- Double-digit revenue growth with strong backlog: Quarterly revenue rose to $281.3 million from $251.6 million, driven mainly by software subscriptions, and remaining performance obligations totaled approximately $1.908 billion, with about $814 million expected to be recognized over the next twelve months.
Negative
- None.
Insights
CCC shifted from a loss to profit with double‑digit revenue growth while leveraging buybacks.
CCC delivered quarterly revenue of $281.274M, up from $251.565M, and turned a prior-year loss into net income of $15.417M. Operating income reached $48.817M, reflecting lower research, sales, and G&A expenses alongside higher software subscription revenue.
Cash from operating activities was a solid $57.461M, though period-end cash declined to $36.9M after significant capital returns and earlier acquisition spending. The company carried Term Loan debt of about $1.288B with interest expense of $20.3M and used interest rate swaps that had a $3.016M liability at March 31, 2026.
Capital allocation was active: CCC repurchased $100.0M of stock in Q1 2026 and previously executed a $300.0M accelerated share repurchase, leaving $100.0M available under the 2025 program. Remaining performance obligations of about $1.908B, including $814M expected within twelve months, underscore contracted visibility into future revenue.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including those relating to the future financial performance and business strategies and expectations for our business. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, client demand, business strategies, technology developments, financing and investment plans, competitive position, our industry and regulatory environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include:
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are
3
beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described above and under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

CCC INTELLIGENT SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a leading software as a service (“SaaS”) and artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform provider for the multi-trillion-dollar insurance economy powering operations for insurers, repairers, automakers, part suppliers, and more. CCC’s cloud technology connects businesses digitizing mission-critical workflows, commerce and customer experiences.
The Company’s cloud-based SaaS platform connects trading partners, facilitates commerce, and supports mission-critical, AI enabled digital workflows.
The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The Company’s primary operations are in the United States (“U.S.”) and it also has operations in China.
Basis of Presentation—The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of mezzanine equity and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except where disclosed) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements may not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies since December 31, 2025.
Basis of Accounting—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The ownership interest of the minority investor as of December 31, 2024 is recorded as a non-controlling interest in CCCIS Cayman Holdings Limited (“CCC Cayman”), the parent of the Company’s China operations.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts, and the disclosures of contingent amounts, in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although the Company regularly assesses its estimates, actual results could differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions are not substantially accurate. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates in these condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimation of contract transaction prices, the determination of the amortization period for contract assets, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, and the estimates and assumptions associated with stock incentive plans.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. Among other things, this update removes the accounting consideration of software project development stages, and requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform its intended function. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, modified basis, or retrospective basis. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods in those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 to its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires new disclosures aimed at enhancing transparency in financial reporting by requiring disaggregation of specific expense captions within the statement of operations. Under the update, entities are required to disclose a breakdown of certain expense categories, such as: employee compensation; depreciation; amortization, and other material components. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to this update.
There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that are of significance or potential significance to us.
EvolutionIQ
On January 6, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of EvolutionIQ, Inc. (“EvolutionIQ”), a privately held company that provides AI-powered guidance for disability and injury claims management. Leveraging EvolutionIQ’s platform, the acquisition broadens the Company’s portfolio of AI-based solutions available to insurance customers.
The Company acquired all outstanding shares of EvolutionIQ in exchange for total consideration of $

The fair value of the option holdback corresponds to the fair value of certain unvested EvolutionIQ stock options subject to future vesting as of the acquisition date. If the optionholder does not meet the time-based vesting requirement, the corresponding holdback amount is released to the selling shareholders. If the optionholder meets the vesting requirement, the optionholder receives the corresponding holdback amount in shares of the Company’s common stock, and the holdback cash amount is retained by the Company. Upon settlement the Company retained $
The acquisition of EvolutionIQ was accounted for as a business combination and reflects the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair value as of the acquisition date with the excess purchase price assigned to

goodwill. Goodwill was primarily attributable to expected synergies from the combined service offerings and the value of the acquired workforce. Goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.
The Company’s estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on information available at the date of acquisition. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments may be recorded to the fair values of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the final allocation of the consideration to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

