    Moody´s Corporation (NYSE: MCO) today announced results for the
    fourth quarter and full year 2007.

    Summary of Results for Fourth Quarter 2007

    Moody´s reported revenue of $504.9 million for the three months
    ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of 14% from $590.0 million for the
    same quarter of 2006. Operating income was $212.1 million and diluted
    earnings per share were $0.49, which included a restructuring charge
    of $47.8 million or $0.11 per share. Excluding the restructuring
    charge in 2007 and the gain from a building sale in 2006, operating
    income of $259.9 million declined 14% from $302.7 million in the
    year-ago period. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.60 in the
    quarter decreased 6% from $0.64 per share in the prior year period.

    Summary of Results for Full Year 2007

    Revenue for the full year 2007 totaled $2,259.0 million, an
    increase of 11% from $2,037.1 million for the same period of 2006.
    Operating income for the full year 2007 was $1,131.0 million and
    included a restructuring charge of $50.0 million. Diluted earnings per
    share of $2.58 for the full year 2007 included a $0.19 per share
    benefit from the settlement of a legacy tax matter in the second
    quarter of 2007 and an $0.11 per share charge related to restructuring
    actions. Excluding the 2007 restructuring charge and the 2006 gain on
    building sale, operating income of $1,181.0 for 2007 grew 7% from
    $1,098.9 million in 2006. Excluding the adjustments listed above and
    the impact of legacy tax matters in both years, full year 2007 diluted
    earnings per share were $2.50, 11% higher than $2.25 in 2006.

    Raymond McDaniel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Moody´s,
    commented, "Moody´s confronted unprecedented challenges in 2007 as
    credit problems that began in the U.S. housing sector affected
    important parts of our ratings business globally. Despite these
    difficult conditions, Moody´s reported solid financial performance for
    2007 based on very strong performance in the first half of the year."
    In speaking about 2008, Mr. McDaniel added, "The severity and
    protracted nature of current credit market dislocations confirms that
    the challenges of 2007 will persist well into 2008. Moody´s is
    responding to these conditions by providing more extensive research
    and credit evaluation tools. We are also working closely with market
    participants on information transparency in order to restore
    confidence and to support more orderly credit market operations as
    quickly as possible."

    Fourth Quarter Revenue

    Revenue at Moody´s Investors Service for the fourth quarter of
    2007 was $460.7 million, 16% lower than the prior year period. Foreign
    currency translation positively impacted operating results, mainly due
    to the weakness of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro and the
    British pound, increasing revenue and operating income growth by
    approximately 230 and 160 basis points, respectively.

    Ratings revenue totaled $372.6 million in the quarter, a decrease
    of 23% from a year ago. Growth in revenue from the global financial
    institutions business was more than offset by declines across all
    other global ratings businesses.

    Global structured finance revenue totaled $164.9 million for the
    fourth quarter of 2007, a decrease of 40% from a year earlier. U.S.
    structured finance revenue decreased 53%, driven by significant
    declines in issuance across most asset categories. International
    structured finance revenue decreased 17%, led by declines in the
    European credit derivatives and commercial mortgage-backed securities
    businesses.

    Global corporate finance revenue of $104.5 million in the fourth
    quarter of 2007 was down slightly with the same quarter of 2006 as
    growth in relationship-based fees mitigated declines in issuance-based
    revenue. Revenue in the U.S. rose 2% from the prior year period,
    reflecting significant growth in revenue from investment-grade bond
    ratings, partially offset by double-digit revenue declines from rating
    high yield bonds and leveraged bank loans. Outside the U.S., corporate
    finance revenue decreased 7% due primarily to declines in revenue from
    rating both investment-grade and speculative-grade securities, mainly
    in Europe.

    Global financial institutions and sovereigns revenue totaled $73.8
    million for the fourth quarter of 2007, increasing 6% from the prior
    year period. Revenue in the U.S. grew 5%, driven mainly by favorable
    results in the insurance sector. Outside the U.S., revenue rose 6%
    reflecting good performance in the banking sectors in both Europe and
    Asia.

    U.S. public finance revenue was $29.4 million for the fourth
    quarter of 2007, declining 6% from the robust fourth quarter of 2006.

    Moody´s global research revenue rose to $88.1 million, up 30% from
    the same quarter of 2006. This growth reflected good increases in each
    of Moody´s research product segments, including credit and economic
    analysis subscriptions, analytical software and credit training
    services.

    Revenue at Moody´s KMV ("MKMV") for the fourth quarter of 2007 was
    $44.2 million, 11% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2006. Results
    were bolstered by strong growth in revenue from the licensing of
    credit processing software and sales of risk product subscriptions.

    On a geographic basis, Moody´s U.S. revenue of $277.1 million for
    the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased 23% from the fourth quarter of
    2006. Non-U.S. revenue of $227.8 million was essentially flat to the
    prior year period and reflected approximately 530 basis points of
    positive impact from currency translation. International revenue
    accounted for 45% of Moody´s total revenue in the quarter compared
    with 39% in the year-ago period.

