Now let me turn the call over to Peter.
Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our fourth quarter 2025 earnings call. At Ethos, we are on a mission to protect families by democratizing access to life insurance and empowering agents at scale. And I'm pleased to share that in Q4, we continued our strong execution. We delivered $110.1 million in revenue in Q4, representing a 65% year-over-year revenue growth, and achieved adjusted EBITDA of $26 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 23%. We activated over 54,000 new policies this quarter, bringing us to over 500,000 policies activated through Q4. We also ended the year with over 15,000 agents selling on our platform in 2025. For the full year 2025, we generated revenue of $388 million, representing growth of 52%. This marks our third consecutive year with growth over 50%. We also generated a Rule of 40 score of 75, demonstrating our ability to balance growth and profitability. For those of you joining us for the first time and as a refresher for others, I'd like to share an overview of how Ethos is transforming the buying, selling and underwriting process of life insurance. Our goal at Ethos is to become the largest issuer of life insurance in the world. We built a vertically integrated platform that owns the full consumer journey, from marketing and application through underwriting, policy issuance, policy administration and long-term servicing. That control lets us deliver a level of speed, accessibility and approval rates that don't exist in the legacy life insurance industry. Our automated data-driven underwriting engine processes hundreds of thousands of data points per application, leveraging pharmaceutical records, medical claims billing data and more. The engine then applies over 1 million rules of logic and over 800 adaptive questions to make accurate risk-adjusted pricing decisions in real time. Our 95% instant decisioning rate would be tremendously difficult to achieve without our proprietary engine and logic IP developed over the previous 6 years. Surrounding the engine is the industry's only natively built 100% digital and modern vertically integrated technology platform. Ethos draws tremendous strength and competitive moat from our application engine, underwriting engine, admin system, payments and commissions infrastructure, agent operating system, unified data infrastructure and AI and ML layers. To achieve our 98% gross margin, we have leveraged those AI and machine learning layers on top of our data infrastructure to deliver lead level revenue predictions, better agent quality, more accurate policy recommendations and automated fraud management that traditional carriers simply cannot replicate. Our moat is structural. Every application engine, underwriting decision, issued policy, retention event and claim feeds back into our system. More data improves risk selection and better risk selection strengthens carrier performance. Stronger carrier performance expands take rates, capacity and product breadth. Simply put, our platform gets better as it gets bigger. Our advantage is a cutting-edge technology platform and years of structured underwriting data, real-time feedback loops and deeply integrated carrier relationships trained on our unified system. A significant portion of our team are engineers and data scientists. That shows up in the model. Revenue scales without proportional headcount growth, automation expands margins and underwriting accuracy improves with data density. Our 3-sided technology platform serves consumers, agents and carriers alike. For consumers, Ethos transforms what can be an 8-week purchase process into as little as 10 minutes online. We've removed the friction, no invasive medical exams, no long waits, no endless coordination between multiple parties, just a seamless tech-driven experience. For agents, we transform their workflow, allowing them to sell policies instantly and accelerate their working capital cycle. Our agent operating system transforms how agents sell life insurance and how agencies operate. By digitizing the sale, Ethos allows agents to focus on what they do best: building relationships and growing their business. Agents can control the application or send clients a link to self-serve. Agents use Ethos to market to their consumers, nurture their pipeline, sell instantly, track incentives and rewards, automate payments and automate agency operations. In the absence of the Ethos Agent OS, agents are stuck using multiple unintuitive legacy platforms. For carriers, we deliver scaled incremental growth on modern technology, and we prioritize their underwriting profitability above our own. That is why these relationships are deep, long term and expanding. For many of our carriers, Ethos is their single largest source of new life premiums. We are proud of the 6 carriers we work with today. We've intentionally focused our carrier network, which allows Ethos to form stronger relationships with each carrier. For Ethos, this translates into better pricing, prioritization on the carrier's IT roadmap and faster product development. Historically, we've introduced 3 to 4 new products a year. And in Q4, we brought 2 new products to market with 2 new carriers. Our accumulation indexed universal life product with North American Sammons targets consumers who are looking for protection as well as investment features in their life insurance products. We also launched a supplementary health product with Aflac that allows us to provide additional coverage like cancer insurance. We believe these products open up new revenue streams and expand our addressable market, strengthening the ecosystem that fuels our growth. Looking ahead, we see 3 durable growth vectors. First, growing our ecosystem by bringing more consumers into our direct channel and