EverQuote Inc

1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

EverQuote, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2008. Through its internet websites, the Company operates an online marketplace for consumers shopping for auto, home and renters and life insurance. The Company generates revenue primarily by selling consumer referrals to insurance provider customers, consisting of carriers and agents, and indirect distributors in the United States. The Company also generates revenue from commission fees paid by insurance provider customers for insurance policies it sells to consumers.

The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties common to companies in similar industries and stages of development including, but not limited to, rapid technological changes, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, customer concentration, patent litigation, the need to obtain additional financing to support growth and dependence on third parties and key individuals.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. As of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, without considering borrowing availability under the Company’s revolving line of credit.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 on file with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been made. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and the valuation of accounts and commissions receivables, the expensing and capitalization of website and software development costs, goodwill and acquired intangible assets, the valuation of contingent consideration liabilities, the valuation of stock-based awards and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in periods in which they become known. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and of Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts and commissions receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at accredited financial institutions. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

The Company sells its consumer referrals to insurance provider customers, consisting of carriers and agents, and indirect distributors in the United States and receives commissions from insurance provider customers for insurance policies sold. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, one customer represented 47% of total revenue. For thethree months ended September 30, 2023, one customer represented 10% of total revenue. For thenine months ended September 30, 2024, one customer represented 39% of total revenue. For thenine months ended September 30, 2023, two customers represented 20% and 11%, respectively, of total revenue. As of September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 48% and 11% of the total accounts receivable and commissions receivable balance (including current and non-current), respectively. As of December 31, 2023, one customer accounted for 42% of the total accounts and commissions receivable balance (including current and non-current).

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

•

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The Company’s cash equivalents and contingent consideration liabilities are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Commissions receivable are recorded at the estimated constrained lifetime values.

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides credit to customers in the ordinary course of business and believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect industry practices and business risk. The Company monitors economic conditions to identify facts or circumstances that may indicate that its receivables are at risk of collection. The Company provides an allowance against accounts receivable for estimated losses, if any, that may result from a customer’s inability to pay based on the composition of its accounts receivable, current economic conditions, and historical credit loss activity. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the allowance. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. During thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the Company wrote off an insignificant amount of uncollectible accounts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company wrote off $0.5 million of uncollectible accounts.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily by selling consumer referrals to its insurance provider customers, including insurance carriers, agents and indirect distributors. The Company also generates revenue from commission fees for the sale of policies, primarily in its automotive insurance vertical, and prior to its exit from health in 2023, in its health insurance vertical. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when collectibility of the consideration to which the Company is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer is determined to be probable. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less.

Referral Revenue

The Company recognizes referral revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by delivering the referrals to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those referrals.

Commission Revenue

The Company’s commission revenue consists of the estimated constrained lifetime values (the “constrained LTVs”) of commission payments that the Company expects to receive in its automotive insurance vertical, and prior to its exit from health, that it expected to receive in its health insurance vertical, on the sale of insurance policies to consumers and renewals of such policies. Commission revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation. The Company considers its performance obligation related to commissions for both the initial policy sale and future renewals of the policy to be satisfied upon submission of the policy application. Therefore, a significant portion of the commission revenue the Company records upon satisfaction of its performance obligation is paid by the Company’s insurance provider customer over a multi-year time frame as policyholders renew and pay the insurance provider for their policies. The current portion of commissions receivable consists of estimated commissions on new policies sold and estimated renewal commissions on policies expected to be renewed within one year, while the non-current portion of commissions receivable are commissions for estimated renewals expected to be renewed beyond one year. Commission revenue represented less than 10% of total revenue in each of thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Commission revenue from auto insurance carriers consists of constrained LTVs of commission payments the Company expects to receive for selling an insurance policy based on the effective date of the policy. The Company’s estimate of constrained LTVs is based on an analysis of historical commission payment trends for relevant policies to establish an expected lifetime value and incorporates management’s judgment in interpreting those trends to calculate LTVs and to apply constraints to such LTVs. The most significant factor impacting historical trends is average policy duration.

The Company applies a constraint to its estimated LTVs to only recognize the amount of variable consideration that it believes is probable that it will be entitled to receive and will not be subject to a significant revenue reversal in the future.

To the extent that commission payment trends change or the underlying factors impacting commission payments change, the Company’s estimate of constrained LTVs could be materially impacted. To the extent the Company makes changes to its estimates of constrained LTVs, it recognizes any material impact of the change to commission revenue in the reporting period in which the change is made, including revisions of estimated lifetime commissions either below or in excess of previously estimated constrained LTVs recognized as an adjustment to revenue and the related contract asset. The Company recognizes revenue for new policies by applying the latest estimated constrained LTV for that product.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company presents disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by distribution channel, as the distribution channel impacts the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue, and by vertical market segment. The Company’s direct distribution channel consists of insurance carriers and third-party agents. The Company’s indirect distribution channel consists of insurance aggregators and media networks who purchase referrals with the intent to resell. Revenue generated via the Company’s direct distribution channel is generally higher per referral than revenue generated by the Company’s indirect distribution channels and provides the Company with additional insights and data regarding insurance provider demand and referral performance.

