2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial positions at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated results of operations, stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280 "Segment Reporting", and in the first quarter of 2022, the Company began reporting one operating segment due to changes in how the Company's chief operating decision maker assesses the Company's performance and allocates resources. See Note 12 "Segment Reporting".
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year. The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations of its revenue due to the timing of contingent commission revenue recognition and trends in housing market activity.
Impact of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Pandemic
To date, the pandemic has not increased our costs of or access to capital under our term note and revolving credit facility, and we do not believe it is reasonably likely to do so in the future. In addition, we do not believe that the pandemic will affect our ongoing ability to meet the covenants in our debt instruments, including under our term note and revolving credit facility. To date, the pandemic has not impacted the collectability of receivables or adversely affected our ability to generate new business, add new franchises, or retain existing franchises or policies. While contingent commissions initially benefited from lower loss ratios in the early part of the pandemic, we now anticipate lower contingent commissions as customers return to pre-pandemic driving patterns and loss ratios increase. Due to the nature of our business, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates as more information becomes known.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.
Restricted Cash
The Company holds premiums received from the insured, but not yet remitted to the insurance Carrier in a fiduciary capacity. Premiums received but not yet remitted included in restricted cash were $2.3 million and $1.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12): In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance primarily addresses how to (1) recognize a deferred tax liability after we transition to or from the equity method of accounting, (2) evaluate if a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill is related to a business combination or is a separate transaction, (3) recognize all of the effects of a change in tax law in the period of enactment, including adjusting the estimated annual tax rate, and (4) include the amount of tax based on income in the income tax provision and any incremental amount as a tax not based on income for hybrid tax regimes. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Reference Rate Reform (ASU 2020-04): In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04. Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP if certain criteria are met to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. A substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on USD-LIBOR. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard will ease, if warranted, the administrative requirements for accounting for the future effects of the rate reform. Our debt agreement contains a provision to move to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") if or when LIBOR is phased out.

3. Revenue
Commissions and fees
The Company earns new and renewal commissions paid by insurance Carriers and fees paid by its clients for the binding of insurance coverage. The transactions price is set as the estimated commissions to be received over the term of the policy based on an estimate of premiums placed, policy changes and cancellations, net of a constraint. These commissions and fees are earned at a point in time upon the effective date of bound insurance coverage, as no performance obligation exists after coverage is bound.
For Agency Fees, the Company enters into a contract with the insured, in which the Company's performance obligation is to place an insurance policy. The transaction price of the agency fee is set at the time the sale is agreed upon, and is included in the contract. Agency Fee revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is the effective date of the policy.
Contingent commission revenue is generated from contracts between the Company and insurance carriers, for which the Company is compensated for certain growth, profitability, or other performance-based metrics. The performance obligations for contingent commissions will vary by contract, but generally include the Company increasing profitable written premium with the insurance carrier. The transaction price for contingent commissions is estimated based on all available information and is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations, as the underlying policies are placed, net of a constraint.
Franchise revenues
Franchise revenues include initial franchise fees and ongoing new and renewal royalty fees from franchisees.
Revenue from initial franchise fees is generated from a contract between the Company and a franchisee. The Company's performance obligation is to provide initial training, onboarding, ongoing support and use of the Company's business operations over the period of the franchise agreement. The transaction price is set by the franchise agreement and revenue is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations.
Revenue from new and renewal royalty fees is recorded by applying the sales- and usage-based royalties exception. Under the sales- and usage-based exception, the Company estimates the anticipated amount of the royalties to be received over the term of the policy based on an estimate of premiums placed by the franchisee, policy changes, and cancellations, net of a constraint. Revenue from royalty fees is recognized over time as the placement of the underlying policies occur.
Contract costs
The Company has evaluated ASC Topic 340 - Other Assets and Deferred Cost (“ASC 340”) which requires companies to defer certain incremental cost to obtain customer contracts, and certain costs to fulfill customer contracts.
