Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)
- Organization
Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (“GSHD”) is the sole managing member of Goosehead Financial, LLC (“GF”) and has the sole voting power and control of management of GF. Accordingly, GSHD consolidates the financial results of GF and reports non-controlling interest in GSHD’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
GF was organized on January 1, 2016 as a Delaware Limited Liability Company and is headquartered in Westlake, TX.
GSHD (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) provides personal and commercial property and casualty insurance brokerage services for its clients through a network of corporate-owned agencies and franchise units across the nation.
The Company had 13 and 13 corporate-owned locations in operation at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Franchisees are provided access to Carrier Appointments, product training, technology infrastructure, client service centers and back office services. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company onboarded 30 and 30 franchise locations, respectively, and had 1,116 and 1,285 operating franchise locations as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial positions at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year. The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations of its revenue due to the timing of contingent commission revenue recognition and trends in housing market activity.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company elected to change its presentation of the cash flows associated with "Premiums payable" from operating activities to present them as financing activities, net, within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows within the caption "Customer premiums, net". Comparative amounts have been recast to conform to current period presentation. This reclassification had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded loss on remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement ("TRA") liability within "Tax (benefit) expense". For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, those amounts have been reclassified to Other income (expense) within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. This reclassification had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)
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, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates as more information becomes known.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and reflect amounts paid for the Company’s web domain, computer software costs, and purchased books of business (customer accounts). The web domain is amortized over a useful life offifteen years, computer software costs are amortized over a useful life ofthree toten years, and books of business (customer accounts) are amortized over a useful life ofeight years.
Asset Impairment
The Company reviews all of its identifiable assets for impairment periodically and whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing identifiable assets, if the undiscounted future cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the respective assets, an indicator of impairment would exist, and further analysis would be required to determine whether or not a loss would need to be charged against current period earnings as a component of general and administrative expenses.
Based on a review of tangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company identifiedone office lease that would be subleased and completed a recoverability assessment for assets at that location. Based on the results of the recoverability assessment, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows of the assets were below their carrying values. As a result, the Company compared the fair values of the assets to their carrying values and recorded an impairment expense of $0.1 million for property and equipment and $0.2 million for right-of-use asset for the amount the carrying values exceeded the fair values. The Company determined the fair values by estimating sublease cash flows based on market rates for similar properties and discounted them using the Company's internal borrowing rate.
Based on a review of intangible assets during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified a group of internally-developed software assets that had not been placed into service and will not be completed. As a result, the Company determined the assets had no fair value and recorded an impairment expense of $1.1 million related to the asset group.
Based on a review of tangible assets during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company identifiedtwo office leases that would be subleased and completed a recoverability assessment for assets at those locations. Based on the results of the recoverability assessment, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows of the assets were below their carrying values. As a result, the Company compared the fair values of the assets to their carrying values and recorded an impairment expense of $1.4 million for property and equipment and $1.1 million for right-of-use asset for the amount the carrying values exceeded the fair values. The Company determined the fair values by estimating sublease cash flows based on market rates for similar properties and discounted them using the Company's internal borrowing rate.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company holds premiums received from the insured, but not yet remitted to the Carrier, in a fiduciary capacity. Premiums received but not yet remitted included in restricted cash were $2.6 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments require enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items, provide for the disclosure of additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker, require that all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets be included in interim periods, and provide new segment reporting requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This standard requires the Company to provide further disaggregated income tax disclosures for specific categories on the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as additional information about federal, state/local and foreign income taxes. The standard also requires the Company to annually disclose its income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied on a prospective basis, although optional retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

