Commonly used defined terms
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, the following terms have the following meanings:
 
Agency Fees: Fees separate from commissions charged directly to clients for efforts performed in the issuance of new insurance policies.
Carrier: An insurance company.
Carrier Appointment: A contractual relationship with a Carrier.
Client Retention: 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.
Contingent Commission: Revenue in the form of contractual payments from Carriers contingent upon several factors, including growth and profitability of the business placed with the Carrier.
Corporate Channel: The Corporate Channel distributes insurance through a network of company-owned and financed operations with employees that are hired, trained and managed by Goosehead.
Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA: Segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization allocable to the Corporate Channel, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation.
Franchise Agreement: Agreements governing our relationships with Franchisees.
Franchise Channel: The Franchise Channel network consists of Franchisee operations that are owned and managed by Franchisees. These business owners have a contractual relationship with Goosehead to use our processes, training, implementation, systems and back-office support team to place insurance. In exchange, Goosehead is entitled to an Initial Franchise Fee and Royalty Fees.
Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA: Segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude other non-operating items allocable to the Franchise Channel and equity-based compensation.
Franchisee: An individual or entity who has entered into a Franchise Agreement with us.
Initial Franchise Fee: Contracted fees paid by Franchisees to compensate Goosehead for the training and onboarding of new franchise locations.

New Business Revenue (Corporate): Commissions received from Carriers and Agency Fees charged to clients relating to policies in their first term sold in the Corporate Channel.
NPS: Net Promoter Score is calculated based on a single question: “How likely are you to refer Goosehead Insurance to a friend, family member or colleague?” Customers 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.
Policies in Force: As of any reported date, the total count of current (non-cancelled) policies placed by us with our Carriers.
Pre-IPO LLC Members: The members of Goosehead Financial, LLC prior to the closing of the initial public offering of Goosehead Insurance, Inc.

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


1. Organization
On May 1, 2018 Goosehead Insurance, Inc. ("GSHD") completed an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 9,809,500 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, which included 1,279,500 shares issued pursuant to the underwriter's over-allotment option. GSHD became the sole managing member of Goosehead Financial, LLC (“GF”). GF was organized on January 1, 2016 as a Delaware Limited Liability Company and is headquartered in Westlake, TX. The operations of GF represent the predecessor to GSHD prior to the Offering, and the consolidated and combined entities of GF are described in more detail below. Information for any periods prior to May 1, 2018 relates to GF and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
GSHD (collectively with its combined and consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) provides personal and commercial property and casualty insurance brokerage services for its clients through a network of corporate-owned agencies and franchise units across the nation.
The operations of the corporate-owned units are recorded in Texas Wasatch Insurance Services, L.P. (“TWIS”)—a Texas limited partnership headquartered in Westlake, TX and operating since 2003. TWIS is 99.6% owned by Goosehead Insurance Holdings, LLC (“GIH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GF. The Company had seven and four corporate-owned locations in operation at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The operations of the franchise units are recorded in Goosehead Insurance Agency, LLC (“GIA”)—a Delaware limited liability company headquartered in Westlake, TX and operating since 2011. GIA is 100% owned by GIH. Franchisees are provided access to insurance Carrier Appointments, product training, technology infrastructure, client service centers and back office services. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company sold 55 and 34 franchise locations, respectively and had 385 and 244 operating franchise locations as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. No franchises were purchased by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.
In connection with the Offering, both Goosehead Management, LLC (“GM”) and Texas Wasatch Insurance Holdings Group LLC (“TWIHG”) became wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of GF. Both GM and TWIHG are non-operating holding companies created to receive management fees from the operating entities TWIS and GIA.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of GF.
Reorganization Transactions
In connection with the Offering, the company completed the following transactions (the "Reorganization Transactions"):
The GF limited liability company agreement was amended to, among other things, i) appoint GSHD as the sole managing member of GF and ii) modify the capital structure of GF by reclassifying the interests previously held by Pre-IPO LLC Members into a single new class of non-voting LLC Units.
GSHD was authorized to issue two classes of common stock. 9,809,500 shares of Class A common stock were issued pursuant to the Offering, including the underwriters' over-allotment option. 22,746,667 shares of Class B common stock were issued to the Pre-IPO LLC Members in an amount equal to the number of LLC Units held by each such Pre-IPO LLC Member in exchange for certain management rights of GF. Each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of GSHD's stockholders. Each share of Class B common stock can be exchanged for one share of Class A common stock or, at GSHD's discretion, a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock, thus canceling the share of Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis.
The Goosehead Management Holders and Texas Wasatch Holders indirectly transferred their ownership interests in GM and TWIHG, respectively, to GSHD in exchange for the Goosehead Management Note and Texas Wasatch Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Goosehead Management Note and the Texas Wasatch Note was approximately $114 million. Because the net proceeds from the Offering were insufficient to repay the aggregate principal amount of the notes, 3,723,767 shares of Class A common stock were issued to the Goosehead Management Holders and the Texas Wasatch Holders for the difference. GSHD contributed direct and indirect ownership interests in each of TWIHG and GM to GF.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Following completion of the Reorganization Transactions and the Offering, GSHD owns 37.3% of GF and the Pre-IPO LLC Members own the remaining 62.7%. GSHD is the sole managing member of GF and, although GSHD holds a minority economic interest in GF, GSHD has the sole voting power and control of management of GF. Accordingly, GSHD consolidates the financial results of GF and reports non-controlling interest in GSHD's consolidated financial statements.

