Insights

The significant year-over-year growth in total revenue and written premium reveals Hagerty's growing market presence. The 24% increase in total revenue to $271.7 million and 19% rise in written premium to $218.3 million indicate effective performance marketing and brand strategies. The operating margin expansion of 1,210 basis points is particularly noteworthy as it suggests improved operational efficiency and cost control mechanisms within the company. Such a margin expansion is substantial and suggests that Hagerty has not only increased its scale but has done so by enhancing profitability, a key aspect that can affect investor perception positively.

The report of an increase in net income by $23.2 million is a clear turnaround from the previous year, marking a solid improvement in financial health. This could be a result of cost containment initiatives that held back general and administrative services costs by 7.1% and salary and benefits growth to only 1.6%. Additionally, the company’s focus on optimizing business processes has resulted in significant operating income, from an operating loss to a profit of $12.2 million.

The adjusted EBITDA growth, from $6.7 million to $27.3 million, reflects not just revenue growth but also operational efficiencies and the effective management of expenses. For investors, these financial health markers are critical when assessing company performance, especially in a sector like insurance which is heavily impacted by risk management and financial stability.

However, the reported basic and diluted EPS of -$0.04 might raise questions. It is important to understand the context of these figures, such as the impact of non-cash expenses or one-time charges that may have influenced the EPS. The Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, is reported as $0.04, which excludes certain non-recurring and non-cash items, potentially providing a clearer picture of the company's operational profitability.

The retention rate of policies in force at 88.7% and a net promoter score of 82 reflect a strong customer base with potential for sustained revenue through renewals. In the insurance industry, these metrics are vital as they indicate customer satisfaction and loyalty, leading to lower acquisition costs and a stable revenue stream. Moreover, membership growth in the Hagerty Drivers Club, up 8% year-over-year, demonstrates the company's ability to not only attract but also retain enthusiasts, which can contribute to recurring revenue streams.

The company's strategic focus areas for 2024, such as enhancing member experience and expanding insurance offerings, especially in the post-1980s collectible space, signal that Hagerty is looking to capture newer markets and younger demographics that might have different insurance needs. This is a move that could pay off in the future as it taps into the growing interest in modern classics.

Despite the uncertain macro environment and the challenges that the insurance industry faces, such as heightened inflationary pressures, Hagerty's reaffirmed outlook suggests confidence in its business model and growth trajectory. These positive indicators can be appealing to investors looking for companies with a robust strategic direction and resilience against macroeconomic challenges.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagerty, Inc. (NYSE: HGTY), an automotive enthusiast brand and leading specialty vehicle insurance provider, announced today financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

"We are off to a great start in 2024 as the initiatives undertaken in 2023 powered strong top-line momentum and significant margin expansion," said McKeel Hagerty, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Hagerty. "Total revenue gains of 24% were fueled by written premium growth of 19% as our brand strength and performance marketing efforts drove high rates of compounding growth in new members. Importantly, we are acquiring new customers and serving existing ones more efficiently than ever, resulting in operating margin expansion of 1,210 basis points."

"This laser focus on profitability resulted in a year-over-year improvement in Net Income of $23 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $21 million in what had historically been a seasonally weak quarter for the Company. Operating leverage and optimized business processes have shifted that paradigm," continued Mr. Hagerty.

"We are reaffirming our 2024 growth outlook given the great start to the year as we execute on our long range plan," added Mr. Hagerty. "Operating margins should continue to expand, powered by operational efficiencies, cost discipline, and sustained mid-teens revenue growth as we help car enthusiasts protect, buy and sell, and enjoy their special vehicles."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated Net income (loss), excluding interest and other income (expense), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude (i) changes in the fair value of our warrant liabilities; (ii) share-based compensation expense; and when applicable, (iii) restructuring, impairment and related charges, net; (iv) the net gain or loss from asset disposals; (v) losses and impairments related to divestitures; and (vi) certain other unusual items.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations.

By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation to Net income (loss), which is the most comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for Net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance. Hagerty's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Net income (loss):

Adjusted EPS

We define Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share ("Adjusted EPS") as consolidated Net income (loss), less changes in the fair value of our warrant liabilities, divided by our outstanding and total potentially dilutive securities, which includes (i) the weighted average issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock; (ii) all issued and outstanding non-controlling interest units of THG; (iii) all unexercised warrants; (iv) all unissued share-based compensation awards; and (v) all issued and outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EPS is basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS"), which is calculated as Net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stockholders divided by the weighted average number of Class A Common Stock shares outstanding during the period.

We present Adjusted EPS because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the consolidated performance of other companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted EPS, which compares our consolidated Net income (loss) with our outstanding and potentially dilutive shares, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance on a fully consolidated basis.

Management uses Adjusted EPS:

as a measurement of operating performance of our business on a fully consolidated basis;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
as a preferred predictor of core operating performance, comparisons to prior periods and competitive positioning.

We caution investors that Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including Basic EPS, and that Adjusted EPS, as we define it, may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EPS has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as a measure of profit or loss per share.