Incremental cost to obtain - The adoption of ASC 340 resulted in the Company deferring certain costs to obtain customer contracts primarily as they relate to commission-based compensation plans for the franchise sales team, in which the Company pays an incremental amount of compensation on new Franchise Agreements. These incremental costs are deferred and amortized over a 10-year period, which is consistent with the term of the contract.
Costs to fulfill - The Company has evaluated the need to capitalize costs to fulfill customer contracts and has determined that there are no costs that meet the definition for capitalization under ASC 340.

7. Debt
On July 21, 2021, the Company refinanced its $25.0 million revolving credit facility and $80.0 million term note payable to a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and $100.0 million term note payable to finance general corporate purposes and the special dividend. The Company also has the right, subject to approval by the administrative agent and each issuing bank, to increase the commitments under the credit facilities by an additional $25.0 million.
The $50.0 million revolving credit facility accrues interest on amounts drawn at an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%, then at an interest rate determined by the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At September 30, 2022 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 225 basis points. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $25.0 million drawn against the revolving credit facility and had a letter of credit of $0.2 million applied against the maximum borrowing availability, payable on July 21, 2026. Thus, amounts available to draw totaled $24.8 million. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions and royalties.
The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $0.6 million the first twelve months, $1.3 million the next twelve months, $1.9 million the next twelve months, and $2.5 million the last twenty-four months, with a balloon payment on July 21, 2026. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions and royalties. Interest is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 2.25%, then at an interest rate based on the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At September 30, 2022 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 225 basis points.
The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier is as follows:
| | | | | |
Leverage Ratio | Interest Rate |
< 1.50x | LIBOR + 175 bps |
> 1.50x | LIBOR + 200 bps |
> 2.50x | LIBOR + 225 bps |
> 3.50x | LIBOR + 250 bps |

Total | $ | 95,625 | |
The Company’s note payable agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants. Under these restrictions, the Company is limited in the amount of debt incurred and distributions payable. As of September 30, 2022, the Company's maximum allowable trailing twelve months debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit agreement, was 4x. In addition, the credit agreement contains certain change of control provisions that, if broken, would trigger a default. Finally, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Because of both instruments’ variable interest rate, the note payable balance at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximates fair value using Level 2 inputs, described below.
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
•Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets.
•Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset.
•Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
8. Income Taxes
GSHD is the sole managing member of GF, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, GF is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by GF is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including GSHD, on a pro rata basis. GSHD is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to GSHD's allocable share of income of GF.
Income tax expense (benefit)
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, as adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim periods. If, however, the entity is unable to reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate, then the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date may be the best estimate of the entity’s annual effective tax rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company determined that it was unable to make a reliable estimate of its annual effective tax rate due to the sensitivity of the rate as it relates to its forecasted full year 2022 results.

Goosehead Insurance, Inc. |
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Therefore, the Company recorded a tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 based on its actual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $(0.7) million and $(0.1) million compared to $(2.6) million and $(2.6) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was (28)% and 179% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and (92)% and (55)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a increase in exercises of employee stock options.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets at September 30, 2022 were $140.2 million compared to $125.7 million at December 31, 2021. The primary contributing factor to the increase in deferred tax assets is additional redemptions of LLC Units of GF for shares of Class A common stock of GSHD during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Tax Receivable Agreement
GF intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Units and corresponding Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock occurs. Future taxable redemptions or exchanges are expected to result in tax basis adjustments to the assets of GF that will be allocated to the Company and thus produce favorable tax attributes. These tax attributes would not be available to GSHD in the absence of those transactions. The anticipated tax basis adjustments are expected to reduce the amount of tax that GSHD would otherwise be required to pay in the future.