recruiting more agents to the platform; second, enhancing our platform by making agents more productive and increasing our share of their sales; and third, expanding our product portfolio to broaden our addressable market. Ethos is a business that gets better as it gets bigger. All 3 constituents on our platform benefit from our scale and extensible nature, delivering great network effects. Every new client improves our risk models, client and agent experience and marketing machine learning models' efficiency. Better risk models improve pricing and unit economics for our clients, our carrier partners and Ethos. More scale and underwriting experience allow us to grow our product portfolio and carrier panel, delivering more value to clients and agents. A broader product portfolio both enables us to capture more of an agent's sales and recruit different types of agencies. Our unified end-to-end platform captures and analyzes granular data across both the consumer and agent journeys. While the legacy industry is hindered by on-prem technology and manual processes, our end-to-end digital platform fuels a virtuous data cycle that is spinning faster and faster. As an example, in 2023, it typically took around 3 weeks to reach statistically significant results in our product development and marketing experiments. As of January 2026, it takes us as few as 3 days. This dramatically increases our testing velocity, allowing us to run more experiments in parallel, iterate faster and bring successful innovations to market with greater speed and confidence. This quarter's results prove that our 3-sided technology platform has strong product market fit with consumers, agents and carriers alike. With that, I will pass it to Chris for a review of our fourth quarter 2025 financial results.
Thanks, Peter, and good afternoon, everyone. To begin, I'll review the highlights of our fourth quarter results. Then I'll outline our expectations for the first quarter and the full year 2026 before opening up to your questions. We concluded the fourth quarter with consistent execution across several key strategic priorities. Our financial results demonstrate both strong top line momentum across our direct-to-consumer and third-party channels and the earnings power of our platform. Before reviewing the details of our results, I'd like to remind everyone that some of the financial measures and metrics that I'll discuss today are presented on a non-GAAP basis, which we believe provides additional insight into our performance. With that in mind, let me walk you through the details behind our results. In the fourth quarter, we delivered $110.1 million in revenue, representing a 65% increase from the same period last year. In our direct channel, fourth quarter revenue increased to $74.2 million, representing 93% year-over-year growth. This performance was fueled by optimized advertising spend and innovation up and down our vertical stack. By refining everything from the initial user experience to our core underwriting algorithms, we've driven meaningful compounding improvements in our conversion rates. In our third-party channel, fourth quarter revenue was $35.9 million, representing a 27% increase over the same quarter last year. This growth was driven by an increase in both active agents and revenue per agent. Moving to our non-financial metrics. We activated 54,714 policies in the fourth quarter, representing a 42% year-over-year growth. The average revenue per policy was $2,012. The fourth quarter was also strong from an efficiency perspective. We recorded a contribution profit of $47.2 million, representing a 43% contribution margin. As a reminder, we define contribution profit as gross profit less sales and marketing expenses. This includes agent payments and underwriting costs for non-activated policies but excludes non-cash stock-based compensation and allocated overhead. We continue to maintain a 2-month payback on variable costs while prioritizing growth of contribution profit dollars. By diversifying our product portfolio to reach historically underserved segments, we're maximizing the yield on every dollar of marketing spend and leveraging the fixed investments in our technology stack. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $25.8 million, representing a margin of 23%. This quarter's performance reflects our commitment to balancing growth and operational efficiency. We remain focused on disciplined spending and strategic investments in both of our go-to-market channels. As of December 31, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $157.4 million, and we ended the year with a commission receivable balance of $290 million, which we expect will convert to cash over the coming years. Now I'll walk you through our expectations for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2026. For the first quarter of 2026, we expect total revenue in the range of $144 million to $146 million. At the midpoint, this represents 53% year-over-year growth. We also expect adjusted EBITDA in the range of $30 million to $32 million. For the full year 2026, we expect total revenue in the range of $510 million to $514 million. At the midpoint, this represents 32% year-over-year growth. We also expect adjusted EBITDA in the range of $99 million to $103 million. In 2026, we're focused on driving sustainable growth by further diversifying our revenue sources, specifically through the continued ramp of our new product lines and the strategic expansion of our third-party and direct-to-consumer channels. By deepening our brand recognition and leveraging the inherent efficiencies of the Ethos platform, we are well positioned to capture significant market opportunity while meeting our profitability targets. And with that, I'll turn the call over to the operator to begin the Q&A session.
