Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) announced today that it has
entered into an agreement to acquire CAPE Analytics, a leading
provider of geospatial AI intelligence for residential and
commercial properties. The acquisition will bring together Moody’s
industry-leading Intelligent Risk Platform and catastrophe risk
modeling for the insurance sector with CAPE's cutting-edge
geospatial AI analytics, creating a sophisticated property database
capable of delivering instant, address-specific risk insights.
“I continually hear from our customers that they are seeking
more precise and actionable information as they evaluate an
evolving set of risks,” said Rob Fauber, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Moody’s. “By combining our CAT risk models
with CAPE’s AI-powered property risk intelligence, we will provide
our customers with the most advanced property risk analytics
available in the industry, enhancing insights and decision-making
across the insurance lifecycle.”
With the acquisition of CAPE, Moody’s will provide its customers
more in-depth, property-specific data than ever before, including
building characteristics, firmographic data, peril risk and average
annual loss estimates, geospatial AI analytics, valuation,
probability of default models, and more. This rich reservoir of
data will allow insurance carriers, reinsurers, and various
financial stakeholders to better determine property exposures,
vulnerabilities, valuations and the risks posed by natural hazards
such as wildfires, hurricanes, and hailstorms.
CAPE Analytics creates property intelligence analytics through
computer vision, machine learning, and geospatial imagery,
providing immediate, detailed risk assessments for properties on an
individual address basis throughout the United States, and in large
parts of Canada and Australia.
The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of
2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions,
including the expiration or termination of any applicable
regulatory waiting periods.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and the
transaction is not expected to have a material impact on Moody’s
financial results.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Certain statements contained in
this release are forward-looking statements and are based on future
expectations, plans and prospects for Moody’s business and
operations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such
statements involve estimates, projections, goals, forecasts,
assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results or
outcomes to differ materially from those contemplated, expressed,
projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking
statements. Stockholders and investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Such statements
include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the impact
of the acquisition of CAPE Analytics on Moody’s business. The
forward-looking statements and other information in this release
are made as of the date hereof, and Moody’s undertakes no
obligation (nor does it intend) to publicly supplement, update or
revise such statements on a going-forward basis, whether as a
result of subsequent developments, changed expectations or
otherwise, except as required by applicable law or regulation. In
connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Moody’s is identifying
certain factors that could cause actual results to differ, perhaps
materially, from those indicated by these forward-looking
statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to: the impact of general economic conditions
(including significant government debt and deficit levels, and
inflation and related monetary policy actions by governments in
response to inflation) on worldwide credit markets and on economic
activity, including on the volume of mergers and acquisitions, and
their effects on the volume of debt and other securities issued in
domestic and/or global capital markets; the uncertain effectiveness
and possible collateral consequences of U.S. and foreign government
initiatives and monetary policy to respond to the current economic
climate, including instability of financial institutions, credit
quality concerns, and other potential impacts of volatility in
financial and credit markets; the global impacts of the Russia -
Ukraine military conflict and the military conflict in the Middle
East on volatility in world financial markets, on general economic
conditions and GDP in the U.S. and worldwide, on global relations
and on the Company's own operations and personnel; other matters
that could affect the volume of debt and other securities issued in
domestic and/or global capital markets, including regulation,
increased utilization of technologies that have the potential to
intensify competition and accelerate disruption and
disintermediation in the financial services industry, as well as
the number of issuances of securities without ratings or securities
which are rated or evaluated by non-traditional parties; the level
of merger and acquisition activity in the U.S. and abroad; the
uncertain effectiveness and possible collateral consequences of
U.S. and foreign government actions affecting credit markets,
international trade and economic policy, including those related to
tariffs, tax agreements and trade barriers; the impact of MIS’s
withdrawal of its credit ratings on countries or entities within
countries and of Moody’s no longer conducting commercial operations
in countries where political instability warrants such actions;
concerns in the marketplace affecting our credibility or otherwise
affecting market perceptions of the integrity or utility of
independent credit agency ratings; the introduction or development
of competing and/or emerging technologies and products; pricing
pressure from competitors and/or customers; the level of success of
new product development and global expansion; the impact of
regulation as an NRSRO, the potential for new U.S., state and local
legislation and regulations; the potential for increased
competition and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we
operate, including the EU; exposure to litigation related to our
rating opinions, as well as any other litigation, government and
regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries to which
Moody’s may be subject from time to time; provisions in U.S.
legislation modifying the pleading standards and EU regulations
modifying the liability standards applicable to credit rating
agencies in a manner adverse to credit rating agencies; provisions
of EU regulations imposing additional procedural and substantive
requirements on the pricing of services and the expansion of
supervisory remit to include non-EU ratings used for regulatory
purposes; uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the
U.S. and China; the possible loss of key employees and the impact
of the global labor environment; failures or malfunctions of our
operations and infrastructure; any vulnerabilities to cyber threats
or other cybersecurity concerns; the timing and effectiveness of
any restructuring programs; currency and foreign exchange
volatility; the outcome of any review by tax authorities of Moody’s
global tax planning initiatives; exposure to potential criminal
sanctions or civil remedies if Moody’s fails to comply with foreign
and U.S. laws and regulations that are applicable in the
jurisdictions in which Moody’s operates, including data protection
and privacy laws, sanctions laws, anti-corruption laws, and local
laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials; the
impact of mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations and
the ability of Moody’s to successfully integrate acquired
businesses; the level of future cash flows; the levels of capital
investments; and a decline in the demand for credit risk management
tools by financial institutions. These factors, risks and
uncertainties as well as other risks and uncertainties that could
cause Moody’s actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated, expressed, projected, anticipated or implied in the
forward-looking statements are described in greater detail under
“Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of Moody’s annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in other filings
made by the Company from time to time with the SEC or in materials
incorporated herein or therein. Stockholders and investors are
cautioned that the occurrence of any of these factors, risks and
uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated, expressed, projected,
anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements, which
could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business,
results of operations and financial condition. New factors may
emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to
predict new factors, nor can the Company assess the potential
effect of any new factors on it. Forward-looking and other
statements in this release may also address our corporate
responsibility progress, plans, and goals (including sustainability
and environmental matters), and the inclusion of such statements is
not an indication that these contents are necessarily material to
investors or required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, historical,
current, and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may
be based on standards for measuring progress that are still
developing, internal controls and processes that continue to
evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the
future.