GSHD entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members on May 1, 2018 that provides for the payment by GSHD to the Pre-IPO LLC Members of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that GSHD actually realizes as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in GSHD's assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, an aggregate of 491,938 and 707,395 LLC Units were redeemed by the Pre-IPO LLC Members for newly issued shares of Class A common stock. In connection with these redemptions, GSHD received 491,938 and 707,395 LLC Units, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of its investment in GF subject to the provisions of the tax receivable agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the redemptions of LLC Units, after concluding it was probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on its estimates of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2022, the total amount of TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members under the tax receivable agreement was $112.8 million, of which $0.4 million was current and included in Accounts payables and accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Future exchanges of LLC Units for Class A common stock will result in additional TRA payments.
Uncertain tax positions
GSHD has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022.
9. Stockholders' Equity
Class A Common Stock
GSHD has a total of 21,202 shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at September 30, 2022. Each share of Class A common stock holds economic rights and entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD.
Class B Common Stock
| | |
Goosehead Insurance, Inc. |
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
GSHD has a total of 16,201 shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at September 30, 2022. Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD.
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to GSHD's shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law, by agreement, or by GSHD's certificate of incorporation.
Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") based on net income attributable to GSHD for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except per share amounts). Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to GSHD by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The Company has not included the effects of conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares in the diluted EPS calculation using the "if-converted" method, because doing so has no impact on diluted EPS. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

10. Non-controlling interest
GSHD is the sole managing member of GF and, as a result, it consolidates the financial results of GF. GSHD reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in GF held by the other members of GF.
Under the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement, the Pre-IPO LLC Members have the right, from and after the completion of the Offering (subject to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement), to require GSHD to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at GSHD's election,

Goosehead Insurance, Inc. |
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of GSHD's Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a Pre-IPO LLC Member, GSHD may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption.

12. Segment Information
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Management views the Company’s operations and manages its business as one operating segment. Accordingly, the Company determined that it operates in a single reportable segment. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States. As a result, beginning with the first quarter of 2022, GSHD has modified the presentation of its segment financial information with retrospective application to all prior periods presented. Since the Company operates in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
13. Litigation
From time to time, GSHD may be involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of the Company's business. The amount of any loss from the ultimate outcomes is not probable or reasonably estimable. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of outstanding claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
14. Subsequent Events
On October 11, 2022, the Company paid down the $25.0 million drawn on the revolving credit facility.

COVID-19
For over two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted businesses in the U.S. and globally. Our business has remained resilient throughout the pandemic and demand for our services remains strong. However, uncertainty remains regarding the economic outlook and the ultimate duration, spread and severity of COVID-19, and its variant strains, the availability, effectiveness and utilization of vaccines, and the adverse effects on the national and global economy, home sales and consumer spending. As a result, the related financial impact on our business cannot be accurately predicted at this time. We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from the authorities, including federal, state and local public health officials and as a result may take additional actions. While we intend to continue to execute on our strategic plans and operational initiatives during the outbreak, in these
circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. The pandemic has also contributed to inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, and these challenges could persist if governments continue to impose lockdowns, quarantine requirements and other restrictions in order to control rates of COVID-19 infections. For example, increased inflation may result in decreased demand for our services, increases in our operating costs (including our compensation costs), reduced liquidity, and limits on our ability to access credit or otherwise raise capital. See Item 1A. Risk factors - Risk relating to our business—The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy in a significant manner and may continue to do so for an extended period of time, and could also materially adversely affect our business and operating results in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, revenue increased by 38% to $57.7 million from $41.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue increased by 37% to $152.0 million from $111.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Total Written Premium growth, which is the best leading indicator of future revenue growth, was 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Total Written Premium increased to $616 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $435 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Total written premium increased by 42% to $1.632 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $1.153 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Total Written Premiums drive our current and future Core Revenue and gives us potential opportunities to earn Ancillary Revenue in the form of Contingent Commissions.
Our various revenue streams do not equally contribute to the long-term value of Goosehead. For instance, Renewal Revenue and Renewal Royalty Fees are more predictable and have higher margin profiles, thus are higher quality revenue streams for the Company. Alternatively, Contingent Commissions, while high margin, are unpredictable and dependent on insurance company underwriting and forces of nature and thus are lower quality revenue for the Company. Our revenue streams can be viewed in three distinct categories: Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue, which are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue to total revenue, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are set forth under "Key performance indicators".