Total revenue is comprised of revenue from the following distribution channels:

Total revenue is comprised of revenue from the following insurance verticals (in thousands):

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606 to expense incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, consisting of sales commissions, as incurred as the expected period of benefit of the sales commissions isone year or less. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had not capitalized any costs to obtain any of its contracts.

Deferred Revenue

Amounts received for referrals prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within 12 months of the balance sheet date are classified as current deferred revenue. Deferred revenue was $1.9 million as of December 31, 2023. During thenine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $1.3 million that was included in the contract liability balance (deferred revenue) at December 31, 2023. The Company recognizes revenue from deferred revenue by first allocating from the beginning deferred revenue balance to the extent that the beginning deferred revenue balance exceeds the revenue to be recognized. Amounts collected during the period are added to the deferred revenue balance.

Commissions Receivable

Commissions receivable are contract assets that represent estimated variable consideration for commissions to be received from insurance carriers for performance obligations that have been satisfied. The current portion of commissions receivable are estimated commissions expected to be received within one year, while the non-current portion of commissions receivable are expected to be received beyond one year.

The Company assesses impairment for uncollectible consideration when information available indicates it is probable that an asset has been impaired. There wereno impairments recorded during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. While the Company is exposed to credit losses due to the non-payment by insurance carriers, it considers the risk of this to be remote.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense consists of variable costs that are related to attracting consumers to the Company’s marketplace and generating consumer quote requests, including through its verified partner network, and promoting its marketplace to insurance carriers and agents. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and such costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, advertising expense totaled$100.6 million and $35.6 million, respectively. During thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, advertising expense totaled$241.5 million and $152.6 million, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (Topic 820), which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The guidance also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The guidance includes disclosure requirements including the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions included in the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of the restriction and circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption of the amendments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2024, and the adoption didnot have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

There wereno transfers into or out of Level 3 during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Money market funds were valued by the Company based on quoted market prices, which represent a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent consideration liabilities are valued by the Company using significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model in its estimates of the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the 2021 acquisition of Policy Fuel, LLC and its affiliated entities ("PolicyFuel"). The most significant assumptions and estimates utilized in the model included forecasted revenue (an acquisition specific input) and the market value of the Company’s Class A common stock (an observable input). Other assumptions utilized in the model included equity volatility, revenue volatility and discount rate. The Company assesses these assumptions and estimates on a quarterly basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to updated assumptions and estimates are recognized as acquisition-related costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities waszero at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

4. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. The Company considers its business to beone reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment analysis. To date, the Company has hadno impairments to goodwill.

There wereno changes to goodwill for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Acquired intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company updated its estimate of the remaining useful life of customer relationships from 6.6 years to 5 years. Amortization expense is being recognized over the revised remaining useful life. Future amortization expense of the remaining intangible assets as of September 30, 2024 is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

5. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

6. Loan and Security Agreement

The Company has availability to borrow up to $25.0 million under its revolving line of credit pursuant to the 2023 Amended Loan Agreement (defined as the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2020 between the Company and Western Alliance Bank (the "Lender"), as amended by the Loan and Security Modification Agreement dated as of July 15, 2022, as amended by the Loan and Security Modification Agreement dated as of August 1, 2023, as amended by the Loan and Security Modification Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2023, as amended by the Loan and Security Modification Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2024).

In an event of default, as defined in the 2023 Amended Loan Agreement, and until such event is no longer continuing, the annual interest rate to be charged would be the annual rate otherwise applicable to borrowings under the 2023 Amended Loan Agreement plus 5.00%.

Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and property. Under the 2023 Amended Loan Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain affirmative and negative covenants to which it will remain subject until maturity. The covenants include limitations on its ability to incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain fundamental business transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions of other businesses. In addition, under the 2023 Amended Loan Agreement and through the maturity date, the Company is required to maintain a minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 defined as the ratio of (1) the sum of (x) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held at the Lender plus (y) net accounts receivable reflected on the Company's balance sheet to (2) current liabilities, including all borrowings outstanding under the 2023 Amended Loan Agreement, but excluding the current portion of deferred revenue (in each case determined in accordance with GAAP). At any time the Adjusted Quick Ratio is less than 1.30 to 1.00, the Lender shall have the ability to use the Company's cash receipts to repay outstanding obligations until such time as the Adjusted Quick Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.30 to 1.00 for two consecutive months. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these covenants and hadno amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

2008 and 2018 Plans

The Company has outstanding awards under its 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2008 Plan”), but is no longer granting awards under this plan. Shares of common stock issued upon exercise of stock options granted prior to September 8, 2017 will be issued as either Class A common stock or Class B common stock. Shares of common stock issued upon exercise of stock options granted after September 8, 2017 will be issued as Class A common stock.

The Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan” and, together with the 2008 Plan, the “Plans”) provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan is the sum of 2,149,480 shares of Class A common stock, plus the number of shares (up to 5,028,832 shares) equal to the sum of (i) the 583,056 shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock that were available for grant under the 2008 Plan upon the effectiveness of the 2018 Plan and (ii) the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan that expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right (subject, in the case of incentive stock options, to any limitations of the Internal Revenue Code). The number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the 2018 Plan will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year until, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, equal to the lowest of (i)2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock; (ii)5% of the sum of the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding on the first day of such fiscal year; and (iii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. The shares of common stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, repurchased or are otherwise terminated by the Company under the 2018 Plan will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. The number of authorized shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan was increased by 1,708,925 shares effective as of January 1, 2024 in accordance with the provisions of the 2018 Plan described above. As of September 30, 2024,2,437,783 shares remained available for future grant under the 2018 Plan.

Options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted under the Plans vest over periods determined by the board of directors. Options granted under the Plans expire no later thanten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price for stock options granted is not less than the fair value of common shares based on quoted market prices. Certain of the Company’s RSUs are net settled by withholding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to cover statutory income taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 1,203,795 service-based RSUs with an aggregate grant date fair value of $22.0 million and 327,075 performance-based RSUs with an aggregate grant date fair value of $5.1 million under the 2018 Plan.

The RSUs were approved by the Company’s board of directors and were granted as an inducement material to the new employees entering into employment with the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4) (the “Inducement Awards”). The Inducement Awards were granted outside of the 2018 Plan.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories of its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation expense for RSUs and option awards was$28.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases office space under various non-cancelable operating leases. In April 2024, the Company entered into two agreements to lease office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts through December 2027 for fixed payments totaling $3.2 million through 2027, resulting in an increase to right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $2.7 million. In connection with the new Cambridge leases, the Company provided the landlords with security deposits of $0.3 million, which are included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In August 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease office space in Belfast, Northern Ireland through July 2027 for fixed payments totaling approximately $1.6 million through 2027, resulting in an increase to right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $1.3 million.

For additional information, please read Note 12, Leases, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Indemnification Agreements

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to third parties and enters into commitments and guarantees (“Agreements”) under which it may be required to make payments. The duration of these Agreements varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. Furthermore, many of these Agreements do not limit the Company’s maximum potential payment exposure.

In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.

Through September 30, 2024, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies

The Company is from time to time subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe, based on its current knowledge, that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties, and cannot be predicted with certainty. It is possible that an adverse outcome of any matter could be material to the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole for any particular reporting period of occurrence. In addition, it is possible that a matter may prompt litigation or additional investigations or proceedings by other government agencies or private litigants.

On May 15, 2024, Tim Presto, individually and in his capacity as Seller Representative of Ryan McClintock, Edward Hames and Tim Presto, the former equity owners (collectively, the “Sellers”) of Kanopy Insurance Center, LLC, One Eight Software, Inc., Parachute Insurance Services Corp., and Policy Fuel, LLC (collectively, the “Acquired Entities”), brought a civil action in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware against the Company alleging, among other things, breaches of the Equity Purchase Agreement governing the Company’s acquisition of the Sellers’ equity interests in the Acquired Entities (the “Purchase Agreement”). Among other claims, the Seller Representative alleges, principally, that the Sellers are entitled to payment in the form of a combination of common stock and performance stock units pursuant to the earnout provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, based on the Seller Representative's assertion that the Acquired Entities would have achieved certain revenue thresholds for the 12-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, absent the alleged breaches of the Purchase Agreement. The complaint generally seeks an unspecified amount of damages related to such claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit and believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted by the Seller Representative and that it complied with its contractual obligations under the Purchase Agreement in all respects. Nevertheless, because the case is still in the preliminary stages, the Company cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of this matter at this time or the effect that any adverse determinations the lawsuit may have on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

9. Retirement Plan

The Company has established a defined-contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan covers all employees who meet defined minimum age and service requirements, and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. As currently established, the Company is not required to make any contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company contributed $0.8 million and $0.2 million during thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.2 million and $0.7 million during thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

11. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder at any time. The Company allocates undistributed earnings attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on a one-to-one basis when computing net income (loss) per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are equivalent.

A reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and dilutive net income (loss) per common share computations are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on weighted average shares outstanding during the periods, from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect (in thousands):

The tables above do not include shares of Class A common stock issuable upon settlement of contingent consideration for the Company’s 2021 acquisition of PolicyFuel.
