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:

our revenues, the concentration of our customers and the ability to retain our current customers;
our ability to negotiate with our customers on favorable terms;
our ability to maintain and grow our brand and reputation cost-effectively;
the execution of our growth strategy;
the impact of public health outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, including the global COVID-19 pandemic, on our business and results of operations;
our projected financial information, growth rate and market opportunity;
the health of our industry, claim volumes, and market conditions;
changes in the insurance and automotive collision industries, including the adoption of new technologies;
global economic conditions and geopolitical events;
competition in our market and our ability to retain and grow market share;
our ability to develop, introduce and market new enhanced versions of our solutions;
our sales and implementation cycles;
the ability of our research and development efforts to create significant new revenue streams;
changes in applicable laws or regulations;
changes in international economic, political, social and governmental conditions and policies, including corruption risks in China and other countries;
our reliance on third-party data, technology and intellectual property;
our ability to protect our intellectual property;
our ability to keep our data and information systems secure from data security breaches;
our ability to acquire or invest in companies or pursue business partnerships;
our ability to raise financing in the future and improve our capital structure;
our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;
our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;
our ability to expand or maintain our existing customer base; and
our ability to service our indebtedness.

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 beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed

3


 

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.
ORGANIZATION AND nature of operations

CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a leading provider of innovative cloud, mobile, telematics, hyperscale technologies, and applications for the property and casualty ("P&C") insurance economy. Our cloud-based software as a service ("SaaS") platform connects trading partners, facilitates commerce, and supports mission-critical, artificial intelligence ("AI") enabled digital workflows. Our platform digitizes workflows and connects companies across the P&C insurance economy, including insurance carriers, collision repairers, parts suppliers, automotive manufacturers, financial institutions, and others.

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.

The Company was originally incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 3, 2020 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp. ("Dragoneer"). On February 2, 2021, Cypress Holdings Inc. ("CCCIS"), a Delaware corporation, entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") with Dragoneer. In connection with the closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination"), Dragoneer changed its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a Delaware corporation on July 30, 2021, upon which Dragoneer changed its name to CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation—The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of mezzanine equity and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 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 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, 2022.

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, 2022. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies since December 31, 2022.

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 subsidiaries 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 and the ownership interest of the minority investor is recorded as a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary.

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. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual

11


 

results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions are not substantially accurate. 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, the valuation of the warrant liabilities, the estimates and assumptions associated with stock incentive plans, and the measurement of expected contingent consideration in connection with business acquisitions.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest—The Company presents a redeemable non-controlling interest as mezzanine equity within its condensed consolidated balance sheets when it is redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company.

The redeemable non-controlling interest was initially measured at fair value on the date of issuance. When the redemption of a mezzanine-classified non-controlling interest becomes probable, the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest is increased by periodic accretions using the interest method so that the carrying amount will equal the redemption amount on the date that the shares become redeemable. These adjustments are recorded as accretion of redeemable non-controlling interest, with an offset to additional paid-in capital, on the condensed consolidated statements of mezzanine equity and stockholders' equity.

Any such charges to additional paid-in capital affect net (loss) income available to CCC common stockholders as part of the Company's calculation of net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and in January 2021 subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, which refines the scope of Topic 848. These ASUs provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or another rate that is expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 was effective upon issuance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 that defers the sunset date for applying the reference rate reform relief in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 848 to December 31, 2024. The Company adopted these standards during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and transitioned the reference rate within its credit agreement and related interest rate cap agreements from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (see Note 14). The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.
BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On February 8, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Safekeep, Inc. ("Safekeep"), a privately held company that leverages AI to streamline and improve subrogation management across auto, property, workers’ compensation and other insurance lines of business. Leveraging Safekeep’s AI-enabled subrogation solutions, the acquisition broadens the Company’s portfolio of cloud-based solutions available to its insurance customers.

In exchange for all the outstanding shares of Safekeep, the Company paid total cash consideration of $32.3 million upon closing. In accordance with the acquisition agreement, the Company placed $6.0 million in escrow for a general indemnity holdback to be paid to the sellers within 15 months of closing subject to reduction for certain indemnifications and other potential obligations of the selling shareholders. The remaining cash held in escrow was paid to the sellers in May 2023.

