“Goosehead delivered another phenomenal quarter with sustained high levels of growth, profitability, and high retention driven by world-class client service.

Jones, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goosehead. “We have remained aggressively on offense and relentlessly externally focused on our clients and partners throughout the unique challenges that 2020 has presented. Independent agency distribution in US personal lines is positioned for future expansion, and our choice model, knowledgeable agents, best-in-class service, and industry leading proprietary technology are providing a superior client experience that we believe will drive continued significant share gains for Goosehead. Given the strength of our results through the first nine months of the year, we are pleased to raise our full-year outlook for total written premium and revenue. I am extremely proud of the determination and tireless focus of our people to continue to deliver for our clients and shareholders in these unprecedented times.”

Third Quarter 2020 Results
For the third quarter of 2020, revenues were $32.0 million, compared to $21.2 million in the corresponding period in 2019. If recognized under ASC 605, revenues would have been $30.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions and initial franchise fees, were $26.4 million, a 43% increase from $18.4 million in the prior year period. If reported under ASC 605, Core Revenues growth would have been 45%. 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 corporate agents and operating franchises, productivity improvements in the Franchise Channel, and continued high levels of retention. Total written premiums placed, which is a leading indicator of future revenue growth, grew 49% in the third quarter to $301 million, compared to $202 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $25.0 million, up 43% from $17.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase from the prior period was primarily due to larger



employee compensation and benefits expenses related to ongoing investments in our corporate agents, franchise sales team, and information systems developers. We also incurred $917 thousand of additional non-cash employee stock compensation expense for options granted in April 2020. The Company continued to invest in our technology roadmap, with enhancements to our client-facing portal and numerous additional carrier integration projects.

Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $6.7 million. Net income attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.3 million, or $0.19 per basic share and $0.17 per diluted share. Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2020, which excludes equity-based compensation, was $0.23 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, or $6.9 million if reported under ASC 605.

Nine Months 2020 Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenues were $82.4 million, compared to $63.7 million in the corresponding period in 2019. If recognized under ASC 605, revenues would have been $82.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Core Revenues were $69.3 million, a 39% increase from $49.8 million in the prior year period. If reported under ASC 605, Core Revenues increased 42%.

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
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.
The following tables show a reconciliation from total revenues to Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue (non-GAAP basis) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