The Company utilized different valuation approaches and methodologies to determine the fair values of acquired intangible assets. The valuation approaches and methodologies were based on estimates of future operating projections as well as judgments on the discount rates and other variables. These fair values were based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions and thus represent Level 3 measures in the fair value hierarchy.
Acquired technology was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. This method of valuation reflects the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the acquired technology less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows.
Customer relationships were valued using a distributor method, which uses market-based inputs to value an asset. Under the distributor method, the value of the customer relationships is a function of several components, including revenue associated with the existing customers, distributor profit margin, charges for use of other assets and discount rate.
The trademark was valued under the relief from royalty method, which is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the trademark as opposed to paying a third party for its use.
The acquired intangible assets, with a weighted average useful life of

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Interest Rate Swaps—In February 2025, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements to reduce its exposure to variability from future cash flows resulting from interest rate risk related to its floating rate long-term debt (see Note 14). The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was estimated using inputs that were observable or that could be corroborated by observable market data and therefore was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026.
The Company does not designate its interest rate swap agreements as hedging instruments and records the changes in fair value within other income (expense)-net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate swap agreements had a fair value liability of $

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis—The Company has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and other intangible assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is determined to be impaired.

Guarantees—The Company’s services and solutions are typically warranted to perform in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and substantially in accordance with the Company’s services and solutions documentation under normal use and circumstances. The Company’s services and solutions are generally warranted to be performed in a professional manner and to materially conform to the specifications set forth in the related customer contract.