As additional consideration for the shares, the acquisition agreement includes a contingent earnout for additional cash consideration. The potential amount of the earnout is calculated as a multiple of revenue, above a defined floor, during the 12-month measurement period ending December 31, 2024 and is not to exceed $90.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date of $0.2 million was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that relies on unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions. Thus, the contingent earnout is a Level 3 measurement.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $32.5 million, which consisted of the following (in thousands):

Cash paid through closing

 

$

32,300

 

Fair value of contingent earnout consideration

 

 

200

 

Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred

 

$

32,500

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and reflects the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired

12


 

and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date with the excess purchase price assigned to goodwill. The goodwill was primarily attributable to the expected synergies from the combined service offerings and the value of the acquired workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company’s estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent consideration were based on information that was available at the date of the acquisition. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments may be recorded to the fair value 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. In December 2022, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to reflect the facts and circumstances in existence at the acquisition date. The adjustment related to the valuation of the deferred tax liabilities for $0.9 million, with a corresponding increase in goodwill. There were no other significant changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation. The purchase price allocation of estimated fair values was finalized as of December 31, 2022.

The acquired technology intangible asset has an estimated useful life of seven years and is being amortized on a straight-line basis.

The fair value of the acquired technology intangible asset was determined by a valuation model based on estimates of future operating projections as well as judgments on the discount rate and other variables. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $1.2 million of transaction costs associated with the acquisition. The transaction costs are included in general and administrative expenses within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

FAIR VALUE measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

14


 

Private Warrants—As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's Private Warrants are recognized as liabilities and measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Private Warrants are valued using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs within the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions utilized under the Black-Scholes option pricing model require judgments and estimates. Changes in these inputs and assumptions could affect the measurement of the estimated fair value of the Private Warrants. Accordingly, the Private Warrants are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The valuation of the Private Warrants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

 

 

September 30,

The estimated fair value of each Private Warrant using the Company's stock price on the valuation date and above assumptions was $4.60 and $2.05 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Contingent Consideration Liability—The contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of Safekeep (see Note 3), recognized within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, is adjusted each reporting period for changes in fair value, which can result from changes in anticipated payments and changes in assumed discount rates. These inputs are unobservable in the market and therefore categorized as Level 3 inputs.

The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using probability-weighted discounted cash flows and a Monte Carlo simulation model. The discount rate, based on the Company's estimated cost of debt, was 10%.

As of December 31, 2022, the contingent consideration liability had a fair value of $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to the inputs used within the Monte Carlo simulation model and the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $0.1 million. The contingent consideration liability is classified within other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company did not recognize any change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Rate Cap—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 (see Note 14). 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company did not designate its interest rate cap agreements as hedging instruments and records the changes in fair value within earnings. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interest rate cap agreements had a fair value of $12.5 million and $12.0 million, respectively, classified within other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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.

During May 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets (see Note 11). The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to these assets during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments and fluctuates with changes in applicable interest rates among other factors. The fair value of long-term debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and is established based on observable inputs in less active markets.

INCOME TAXES

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") into law. The IRA contains several revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax and a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. While these tax law changes have no immediate effect on our results of operations and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations going forward, we will continue to evaluate its impact as further information becomes available.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was (9.4)% and 26.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the tax benefit received from a return to provision adjustment related to estimated research and development credits in the amount of $2.2 million.

The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 1.1% and 25.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for nine months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the effective tax rate for nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the tax benefits received related to share-based compensation expense in the amount of $3.9 million, the impairment of certain intangible assets in the amount of $1.3 million, and a return to provision adjustment related to estimated research and development credits in the amount of $2.2 million.

The Company made income tax payments of $7.4 million and $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company received negligible refunds from various states during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

The Company made income tax payments of $27.4 million and $55.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company received refunds from various states totaling $39 thousand and $50 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

16


 

As of September 30, 2023, unrecognized tax benefits were materially consistent with the amount as of December 31, 2022. The Company believes its liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will not significantly change over the following twelve months.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and intangible assets are primarily the result of business acquisitions.

