Enthusiast+ Product
Current report
Through our wholly owned insurance carrier subsidiary, Drivers Edge Insurance Company ("Drivers Edge"), we recently launched Enthusiast+, a new insurance product tailored for modern enthusiast vehicles that are typically driven more frequently and stored more flexibly than traditional collector cars. This product is designed to broaden our addressable market by offering coverage to a wider range of vehicles and customer profiles.
Current report
Enthusiast+ policies are expected to command higher premiums and, given the distinct risk characteristics of the targeted vehicles and customer segments, are anticipated to have higher loss ratios relative to our traditional insurance offerings. The product features differentiated pricing and advanced coverage options, representing a strategic evolution in our risk profile and business model. We expect that Enthusiast+ policies will generate attractive returns for us, widen our funnel of insurable vehicles and aid in our growth.
Current report
The initial launch of Enthusiast+ took place in Colorado in the third quarter of 2025. We plan to implement a phased, nationwide rollout over the next four years. We believe that Enthusiast+ will enable us to better meet the needs of modern vehicle enthusiasts and contribute to the long-term growth and diversification of our insurance portfolio.
Current report
Commission and fee revenue was $137.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $20.9 million, or 18.0%, compared to 2024. This increase was driven by both policy renewals and new policies, which contributed $15.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively, to the year-over-year improvement.
Current report
Membership, marketplace and other revenue was $55.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $14.3 million, or 34.5%, compared to 2024.
Current report
Other revenue, which includes sponsorship, admission, advertising, valuation, and sublease revenue, totaled $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.6 million, or 10.7%, compared to 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher admission and sponsorship revenue related to our Motorlux event at Monterey Car Week, as well as higher advertising revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, other revenue was 10.2% and 12.4%, respectively, of the Membership, marketplace and other revenue total.
Current report
Salaries and benefits were $68.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $20.9 million, or 44.3%, compared to 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher accrued incentive compensation, reflecting stronger performance compared to the prior year, when losses related to Hurricane Helene significantly reduced accrued incentive compensation. To a lesser extent, Salaries and benefits increased as a result of increased headcount and merit increases year-over-year.
Current report
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $78.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $20.8 million, or 20.9%, compared to 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by $24.7 million of estimated pre-tax losses incurred in 2024 related to Hurricane Helene, for which there were no comparable losses in the current year period. This factor was partially offset by increased losses due to the 12.9% increase in Earned premium, net discussed above.
Current report
General and administrative expenses were $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $3.6 million, or 17.3%, compared to 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to a $2.8 million increase in professional fees, driven by transaction costs associated with an exchange of THG units for Class A Common Stock (the "THG Unit Exchange") and related secondary offering consummated in the third quarter of 2025, as well as professional fees related to the Proposed Fronting Arrangement and Broad Arrow's global expansion. Lastly, costs related to software-related costs increased $1.4 million, primarily driven by costs related to our new insurance policy management system. Refer to Note 17 — Stockholders' Equity in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information related to the THG Unit Exchange and related secondary offering.
Current report
Interest and other income (expense), net decreased $29.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to expense related to the TRA Liability. In the third quarter of 2025, we determined it was appropriate to release a portion of the valuation allowance previously recorded against our federal and state deferred tax assets. In connection with this release, we remeasured our TRA Liability, resulting in an expense of $29.2 million, recorded within Interest and other income (expense), net, representing 85% of the expected tax benefit to be paid to the Legacy Unit Holders. Refer to Note 20 — Taxation in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Current report
We have historically maintained a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets related to the difference between the outside tax basis and book basis of our investment in the assets of THG. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income sufficient to utilize these deferred tax assets. As of each reporting date, we consider new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect our view of the future realization of our deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2024, we concluded that it was more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets, including the deferred tax asset for the investment in the assets of THG, would not be realized because we were in a three-year cumulative loss position and the generation of sufficient future taxable income to utilize these deferred tax assets was uncertain.
Current report
As of September 30, 2025, our continued assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets concluded that sufficient sources of future taxable income will be generated to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets related to the outside basis in our investment in THG and other tax attributes of the Hagerty, Inc. filing entity. In assessing the realizability of these deferred tax assets, we considered all sources of positive and negative evidence, including (i) that we had achieved cumulative three-year profitability during the quarter; (ii) that our forecasts indicated continued profitability; and (iii) other positive business factors. Based on this evaluation, we determined it was appropriate to release a portion of the valuation allowance previously recorded against our federal and state deferred tax assets. As a result, $38.1 million of the valuation allowance was released during the third quarter of 2025 and a corresponding income tax benefit was recognized within "Income tax (expense) benefit" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Current report
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax benefit of $32.8 million, representing an increase of $31.8 million compared to 2024. This increase was primarily a result of the release of the valuation allowance discussed above.

Current report
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $225.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 0.7%, compared to 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by $24.7 million of estimated pre-tax losses incurred in 2024 related to Hurricane Helene, for which there were no comparable losses in the current year period. This factor was almost entirely offset by increased losses due to the 12.5% increase in Earned premium, net discussed above.
Current report
General and administrative expenses were $69.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $7.1 million, or 11.5%, compared to 2024. This increase was primarily due to a $3.5 million increase in software-related costs, largely driven by costs related to our new insurance policy management system, and to a lesser extent, a $1.8 million increase in professional fees. The increase in professional fees is primarily driven by transaction costs associated with the THG Unit Exchange and related secondary offering that was consummated in the third quarter of 2025, as well as professional fees related to the Proposed Fronting Arrangement and Broad Arrow's global expansion.

The increase in revenue from policy renewals was primarily driven by a 14.3% increase in underlying policy premiums, as well as continued strong policy retention.
