Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch Group” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: PRCH), a homeowners insurance and vertical software platform, today reported first quarter results through March 31, 2024, with total revenue of $115.4 million, which increased 32% compared to the prior year. GAAP net loss was $13.4 million, an improvement of $25.4 million compared to the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA Loss was $16.8 million, an improvement of $5.1 million compared to the prior year.
CEO Summary
"We are pleased with the results we delivered in the first quarter, with revenue growth of 32% and the year-over-year improvement in profitability despite the Texas Spring Storm Season arriving early. I was proud to see the release of the 2023 AM Best data that showed HOA, our insurance carrier, delivered the top performing direct combined ratio in Texas as compared to peers, and is one of the best performers across the country. Our strong April 1st reinsurance renewals were a testament to the insurance profitability actions and our ability to sustain an advantage given our unique property data,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder. "Operationally the business has performed well, with continued product launches and corresponding price increases in our SaaS businesses driving increased revenue. Following the placement of our reinsurance renewals and our confidence in the full year, we are pleased to increase full year Adjusted EBITDA profitability guidance."

The Company ended the first quarter of 2024 with cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $413.2 million. Of this amount, Homeowner's of America ("HOA"), Porch's insurance carrier, held cash and cash equivalents of $204.4 million and investments of $96.6 million. Excluding HOA, Porch held $112.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. In addition, the Company ended the first quarter of 2024 with $36.8 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents, primarily for the captive and warranty businesses. Porch Group also holds a $49 million surplus note with HOA.
As of March 31, 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”).
The Company repurchased $8.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2026 Notes in a private transaction for $3.0 million in cash, or 37.5% of par.
As part of the acquisition of Floify, LLC (“Floify”) in October 2021, we issued shares as partial closing consideration to the sellers of Floify and guaranteed that the value of those shares would equal or exceed 200% of such price on or prior to December 31, 2024 (the “True-Up Obligation”). The True-Up Obligation could be settled at our option in cash, Porch common stock, or a combination thereof. On March 27, 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release of claims with the sellers of Floify to settle a post-closing dispute. As part of the of this agreement, the sellers of Floify agreed to terminate the True-Up Obligation in full and released from restriction approximately $0.9 million of escrowed cash to us.
Post Balance Sheet Events
Following the period end, the Company secured its 2024 reinsurance placements. The reinsurance program has a simplified structure and improved terms; this is testament to the industry-leading underwriting results delivered.
Under the new reinsurance coverage, third-party prospective ceding is 27.5%, slightly higher than anticipated given the more favorable terms. In addition, the excess of loss coverage has better terms than 2023.
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. Guidance assumes a 63% gross loss ratio for the full year 2024, in line with the 5-year weighted average. Catastrophic weather in excess of historical experiences, would create downside to the lower end of the range.
Full year 2024 guidance is as follows:

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.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management. Although we, Porch Group, Inc., believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by, or include the words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “forecast,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “plan,” “scheduled,” “anticipate,” “intend,” or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of the date hereof. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the forward-looking statements in this release do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that have not been completed as of the date of this release. You should understand that the following important factors, among others, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the risks to forward-looking statements made in this release.
You should not rely upon 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 that 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 in the reports with file with the SEC 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.
