Verisk, a leading data analytics and technology provider to the insurance and energy industries, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire AccuLynx, a SaaS platform offering end-to-end business management workflows for residential property contractors specializing in roofing. The acquisition, valued at $2.35 billion in cash, is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2025 [1].

The acquisition aims to augment Verisk’s network capabilities across the insurance claims and restoration ecosystem, enhancing its revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin. It is also expected to be accretive to adjusted EPS by year-end 2026. The transaction will be funded through fully committed debt financing and cash on hand, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval [1].

AccuLynx’s platform is highly complementary to Verisk’s Property Estimating Solutions, which specializes in property insurance, remodelling, and restoration for the global insurance industry. The acquisition will provide Verisk with access to AccuLynx’s roofing materials and labor datasets, further augmenting analytics and benchmarking for insurers and contractors [1].

The integration of AccuLynx’s platform into Verisk’s ecosystem is expected to streamline workflows and enhance interactions between participants in the network, benefiting insurers, contractors, and policyholders alike. AccuLynx’s platform addresses each critical stage of roofing contractors’ workflow, with many of its customers performing insurance-driven repairs and restoration [1].

Verisk’s CEO, Lee Shavel, commented, “AccuLynx is a natural fit and extension of the solutions we provide insurance carriers, adjustors, and contractors through our Property Estimating Solutions business. Together, we have an incredible opportunity to enhance the network effect of these businesses and create significant value for all parties in the insurance claims and restoration ecosystem, from insurers to contractors and policyholders” [1].

The acquisition of AccuLynx is expected to create opportunities for cross-selling, upselling, and expanded data augmentation across complementary client bases with a high degree of overlap. Verisk’s financial advisors, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and PJT Partners, are involved in the transaction, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA acting as the lead arranger on bridge financing [1].

Verisk’s Q2 2025 earnings call highlighted the positive impact of the AccuLynx acquisition on the company’s revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2025. The company raised its revenue outlook to a range of $3.09 billion to $3.13 billion, inclusive of $40 million to $50 million from acquisitions. The adjusted EBITDA outlook was also increased to a range of $1.7 billion to $1.74 billion [2].

The acquisition of AccuLynx is expected to strengthen Verisk's position in the insurance industry by enhancing its capabilities in the insurance claims and restoration ecosystem. The company is well-positioned to leverage the synergies between AccuLynx and its existing solutions to drive growth and improve operational efficiency [1].