Our first question comes from Eric Sheridan of Goldman Sachs.
Maybe 2, if I can. First, Peter, what do you see as the biggest strategic priorities for the company when you think about the way you've laid out the potential for revenue growth in 2026 that you're most focused on executing against to deliver against that top line performance? And then maybe a second question would be, as you continue to scale the platform, what is the landscape like in terms of deploying marketing dollars and earning a stable to rising return on marketing dollars as a growth stimulant for the business?
Thanks for the question, Eric. We're pleased to be here and excited for our first earnings call together. Let’s discuss our priorities for 2026, focusing first on our core business priorities and then on AI. We have three solid growth strategies. The first is to attract more clients and agents to our platform. The second is to enhance agent productivity through improvements to our operating system. The third is to expand our product offerings and increase the value we provide per product. When reviewing our results from the past year and considering our future guidance, all three strategies are effectively contributing to our growth. We're enthusiastic about continuing to execute well across these areas. The second priority involves leveraging AI throughout the company, which we have been implementing over the past year in various domains including engineering, analytics, marketing, client service, agent service, fraud management, agent quality, and operational automation. This emphasis on AI has significantly contributed to our 98% gross margins and high client satisfaction ratings, reflected in our Net Promoter Score of over 70 for the past year. There is still considerable potential for us to harness AI further and enhance our performance. In terms of marketing efficiency, our Q4 results demonstrate our ability to grow our direct business at impressive rates while maintaining solid year-over-year direct-to-consumer unit economics. This is indicative of a virtuous cycle where our business improves as it grows, with our machine learning models enhancing our marketing effectiveness. We can conduct more user experience optimization tests, improving conversion rates, and efficiency. We are also getting better at risk management and underwriting, allowing us to approve more individuals at competitive prices, negotiate improved take rates, and offer better client pricing. Our operations are becoming more intelligent and efficient as we expand. Additionally, we employ a diverse range of marketing channels, avoiding over-reliance on any single one. Most of our spending goes to upper funnel channels where users are not specifically seeking life insurance, such as television, social media, and radio, which allows us to scale effectively at favorable unit economics.
And our next question comes from the line of Ross Sandler of Barclays.
Great. Peter, I was just curious, so the market seems very jittery around the AI topic, not as it relates to how you guys might be using it internally, but more how consumers use agentic AI for research or prospecting in the process of buying various types of insurance, including life insurance. So I was just curious, like how are you guys thinking about the opportunity as it relates to partnering or integrating with third-party agentic AI services? Or how you see this playing out as it relates to the purchase funnel for buying life insurance in general?
