PRCH Porch Group Inc

Solid performance in the second quarter

Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch Group” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: PRCH), a homeowners insurance and vertical software platform, today reported second quarter results through June 30, 2024, with total revenue of $110.8 million, which increased 12% compared to the prior year. GAAP net loss was $64.3 million, an improvement of $22.6 million compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA Loss was $34.8 million, an improvement of $8.4 million compared to the prior year.

CEO Summary

“The team delivered a solid performance this quarter. Despite a May hurricane-like event in Houston with 100 miles per hour sustained winds that caused catastrophic weather claims worse than historic experiences and expectations, our results are still broadly in line with plan and showed solid year-over-year improvement. Our insurance profitability actions continued to result in attritional losses performing better than anticipated and substantial improvement in our gross combined ratio year-over-year,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder. “Our focus remains on deepening our long-term competitive moat by expanding our data platform, monetizing data products such as Home Factors in the market, and executing the reciprocal exchange to structure our insurance operation in a way we believe scales rapidly and profitability with lower volatility. We are excited about the announcement of having filed the updated reciprocal application, with a targeted 2024 approval. We remain focused on building long-term value for our shareholders and are very excited about how the years ahead are shaping up.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

• Total revenue of $110.8 million, an increase of 12% or $12.1 million compared to prior year (second quarter 2023: $98.8 million), driven by the Insurance segment, including a 28% increase in premium per policy and lower reinsurance ceding.
• Revenue less cost of revenue of $19.2 million, 17% of total revenue (second quarter 2023: $17.4 million, 18% of total revenue). Vertical Software Segment margin improved ~800bps, driven by price increases and strong cost control. In the Insurance Segment attritional losses were better than anticipated, offsetting the severe Houston catastrophic event in the second quarter.
• GAAP net loss of $64.3 million, compared to a GAAP net loss of $87.0 million for the second quarter of 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $34.8 million, a $8.4 million improvement from the prior year (second quarter 2023: loss of $43.1 million), driven by the Insurance segment, SaaS price increases and strong cost control.
• Gross written premium for the quarter in our Insurance segment was $117 million with approximately 232 thousand policies in force.
• $409.8 million cash, cash equivalents, and investments at June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights

• 21% attritional loss ratio, an improvement from 35% in the prior year, driven by the insurance profitability actions.
• The second quarter, which historically has been the highest claims quarter for the insurance business, realized substantial improvement in its Gross Combined Ratio, from 180% in Q2 2023 to 124% in Q2 2024, despite increased catastrophic weather driven by the May Houston wind event.
• Approved in 13 states to use Porch's unique property data to improve underwriting risk accuracy.

The Company ended the second quarter of 2024 with cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $409.8 million. Of this amount, Homeowner's of America (“HOA”), Porch's insurance carrier, held cash and cash equivalents of $194.7 million and investments of $98.1 million. Excluding HOA, Porch held $117.0 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. In addition, the Company ended the second quarter of 2024 with $11.1 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents, primarily for the captive and warranty businesses. Porch Group also holds a $49 million surplus note from HOA.

As of June 30, 2024, outstanding principal for convertible debt was $550.3 million. This includes $333.3 million of the 6.75% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due October 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $217.0 million of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due September 2026 (the “2026 Notes”).

Post Balance Sheet Events

On July 29, 2024, we filed a new and updated application to form and license a Texas reciprocal exchange (the “Reciprocal”) with the Texas Department of Insurance (“TDI”). If approved by the TDI, our insurance underwriting business will be sold to the Reciprocal for an increased surplus note, with then all homeowner insurance underwriting being performed within the Reciprocal. A Porch subsidiary would serve as the operator (or “attorney-in-fact”) for the Reciprocal. In that role it would perform underwriting, claims, and management services for the Reciprocal and receive a management fee calculated as a percentage of its premiums. Porch subsidiaries would act as general agents for the Reciprocal and HOA and would receive fees and commissions. There can be no assurance that the Reciprocal will receive regulatory approval, and if obtained, that the approval would be based on terms as proposed or subject to additional requirements that may not be acceptable to us. If approved, we intend to launch Porch Insurance, a new brand and product to be offered by the Reciprocal, including unique benefits for consumers such as a free 90-day warranty and proprietary discounts to customers within the Porch ecosystem.

Along with the reciprocal exchange application, Porch contributed a cumulative approximately 18.3 million Porch Group common stock shares into HOA to support this critical planned transition. This contribution helps to bolster HOA’s balance sheet strength and rating after Q2 2024 weather impacted surplus. In addition, the contribution strengthens HOA's long-term surplus position, which better positions HOA for any future third-party surplus note capital-raising efforts, and, importantly, it is expected to support premium growth in 2025 and beyond. See Note 8 of the second quarter 2024 10Q for further information on our contributions to HOA.

Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook

Porch Group provides full year 2024 guidance based on current market conditions and expectations as of the date of this release.

Our updated profit guidance is primarily driven by three items:

• In Q2 2024 we saw strong performance against the things that we can control, including underwriting performance and related attritional losses in our insurance business, price increases in our software business, and strong cost control.

This has been offset by two 1 in 10 year catastrophic weather events, which fall outside the range of our typical expectations for catastrophic weather included in our original guidance.

• The first was a $23 million May Houston catastrophic event in Q2 2024.
• The second is Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall in Houston in the first week of July that we expect to have $30 million in claims cost of revenue net of reinsurance in Q3 2024.

Full year 2024 guidance is as follows:

Full Year 2024 Guidance

 

Revenue

$450m to $470m

Growth of 5% to 9%

(Unchanged)

 

Revenue Less Cost of Revenue

$190m to $200m

(Previously: $230m to $240m)

 

Adjusted EBITDA1

$(20)m to $(10)m

(Previously: $2.5m to $12.5m)

 

Gross Written Premium2

$460m to $480m

(Unchanged)

Catastrophic weather further in excess of historical experiences, would create downside to the lower end of the range.

1

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure.

2

2024 gross written premium (“GWP”) guidance is stated as the expected full-year GWP for 2024 and is the total premium written by our licensed insurance carrier(s) (before deductions for reinsurance) and premiums from our home warranty offerings (for the face value of one year’s premium). Note, full-year 2023 GWP included approximately $45 million from EIG placed with third-party carriers. Post divestiture of EIG, any sales to third-party carriers is no longer included in GWP reporting.

Porch Group is not providing reconciliations of expected 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.

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all the risks to forward-looking statements made in this release.

You should not rely upon on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those described above and elsewhere in this release. We disclaim any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) as a percent of revenue.

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; 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) as a percent of revenue is defined as Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) divided by total revenue.

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.

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.
