Insights

Hippo's Q2 2024 results show significant progress in their financial turnaround. Revenue surged 88% YoY to $90 million, while the net loss decreased by 62% to $41 million. The company's focus on reducing volatility in their homeowners program has paid off, with a substantial 94% improvement in the HHIP gross loss ratio.

The shift towards Services and Insurance-as-a-Service (IaaS) is a positive trend, now representing 83% of Total Generated Premium (TGP). This diversification could lead to more stable revenue streams. The 72% reduction in Adjusted EBITDA loss to $25 million indicates improved operational efficiency, bringing Hippo closer to its Q4 profitability goal.

However, investors should note that despite improvements, Hippo is still operating at a loss. The path to sustained profitability and positive cash flow will be important to watch in upcoming quarters.

Hippo's strategic pivot to reduce catastrophic losses is showing promising results. The 96% year-over-year improvement in Q2 gross PCS (Property Claim Services) loss ratio is particularly noteworthy, indicating better risk management in the face of severe weather events. This is important for long-term sustainability in the volatile home insurance market.

The company's focus on technology-driven efficiencies is paying dividends, with significant improvements in agent productivity (+60% YoY), conversion rates (+17% YoY) and cross-selling (+23% YoY). These metrics suggest Hippo is enhancing its competitive edge in customer acquisition and retention.

The increase in Spinnaker surplus to $202 million from $173 million a year ago strengthens Hippo's financial position, potentially allowing for greater risk retention and improved underwriting flexibility in the future.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hippo (NYSE: HIPO), the home insurance group focused on proactive home protection, today announced its consolidated financial results for the three months that ended June 30, 2024.

Complete financial results and full year guidance for 2024 can be found in the company's shareholder letter in the Investor Relations section of Hippo's website at https://investors.hippo.com/.

"Our plan to reduce the volatility in our homeowners program passed its first meaningful test, as we delivered a substantial year-over-year reduction in catastrophic losses despite another quarter of elevated severe weather," said Hippo President and CEO Rick McCathron. "We used proprietary technology to drive efficiencies into our operations, which resulted in higher customer lifetime value and lower customer acquisition costs, and we improved access to insurance for customers buying new homes. We are well-positioned for continued growth and on track to achieve our long-stated goal of positive Adjusted EBITDA in Q4."

Information about Key Operating Metrics/Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define gross loss ratio expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of the gross losses and loss adjustment expenses, to the gross earned premium. We define TGP as the aggregate written premium placed across all of our business platforms for the period presented. We measure TGP as it reflects the volume of our business irrespective of choices related to how we structure our reinsurance treaties, the amount of risk we retain on our own balance sheet, or the amount of business written in our capacity as an MGA, agency, or as an insurance carrier/reinsurer. We define adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as net loss attributable to Hippo excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, net investment income, restructuring charges, impairment expense, other non-cash fair market value adjustments, contingent consideration for one of our acquisitions, and other transactions, which may include certain legal fees and settlement costs, that we consider to be unique in nature. We exclude these items from Adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider them to be directly attributable to our underlying operating performance. This Non-GAAP financial measure is in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of this Non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP counterpart is included in the shareholder letter referenced above. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Hippo.
