WESTLAKE, TEXAS - April 30, 2020 - Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (“Goosehead” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GSHD), a rapidly growing independent personal lines insurance agency, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. Beginning with the fourth quarter and full year 2019, the Company began reporting results under accounting standard ASC 606. The Company is using the modified retrospective approach to applying ASC 606 and accordingly prior period numbers have not been restated in the Form 10-Q to give effect to the application of ASC 606. A reconciliation of ASC 606 accounting to ASC 605 accounting for 2020 has been provided as a supplemental schedule in this earnings release.
First Quarter 2020 Highlights
• | Revenues of $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2020 as recognized under ASC 606, compared to $23.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 as recognized under ASC 605; revenues would have been $24.9 million for the first quarter of 2020 if recognized under ASC 605 |
• | Core Revenues* of $18.2 million as recognized under ASC 606; if recognized under ASC 605, Core Revenues increased 41% to $19.4 million |
• | Net loss attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. of $156 thousand or $0.01 per basic share and diluted share |
• | Adjusted EPS* of $0.00 per share |
• | Adjusted EBITDA* of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2020 as recognized under ASC 606 or $5.3 million if recorded under ASC 605 |
• | Total written premiums placed increased 46% from the prior-year period to $214 million |
• | Policies in force grew 45% from the prior-year period to 530,000 |
• | Corporate sales headcount of 241 was up 31% year-over-year |
• | Total franchises increased 45% compared to the prior year period to 1,012; total operating franchises grew 36% compared to the prior-year period to 679 |
*Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and basic earnings per share to Adjusted EPS, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release.
“The strong start to 2020 continues to validate our powerful and resilient growth model,” stated Mark E. Jones, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goosehead. “Our unique go to market strategy, continued investment in industry leading technology and human capital, and unmatched sales and service capabilities are driving strong new business growth, increased productivity, high retention levels at 88%, and unmatched client satisfaction with a net promoter score of 89. We are making significant investments in people and technology that we expect to drive future growth and continue our strong momentum for years to come. We expect that our shifting mix of business towards the Franchise Channel will continue to drive increasing embedded growth in revenue and earnings as new business converts to higher margin renewal business.”
“I am particularly proud of our results in light of the current challenges related to COVID-19. While quickly and seamlessly transitioning to a remote working environment, our sales and service efforts did not miss a beat as evidenced by our strong finish to the quarter and momentum we have continued to sustain into April. While a single month's worth of data is not comparable to a full quarter, preliminary year-over-year premium growth in April is estimated at over 40%1. The duration and impact of the current macro environment remains uncertain; however, we have built an unmatched and highly resilient platform that we believe leaves us well positioned to continue to play offense during this challenging period. I want to thank our employees and franchise agents for their tremendous efforts in continuing to deliver for our clients and drive our business for our shareholders.”
1This is a preliminary estimate based on currently available information, which is subject to change.
First Quarter 2020 Results
For the first quarter of 2020, revenues were $20.4 million, compared to $23.1 million in the year ago period. If recognized under ASC 605, revenues would have been $24.9 million for the first quarter of 2020. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions and initial franchise fees, were $18.2 million, a 32% increase from $13.8 million in the prior year period. If reported under ASC 605, Core Revenues increased 41%. Core Revenues refer to the most reliable revenue stream for the Company, consisting of New Business Commissions, Agency Fees, New Business Royalty Fees, Renewal Commissions and Renewal Royalty Fees. Core Revenues were driven by growth in corporate agents and operating franchises, productivity improvements in the Franchise Channel, and continued high levels of
retention. Total written premiums placed, which is a good indicator of future revenue growth, grew 46% in the first quarter to $214 million, compared to $147 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $20.2 million, up 40% from $14.4 million in the prior-year period. If recognized under ASC 605, operating expenses would have been $20.6 million. The increase from the prior period was primarily due to larger employee compensation and benefits expenses related to continued investment in corporate agent hiring and virtual sales coaching for our franchisees, additional recruiting headcount for corporate and franchise agents, and over $600,000 in costs associated with our annual internal meeting that, in 2019, were incurred in the second quarter. The Company also made continued investments in technology, such as our client-facing portal and numerous carrier integration projects. Additionally, the Company incurred over $300,000 in general and administrative expenses due to one-time investments in accounting process enhancements related to the ASC 606 implementation and continued Sarbanes-Oxley internal controls build-out.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $296 thousand. Net loss attributable to Goosehead Insurance, Inc. for the first quarter of 2020 was $156 thousand, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Adjusted EPS for the first quarter of 2020, which excludes equity-based compensation, was $0.00 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2020, or $5.3 million if reported under ASC 605, a decrease of 44%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.8 million, an unused line of credit of $19.7 million, and an outstanding notes payable of $46.4 million on its balance sheet. In order to maintain an efficient capital structure, on March 6, 2020, the company refinanced its $13.0 million revolving credit facility and $40.0 million term note payable to a $25.0 million revolving credit facility and $80.0 million term note payable agreement. The Company expects to draw down the remaining balance of the $80.0 million term note in June 2020.
2020 Outlook
Based on our experience to date, the Company is maintaining its full-year 2020 outlook with respect to written premiums and revenue:
• | Total written premiums placed for 2020 are expected to be between $975 million and $1.035 billion, representing organic growth of 32% on the low end of the range to 40% on the high end of the range. |
• | Total revenues for 2020 under ASC 606 revenue accounting are expected to be between $100 million and $105 million, representing organic growth of 29% on the low end of the range to 36% on the high end of the range. |

Reconciliation of Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS to Net Income
This release includes Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company refers to these measures as “non-GAAP financial measures.” The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating its performance and considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax position, depreciation, amortization and certain other items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business. The Company uses Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors.
These non-GAAP financial measures are defined by the Company as follows:
• | "Core Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Renewal Commissions, Renewal Royalty Fees, New Business Commissions, New Business Royalty Fees, and Agency Fees. We believe that Core Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes all of our revenues from sales of individual insurance policies. |
• | "Cost Recovery Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Initial Franchise Fees and Interest Income. We believe that Cost Recovery Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are viewed by management as cost recovery mechanisms. |
• | "Ancillary Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Contingent Commissions and Other Income. We believe that Ancillary Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are ancillary to our core business. |
• | "Adjusted EBITDA" is a supplemental measure of the Company's performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation and other non-operating items, including, among other things, certain non-cash charges and certain non-recurring or non-operating gains or losses. |
• | "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is Adjusted EBITDA as defined above, divided by total revenue excluding other non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level. |
• | "Adjusted EPS" is a supplemental measure of our performance, defined as earnings per share (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before non-recurring or non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EPS is a useful measure to management because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance and helps measure our profitability on a consolidated level. |
While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenues, net income, or earnings per share, in each case as recognized in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in the Company’s industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