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 position at June 30, 2018, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements that are included in the Final Prospectus.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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.

Capitalized IPO Related Costs

In connection with the Offering, the Company incurred costs which were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon completion of the Offering, these deferred costs were charged against the proceeds from the Offering with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital. There were $0 and $170 thousand of IPO related costs included in other assets at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Income Taxes

Prior to the Offering, GF was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, GF's taxable income or loss was included in the taxable income of its members. Accordingly, no income tax expense was recorded for federal and state and local jurisdictions for periods prior to the Offering.
In connection with the Offering completed on May 1, 2018, the Company became a taxable entity.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-18): This standard requires that the Statement of Cash Flows explain the changes during the period of cash and cash equivalents inclusive of amounts categorized as Restricted Cash. As such, upon adoption, the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows will show the sources and uses of cash that explain the movement in the balance of cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of restricted cash, over the period presented. As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the standard will become effective for the Company January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15): This standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified and applies to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The standard will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2016-15 and has determined the impact to be immaterial. The Company does not, at this time, engage in the activities being addressed by the standard.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09): This standard supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a new framework for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the standard is

11

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard also requires significantly more comprehensive disclosures than the existing standard. Guidance subsequent to ASU 2014-09 has been issued to clarify various provisions in the standard, including principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, licensing transactions, as well as various technical corrections and improvements. This standard may be adopted using either a retrospective or modified retrospective method. According to the superseding standard ASU 2015-14 that deferred the effective dates of the preceding, the standard will become effective for the Company January 1, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact this standard is expected to have on the consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt the modified retrospective method. The Company expects a material change in the timing of when Contingent Commissions and Initial Franchise Fees are recorded as revenue. As the Company continues the evaluation during 2018, specifically as it relates to revenue recognition (commissions, contingent commissions, and franchise fees, among others), cost deferrals, and systems and processes, the Company will further clarify the expected material impact of the adoption of the standard when it becomes known.
Leases (ASU 2016-02): This standard establishes a new lease accounting model, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. It should be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with the option to elect various practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will become effective for the Company January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

5. Note Payable
On October 27, 2016, GF entered into a credit agreement consisting of a revolving credit facility used for general liquidity and working capital and a note payable used to pay off existing debt and fund a distribution to members.
The $3,000,000 revolving credit facility accrues interest on amounts drawn at LIBOR plus 5.50%. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, GSHD and GF, respectively, had a letter of credit of $500,000 applied against the maximum borrowing availability, at an interest rate of 5.50%, thus amounts available to draw totaled $2,500,000. No interest was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2018 or during 2017 on the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions.
The note payable on the consolidated balance sheets includes a $50,000,000 term note payable in quarterly installments of $125,000 with a balloon payment of $47,250,000 on October 27, 2022. Interest is calculated at LIBOR plus 5.50% (7.59% and 6.45% at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017), and the note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions. The balance of the note payable was $49,375,000, of which $500,000 was current, and $49,625,000, of which $500,000 was current, at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Included as a reduction to the note payable are capitalized loan origination fees, the unamortized balance of which was $870,967 and $969,567 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The amortization of these loan origination fees is included in interest expense and totaled $49,300 and $98,600 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $33,000 and $66,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Maturities of note payable for the next five years are as follows:

