PRCH Porch Group Inc

Exceeds expectations delivering Q4’24 Net Income of $30m and Adjusted EBITDA of $42m

Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch Group” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: PRCH), a homeowners insurance and vertical software platform, today reported fourth quarter results through December 31, 2024, with total revenue of $100.4 million. GAAP net income was $30.5 million, an improvement of $33.0 million compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA was $41.8 million, an improvement of $30.1 million compared to the prior year.

CEO Summary

“We had a strong finish to the year, and delivered our full year positive Adjusted EBITDA target. We delivered record quarterly Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2024, which we believe marks a pivotal shift toward sustainable profitable growth for Porch Group shareholders,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder. “We formed the Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange in January 2025, transforming Porch toward a simpler, commission and fee-based, higher margin model. With the strong progress over the last few months, we’re raising our 2025 outlook, including Adjusted EBITDA of $60 million at the mid-point of guidance.”

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results2

• Total revenue of $100.4 million, a decrease of (12)% or $14.3 million compared to prior year (fourth quarter 2023: $114.6 million); the prior year included $26 million of non-recurring revenue due to lower reinsurance ceding following the cancellation of the Vesttoo related reinsurance coverage1. Additionally, Q4 2024 included a $5 million non-recurring year-end adjustment related to the legacy reinsurance complexities following Vesttoo. These factors offset organic growth in the Insurance segment, including a 31% increase in premium per policy.

• Revenue less cost of revenue of $89.3 million, 89% of total revenue (fourth quarter 2023: $79.9 million, 70% of total revenue). Vertical Software Segment revenue less cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue improved ~500bps, driven by SaaS price increases and strong cost control.

• GAAP net income of $30.5 million, compared to a GAAP net loss of $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $41.8 million, a $30.1 million improvement from the prior year (fourth quarter 2023: $11.7 million), ahead of expectations. This was driven by operational excellence and a disciplined focus on profitability across the business.

• Gross written premium for the quarter in our Insurance segment was $112 million with approximately 206 thousand policies in force.

• $350.4 million cash, cash equivalents, and investments at December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights2

• The Texas Department of Insurance approved the Company’s application to form and license the Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange (“PIRE”). Since the period end, the Company solid its insurance carrier, Homeowners of America, into PIRE, resulting in Porch Group now holding $106 million of surplus notes from PIRE which pay interest of 9.75% plus SOFR.

• Gross loss ratio of 21%, an improvement from 36% in the prior year, driven by strong attritional loss ratio performance of 16%, an improvement from 30% in the prior year.

• In Insurance, premium growth has restarted, expanding distribution with reopening of geographies, hiring sales leadership and engaging agency partners. Q4 2024 new business premiums increased 50% compared to the prior year and already in Q1 2025 new business premiums are double versus the prior year.

• Strong pipeline of third-party testing of Home Factors, focused on execution to scale this business.

• Rolled out key software advancements, positioning the software businesses for growth as housing market transaction volumes recover.

• Launched MovingPlace, a marketplace for consumers that simplifies the moving process and longer term provides additional consumer access for insurance.

_______________________________________

(1)

In Q3 2023 Porch discovered that one of the legacy reinsurance partners, Vesttoo, had committed a global fraud. Therefore Porch terminated that reinsurance contract and pursued replacement reinsurance. During the second half of 2023, Porch had a period of lower reinsurance ceding that resulted in additional Revenue. The impacts to Revenue less Cost of Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were not as material.

Adjusted EBITDA and attritional loss ratios are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see page 7 and 9 for important disclaimers and information regarding non-GAAP measures.

The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2024 with cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $350.4 million. Of this amount HOA held cash and cash equivalents of $112.5 million and investments of $167.6 million. At December 31, 2024, excluding HOA, Porch held $70.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments, and a $49 million surplus note from HOA. Following the sale of HOA to PIRE on January 1, 2025, as of month end January cash and investments was $93 million, and the surplus note balance increased to $106 million.

