CCC Intelligent Solutions closes $730M acquisition of EvolutionIQ

CCC Intelligent Solutions (NASDAQ: CCCS) completed its acquisition of EvolutionIQ on January 15, 2025 for approximately $730M, structured as roughly 60% cash and 40% CCC common stock, financed in part by a $225M incremental term loan. The deal was announced on December 20, 2024.

The transaction extends CCC — historically the dominant network for US auto physical-damage claims — into casualty and injury AI, where it has not previously had a first-party product. EvolutionIQ's claims-guidance platform covers long-term disability, workers' compensation indemnity, and auto bodily injury / casualty, with reported adoption across 7 of the top 15 US disability carriers (including Principal Financial Group, The Standard, Lincoln Financial, and Munich Re North America Life). Pre-acquisition, EvolutionIQ had raised ~$60M cumulatively and was valued above $200M at its February 2023 Series B extension. The $225M incremental term loan under CCC's existing credit agreement, disclosed alongside the announcement, funded the cash portion of the consideration. Post-close, EvolutionIQ operates as a CCC subsidiary — a structural shift that makes it the largest AI-native claims-guidance exit of the cycle and repositions the standalone disability sales motion inside a public-company auto-claims platform.