    Fourth Quarter Expenses

    Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $292.8
    million and included a restructuring charge of $47.8 million.
    Excluding the restructuring charge in 2007 and the gain on a building
    sale in 2006, Moody´s operating expenses were $245.0 million in the
    fourth quarter, 15% lower than in the prior year period, and $29.5
    million or 11% lower than operating expenses in the third quarter of
    2007, primarily related to lower incentive compensation expenses.
    Moody´s operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 51%, equal
    to the margin for the same period in 2006, excluding the restructuring
    charge in 2007 and gain on sale in 2006.

    Fourth Quarter Effective Tax Rate

    Moody´s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2007 was
    33.8% as compared with 39.9% for the prior year period. The reduced
    tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2007 was primarily due to lower
    state income taxes, including the 2007 reduction of the New York State
    income tax rate and the benefit from a higher proportion of income
    earned in lower tax jurisdictions.

    Full Year 2007 Results

    Revenue at Moody´s Investors Service totaled $2,104.2 million for
    the full year 2007, an increase of 11% from the prior year period.
    Currency translation had a positive impact on these results,
    increasing revenue and operating income growth by approximately 210
    basis points and 180 basis points, respectively. Global ratings
    revenue was $1,779.9 million for the full year 2007, up 9% from
    $1,639.8 million in the same period of 2006. Each of the global
    ratings business lines achieved year-over-year revenue growth, led by
    double-digit growth in corporate finance and financial institutions.
    Research revenue rose to $324.3 million for the full year 2007, up 27%
    from the full year 2006. Finally, revenue at MKMV for the full year
    2007 totaled $154.8 million, 8% higher than in the prior year period.

    Share Repurchases and Capital Structure

    During the fourth quarter of 2007, Moody´s repurchased 7.7 million
    shares at a total cost of $311.4 million and issued 0.8 million shares
    of stock under stock-based compensation plans. For the full year 2007,
    Moody´s repurchased 31.3 million shares at a total cost of $1.7
    billion and issued 4.3 million shares under stock-based compensation
    plans. Outstanding shares as of December 31, 2007 totaled 251.4
    million, representing a 10% decrease from 278.6 million shares a year
    earlier. Share repurchases during the year were funded using a
    combination of free cash flow and borrowings. At year-end, Moody´s had
    $1.2 billion of outstanding debt with an additional $400 million
    available. Additionally, as of December 31, 2007, Moody´s had $2.0
    billion of share repurchase authority remaining under its current
    program.

    Outlook for Full Year 2008

    Beginning January 1, 2008, Moody´s segments were changed to
    reflect the business reorganization announced in August 2007. As a
    result of the reorganization, the rating agency remains in the Moody´s
    Investors Service ("MIS") operating company and several ratings
    business lines have been realigned. All of Moody´s other commercial
    activities, including Moody´s KMV and sales of MIS research, are now
    combined under a new operating company known as Moody´s Analytics.
    Moody´s new initiatives in fixed income pricing and valuations will
    also be captured within Moody´s Analytics. Please refer to the
    reconciliation tables at the end of this press release for further
    details.

    Moody´s outlook for 2008 is based on assumptions about many
    macroeconomic and capital market factors, including interest rates,
    corporate profitability and business investment spending, merger and
    acquisition activity, consumer spending, residential mortgage
    borrowing and refinancing activity, securitization levels and capital
    markets issuance. There is an important degree of uncertainty
    surrounding these assumptions and, if actual conditions differ from
    these assumptions, Moody´s results for the year may differ from our
    current outlook.

    For Moody´s overall, full-year 2008 revenue is expected to decline
    in the low double-digit percent range. This decline assumes foreign
    currency translation in 2008 at current exchange rates. We anticipate
    a weak first half of 2008 with improvement in market liquidity and
    issuance conditions later in the year. Under this scenario, we note
    that Moody´s first half 2008 performance is likely to reflect
    unusually weak market conditions, as well as challenging year-on-year
    comparisons against the first half of 2007 when Moody´s delivered
    record performance. Excluding the 2007 restructuring charge, we expect
    the full-year 2008 operating margin to decline to the mid- to
    high-forties percent range, due primarily to lower ratings revenue.
    Full-year expenses are expected to be about flat to full year 2007,
    excluding the restructuring charge, as the annualized impact of new
    hires added in the first half of 2007 and investments we continue to
    make in the growing areas of our business will be offset by savings
    from our restructuring actions. Earnings per share for 2008 are
    projected in a range from $2.17 to $2.25.

    For the global Moody´s Investors Service business, we expect
    revenue for the full year 2008 to decline in the mid-to high-teens
    percent range. Within the U.S., we project Moody´s Investors Service
    revenue to decrease in the mid-twenties percent range for the full
    year 2008.

