Current report

Late in the first quarter of 2024, a Texas hailstorm resulted in approximately $17.5 million of gross losses. During the second quarter of 2024, a large hurricane-like windstorm affected Houston with straight-line and long-lived winds up to 100 miles per hour. This event resulted in approximately $25 million of gross losses. This sort of event impacts Houston at this level of severity once in every 10 years. In July 2024, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas as a category 1 hurricane and impacted the Houston area, where HOA writes policies. We are currently in the process of assessing the financial impact of Hurricane Beryl.

Current report

We recently completed a contribution of a total of 18.3 million newly issued shares of our common stock to HOA. The contribution was completed across two issuances: 13.8 million shares on July 31, 2024, and 4.5 million shares on June 26, 2024. This contribution supports the planned transition of Porch’s insurance underwriting business to a reciprocal exchange and helps to bolster HOA’s balance sheet strength and rating after Texas May weather impacted surplus. In addition, the contribution increases HOA’s long-term surplus position, which better positions HOA for any future third party surplus note capital raise, and is expected to support premium growth in 2025 and beyond. Should Porch’s share price increase going forward, this would grow HOA’s surplus, thereby supporting higher premium levels. While this increases HOA’s surplus, there is no GAAP impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Current report

•Non-catastrophe gross loss ratio improved 14 percentage points from the prior year, driven by premium per policy increases and non-renewal of higher risk policies in insurance.

Current report

•Effective April 1, 2024, we combined our three quota share reinsurance programs into one program covering all our business in all states and renewed all reinsurance programs.

Current report

Provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts. In the second quarter of 2023, we charged to provision for doubtful accounts approximately $48.2 million of reinsurance balance due from a reinsurer as described in Note 10 of the unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In the second quarter of 2024, we reduced the provision for doubtful accounts related to Vesttoo by $1.1 million after experiencing improvement in loss reserves.

Current report

Change in fair value of derivatives. The fair value of the derivatives changed more in the three months ended June 30, 2024, than in the three months ended June 30, 2023. The value is driven by various factors, including the fair value of the underlying debt and assumptions regarding timing of possible repurchase events. See Note 4 in the unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Current report

Gain on extinguishment of debt. In connection with the issuance of the 2028 Notes and partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes, we recognized an $81.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2023. There was no corresponding debt extinguishments during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

The decrease in Vertical Software segment revenue was primarily driven by the decline of our corporate relocation business, within move-related transactions, and was partially offset by price increase in our SaaS businesses, within software and service subscriptions.

Current report

Vertical Software Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) was $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, which improved compared to prior year due to pricing increases and strong cost control, including a reduction in workforce and stronger emphasis on our more profitable services in our moving businesses.

Current report

Corporate expenses were $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, a $1.5 million decrease from the same period in the prior year due to a concerted effort to lower professional fees. Corporate expenses decreased to 11% of total revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, from 14% in the same period in the prior year.

Current report

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024, compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Current report

Revenue. The overall 22% increase in year-to-date revenue compared to the same period last year was primarily driven by the 35%, or $43.1 million, increase in revenue in our Insurance segment as a result of an increase in average premium per policy and lower reinsurance ceding partially offset by a reduction in policies in force.

Current report

Cost of revenue. The 26% increase in year-to-date cost of revenue was primarily the result of more extreme weather in the current period along with the reduction in reinsurance ceding in the Insurance Segment. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue represented 74% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with 71% in the same period of 2023.

Current report

Provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts. In the second quarter of 2023, we charged to provision for doubtful accounts approximately $48.2 million of reinsurance balance due from a reinsurer as described in Note 10 of the unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the six month ended June 30, 2024, we reduced the provision for doubtful accounts related to Vesttoo by $1.1 million after experiencing improvement in loss reserves.

Current report

Impairment loss on intangible assets and goodwill. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $55.2 million in our Insurance segment and a $2.0 million impairment charge on intangible assets in our Vertical Software segment. These impairments follow a sustained decrease in stock price, increased costs due to inflationary pressures, hardening of the reinsurance markets, volatile weather, and a deterioration of the macroeconomic environment in the housing and real estate and insurance industries. There were no impairment losses on intangible assets and goodwill in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

Change in fair value of derivatives. The fair value of the derivatives changed more in the six months ended June 30, 2024, than in the three months ended June 30, 2023, as the current year includes a full six months of change whereas the prior year includes only the period of time after the 2028 Notes were issued in April 2023. The value is driven by various factors, including the fair value of the underlying debt and assumptions regarding timing of possible repurchase events. See Note 4 in the unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Vertical Software segment revenue was $60.1 million or 27% of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Vertical Software segment revenue was $63.1 million or 34% of total revenue. The decrease in Vertical Software segment revenue was primarily driven by the decline of our corporate relocation business, within move-related transaction, and was partially offset by price increase in our SaaS businesses, within software and service subscriptions.

