Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA loss was ($17.1) million, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of ($47.0) million in the first quarter 2025"
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.
Annual Dollar Retention financial
"Annual Dollar Retention ADR, defined as the percentage of IFP retained over a twelve month period, was 85%, a 1 percentage point increase"
Gross loss ratio financial
"Gross loss ratio 62 % 78 %"
The gross loss ratio is the percentage of an insurer’s premium revenue that is paid out as claims before accounting for reinsurance or other recoveries. It shows, in simple percentage terms, how much of the money customers pay is going straight to cover losses; like measuring how much of a store’s sales are eaten by product returns. Investors use it to judge underwriting health and whether an insurer’s core business is profitable or exposed to rising claim costs.
Adjusted free cash flow financial
"Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter was $17.4 million, as compared to ($31.0) million in the first quarter of 2025"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.

Dear Shareholders, Our first quarter results were excellent, once again characterized by topline growth acceleration, healthy underwriting performance, and strong operating leverage. We steadily progress towards our first Adj. EBITDA positive quarter, which we continue to expect in Q4 2026. Here’s a look at the key metrics for Q1: • Top Line: At $1.33 billion, In Force Premium grew 32% – extending our streak of IFP growth rate acceleration to ten consecutive quarters. Revenue grew faster still, by 71% to $258 million, reflecting the impact of our recent reinsurance transition and higher premium retention. • Gross Profit: Increased 159% YoY to $100 million. • Bottom Line: Adj. EBITDA loss of ($17) million was 64% improved YoY, while Net Loss in the quarter was ($36) million, 43% improved. • Cash Flow: Adj. Free Cash Flow of $17 million was $48 million improved YoY; Cash Flow from Ops was roughly breakeven, $47 million improved. There has been notable interest recently from our investors on our AI capabilities – specifically how they compare to peers in a rapidly evolving broader Al landscape. Daniel recently shared some thoughts on this topic in our blog, linked here. 2
Grow the Business & Scale the Operation Alongside sustained topline growth rate acceleration, we’ve materially scaled the operation since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 by deeply embedding LLMs within our proprietary technology stack. We ended Q1 with just over $1 million of IFP per employee, having more than doubled IFP while reducing team size by 6% since Q4 22. AI-powered automation at scale is expanding team capacity and enabling us to support accelerating growth and simultaneously deliver improved customer support quality without adding headcount. At ~$1m IFP per employee, we believe we are already roughly at parity with incumbents such as Progressive, Allstate, GEICO, and Travelers, while being a fraction of their size. We see a path to sustained improvement: we believe we can lead the industry in IFP per employee efficiency as our business continues to scale. Marketing Efficiency 3 LTV / CAC Ratio vs Growth Spend Conventional wisdom says that as you increase growth spend, efficiency declines. We’re seeing something notable, and have for some time. Since Q1 23, we’ve increased growth spend by ~200% while maintaining LTV/CAC ratios at or above 3x, a trend we hope to continue. This is enabled by our differentiated AI-powered growth engine and proprietary LTV model, which drive real-time optimization of targeting and capital allocation. It is further supported by an increasingly diverse channel mix and higher LTV from bundling. Q4 22 Q1 26 $17m $54m LTV / CAC Growth Spend Q1 23 Q1 26 3x3x 1,367 1,291 $625m $1,333m IFP vs Employee Count IFP Employee Count
Pet Crosses $500m IFP Pet, now our largest line of business, surpassed $500m IFP early in the second quarter, becoming the first product in our portfolio to reach this milestone. Less than six years from launch, we have scaled to become the #1 most searched pet insurance brand in the U.S. and the 4th largest carrier by written premium. Our rapid ascent reflects a set of structural advantages: • Structural cost advantage through automation: Our AI-powered automation drives LAE ratios of ~4%, providing a structural cost advantage vs peers. This creates margin headroom and increases our flexibility to price competitively while maintaining attractive unit economics. • Proprietary AI-powered pricing engine: Compared to peers, we believe that our model delivers greater segmentation granularity, allowing us to more precisely match rate to risk. • Delightful product: AI-powered automation across most support and claims interactions delivers fast, seamless customer experiences at scale, supporting strong acquisition efficiency and lifetime value. • Balanced distribution: We’ve built a diversified model beyond the traditional vet channel, combining direct-to-consumer and partnerships channels to expand reach. This is complemented by CAC-free cross-sales to existing customers, which currently account for ~$85 million of Pet IFP. As illustrated in the chart below, our loss ratios are comparable with peers, during periods in which we took notably less rate. The result is a business that is growing more than 3x faster than the industry. 4 12% 27% LMND Industry Avg. 66% 68% LMND Industry Avg. 55% 17% LMND Industry Avg.