- Revenue
Commissions and fees
The Company earns commissions, which are paid as a percentage of the policy premiums placed by the Company, by performing its obligation to identify, place, and make effective insurance coverage on behalf of its customer, the insured. The Company defines the term of the policy as the contractual period the policy provides insurance coverage to the insured, which is typically one year or less. Commissions earned for the placement of the initial policy term for a given insurance product are recorded as New Business Commissions. New Business Commissions are earned at a point in time on the effective date of the policy, which is when the customer’s unilateral right to cancel the policy without consideration expires, as the Company has no further performance obligations for the initial term once the policy is placed and made effective.
After the initial policy term for a given insurance product, the Company earns Renewal Commissions by assisting the customer to make effective a renewal policy that satisfies the customer’s current insurance coverage needs. The Company performs this obligation by monitoring the customer’s policy to ensure a renewal is offered by the carrier and that the client promptly pays the premium. Alternatively, based on the needs of the customer, the Company may assist the customer to adjust coverage terms to satisfy its current insurance coverage needs or the Company may assist the customer to re-shop the insurance coverage to identify, place, and make effective a policy that better meets those needs. Renewal Commissions are earned at a point in time upon the effective date of the renewal policy term or upon the effective date of the replacement policy identified, placed, and made effective for the customer, which is when the customer’s unilateral right to non-renew the policy expires, as the Company has no further performance obligations for that renewal policy term.
The transaction price for commissions revenue is set as an estimate of the variable consideration to be received for the current policy term. This estimate includes the fixed consideration due based on the contractual terms of the current policy and adjustments for estimates of modifications of the contractual terms of the current policy and/or termination of the policy before the end of the current term. This variable consideration is constrained to the extent that it is probable there will not be a significant reversal of revenue.
For Agency Fees, the Company enters into a contract with the insured, in which the Company's performance obligation is to place an insurance policy. The transaction price of the agency fee is set at the time the sale is agreed upon, and is included in the contract. Agency Fee revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is the effective date of the policy.
Contingent commission revenue is generated from contracts between the Company and insurance carriers, for which the Company is compensated for certain growth, profitability, or other performance-based metrics. The performance obligations for contingent commissions will vary by contract, but generally include the Company increasing profitable written premium with the insurance carrier. The transaction price for contingent commissions is estimated based on all available information and is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations, as the underlying policies are placed, net of a constraint.
The Company must estimate the amount of consideration that will be received such that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. Contingent commissions represent a form of variable consideration associated with the placement and profitability of coverage, for which we earn commissions. Contingent commissions are estimated, with a constraint applied, and accrued in relation to the satisfaction of the performance obligations for the period over which the contract applies. The resulting effect on the timing of recognizing contingent commissions closely follows a similar pattern as our commissions and fees with any adjustments recognized when payments are received or as additional information that affects the estimate becomes available.
Franchise revenues
Franchise revenues include initial franchise fees and ongoing new and renewal royalty fees from franchisees.
Revenue from Initial Franchise Fees is generated from a contract between the Company and a franchisee. The Company's performance obligation is to provide initial training, onboarding, ongoing support and use of the Company's business operations over the period of the franchise agreement. The transaction price is set by the franchise agreement and revenue is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations.
Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)
Initial franchise fees are recognized as revenue over the 10-year life of the franchise contract, beginning on the start date of the contract.
Revenue from New and Renewal Royalty Fees is recorded by applying the sales- and usage-based royalties exception. Under the sales- and usage-based exception, the Company recognizes revenue over time as a franchise places and makes effective a policy for an insured. The transaction price for the royalty fee for each policy made effective is set as the contractual royalty rate multiplied byan estimate of the commissions to be received by the franchise for the current term of the policy. This estimate includes the fixed consideration due based on the contractual terms of the current policy and adjustments for estimates of modifications of the contractual terms of the current policy and/or termination of the policy before the end of the current term. This variable consideration is constrained to the extent that it is probable there will not be a significant reversal of revenue.
Contract costs
Additionally, the Company has evaluated ASC Topic 340 - Other Assets and Deferred Cost (“ASC 340”) which requires companies to defer certain incremental cost to obtain customer contracts, and certain costs to fulfill customer contracts.
Incremental cost to obtain - The Company defers certain costs to obtain customer contracts primarily as they relate to commission-based compensation plans for selling new franchise agreements. These incremental costs are deferred and amortized over a 10-year period, which is consistent with the term of the contract. The balance of cost to obtain is included with Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Costs to fulfill - The Company has evaluated the need to capitalize costs to fulfill customer contracts and has determined that there are no costs that meet the definition for capitalization under ASC 340.

