Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)

  1. 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 noncontrolling 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 14 and 14 corporate-owned locations in operation at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Franchisees are provided access to Carrier Appointments, product training, technology infrastructure, client service centers and back office services. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company onboarded 36 and 25 franchise locations, respectively, and had 1,098 and 1,155 operating franchise locations as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. No franchises were purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  1. 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 balance sheets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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, 2024.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 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 Statements 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". Those amounts have been reclassified to Other income (expense) within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This reclassification had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.

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.

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 (benefit) 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 $2.4 million and $2.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024(in thousands):

March 31,
20252024
Cash and cash equivalents$70,208$51,089
Restricted cash2,3632,028
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash$72,571$53,117

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)

The Company earns interest on its cash balance that is held in interest-bearing checking accounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company recognized $0.9 million in interest income within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No interest income was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. 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.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Suptopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendment requires additional disclosures of certain costs and expenses with the notes to the financial statements. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Suptopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified that the updates are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)

  1. 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.

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.

On January 8, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "2025 Credit Agreement") providing for an aggregate $300 million term notes payable (the "2025 Initial Term Loan") and $75 million revolving credit facility (the "2025 Revolving Credit Facility"). The 2025 Initial Term Loan matures on January 8, 2032 and the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility matures on January 8, 2030. This credit agreement replaces the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was repaid with the proceeds of the 2025 Initial Term Loan and terminated. The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $0.8 million, with a balloon payment of $279.8 million on January 8, 2032. The 2025 Credit Agreement is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company except for certain excluded assets.

The Company recorded $6.8 million of debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to the 2025 Initial Term Loan within Notes Payable and $1.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility within Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company hadnothing drawn against the revolving credit facility and had $75.0 million available to draw.

The 2025 Initial Term Loan will bear interest at a rate of Term SOFR plus 3.50%. The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at Term SOFR plus 225 basis points through June 30, 2025, and after which bear interest based onleverage ratio tiers as follows:

Leverage RatioInterest Rate
< 1.50xSOFR + 175 bps
≥ 1.50xSOFR + 200 bps
≥ 2.50xSOFR + 225 bps
≥ 3.50xSOFR + 250 bps

The 2025 Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants. Under these covenants, the Company is limited in the amount of additional debt incurred and distributions payable. The Company's maximum allowable trailing twelve months debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by the 2025 Credit Agreement, is 5 x. Additionally, the 2025 Credit Agreement contains certain change of control provisions that, if breached, would trigger a default. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Because of both instruments’ variable interest rate, the note payable balance at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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.

  1. 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

Tax benefit was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to tax benefit of $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate was (176)% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 127% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in tax benefit and effective tax rate were primarily due to changes in state apportionment and related state filing requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets at March 31, 2025 were $200.6 million compared to $193.5 million at December 31, 2024. 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 three months ended March 31, 2025.

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 months ended March 31, 2025, an aggregate of 144,833 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 144,833 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 March 31, 2025, the total amount of TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members under the tax receivable agreement was $164.6 million, of which $7.0 million was current and included in Liabilities under tax receivable agreement within Current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Future exchanges of LLC Units for Class A common stock will result in additional TRA payments. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 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 Statements of Operations.

Uncertain tax positions

GSHD has determined there areno material uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2025.

  1. Stockholders' Equity

Class A Common Stock

GSHD has a total of 25,055 thousand shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at March 31, 2025. 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 12,475 thousand shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at March 31, 2025. 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.

Correction of Prior Period Balances

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company determined that it did not properly apply the guidance under ASC 810-10-45-23 in determining the allocation of activity related to the exercise of stock options, equity-based compensation, activity under employee stock purchase plan, and redemption of LLC Units. The Company also identified an error in the recording of deferred tax adjustments related to Tax Receivable Agreement. The net impact of these misstatements was an overstatement of additional paid-in capital, an understatement of accumulated deficit, and an understatement of noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. As a result, the Company restated the prior period financial statements to correct the errors. Additionally, the Company has changed the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity presentation to reflect the reallocation of noncontrolling interest within the specific line items resulting in reallocation instead of as a separate line item.

The Company evaluated the materiality of these misstatements from quantitative and qualitative perspectives and concluded the misstatements are not material to the prior periods. The amounts previously reported within the Company’s financial statements have been revised to reflect the corrected balances as presented below (in thousands):

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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024(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 months ended March 31, 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)12,864 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) $0.2 million of noncontrolling 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 months ended March 31, 2025, 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.335 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2025 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.967 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024 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, which expired on March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company didnot repurchase shares of Class A common stock.

Subsequent event

On April 23, 2025, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $100 million of our Class A common stock through May 1, 2026. 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.

  1. Noncontrolling interest

GSHD is the sole managing member of GF and, as a result, it consolidates the financial results of GF. GSHD reports a noncontrolling 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 months ended March 31, 2025, GF didnot make any tax distributions.

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 months ended March 31, 2025, an aggregate of 145 thousand LLC Units were redeemed by the noncontrolling interest holders. Pursuant to the GF LLC Agreement, GSHD issued 145 thousand shares of Class A common stock in connection with these redemptions and received 145 thousand LLC Interests, increasing GSHD's ownership interest in GF. Simultaneously, and in connection with these redemptions,145 thousand shares of Class B common stock were surrendered and cancelled.

The following table summarizes the ownership interest in GF(in thousands):

March 31, 2025

Number of LLC Units held by GSHD25,05566.8%
Number of LLC Units held by noncontrolling interest holders12,47533.2%
Number of LLC Units outstanding37,530100.0%

The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income to GSHD and the noncontrolling interest holders. The noncontrolling interest holders' weighted average ownership percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 33.7%.

  1. Equity-Based Compensation

Stock option expense was $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Stock option expense was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

  1. Dividends

On January 9, 2025, GF declared a special distribution of $175 million, which was paid in cash on January 31, 2025 to holders of record of LLC Units, including to GSHD, as of the close of business on January 21, 2025. The special distribution resulted in a payment of $59 million to our noncontrolling interest holders. On January 9, 2025, the board of directors of the Company declared a one-time special cash dividend of $5.91 to all holders of Class A common stock of GSHD as of the close of business on January 21, 2025, which was paid in cash on January 31, 2025 for a total of $146 million. $1.22 of the special cash dividend was funded by cash received by GSHD from prior tax distributions from GF that were in excess of the corporate income taxes payable by GSHD. The remaining $4.69 of the special cash dividend was funded by the cash received by the Company from the special distribution by GF.

Any future special cash dividends will be declared at the sole discretion of GF's managing members, with respect to GF, and the Company's board of directors, with respect to GSHD. In determining whether a future special cash dividend will be declared by the Company, the board of directors may, at its sole discretion, consider the following: the Company's financial condition and operating results, the Company's available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, the Company's capital requirements, any contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, general economic and business conditions, and such other factors or conditions as the board of directors deems relevant.

  1. Segment Information

The Company is organized into a single reportable segment: insurance distribution. The insurance distribution segment provides clients with access to home, auto, umbrella, motorcycle, flood, and other ancillary insurance products. The Company derives its revenue entirely from within the United States and manages business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer.

The accounting policies of the insurance distribution segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker uses net income, as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, to assess performance and allocate resources for the insurance distribution segment. The significant segment expense categories regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker are the same as those included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is total assets as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The chief operating decision maker uses net income to assess performance by examining period-over-period trends, benchmarking to the Company's competitors, and monitoring budget versus actual results. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for share repurchases or dividends.

  1. 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 losses, 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.
