Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  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 property and casualty 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 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 credit facility.

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.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 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 March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 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, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 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 March 31, 2026 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been made. The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 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 receivable, the expensing and capitalization of website and software development costs, stock-based compensation expense 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 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, primarily in the automotive industry. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, one customer represented 40% of total revenue. For thethree months ended March 31, 2025, two customers represented 43% and 13% of total revenue, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, three customers accounted for 30%,17% and 17% of accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31,2025, two customers accounted for 36% and 11% of accounts receivable, respectively.

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 are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The Company's cash equivalents included money market funds of $15.4 million and $15.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which were valued based on quoted market prices, representing a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. 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. There wereno transfers into or out of Level 3 during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $0.1 million. During each of thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company wrote off insignificant amounts 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. Prior to the sale of certain carrier contracts in May 2025, the Company also generated revenue from commission fees for the sale of policies, primarily in its automotive insurance vertical as part of its direct to consumer agency. In May 2025, the Company sold the right to receive commissions under its remaining property and casualty carrier contracts related to its direct to consumer agency to settle a litigation matter (see Note 3).

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.

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.

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:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Direct channels90%91%
Indirect channels10%9%
100%100%

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

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Automotive$172,386$152,715
Home and renters18,46613,904
Other—13
Total revenue$190,852$166,632

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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 $1.7 million as of December 31,2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized revenue of $1.3 million that was included in the contract liability balance (deferred revenue) at December 31, 2025. 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.

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, advertising expense totaled$135.0 million and$119.8 million, respectively.

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 reported 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) to introduce a practical expedient to calculating current expected credit loss by assuming that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. This expedient can only be applied to current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those annual periods, and this update is applied prospectively. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2026 and applied the practical expedient to assets within its scope. The adoptiondid not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) to improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 allows for adoption using either a prospective or retrospective method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The amendments can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

  1. Loan and Security Agreement

On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) among the Company, as borrower, Western Alliance Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders (the “Agent”) and as a lender itself, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $60.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit. Subject to customary terms and conditions (including the absence of any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement), the Company shall have the right, from time to time, to request incremental revolving commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed up to $25.0 million during the term of the Credit Agreement. Availability under the Credit Agreement will terminate on August 1, 2028 (the “Revolving Commitment Period”), and all outstanding revolving loans must be paid on or before such date. The Company will pay a commitment fee of 0.075% per annum on the average daily unused portion of commitments under the Credit Agreement during the Revolving Commitment Period.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Revolving Facility cannot exceed 85% of eligible accounts receivable balances. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a per annum rate equal to (i) an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate for a one-month tenor (“Term SOFR”) plus 2.10% or (ii) the higher of the “prime rate” quoted in The Wall Street Journal, the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System plus 0.50%, or Term SOFR plus 1.00% (“ABR”), plus 1.10%. The Company may elect, from time to time, to convert all or any part of our Term SOFR loans to ABR loans or to convert all or any part of the ABR loans to Term SOFR loans. In an event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and until such event is no longer continuing, the annual interest rate to be charged will be the annual rate otherwise applicable to borrowings at such time plus 2.00%.

Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and property. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements to which it will remain subject until maturity. The covenants include limitations on its ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay cash dividends, and engage in certain fundamental business transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions of other businesses. In addition, under the Credit Agreement and through the maturity date, for any period the Company does not maintain a minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio of 1.30 to 1.00, defined as the ratio of (1) the sum of (x) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held at the Lenders plus (y) net accounts receivable reflected on the Company's balance sheet (excluding accounts receivable that are more than 90 days past due, intercompany receivables, and receivables subject to dispute) to (2) current liabilities, including all borrowings outstanding under Credit Agreement, but excluding the current portion of deferred revenue (in each case determined substantially in accordance with GAAP), the Agent 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 March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its covenants and hadno amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Share Repurchase Program

On July 22, 2025, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $50.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock forone year from the board approval date. Share repurchases under the $50.0 million program may be made from time to time on the open market, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or by other legally permissible means. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time, without prior notice. Repurchased shares are immediately retired and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

On August 11, 2025, the Company repurchased 900,000 shares of Class A common stock under the program in a negotiated transaction with a related party at a purchase price of $23.33 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $21.0 million (see Note 10).

  1. 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 automatically increases on the first day of each fiscal year until, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, by an amount 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 1,812,320 shares effective as of January 1, 2026 in accordance with the provisions of the 2018 Plan described above. As of March 31, 2026,4,179,800 shares remained available for future grant under the 2018 Plan.

Option awards and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards 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.

Stock Option Activity

The Company didnot grant common stock options during either of thethree months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

  1. Income Taxes

The Company records income tax expense by applying its estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income before income taxes, and adjusting for discrete items occurring in the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from period to period, generally based on factors such as changes in forecasts and year-to-date results.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5.7 million related primarily to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for 2026, which has been applied to income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, varied from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by U.S. federal research and development tax credits.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $0.7 million of income tax expense consisting primarily of state income taxes. Until the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