Car Update Lemonade Car continues to demonstrate strong momentum, with IFP growing 60% YoY, our fastest growth rate to date, and a significant acceleration as compared to 9% IFP growth a year ago, while delivering healthy underwriting performance with a 74% gross loss ratio. We're seeing broad based strength in our Car growth engine across channels and geographies. Some of our more recently launched states are performing well; notably, Colorado, launched in 2025, has quickly become our fourth largest state by Car IFP share. Car new business is growing rapidly across both direct-to- consumer and cross-sale channels, each increasing >100% YoY, reflecting both strong demand and continued expansion within our existing customer base. From an underwriting perspective, we’re continuing to see encouraging trends across both new and renewal loss ratios over several quarters, even as growth has accelerated. Taken together, these trends reinforce our confidence in both the scalability and underlying economics of the Car business. While still early, we are encouraged by initial performance from our autonomous Car product. New customer conversion rates are ~70% higher than our comparable non-autonomous product, reflecting the compelling pricing we are able to offer customers. We expect to expand our autonomous Car product into multiple additional states this year. 5 3% 7% 9% 22% 39% 53% 60% Q3 24 Q4 24 Q1 25 Q2 25 Q3 25 Q4 25 Q1 26 Car IFP YoY Growth Rate
Investor Day 2026 We are pleased to announce that our upcoming investor day will take place in New York City on November 17th at 9:00am. More details to follow closer to the event, and we hope to see many of you there! Guidance Below is our view of how we expect the second quarter and full year 2026 to shape up. Our guidance reflects improved FY 26 ranges for IFP, GEP, Revenue, & Adj. EBITDA as compared to prior guidance, and indicates FY 26 IFP growth of 33%. We continue to reiterate our expectation that we’ll deliver positive Adj. EBITDA in the fourth quarter. Q2 2026 Full Year 2026 All in millions Low - High Low - High In force premium (IFP) $1,428 - $1,433 $1,632 - $1,639 Gross earned premium (GEP) $328 - $331 $1,369 - $1,373 Revenue $287 - $290 $1,197 - $1,203 Adjusted EBITDA loss1 ($23) - ($19) ($51) - ($47) Stock-based compensation expense $24 $95 Weighted avg. common shares 77 78 6 1 A full reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net loss on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as we are unable to provide reconciling information with respect to income tax expense, interest income, net investment income, interest expense and other transactions that we consider to be unique in nature, all of which are adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the first quarter March 31, 2026 in the reconciliation tables at the end of this letter.
Q1 2026 Results, KPIs and Non-GAAP Financial Measures In Force Premium IFP, defined as the aggregate annualized premium for customers as of the period end date, increased by 32% to $1.33 billion as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Customers Customer count increased by 23% to 3,142,581 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Premium per Customer Premium per customer, defined as in force premium divided by customers, was $424 at the end of the first quarter, up 7% from the first quarter of 2025. Annual Dollar Retention ADR, defined as the percentage of IFP retained over a twelve month period, inclusive of changes in policy value, changes in number of policies, changes in policy type, and churn, was 85%, a 1 percentage point increase from the first quarter of 2025, and flat from the fourth quarter of 2025. Gross Earned Premium First quarter gross earned premium of $306.2 million increased by $72.6 million or 31% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the increase of IFP earned during the quarter. 7
Revenue First quarter revenue of $258.0 million increased by $106.8 million or 71% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by growth in gross earned premium and higher premium retention rate due to reduced quota share cession rates which became effective in third quarter of 2025. Gross Profit First quarter gross profit of $100.1 million increased by $61.5 million or 159% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the 71% increase in revenue and a 19 percentage points improvement in net loss ratio, due to improved underwriting results and the impact of the California Wildfires in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted Gross Profit First quarter adjusted gross profit of $100.8 million increased by $54.8 million or 119% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the 71% increase in revenue and 19 percentage points improvement in net loss ratio, due to improved underwriting results and impact of the California Wildfires in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP measure. Operating Expense Total operating expense, excluding net loss and loss adjustment expense, of $159.3 million increased by $32.1 million or 25% as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher growth spend for customer acquisition. Growth spend, included in sales and marketing expense, was $54.3 million in the quarter, as compared to $38.1 million in the first quarter 2025. Net Loss Net loss in the first quarter was ($35.8) million, or ($0.47) per share, as compared to ($62.4) million, or ($0.86) per share, in the first quarter of 2025. 8
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA loss was ($17.1) million, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of ($47.0) million in the first quarter 2025. This year over year improvement is primarily attributable to revenue growth, and improved underwriting results, partially offset by the increase in growth spend. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Cash & Investments The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled approximately $1.14 billion at March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we were required to hold approximately $290 million of regulatory surplus at our insurance subsidiaries. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter was $17.4 million, as compared to ($31.0) million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures included in this letter and the reasons for their use, are presented at the end of this letter. 9

Non-GAAP financial measures and key operating metrics The non-GAAP financial measures used in this shareholder letter are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit, Ratio of Adjusted gross profit to Gross earned premium, Free cash flow, and Adjusted free cash flow. We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net loss excluding income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense, interest income and others, net investment income, amortization of fair value adjustment on insurance contract intangible liability relating to the Metromile Acquisition, and other one time and non-cash adjustments and other transactions that we would 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. We use Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. We define Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP financial measure, as gross profit excluding net investment income, interest income and other income, plus fixed costs and overhead associated with our underwriting operations including employee-related expense, professional fees and other, and depreciation and amortization allocated to cost of revenue, and other adjustments that we would consider to be unique in nature. After these adjustments, the resulting calculation is inclusive of only those variable costs of revenue incurred on the successful acquisition of business and without the volatility of investment income. We use adjusted gross profit as a key measure of our progress towards profitability and to consistently evaluate the variable contribution to our business from underwriting operations from period to period. We define the Ratio of Adjusted gross profit to Gross earned premium as the ratio of adjusted gross profit divided by gross earned premium. The Ratio of Adjusted gross profit to Gross earned premium measures the relationship between the 11
