Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Total Revenues grew organically 43% over the prior-year period to $57.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022
  • Fourth quarter Core Revenues* of $51.8 million increased 49% over the prior-year period
  • Fourth quarter net income of $2.6 million increased 193%, EPS of $0.02 per share increased 62% and adjusted EPS* of $0.11 per share increased 89%, over the prior-year period. Net income margin for the fourth quarter was 5%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* grew 123% over the prior-year period to $11.9 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin* increased 8 percentage points over the prior-year period to 21%.
  • Total written premiums placed for the fourth quarter increased 44% over the prior-year period to $585 million as pricing remains a tail-wind that will likely continue into 2023
  • Policies in force grew 27% from the prior-year period to approximately 1,284,000
  • Corporate sales headcount of 320 was down 37% year-over-year as we completed that unit’s revamp
  • Operating franchises grew 18% compared to the prior-year period to 1,413

*Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of Core Revenue to total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA Margin to Net Income Margin and Adjusted EPS to basic earnings per share, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

“We finished 2022 with an exceptional fourth quarter that demonstrates the strength, consistency and resilience of our incredible company. In the quarter, revenues increased 43%, core revenues grew 49% and adjusted EBITDA increased 123% with adjusted EBITDA margin up 8 percentage points,” stated Mark E. Jones, Chairman and CEO. “Premiums were up 44% and 42% for the quarter and full year, respectively, as we saw continued benefit from auto and home rates that will likely persist well into 2023 given personal lines carrier loss experience. 2022 was a year of substantial change that positions us for our next chapter of strong revenue and earnings growth. We have strengthened management, recruiting, and operations across the organization and significantly improved the overall quality of our franchise and corporate distribution. This has driven meaningful improvement in new business productivity in the fourth quarter, particularly among our less than one-year tenured agents and franchises. We expect to achieve further productivity gains and total producer growth as we progress through 2023. I couldn’t be more excited about our positioning and runway for growth in our core operations and the increased potential for newer sources of growth as we ramp up our technology and partnership execution.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Results
For the fourth quarter of 2022, revenues were $57.4 million, an increase of 43% compared to the corresponding period in 2021. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other income, were $51.8 million, a 49% increase from $34.8 million in the prior-year period. Core Revenues are the most reliable revenue stream for the Company, consisting of New Business Commissions, Agency Fees, New Business Royalty Fees, Renewal Commissions, and Renewal Royalty Fees. Core Revenue growth was driven by growth in operating franchises, rising premium rates, improved productivity and strong client retention of 88%. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 44% in the fourth quarter.

Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $45.5 million, up 30% from $34.9 million in the prior-year period. The increase from the prior period was due to larger employee compensation and benefits expenses related to investments in franchise recruiters, service agents, and information systems. Equity-based compensation increased to $3.3 million for the period, compared to $1.6 million a year ago. The change in this non-cash item relates to the Black-Scholes valuation of newly issued options, which takes into account stock price on the grant date and historical volatility, among other inputs. Bad debt expense of $1.4 million increased from $1.2 million a year ago due to increased terminations of signed franchises that have yet to launch. General and Administrative expenses are also higher versus a year ago due to investments in technology, systems and marketing efforts to drive growth and continue to improve the client experience.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.6 million, with the increase due to strong client retention, driving high levels of profitable renewal commissions and royalty fees. Net income attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per basic and $0.02 diluted share. Adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2022, which excludes equity-based compensation, was $0.11 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $11.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $5.3 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 21% was up 8 percentage points in the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $28.7 million. We had an unused line of credit of $49.8 million as of December 31, 2022. Total outstanding term note payable balance was $94.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

2023 Outlook
The Company’s outlook for full year 2023 is as follows:

  • Total written premiums placed for 2023 are expected to be between $2.83 billion and $2.96 billion, representing organic growth of 28% on the low end of the range to 34% on the high end of the range.
  • Total revenues for 2023 are expected to be between $258 million and $267 million, representing organic growth of 23% on the low end of the range to 28% on the high end of the range.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to expand for the full year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP metric are not provided because they cannot be calculated without unreasonable efforts.

Reconciliation Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP

This release includes Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company refers to these measures as “non-GAAP financial measures.” The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating its performance and considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax position, depreciation, amortization and certain other items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business. The Company uses Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors.

These non-GAAP financial measures are defined by the Company as follows:

  • "Core Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Renewal Commissions, Renewal Royalty Fees, New Business Commissions, New Business Royalty Fees, and Agency Fees. We believe that Core Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes all of our revenues from sales of individual insurance policies.
  • "Cost Recovery Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Initial Franchise Fees and Interest Income. We believe that Cost Recovery Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are viewed by management as cost recovery mechanisms.
  • "Ancillary Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Contingent Commissions and Other Income. We believe that Ancillary Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are ancillary to our core business.
  • "Adjusted EBITDA" is a supplemental measure of the Company's performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation and other non-operating items, including, among other things, certain non-cash charges and certain non-recurring or non-operating gains or losses.
  • "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is Adjusted EBITDA as defined above, divided by total revenue excluding other non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level.
  • "Adjusted EPS" is a supplemental measure of our performance, defined as earnings per share (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before non-recurring or non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EPS is a useful measure to management because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance and helps measure our profitability on a consolidated level.

While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenues, net income, or earnings per share, in each case as recognized in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in the Company’s industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
