DENVER, CO – Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP) (OTCQX: ITMSF) (“Intermap” or the “Company”), a global leader in geospatial content development and intelligence solutions, today announced its cloud-based software is growing rapidly, providing solutions to optimize portfolios and reduce risk resulting from climate change.
Climate change is a key factor for insurers and financial services companies that cover high-event risk and complex property portfolios. Economic growth and urbanization are changing the shape of the industry worldwide. Intermap’s European flood software, called AquariusTM, is currently featured in Czech insurance magazine Insurance Horizon. Read the article here.
On a run-rate basis, from a standing start in 2019, Intermap’s European cloud-based software has grown to represent approximately 25% of Intermap’s total subscription revenue.
Intermap is expanding with Generali Group. Generali uses Intermap’s AquariusTM software to provide consistent underwriting for any location and grow its premium in more regions with consistency across all regions.
Intermap has doubled its financial services business with a multiyear agreement with MONETA Money Bank, a.s., a retail and small-to-medium enterprises bank in the Czech Republic. MONETA Money Bank entered a multiyear agreement in 2019 and recently doubled its flood risk utilization. The subscription provides access to Intermap’s data via integrated web services and supports the bank’s lending operations via a fintech partnership with Refinanso.cz. Driven by climate change, Intermap is growing software subscriptions in financial services and adding new functionality to its targeted solution suite.
In the U.S., Intermap continues to build a robust stream of revenue from new insurance software subscriptions and renewals. Since Q2 2021, leading American underwriters Superior Flood Services and Sterling Underwriting have both renewed and upgraded their subscriptions to InsitePro® with higher utilization rates. In 2021 year-to-date, InsitePro MRR has grown 38% and is expected to replicate the same growth in 2022, with a continuing strong pipeline as the U.S. flood insurance market expands towards a larger market share for traditional insurance.
“Intermap’s state-of-the-art elevation data, analytics, and software are guiding industry towards more sustainable, flexible and responsive geospatial solutions,” said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. “Climate change is rapidly affecting the environment and making it challenging for insurance and financial companies to evaluate property risk, manage their portfolio exposures, grow premium and mitigate potential losses. These companies are turning to InsitePro® and AquariusTM as their trusted tools to combine geospatial data and analytics into useful geo-intelligence.”
