EDITORIAL

This year was defined by major product milestones, continued global expansion, and an even sharper focus on our long-term vision. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together, and deeply energized by the momentum we are carrying into 2026.
We made significant progress toward becoming the leading global actuarial AI platform in 2025, delivering a more seamless, integrated offering across pricing and reserving. Innovation remained at the core of our strategy as we continued to broaden and enhance our platform. In March 2026, we expanded into the life insurance space through our acquisition of Slope Software, a cloud-native actuarial modeling platform that supports transparent modeling across life insurance pricing, valuation, and asset management. This strengthens our end-to-end capabilities for long-duration products and accelerates our growth in life and annuities, broadening our platform to support a wider range of actuarial use cases.
In 2025, we introduced Rate Repo and Deploy, two major additions that connect model development, rate management, and production deployment within a single platform. These new capabilities position Akur8 as the pricing partner of choice for insurers seeking greater speed, transparency, stronger governance, and strategic impact.
We also took a major step forward on our platform vision through the acquisition of Matrisk, an AI-driven solution that transforms unstructured regulatory filings into actionable, on-demand market intelligence. By completing the strategic and technical groundwork in late 2025, we were able to close the transaction in early 2026 and integrate the technology smoothly into our pricing suite. These capabilities now power Akur8 Discover, giving actuaries unprecedented visibility into regulatory dynamics and market behavior.
Beyond technology, we expanded our global footprint with the opening of our new Madrid office, strengthening our presence in Europe and enhancing support for a growing base of insurers. Today, Akur8 serves more than 330 customers in over 40 countries, powered by a globally distributed team with deep actuarial, technical, and industry expertise.
As I reflect on 2025, what stands out most is not only the progress we made, but the discipline behind it. Our product, engineering, actuarial, customer success, and commercial teams operated with remarkable focus, working side by side to launch meaningful capabilities, support our clients, and execute against our long-term roadmap. That discipline is reinforced by the trust our customers and partners place in us, pushing us to think bigger, move faster, and raise our standards even higher.
In 2026, we will take another significant step forward with the introduction of our Actuarial Agentic Experts. By connecting the full Akur8 suite, these AI agents will help insurers unlock new levels of speed, consistency, and strategic impact. As AI becomes increasingly embedded across insurance operations, Akur8 is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. Our mission is to redefine actuarial work for the next generation, with actuaries leading the strategy and agents executing with scale and precision.
The path ahead is compelling. With an expanding global footprint, a powerful product ecosystem, and a clear roadmap to advance our platform vision, Akur8 is well positioned to shape the future of pricing, reserving, and regulatory intelligence across the industry.
This progress is only possible because of our employees, our clients, and our partners.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we are redefining the future of actuarial work.

With the launches of Rate Repo and Deploy, the Matrisk AI acquisition, and continued progress on ReservingOne, we moved from delivering best-in-class point solutions to building two complete platforms: Akur8 Pricing and Akur8 Reserving. Within each platform, the goal is an end-to-end workflow where
every module strengthens the next, so customers get a connected experience.
What's next?
In March 2026, Akur8 acquired Slope Software, the company behind SLOPE, a cloud-native, all-in-one actuarial modeling platform for life insurers and pension firms.
This acquisition expands Akur8’s offering beyond Property and Casualty (P&C) into the Life and Annuity (L&A) market, marking a pivotal milestone in our mission to serve actuaries globally with best-in-class tools and AI applied where they deliver the greatest impact.

Slope Software has built an exceptional platform that transforms how life actuaries work, and their vision mirrors our own: empowering actuaries with modern, intuitive tools that eliminate legacy constraints. Bringing SLOPE into the Akur8 family expands our reach into life insurance, and together we'll accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value to actuaries worldwide.