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. 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, GSHD and GF, respectively, were in compliance with these covenants. Because of both instruments’ origination date and variable interest rate, the note

13

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

payable balance at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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.
The Company refinanced its credit facilities on August 3, 2018. See "Note 13: Subsequent Events" under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, expiring in various years through 2029. In addition to monthly lease payments, the lease agreements require the Company to reimburse the lessors for its portion of operating costs each year.
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2018:

7. Income Taxes
As a result of the Reorganization Transactions and the Offering, GSHD became 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
A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the income tax expense recognized is as follows:

Uncertain tax positions
GSHD has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2018.
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 us 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 six month period ended June 30, 2018, no distributions or redemptions were made that triggered an increase in GSHD's tax basis.


8. Other Income
On June 1, 2017, GF executed a buyout agreement with a franchisee per the terms of a franchise agreement executed in 2014. As part of the buyout, the departing franchisee purchased Goosehead’s economic interests in future royalty fees. Goosehead recognized a $3.5 million gain on the transaction in June 2017 which is included in Other income on the consolidated statement of income.

9. Stockholders' Equity
Class A Common Stock
GSHD has a total of 13,533,267 shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at June 30, 2018. 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
GSHD has a total of 22,746,667 shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at June 30, 2018. 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.

Non-Controlling Interests
Following the Offering, GSHD became 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, 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. Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if GSHD, at the election of a Pre-IPO LLC Member, redeems or exchanges LLC Units of such Pre-IPO LLC Member pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Except for transfers to GSHD pursuant to the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement or to certain permitted transferees, the Pre-IPO LLC Members are not permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any LLC Units or shares of Class B common stock.
The following table summarizes the ownership interest in GF as of June 30, 2018.

The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income to GSHD and the non-controlling interest holders. The non-controlling interest holders' weighted average ownership percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 62.7%. All net income prior to the Offering is attributed to non-controlling interest holders.
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 six months ended June 30, 2018, divided by the basic weighted average number of

16

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.

Class A common stock as of June 30, 2018. 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. We have 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.

(2) 1,649,866 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock because the effect would have been anti-dilutive, as we recorded a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
The following table sets forth the calculation of pro forma basic EPS based on pro forma net income attributable to GSHD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, divided by the pro forma basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of June 30, 2017. Pro forma diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing pro forma net income attributable to GSHD by the pro forma weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to pro forma potentially dilutive securities.

Class B unit compensation:
Prior to the Offering, certain Pre-IPO LLC Members held non-vesting and non-voting Class B units. In accordance with accounting guidance, any dividends paid to Class B unit holders are recognized as compensation expense when declared, as the Class B non-vesting units are considered to be a non-substantive class of equity. Dividends paid to Class B unit holders prior to the Offering, included in employee compensation and benefits, totaled $122 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and $185 thousand for the three and six ended June 30, 2017.
In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, immediately prior to the Offering, historical Class B interests in TWIHG and GM vested by converting to the Texas Wasatch Note and Goosehead Management Note, respectively, paid with a combination of proceeds from the Offering and shares of Class A common stock. This conversion changed the nature of the Class B interests from a profit sharing arrangement to a substantive class of equity and were expensed under the guidance of ASC 718. At the Offering price of $10.00 per share, GSHD incurred total compensation expense of $6.2 million in connection with the conversion. Class B interests in GF were also deemed vested by converting, along with all pre-offering Class A equity, on a one-to-one basis with the number of LLC units previously owned, to both LLC Units and shares of Class B common stock. This conversion changed the nature of the Class B interests from a profit sharing arrangement to a substantive class of equity and were expensed under the guidance of ASC 718. At the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, the Company issued a total of 1,978,058 LLC Units and shares of Class B common stock and incurred total compensation expense of $19.8 million as part of the conversion.