In addition, the Company ended the fourth quarter of 2024 with $29.1 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents, primarily for the captive and warranty businesses.

As of December 31, 2024, outstanding principal for convertible debt was $507.1 million. This includes $333.3 million of the 6.75% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due October 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $173.8 million of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due September 2026 (the “2026 Notes”).

Post Balance Sheet Events

On January 1, 2025, the Company completed the formation of the Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange (“PIRE”) and the sale of Homeowners of America Insurance Company (“HOA”) to PIRE.

The Company sold HOA to PIRE for a purchase price equal to HOA’s December 31, 2024 surplus of $105 million, less the existing 2023 surplus note of $49 million and less $9 million of outstanding interest expected to be paid in 2025. This brings the total surplus notes held by Porch to approximately $106 million, which will bear interest income to Porch of 9.75% plus the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. With this transaction now complete, going forward all insurance policies, premium and related claims, as well as all HOA assets and liabilities will be owned by PIRE. Porch Group will receive commissions and fees for providing operating and other services to PIRE, which is expected to deliver more predictable and higher-margin financial results for Porch Group Shareholders.

Porch Group Shareholder Interests Full Year 2025 Financial Outlook

Porch Group provides full year 2025 guidance based on current market conditions and expectations as of the date of this release.

Financial guidance represents Porch Shareholder Interests following the formation of PIRE and sale of HOA to PIRE in January 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, guidance does not include the future results of PIRE or HOA; while we expect to consolidate their results into Porch GAAP financial statements, the PIRE and HOA results will be excluded from Revenue, Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and the associated margins.

Porch Group Shareholder Interest Full year 2025 guidance is as follows:

Porch Shareholder Interests

Full Year 2025 Guidance1

 

Revenue2

$390m to $410m

 

Gross Profit2

$310m to $325m

 

Adjusted EBITDA2

(1)

The reinsurance program for PIRE and HOA renews on April 1st, 2025. Therefore, the Porch Group captive continues to provide reinsurance coverage under the current program.

(2)

Porch Shareholder Interests Revenue, Porch Shareholder Interests Gross Profit, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.

Porch Group is not providing reconciliations of Porch Group Shareholder Interests expected Revenue, Gross Profit or Adjusted EBITDA for future periods to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP because the Company is unable to provide these reconciliations without unreasonable effort because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of the Company’s control.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) margin, and Attritional Loss Ratio.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; other expense (income), net; impairments of intangible assets and goodwill; loss on reinsurance contract; impairments of property, equipment, and software; stock-based compensation expense; mark-to-market gains or losses recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements, earnouts, warrants, and derivatives; restructuring costs; acquisition and other transaction costs; and non-cash bonus expense. Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) divided by total revenue.

Attritional Loss Ratio

The Attritional Loss Ratio is calculated by deducting the Gross Loss Ratio related to catastrophic weather events from total Gross Loss Ratio. Catastrophic weather events include, without limitation, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, hailstorms, wildfires, high winds, and winter storms. We believe the Attritional Loss Ratio is useful to investors and use this financial measure to reveal trends in our Gross Loss Ratio that may be obscured by catastrophe losses as such events cannot be accurately predicted and may cause our Gross Loss Ratio to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude. We have adopted the industry-wide catastrophe classifications of storms and other events published by Insurance Services Office, Inc. (“ISO”) to track and report losses related to catastrophes. ISO classifies an event as a catastrophe when the event causes $25 million or more in direct losses.

Disclaimers

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, to evaluate financial and strategic planning matters, and to establish certain performance goals for incentive programs. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful information to evaluate our operating and financial performance and trends and in comparing our financial results with competitors, other similar companies and companies across different industries, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, our definitions and methodology in calculating these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies. In addition, we may modify the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material.

You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation, as a substitute to or superior to financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude specified income and expenses, some of which may be significant or material, that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. We may also incur future income or expenses similar to those excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures, and the presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exercise of management judgment about which income and expense are included or excluded in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.

