Executive summary

Across five listed insurance software companies, only one resolves to a usable EV / Revenue reading on CY2025A, at 0.5x, leaving the public market as a thin reference point. The transaction record runs deeper: six recorded deals, the largest at $5.3B, span claims analytics, underwriting content and distribution software. Buyers in this tape are associated with regulatory content, claims decisioning and modules that complete the policy, billing and claims spine, pointing owners toward revenue mix and migration position as the levers they can control.

Key findings

  • Two groups hold 40% each of the listed insurance software field
  • Only one of five listed names resolves to a usable EV/Revenue reading, at 0.5x
  • The transaction record runs deeper than the listed one, led by a $5.3B deal
  • Buyers are targeting claims decisioning, content and distribution reach

    What This Report Covers

    This slide lists the five numbered sections and appendix that make up the report.

    We lay out the report's structure here: the bottom line first, then the companies, valuation and situations, the deal tape, and strategic implications. We put the bottom line first by design, so a reader who stops after section one still leaves with the full story. That structure lets us move from conclusion to evidence, not the other way around.

    01 · THE BOTTOM LINE

    Private Buyers Set the Price for Underwriting Workbenches and Carrier Core Systems; The Listed Tape Is Thin

    This slide presents the bottom line: private buyers set the price for underwriting workbenches and carrier core systems, and the listed tape is thin.

    We start with the conclusion: across five listed insurance software companies, only one resolves to a usable EV / Revenue reading on CY2025A, at 0.5x. That leaves the transaction record, not the public market, carrying the pricing signal for underwriting workbenches and carrier core systems. So the evidence a client needs sits in the deal tape and the segment groupings that follow.

Insurance Software Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 3 1 Two Groups Hold Most of the Listed Field Underwriting workbenches and rating engines, and core system implementation and managed services for carriers, hold 40% of the listed set each. Configuration, migration and post-go-live support holds the remaining 20%, a single name. 2 One Name in Five Carries a Computable Reading, at 0.5x Across the five listed names, a single company resolves to a usable EV / Revenue reading on CY2025A, and it sits at 0.5x. One reading is a reference point rather than a market benchmark, so pricing evidence has to come from the transaction record. 3 The Transaction Record Runs Deeper than the Listed One Six transactions sit in the tape, the largest of them at $5.3B in disclosed value, spanning claims analytics, underwriting content and distribution software. None carries a recomputable revenue multiple, so the tape evidences appetite and ticket size rather than a price. 4 What Buyers Reach for Is Content and System-of-Record Position The targets in this tape cluster around regulatory content, claims decisioning and modules that complete the policy, billing and claims spine. That profile is associated with contractual renewal and switching costs anchored in statutory reporting, which is what a buyer underwrites here. 0.5x Sector median EV/Revenue CY2025A consensus · 1 rated of 5 companies 6 Recorded transactions in this tier told as case studies in the deal section; the full tape is in the appendix

    This divider introduces section two, covering the five listed companies and their groupings.

    Four of the five listed names sit in underwriting tooling and carrier core delivery, split across three groups. We use this page to reset before walking through who they are and how they cluster. So what follows is a map of the listed field itself.

    02 · THE COMPANIES

    Three Groups, Two of Them Tied for the Largest Share of the Listed Field

    This slide groups the five approved listed companies into three segments.

    We split the five listed names into three groups: underwriting workbenches and rating engines, core system delivery, and configuration and migration support. Two of those groups tie for the largest share, at 40% each, while configuration and migration support holds the remaining 20%. So the listed field is narrow, but it is not uniform, and where a company sits in this map matters for how buyers value it.

    SECTION 03

    03

    This divider introduces section three, covering public market valuation, drivers, situations and the owner agenda.

    One computable reading marks the discount end of this cohort, and nothing marks the premium end. EV / Revenue on CY2025A is our lead convention, and it resolves for a single name in the set. So the pages ahead show what that one reading tells us, and where it stops telling us anything.

    03 · PUBLIC MARKET VALUATION

    The Listed Tape Gives One Price Point, and It Sits at the Discount End

    This slide shows the single computable EV / Revenue reading against the cohort, with other names marked not available.