Goodwill—During May 2023, we evaluated goodwill for impairment, due to the events described below, which indicated that the carrying amount of the China reporting unit was in excess of its estimated fair value.

The Company's China reporting unit experienced adverse impacts as a result of changes in market conditions and increases in interest rates, which contributed to reduced forecasted revenues and reduced projected future cash flows.

As a result of these adverse impacts, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of its China reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. When performing the assessment, the Company determined the fair value of its China reporting unit based on forecasted future cash flows. Based on the Company's forecast of the future cash flows of its China reporting unit, it was determined the carrying value of goodwill for its China reporting unit was impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2023. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $77.4 million.

No goodwill impairments were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Company used a quantitative approach to measure the fair value of its China reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach, which is a Level 3 measurement. The discounted cash flow analysis requires significant judgments, including estimates of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. The weighted average cost of capital used for the China reporting unit in the Company’s analysis was 12.5%.

LONG-TERM 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").

The proceeds of the 2021 Credit Agreement and cash on hand were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Company's previous credit agreement.

The 2021 Credit Agreement consists of an $800.0 million term loan ("Term B 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 B Loan, the "2021 Credit Facilities"). The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility has a sublimit of $75.0 million for letters of credit. The Company received proceeds of $798.0 million, net of debt discount of $2.0 million, related to the Term B Loan. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unamortized debt discount was $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The Company incurred $9.8 million in financing costs related to the Term B Loan. These costs were recorded to a contra debt account and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term B Loan using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unamortized financing costs were $7.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

20


 

The Company incurred $3.1 million in financing costs related to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. 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. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the deferred financing fees asset balance was $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

The Term B Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $2.0 million until June 30, 2028, with the remaining outstanding principal amount required to be paid on the maturity date, September 21, 2028. Beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, if the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, is greater than 3.5, the Term B Loan requires a principal prepayment, 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 December 31, 2022, 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 principal prepayment.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount outstanding on the Term B Loan is $786.0 million and $792.0 million, respectively, of which $8.0 million is classified as current in the accompanying condensed 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.

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") to establish SOFR as the benchmark rate for determining the applicable interest rate, replacing LIBOR. No other terms, including the amount of borrowings, required payments or maturity date, were changed as a result of the Amendment. The Company did not incur significant costs associated with the Amendment.

Subsequent to the execution of the Amendment, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans is based on a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the sum of an applicable rate and term SOFR (other than with respect to Euros, Euribor and with respect to British Pounds Sterling, 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).

Prior to the execution of the 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, at the Company’s election from time to time, either:

(1)
a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the "prime rate," (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% and (d) with respect to the Term B Loan, 1.50% and with respect to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, 1.00%, or
(2)
a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR (other than with respect to Euros, Euribor and with respect to British Pounds Sterling, 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. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility matures on September 21, 2026.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan was 7.7% and 4.6%, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan was 7.3% and 3.6%, respectively.

The Company has an outstanding standby letter of credit for $0.7 million which reduces the amount available to be borrowed under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $249.3 million was available to be borrowed.

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, 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 September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Interest Rate Cap—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 aggregate notional value of the interest rate cap agreements is $600.0 million with a cap rate of 4.0% and an expiration date of July 31, 2025.

During May 2023, the Company transitioned the referenced interest rate within the two interest rate cap agreements from LIBOR to SOFR by terminating the original agreements and simultaneously entering into new agreements. The terms of the new agreements were unchanged except for the referenced interest rate. The Company elected the optional expedients available within ASC 848 to allow for this transition without any modification to the derivative classification of the interest rate cap agreements.

Cash received related to the interest rate cap agreements was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cash received related to the interest rate cap agreements was $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate fair value of the interest rate cap agreements was $12.5 million and $12.0 million, respectively (see Note 5).

Capital stock

Preferred Stock—The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one (1) vote for each share of common stock held of record by such holder on all matters voted upon by the stockholders, subject to the restrictions set out in the Company's certificate of incorporation. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors. Upon a liquidation event, subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock issued and outstanding at such time, any distribution shall be made on a pro rata basis to the common stockholders.

