Fourth Quarter Revenue of $88.3 million

 

   

Fourth Quarter Variable Marketing Margin of $29.1 million

 

   

Full Year Revenue of $404.1 million

 

   

Full Year Variable Marketing Margin of $128.3 million

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EverQuote, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVER), a leading online insurance marketplace, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

“In 2022, we achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA for the year through the continued strength and agility of our team to respond swiftly to frequent, large reductions in carrier demand with amplified discipline in expense management and pursuit of targeted growth opportunities,” said Jayme Mendal, CEO of EverQuote. “We delivered full year revenue and Variable Marketing Margin, or VMM, of $404.1 million and $128.3 million, respectively; and generated positive Adjusted EBITDA.”

“Despite a very challenging auto insurance environment last year, EverQuote enters 2023 in a stronger position than ever before. As a market leader, EverQuote continues to gain market share and is focused on redefining the category of insurance distribution as we build the one-stop insurance destination for the digital age. In 2023, we will work to restore revenue growth, bring profitability back to pre-downturn levels and generate positive cash flow, while continuing to make key investments to advance our strategy.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights:

(All comparisons are relative to the fourth quarter of 2021):

 

   

Total revenue of $88.3 million, a decrease of 13%.

 

   

Automotive insurance vertical revenue of $67.2 million, a decrease of 5%.

 

   

Revenue from other insurance verticals, which includes home and renters, life, and health insurance, decreased 33% to $21.1 million.

 

   

Variable Marketing Margin of $29.1 million, a decrease of 12%.

 

   

GAAP net loss was $8.5 million, flat with the prior year period.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $0.1 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million.

 

   

Direct to consumer agency, or DTCA, revenue of $13.9 million, or 15.7% of total revenue.

Full Year 2022 Highlights:

(All comparisons are relative to the full year of 2021):

 

   

Total revenue of $404.1 million, a decrease of 3%.

 

   

Automotive insurance vertical revenue of $324.4 million, a decrease of 2%.


   

Revenue from other insurance verticals, which includes home and renters, life, and health insurance, decreased 9% to $79.7 million.

 

   

Variable Marketing Margin of $128.3 million, a decrease of 1%.

 

   

Variable Marketing Margin as a percentage of revenue was a record 31.7%, driven by the strength of our traffic operations.

 

   

GAAP net loss increased to $24.4 million, compared to GAAP net loss of $19.4 million.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $5.9 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $14.6 million.

 

   

DTCA generated $51.4 million in revenue, or 12.7% of total revenue, while driving significant improvements in operational efficiency.

First Quarter and Full Year 2023 Guidance:

First Quarter 2023:

 

   

Revenue of $101 - $105 million.

 

   

Variable Marketing Margin of $31.5 - $33.5 million.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $2 - $4 million.

Full Year 2023:

 

   

Revenue of $420 - $435 million.

 

   

Variable Marketing Margin of $132 - $140 million.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $7 - $13 million.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under “First Quarter and Full Year 2023 Guidance” above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income (loss) in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, one-time severance charges, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss). In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure.  Please see “EverQuote, Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” below for more information.

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding EverQuote’s financial results, the Company has presented Adjusted. EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; acquisition-related costs; one-time severance charges; interest income; and income taxes. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). The Company monitors and presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing EverQuote’s business. In particular, the Company believes that excluding the impact of these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of EverQuote’s core operating performance.


The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate EverQuote’s operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in EverQuote’s business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that the Company excludes in the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company believes that this financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating EverQuote’s operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce the usefulness of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

EverQuote is not reaffirming this guidance as of the date of this presentation & makes no statement with respect to this guidance other than that such guidance was provided by EverQuote as of February 27, 2023. With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Full Year 2023 Guidance” above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income (loss) because the Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, one-time severance charges, interest income, and income taxes on a 15 consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss). In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Appendix 20


Key Metrics Definitions We define variable marketing margin, or VMM, as revenue, as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and Variable comprehensive income (loss), less advertising costs (a component of sales and marketing expense, as reported in our statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss)). We use VMM to measure the efficiency of individual advertising and consumer Marketing acquisition sources and to make trade-off decisions to manage our return on advertising. We do not use VMM as a measure of Margin profitability. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, legal settlement expense, one-time severance charges, interest income and the Adjusted provision for (benefit from) income taxes. We monitor & present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management & board of directors to understand & evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets & to develop EBITDA operational goals for managing our business. 21
