Thank you, Bill, and thanks to all of you for joining us today. I'm pleased to report a solid start to 2025. CCC delivered another quarter of strong top and bottom-line results reflecting the predictability and profitability of our business. In the first quarter of 2025, CCC's total revenue was $252 million, growing 11% year over year, exceeding our guidance range and crossing the $1 billion revenue run rate threshold for the first time. Adjusted EBITDA was $99 million, also ahead of our guidance range, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 39%. On today's call, I would like to cover three things. The first is how we help our clients manage complexity in an increasingly uncertain world.
The second is how our clients are increasingly committing to CCC as their core long-term innovation platform. Third, the continued progress and proof points in adoption of our newer solutions. In terms of my first topic, you heard me speak on prior calls about the many operational challenges that rising complexity poses for our customers. There are numerous examples of this, including growing vehicle complexity, labor and skill shortages, medical cost inflation, natural disasters, changing regulations, and more. Fundamentally, our solutions help our customers navigate these complexities so they can efficiently operate and grow their businesses and provide a seamless consumer experience.
We do this by leveraging real-time hyperlocal data, a highly interconnected ecosystem, and deeply integrated AI-powered workflows powering our customers' operations. We also maintain an intense focus on customer engagement so we can advise our customers on the latest trends. A good illustration of this is the current macroeconomic environment. For example, while each customer is unique, they all share a common challenge in navigating the increased complexity arising from heightened volatility and uncertainty in vehicle and parts pricing and availability. Our recent client meetings show that there's an even greater intensity with which they are seeking tools, data, and insights to help them effectively manage these rapidly changing variables that impact their near and long-term decisions and operations.
We believe CCC is uniquely able to deliver this support. That starts by providing visibility to real-time hyperlocal data on fluctuating prices, parts availability, used vehicle values, and many other decision inputs across the entire country and even down to a single claim. Using that intelligence, customers can use our platform to rapidly and flexibly shift their operations with their partners in the CCC ecosystem, staying in sync. They can do this in line with their existing systems and operations, with AI-enabled workflows driving increased efficiency and productivity so they can stay ahead of the curve. Through our unique industry-wide benchmarking data, they can make sure they really are. This dynamic creates a virtuous cycle where increased customer collaboration drives demand for additional solutions and is just one example of how we're helping our customers navigate the increasing complexity in the insurance economy.
Another is the ongoing economic sensitivity of the U.S. consumer and the cumulative impact of inflation, which has contributed to a more than 50% increase in auto insurance premiums since March of 2020. Across multiple dimensions, we have seen consumers seek to lower their costs and avoid potential future rate increases. They are raising deductibles and reducing coverage. Smaller claims are going unfiled, and insurance shopping is up. This puts even more pressure on insurers and repairers to deliver a modern, best-in-class customer experience, but also creates the risk of unrelated prior damage showing up in future claims and repairs. Both areas that we believe CCC is uniquely positioned to address.
