Intermap’s InsitePro Clients Post Excellent Underwriting Results After Tropical Storm Hilary
14 September 2023 - 9:30PM
Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP; OTCQB: ITMSF) (“Intermap” or the
“Company”), a global leader in 3D geospatial products and
intelligence solutions, today announced that its U.S. insurance
solution, InsitePro®, empowered customers to report excellent
underwriting results after Tropical Storm Hilary.
Major storm events are the testing ground for underwriting
solutions, and like with Ian and Harvey, InsitePro delivered
excellent results through Tropical Storm Hilary, the first such
storm to hit California in over 80 years. Hilary dropped a year’s
worth of rain on Southern California in three days, but InsitePro’s
robust risk selection delivered low claims totals, with some large
California underwriter customers reporting no claims at all. These
results demonstrate the importance of incorporating advances in
technology and staying up to date with climate change. The private
flood market is growing rapidly. Less than 20% of properties in the
U.S. are covered by flood insurance, representing an enormous
opportunity for insurers to grow the premium they underwrite.
“InsitePro is helping insurers, including two of the nation’s
top 10 property insurers, underwrite flood insurance profitably,”
said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. “InsitePro has
proven again that flood can be underwritten effectively and
profitably anywhere in the country, including California.”
One of Intermap’s clients, Sterling Surplus Underwriting,
recently renewed and doubled its subscription to InsitePro due to
very high usage and accurate risk analysis outcomes. Many U.S.
clients are seeing very few insurance claims from recent storms as
a result of using InsitePro for risk selection and underwriting.
“Intermap has been a trusted partner for years,” said C. Brad
Moncrief, Owner of Sterling Surplus Underwriters. “The accuracy and
speed of their data delivery allows Sterling to make confident
underwriting and pricing decisions, which has led to fewer claims
and profitable business.”
Another longtime client, Superior Flood, is one of the oldest
private flood insurance companies in the country, in business since
2000 and serving tens of thousands of clients throughout the U.S.,
including Hawaii. “We have been refining our underwriting
guidelines using Intermap’s technological advances by detecting and
eliminating high-risk properties in areas exposed to catastrophic
weather events,” said Matt Herr, Owner of Superior Flood. “This has
proven to be a major win for Superior Flood and all of our Lloyd’s
of London Syndicates. We are proud to announce that we have not had
any claims due to Hilary, we had zero claims for Nicole and under
20 claims for Ian. We at Superior Flood send our sincere thoughts
and prayers to those who were affected by any major storm. It’s
devastating to lose a home and personal belongings in such a
traumatic way.”
InsitePro is a Software as a Service package that delivers
property-specific underwriting analytics for flood insurance
anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. InsitePro leverages Intermap’s
proprietary datasets and algorithms to measure flood risk more
accurately than other solutions. InsitePro insurance software and
analytics posted 12% growth of monthly recurring revenue (MRR)
through the first half of 2023. The growth was underpinned by six
long-term clients increasing their annual subscription value by up
to 100% over the previous year. Retention of revenue remains robust
with an annual net retention (ANR) rate of 96% as of June 30,
2023.