There were 634,633,179 and 622,072,905 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

16.
REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

On March 12, 2020 (the "Close Date"), the Company closed a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with a third-party investor (the "Investor") for purchase by the Investor of Series A Preferred Stock in CCCIS Cayman Holdings Limited ("CCC Cayman"), the parent of the Company’s China operations. On the Close Date, CCC Cayman, a subsidiary of the Company, issued 1,818 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") at $7,854 per share to the Investor for net proceeds of $14.2 million. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, on an as-converted basis, the Preferred Shares represent an aggregate 10.0% ownership interest of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CCC Cayman, or 8.6% on a fully-diluted basis.

The Preferred Shares are redeemable upon an actual or deemed redemption event as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement or at the option of the Investor beginning on the five-year anniversary of the Close Date, if an actual or deemed redemption event has not yet occurred. The redemption price, as defined by the Stock Purchase Agreement, is equal to the original issue price of the Preferred Shares, plus 10.0% compound interest per annum on the Preferred Share issue price, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares.

The Preferred Shares do not participate in net income or losses.

22


 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Investor’s ownership in CCC Cayman is classified in mezzanine equity as a redeemable non-controlling interest, because it is redeemable on an event that is not solely in the control of the Company.

During May 2023, the Company determined it was probable the non-controlling interest would become redeemable and began to accrete the non-controlling interest to its redemption value. Changes in the carrying value of the non-controlling interest are recorded as adjustments to additional paid-in capital.

WARRANTS

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company assumed publicly-traded warrants ("Public Warrants") and warrants sold in a private placement ("Private Warrants") issued by Dragoneer.

Public Warrants were only able to be exercised for a whole number of shares of the Company’s common stock. All Public Warrants had an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, beginning on August 29, 2021, and were to expire on July 30, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

In November 2021, the Company announced that it had elected to redeem all of the outstanding Public Warrants on December 29, 2021. Each Public Warrant not exercised by the exercise deadline was redeemed by the Company for $0.10. Concurrent with the redemption, the Public Warrants ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange and no Public Warrants remained outstanding.

The Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Private Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares of the Company’s common stock. Each Private Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. All warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, beginning on August 29, 2021, and will expire on July 30, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

24


 

There were no exercises or redemptions of the Private Warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 17,800,000 Private Warrants outstanding.

The Company recognized expense of $26.2 million and income of $0.3 million as a change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company recognized expense of $45.4 million and income of $23.5 million as a change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s warrant liability was $81.8 million and $36.4 million, respectively.

19.

20.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition and/or results of operations. 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.

22.
NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net (loss) income 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.

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 provider of innovative cloud, mobile, artificial intelligence ("AI"), telematics, hyperscale technologies and applications for the property and casualty ("P&C") insurance economy. Our SaaS platform connects trading partners, facilitates commerce, and supports mission-critical, AI-enabled digital workflows. Leveraging decades of deep domain experience, our industry-leading platform processes more than $100 billion in annual transaction value across this ecosystem, digitizing workflows and connecting more than 35,000 companies across the P&C insurance economy, including insurance carriers, collision repairers, parts suppliers, automotive manufacturers, financial institutions and others.

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. Direct Repair Programs connect auto insurers and collision repair shops to create business value for both parties, and require 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 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 smart, dynamic experiences for their own customers. Our software integrates seamlessly with both legacy and modern systems alike 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 over 29,000 repair facilities through our multi-tenant cloud platform. We believe our software is the architectural backbone of insurance DRP programs and is the primary driver of material revenue for our collision 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, automotive manufacturers, and financial institutions. 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 $1 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 Smart Suite of AI solutions increases automation across existing insurance and repair processes including vehicle damage detection, claim triage, repair estimating, and intelligent claims review. We deliver real-world AI with more than 100 U.S. auto insurers actively using AI-powered solutions in production environments. We have processed more than 14 million unique claims using CCC deep learning AI as of December 31, 2022, an increase of more than 50% over December 31, 2021.