Stock options:
In connection with the IPO, GSHD granted 1,649,866 options to directors and certain employees. The stock options were granted with a strike price of $10.00 per share (the initial public offering price). The 364,866 director stock options vest quarterly over a three year period, and the 1,285,000 employee stock options vest annually from 2020 to 2022. The grant date fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:
Expected volatility
25
%
Expected dividend yield
%
Expected term (in years)
5.95

Risk-free interest rate
2.59
%
GSHD will recognize the total compensation expense of $5.2 million related to such option grants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award recipient (three years for directors and four years for certain employees).
In April 2018, GSHD adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which reserved 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for delivery to directors, officers, and managing directors in connection with future awards granted under the plan. GSHD also adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which reserved 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for delivery to employees. There were no shares outstanding on either of these plans at June 30, 2018.
11. Segment Information
The Company has two reportable segments: Corporate Channel and Franchise Channel. The Corporate Channel consists of company-owned and financed operations with employees who are hired, trained, and managed by Goosehead. The Franchise Channel network consists of franchisee operations that are owned and managed by individual business owners. These business owners have a contractual relationship with Goosehead to use the Company's processes, systems, and back-office support team to sell insurance and manage their business. In exchange, Goosehead is entitled to an initial franchise fee and ongoing royalty fees. Allocations of contingent commissions and certain operating expenses are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates primarily using revenue, headcount and other information. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation and other income (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a performance measure to manage resources and make decisions about the business. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table. There are no intersegment sales, only interest income and interest expense related to an intersegment line of credit, all of which eliminate in consolidation. The “Other” column includes any income and expenses not allocated to reportable segments and corporate-related items, including equity-based compensation, certain legal expenses and interest related to the note payable.

12. 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.
13. Subsequent Events
On August 3, 2018, the Company refinanced its $3.0 million revolving credit facility and $50.0 million term note payable to a $13.0 million revolving credit facility and $40.0 million term note payable in order to obtain a more favorable interest rate on the outstanding debt. The Company has the right, subject to approval by the administrative agent and each issuing bank, to increase the commitments under the credit facilities an additional $50.0 million.
The $13.0 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 August 3, 2018, the Company had $10.0 million drawn against the revolver. At August 3, 2018, the Company had a letter of credit of $500,000 applied against the maximum borrowing availability, thus amounts available to draw totaled $2,500,000. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions.

The $40.0 million term note is payable in quarterly installments of $500,000 the first twelve months, $750,000 the next twelve months, and $1,250,000 the last twelve months, with a balloon payment on August 3, 2021, and the note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions. Interest is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 2.50%, then at an interest rate based on the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period.
The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier are as follows:
Leverage Ratio
Interest Rate
< 1.50x
LIBOR + 175.0 bps
> 1.50x
LIBOR + 200.0 bps
> 2.50x
LIBOR + 225.0 bps
> 3.50x
LIBOR + 250.0 bps
Maturities of note payable for the next four years are as follows:
  
Amount

As of August 3, 2018:
 
2018
$
1,000,000

2019
2,500,000

2020
4,000,000

2021
32,500,000

 
$
40,000,000

The loan origination fees will be reflected as a reduction to the note balance and will be amortized through interest expense over three years (the term of the note payable). The amortization of these loan origination fees is included in interest expense. As part of the refinancing, $871 thousand of prior capitalized loan origination fees will be recognized as interest expense in the third quarter of 2018.
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. 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 August 3, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

New Business Revenue (Corporate) increased by $1.0 million, or 70%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $1.7 million, or 74%, to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Revenue from Agency Fees increased by $0.5 million, or 55%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $0.9 million, or 53%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in total sales agent head count to 148 at June 30, 2018, from 85 at June 30, 2017, a 74% increase.

25



Renewal Revenue (Corporate) increased by $722 thousand or 18%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $1.5 million or 20%, to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. These increases are primarily attributable to an increase in the number of policies in the renewal term from June 30, 2017 to 2018.
Revenue from Contingent Commissions in the Corporate Channel decreased by $148 thousand, or 81%, to $34 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $181 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $245 thousand, or 29%, to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $843 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease between the three month periods is due to the timing of the receipt of Contingent Commissions, as the Company typically receives the majority of contingent commissions during the first quarter of each year. The increase between the six month periods is primarily attributable to the increase in Total Written Premium from June 30, 2017 to 2018.
Revenue from Contingent Commissions in the Franchise Channel decreased $146 thousand, or 43% to $191 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $336 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased $782 thousand, or 68% to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease between the three month periods is due to the timing of the receipt of Contingent Commissions, as the Company typically receives the majority of contingent commissions during the first quarter of each year. The increase between the six month periods is primarily attributable to the increase in Total Written Premium from June 30, 2017 to 2018.