    In the U.S. structured finance business, we expect revenue for the
    year to decline in the low- to mid-forties percent range, reflecting
    double-digit percent declines in most asset classes, led by
    residential mortgage-backed securities and credit derivatives ratings.

    In the U.S. corporate finance business, we expect revenue to
    decrease in the low-teens percent range for the year driven by
    declines across all asset classes.

    In both the U.S. financial institutions and public, project and
    infrastructure finance sectors, we project revenue in 2008 to grow in
    the low single-digit percent range.

    Outside the U.S. we expect Moody´s Investors Service revenue to
    decrease in the low single-digit percent range. Good growth from
    rating financial institutions; public, project and infrastructure
    finance; and corporate securities is expected to be more than offset
    by a decline in structured finance ratings revenue, primarily in
    Europe.

    For Moody´s Analytics, we expect revenue growth in the mid-teens
    percent range. In the U.S., growth is projected to be in the low-teens
    percent range while outside the U.S., revenue is expected to increase
    in the high-teens percent range. Growth in the subscription businesses
    is expected in the mid-teens range, reflecting continued demand for
    credit and economic research, structured finance analytics, and the
    impact of our newly formed pricing and valuation business. In the
    consulting business, we anticipate very strong growth, reflecting a
    robust pipeline of professional services engagements and credit
    training projects. There is considerable demand for Moody´s expertise
    in credit education, risk modeling, and scorecard development as
    customers implement more sophisticated risk management processes and
    comply with regulatory requirements. In the software business, we
    expect revenue to be flat versus 2007, as customers begin to migrate
    to new generation software platforms.

    could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those
    indicated by these forward-looking statements. Those factors include,
    but are not limited to, matters that could affect the volume of debt
    securities issued in domestic and/or global capital markets, including
    credit quality concerns, changes in interest rates and other
    volatility in the financial markets; possible loss of market share
    through competition; introduction of competing products or
    technologies by other companies; pricing pressures from competitors
    and/or customers; the potential emergence of government-sponsored
    credit rating agencies; proposed U.S., foreign, state and local
    legislation and regulations; regulations relating to the oversight of
    Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations; possible
    judicial decisions in various jurisdictions regarding the status of
    and potential liabilities of rating agencies; the possible loss of key
    employees to investment or commercial banks or elsewhere and related
    compensation cost pressures; the outcome of any review by controlling
    tax authorities of the Company´s global tax planning initiatives; the
    outcome of those legacy tax and legal contingencies that relate to the
    Company, its predecessors and their affiliated companies for which
    Moody´s has assumed portions of the financial responsibility; the
    outcome of other legal actions to which the Company, from time to
    time, may be named as a party; the ability of the Company to
    successfully integrate acquired businesses; a decline in the demand
    for credit risk management tools by financial institutions; and other
    risk factors as discussed in the Company´s annual report on Form 10-K
    for the year ended December 31, 2006 and in other filings made by the

    In addition to its reported results, Moody´s has included in the table
    above adjusted results that the Securities and Exchange Commission
    defines as "non-GAAP financial measures." Management believes that
    such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the
    company´s reported results, can provide useful supplemental
    information for investors analyzing period to period comparisons of
    the company´s growth. The table above shows Moody´s results for the
    three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2007, adjusted to
    reflect the following:

    (a) To exclude the restructuring charge.

    (b) To exclude an earnings benefit of $31.9 million relating to the
    resolution of certain legacy tax matters.

    (c) To reflect the income tax impacts related to the adjustments
    described in note (a) and to exclude an income tax benefit of $20.4
    million for the full year of 2007 related to the resolution of
    certain legacy tax matters.

    In addition to its reported results, Moody´s has included in the table
    above adjusted results that the Securities and Exchange Commission
    defines as "non-GAAP financial measures." Management believes that
    such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the
    company´s reported results, can provide useful supplemental
    information for investors analyzing period to period comparisons of
    the company´s growth. The table above shows Moody´s results for the
    three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2006, adjusted to
    reflect the following:

    (a) To exclude the gain on sale of building.

    (b) To reflect the income tax impacts related to the adjustment
    described in note (a) and to exclude an income tax benefit of $2.4
    million for the full year of 2006 related to legacy tax matters.

    (a) Adjustments relate to the business reorganization announced in
    August 2007 which became effective as of January 1, 2008. It reflects
    the combination of the research business, previously classified in
    Moody´s Investors Service, and Moody´s KMV to form Moody´s Analytics.
    Additionally, sovereign and sub-sovereign ratings were moved from the
    financial institutions business and were combined with public finance
    and project and infrastructure ratings, which were previously part of
    structured finance, to form a new business line called Public,
    project and infrastructure finance. Finally, real estate investment
    trust ratings were moved from corporate finance to the structured
    finance business.