Core Revenue:
•Renewal Commissions - highly predictable, higher-margin revenue stream, which is managed by our service team.
•Renewal Royalty Fees - highly predictable, higher-margin revenue stream, which is managed by our service team. For policies in their first renewal term, we see an increase in our share of royalties from 20% to 50% on the commission paid by the Carriers.
•New Business Commissions - predictable based on agent headcount and consistent ramp-up of agents, but lower margin than Renewal Commissions because of higher commissions paid to agents and higher back-office costs associated with policies in their first term. This revenue stream has predictably converted into higher-margin Renewal Commissions historically, and we expect this to continue moving forward.
•New Business Royalty Fees - predictable based on franchise count and consistent ramp-up of franchises, but lower margin than Renewal Royalty Fees because the Company only receives a royalty fee of 20% on the commissions paid by the Carrier in the first term of every policy and higher back-office costs associated with policies in their first term. This revenue stream has predictably converted into higher-margin Renewal Royalty Fees historically, and we expect this to continue moving forward.
•Agency Fees - although predictable based on agent count, Agency Fees do not renew like New Business Commissions and Renewal Commissions.
Cost Recovery Revenue:
•Initial Franchise Fees - one-time Cost Recovery Revenue stream per franchise unit that covers the Company's costs to recruit, train, onboard, and support the franchise for the first year. These fees are fully earned and non-refundable when a franchise attends our initial training.
•Interest Income - like Initial Franchise Fees, interest income is a Cost Recovery Revenue stream that reimburses the Company for those franchises on a payment plan.
Ancillary Revenue:
•Contingent Commissions - although high margin, Contingent Commissions are unpredictable and susceptible to weather events and Carrier underwriting results. Management does not rely on Contingent Commissions for operating cash flow or budget planning.
•Other Franchise Revenues - book transfer fees, marketing investments from Carriers and other items that are unpredictable and supplemental to other revenue streams.
We discuss below the breakdown of our revenue by stream:

Renewal Commissions increased by $5.5 million or 50%, to $16.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Renewal Commissions increased by $12.2 million or 42%, to $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of policies in the renewal term from September 30, 2021 to September 30, 2022 as well as steady client retention of 88% as of September 30, 2022.
New Business Commissions remained flat at approximately $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. New Business Commission increased by $1.7 million or 10%, to $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Revenue from Contingent Commissions decreased by $0.4 million, to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The increase in revenue from New Business Royalty Fees was primarily attributable to a 23% increase in the total number of operating franchises to 1,403 at September 30, 2022, from 1,139 at September 30, 2021.
Revenue from Initial Franchise Fees increased by $1.4 million, or 82%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue from Initial Franchise Fees increased by $3.4 million, or 74%, to $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary reason for this increase is an increase of 17% in total franchises to 2,287 at September 30, 2022, from 1,958 at September 30, 2021 and higher turnover of franchises during the quarter, which accelerates recognition of Initial Franchise Fees for terminated franchises.
Interest income
Interest income increased by $0.1 million, or 21%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest income increased by $0.2 million, or 20%, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to additional Franchise Agreements signed under the payment plan option.
Expenses
Employee compensation and benefits
Employee compensation and benefits expenses increased by $10.3 million, or 39%, to $36.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $26.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Employee compensation and benefits expenses increased by $29.6 million, or 42%, to $99.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $69.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is caused by a 19% increase in total headcount from 2021 to 2022, as well as an increase in equity-based compensation of 190% related to stock option awards during the year.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 33%, to $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. General and administrative expenses increased by $9.8 million, or 33%, to $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with an increase in operating franchises, total employees, addition of three new corporate office locations, and investments made in technology. Additionally, the Company hosted its annual Ascend meeting in February 2022, which did not take place in 2021 due to COVID.
