TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Hagerty, Inc. (NYSE: HGTY), an automotive lifestyle brand and a leading specialty insurance provider focused on the global automotive enthusiast market, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

“We delivered strong revenue growth of 23% during the second quarter and 26% during the first six months of the year, in line with our revenue outlook for full year 2022 despite a weakening macroeconomic environment,” said McKeel Hagerty, Chief Executive Officer of Hagerty. “Our global growth has been powered by consistent double digit gains in written premium, a strong and growing base of members, and higher revenue per member. We continue to deliver excellent customer service for Hagerty members and partners, driving industry leading net promoter scores of 82 and high retention rates.”

Mr. Hagerty continued, “Our team continues to work diligently on getting the State Farm partnership up and running. We have moved into systems testing and the regulatory approval process, and expect to begin activating State Farm’s 19,200 agents to sell classic car policies during the first half of 2023. Our teams are focused on delivering a seamless experience, and we believe that this customer-centric approach is what will help sustain our high rates of organic growth over the coming years.”

“We are also investing methodically in value-added and best-in-class services for our members, which we believe will continue to attract and retain car lovers,” added Mr. Hagerty. “This includes today’s announcement that we are acquiring the remaining 60% of Broad Arrow Group. We expect the transaction to be immediately accretive as our platform for buying and selling collector cars is ramping quickly, leveraging the strength of the Hagerty brand and ecosystem to capitalize on this large and growing opportunity.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Second quarter Total Revenue increased 23% to $206.0 million compared to $167.4 million in the prior year period, and year-to-date Total Revenue increased 26% to $373.8 million compared to $296.6 million in the prior year period.
    • This strong growth is attributable to an increase in earned premium, primarily related to underlying growth as well as a 10% increase in contractual quota share.
    • Hagerty Driver’s Club (HDC) paid members as of June 30, 2022 increased 8% to approximately 743,000 compared to 690,000 as of June 30, 2021.
    • Second quarter Revenue per paid member increased 16% to $158 compared to $136 in the prior year period, and year-to-date Revenue per paid member increased 18% to $292 compared to $247 in the prior year period.

    • Excluding the impact from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, the decline in net income was primarily driven by certain pre-revenue costs related to scaling our infrastructure, newly-developed digital platforms and legacy systems, human resources and occupancy to accommodate our alliance with State Farm and other potential distribution partnerships as well as to further develop our Hagerty Marketplace transactional platform.
  • Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA decreased 17% to $16.1 million compared to $19.3 million in the prior year period, and year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA decreased 50% to $10.1 million compared to $20.3 million in the prior year period.

This gain will be excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and is not reflected in Projected 2022 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook of $15 million to $20 million.

(2)

Difference between Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA due primarily to a $26 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulting from a decrease in the fair value of warrant liabilities. This gain was recognized as non-operating income and is included in Net Income (Loss) but excluded when calculating Adjusted EBITDA.

(3)

 Growth based metric not comparable due to lack of Q2 2021 metric.

DRIVING FUTURE GROWTH

The Company has excellent business momentum in 2022, with first half revenue growth of 26%, and is excited about and focused on our ongoing efforts to position the Company for strong and sustainable long-term organic growth and profitability over the coming years. We are confident that the opportunities we have identified to monetize our significant addressable market will expand our share and position us to grow. We plan to invest further in our capabilities in 2022 to capitalize on these opportunities to drive future growth.

Hagerty Marketplace. Earlier this year, we launched Hagerty Marketplace, completed our 40% joint venture with Broad Arrow Group, and announced the development of a proprietary digital platform to support our Marketplace activities. In August, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 60% stake and expect the business to be immediately accretive as a highly complementary addition to the Hagerty ecosystem. We believe auto enthusiasts will find our new services extremely valuable, including new trust-based platforms for buying, selling and financing collector vehicles.

MGA Insurance. We expect to continue to launch strategic partnerships with major carriers longer-term. We also plan to deepen our penetration into services and data analytics in order to support our existing partnership customer base.

Reinsurance. We continue to benefit from our contractual quota share arrangements with the U.S. and U.K. 2022 share increasing to 70%. We also will look to continue to methodically grow our international share of underwriting profit over the coming years.

Media & Entertainment. This is how we build our brand and drive network effects that fuel our businesses. We will continue to push forward with our strategy to expand our digital audience, as products and service transactions are moved online. We are also focusing on owned and operated events including Concours and Touring events. Additionally, RADwood and Concours d’Lemons have joined our events calendar in 2022 as we evolve to produce more casual and fun gatherings. These events provide us with a terrific opportunity to reach growing and new auto segments.