The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted earnings per share is computed by assuming the exercise, settlement and vesting of all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method. The Company excludes common stock equivalent shares from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive. In a period where the Company is in a net loss position, the diluted loss per share is calculated using the basic share count.
25
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (in thousands, except for share and per share data).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements included herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” as set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “CCC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Business Overview
Founded in 1980, CCC is a leading Software as a Service (“SaaS”) and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) platform provider for the multi-trillion-dollar insurance economy powering operations for insurers, repairers, automakers, part suppliers, and more. CCC cloud technology connects more than 35,000 businesses digitizing mission-critical workflows, commerce, and customer experiences. A trusted leader in AI, customer experience, network and workflow management, CCC delivers technology that turns crucial moments into intelligent experiences, with the goal of shaping a world where life just works.
Our business has been built upon two foundational pillars: automotive insurance claims and automotive collision repair. For decades we have delivered leading software solutions to both the insurance and repair industries, including pioneering Direct Repair Programs (“DRP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) beginning in 1992. DRP connects auto insurers and collision repair shops to create business value for both parties, and requires digital tools to facilitate interactions and manage partner programs. Insurer-to-shop DRP connections have created a strong network effect for CCC’s platform, as insurers and repairers both benefit by joining the largest network to maximize opportunities. This has led to a virtuous cycle in which more insurers on the platform drives more value for the collision shops on the platform, and vice versa.
We believe we have become a leading insurance and repair SaaS and AI provider in the U.S. by increasing the depth and breadth of our SaaS offerings over many years. Our insurance solutions help insurance carriers manage mission-critical workflows across the claims lifecycle, while building intelligent experiences for their customers. Our software integrates seamlessly with both legacy and modern systems and enables insurers to rapidly innovate on our platform. Our repair solutions help collision repair facilities achieve better performance throughout the collision repair cycle by digitizing processes to drive business growth, streamline operations, and improve repair quality. We have more than 300 insurers on our network, connecting with more than 30,500 repair facilities through our multi-tenant cloud platform. We believe our software is the architectural backbone of insurance DRP systems and is a primary driver of material revenue for our collision repair shop customers and a source of material efficiencies for our insurance carrier customers.
Our platform is designed to solve the “many-to-many” problem faced by the insurance economy. There are numerous internally and externally developed insurance software solutions in the market today, with the vast majority of applications focused on insurance-only use cases and not on serving the broader insurance ecosystem. We have prioritized building a leading network around our automotive insurance and collision repair pillars to further digitize interactions and maximize value for our customers. We have tens of thousands of companies on our platform that participate in the insurance economy, including insurers, repairers, parts suppliers, and automotive manufacturers. Our solutions create value for each of these parties by enabling them to connect to our vast network to collaborate with other companies, streamline operations, and reduce processing costs and dollars lost through claims management inefficiencies, or claims leakage. Expanding our platform has added new layers of network effects, further accelerating the adoption of our software solutions.
We have processed more than $2 trillion of historical data across our network, allowing us to build proprietary data assets that leverage insurance claims, vehicle repair, automotive parts and other vehicle-specific information. We believe we are uniquely positioned to provide data-driven insights, analytics, and AI-enhanced workflows that strengthen our solutions and improve business outcomes for our customers. Our AI solutions streamline existing insurance and repair processes including vehicle damage detection, claim triage, claim handling, repair estimating, intelligent claim review, and claim subrogation. We deliver real-world AI with more than 125 U.S. insurers and more than 15,000 U.S. collision repairers actively using AI-powered solutions in production environments.
One of the primary obstacles facing the insurance economy is increasing complexity which is driven by technological advancements, supply-chain disruption, social inflation, medical inflation, and Internet-of-Things (“IOT”) data. We believe digitization plays a critical role in managing this growing complexity while meeting consumer expectations. Our technology investments are focused on digitizing complex processes and interactions across our ecosystem, and we believe we are well positioned to power the insurance economy of the future with our data, network, and platform.
While our position in the insurance economy is grounded in the automotive insurance sector, the largest Property & Casualty (“P&C”) insurance sector in the U.S. representing nearly half of P&C Direct Written Premium (“DWP”), we believe our integrations
29
and cloud platform are capable of driving innovation across the broader insurance economy. Our customers are increasingly looking for CCC to expand its solutions to other parts of their business where they can benefit from our technology, service, and partnership. In response, we are investing in new solutions that we believe will enable us to digitize the entire automotive claims lifecycle, and over time expand into adjacencies including other insurance lines. For example, CCC’s acquisition of EvolutionIQ, Inc. (“EvolutionIQ”) in January 2025 added claims solutions in disability and workers’ compensation insurance lines to CCC’s solution suite.
We have strong customer relationships in the end-markets we serve, and these relationships are a key component of our success given the long-term nature of our contracts and the interconnectedness of our network. We have customer agreements with more than 300 insurers (including carriers, self-insurers and other entities processing insurance claims), including 27 of the top 30 automotive insurance carriers and 9 of the top 15 disability insurance carriers in the U.S., based on DWP, and hundreds of regional carriers. We have more than 35,000 total customers, including more than 30,500 automotive collision repair facilities (including repairers and other entities that estimate damaged vehicles), more than 6,000 parts and diagnostics suppliers, 14 of the top 15 automotive manufacturers based on vehicles in operation, and numerous other companies that participate in the insurance economy.
Key Performance Measures and Operating Metrics
In addition to our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, we rely on Software Net Dollar Retention Rate (“Software NDR”) and Software Gross Dollar Retention Rate (“Software GDR”) to measure and evaluate our business and to make strategic decisions. Software NDR and Software GDR may not be comparable to or calculated in the same way as other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Software NDR
We believe that Software NDR provides our management and our investors with insight into our ability to retain and grow revenue from our existing customers, as well as their potential long-term value to us. We also believe the results shown by this metric reflect the stability of our revenue base, which is one of our core competitive strengths. We calculate Software NDR by dividing (a) annualized software revenue recorded in the last month of the measurement period, for example, March for a quarter ending March 31, for unique billing accounts that generated revenue during the corresponding month of the prior year by (b) annualized software revenue as of the corresponding month of the prior year. The calculation includes changes for these billing accounts, such as changes in the solutions purchased, changes in pricing and transaction volume, but does not reflect revenue for new customers added. The calculation excludes: (a) changes in estimates related to the timing of one-time revenue and other revenue, including professional services, and (b) annualized software revenue for smaller customers with annualized software revenue below the threshold of $100,000 for carriers and $4,000 for shops. The customers that do not meet the revenue threshold are small carriers and shops that tend to have different buying behaviors, with a narrower solution focus, and different tenure compared to our core customers (excluded small carriers and shops represent less than 5% of total revenue within these sales channels). Our Software NDR includes carriers and shops who subscribe to our auto physical damage solutions, and carriers who subscribe to our claims synthesis and claims guidance solutions, which account for most of the Company’s revenue, and excludes revenue from smaller emerging solutions with international subsidiaries or other ecosystem solutions, such as parts suppliers and other automotive manufacturers, and also excludes CCC casualty solutions which are largely usage and professional service based.

