1st Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

• We continued to see strong momentum across our customer groups in the P&C insurance ecosystem. With our insurance clients, we are seeing good adoption by insurers of our total loss care portfolio, where we now have 21 carriers either onboarded or in pilot. We also added two new carriers to our casualty platform in the quarter. Within the repair facilities, we are seeing strong growth in repair facility locations, which now exceed 27,000, as well as higher solution adoption per location driven by a 21% increase in the number of facilities adopting four or more solutions from CCC compared to 2020.

• As part of our commitment to making it easier for clients to achieve quality repairs and operate at the pace of innovation, we recently leveraged the open ecosystem of the CCC Cloud to further expand the CCC® Diagnostics network with the addition of asTech®, a Repairify company and a global leader in diagnostic, calibration, and programming solutions. The integration makes it easier for repair facilities to capture and document scan information in CCC ONE® workfiles. Digitally integrated systems make it easier for repairers to access, capture, and document information needed to achieve complete repairs. CCC® Diagnostics has now been rolled out to over 10% of our repair facility clients.

• Certain existing shareholders completed a secondary stock offering of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price to the public of $9.70 per share. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the existing stockholders.

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 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 in 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.
