And given its recent growth, it comes as no surprise that the company report strong financial results in the second quarter. CoreLogic’s property intelligence and risk management revenues increased 4% to $183 million driven primarily by organic growth in property insights, including real estate-related and international operations, as well as contributions from insurance and spatial solutions acquisitions completed in 2017.

Total revenues increased 3% to $488 million in the second quarter, up from $474 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Operating income rose 14% in the second quarter to $90 million, up from $78 million in the second quarter of 2017. And net income from continuing operations surged 42% to $59 million, up a full $17 million from the year before.