Yes, thanks for the question. AI presents a significant opportunity for us to enhance both our growth and profitability. We are well-positioned to leverage the advancements in AI across various aspects of our business while operating within a heavily regulated industry. Looking at the broader picture, the traditional carriers depend on a mix of outdated on-premise and vendor-managed systems built on a fragmented and often unreliable data infrastructure. In contrast, our comprehensive technology platform, supported by advanced data capabilities, allows us to integrate AI and machine learning throughout our operations. This opens up further possibilities for improvement. Specifically, in sales and marketing—which is our largest expense due to advertising and agent commissions—AI could lower distribution costs or change how life insurance is purchased. As the leading direct-to-consumer provider, these changes in consumer behavior could significantly boost our growth and profit margins. Our advantage goes beyond just having access to AI tools; it's our seamless platform, years of structured underwriting data, real-time feedback mechanisms, and strong relationships with carriers that create a unified system. Our operational structure supports this; every application, underwriting process, issued policy, retention event, and claim feeds back into our system, enhancing the intelligence and efficiency of our AI and machine learning models. In simple terms, our capabilities improve as we scale. We have specific initiatives related to geographic expansion, capitalizing on opportunities for user acquisition and brand building as consumers increasingly turn to large language models for research. We are actively working on integration with these models, where we believe our robust technology platform positions us uniquely to succeed.
And our next question comes from the line of Colin Sebastian of Baird.
I'm curious about your expansion into adjacent products, particularly what you launched in Q4 and what's coming next. How much of your outlook includes these new products, and how quickly are they expected to grow? Additionally, what extra investment is needed for customer acquisition and improvements to your data platform and integrations as you introduce these new products? That information would be helpful.
That's a great question, Colin. Thanks for it. I'll first talk about our guidance, then I'll talk about the specific products. It's important to understand our guidance philosophy; we ascribe very little revenue in our forecasting to newer or less proven products. We really take a wait-and-see approach. It's early days for both of the products that we launched in Q4. As a reminder, we launched a new accumulation indexed universal life insurance product, and we launched a cancer insurance product. We are seeing healthy agent adoption of our accumulation IUL product. That is a permanent life insurance product with a compelling investment feature performance and the same incredible Ethos 10-minute purchase process. So we're encouraged. It's early days, but we're excited for it to continue growing and compounding. Our cancer insurance product is really in the early phases of testing and iteration. So I think it's too early to make a judgment call on its potential. While cancer insurance is not typically sold outside the workplace in the U.S., we think it's a compelling value proposition given the rate of cancer diagnosis. If you look at our track record historically, we tend to launch around 3 to 4 new products per year. Our teams are actively working on new products with more in the pipeline. As far as the incremental investment needed when we launch a new product, launching a new product can take anywhere from 4 months to up to a year for the more complicated ones. It's really a company-wide effort across not only building that new product but integrating it with our distribution systems with all of our analytics and our infrastructure. So there is incremental cost to launch each new product. It's not massive; it's more the time and effort to do it right and set up these deep integrations and build the relationships with our carrier partners.
Our next question comes from the line of Ronald Josey of Citi.
Peter, I wanted to better understand the 93% growth in D2C revenue from this past quarter. And I know we talked about sales and marketing and advertising and the ability to really target. But specifically, I would love your thoughts on just what changes were made to the product or the application path that drove that and any insights on conversion rates because of these changes. So question number one is on the 93% growth in D2C and product changes that might be driving greater conversion rates. And then I think the second durable vector you mentioned, make agents more productive, optimized through the Agent OS. We now have 15,000 agents on the platform. I think that's a notable step-up from the last disclosure. So just talk to us about the drivers that's attracting more agents to the platform here.
It's a great question. Thank you so much, Ron. So on the first topic, it really wasn't any one change to the platform that drove that exceptional direct growth. It was really the vertically integrated up and down the cycle seeing gains. So we saw gains in the efficiency of our marketing models. As they've gotten larger, they've gotten more intelligent. We saw a number of user experiment improvements, which are leading to more people buying life insurance. We saw gains in underwriting being able to approve more people at better prices. So it's really up and down the vertically integrated stack. I think when you think about our direct business in comparison to a lot of other direct businesses, we benefit from having a very deep stack of real estate on which to optimize. And so we have been able to quickly improve our unit economics, and we expect to be able to going forward, which allows us to then go and increase our marketing spend across a myriad of channels. And if you look at year-over-year, we've increased marketing spend really across the portfolio of marketing channels, both our upper funnel channels where people are not looking for life insurance as well as bottom-of-funnel channels where people are looking for life insurance. And within our category, we're really winning in both of those parts of the advertising market. Drivers of agent growth to the platform; it's really a combination of adding new agencies and growth of our more tenured agency partners. If you think about our agency business, it's a highly recurring model where we benefit not only from the new agencies but also the more tenured partners on the platform. When we add a new partner, they roll Ethos out to their existing agents. Then those agents repeatedly sell policies, and that agency is constantly recruiting more new agents onto the platform at no incremental cost to us. Then Ethos can make those agents more productive through enhancements to our operating system. And ultimately, we attempt to grow our share of that agency sales by broadening and enhancing our product portfolio. If you look at this past year's results, we saw excellent growth both in the more tenured cohort of agencies as well as productive new agencies who are joining the platform.
