Insights

Corporate Financial Analyst

EverQuote reported strong Q3 2025 revenue and profit expansion, with share repurchases and positive near-term guidance.

EverQuote grew total revenue to 173.9 million, up 20% year‑over‑year, and GAAP net income rose to 18.9 million, up 63%. Adjusted EBITDA increased to 25.1 million, a 33% rise, and margin expanded to 14.4%, showing improved operating leverage.

Key dependencies and risks include reliance on the property and casualty insurance sector and a small number of large insurance providers for revenue, both stated concerns. Watch the company’s Fourth Quarter 2025 guidance: revenue of 174.0 - 180.0 million, Variable Marketing Dollars of 46.0 - 48.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of 21.0 - 23.0 million for confirmation of momentum over the next quarter.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EverQuote, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVER), a leading online insurance marketplace, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“In the third quarter, we achieved record top and bottom line performance and we are making steady progress towards our vision of becoming the leading growth partner to P&C insurance providers,” said Jayme Mendal, CEO of EverQuote. “We are innovating new products, releasing features and further embedding AI into our marketplace to accelerate our transformation from a lead generation vendor to a multi-product, AI-powered profitable growth solutions provider for carriers and agents. As we introduce machine learning and AI more broadly across the business, we continue making great progress, highlighted by a number of records this quarter.”

“We reported record financial performance across several metrics in the third quarter. We grew revenue 20% and Adjusted EBITDA 33%, year-over-year, by utilizing AI and other technology investments while delivering incremental operational leverage and efficiency,” said Joseph Sanborn, CFO of EverQuote. “During the quarter, EverQuote efficiently executed $21 million of our share buyback program without adversely impacting liquidity in our public float. This repurchase reiterates our confidence in EverQuote’s ability to generate long-term sustainable growth and free cash flow, while maintaining a strong balance sheet.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:
(Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are relative to the third quarter of 2024).

• Total revenue grew 20% to $173.9 million.
• Automotive insurance vertical revenue of $157.6 million, an increase of 21%.
• Home and renters insurance vertical revenue of $16.3 million, an increase of 15%.
• Variable Marketing Dollars grew to $50.1 million, compared to $43.9 million, an increase of 14%.
• GAAP net income increased 63% to $18.9 million, compared to a GAAP net income of $11.6 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 33% to $25.1 million, compared to $18.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 14.4%.
• Repurchased $21.0 million or 900,000 shares of Class A common stock, from Link Ventures and affiliated entities controlled by our Chairman and Co-Founder, David Blundin.
• Ended the quarter with $145.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
  
  

Fourth Quarter 2025 Outlook:

• Revenue of $174.0 - $180.0 million, representing 20% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
• Variable Marketing Dollars of $46.0 - $48.0 million, representing 7% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $21.0 - $23.0 million, representing 16% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
  
  

With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Fourth Quarter 2025 Outlook” above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income (loss) in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, legal settlement expense, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss). In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Please see “EverQuote, Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” below for more information.

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding EverQuote’s financial results, the Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; legal settlement expense; interest income; and income taxes. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). The Company monitors and presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing EverQuote’s business. In particular, the Company believes that excluding the impact of these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of EverQuote’s core operating performance.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate EverQuote’s operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in EverQuote’s business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that the Company excludes in the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company believes that this financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating EverQuote’s operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce the usefulness of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
