1^st Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

CCC announced that Caliber Collision, the nation's largest auto collision repair provider, has extended its relationship with CCC. Through this multi-year renewal, Caliber will continue to use a broad suite of CCC ONE® solutions, including the addition of CCC® Diagnostics Workflow and CCC® Build Sheets, to streamline operations and enhance services across its repair facilities. With more than 1,800 locations, Caliber offers comprehensive auto repair services across 41 states. Caliber began working with CCC when it had just 100 locations and has grown alongside CCC’s technology, leveraging CCC ONE to support its expansion and enhance operational efficiency. By renewing and extending its relationship with CCC, we believe Caliber will be able to drive greater efficiency in vehicle diagnostics and repair planning.
CCC announced plans to accelerate the inclusion of EvolutionIQ’s proven, high-impact AI in CCC’s auto casualty offerings. This next generation of solutions is being designed to provide AI-powered synthesis and best next action recommendations based on insurer preferences to enhance insurers’ ability to consistently manage increasingly complex injury claims and achieve better outcomes. Medhub for Casualty will be the first available product with an expected launch in Q3, and a further expectation that it will be followed by other planned innovations leveraging EvolutionIQ’s claims guidance across the auto casualty claims lifecycle in later quarters.
CCC recently signed a large OEM with a captive insurance business and a leading market position in EVs. This new relationship is with both the insurance and the collision repair sides of the business and CCC’s solutions are expected to deliver a stair-step improvement in the OEM’s operating efficiency and consumer experience. This signing reflects the continued expansion of the CCC network as well as the applicability of CCC’s solutions across the broader insurance economy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, “adjusted EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA margin,” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted gross profit,” “adjusted gross profit margin,” “adjusted operating expenses,” and “free cash flow” in each case presented on a non-GAAP basis, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the reconciliations of these measures below to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measures evaluated in accordance with GAAP.

This press release also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included for these projections.
