“During the second quarter, we saw accelerating organic subscription revenue growth. We also saw strong trends in transaction revenue independent of healthy car sales and credit trends, as we increased average transaction price per car sold through growing adoption and cross selling of registration, titling and lien services. We are optimistic that these positive trends will continue through the end of the year, as reflected in the increase of our full year guidance, and believe they position us for sustainable growth in the years ahead."