    The listed tape gives us one price point on EV / Revenue for CY2025A, and it sits at the discount end of the range, at 0.5x. Every approved company is shown, but names without an eligible multiple are marked n/a rather than estimated. That single reading is a data point, not a market, so it cannot carry the pricing conversation on its own.

    03 · VALUATION DRIVERS

    What Buyers Are Paying up for in Insurance Software

    This slide sets out the valuation drivers framework for insurance software, noting the rated names lack the estimates needed to split the cohort.

    We look at what buyers are paying up for in insurance software, using EV / Revenue on CY2025A as the basis. In this cohort, the rated names don't carry the additional estimates needed to split the group into faster- and slower-growing peers. So the driver read here stays qualitative, grounded in the segment and deal evidence rather than a populated multiple split.

    Everything on this page

    03 · VALUATION DRIVERS What Buyers Are Paying up for in Insurance Software EV / Revenue (CY2025A) · as of 2026-09-15 Source: NeuraCap analytics platform; market data and consensus estimates as of 2026-09-15; company disclosures via SEC EDGAR where linked. Cohort medians on rated names with the required estimates (faster n=0; slower n=0). Driver readings are NeuraCap views on the supplied data — association, not causation. Insurance Software Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 8 Suite Completion Beats the Point Tool Both Guidewire Software, Inc. (GWRE) transactions in this tape acquired capability that slots into the core spine rather than standing beside it. The pattern suggests buyers pay for the module that turns a point relationship into a suite relationship with the same carrier. Migration Position Separates Two Valuation Regimes An installed base that has already absorbed the move to cloud subscription looks different to one still carrying it, even at the same revenue. Cohort progress and the migration commitment of legacy accounts are what quality-of-revenue diligence tests first. Regulatory Content Is a Product, Not a Build State-by-state rate and form filing obligations make maintained content a recurring deliverable with a renewal attached. Vendors whose content sits inside the carrier's statutory reporting path hold a position that is associated with longer terms and contracted uplift. Data Exhaust Is Bought Separately from Workflow Analytics franchises buy for content and for the transaction flow that feeds their models, and they will pay for the data rights rather than the software wrapped around them. Owners with proprietary claims or policy flow should know which of the two a buyer pool is actually valuing.

    03 · SITUATION MAP

    How to Read the Four Situations Once Margin Coverage Exists

    This slide maps situations by EV / Revenue against the sector median and EBITDA margin against the covered median.

    We cut the field on EV / Revenue against the sector median of 0.5x and on EBITDA margin against the covered median, though one rated name lacks the second measure and isn't mapped. This produces four situations rather than four recommendations, characterising where a company sits rather than what to do about it. So the map is a starting point for the owner's own diagnosis, not a verdict.

    03 · THE AGENDA

    Four Questions an Owner in This Sector Should Resolve First

    This slide poses four questions an owner or acquirer in this sector should resolve first.

    We frame four questions any owner or acquirer in this sector should answer first, grounded in the cohort data shown earlier. These are observations, not recommendations, and they set up the operating levers we return to in the strategic implications section. So the agenda turns the valuation evidence into a checklist a board can actually work through.

All content on this page is Directional — NeuraCap advisory judgment grounded in the cohort data shown earlier. It does not constitute investment advice. Insurance Software Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 10 Decide Which Lens Your Revenue Mix Invites Subscription-weighted platforms are underwritten on recurring revenue; services-weighted businesses are underwritten on cash earnings. The split between subscription, perpetual licence, maintenance and implementation services is an operating choice that decides which conversation a buyer opens with. What changes the answer: A sustained move in the services-to-product revenue ratio across two renewal cycles. Own the Migration Position Rather than Carry It An installed base still on perpetual licence with no migration commitment is the detractor buyers price hardest in this sector. Converting cohorts, and contracting the commitment as part of renewal, changes the quality of the revenue base rather than its size. What changes the answer: Cloud migration cohort progress and the share of the base under a committed migration path. Make Regulatory Content a Renewing Obligation Forms, rules and rates maintenance sits inside the carrier's statutory reporting path, which is where switching costs are structural rather than habitual. Pricing that content as a recurring deliverable with contracted uplift is associated with longer terms and firmer renewals. What changes the answer: Renewal term length and contracted uplift on content-linked modules. Know Which Buyer Pool Your Asset Speaks To Vertical platforms want the module that completes the policy, billing and claims spine; data franchises want transaction flow and data rights; sponsors want recurring revenue and switching costs. Those pools value different assets inside the same company, and product and pricing choices decide which one is listening. What changes the answer: Which of your modules a carrier buyer would consume first without a new procurement cycle.

