Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA: $35.2 million, representing a 19% margin"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Contribution Profit financial
"Contribution Profit: $62.3 million, a 33% contribution profit margin"
Contribution profit is the money left from sales after subtracting costs that change with production or sales (for example materials or direct labor); it shows how much each sale contributes to covering fixed expenses and creating overall profit. Investors look at contribution profit to judge product-level profitability, pricing strength and how quickly a business can reach break-even—like seeing how much of each paycheck is available to pay rent and build savings.
Non-GAAP net income financial
"Non-GAAP Net Income: $35.0 million, representing an 18% margin"
Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.
share repurchase program financial
"authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.
redeemable convertible preferred stock financial
"conversion of Series D and D-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock"
A redeemable convertible preferred stock is a special class of company shares that combines three features: it pays priority dividends like a safer, higher-ranking share; it can be converted into regular common shares so holders can join in upside; and it can be redeemed, meaning the company can buy it back for cash. For investors this matters because it offers a mix of downside protection and potential upside, but can change ownership stakes (dilution) and cash obligations depending on whether it’s converted or redeemed.
Revenue $189.6 million 113% year-over-year growth
GAAP Net Income $19.5 million Profitability with a 10% net margin in Q2 2026
Adjusted EBITDA $35.2 million 19% Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q2 2026
Non-GAAP Net Income $35.0 million 18% non-GAAP net income margin in Q2 2026
Q3 2026 Revenue Guidance $160–$164 million Midpoint implies 73% year-over-year growth
Full-Year 2026 Revenue Guidance $727–$731 million Midpoint implies 88% year-over-year growth
Full-Year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance $119–$123 million Positive Adjusted EBITDA expected for full fiscal year 2026

Ethos’ financial outlook for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2026 are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially as a result of many factors. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor below for information on the factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is not available without unreasonable efforts due to high variability and complexity and low visibility with respect to certain charges excluded from this non-GAAP measure, including interest expense, interest income, and income tax expenses. Ethos expects the variability of these items could have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Conference Call Information

Ethos will host a conference call for analysts and investors to discuss its earnings results for the second quarter 2026 and outlook for its third fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2026 today at 1:30 p.m. Pacific time (4:30 p.m. Eastern time). A live webcast and accompanying presentation can be accessed through the events section of the Ethos investor relations website at investors.ethos.com. A recorded webcast of the event will also be available on the Ethos Investor Relations website.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Ethos has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). We believe that non-GAAP financial measures, among others, provide important supplemental information to management and investors, help evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our performance, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For further information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the financial tables below.

Adjusted EBITDA - Ethos defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense and related taxes as set forth in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA for a period by revenue for the same period. Ethos uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to assess


 

performance, to inform the preparation of its annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, and to assist its board of directors in monitoring its business and financial performance. Ethos believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors about its business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, including by providing consistency and comparability with its past financial performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to measures used by its management in investors’ financial and operational decision making. In addition, Ethos believes Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other parties in evaluating companies in its industry as a measure of operational performance.

Contribution Profit - Ethos defines Contribution Profit as gross profit less sales and marketing expense, which includes agent payments and underwriting costs for non-activated policies, plus stock-based compensation and related taxes related to its employees and overhead costs allocated to sales and marketing expenses. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue primarily consists of underwriting costs associated with activated policies. Overhead costs allocated to sales and marketing expenses include professional fees, technology expenses, and other related expenses. Contribution Margin is calculated by dividing Contribution Profit for a period by revenue for the same period.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share, Basic and Diluted - Ethos defines non-GAAP net income as net income/(loss), adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and related taxes, to provide investors and management with greater visibility into the underlying performance of its recurring core business operations. Ethos defines non-GAAP net income per share, basic, as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding. Ethos defines non-GAAP net income per share, diluted, as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of potentially diluted common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, if any.
