Detailed Financial Analysis

The company’s Adjusted EBITDA of $17 million (20% margin) was driven primarily by the Insurance Services segment, which contributed $25.8 million with a 52% margin. This was partially offset by a small loss in Consumer Services and corporate expenses.

The following chart illustrates the EBITDA contributions by segment:

The Insurance Services segment demonstrated particularly strong performance with high margins and predictable revenue streams. The segment generated $97 million in Reciprocal Written Premium, with a 51% conversion to revenue.

As shown in the following segment breakdown:

The Insurance Services segment benefits from multiple income streams, including management fees based on Reciprocal Written Premium, policy fees from policyholders, non-CAT weather quota share reinsurance, fees for homebuyer leads, and approximately 15% coupon on $106 million surplus notes.

The Software & Data segment showed modest growth, with revenue increasing 4% year-over-year to $22.0 million and gross profit up 7% to $16.5 million. More significantly, Adjusted EBITDA improved by $2.0 million to $4.6 million, with margin expanding from 12% to 21%.

The Consumer Services segment saw a 9% revenue decline to $14.7 million, primarily due to the closure of the corporate relocation business in Q3 2024. However, gross margin improved from 78% to 83% as the company shifted toward a higher-margin moving marketplace.
