EverQuote Announces First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

 

   

First Quarter Revenue of $109.2 million

 

   

First Quarter Variable Marketing Margin Increased to $35.6 million

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 8, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EverQuote, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVER), a leading online insurance marketplace, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“In the first quarter of 2023, we exceeded expectations across our three primary financial KPIs, delivering revenue of $109.2 million, Variable Marketing Margin, or VMM, of $35.6 million and improved adjusted EBITDA,” said Jayme Mendal, CEO of EverQuote. “Our team is executing well, and our progress this quarter demonstrates that when the auto insurance industry normalizes, major carriers will resume their spending on consumer acquisition and EverQuote will be well positioned to capitalize on the opportunity.”

“As we have done throughout the auto insurance industry downturn, we will continue to drive efficiency throughout our operations by judiciously managing expenses, while investing in key strategic areas to position the company for long-term growth. However, the persistence of elevated claims losses for auto insurance carriers, has introduced significant uncertainty with regards to the outlook for industry marketing spend for the balance of this year, and as a result, we are withdrawing our full year guidance.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

(All comparisons are relative to the first quarter of 2022)

 

   

Total revenue of $109.2 million, a decrease of 1%.

 

   

Automotive insurance vertical revenue of $89.7 million, an increase of 2%.

 

   

Revenue from other insurance verticals, which includes home and renters, life, and health insurance, decreased 15% to $19.5 million.

 

   

Direct to consumer agency, or DTCA, revenue of $9.8 million, or 9% of total revenue.

 

   

Variable Marketing Margin of $35.6 million, an increase of 4%.

 

   

GAAP net loss improved to a loss of $2.5 million, compared to a GAAP net loss of $5.7 million.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $5.4 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2023 Outlook:

Given the uncertainty of performance within the auto insurance industry and the exact timing of when carriers may restore their marketing budgets, the Company is withdrawing its previously provided full year 2023 guidance.

For the second quarter 2023, EverQuote anticipates revenue, Variable Marketing Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:

 

   

Revenue of $70 - $75 million.

 

   

Variable Marketing Margin of $23 - $26 million.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of ($4) - ($1) million.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Second 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, 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.


Conference Call and Webcast Information

EverQuote will host a conference call and live webcast to discuss its first quarter 2023 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, May 8, 2023.

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; 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.

The Current State of the Auto Insurance Market Late Summer 2021; Auto Insurance Downturn Begins Current Outlook Cost of claims rises rapidly due to higher used car values, increased cost to repair and overall accident severity Auto carriers continue raising rates to restore adequate profitability; progress varies considerably by carrier and state Carriers are unable to adjust and implement rates quickly due to regulatory process and policy renewal cycles Carriers face elevated claims and combined ratios; pull back significantly on consumer acquisition spend Anticipated improvements through 2023 and 2024; exact timing of the auto recovery remains uncertain Cost of claims showing some signs of stabilization, however, loss pressures persist

Key Metrics Definitions Variable Marketing Margin We define variable marketing margin, or VMM, as revenue, as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and 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 acquisition sources and to make trade-off decisions to manage our return on advertising. We do not use VMM as a measure of profitability. Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 operational goals for managing our business.