Revenue from New Business Royalty Fees increased by $0.4 million, or 50%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $0.7 million, or 45%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenue from New Business Royalty Fees was primarily attributable to an increase in the total number of operating franchises from June 30, 2017 to 2018.
Revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees increase by $1.1 million, or 53%, to $3.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , and increased by $1.8 million, or 52%, to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of policies in the renewal term, and the higher Royalty Fee rate on renewal business compared to new business (50% vs. 20%, respectively).
Revenues from Initial Franchise Fees increased by $480 thousand, or 45%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $890 thousand, or 38%, to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenue from Initial Franchise Fees was attributable to an increase in the total number of franchises that attended training from the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 to 2018.

Interest income
Interest income increased by $48 thousand, or 88%, to $102 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $54 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $83 thousand, or 81%, to $185 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $102 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to additional Franchise Agreements signed under the payment plan option.

26



Expenses
Employee compensation and benefits
Employee compensation and benefits expenses increased by $28.3 million, or 507%, to $33.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $30.2 million, or 290%, to $40.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to a $25.9 million increase in Class B unit compensation (of which $19.8 million was non-cash vesting of certain Pre-IPO LLC members' equity), a $260 thousand increase in non-cash stock option expense and an increase in total headcount from the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 50%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $1.6 million, or 40%, to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with an increase in operating franchises and employees, as well as higher rent expense at our new corporate headquarters.
Bad debts
Bad debts decreased by $17 thousand, or 5%, to $306 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $323 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $11 thousand, or 2%, to $586 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $575 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $192 thousand, or 122%, to $351 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $158 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $392 thousand, or 132%, to $687 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $296 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in fixed assets during the same period, including expansion of existing corporate offices and hardware for additional employees hired.
Interest expense
Interest expenses increased by $445 thousand, or 84%, to $972 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $527 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $908 thousand, or 86%, to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to the additional Term Loan balance added in 2017.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA is Segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization allocable to the Corporate Channel.
Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3 thousand, or 0%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $518 thousand, or 15%, to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is primarily attributable higher New Business Revenue (Corporate) from increased hiring and agent ramp-up, plus an increase in more profitable Renewal Revenue (Corporate), as described above, offset by a decrease in Contingent Commissions received due to timing and an increase in employee compensation and benefits from additional hiring.

Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA is Segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude other non-operating items.
Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA increased by $948 thousand, or 75%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and increased by $2.6 million, or 94%, to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in Initial Franchise Fees and New Business Revenue from an increase in operating agencies, an increase in more profitable Renewal Revenue, and an increase in Contingent Commissions, as described above.

Neither of Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA or Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA includes equity-based compensation, which is recorded at the consolidated level.

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. We believe that Total Written Premium is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it reflects growth of our business relative to other insurance agencies.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we had $132.6 million and $233.6 million in Total Written Premium, respectively, representing a 52% and 48% increase, compared to $87.5 million and $158.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

%
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 June 30, 2018, we had 282 thousand in Policies in Force compared to 228 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and 189 thousand as of June 30, 2017, representing a 24% and 49% 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 has increased to 87 as of June 30, 2018 from 86 as of December 31, 2017, primarily driven by the service team’s continued focus on delivering highly differentiated service levels.

28



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 has remained steady at 88% at June 30, 2018 from December 31, 2017, again driven by the service team’s continued focus on delivering highly differentiated service levels. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2018, we retained 95% of the premiums we distributed in the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2017, which is an increase from the 94% premium retention at December 31, 2017. 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 Royalty Fees relating to policies in their first term.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, New Business Revenue grew 60% to $5.0 million, from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, New Business Revenue grew by 60% to $8.8 million, from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Growth in New Business Revenue is driven by an increase in Corporate Channel sales agent headcount of 74% and growth in franchises in the Franchise Channel of 58%.
Renewal Revenue
Renewal Revenue is commissions received from the Carrier and Royalty Fees after the first term of a policy.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, Renewal Revenue grew 29% to $7.9 million, from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Renewal Revenue grew by 31% to $14.1 million, from $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Growth in Renewal Revenue was driven by Client Retention of 88% at June 30, 2018. As our agent force matures on both the Corporate Channel and the Franchise Channel, the policies they wrote in prior years begins to convert from New Business Revenue to more profitable Renewal Revenue.
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 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 gains or losses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $842 thousand, or 27%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, driven by Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA growth of $948 thousand. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.0 million, or 49%, to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, from $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, driven by Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA growth of $518 thousand and Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA growth of $2.6 million.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 27% and 31% compared to 29% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily driven by Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA Margin compression, offset by Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion. Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA Margin compression can be attributed to increased expenses driven by a 74% increase in Corporate Channel sales agent headcount. As these new sales agents ramp-up production and begin to receive Renewal Revenue (Corporate), we expect them to contribute to future Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion. Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion is attributed to growth in more profitable Renewal Revenue as a percentage of total revenue and the increase in Contingent Commissions.

