As of March 31, 2025, we had $309.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $676.1 million in investments. From the date we commenced operations, we have generated negative cash flows from operations, and we have financed our operations primarily through private and public sales of equity securities and third party financing. Our principal sources of funds are insurance premiums, investment income, reinsurance recoveries and proceeds from maturity and sale of invested assets. These funds are primarily used to pay claims, operating expenses and taxes. In June 2023, we entered into an Agreement with GC, where up to $150 million of financing was provided for our sales and marketing growth efforts through December 31, 2024. The Agreement was amended and restated in January 2024, pursuant to which an additional financing of $140 million will be provided for our sales and marketing growth efforts through December 31, 2025, and was further amended and restated in April 2024 and June 2024 to clarify certain provisions and all material terms and conditions remain unchanged. On February 3, 2025, the Agreement was further amended in which GC will provide up to an additional $200 million of financing for our sales and marketing growth efforts from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2025, we had $101.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Agreement with GC. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months. This belief is subject, to a certain extent, on general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

Gross written premium increased $106.9 million, or 25%, to $538.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a 24% increase in net added customers year over year driven by the success of our digital advertising campaigns and partnerships. We also continued to expand our geographic footprint and product offerings. We also saw a 4% increase in premium per customer year over year primarily due to an increasing prevalence of multiple policies per customer, growth in the overall average policy value, and continued shift in the mix of underlying products toward higher value policies. Assumed premium related to car insurance policies written in Texas from our fronting arrangement with a third party carrier in Texas also contributed to the increase in gross written premium during the period.
