• | Underwriting & rating revenues increased 9.9% in the quarter and 8.2% on an OCC basis, resulting primarily from increases in our industry-standard insurance programs, property-specific underwriting solutions, and catastrophe modeling solutions. |
• | Claims revenue grew 2.8% in the quarter and declined 1.0% on an OCC basis. Both reported and OCC growth were negatively impacted by the injunction ruling against roof measurement solutions as well as tougher comparisons from the prior-year period. Growth was primarily driven by claims analytics, workers’ compensation claim solution services, and repair cost estimating solutions. |
