Insights

Strong top-line growth, rising adjusted EBITDA, and sizable buybacks offset margin pressure and flat GAAP earnings.

Goosehead delivered clear volume-driven progress with Total Revenues up 16% to $90.4 million, Total Written Premiums up 15% to $1.2 billion, and Core Revenues up 14% to $83.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA grew to $29.7 million from $26.1 million, showing underlying operating leverage despite a lower adjusted EBITDA margin of 33%. The company repurchased $58.7 million of shares in the quarter, signaling capital return while management invests in people and technology.

Risks stem from narrowing profitability trends and rising operating costs: total operating expenses rose to $69.2 million and adjusted EPS declined 8%, while GAAP net income remained essentially flat at $12.7 million. Liquidity appears adequate with cash of $51.6 million, an unused $75.0 million credit line, and a $299.3 million term note balance; share repurchase capacity of $40.8 million remains. Watch full-year guidance versus actuals for 2025—in particular total written premiums guided to $4.38 billion-$4.65 billion and total revenues to $350 million-$385 million—over the next two fiscal quarters for confirmation of sustained margin recovery and productivity gains.

 Total Revenue Increased 16% and Core Revenue* Grew 14% over the Prior-Year Period  –
 Total Written Premium increased 15% to $1.2 billion over the Prior-Year Period 
–  Net Income of $12.7 million versus Net Income of $12.6 million a year ago  –
 Adjusted EBITDA* of $29.7 million versus $26.1 million in the Prior-Year Period  –
–  Repurchased $58.7 million of shares for the Third Quarter at an Average Price of $85.58  –

"In the third quarter we produced premium growth of 15%, total revenue growth of 16%, core revenue growth of 14%, net income growth of 1% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 14% with net income margin of 14% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 33%.

*Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of Core Revenue to total revenues, Adjusted EPS to basic earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

Third Quarter 2025 Results
For the third quarter of 2025, revenues were $90.4 million, an increase of 16% compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other franchise revenues, were $83.9 million, a 14% increase from $73.5 million in the prior-year period. Core Revenues are 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 Revenue growth was driven by increased producer count, improved franchise productivity, client retention of 85%, and moderating premium rate increases. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 15% in the third quarter.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $69.2 million, up from $61.6 million in the prior-year period. Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses* for the third quarter of 2025 were $60.7 million, up 17% from $51.9 million in the prior-year period. Employee compensation and benefits increased to $48.7 million from $43.2 million in the prior-year period. Employee compensation and benefits, excluding equity-based compensation* increased to $43.1 million from $36.1 million in the prior-year period. The increases were primarily due to investments in corporate producers and our service and technology functions. Equity-based compensation decreased to $5.6 million for the period, compared to $7.1 million in the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses increased to $17.1 million from $15.2 million in the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses, excluding impairment*, increased to $17.1 million from $15.2 million in the prior-year period. The increases were primarily due to investments in technology and systems to drive growth and continue to improve the client experience. Bad debt expense of $0.5 million decreased from $0.6 million in the prior-year period.

Net income in the third quarter of 2025 was $12.7 million versus net income of $12.6 million in the prior-year period. Earnings per share and Net Income Margin for the third quarter of 2025 were $0.31 and 14%, respectively. Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2025, which excludes equity-based compensation and impairment expense, was $0.46 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $29.7 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $26.1 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 33% decreased compared to the prior-year period.

*Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses; Employee compensation and benefits, excluding equity-based compensation; and General and administrative expenses, excluding impairment are non-GAAP measures. For the definition and reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP

This release includes certain financial performance measures that are not required by, nor 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 these non-GAAP financial measures 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 Franchise Revenues. We believe that Ancillary Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are ancillary to our core business.
  • "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, impairment expense, 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. 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 and our investors because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance and helps measure our profitability on a consolidated level.
  • “Total operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses” is defined as total operating expenses (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment expenses. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash charges.
  • “Employee compensation and benefits, excluding equity-based compensation” is defined as Employee compensation and benefits (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before equity-based compensation. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash compensation charges.
  • “General and administrative expenses, excluding impairment” is defined as general and administrative expenses (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before impairment expense. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash charges.

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.

The following tables show a reconciliation from total revenues to Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue (non-GAAP basis) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