29



Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in isolation or as substitutes for net income or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Liquidity and capital resources
Historical liquidity and capital resources
We have managed our historical liquidity and capital requirements primarily through the receipt of revenues from our Corporate Channel and our Franchise Channel. Our primary cash flow activities involve: (1) generating cash flow from Corporate Channel operations, which largely includes New Business Revenue (Corporate) and Renewal Revenue (Corporate); (2) generating cash flow from Franchise Channel operations, which largely includes Initial Franchise Fees and Royalty Fees; (3) making distributions to the Goosehead Management Holders and Texas Wasatch Holders; and (4) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under our Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $18.9 million. We have used cash flow from operations primarily to pay compensation and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses, debt service and distributions to our owners.

Credit agreement
On October 27, 2016, Goosehead Insurance Holdings, LLC, as borrower representative, entered into a credit agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Madison Capital Funding LLC, as agent, and the lenders party thereto, consisting of a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and $30,000,000 term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) used to pay off existing debt and fund a distribution to members. On July 14, 2017, Goosehead Insurance Holdings, LLC and the other loan parties entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which Goosehead Insurance Holdings, LLC borrowed an additional $10,000,000 term loan (the “First Additional Term Loan”) used to fund a distribution to members. On December 20, 2017, the Company executed the second amendment to the Credit Agreement to borrow an additional $10,000,000 term loan (together with the Initial Term Loan and the First Additional Term Loan, the “Term Loans”) for payment of a dividend to shareholders and to extend the maturity date of the Term Loans by one year. On April 4, 2018, Goosehead Insurance Holdings, LLC and the other loan parties amended and restated the Credit Agreement to permit the reorganization transactions in connection with the Offering. The aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans as of June 30, 2018 is $49,375,000, payable in quarterly installments of $125,000 with a balloon payment of $47,250,000 on October 27, 2022.
Interest on the Term Loans was calculated at LIBOR plus 5.5%. The Revolving Credit Facility accrued interest on amounts drawn at LIBOR plus 5.5%. No interest was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017 on the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility were collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which included rights to future commissions.

The Credit Agreement contained covenants that, among other things, restricted our ability to make certain restricted payments, incur additional debt, engage in certain asset sales, mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions, create liens on assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change our business or make investments. Following the Offering, the Credit Agreement continued to contain these covenants, including a covenant that restricted Goosehead Financial, LLC’s ability to make dividends or other distributions to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. We could voluntarily prepay in whole or in part the outstanding principal under our Term Loans at any time prior to the maturity date. In addition, the Credit Agreement contained financial covenants requiring us to maintain our fixed charge coverage ratio at or above 1.20 to 1.00 and total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) ratio at or below 5.25 to 1.0 (with scheduled annual step downs to 5.00 to 1.00, 4.75 to 1.00, 4.50 to 1.00 and 4.25 to 1.00). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, a change of control default would be triggered when any person or group other than Mark Jones and Robyn Jones or their controlled investment affiliates becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by our outstanding equity interests, unless Mark Jones and Robyn Jones or their controlled investment affiliates had the ability to elect or designate for election at least a majority of our board of directors. Such a default could result in the acceleration of repayment of our and our subsidiaries’ indebtedness, including borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility if not waived by the lenders under the Credit Agreement. The failure by Mark Jones and Robyn Jones to maintain either a minimum voting interest in us or the ability to elect or designate for election at least a majority of our board of directors could trigger a change of control default under our Credit Agreement.

On August 3, 2018, Goosehead Insurance Holdings, LLC, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “New
Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and the lenders party thereto, consisting of a
$13,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) and $40,000,000 term loan (the “New
Term Loan”) used to refinance the Credit Agreement, working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The Company has the right, subject to approval by the administrative agent and each issuing bank, to increase the commitments under the credit facilities an additional $50.0 million.

