Revenue grew 11% year-over-year, so it was below our guidance range due to a $17 million year-over-year decrease in auto insurance revenue. For the full year, this implies that we expect NGOI in the range of $85 to $91 million. Open the document at this passage

TL;DR. Revenue increased 11%, consumer revenue increased 12%, SMB revenue increased 6%, and trailing-12-month adjusted free cash flow rose 51%; management expects revenue growth in 2027. However, revenue missed guidance, auto-insurance revenue declined, GAAP and non-GAAP profitability declined, sales and marketing expense rose 28%, Q4 revenue is guided down 13% at the midpoint, cash and cash equivalents fell 39%, Q1 2027 faces a difficult comparison, and investments create a $15 million-$20 million full-year non-GAAP operating income headwind.
