WESTLAKE, Texas, Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (“Goosehead” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GSHD), a rapidly growing independent personal lines insurance agency, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Total Revenues grew organically 38% over the prior-year period to $57.7 million in the third quarter of 2022
  • Third quarter Core Revenues* of $51.9 million increased 39% over the prior-year period
  • Third quarter net income of $3.0 million decreased 43%, EPS of $0.09 per share decreased 55% and adjusted EPS* of $0.24 per share declined 8%, over the prior-year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA* grew 67% over the prior-year period to $11.0 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin* increased 3 points over the prior-year period to 19%.  
  • Total written premiums placed for the third quarter increased 42% over the prior-year period to $616 million
  • Policies in force grew 31% from the prior-year period to approximately 1,238,000
  • Corporate sales headcount of 411 was down 18% year-over-year
  • Total franchises increased 17% compared to the prior-year period to 2,287; operating franchises grew 23% compared to the prior-year period to 1,403

*Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 delivered excellent growth in revenue and earnings for the third quarter, further validating the strength and consistency of our platform in an increasingly challenging macro-economic environment,” stated Mark E. Jones, Chairman and CEO. “In the third quarter premiums grew 42% with some increasing benefit from auto and home rates that could continue through this year and into 2023 given industry loss trends. Total revenues increased 38%, core revenues grew 39% and Adjusted EBITDA increased 67% with EBITDA margin up over 320 basis points. We are already beginning to see the emerging benefits from optimizing our resources to emphasize growth of our Franchise distribution and drive improvement in productivity of Corporate distribution. Franchise launches were up 57% in the quarter while the quality of our Franchises and pipeline continues to improve. We are ramping up our efforts to help an increasing number of franchises scale operations through producer additions and we are creating more opportunity for our highest quality corporate agents to become franchisees. We expect these efforts to result in continued strong growth of our approximately 2,500 total sales agents across both Corporate and Franchise distribution as we continue our march towards industry leadership in US Personal Lines.”

Third Quarter 2022 Results
For the third quarter of 2022, revenues were $57.7 million, an increase of 38% compared to the corresponding period in 2021. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other income, were $51.9 million, a 39% increase from $37.2 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 operating franchises, rising premium rates, and strong client retention of 88%. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 42% in the third quarter.

Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, for the third quarter of 2022 were $46.7 million, up 33% from $35.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase from the prior period was due to larger employee compensation and benefits expenses related to investments in franchise recruiters, service agents, and information systems. Equity-based compensation increased to $5.4 million for the period, compared to $1.9 million a year ago. The change in this non-cash item relates to the Black-Scholes valuation of newly issued options, which takes into account stock price on the grant date and historical volatility, among other inputs. Bad debt expense of $2.3 million increased from $0.7 million a year ago due to increased terminations of signed franchises that have yet to launch. General and Administrative expenses are also higher versus a year ago due to increased real estate costs related to 2021 office openings, software expenses, and increased travel, meals, and entertainment costs.

Net income in the third quarter of 2022 was $3.0 million, with the decrease due to higher non-cash stock compensation expense and lower income tax benefit. Net income attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.0 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share. Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2022, which excludes equity-based compensation, was $0.24 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $6.6 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 19% was up 3 points in the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $46.1 million. We had an unused line of credit of $24.8 million as of September 30, 2022. Total outstanding term note payable balance was $95.6 million as of September 30, 2022.

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

  • Total written premiums placed for 2022 are expected to be between $2.176 billion and $2.215 billion, representing organic growth of 40% 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 $194 million and $205 million, representing organic growth of 28% on the low end of the range to 35% on the high end of the range, driven by high levels of Core Revenue growth partly offset by lower than historical average contingent commissions of $7-10 million for the full year 2022 as our carriers continue to struggle with their underwriting profitability.
  • 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
