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" [2].

LLC and PJT Partners are serving as financial advisors to Verisk, while Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is acting as legal advisor. William Blair and King & Spalding LLP are serving as financial and legal advisors to AccuLynx, respectively [2].

Verisk expects the acquisition to be additive to its revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin, and accretive to adjusted EPS by year-end 2026. The company anticipates that the integration of AccuLynx's platform will drive operational efficiency, improve information flow, and deliver cost and time savings for both insurance carriers and contractors [2].