    This divider introduces section four, covering the deal tape across six recorded transactions.

    Buyers here are shopping for claims decisioning, underwriting content and distribution reach, across six recorded transactions. We price these as recorded in the filings, not as disclosed multiples. So the pages ahead read the deal record for pricing signal, not the listed market.

    04 · DEAL CASE STUDIES

    Six Transactions Show Who Is Buying and at What Ticket Size

    This slide walks through three of the six recorded transactions as case studies, with the complete tape in the appendix.

    We walk through three of the six recorded transactions in detail, with multiples on LTM financials at announcement where disclosed. Several tape records carry data-quality flags, so figures are shown as recorded in the filing rather than adjusted. These deal multiples sit on a different basis than the CY2025A public reading, so we don't claim a spread between them; the largest disclosed transaction in the tape reached $5.3B. So the case studies show buyer intent and ticket size, which is the evidence this sector actually offers.

Deal multiples are LTM at announcement (Definitive, from filings); they are not directly comparable to the CY2025A public basis and no spread is claimed. "Why the deal happened" is a NeuraCap read of the recorded evidence. Insurance Software Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 12 Apr-2025 $57M Sapiens International Corporation N.V. Sapiens buys AdvantageGo: specialty underwriting capability, added at tuck-in size EV / LTM revenue n/a EV / LTM EBITDA n/a WHY THE DEAL HAPPENED The transaction suggests a platform buyer adding specialty and commercial underwriting capability to an existing carrier footprint rather than buying scale. Announced in Apr-2025 and recorded as announced status, it reads as capability acquisition alongside a second deal in the same month. HOW THE TARGET WAS VALUED Disclosed value is $57M as recorded in the filing, with no revenue or earnings multiple disclosed or recomputable. It benchmarks as the second-smallest ticket in this six-deal tape, so it evidences appetite and size rather than a price level for the sector. Apr-2025 $22M Sapiens International Corporation Sapiens adds Candela in the same month, extending a programmatic buying pattern EV / LTM revenue n/a EV / LTM EBITDA n/a WHY THE DEAL HAPPENED Two announced acquisitions inside Apr-2025 by the same buyer group suggest a deliberate programme of adding adjacent capability around a shared carrier customer. The structure is consistent with buy-and-build behaviour rather than a one-off strategic move. HOW THE TARGET WAS VALUED Disclosed value is $22M as recorded in the filing, with no multiple disclosed or recomputable. It is the smallest ticket in this tape and sets the floor of the observable range rather than a benchmark multiple. Dec-2024 $428M CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. CCC closes EvolutionIQ: claims decisioning bought by a claims network at scale EV / LTM revenue n/a EV / LTM EBITDA n/a WHY THE DEAL HAPPENED A buyer already carrying claims transaction flow acquiring an AI claims decisioning target suggests the logic is data and workflow adjacency inside the claims path. It is recorded as closed rather than announced, so the transaction has cleared conditions and integration risk is the live question. HOW THE TARGET WAS VALUED Disclosed value is $428M as recorded in the filing, with no revenue or earnings multiple disclosed or recomputable. Against this tape it is the largest ticket other than the distribution software transaction, which marks how buyers size claims decisioning relative to core administration assets.

    SECTION 05

    05

    This divider introduces section five, on strategic implications when there is no public benchmark to set the price.

    With no public benchmark, what an owner can move is revenue mix and migration position. This section turns the evidence into operating levers for owners, acquirers and boards. So the argument shifts here from what the market shows to what a company can control.

    05 · STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS

    What the Evidence Means for Owners, Acquirers and Boards

    This slide sets out what the evidence means for owners, acquirers and boards over the next twelve months.

    For owners, revenue quality — the mix of subscription, services and renewal terms — is the lever the public tape cannot give them. For acquirers, ticket sizes in this tape cluster small, so underwriting the same pattern means paying for suite completion and data rights. For boards, segment position — where a business sits between underwriting tooling, core delivery and migration support — is associated with the lens buyers apply. So these are the questions this data puts on the table for the next twelve months.

