Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trupanion, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 26, 2024 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

| Description of the Matter | The Company’s reserve for veterinary invoices totaled $63.2 million as of December 31, 2023. As discussed in Note 1 and Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company’s reserve for veterinary invoices is based on an actuarial analysis of the Company’s historical experience where the Company makes assumptions to estimate the amount the Company will pay for veterinary invoices that haven't been processed or received but that are dated as of, or prior to, its balance sheet date. The estimate of veterinary invoice reserves is subject to a number of variables, including historical trends involving payment patterns and amounts.Auditing the Company’s reserve for veterinary invoices is complex and required the involvement of our actuarial specialists due to the sensitivity of the estimated reserve to management's assumptions. Estimating the ultimate cost to settle the veterinary invoice reserve is subjective due to the possibility that the actual veterinary invoice payments may not be comparable to historical trends experienced by the Company. |

| How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | To evaluate the reserve for veterinary invoices, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the historical veterinary paid invoice data used in management's actuarial projections. We involved our actuarial specialists to assist in our evaluation of management’s methodologies and assumptions used in the calculation of the reserve and compared the Company’s recorded reserve to a range of reasonable estimates developed independently by our actuarial specialists. |