Current report

Insurance segment revenue was $166.2 million or 73% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Insurance segment revenue was $123.1 million or 66% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is mainly driven by lower reinsurance ceding and as a 28% increase in Annualized Premium per Policy. These were partially offset by a reduction in policies in force.

Current report

Our Insurance segment had a Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) of $(30.2) million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $(38.4) million in the same period last year. The improvement over the same period last year was a result of lower non-catastrophic losses and our insurance profitability actions, including premium per policy increases of 28%, increasing deductibles, non-renewal of higher risk policies, and introducing coverage exclusions for select risks. These improvements were partially offset by the effects of extreme weather events. See Note 10 in the unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for tabular presentation of premiums and net losses.

Current report

Vertical Software Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) was $5.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, which improved compared to prior year due to pricing increases and strong cost control, including a reduction in workforce and stronger emphasis on our more profitable services in our moving businesses.

Current report

Corporate expenses were $27.3 million in the current year-to-date period, a $0.8 million decrease from the same period in the prior year due to successful cost reduction efforts across the company. Corporate expenses decreased to 12% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from 15% in the same period in the prior year.

Current report

We recently completed a contribution of a total of 18.3 million newly issued shares of our common stock to HOA. The contribution was completed across two issuances: 13.8 million shares on July 31, 2024, and 4.5 million shares on June 26, 2024.

In addition, the contribution increases HOA’s long-term surplus position, which better positions HOA for any future third party surplus note capital raise, and is expected to support premium growth in 2025 and beyond. Should Porch’s share price increase going forward, this would grow HOA’s surplus, thereby supporting higher premium levels. While the shares contributed to HOA have been issued and are outstanding, as provided under Delaware law, these shares will neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorom purposes so long as HOA (or any successor transferee) holds the shares and is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Porch or is otherwise controlled, directly or indirectly, by Porch. For accounting purposes, the shares contributed to HOA are considered treasury stock because HOA is a subsidiary that is included in our consolidated financial results. While this increases HOA’s surplus, there is no GAAP impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As a result of its findings, and in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreement, HOA terminated the associated contract on August 4, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2023.

In 2023, we filed an application to form and license a Texas reciprocal exchange (the “Reciprocal”) with the Texas Department of Insurance (“TDI”). If approved by the TDI, our insurance underwriting business will be conducted through the Reciprocal. A Porch subsidiary would serve as the operator (or “attorney-in-fact”) for the Reciprocal. In that role it would perform underwriting, claims, and management services for the Reciprocal and receive a management fee calculated as a percentage of its premiums. Porch subsidiaries would act as general agents for the Reciprocal and HOA and would receive fees and commissions. There can be no assurance that the Reciprocal will receive regulatory approval, and if obtained, that the approval would be based on terms as proposed or subject to additional requirements that may not be acceptable to us. If the application is approved, we intend to launch Porch Insurance, a new brand and product to be offered by the Reciprocal, including unique benefits for consumers such as a free 90-day warranty and proprietary discounts to customers within the Porch ecosystem.

This increase was partially offset by a 4%, or $1.1 million, decrease in revenue in our Vertical Software segment due to a 3.5% reduction in year-over-year industry home sales which adversely affected our moving business in particular.

Current wording

Revenue. Total revenue increased by $12.1 million, or 12%, from $98.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, to $110.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $8.6 million, or 393%, from $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, to $10.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is mainly due to interest at a higher weighted average rate on a higher aggregate debt balance after issuance of the 2028 Notes in April 2023. The non-cash amortization of debt discount and issuance costs also contributed to the increase.

The following table summarizes Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $(34.8) million, a $8.4 million improvement from Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) of $(43.1) million for the same period in 2023. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) in 2024 is primarily driven by insurance profitability actions, including price increases implemented over the last year, as well as cost reductions across the business. We are seeing the benefit of prior year investments in sales and marketing and investments in establishing and maintaining the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and other internal controls across IT and accounting organizations. These improvements were partially offset by the effects of extreme weather events, lower ceding, and the decline of the corporate relocation business in our Vertical Software segment.