Bad debts
Bad debts increased by $1.6 million, or 215%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Bad debts increased by $2.9 million, or 161%, to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in bad debts is attributable to an increase in total franchises combined with higher franchise turnover during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.6 million, or 52%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.7 million, or 52%, to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in fixed assets since September 30, 2021, including the expansion of existing corporate offices and computer equipment for additional employees hired.
Interest expense
Interest expenses increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, to $1.4 million from $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest expenses increased by $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, to $3.4 million from $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary driver of the increase in interest expense is the increase in the interest rate environment and total borrowing outstanding.
Key performance indicators
Our key operating metrics are discussed below:
Total Written Premium
Total Written Premium represents for any reported period, the total amount of current (non-cancelled) gross premium that is placed with Goosehead’s portfolio of Carriers. Total Written Premium placed is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it reflects growth of our business relative to other insurance agencies.
The following tables show Total Written Premium placed by corporate agents and franchisees for the three and nine months ended and 2022 and 2021 (in thousands). | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | % Change |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | |
Corporate sales Total Written Premium | | $ | 151,212 | | | $ | 116,605 | | | 30 | % |
Franchise sales Total Written Premium | | 464,363 | | | 318,147 | | | 46 | % |
Total Written Premium | | $ | 615,575 | | | $ | 434,752 | | | 42 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | 2022 | | 2021 | | |
Corporate sales Total Written Premium | | $ | 408,450 | | | $ | 318,008 | | | 28 | % |
Franchise sales Total Written Premium | | 1,223,997 | | | 834,559 | | | 47 | % |
Total Written Premium | | $ | 1,632,447 | | | $ | 1,152,567 | | | 42 | % |
Policies in Force
Policies in Force means as of any reported date, the total count of current (non-cancelled) policies placed with Goosehead’s portfolio of Carriers. We believe that Policies in Force is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it reflects growth of our business relative to other insurance agencies.
As of September 30, 2022, we had 1,238,000 in Policies in Force compared to 1,011,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 948,000 as of September 30, 2021, representing a 22% and 31% increase, respectively.
NPS
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is calculated based on a single question: “How likely are you to refer Goosehead Insurance to a friend, family member or colleague?” Clients that respond with a 6 or below are Detractors, a
score of 7 or 8 are called Passives, and a 9 or 10 are Promoters. NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. For example, if 50% of respondents were Promoters and 10% were Detractors, NPS is a 40. NPS is a useful gauge of the loyalty of client relationships and can be compared across companies and industries.
NPS decreased modestly to 90 as of September 30, 2022, from 92 as of September 30, 2021.
Client retention
Client Retention is calculated by comparing the number of all clients that had at least one policy in force twelve months prior to the date of measurement and still have at least one policy in force at the date of measurement. We believe Client Retention is useful as a measure of how well Goosehead retains clients year-over-year and minimizes defections.
Client Retention dipped slightly to 88% at September 30, 2022 when compared to 89% at December 31, 2021. For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022, we retained 98% of the premiums we distributed in the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021, which increased from the 93% premium retention at December 31, 2021. Our premium retention rate is higher than our Client Retention rate as a result of both premiums increasing year over year and additional coverages sold by our sales and service teams.
New Business Revenue
New Business Revenue is commissions received from the Carrier, Agency Fees received from clients, and New Business Royalty Fees relating to policies in their first term.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, New Business Revenue grew 6% to $13.8 million, from $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, New Business Revenue grew 13% to $40.8 million, from $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Growth in New Business Revenue is primarily driven by growth in operating franchises of 23%.
Renewal Revenue
Renewal Revenue is commissions received from the Carrier and Renewal Royalty Fees received after the first term of a policy.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Renewal Revenue grew 57% to $38.1 million, from $24.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Renewal Revenue grew 53% to $95.7 million, from $62.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Growth in Renewal Revenue was driven by Client Retention of 88% at September 30, 2022, and rising premium rates. As our agent force matures, the policies they wrote in prior years begins to convert from New Business Revenue to more profitable Renewal Revenue.