underlying business volume and gross economic benefit generated by our underwriting operations, on the one hand, and our underlying profitability trends, on the other. We rely on this measure, which supplements our gross profit ratio as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, because it provides management with insight into our underlying profitability trends over time. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this shareholder letter have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, Adjusted gross profit, and Adjusted gross profit margin, Ratio of Adjusted gross profit to Gross earned premium, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Therefore, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing our business and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and financial performance; (ii) facilitate internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; (iii) facilitate external comparisons of the results of our overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (iv) review and assess the operating performance of our management team; (v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this shareholder letter. 12
This shareholder letter also includes key performance indicators, including customers, In Force Premium, Premium Per Customer, Annual Dollar Retention, Gross Earned Premium, Gross Loss Ratio, Net Loss Ratio and Gross Loss Ratio ex- CAT. We define Customers as the number of current policyholders underwritten by us or placed by us with third-party insurance partners (who pay us recurring commissions) as of the period end date. A customer that has more than one policy counts as a single customer for the purposes of this metric. We view customers as an important metric to assess our financial performance because customer growth drives our revenue, expands brand awareness, deepens our market penetration, creates additional upsell and cross-sell opportunities and generates additional data to continue to improve the functioning of our platform. We define In force premium ("IFP") as the aggregate annualized premium for customers as of the period end date. At each period end date, we calculate IFP as the sum of: (i) In force written premium — the annualized premium of in force policies underwritten by us; and (ii) In force placed premium — the annualized premium of in force policies placed with third party insurance companies for which we earn a recurring commission payment. In force placed premium currently reflects approximately 4% of IFP. The annualized value of premiums is a legal and contractual determination made by assessing the contractual terms with our customers. The annualized value of contracts is not determined by reference to historical revenues, deferred revenues or any other GAAP financial measure over any period. IFP is not a forecast of future revenues nor is it a reliable indicator of revenue expected to be earned in any given period. We believe that our calculation of IFP is useful to analysts and investors because it captures the impact of growth in customers and premium per customer at the end of each reported period, without adjusting for known or projected policy updates, cancellations, rescissions and non-renewals. We use IFP because we believe it gives our management useful insight into the total reach of our platform by showing all in force policies underwritten and placed by us. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate IFP differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of IFP as a tool for comparison. 13
We define Premium per customer as the average annualized premium customers pay for products underwritten by us or placed by us with third-party insurance partners. We calculate premium per customer by dividing IFP by customers. We view premium per customer as an important metric to assess our financial performance because premium per customer reflects the average amount of money our customers spend on our products, which helps drive strategic initiatives. We define Annual dollar retention ("ADR"), as the percentage of IFP retained over a twelve month period, inclusive of changes in policy value, changes in number of policies, changes in policy type, and churn. To calculate ADR we first aggregate the IFP from all active customers at the beginning of the period and then aggregate the IFP from those same customers at the end of the period. ADR is then equal to the ratio of ending IFP to beginning IFP. We believe that our calculation of ADR is useful to analysts and investors because it captures our ability to retain customers and sell additional products and coverage to them over time. We view ADR as an important metric to measure our ability to provide a delightful end-to-end customer experience, satisfy our customers’ evolving insurance needs and maintain our customers’ trust in our products. Our customers become more valuable to us every year they continue to subscribe to our products. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate ADR differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of ADR as a tool for comparison. Gross earned premium ("GEP") is the earned portion of our gross written premium. Gross earned premium includes direct and assumed premium. We use this operating metric as we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into the gross economic benefit generated by our business operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to changes in our underlying reinsurance structure. Unlike net earned premium, gross earned premium excludes the impact of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and therefore should not be used as a substitute for net earned premium, total revenue, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP.

HOMEOWNERS MULTI-PERIL We define homeowners multi-peril as all coverages offered under home, condo, and renters policies. IFP We define in force premium ("IFP"), as the aggregate annualized premium for customers as of the period end date. At each period end date, we calculate IFP as the sum of: 1. In force written premium - the annualized premium of in force policies underwritten by us. 2. In force placed premium - the annualized premium of in force policies placed with third party insurance companies for which we earn a recurring commission payment. PREMIUM PER CUSTOMER We define premium per customer as the average annualized premium customers pay for products underwritten by us, or placed by us with third-party insurance partners. We calculate premium per customer by dividing IFP by the number of customers. Insurance Supplement 34
