EverQuote, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVER), a leading online insurance
marketplace, today announced financial results for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“EverQuote continued building momentum in the second quarter,
and our operating results once again exceeded the high-end of our
guidance range and drove record results for revenue, Variable
Marketing Margin, or VMM, and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Jayme Mendal,
CEO of EverQuote. “The auto insurance recovery continues to
progress, with carriers steadily improving underwriting
profitability, and moving to reactivate campaigns, restore budgets,
and reopen their state footprints in our marketplace.”
“In the second quarter, we continued to execute well against an
improving auto carrier landscape, and achieved strong profitability
by delivering record levels of net income and operating cash flow,”
said Joseph Sanborn, CFO of EverQuote. “We continue to be very
disciplined in managing expenses and driving incremental efficiency
across the business, which is resulting in expanding operating
leverage, as we scale and drive top-line growth. Looking ahead,
while we remain steadfast in our commitment to efficient
operations, we plan to judiciously invest in opportunities to
position our company for long-term success.”
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights:(Unless
otherwise noted, all comparisons are relative to the second quarter
of 2023. EverQuote exited the health insurance vertical at the end
of the second quarter of 2023. Revenue in our health insurance
vertical was $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.)
- Total revenue of $117.1 million, an increase of 72%.
- Automotive insurance vertical revenue of $102.6 million, up
over 106%, and representing 88% of revenue.
- Home and renters insurance vertical revenue of $13.9 million,
up 29% compared to $10.7 million.
- VMM increased to $36.5 million, compared to VMM of $24.7
million.
- GAAP net income improved to $6.4 million, compared to a GAAP
net loss of $13.2 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased to $12.9 million, compared to
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.1 million.
- Cash flow from operations of $12.4 million, compared to cash
flow from operations of $3.3 million.
- Ended the quarter with $60.9 million in cash and cash
equivalents, an increase of 25% from $48.6 million at the end of
the first quarter of 2024.
Third Quarter 2024 Outlook:
- Revenue of $137.0 - $143.0 million.
- Variable Marketing Margin of $38.5 - $41.5 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $14.0 - $17.0 million.
With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Third Quarter
2024 Outlook” above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP
measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income (loss) in
this press release because the Company does not provide guidance
for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization
expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related
costs, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis as
the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without
unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss). In
addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a
degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to
investors.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements, within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact
contained in this press release, including statements regarding our
future results of operations and financial position, business
strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important
factors that may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,”
“expects,” “might,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,”
“target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “potential,” “seek,” “would” or “continue,” or the
negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The
forward-looking statements in this press release are only
predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely
on our current expectations and projections about future events and
financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial
condition, liquidity and results of operations. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels
of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in
the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press
release and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and
assumptions described in our annual report on Form 10-K, our
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our current reports on Form 8-K
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from
time to time. Additional information will also be set forth in the
Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2024, which will be filed with the SEC. Because
forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you
should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions
of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our
forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. While we may elect to update these
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, whether as
a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise, we
have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required
by applicable law. Some of the key factors that could cause actual
results to differ include: (1) our dependence on revenue from the
property and casualty insurance industries, and specifically
automotive insurance, and exposure to risks related to those
industries; (2) our dependence on our relationships with insurance
providers with no long-term minimum financial commitments; (3) our
reliance on a small number of insurance providers for a significant
portion of our revenue; (4) our dependence on third-party media
sources for a significant portion of visitors to our websites and
marketplace; (5) our ability to attract consumers searching for
insurance to our websites and marketplace through Internet search
engines, display advertising, social media, content-based online
advertising and other online sources; (6) any limitations
restricting our ability to market to users or collect and use data
derived from user activities; (7) risks related to cybersecurity
incidents or other network disruptions; (8) risks related to the
use of artificial intelligence; (9) our ability to develop new and
enhanced products and services to attract and retain consumers and
insurance providers, and to successfully monetize them; (10) the
impact of competition in our industry and innovation by our
competitors; (11) our ability to hire and retain necessary
qualified employees to expand our operations; (12) our ability to
stay abreast of and comply with new or modified laws and
regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our
business, including with respect to the insurance industry,
telemarketing restrictions and data privacy requirements; (13) our
ability to protect our intellectual property rights and maintain
and build our brand; (14) our future financial performance,
including our expectations regarding our revenue, cost of revenue,
variable marketing margin, operating expenses, cash flows and
ability to achieve, and maintain, future profitability; (15) our
ability to properly collect, process, store, share, disclose and
use consumer information and other data; and (16) the future
trading prices of our Class A common stock.

(1) Adjusted
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Please see “EverQuote, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” below for more
information. |
To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional
information regarding EverQuote’s financial results, the Company
has presented Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial
measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is not based on
any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by
other companies.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss),
excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense;
depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring and other
charges; acquisition-related costs; interest income; and
income taxes. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net
income (loss). The Company monitors and presents Adjusted EBITDA
because it is a key measure used by management and the board of
directors to understand and evaluate operating performance, to
establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing
EverQuote’s business. In particular, the Company believes that
excluding the impact of these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA
can provide a useful measure
for period-to-period comparisons of EverQuote’s core
operating performance.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate EverQuote’s
operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. The
Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps
identify underlying trends in EverQuote’s business that could
otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that the Company
excludes in the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the
Company believes that this financial measure provides useful
information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating
EverQuote’s operating results, enhancing the overall understanding
of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not
prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in
isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to
the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is
the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may
use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could
reduce the usefulness of the Company’s non-GAAP financial
measures as tools for comparison.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income
(loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated
and presented in accordance with GAAP.
