Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
In addition to results determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow. Management believes these measures provide useful supplemental information for investors by facilitating comparisons of performance across reporting periods and with other companies in the industry, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures.
However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not based on a standardized methodology, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures exclude items that may be significant to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations under GAAP. The use of non-GAAP financial measures involves management judgment regarding which items to exclude or include. Accordingly, these measures have limitations and should be viewed as a supplement to, not a replacement for, our GAAP results. Management urges investors to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures included in this report and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude income tax expense, interest expense, investment income, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of operating performance and to assess the results of the business excluding certain items that are not considered indicative of core operating results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently.
The reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented is as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Net income | $20,406 | $17,951 |
| Income tax expense | 7,181 | 6,244 |
| Investment income | (2,512) | (398) |
| Depreciation and amortization | 716 | 698 |
| Share-based compensation | 740 | 723 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $26,531 | $25,218 |
The Company did not have any interest expense for the periods presented.
Adjusted Revenue
We define Adjusted Revenue as the portion of revenue earned through services delivered directly via our proprietary platform technology. This metric excludes revenue associated with services primarily within claims management that are outsourced to a subsidiary of HCI Group, Inc. Although this revenue is recognized on a gross basis under GAAP because we are considered the principal in the transaction, the economics are largely neutral, as the related costs incurred from outsourced service providers closely match the revenue recognized. Management believes Adjusted Revenue provides investors with useful insight into the performance and scalability of our core platform services and reflects the revenue generated from internally delivered operations, excluding variability associated with outsourced service arrangements. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total revenue or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The reconciliation of the Adjusted Revenue for the periods presented is as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Revenue | $55,534 | $52,407 |
| Less: Outsourced claims fees | 1,529 | 2,255 |
| Adjusted Revenue | $54,005 | $50,152 |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue. This non-GAAP measure provides management and investors with additional insight into the Company's operating efficiency and the scalability of our business model, as it reflects our progress toward long-term profitability. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income margin, which is calculated as net income divided by GAAP revenue.
The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the periods presented is as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
|---|
| (in thousands, except percentages) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Numerator: Adjusted EBITDA | $26,531 | $25,218 |
| Denominator: Adjusted Revenue | 54,005 | 50,152 |
| Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 49.1% | 50.3% |
The inputs used to derive Adjusted EBITDA Margin are defined and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the preceding tables above. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income, and Adjusted Revenue is reconciled to GAAP revenue, in each case as presented elsewhere in this filing. Net income margin represents the comparable GAAP measure.
Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures during the period. We believe information regarding Free Cash Flow provides useful information to management and investors because it is an indicator of strength and performance of our business operations after funding capital expenditures. Capital expenditures consist of capitalized software development costs and costs relating to property and equipment, such as computer hardware, office furniture and equipment, and leasehold improvements. Free Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, or as a measure of liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow for the periods presented is as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Cash provided by operating activities | $25,472 | $19,772 |
| Less: Capital expenditures | 327 | 769 |
| Free Cash Flow | $25,145 | $19,003 |
