Insights

Goosehead Insurance's Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust growth and improved profitability. Total revenue increased by 13% to $78.1 million, while core revenue grew by an impressive 20% to $73.4 million. This growth was primarily driven by increased productivity, strong client retention at 84% and rising premium rates.

The company's focus on written premiums, a key indicator of future revenue growth, is paying off with a 30% increase to $998.9 million. This substantial growth in premiums, outpacing revenue growth, suggests potential for accelerated revenue expansion in upcoming quarters.

Profitability metrics show improvement, with net income rising to $10.9 million from $7.2 million year-over-year. The net income margin of 14% and adjusted EBITDA of $24.7 million (up from $23.1 million) indicate enhanced operational efficiency.

The company's share repurchase program, buying back 1.045 million shares at an average price of $60.46, demonstrates confidence in its valuation and commitment to shareholder returns. With $36.8 million still available for repurchases, this could provide continued support for the stock price.

Goosehead's guidance for 2024 remains unchanged, projecting total written premiums between $3.62 billion and $3.82 billion, representing 22% to 29% growth. The expected revenue range of $290 million to $310 million (11% to 19% growth) suggests potential for margin expansion, aligning with the company's projection of improved Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the full year.

Goosehead's Q2 performance underscores its strong position in the personal lines insurance agency market. The 30% increase in total written premiums to $998.9 million is particularly noteworthy, as it significantly outpaces the industry average growth rate. This suggests Goosehead is gaining market share in a competitive landscape.

The company's client retention rate of 84% is impressive for the personal lines segment, where switching behavior is common. This high retention rate not only contributes to stable recurring revenue but also indicates strong customer satisfaction and potential for cross-selling opportunities.

The 11% growth in policies in force to approximately 1,588,000 is solid, but it's worth noting that this growth rate is lower than the premium growth rate. This implies that premium per policy is increasing, likely due to a combination of rate increases and possibly a shift towards higher-value policies.

Goosehead's franchise model continues to show strength, with new business productivity per franchise increasing by 54%. This is a critical metric, as it demonstrates the scalability of their business model and the potential for continued growth without proportional increases in corporate overhead.

The company's ability to maintain growth despite mentioned headwinds in product availability and housing market challenges speaks to the resilience of their business model and the effectiveness of their distribution strategy. As these headwinds potentially ease, Goosehead could be well-positioned for even stronger growth in the coming years.

WESTLAKE, Texas, July 24, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Total Revenues grew 13% over the prior-year period to $78.1 million in the second quarter of 2024
  • Second quarter Core Revenues* of $73.4 million increased 20% over the prior-year period
  • Second quarter net income of $10.9 million improved from net income of $7.2 million a year ago.
  • EPS of $0.25 per share increased from $0.15 in the prior-year period, and adjusted EPS* of $0.43 per share increased 5% over the prior-year period
  • Net Income Margin for the second quarter was 14%
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $24.7 million increased from $23.1 million in the prior-year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin* remained flat versus the prior-year period at 32%
  • Total written premiums placed for the second quarter increased 30% over the prior-year period to $998.9 million
  • Policies in force increased 11% from the prior-year period to approximately 1,588,000

*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.

“Our excellent second quarter 2024 results reinforce our return to an accelerating profitable growth phase as total revenue was up 13%, core revenue grew 20%, premiums increased 30% and a significant number of new high-quality producers were added to both corporate and franchise networks during the quarter”, stated Mark Miller, President and CEO. “We are particularly pleased that new business productivity continues to trend well despite continued headwinds from product availability and housing. New business productivity per franchise increased 54% in the quarter, representing the 6th consecutive quarter of accelerating growth. Importantly, new business gains in the franchise network today will have more meaningful impact on revenue growth in 2025 as current new business converts to renewal revenue and we retain a larger portion of the economics. We were also very excited to repurchase over $63 million worth of Goosehead Class A shares since last quarter at what we view as highly attractive levels. Our strong balance sheet with conservative leverage, and our growing cash flow generation gives us multiple options to increase shareholder value. We believe our operations have never been stronger, and I am excited for our unmatched runway for substantial future growth in revenue and earnings. I want to thank our employees, franchises, and carrier partners for their tireless efforts that help us achieve these exceptional results.”

Second Quarter 2024 Results

For the second quarter of 2024, revenues were $78.1 million, an increase of 13% compared to the corresponding period in 2023. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other income, were $73.4 million, a 20% increase from $61.0 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 84%, and rising premium rates. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 30% in the second quarter.

Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $53.4 million, up 16% from $46.2 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 corporate producers, partnership, technology, and service functions. Equity-based compensation increased to $6.6 million for the period, compared to $5.9 million a year ago. Bad debt expense of $0.7 million decreased from $0.9 million a year ago. The increase in General and administrative expenses, excluding impairment, is due to investments in technology and systems to drive growth and continue to improve the client experience.

Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was $10.9 million versus net income of $7.2 million a year ago. Earnings per share and Net Income Margin for the second quarter of 2024 were $0.25 and 14%, respectively. Adjusted EPS for the second quarter of 2024, which excludes equity-based compensation and impairment expense, was $0.43 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $24.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $23.1 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 32% remained flat compared to the prior-year period.

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.
