⁽¹⁾ Beginning April 1, 2020, on a prospective basis only, the Company plans to classify revenue from certain new and extended custom agreements for services that utilize its syndicated data set as Ratings and Planning. Prior to April 1, 2020, revenue from these agreements was classified as Analytics and Optimization. The Company does not expect a material impact to either Ratings and Planning revenue or Analytics and Optimization revenue from this change, which is intended to better reflect management's categorization of the underlying services.