Non-GAAP Measures
Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for total revenue (with respect to Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue and Ancillary Revenue), net income (with respect to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin) or earnings per share (with respect to Adjusted EPS), which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We refer to these measures as "non-GAAP financial measures." We consider 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 we believe are not representative of our core business. Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as substitutes for total revenue, net income, earnings per share, as applicable, or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Core Revenue
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.
Core Revenue increased by $14.6 million, or 39%, to $51.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Core Revenue increased by $37.8 million, or 38%, to $136.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $98.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary drivers of the increase are increases in operating franchises, the number of policies in the renewal term from September 30, 2021 to September 30, 2022, as well as continued strong client retention of 88% as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Cost Recovery Revenue
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.
Cost Recovery Revenue increased by $1.4 million, or 73%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost Recovery Revenue increased by $3.5 million, or 65%, to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary driver of the increase is an increase in total franchises from September 30, 2021 to September 30, 2022.
Ancillary Revenue
Ancillary Revenue is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Contingent Commissions and Other Franchise Revenues. We believe that Ancillary Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are ancillary to our core business.
Ancillary Revenue decreased by $0.1 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Ancillary Revenue decreased by $0.5 million to $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our 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 increased by $4.4 million, or 67%, to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $9.3 million, or 60%, to $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary driver of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter and year to date is growing Core Revenue combined with slower growth in General and Administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 19% compared to 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 16% compared to 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary drivers of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA Margin are growing Core Revenue combined with slower growth in General and Administrative expenses.
Adjusted EPS
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.

Liquidity and capital resources
Liquidity and capital resources
We have managed our historical liquidity and capital requirements primarily through the receipt of revenues. Our primary cash flow activities involve: (1) generating cash flow from Commissions and Fees, which largely includes New Business Revenue, Renewal Revenue, and Agency Fees; (2) generating cash flow from Franchise Revenues operations, which largely includes Initial Franchise Fees and Royalty Fees; (3) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under our credit agreement; and (4) issuing shares of Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $46.1 million. We have used cash flow from operations primarily to pay compensation and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses, debt service, special dividends and distributions to our owners.
Credit agreement
See "Note 7. Debt" in the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of the Company's credit facilities.
Comparative cash flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | Change |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 33,017 | | | $ | 26,803 | | | $ | 6,214 | |
Net cash used for investing activities | | (16,833) | | | (10,146) | | | (6,687) | |
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities | | 1,707 | | | (16,202) | | | 17,909 | |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | | 17,891 | | | 455 | | | 17,436 | |
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, beginning of period | | 30,479 | | | 26,236 | | | 4,243 | |
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, end of period | | $ | 48,370 | | | $ | 26,691 | | | $ | 21,679 | |
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $33.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase in net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to an increase in equity based compensation of $10.7 million, offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Investing activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash used for investing activities of $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by an increase in the purchase of assets.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to net cash used for financing activities of $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase in net cash provided by financing activities was attributable to the payment of a $60.0 million dividend, offset by a $44.6 million increase in note payables in nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Future sources and uses of liquidity
Our sources of liquidity are (1) cash on hand, (2) net working capital, (3) cash flows from operations and (4) our revolving credit facility. Based on our current expectations, we believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and to meet our commitments in the foreseeable future.
We expect that our primary liquidity needs will comprise cash to (1) provide capital to facilitate the organic growth of our business, (2) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees, (3) make payments under the tax receivable agreement, (4) pay interest and principal due on borrowings under our Credit Agreement (5) pay income taxes, and (6) when deemed advisable by our board of directors, pay dividends.