Software GDR
We believe that Software GDR provides our management and our investors with insight into the value our solutions provide to our customers as represented by our ability to retain our existing customer base. We believe the results shown by this metric reflect the strength and stability of our revenue base, which is one of our core competitive strengths. We calculate Software GDR by dividing (a) annualized software revenue recorded in the last month of the measurement period in the prior year, reduced by annualized software revenue for unique billing accounts that are no longer customers as of the current period end by (b) annualized software revenue as of the corresponding month of the prior year. The calculation reflects only customer losses and does not reflect customer expansion or contraction for these billing accounts and does not reflect revenue for new customer billing accounts added. Our Software GDR calculation represents our annualized software revenue that is retained from the prior year and demonstrates that the vast majority of our customers continue to use our solutions and renew their subscriptions. The calculation excludes: (a) changes in estimates related to the timing of one-time revenue and other revenue, including professional services, and (b) annualized software revenue for smaller customers with annualized software revenue below the threshold of $100,000 for carriers and $4,000 for shops. The customers that do not meet the revenue threshold are small carriers and shops that tend to have different buying behaviors, with a narrower solution
30
focus, and different tenure compared to our core customers (excluded small carriers and shops which represent less than 5% of total revenue within these sales channels). Our Software GDR includes carriers and shops who subscribe to our auto physical damage solutions, and carriers who subscribe to our claims synthesis and claims guidance solutions, which account for most of the Company’s revenue, and excludes revenue from smaller emerging solutions with international subsidiaries or other ecosystem solutions, such as parts suppliers and other automotive manufacturers, and excludes CCC casualty solutions which are largely usage and professional service based.

Revenues
Revenues increased by $29.7 million to $281.3 million, or 11.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s software subscription revenues accounted for $270.1 million and $242.5 million, or 96% of total revenue, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The increase in revenue was primarily a result of 9% growth from existing customer upgrades and expanding solution offerings to these existing customers and 3% growth from new customers.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased by $5.8 million to $72.4 million, or 8.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cost of Revenues, exclusive of amortization of acquired technologies
Cost of revenues, exclusive of amortization of acquired technologies, increased by $5.8 million to $68.0 million, or 9.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in information technology (“IT”) related costs and a $2.3 million increase in personnel-related costs.
Amortization of Acquired Technologies
Amortization of acquired technologies was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and three months ended March 31, 2025.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by $23.9 million to $208.9 million, or 12.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our gross profit margin was 74.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 73.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was due to increased software subscription revenues and economies of scale resulting from fixed cost arrangements.
Research and Development
Research and development expense decreased by $9.3 million to $52.5 million, or 15.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, a $4.9 million decrease in IT related costs, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in personnel and resource related costs.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expense decreased by $8.9 million to $39.4 million, or 18.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was due to a $3.9 million decrease in personnel-related costs and a $5.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