This page is Directional — NeuraCap views drawn from the analysis in this report. Observations, not recommendations. Insurance Software Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 14 FOR OWNERS Revenue Quality Is the Lever the Public Tape Cannot Give You With one computable listed reading in a five-name field, no public benchmark will set your price. The operating levers that move it are mix between subscription and services, renewal terms with contracted uplift, and how much customer-funded customisation the codebase carries. FOR ACQUIRERS Ticket Sizes in This Tape Cluster Small, with Occasional Scale Four of the six transactions here are capability additions rather than platform purchases, and the buyers repeat. Underwriting the same pattern means paying for suite completion and data rights, and testing go-live risk and tier-one account concentration before earnings base. FOR BOARDS Segment Position Is the Clearest Value Signal Available Here Where a business sits between underwriting tooling, core delivery and migration support is associated with the lens buyers apply and the pool that shows up. Capital allocation and build-versus-buy decisions inside those groups matter more to standing than any single reading on the listed tape.

    Sources, Assumptions and Data Quality

    This slide explains the report's sources, assumptions and data-quality treatment.

    We set out here how this report was built: the valuation basis, what was excluded, and where every underlying disclosure lives. This is the page to check before citing any figure from the body of the report externally. So it is the reference a client's own team can use to reproduce or challenge our reading.

    06 · METHODOLOGY Sources, Assumptions and Data Quality How this report was built, what was excluded, and where every underlying disclosure lives · as of 2026-09-15 Typeface note: NeuraCap brand face is Kallisto Medium; this build renders in a standard sans (Arial) and should be reviewed in the brand face before external distribution. Insurance Software Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential 18 VALUATION BASIS Primary valuation basis: EV / Revenue on CY2025A actuals (1 of 5 companies eligible; multiples failing the platform's plausibility gates are excluded, never plotted). EV / Revenue on CY2025A is the lead convention: it is the sector-appropriate prior for Insurance Software and it clears the coverage gate with 5 of 5 companies (100%). No secondary cross-check clears its own gate. DATA QUALITY & EXCLUSIONS 1 records were excluded or quarantined by the platform's validation gates (unit errors, implausible ratios, ineligible securities and classification failures); the full ledger ships in the companion tables and never feeds a statistic in this report. DEFINITIVE VS DIRECTIONAL Definitive content is disclosed or consensus data passed through stated arithmetic. Directional content — tier boundaries, situation cuts, "why it matters" commentary, the agenda pages — is NeuraCap analyst judgment and is labeled as such where it appears. WHAT THIS REPORT IS NOT This report characterises a sector. It does not recommend buying, selling or holding any security, and no statement in it should be read as investment advice or a price target. WHERE THE DATA LIVES 249 registered source documents stand behind the figures in this report. Metric hyperlinks throughout the deck open the specific filing or data record; by publisher: sec.gov (248) · home.treasury.gov (1). The companion workbook beside this deck carries the complete source index.

    Private Deals Carry the Pricing Signal; The Listed Tape Offers One Reference Point.

    This is the closing slide, restating that private deals carry the pricing signal while the listed tape offers one reference point.

    Private deals carry the pricing signal in this sector; the listed tape offers one reference point. The companion tables carry the full universe, the exclusion ledger and the complete source index for any figure a client wants to trace. So the takeaway is simple: read the transaction record first, and treat the public multiple as context.

Sources and methodology

This report covers Insurance Software (Information Technology › Software and Services › Insurance Software) with market data and consensus estimates as of September 15, 2026. The company universe is the 5 listed companies whose core business is Insurance Software according to NeuraCap's industry classification of each company's reported business segments (a company is included only when this industry is central to what it does, not merely adjacent to it). Companies in the set: CCC, EXLS, FORTY, GWRE, VRSK. The market map groups them by business vertical — Underwriting workbench and rating engines: 2 companies (CCC, GWRE); Core system implementation and managed services for carriers: 2 companies (FORTY, EXLS); Configuration, migration and post-go-live support: 1 company (VRSK). 1 of the 5 companies carry a valid multiple on the primary valuation basis and form the rated set behind every cohort statistic; the others are shown but do not enter the statistics.