Dividend policy
There have been no material changes to our dividend policy as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Tax receivable agreement
We entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members on May 1, 2018 that provides for the payment by us to the Pre-IPO LLC Members of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in Goosehead Insurance, Inc.’s assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement. See "Item 13. Certain relationships and related transactions, and director independence" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Holders of Goosehead Financial, LLC Units (other than Goosehead Insurance, Inc.) may, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions described above, redeem or exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. on a one-for-one basis. Goosehead Financial, LLC intends to make an
election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock occurs, which is expected to result in increases to the tax basis of the assets of Goosehead Financial, LLC at the time of a redemption or exchange of LLC Units. The redemptions or exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Goosehead Financial, LLC. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Goosehead Insurance, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members that provides for the payment by us to the Pre-IPO LLC Members of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in Goosehead Insurance, Inc.’s assets resulting from (a) the purchase of LLC Units from any of the Pre-IPO LLC Members using the net proceeds from any future offering, (b) redemptions or exchanges by the Pre-IPO LLC Members of LLC Units for shares of our Class A common stock or (c) payments under the tax receivable agreement and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement. This payment obligation is an obligation of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. and not of Goosehead Financial, LLC. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the cash tax savings in income tax will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Goosehead Insurance, Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of Goosehead Financial, LLC as a result of the redemptions or exchanges and had Goosehead Insurance, Inc. not entered into the tax receivable agreement. Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the tax receivable agreement is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. While the actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the tax receivable agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges, the price of shares of our Class A common stock at the time of the redemption or exchange, the extent to which such redemptions or exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income. See "Item 13. Certain relationships and related transactions, and director independence" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We anticipate that we will account for the effects of these increases in tax basis and associated payments under the tax receivable agreement arising from future redemptions or exchanges as follows:
•we will record an increase in deferred tax assets for the estimated income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state tax rates at the date of the redemption or exchange;
•to the extent we estimate that we will not realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset, based on an analysis that will consider, among other things, our expectation of future earnings, we will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance; and
•we will record 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefit (which is the recorded deferred tax asset less any recorded valuation allowance) as an increase to the liability due under the tax receivable agreement and the remaining 15% of the estimated realizable tax benefit as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
All of the effects of changes in any of our estimates after the date of the redemption or exchange will be included in net income. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Critical accounting policies
Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Variances in the estimates or assumptions used to actual experience could yield materially different accounting results. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the continued appropriateness of our accounting policies and resulting estimates to make adjustments we consider appropriate under the facts and circumstances. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent accounting pronouncements
See "Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks as described in "Item 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosure of market risks" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company agrees that to the extent Employee has any personal information on Employee’s laptop returned to the Company, the Company will treat it as confidential.
1.Mutual Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees that the Company’s goodwill and reputation are assets of great value to the Company which have been obtained and maintained through great costs, time and effort.

The Company agrees that its executive officers and managing directors shall not in any way disparage, libel or defame Employee.
The rights afforded the Parties under this provision are in addition to any and all rights and remedies otherwise afforded by law. This provision shall not preclude the Parties from providing truthful testimony in a court of law, administrative or arbitral proceeding or a government investigation (including without limitation depositions in connection with such proceeding). Nothing in this Section 7 is intended to interfere with a Party’s rights in Section 4.

non-competition or non-solicitation agreements, if any, between Employee and the Company, the Parties agree as follows:
a.Employee may pursue opportunities and conduct business in any manner with Michael C. Colby, Matthew C. Colby, or Madde Borg in connection with any business not competing in the Same or Similar Business (as defined in the Non-Competition Agreement) as the Company and such actions, if any, shall not constitute a violation of the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of the Non-Competition Agreement.
a.Employee may submit one or more requests that the Company consent to a limited exception or exemption to any restrictions in the Non-Competition Agreement by sending the request(s) in writing to the Company, ATTN: General Counsel at legal@goosehead.com, with truthful information regarding the opportunity and the rationale for the request. Employee will reasonably cooperate with any investigation by the Company of Employee’s request and within ten (10) business days of Employee’s request, the Company will provide Employee with a written response regarding whether Employee’s request is granted, and if not granted in whole, the response will include an explanation of why denial is reasonable if the request is denied. Consent to any requested exception or exemption to the Non- Competition Agreement will not be unreasonably withheld by the Company.