One of the primary obstacles facing the P&C insurance economy is increasing complexity. Complexity in the P&C insurance economy is driven by technological advancements, Internet of Things ("IoT") data, new business models, supply chain disruption and changing consumer expectations. 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

28


 

ecosystem, and we believe we are well positioned to power the P&C insurance economy of the future with our data, network, and platform.

While our position in the P&C insurance economy is grounded in the automotive insurance sector, the largest insurance sector in the U.S. representing nearly half of Direct Written Premiums ("DWP"), we believe our integrations and cloud platform are capable of driving innovation across the entire P&C 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, our acquisition of Safekeep in February 2022 added subrogation solutions that can span insurance lines including automotive, property, and worker's compensation.

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 18 of the top 20 automotive insurance carriers in the U.S., based on DWP, and hundreds of regional carriers. We have more than 35,000 total customers, including over 29,000 automotive collision repair facilities (including repairers and other entities that estimate damaged vehicles), thousands of automotive dealers, 13 of the top 15 automotive manufacturers, based on new vehicle sales, and numerous other companies that participate in the P&C 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 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, 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

29


 

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 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, 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 $22.4 million to $221.1 million, or 11.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company's software subscription revenues accounted for $212.5 million and $191.2 million, or 96% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

The increase in revenue was primarily a result of 8% growth from existing customer upgrades and expanding solution offerings to these existing customers as well as 3% growth from new customers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues increased by $4.9 million to $58.0 million, or 9.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of Revenues, exclusive of amortization of acquired technologies

Cost of revenues, exclusive of amortization of acquired technologies, increased by $5.1 million to $51.5 million, or 11.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in depreciation expense related to additional investments in platform and customer solution enhancements, a $0.7 million increase in personnel-related costs, primarily from stock-based compensation, and a $0.5 million increase in third party fees and direct costs associated with our revenue growth.

Amortization of Acquired Technologies

Amortization of acquired technologies was $6.6 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $17.5 million to $163.1 million, or 12.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our gross profit margin was 73.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 73.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was due to increased software subscription revenues and economies of scale resulting from fixed cost arrangements, partially offset by the increase in depreciation expense related to additional investments in platform and customer solution enhancements.

Research and Development

Research and development expense increased by $3.3 million to $43.5 million, or 8.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in IT related costs and a $1.9 million increase in consulting and other professional service costs, partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in the amount of capitalized time on platform and customer solution enhancements.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expense increased by $4.8 million to $35.6 million, or 15.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in personnel-related costs, including $2.4 million of stock-based compensation, and sales incentives and a $0.2 million increase in travel costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased by $10.1 million to $49.5 million, or 25.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an $8.3 million increase in personnel-related costs, including a $6.9 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $0.9 million increase in IT related costs and a $0.8 million increase in legal and other professional service costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $17.9 million and $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $4.1 million to $14.6 million, or 39.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to higher variable interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Interest Income

Interest income was $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The interest income was due to interest earned on our cash and cash equivalent balances. We did not recognize any interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

We recognized expense of $0.4 million from a change in fair value of derivative instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to income of $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The change in fair value of derivative instruments during each period is related to the interest rate cap agreements entered into in August 2022 and driven by the proximity of the maturity date and changes in the forward yield curve during the period.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

We recognized expense of $26.2 million from a change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to income of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities during each period was primarily due to changes in the price of the Company's common stock during each respective period.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

Income tax provision was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to an income tax provision of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The income tax provision during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to the tax expense related to pre-tax ordinary income, partially offset by the tax benefits from discrete items related to share-based compensation expense, a return to provision adjustment related to estimated research and development credits, and the tax benefit associated with the re-measurement of the Company's deferred tax liability for changes in state tax rates.

Revenues

Revenues increased by $59.4 million to $637.8 million, or 10.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company's software subscription revenues accounted for $611.6 million and $556.5 million, or 96% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

The increase was primarily due to a $9.2 million increase in depreciation expense related to additional investments in platform and customer solution enhancements, a $5.0 million increase in personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, a $1.9 million increase in third party fees and direct costs associated with our revenue growth and a $1.7 million increase in IT related costs.

