Insights

The reported financial performance of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. indicates significant growth in several key areas. A 25% increase in total revenue coupled with a 34% increase in total written premiums suggests a robust expansion in the company's business activities. The substantial 650% increase in EPS and a 90% increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflect not only improved profitability but also enhanced operational efficiency. These figures surpass typical industry growth rates, which generally average in the low single digits for established insurance firms. The reported net income margin of 9% is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates the company's ability to translate top-line growth into bottom-line results.

Looking ahead, the company's guidance for 2024 forecasts continued organic growth, with total written premiums expected to increase by 25% to 30%. This level of growth, if achieved, would significantly outpace the industry average, potentially leading to market share gains. However, investors should monitor the company's ability to maintain expense discipline, as increased investments in technology and marketing could impact profit margins. The expansion of the Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a positive signal for operational leverage, but the actual figures will be critical to assess the sustainability of this expansion.

The insurance industry is characterized by its reliance on economic factors such as interest rates, regulatory changes and competitive dynamics. Goosehead's reported growth in policies in force, which increased by 16%, indicates a successful acquisition and retention strategy, essential for long-term viability in a competitive market. Moreover, the company's focus on improving productivity through strategic changes, such as the sales leadership reorganization and franchise leadership consolidation, suggests a proactive approach to leveraging its business model for scale.

It's important to contextualize the 86% client retention rate, which is a strong indicator of customer satisfaction and implies a stable recurring revenue base. Additionally, the company's emphasis on expanding its franchise network and productive capacity sets the stage for future revenue streams. The anticipated growth in the franchise network could also diversify revenue sources and reduce reliance on any single market or product, potentially mitigating risks associated with market fluctuations.

From a regulatory standpoint, the insurance sector is heavily influenced by state and federal regulations. The use of non-GAAP measures such as Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA requires careful communication to ensure compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines. These measures provide additional insight into the company's operational performance, but it is essential for stakeholders to understand how these figures reconcile with GAAP metrics. The forward-looking statements regarding future growth must also adhere to SEC regulations, ensuring that they are based on reasonable assumptions and current market conditions.

Furthermore, the expected contingent commissions of approximately 35 basis points of total written premiums must be managed within the framework of insurance industry regulations, which often scrutinize incentive-based compensation for potential conflicts of interest. As the company expands, it will need to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, including compliance with data protection laws, as investments in technology and client experience often involve handling sensitive personal information.

WESTLAKE, Texas, Feb. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (“Goosehead” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GSHD), a rapidly growing independent personal lines insurance agency, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Total Revenues grew 10% over the prior-year period to $63.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023
  • Fourth quarter Core Revenues* of $56.9 million increased 10% over the prior-year period
  • Fourth quarter net income of $5.4 million improved from net income of $2.6 million a year ago. EPS of $0.15 per share increased 650% and adjusted EPS* of $0.28 per share increased 155%, over the prior-year period
  • Net income margin for the fourth quarter was 9%
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $14.1 million increased from $11.9 million in the prior-year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin* increased 1 percentage points over the prior-year period to 22%
  • Total written premiums placed for the fourth quarter increased 29% over the prior-year period to $756.1 million
  • Policies in force grew 16% from the prior-year period to approximately 1,486,000

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

“We had a tremendous 2023 with premium growth of 34%, total revenue growth of 25%, Core revenue growth of 24%, and EBITDA growth of 90% with margin expansion of 900 basis points to 27%,” stated Mark E. Jones, Chairman and CEO. “Our overall results this year unfolded according to plan as we have successfully implemented strategic changes to improve productivity and increase earnings power. The results of our Corporate sales leadership reorganization in late 2022, followed by consolidating Franchise leadership with Corporate in Q4 2023 drove very large productivity gains. The next phase of our execution will be driving accelerating new business production growth in 2024, particularly in our Franchise network and adding meaningfully to our overall productive capacity which should spring load into accelerating revenue and earnings growth in 2025 and beyond. We will be driving this improved growth on a significantly higher and expanding profitability base, further enhancing our competitive moat and positioning us well to execute on our long term objective of personal lines industry leadership.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
For the fourth quarter of 2023, revenues were $63.0 million, an increase of 10% compared to the corresponding period in 2022. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other income, were $56.9 million, a 10% increase from $51.8 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 productivity, strong client retention of 86%, and rising premium rates. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 29% in the fourth quarter.

Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and impairment expenses, for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $48.9 million, up 7% from $45.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase from the prior period was due to increased employee compensation and benefits expenses related to investments in partnership, technology, marketing, and service functions. Equity-based compensation increased to $5.0 million for the period, compared to $3.3 million a year ago. Bad debt expense of $1.0 million decreased from $1.4 million a year ago due to reduced terminations of signed franchises that have yet to launch. General and administrative expenses are also higher versus a year ago due to investments in technology, systems and marketing efforts to drive growth and continue to improve the client experience.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $5.4 million versus net income of $2.6 million a year ago, with the improvement due to strong revenue growth and expense discipline. Earnings per share and Net Income Margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $0.15 and 9%, respectively. Adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2023, which excludes equity-based compensation and impairment expense, was $0.28 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $11.9 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 22% was up 1 percentage point in the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $44.0 million. We had an unused line of credit of $49.8 million as of December 31, 2023. Total outstanding term note payable balance was $77.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

2024 Outlook
Our guidance for the full year 2024 is as follows:

  • Total written premiums placed are expected to be between $3.70 billion and $3.85 billion representing 25% organic growth on the low end of the range, and 30% organic growth on the high end of the range.
  • Total revenues are expected to be between $310 million and $320 million representing 19% organic growth on the low end of the range and 22% organic growth on the high end of the range.
  • Contingent commissions for 2024 are expected to be approximately 35 basis points of total written premiums.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to expand for the full year 2024.

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.

The following tables show a reconciliation from total revenues to Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue (non-GAAP basis) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):