In the event of any conflict between this Section 8 and the Non-Competition Agreement, and any other non- competition or non-solicitation agreements, if any, between Employee and the Company, the terms and conditions of this Section 8 will control.
1.Cooperation. As a further material inducement to the Company to provide Employee the consideration provided for in Section 2 and subject to Section 4, Employee agrees to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance, at the request of the Company, in any and all investigations or other legal, equitable or business matters or proceedings which involve any matters for which Employee worked on or had responsibility during Employee’s employment with the Company. This includes but is not limited to testifying (and preparing to testify) as a witness in any proceeding or otherwise providing information or reasonable assistance to the Company in connection with any investigation, claim or suit, and cooperating with the Company regarding any investigation, litigation, claims or other disputed items involving the Company that relate to matters within the knowledge or responsibility of Employee.

Employee shall receive no additional compensation for time spent assisting the Company pursuant to this Section 9 other than the compensation and benefits provided for in this Agreement, provided that Employee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in fulfilling Employee’s obligations pursuant to subsections (i) and (ii) above. Nothing in this Section 9 is intended to interfere with Employee’s rights in Section 4.
1.Reference. The Company agrees to provide a neutral reference regarding Employee’s employment with the Company, providing Employee’s duties, salary and dates of employment in accordance with the Company’s policy. Upon request, the Company will promptly provide a letter to Employee with the neutral reference, signed by an executive officer of the Company.
1.No Assignment of Claims. Employee represents that Employee has not transferred or assigned, to any person or entity, any claim involving the Company or the Released Parties, or any portion thereof or interest therein. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit payment of any amounts due to Employee under this Agreement to Employee’s estate or legal guardian.
1.Arbitration; Controlling Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Arbitration Agreement shall govern any and all disputes that arise out or relate to this Agreement. This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced, and governed under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any conflict of law principles. The Company and Employee agree that the language in this Agreement shall, in all cases, be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for, or against, either of the Parties. To the extent any claim or dispute is not covered by the Arbitration Agreement, exclusive venue of any claim or dispute shall be in a state district court of competent jurisdiction in Tarrant County, Texas, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, and Employee consents to the jurisdiction of such courts.
WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN EMPLOYEE AND THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE AGREES TO RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTE(S) BEFORE A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY. EMPLOYEE HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROVISION AND AGREES TO HEREBY WAIVE EMPLOYEE’S RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND AGREES TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE(S) ARISING BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT RESOLVED BY A JUDGE OF A COMPETENT COURT IN TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NOTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
1.Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or determined to be illegal or invalid by any government agency or court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and such provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Upon any finding by any government agency or court of competent jurisdiction that Section 3 above is illegal or invalid, Employee agrees to execute a valid and enforceable general release.
1.Breach of Agreement. In the event Employee materially breaches any portion, or challenges the enforceability, of this Agreement, Employee (i) forfeits all Consulting Benefits from the date of such breach or threatened breach; provided that (A) the Company provides Employee seven (7) days written notice (“Notice Period”) to Employee’s personal email address on file with the Company and his counsel, Donald Kaczkowski at dak@mcdonaldlaw.com, explaining the alleged breach or threatened breach, and (B) Employee does not promptly thereafter cure any curable breach during the Notice Period,
(ii) pay the Company for all attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs the Company incurs in any action arising out of Employee’s breach or threatened breach of this Agreement if the Company prevails in any legal action arising out of Employee’s breach/threatened breach, and (iii) pay the Company for any and all other damages to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity as a result of a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall Employee forfeit compensation already received under Section 2(a)(i) prior to the end of the Notice Period. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee will not, and may not, exercise any stock options under an Award Agreement during the Notice Period. In addition, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may withhold from any payments due under this Agreement any amounts owed by Employee to the Company. If the Company materially breaches this Agreement, then the Company shall pay for Employee’s attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs incurred in any legal action arising out of the Company’s breach or threatened breach of this Agreement if the Employee prevails in any such action.
