Insights

GSHD shows robust Q1 growth with 17% revenue increase, 46% higher net income, and 300bps EBITDA margin expansion to 21%.

Goosehead Insurance delivered impressive Q1 2025 financial results across key metrics. Total revenue grew 17% to $75.6 million, while core revenue (excluding contingent commissions and non-recurring items) also increased 17% to $69.1 million. Total written premiums, a leading indicator of future revenue, jumped 22% to $1.0 billion.

Net income improved substantially, rising 46% to $2.6 million from $1.8 million year-over-year, translating to EPS growth from $0.07 to $0.09. Adjusted EBITDA showed even stronger performance, increasing 32% to $15.5 million with margins expanding 300 basis points to 21%.

Operational efficiency is improving, with core operating expenses growing at 14%, slower than the 17% revenue growth rate. This positive operational leverage directly contributed to margin expansion. The company's healthy client retention rate of 84% supports revenue stability.

The balance sheet remains solid with $70.2 million in cash, an unused $75 million credit line, and $300 million in term notes. The newly authorized $100 million share repurchase program through May 2026 signals management confidence.

One cautionary note: Adjusted EPS decreased 5% despite revenue growth. Additionally, the company's 2025 guidance projects premium growth of 22-28% but revenue growth of only 11-22%, suggesting potential pressure on commission rates or changes in business mix.

GSHD's aggressive expansion strategy shows results with 22% premium growth, significant investments in staff and technology, and substantial market opportunity ahead.

Goosehead's Q1 2025 results demonstrate effective execution of their growth strategy in the competitive personal lines insurance market. The 22% increase in written premiums significantly outpaces industry averages, indicating market share gains.

The company is aggressively investing in its production capacity, with corporate agent headcount surging 46% to 426 agents. This substantial investment in the corporate channel contrasts with the more modest 7% growth in franchise producers to 2,097, suggesting a possible strategic shift in their distribution approach.

Goosehead's growth is built on a foundation of expanding client relationships, with policies in force growing 13% to approximately 1,729,000. Their 84% client retention rate reflects strong customer satisfaction and provides stable recurring revenue.

The company is making strategic investments in four key areas: expanding production capacity, enhancing service capabilities, upgrading technology infrastructure, and developing AI-driven tools to improve the personal lines experience. These investments position Goosehead to scale efficiently while maintaining service quality.

What's particularly notable is Goosehead's massive market opportunity. Their current $4 billion in annual premiums represents less than 1% of the $500 billion U.S. personal lines market. This untapped potential provides a clear pathway for continued expansion as the company progresses toward its ambitious goal of becoming the largest distributor of personal lines insurance in the U.S.

Net Income increased 46% for the quarter and Adjusted EBITDA* for the quarter increased 32%. Net Income Margin was 4% and adjusted EBITDA margin* expanded 300 basis points to 21%.

*Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures.

First Quarter 2025 Results
For the first quarter of 2025, revenues were $75.6 million, an increase of 17% compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other income, were $69.1 million, a 17% increase from $58.8 million in the prior-year period. Core Revenues are the most reliable revenue stream for the Company, consisting of New Business Commissions, Agency Fees, New Business Royalty Fees, Renewal Commissions, and Renewal Royalty Fees. Core Revenue growth was driven by improved franchise productivity and client retention of 84%, and rising premium rates. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 22% in the first quarter.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $69.0 million, up from $63.0 million in the prior-year period. Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses* for the first quarter of 2025 were $60.1 million, up 14% from $52.7 million in the prior-year period. Employee compensation and benefits increased to $48.3 million from $42.1 million in the prior-year period. Employee compensation and benefits, excluding equity-based compensation* increased to $42.1 million from $34.8 million in the prior-year period. The increases were primarily due to investments in corporate producers and our service and technology functions. Equity-based compensation decreased to $6.2 million for the period, compared to $7.4 million in the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses increased to $17.6 million from $17.2 million in the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses, excluding impairment*, increased to $17.6 million from $16.8 million in the prior-year period. The increases were primarily due to increases in professional services and investments in technology and systems to drive growth and continue to improve the client experience. Bad debt expense of $0.4 million decreased from $1.1 million in the prior-year period.

Net income in the first quarter of 2025 was $2.6 million versus net income of $1.8 million in the prior-year period. Earnings per share and Net Income Margin for the first quarter of 2025 were $0.09 and 4%, respectively. Adjusted EPS for the first quarter of 2025, which excludes equity-based compensation and impairment expense, was $0.26 per share.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP

This release includes certain financial performance measures that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company refers to these measures as “non-GAAP financial measures.” The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating its performance and considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax position, depreciation, amortization and certain other items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors.

These non-GAAP financial measures are defined by the Company as follows:

  • "Core Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Renewal Commissions, Renewal Royalty Fees, New Business Commissions, New Business Royalty Fees, and Agency Fees. We believe that Core Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes all of our revenues from sales of individual insurance policies.
  • "Cost Recovery Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Initial Franchise Fees and Interest Income. We believe that Cost Recovery Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are viewed by management as cost recovery mechanisms.
  • "Ancillary Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Contingent Commissions and Other Income. We believe that Ancillary Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are ancillary to our core business.
  • "Adjusted EBITDA" is a supplemental measure of the Company's performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, impairment expense, and other non-operating items, including, among other things, certain non-cash charges and certain non-recurring or non-operating gains or losses.
  • "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is Adjusted EBITDA as defined above, divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level.
  • "Adjusted EPS" is a supplemental measure of our performance, defined as earnings per share (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before non-recurring or non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EPS is a useful measure to management and our investors because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance and helps measure our profitability on a consolidated level.
  • “Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses” is defined as total operating expenses (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash charges.
  • “Employee compensation and benefits, excluding equity-based compensation” is defined as Employee compensation and benefits (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before equity-based compensation. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash compensation charges.
  • “General and administrative expenses, excluding impairment” is defined as general and administrative expenses (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before impairment expense. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash charges.

While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenues, net income, or earnings per share, in each case as recognized in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in the Company’s industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