Impairment of acquired technologies was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to an impairment charge recognized as a result of lower forecasted earnings and cash flows for the Company’s China reporting unit. There was no impairment charge recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $40.5 million to $463.5 million, or 9.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our gross profit margin was 72.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 73.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in gross profit was due to increased software subscription revenues and economies of scale resulting from fixed cost arrangements, partially offset by the increase in depreciation expense related to additional investments in platform and customer solution enhancements.

Research and Development

Research and development expense increased by $13.2 million to $127.9 million, or 11.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an $8.3 million increase in consulting and other professional service costs, a $7.6 million increase in IT related costs and a $6.8 million increase in personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $9.4 million increase in the amount of capitalized time on platform and customer solution enhancements.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expense increased by $16.3 million to $105.1 million, or 18.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $54.0 million and $54.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We recorded impairment charges of goodwill and intangible assets of $77.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The impairment charges were the result of lower forecasted earnings and cash flows for the Company’s China reporting unit. There was no impairment charge recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $16.7 million to $42.5 million, or 64.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to higher variable interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Interest Income

Interest income was $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The interest income was due to interest earned on our cash and cash equivalent balances. We did not recognize any interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

We recognized income of $0.6 million and $6.0 million from a change in fair value of derivative instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in fair value of derivative instruments during each period is related to the interest rate cap agreements entered into in August 2022 and driven by the proximity of the maturity date and changes in the forward yield curve during the period.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

We recognized expense of $45.4 million from a change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to income of $23.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities during each period was primarily due to changes in the price of the Company's common stock during each respective period.

Income Tax Benefit (Provision)

Income tax benefit was $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to an income tax provision of $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The income tax benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to the tax benefits from discrete items related to share-based compensation expense, the impairment of certain intangible assets, a return to provision adjustment related to estimated research and development credits, and the tax benefit associated with the re-measurement of the Company's deferred tax liability for changes in state tax rates being greater than the tax expense related to pre-tax income.

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, 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 and impairment 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.

Adjusted Operating Income

We believe that Adjusted Operating Income, 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 Operating Income is defined as operating income (loss) adjusted for amortization, impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll tax, plaintiff litigation costs, M&A and integration costs, lease overlap costs for the incremental expenses associated with the Company’s new corporate headquarters prior to termination of its then existing headquarters’ lease, lease abandonment charges, Business Combination transaction costs and net income related to divestiture.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, is useful in evaluating our operational performance distinct and apart from financing costs, certain expenses and non-operational expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income adjusted for interest, taxes, amortization, depreciation, impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll tax, change in fair value of derivative instruments, plaintiff litigation costs, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, M&A and integration costs, lease overlap costs for the incremental expenses associated with the Company’s new corporate headquarters prior to termination of its then existing headquarters’ lease, lease abandonment charges, Business Combination transaction costs, net income related to divestiture and gain on sale of cost method investment. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations with cash flows from operations. The Company generated $163.1 million of cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $448.7 million, a working capital surplus of $465.2 million and an accumulated deficit totaling $824.3 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $786.0 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").

The proceeds of the 2021 Credit Agreement and cash on hand were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Company's previous credit agreement.

The 2021 Credit Agreement consists of an $800.0 million term loan ("Term B 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 B Loan, the "2021 Credit Facilities"). The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility has a sublimit of $75.0 million for letters of credit. The Company received proceeds of $798.0 million, net of debt discount of $2.0 million, related to the Term B Loan.

The Term B Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $2.0 million until June 30, 2028, with the remaining outstanding principal amount required to be paid on the maturity date, September 21, 2028. Beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, if the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement is greater than 3.5, the Term B Loan requires a principal prepayment, 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 December 31, 2022, 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 principal prepayment.

As of September 30, 2023, the amount outstanding on the Term B Loan was $786.0 million, of which, $8.0 million is classified as current.

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.

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the "Amendment Credit Agreement") to establish SOFR as the benchmark rate for determining the applicable interest rate, replacing LIBOR. No other terms, including the amount of borrowings, required payments or maturity date, were changed as a result of the Amendment.