Our next question comes from the line of Lee Horowitz of Deutsche Bank.
So you mentioned impressive unit economic stability in the quarter despite the really fast growth in the D2C business. I guess can you expand upon that and how you're looking at perhaps unit economics on a go-forward basis? Why is this maybe not the right time to lean into growth given the competitive landscape that you're playing against as the only scaled digital player left in the market? And then secondly, there are certainly some opportunities to expand the monetization of the platform over the longer term into perhaps some more traditional recurring revenue streams. I guess how are you thinking about that opportunity set and where that may sit in sort of your list of priorities as you grow your business?
That's a great question, Lee. Thanks for asking it. So I'll start on how we think about the right balance between growth and profitability in our direct business. If you take a step back, really the standard that we hold ourselves to is whether or not we're selling through our direct business or our third-party business and whether or not we're selling a term or a whole life or an indexed universal life product, we really attempt to be cash profitable by month 2 of the policy's lifecycle. We have a very efficient working capital cycle, and we build up a contribution margin over the life of the policy. We think about that as a constraint to the growth model. In all direct businesses, unit economics are the governor. So we're looking at how efficiently we can grow at the standard of unit economics that we want to achieve. So that's how I would think about just generally the rate at which we grow our advertising spend. Remember, we're constantly improving our platform and improving unit economics, which then allows us to increase advertising spend or bank higher unit economic gains. As far as our revenue model, we don't have any near-term plans to change it. We're really focused on becoming the largest issuer of life insurance. It’s an incredibly important market where we have a unique opportunity and advantage by having built this modern digital machine which is vertically integrated that is a 3-sided platform, delivering an incredible value proposition to clients, agents and carriers. We are accumulating great momentum and advantage in this market, and that’s really our focus going forward at this point.
And our next question comes from the line of Michael McGovern of Bank of America.
I have 2. First, could you speak to your carrier relationship dynamics underpinning guidance for the full year of 2026? Like for example, do you have any multi-year contracts that might be coming up and there's any assumptions around the negotiations or anything on that front? And then secondly, could you speak to kind of the relative strength in your revenue growth guidance in Q1 relative to the full year? Are there any assumptions throughout the second half of the year that changed relative to Q1?
Mike, thank you for the question. Our carrier partner contracts are typically evergreen. I wouldn't think about any material upcoming negotiations that are influential in our guidance. If you think about our existing panel of carrier partners, there's much more demand and capacity for Ethos premiums than there is supply of Ethos premiums today. We don't want a panel of 30 off-the-shelf carrier products. We've intentionally built a focused panel of carriers where we really work to co-develop custom proprietary products with deep technical and operational integrations from the carriers into our unified platform. Importantly, scale with our partners provides Ethos the necessary position in negotiating the economics we have today. That scale in the relationship puts our priorities at the front of the carriers' IT and operational road maps, where we often have to dislodge some other important work on their road map related to maintaining a legacy system or some other initiative they have. When the 10-K flips in the near future, you'll see our carrier concentration disclosure decline by around 10 percentage points within our existing 6 partners. We've built a considerable amount of redundancy into our business among our 10 products in the portfolio, given that we have multiple products in multiple categories. It's also important to remember that in our contracts, we typically have an extended notice of cancellation period that lasts well beyond the time that's required for us to build a new product with a new carrier. We expect to continue building more products with more partners in the future, and we're very happy with our existing panel of carriers.