Interest on amounts drawn under the New Revolving Credit Facility is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 2.5%, then at an interest rate determined by the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At August 3, 2018, the Company had $10.0 million drawn against the revolver. At August 3, 2018 the Company had a letter of credit of $500,000 applied against the maximum borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, thus amounts available to draw totaled $2,500,000. The New Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions.

Interest on the New Term Loan is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 2.5%, then at an interest rate determined by the
Company’s leverage ratio for the preceding period. The New Term Loans are payable in quarterly installments of (x)
$500,000 from the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019, (y)
$750,000 from the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2019 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020 and

31



(z) $1,250,000 from the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021,
with a balloon payment of the entire unpaid principal amount of the New Term Loans on August 3, 2021. The New
Term Loans are collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future
commissions.

The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier are as follows:
Leverage Ratio

< 1.50x
LIBOR + 175.0 bps
> 1.50x
LIBOR + 200.0 bps

The loan origination fees will be reflected as a reduction to the note balance and will be amortized through interest expense over three years (the term of the note payable). The amortization of these loan origination fees is included in interest expense. As part of the refinancing, $871 thousand of prior capitalized loan origination fees will be recognized as interest expense in the third quarter of 2018.

The New Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to make certain restricted payments (including a covenant that restricts Goosehead Financial, LLC’s ability to make dividends or other distributions to Goosehead Insurance, Inc.), incur additional debt, engage in certain asset sales, mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions, create liens on assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change our business or make investments. We may voluntarily prepay in whole or in part the outstanding principal under our New Term Loans at any time prior to the maturity date. In addition, the New Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain our fixed charge coverage ratio at or above 1.20 to 1.00 and total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) ratio at or below 4.50 to 1.0 (with a step down to 4.00 to 1.00 with respect to any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2019). Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, a change of control default will be triggered when (x) any person or group other than Mark Jones and Robyn Jones or their controlled investment affiliates becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by our outstanding equity interests, unless Mark Jones and Robyn Jones or their controlled investment affiliates have the ability to elect or designate for election at least a majority of our board of directors or (y) Goosehead Insurance, Inc. ceases to directly own at least 35% of Goosehead Financial, LLC or Goosehead Insurance, Inc. ceases to be the managing member of Goosehead Financial, LLC. Such a default could result in the acceleration of repayment of our and our subsidiaries’ indebtedness, including borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility if not waived by the lenders under the New Credit Agreement. The failure by Mark Jones and Robyn Jones to maintain either a minimum voting interest in us or the ability to elect or designate for election at least a majority of our board of directors could trigger a change of control default under our New Credit Agreement.

As of August 3, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to a decrease of $28.2 million in net income, of which $26.3 million related to equity-based compensation, offsetting a $1.4 million increase in changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by a $747 thousand increase in changes in commissions and agency fees receivable.
Business investment activities
Net cash used in business investment activities was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to net cash used in business investment activities of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The primary uses of cash in business investment activities relate to purchase of fixed assets related to headcount increases, additional office space build-out in Houston, Austin, and the build-out of the new headquarters in Westlake, Texas, and changes in restricted cash balances, offset by cash receipts of notes receivable.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to activity related to the Offering, during which $86.9 million was received in proceeds and $76.5 million was distributed.
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 and (5) pay income taxes.
Dividend policy
There have been no material changes to our dividend policy as described in the Final Prospectus.

33



Tax receivable agreement

We expect to obtain an increase in our share of our tax basis of the assets when limited liability company units of GF are redeemed or exchanged by the Pre-IPO LLC Members and other qualifying transactions. This increase in tax basis may have the effect of reducing the future amounts paid to various tax authorities. The increase in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
We entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members on May 1, 2018 that will provide 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 GSHD’s assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement. See “Certain relationships and related party transactions—Tax receivable agreement” in the Final Prospectus.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, no distributions or redemptions were made that triggered an increase in our tax basis.

The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable operating leases. In addition to monthly lease payments, the lease agreements require the Company to reimburse the lessors for its portion of operating costs each year. Rent expense was $404,808 and $159,838 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Rent expense was $809,614 and $319,696 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
(2)
On October 27, 2016, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement consisting of a revolving credit facility of $3,000,000 and a term loan of $30,000,000 used to pay off existing debt and fund a distribution to members. On July 14, 2017, the Company executed the first amendment to the Credit Agreement to borrow an additional $10,000,000 term loan for payment of a dividend to shareholders. On December 20, 2017 the Company executed the second amendment to the Credit Agreement to borrow an additional $10,000,000 term loan for payment of a dividend to shareholders and to extend the maturity date of the term loans by one year.
(3)
The Company refinanced its credit facilities on August 3, 2018. See "Note 13: Subsequent Events" under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements except for those described under “Contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies” above.

