^*Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of Core Revenue to total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA to net income and Adjusted EPS to basic earnings per share, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

“We achieved another outstanding year of growth in premiums, core revenue, agent count and franchise count which further validated our unique and powerful platform,” stated Mark E. Jones, Chairman and CEO. “This robust growth was achieved in a year with numerous challenges including further Covid uncertainty, significant weather events and higher auto loss trends, which contributed to historically low levels of contingent commissions after a year of historically high contingency revenue. Our runway in the marketplace is massive, and our nimble and resilient company is positioned to deliver strong revenue and earnings growth for many years and through the various economic cycles to come. Over the past several quarters, we have made significant investments in people and technology that position us extremely well to maintain and grow our competitive moat in insurance distribution. Our incredibly unique corporate culture was recently on full display at our annual meeting with agents and franchises, which was attended by over 2,000 of our employees, franchisees, and carrier partners. I want to thank our people for their enthusiastic dedication and outstanding efforts in continuing to deliver for our clients, business partners, and shareholders.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results
For the fourth quarter of 2021, revenues were $40.2 million, an increase of 16% compared to the corresponding period in 2020. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other income, were $34.8 million, a 35% increase from $25.7 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 growth in the number of corporate agents and operating franchises (which were driven by investments in our recruiting team in 2019 and prior), productivity improvements in the Franchise Channel, and strong client retention of 89%. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 43% in the fourth quarter.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $34.9 million, up 30% from $26.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase from the prior period was due to larger employee compensation and benefits expenses related to ongoing investments in our corporate agents, agent support team, service agents, and information systems developers. Also, we continued to expand our real estate footprint with additional office openings, plus additional investments in our technology roadmap, including the launch of our Digital Agent Platform and enhancements to our client-facing portal, which grew the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the quarter.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $0.9 million. We expect to continue to experience seasonality in our earnings throughout each year due to insurance sales patterns and recognition of contingent commissions, with the bulk of contingents realized in the fourth quarter. Net income attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per basic share and $0.01 per diluted share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2021, which excludes equity-based compensation, was $0.06 per share.

Full Year 2021 Results
For the full year ending December 31, 2021, revenues were $151 million, an increase of 29% compared to $117 million in 2020. Core Revenues for the full year 2020 were $133 million, a 40% increase from $95 million in 2019.

Net income for the full year ended December 31, 2021 was $8.3 million. Net income attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. was $5.4 million, or $0.28 per basic share and $0.26 per diluted share. Adjusted EPS, which excludes equity-based compensation, was $0.48 per share for the the full year 2021. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $20.8 million for the full year 2021 and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $28.5 million. We had an unused line of credit of $24.8 million at year end. Total outstanding term note payable balance was $98.8 million as of December 31, 2021.

2022 Outlook
The Company’s outlook for full year 2022 is as follows:

• Total written premiums placed for 2022 are expected to be between $2.086 billion and $2.215 billion, representing organic growth of 34% on the low end of the range to 42% on the high end of the range.
• Total revenues for 2022 are expected to be between $197.0 million and $212.0 million, representing organic growth of 30% on the low end of the range to 40% on the high end of the range, driven by high levels of Core Revenue growth and historically average contingent commissions.
• After a year of historical investments in people, technology, and real estate, Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to expand for the full year 2022.

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Reconciliation Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP

This release includes Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS 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 Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS 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 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 excluding other non-operating items. 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 because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance and helps measure our profitability on a consolidated level.

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.