Subsequent to the execution of the Amendment, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans is based on a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the sum of an applicable rate and term SOFR (other than with respect to Euros, Euribor and with respect to British Pounds Sterling, 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.

Prior to the execution of the 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, at the Company’s election from time to time, either:

(1)
a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the "prime rate," (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% and (d) with respect to the Term B Loan, 1.50% and with respect to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, 1.00%, or
(2)
a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR (other than with respect to Euros, Euribor and with respect to British Pounds Sterling, 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. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility matures on September 21, 2026.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan was 7.7% and 4.6%, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan was 7.3% and 3.6%, respectively.

The Company has an outstanding standby letter of credit for $0.7 million which reduces the amount available to be borrowed under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023, $249.3 million was available to be borrowed under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

42


 

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, 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 September 30, 2023.

Interest Rate Cap—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 aggregate notional value of the interest rate cap agreements is $600.0 million with a cap rate of 4.0% and an expiration date of July 31, 2025.

During May 2023, the Company transitioned the referenced interest rate within the two interest rate cap agreements from LIBOR to SOFR by terminating the original agreements and simultaneously entering into new agreements. The terms of the new agreements were unchanged except for the referenced interest rate.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $163.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities consists of net loss of $116.4 million, adjusted for $296.1 million of non-cash items, ($12.9) million for changes in working capital and ($3.7) million for the effect of changes in other operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash adjustments include stock-based compensation expense of $104.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $102.0 million, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $82.7 million, a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $45.4 million, deferred income tax benefits of ($40.8) million. The change in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable of $19.3 million due to timing of receipts of payments from customers, a decrease in accounts payable of $9.4 million due to timing of cash disbursements and a decrease in accrued expenses of $9.3 million due to timing of cash disbursements and employee incentive plan payments, partially offset by a change in income taxes of $12.2 million due to timing of payments, a decrease in other current assets of $6.7 million due to timing of payments for prepaid and other deferred costs and an increase in deferred revenue of $6.6 million due to timing of customer receipts and revenue recognition.

Net cash used in investing activities was $43.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net cash used in investing activities was due to capitalized internally developed software projects and purchases of software, equipment, and property.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $23.1 million of proceeds from stock option exercises and $4.8 million of proceeds from the issuance of stock under the employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $16.4 million of tax payments related to the net share settlement of employee equity awards and $6.0 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.

43


 

Except as described below, 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, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We perform an annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of November 30 each fiscal year, or whenever events occur or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is below its carrying value.

The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment. In estimating the fair value of a reporting unit for the purposes of our annual or periodic impairment analyses, we make estimates and significant judgments about the future cash flows of that reporting unit. Our cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that represent the highest and best use for our reporting units. Changes in judgment on these assumptions and estimates could result in goodwill impairment charges. We believe that the assumptions and estimates utilized are appropriate based on the information available to management.

We have two reporting units, Domestic and China, for purposes of analyzing goodwill. As a result of adverse macroeconomic impacts due to changes in market conditions and increases in interest rates, which contributed to downward revisions to future projected earnings and cash flows, we performed a quantitative goodwill test of our China reporting as of May 31, 2023. As a result of our quantitative impairment test, we determined the fair value of our China reporting was less than its carrying value and we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $77.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

We used a quantitative approach to measure the fair value of our China reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach, which is a Level 3 measurement. The discounted cash flow analysis requires significant judgments, including estimates of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. The weighted average cost of capital used for the China reporting unit in the Company’s analysis was 12.5%.

There was no impairment charge related to goodwill recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Intangible assets with finite lives and software, equipment and property are amortized or depreciated over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. We monitor conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization or depreciation period. We test these assets for potential impairment whenever our management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The original estimate of an asset’s useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset’s useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment regarding estimates of the future cash flows associated with each asset.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge to its China reporting unit's customer relationships and acquired technologies intangible assets. The Company's forecasted revenue and expense cash flow projections indicated the carrying amounts of the intangible assets were not recoverable and therefore the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

There was no impairment charge related to intangible assets recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