Mike, regarding the revenue guidance, the Q1 forecast demonstrates strong operational momentum that we've sustained into 2026. The new policy activations in January were robust, and February is exceeding our internal targets. Looking beyond Q1, we remain optimistic about the growth momentum in the direct channel, and as Peter mentioned, we're beginning to see the benefits from new agencies we onboarded in 2025 that are driving revenue growth in 2026. This confidence is reflected in the full year revenue guidance we provided. Additionally, as you project revenue for the year, keep in mind that our business shows seasonality, with Q1 and Q4 as our strongest quarters, while Q2 and Q3 experience less seasonal impact. You can expect the direct business to be more prominent in the first quarter, roughly a 75-25 split. Over the year, it will align closer to a 2/3, 1/3 split, still leaning towards direct. This pattern is consistent with our historical performance and forms the basis of our 2026 guidance.
Our next question comes from Pablo Singzon of JPMorgan.
So first question, DTC sales have historically been a minor portion of overall industry sales in life insurance. So the question is, what is your long-term view of the opportunity here and are there differences of note between the customers you cater to in DTC versus the customers that legacy DTC providers have historically served? So that's question one. And then question 2 is about your agency strategy, right? So can you just talk about your strategy for adding agency partners? On the carrier side, it sounds like your approach is to target category leaders for specific verticals, which makes sense if you think about the growth impact you want to deliver. But on the agency side, I'd be interested to hear about your thought process for selecting which agencies to partner with.
Thank you for the insightful questions, Pablo. Regarding our long-term perspective on direct sales, prior to Ethos, the direct approach faced considerable challenges. Our advancements throughout our technology platform, coupled with enhancements in underwriting and superior execution in technology and market strategies, have made progress possible. Ethos represents the first instance of scalable, profitable unit economics within this sector. If we look toward the future, this market could evolve similarly to the auto insurance sector over the past couple of decades, which transitioned from being dominated by agents with a cumbersome transactional process to a simpler, online format led by companies like GEICO and Progressive. Over the years, direct sales grew from a minor market share to roughly half or more. I truly believe Ethos can initiate a comparable transformation within the life insurance space. Additionally, we see many opportunities beyond the current market. The life insurance industry is notably recurring; each year, approximately 10 million Americans purchase life insurance regardless of whether Ethos is an option. Major life events such as having children, getting married, taking on a mortgage, dealing with health concerns, or observing aging parents prompt this buying journey. Ethos provides the most effective means for these families to secure protection, while also being the most efficient option for agents to facilitate sales. We are eager to tap into that significant and consistent demand, as well as to offer protection to families that might not have obtained coverage through traditional, cumbersome methods. When it comes to integrating agencies onto our platform, we carefully consider which ones will thrive and recognize the tremendous value we offer agents, such as a rapid transaction process. Being able to sell a policy in 10 minutes instead of weeks allows agents to use their time more effectively, prospecting for clients rather than managing lengthy bureaucratic processes. We seek agents whose approach aligns with our fast transaction model and product offerings. Our process for onboarding agents tends to be organic, relying on referrals from one agency to another where they share positive experiences with Ethos, often noting how much it has contributed to their sales. Agents appreciate our service, and we look forward to this natural onboarding process continuing to evolve. Additionally, regarding our latest indexed universal life product launched with a carrier partner, this marks a unique distribution model for Ethos, involving a collaborative effort between the carrier's and Ethos' distribution teams. This collaboration will help attract agents who have previously worked with the carrier, bringing them into our platform where we can effectively serve them with this new indexed universal life offering.
I'm showing no further questions at this time. I'll now turn it back to Aaron Turner for closing remarks.
Great. Thank you all for joining us today on our first call as a public company, and we'll speak with you all again next quarter.
Thank you for your participation in today's conference. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect.