- Debt
On July 21, 2021, the Company refinanced its $25 million revolving credit facility and $80 million term note payable to a $50 million revolving credit facility and $100 million term note payable in order to obtain a more favorable interest rate on the outstanding debt. The revolving credit facility and term note are collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions and royalties.
On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which provided that LIBOR should be replaced with SOFR.
On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, increasing the term note payable by $25 million and increasing the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $25 million to a total capacity of $75 million.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company hadnothing drawn against the revolving credit facility and had a letter of credit of $0.2 million applied against the maximum borrowing availability. Thus, amounts available to draw totaled $74.8 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are payable on July 21, 2026. The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $2.5 million, with a balloon payment of $80.5 million on July 21, 2026.
The interest rate applicable to both the revolving credit facility and the term note for each leverage ratio tier is as follows:
| Leverage Ratio | Interest Rate |
|---|---|
| < 1.50x | SOFR + 175 bps |
| > 1.50x | SOFR + 200 bps |
| > 2.50x | SOFR + 225 bps |
| > 3.50x | SOFR + 250 bps |
As of September 30, 2024, the interest rate applicable for the credit facilities was SOFR plus 200 basis points.

| 2026 | 83,015 |
| 2027 | — |
| 2028 | — |
| Total | $95,594 |
The Company’s note payable agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants. Under these restrictions, the Company is limited in the amount of debt incurred and distributions payable. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's maximum allowable trailing twelve months debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit agreement, was 4 x. In addition, the credit agreement contains certain change of control provisions that, if broken, would trigger a default. Finally, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Because of both instruments’ variable interest rate, the note payable balance at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximates fair value using Level 2 inputs, described below.
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets.
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset.
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
- Income Taxes
GSHD is the sole managing member of GF, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, GF is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by GF is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including GSHD, on a pro rata basis. GSHD is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to GSHD's allocable share of income of GF.
Income tax (benefit) expense
Provision expense from income taxes was $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in tax expense and effective tax rate were primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income. Tax benefit was $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to tax expense of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was (15)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 14% for
Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)
the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in tax (benefit) expense and effective tax rate were primarily due to changes in state apportionment and related state filing requirements.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets at September 30, 2024 were $190.4 million compared to $181.2 million at December 31, 2023. The primary contributing factors to the increase in deferred tax assets are additional redemptions of LLC Units of GF for shares of Class A common stock of GSHD during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and an increase in the blended state tax rate due to changes in state apportionment and related state filing requirements.
Tax Receivable Agreement
GF intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Units and corresponding Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock occurs. Future taxable redemptions or exchanges are expected to result in tax basis adjustments to the assets of GF that will be allocated to the Company and thus produce favorable tax attributes. These tax attributes would not be available to GSHD in the absence of those transactions. The anticipated tax basis adjustments are expected to reduce the amount of tax that GSHD would otherwise be required to pay in the future.
GSHD entered into a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") with the Pre-IPO LLC Members on May 1, 2018 that provides for the payment by GSHD to the Pre-IPO LLC Members of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that GSHD actually realizes as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in GSHD's assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, an aggregate of 25,700 and 231,829 LLC Units were redeemed by the Pre-IPO LLC Members for newly issued shares of Class A common stock. In connection with these redemptions, GSHD received 25,700 and 231,829 LLC Units, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of its investment in GF subject to the provisions of the tax receivable agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the redemptions of LLC Units, after concluding it was probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on its estimates of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2024, the total amount of TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members under the tax receivable agreement was $160.7 million, of which $4.9 million was current and included in Liabilities under tax receivable agreement within Current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Future exchanges of LLC Units for Class A common stock will result in additional TRA payments. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company's effective tax rate increased due to changes in state apportionment and related state filing requirements. This resulted in a remeasurement of its TRA liability of $6.7 million, which has been reported in "Other income (expense)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Uncertain tax positions
GSHD has determined there areno material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024.