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 Final Prospectus, other than the "Capitalized IPO Related Costs" as described in Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

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.

Emerging growth company
Pursuant to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by FASB or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. We intend to take advantage of the exemption for complying with new or revised accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies. We also intend take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks as described in "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" of the Final Prospectus.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in the Final Prospectus, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018.
In the Final Prospectus, we identified and reported material weaknesses regarding the lack of adequate (i) executive management review of our GAAP financial statements, (ii) review of our accounting policies, including recent accounting pronouncements and significant transactions for the periods presented and (iii) information technology general controls in the areas of user access and program change management for certain information technology systems.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we continued to implement certain measures to remediate these material weaknesses. For example, we implemented policies requiring our executive management and audit committee to review our financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. Additionally, we have implemented policies requiring our Chief Financial Officer, controller and assistant controller (who was recently hired to assist with financial reporting requirements) to systematically review and document all accounting policies and procedures around significant transactions to ensure compliance with the most recent GAAP pronouncements. We believe this plan effectively remediates the internal controls over financial reporting material weaknesses described above (i and ii), however the effectiveness of the new controls must be tested over a sufficient period of time. As such, the material weaknesses still exist as of June 30, 2018.
Additionally, to address the information technology general control material weakness described above in (iii), we have implemented a remediation plan that includes updating certain users' access to ensure that financial data is adequately restricted to appropriate personnel. We have also implemented program change management controls to ensure that any system changes are adequately reviewed and deployed through the appropriate personnel. We believe this plan effectively remediates this material weakness, however the effectiveness of the new controls must be tested over a sufficient period of time. As such, the material weaknesses still exist as of June 30, 2018.
No material costs were incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 relating to remediation efforts discussed above.

PART II

Item 1. Legal matters
The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item I, Note 7. Income Taxes.

Item 1A. Risk factors
There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in the Final Prospectus.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
The following list sets forth information regarding all securities sold or issued by us in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and the subsequent period prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q. No underwriters were involved in these sales. There was no general solicitation of investors or advertising, and we did not pay or give, directly or indirectly, any commission or other remuneration, in connection with the offering of these shares. In each of the transactions described below, the recipients of the securities represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions.
1.
Following the effectiveness of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-224080) filed in connection with the Offering, we issued 3,723,767 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with the Reorganization Transactions undertaken in connection with the Offering. These shares were issued to a limited number of investors, all of which had sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.
2.
Following the effectiveness of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, we issued 22,746,667 shares of our Class B common stock in connection with the reorganization transactions undertaken in connection with the Offering. These shares were issued to a limited number of investors, all of which had sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. The issued shares were exchanged on a pro rata basis and the consideration represents the same investment in the Goosehead Financial, LLC business already held by such investors, but in a different form.
The offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in (1) and (2) above were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The recipients in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.
Use of Proceeds
On April 26, 2018, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-224080) was declared effective by the SEC in connection with the Offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 9,809,500 shares of our Class A common stock (including 1,279,500 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per share. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as joint book-running managers in the Offering. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. acted as co-managers in the Offering. The Offering resulted in net proceeds of approximately $87 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and commissions of $7 million and other offering expenses of $4.25 million. 
We used the net proceeds to us from the base portion of the Offering (approximately $77 million) to effect partial repayment of notes issued by the Company in exchange for the transfer of certain ownership interests in Goosehead Management, LLC and Texas Wasatch Insurance Holdings Group, LLC held by their historical owners, which include certain members of the Company’s management and board of directors, including certain persons owning 10% or more of our common stock. We used the net proceeds to us from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase from Goosehead Financial, LLC a number of LLC Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. In turn, we intend to cause Goosehead Financial, LLC to use the proceeds it receives for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of debt.  Between the effective date of the Registration Statement and August 8,

36



2018, Goosehead Financial, LLC has used approximately $0 of the net proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. None of the net proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option were used to make payments, directly or indirectly, to (i) any of our directors, officers or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of our common shares or (iii) any of our affiliates. The intended use of the remaining net proceeds has not changed from the information mentioned in the Final Prospectus.