Companies in the set: CCC, EXLS, FORTY, GWRE, VRSK. The market map groups them by business vertical — Underwriting workbench and rating engines: 2 companies (CCC, GWRE); Core system implementation and managed services for carriers: 2 companies (FORTY, EXLS); Configuration, migration and post-go-live support: 1 company (VRSK). 1 of the 5 companies carry a valid multiple on the primary valuation basis and form the rated set behind every cohort statistic; the others are shown but do not enter the statistics.

What was excluded and why

1 record failed a validation gate and never feed a statistic in this report (1 excluded from aggregate). Each exclusion, with its reason: CCC — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate)

Primary valuation basis and how it was chosen

Primary valuation basis: EV / Revenue on CY2025A actuals (1 of 5 companies eligible; multiples failing the platform's plausibility gates are excluded, never plotted). EV / Revenue on CY2025A is the lead convention: it is the sector-appropriate prior for Insurance Software and it clears the coverage gate with 5 of 5 companies (100%). No secondary cross-check clears its own gate. The basis is selected in two steps: the industry's customary valuation conventions set the order of preference, and each convention is then tested for coverage — the share of companies with a valid, plausibility-checked multiple on the chosen period. A convention is used only when enough companies carry it; the best-covered convention is used, and disclosed, when none clears the threshold. Coverage measured for this report — EV / EBITDA: 1 of 5 companies; EV / rEVenue: 5 of 5 companies; P/E: 0 of 5 companies. Forward coverage was insufficient on the preferred basis; the cohort is presented on CY2025A.

How the multiples and statistics are computed

Enterprise value (EV) is market capitalisation at the as-of date plus total debt minus cash and equivalents from the latest reported balance sheet, reconciled against the platform's stored value and disclosed where the two differ. Forward multiples divide EV (or the share price for P/E) by the consensus estimate for the stated calendar period; trailing multiples use the last twelve months of reported figures from SEC filings. A multiple with a negative or immaterial denominator is treated as not meaningful and excluded from every statistic. Cohort statistics are medians and quartiles over the rated set only; a group median with fewer than three observations is shown as the single company's figure and labelled as such. Valuation tiers cut the rated set at its quartiles (tiers cut at the rated set's quartiles: Premium ≥0.5x, Core 0.5x–0.5x, Discount <0.5x — NeuraCap groupings). Revenue growth compares consecutive calendar-year consensus revenue; EBITDA margin divides consensus EBITDA by consensus revenue for the same period. Figures shown in this report and the calculation behind each: 0.5x = median(ev_revenue CY2025A) (1 rated companies) · 0.5x = median(ev_revenue CY2025A) within Discount tier (n=1)

Precedent transactions: what is on the tape and why

The precedent tape holds the M&A transactions in Insurance Software recorded from SEC filings (8-K announcements and the documents they reference), newest first, with each value and multiple linked to the exact passage in the filing that states it. 15 transactions were recorded for this industry; 6 are shown. 9 recorded transactions with neither a disclosed value nor a multiple are omitted because they say nothing about price; they remain in the companion workbook. Deal multiples are enterprise value over the target's last-twelve-month revenue or EBITDA at announcement, as disclosed; they are not restated to the public basis and no spread to the public multiples is claimed. Before a transaction reaches the tape it passes a screen for mirrored or duplicate filings of the same deal, for divestitures where the filer is the seller rather than the buyer, for carve-outs recorded under the parent's name, and for values whose citation describes something other than the price paid (a debt raise, a termination fee); such records are corrected or excluded and the correction is noted. Data-quality notes on this tape: 8 × deal value unit unresolved; 2 × duplicate filings collapsed; 7 × financial target ev not meaningful. Case studies lead with the 3 richest stories — disclosed value, a readable multiple, newest first.

Sources

Company financials and transaction terms come from the companies' own SEC filings on EDGAR (10-K, 10-Q and 8-K documents), linked from each figure in the report. Forward figures are analyst consensus estimates for the calendar periods shown. Share prices and market capitalisations are market data as of September 15, 2026. Treasury yields are published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 252 source documents stand behind this report; by publisher domain: sec.gov, home.treasury.gov (1). Every figure on every page is traceable to one of these records; nothing in the report is derived from outside data.
