Polen Capital made the following comment about CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CCCS) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CCCS) is a provider of cloud-based software solutions to the property & casualty insurance industry with a focus on the automotive insurance ecosystem. The company created the Direct Repair Program (DRP) more than 30 years ago, a network connecting auto insurers with collision repair shops. CCC’s large platform helps drive cost savings in the expensive and time-consuming processing workflow for insurance carriers while driving revenue growth for repair shops through lead generation, scheduling, parts availability/throughput, and quality of the repair. As a result of this scale, the company has benefitted from network effects. This, in turn, has contributed to strong customer retention (70% of revenue from customers with >10-year relationship) over time. We believe CCC is an attractive holding in part due to a uniquely narrower range of outcomes with a proven track record for durable growth.”