General and administrative expense decreased by $17.5 million to $49.6 million, or 26.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $17.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $3.4 million to $20.3 million, or 19.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to the interest incurred on an additional $300 million term loan as part of the fifth amendment to the 2021 credit agreement entered into in December 2025, partially offset by lower variable interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
33
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by $1.0 million to $0.9 million, or 51.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to lower average balances on interest earning deposits and money market funds during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Other Income (Expense)—Net
We recognized other income—Net of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to other expense—Net of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of derivative instrument liabilities, driven by the fair value of the Company’s three interest rate swap agreements. The expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the increase in the fair value of derivative instruments liabilities, driven by the fair value of the Company's three interest rate swap agreements entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
The Company recognized an income tax provision of $18.0 million and an income tax benefit of $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The income tax provision during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to the Company's pre-tax book income, as well as the tax impact related to stock-based compensation expense. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the Company’s pre-tax book loss.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow, which are each non-GAAP measures, are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning, budgeting and forecasting purposes and setting management bonus programs. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively with GAAP measures, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance and comparing our performance with competitors and other comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate these measures in the same fashion. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a description of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis.
Adjusted Gross Profit
We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit, as defined below, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as gross profit, adjusted for amortization of acquired technologies and stock-based compensation and related employer payroll tax, which are not indicative of our recurring core business operating results. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by Revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations with cash flows from operations. The Company generated $57.5 million of cash flows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $36.9 million, a working capital surplus of $50.6 million and an accumulated deficit totaling $1,780.3 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $1,287.7 million aggregate principal outstanding on its term loan.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our cash flows from operating activities and our borrowing capacity under our 2021 Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, fund required long-term debt repayments and meet our commitments for capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.
Although we are not currently a party to any material definitive agreement regarding potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, applications or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements, which could reduce our cash and cash equivalents or require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds from financing arrangements may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
Debt
On September 21, 2021, CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, together with certain of the Company’s subsidiaries acting as guarantors entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “2021 Credit Agreement”).
2021 Credit Agreement — The 2021 Credit Agreement originally consisted of an $800.0 million term loan, the proceeds of which, with cash on hand were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Company’s previous credit agreement. The 2021 Credit Agreement also includes a revolving credit facility (“2021 Revolving Credit Facility”) for an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility has a sublimit of $75.0 million for letters of credit.
2024 Refinancing — In September 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to (i) remove the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) credit adjustment applicable to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) reduce the applicable interest rate for the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility by 0.25%. Additionally, the maturity date for the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility was extended to September 23, 2029, subject to a springing maturity date of June 22, 2028 if greater than $234.0 million of the initial Term B Loan remains outstanding as of such date.
At the time of entering into the 2021 Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $3.1 million in financing costs related to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company incurred $0.7 million in financing costs related to the Second Amendment. These costs were recorded to a deferred financing fees asset account and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.
2025 Additional Borrowing and Refinancing — On January 6, 2025, in conjunction with the acquisition of EvolutionIQ (Note 3), the Company entered into Amendment No.3 to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) that provided the Company with incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loans”). Immediately after the Third Amendment, the Incremental Term Loans were repayable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, with the balance payable at maturity, September 21, 2028.
Immediately after the Third Amendment, the interest rate per annum applicable to the Incremental Term Loans were based on a fluctuating rate of interest, determined by the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement. In connection with the Fourth Amendment (as defined below), the Incremental Term Loans were refinanced together with other term loans outlined in the following paragraphs.
On January 23, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No.4 (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the 2021 Credit Agreement.
37
Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment, (i) the Company incurred incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million, which were used to refinance certain outstanding incremental term loans (including the Incremental Term Loans), (ii) the maturity of all term loans under the 2021 Credit Agreement was extended to January 23, 2032, (iii) the credit spread adjustment applicable to SOFR loans under the 2021 Credit Agreement was removed, and (iv) the interest rate margin applicable to all term loans under the 2021 Credit Agreement was removed.
On December 12, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No.5 to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Fifth Amendment, the Company incurred incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, which were used to fund the ASR program.
All other terms and conditions within the Company’s 2021 Credit Agreement were unchanged as part of the Amendments.
Upon execution of the Fifth Amendment, the Company had outstanding borrowings under all term loans under the 2021 Credit Agreement of $1,291 million (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “2021 Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan, the “2021 Credit Facilities”).
The Company incurred $6.5 million in costs related to the Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment, recorded as contra debt. The Company incurred $1.2 million in costs related to the Fifth Amendment, recorded as contra debt. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan using the effective interest method.
The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $3.3 million until December 31, 2031, with the remaining outstanding principal amount required to be paid on the maturity date, January 23, 2032. If the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement is greater than 3.5, the Term Loan requires a prepayment of principal, subject to certain exceptions, in connection with the receipt of proceeds from certain asset sales, casualty events, and debt issuances by the Company, and up to 50% of annual excess cash flow, as defined in and as further set forth in the 2021 Credit Agreement. When a principal prepayment is required, the prepayment offsets the future quarterly principal payments of the same amount. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s leverage ratio did not exceed the 3.5 threshold and the Company was not subject to the annual excess cash flow calculation, and as such, was not required to make a prepayment of principal.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount outstanding on the Term Loan is $1,287.7 million and $1,291.0 million, respectively, of which $13.0 million, respectively, is classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities bear interest at rates based on the ratio of CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries’ consolidated first lien net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for applicable periods specified in the 2021 Credit Agreement.
