Mastermind\u2019s predictive\u00a0Behavior\u00a0Prediction Score and integration with Dealer Management Systems ensure high stickiness, while Polk\u2019s longitudinal 30-year data set provides OEMs and marketers with unparalleled insights.<\/p>\n Mobility\u00a0Global\u2019s\u00a0financial profile is characterized by an 81% recurring revenue base, adjusted operating margins of 35.4%, and asset-light operations with minimal capital requirements, translating into predictable, high-quality cash flow.