- Stockholders' Equity
Class A Common Stock
GSHD has a total of 24,369 thousand shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at September 30, 2024. Each share of Class A common stock holds economic rights and entitles its holder toone vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD.
Class B Common Stock
GSHD has a total of 12,722 thousand shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at September 30, 2024. Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder toone vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD.
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to GSHD's shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law, by agreement, or by GSHD's certificate of incorporation.
Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") based on net income attributable to GSHD for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023(in thousands, except per share amounts).
Diluted EPS of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to GSHD by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.
Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock are, however, considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock because shares of Class B common stock, together with the related GF LLC Units, are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock on aone-for-one basis. The Company calculates the effects of the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares using the "if-converted" method and includes such effects in the calculation of diluted EPS if the effects are dilutive.

(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the impact of the conversion of Class B common shares to Class A common shares calculated under the if-converted method was dilutive, and as such, (a)12,733 and 12,782 common shares (assuming the conversion of all outstanding class B common stock) were included in Weighted average outstanding Class A common shares - Diluted and (b) $3.6 million and $6.7 million of non-controlling interest net income (after incremental tax effect from assuming conversion of all outstanding class B common stock), was added back to Net income attributable to GSHD - Basic to arrive at Net income available to GSHD - diluted. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the impact of the conversion of Class B common shares to Class A common shares is excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS because inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.
(2) Dilutive stock options is computed using the treasury stock method, which are not participating securities.751 and 1,098 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.1,055 and 1,800 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Share Repurchase Program
On April 24, 2024, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $100 million of our Class A common stock through March 31, 2025. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the discretion of management in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. Class A common stock acquired under the program will be retired upon repurchase. Additionally, for every repurchased share of

Class A common stock, the Company will direct GF to repurchase, at the price paid to repurchase such share, and cancel an LLC unit of GF held by the Company.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the company repurchased and retired 0 and 1,045 thousand shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate of $0 and $63.5 million.

- Non-controlling interest
GSHD is the sole managing member of GF and, as a result, it consolidates the financial results of GF. GSHD reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in GF held by the other members of GF.
GF makes distributions to the LLC Unit holders on a pro rata basis to facilitate the LLC Unit holder's quarterly tax payments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, GF made distributions of $6.0 million and $12.5 million, of which $2.1 million and $4.3 million was made to Pre-IPO LLC Members. The remaining $3.9 million and $8.2 million was made to GSHD and was eliminated in consolidation.
Under the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement, the Pre-IPO LLC Members have the right, from and after the completion of the Offering (subject to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement), to require GSHD to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at GSHD's election, newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on aone-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of GSHD's Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a Pre-IPO LLC Member, GSHD may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on aone-for-one basis if GSHD, at the election of a Pre-IPO LLC Member, redeems or exchanges LLC Units of such Pre-IPO LLC Member pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Except for transfers to GSHD pursuant to the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement or to certain permitted transferees, the Pre-IPO LLC Members are not permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any LLC Units or shares of Class B common stock.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, an aggregate of 26 thousand and 232 thousand LLC Units were redeemed by the non-controlling interest holders. Pursuant to the GF LLC Agreement, GSHD issued 26 thousand and 232 thousand shares of Class A common stock in connection with these redemptions and received 26 thousand and 232 thousand LLC Interests, increasing GSHD's ownership interest in GF. Simultaneously, and in connection with these redemptions,26 thousand and 232 thousand shares of Class B common stock were surrendered and cancelled.
The following table summarizes the ownership interest in GF as of September 30, 2024(in thousands):
| September 30, 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)
- Equity-Based Compensation
Stock option expense was $7.1 million and $21.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Stock option expense was $6.5 million and $19.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
- Litigation
From time to time, GSHD may be involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of the Company's business. The Company records accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made. In the opinion of the Company's management, the likely results of any ongoing legal matters are not expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 10, 2022, a verified stockholder class action complaint for declaratory relief, captioned Mickey Dollens v. Goosehead Insurance, Inc., C.A. No. 2022-1018-JTL, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Dollens Action”), alleging certain corporate governance documents adopted by the Company were invalid under Delaware law. On August 8, 2023, the parties entered into a proposed settlement providing for certain non-monetary benefits to the class (i.e., revisions to the Company's Stockholder Agreement). Additionally, the plaintiffs have petitioned the Court for attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The matter is currently stayed. While there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of the petition, the Company believes a potential loss, if any, would not be material.