From and after the Fourth Amendment, the interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan is based on a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the sum of an applicable rate and, at the Company’s election from time to time, either:
(1) 1.00% in the case of base rate loans, and 2.00%, in the case of SOFR (or the Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) or the Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (“SONIA”)) loans, if S&P and Moody’s Debt First Lien Leverage Ratio Ratings (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are below BB- (with a stable outlook) or below Ba3 (with a stable outlook) (or if for any reason this category does not apply, including if the Borrower has only one Debt Rating or the Borrower does not have any Debt Rating); or
(2) 0.75%, in the case of base rate loans, and 1.75%, in the case of SOFR (or EURIBOR or SONIA) loans, if S&P and Moody’s Debt First Lien Leverage Ratio Ratings are both BB- (with a stable outlook) or better and Ba3 (with a stable outlook) or better.
Prior to the Fourth Amendment, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans was based on a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the sum of an applicable rate and term SOFR (or EURIBOR or SONIA) with a term, as selected by the Company, of one, three or six months (subject to (x) in the case of term loans, a 0.50% per annum floor and (y) in the case of revolving loans, a 0.00% per annum floor).
A quarterly commitment fee of up to 0.50% is payable on the unused portion of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan was 5.8% and 6.1%, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has an outstanding standby letter of credit for $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which reduces the amount available to be borrowed under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $249.0 million and $248.9 million, respectively, was available to be borrowed.
Borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Cypress Holdings Intermediate Holdings II, LLC., and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries by a perfected first priority lien on the stock of CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc., and substantially all of its assets, subject to various limitations and exceptions.
38
The 2021 Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, that among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability to: incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions; pay dividends and distributions on, or redeem, repurchase or retire our capital stock; and make certain investments, acquisitions, loans, or advances.
The terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement include a financial covenant which requires that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, if the aggregate amount of borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 35% of the aggregate commitments of the Company, the leverage ratio of CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries cannot exceed 6.25 to 1.00. Borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed 35% of the aggregate commitments and the Company was not subject to the leverage test as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Interest Rate Swaps—In February 2025, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) to reduce its exposure to variability from future cash flows resulting from interest rate risk related to its floating rate long-term debt. Pursuant to the terms of the Swaps, beginning on July 31, 2025, the Company will pay an average fixed interest rate of 3.94% on an aggregate notional amount corresponding to borrowings of $750.0 million in exchange for receipts on the same notional amount at a floating interest rate based on the applicable SOFR at the time of payment. The Swaps expire on July 31, 2027.
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was estimated using inputs that were observable or that could be corroborated by observable market data and therefore, was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026. The Company does not designate its interest rate swap agreements as hedging instruments and records the changes in fair value within earnings. As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate fair value of the Swaps was a liability of $3.0 million (see Note 5).
Net cash paid related to the Swaps was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, recorded within other income (expense)-net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Interest Rate Caps—In August 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements to reduce its exposure to increases in interest rates applicable to its floating rate long-term debt. The interest rate cap agreements had an aggregate notional amount of $600.0 million and a one-month SOFR cap rate of 4.00%.
The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements was estimated using inputs that were observable or that could be corroborated by observable market data and therefore, was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2025. The Company did not designate its interest rate cap agreements as hedging instruments and records the changes in fair value within earnings. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of the interest rate cap agreements was $0.6 million. The interest rate cap agreements expired in July 2025.
Cash received related to the interest rate cap agreements was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, recorded within other income (expense)-net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Net cash provided by operating activities was $57.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Net cash provided by operating activities consists of a net income of $15.4 million, adjusted for $67.8 million of non-cash items, $23.1 million for decreases in working capital and $2.7 million for the effect of decreases in other operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash adjustments include stock-based compensation expense of $31.9 million and depreciation and amortization of $36.3 million, and deferred income taxes of $2.8 million, partially offset by a change in fair value of derivative instruments of $4.4 million. The change in working capital was primarily a result of a decrease in accrued expenses of $25.1 million due to employee incentive plan payments and a decrease in accounts payable of $7.3 million due to timing of payments to suppliers.
Net cash used in investing activities was $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Net cash used in investing activities was due to $15.9 million of capitalized internally developed software projects and purchases of software, equipment, and property.
Net cash used in financing activities was $115.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $100.2 million for a repurchase of common stock, $17.3 million of payments for employee tax liabilities related to the net share settlement of employee equity awards and $3.3 million of principal payments of long-term debt.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial condition and our results of operations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, and expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience, trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026 identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions.

The Company’s management believes, based on current information, matters currently pending or threatened are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For risk factors relating to our business, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on the results of our operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

(1) In December 2025, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The program has no expiration date.
(2) In December 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement “ASR” to repurchase $300.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The ASR was entered into as part of our share repurchase program described above. The Company pre-paid $300.0 million in December 2025 and received an initial delivery of 33,240,998 shares of common stock. The agreement was settled with the delivery of an additional 9,606,474 shares of common stock in February 2026. The total number of shares ultimately delivered under the ASR was 42,847,472 shares and therefore the average purchase price paid per share of $7.00, was determined based upon the volume-weighted average market price of our common stock during the term of the agreement, less a discount.