You should review the tables accompanying this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We are not providing reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures for future periods to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We are unable to provide these reconciliations without unreasonable effort because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control.

Key Performance Indicators

In the management of these businesses, we identify, measure and evaluate various operating metrics. The key performance measures and operating metrics used in managing the businesses are discussed below. These key performance measures and operating metrics are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may not be comparable to or calculated in the same way as other similarly titled measures and metrics used by other companies.

Gross Written Premium — We define Gross Written Premium as the total premium written by our licensed insurance carrier(s) (before deductions for reinsurance); premiums from our home warranty offerings (for the face value of one year’s premium); and premiums of policies placed with third-party insurance companies for which we earn a commission.

Policies in Force — We define Policies in Force as the number of in-force policies at the end of the period for the Insurance segment, including policies and warranties written by us and policies and warranties written by third parties for which we earn a commission.

Annualized Revenue per Policy — We define Annualized Revenue per Policy as quarterly revenue for the Insurance segment, divided by the number of Policies in Force in the Insurance segment, multiplied by four.

Annualized Premium per Policy — We define Annualized Premium per Policy as the total direct earned premium for HOA, our insurance carrier, divided by the number of active insurance policies at the end of the period, multiplied by four.

Premium Retention Rate — We define Premium Retention Rate as the ratio of our insurance carrier’s renewed premiums over the last four quarters to base premiums, which is the sum of the preceding year’s premiums that either renewed or expired.

Gross Loss Ratio — We define Gross Loss Ratio as our insurance carrier’s gross losses divided by the gross earned premium for the respective period on an accident year basis.

Attritional Loss Ratio — We define Attritional Loss Ratio as Gross Loss Ratio excluding the losses due to catastrophic weather. Catastrophic weather events include, without limitation, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, hailstorms, wildfires, high winds, and winter storms.

Gross Combined Ratio — We define Gross Combined Ratio as being the sum of the loss ratio including loss adjustment expense and expense ratio. This is on a statutory basis for our insurance carrier.

Average Companies in Quarter — We define Average Companies in Quarter as the straight-line average of the number of companies as of the end of period compared with the beginning of period across all of our home services verticals that (i) generate recurring revenue and (ii) generated revenue in the quarter. For new acquisitions, the number of companies is determined in the initial quarter based on the percentage of the quarter the acquired business is a part of Porch.

Average Monthly Revenue per Account in Quarter — We view our ability to increase revenue generated from existing customers as a key component of our growth strategy. Average Monthly Revenue per Account in Quarter is defined as the average revenue per month generated across all home services company customer accounts in a quarterly period. Average Monthly Revenue per Account in Quarter is derived from all customers and total revenue.

Monetized Services — We connect consumers with home services companies nationwide and offer a full range of products and services where homeowners can, among other things: (1) compare and buy home insurance policies (along with auto, flood and umbrella policies) and warranties with competitive rates and coverage; (2) arrange for a variety of services in connection with their move, from labor to load or unload a truck to full-service, long-distance moving services; (3) discover and install home automation and security systems; (4) compare internet and television options for their new home; (5) book small handyman jobs at fixed, upfront prices with guaranteed quality; and (6) compare bids from home improvement professionals who can complete bigger jobs. We track the number of monetized services performed through our platform each quarter and the revenue generated per service performed in order to measure market penetration with homebuyers and homeowners and our ability to deliver high-revenue services within those groups. Monetized Services is defined as the total number of services from which we generated revenue, including, but not limited to, new and renewing insurance and warranty customers, completed moving jobs, security installations, TV/Internet installations or other home projects, measured over the period.

Average Quarterly Revenue per Monetized Service — We believe that shifting the mix of services delivered to homebuyers and homeowners toward higher revenue services is an important component of our growth strategy. Average Quarterly Revenue per Monetized Service is the average revenue generated per monetized service performed in a quarterly period. When calculating Average Quarterly Revenue per Monetized Service, average revenue is defined as total quarterly service transaction revenues generated from monetized services.
