While protecting ourselves, we continue to see strong profitability now and in the future. This is once again, thanks to the hard and tireless work of the incredible Solera Team."

Jay Hansen, CFO, commented: "I am very excited to be a part of this amazing team and I believe my strong banking background will help continue the outstanding growth the Solera team has achieved.