Membership. We look forward to increasing our paid member penetration through an enhanced value proposition for our customers. We also expect to increase conversion of our legacy insurance book to HDC and to integrate our multiple digital platforms.

State Farm Update. Our digital and technology team is nearing completion of the development work and have moved into the testing phase of the project. There are currently over 460,000 eligible policies, and based on recent adoption rates, we are anticipating up to 75% HDC adoption on new insurance policies over time and an average annual revenue per customer of $85$110. We expect to begin activating State Farm’s 19,200 agents to sell classic car policies during the first half of 2023 on a state by state basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Contribution Margin

We define Contribution Margin as total revenue less operating expense adding back our fixed operating expenses such as depreciation and amortization, general and administrative costs and shared service salaries and benefits expenses. We define Contribution Margin Ratio as Contribution Margin divided by total revenue.

We present Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

We caution investors that Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio are not recognized measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and that Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio, as we define them, may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. In addition, both Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude certain significant recurring expenses of our business.

Our management uses Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio to:

  • analyze the relationship between cost, volume and profit as revenue grows;

  • measure how much profit is earned for any product or service sold; and

  • measure how different management actions could affect the Company’s total revenue and related cost levels.

The following table reconciles Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are Operating income (loss) and Operating income (loss) margin (Operating income (loss) divided by Total revenue), respectively:

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted to exclude changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, gains and losses from asset disposals and certain other non-recurring gains and losses. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

  • as a measurement of operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
  • for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections;
  • to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies;
  • to evaluate our capacity to expand our business;
  • as a performance factor in measuring performance under our executive compensation plan; and
  • as a preferred predictor of core operating performance, comparisons to prior periods and competitive positioning.

By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance. Some of these limitations include:

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
  • other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Net income (loss):

Other non-recurring (gains) losses relates to severance expense recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

We incurred $8.8 million and $8.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $18.1 million and $15.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for certain pre-revenue costs related to scaling our infrastructure, newly-developed digital platforms and legacy systems, human resources and occupancy to accommodate our alliance with State Farm and other potential distribution partnerships as well as to further develop our Hagerty Marketplace transactional platform. These costs were not included in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation above.

Pursuant to a defined set of activities and objectives, these expenses are adding entirely new capabilities for us, integrating our new and legacy policyholder, membership and Hagerty Marketplace systems with State Farm’s legacy policy and agent management systems and other third-party platforms. In addition to onboarding a third-party project management related to these initiatives, we leased a new member service center in Dublin, Ohio and added several hundred new employees as of June 30, 2022 to meet the expected transactional volume from these initiatives.

These costs commenced in 2020 and are expected to be substantially completed in 2023.

Adjusted EPS

We define Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) as consolidated Net income (loss) that is attributable to both our controlling and non-controlling interest. Adjusted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes both our controlling and non-controlling interest net income (loss) of $(5.5) million and $10.3 million, respectively, divided by the outstanding and potentially dilutive shares of Hagerty, Inc. (359.8 million shares) which includes (1) the weighted-average issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, (2) all issued and outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, (3) all unexercised warrants and (4) all unvested stock-based compensation awards.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure is basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”), which is calculated as Net income (loss) attributable to only controlling interest in Hagerty, Inc. Basic EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes Net income (loss) attributable to only controlling interest of $(5.5) million and $22.0 million, respectively, divided by the weighted-average issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (82.5 million and 82.4 million shares, respectively).

In accordance with ASC 260, for periods in which we report a net loss to stockholders, diluted EPS would be the same as Basic EPS, because dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, in periods where we report a net loss attributable to controlling interest, such as for the three months ended June 30, 2022, EPS did not need to be differentiated between basic or diluted EPS because both basic and diluted EPS were the same. In periods where we report net income attributable to controlling interest, such as for the six months ended June 30, 2022, we believe that Basic EPS is the most comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EPS.

We caution investors that Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including Basic EPS, and that Adjusted EPS, as we define it, may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EPS has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as a measure of profit or loss per share.

We present Adjusted EPS because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is used by investors and securities analysts in evaluating the consolidated performance of other companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted EPS, which compares our consolidated net loss (which includes our controlling and non-controlling interest) with our outstanding and potentially dilutive shares, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance on a fully consolidated basis.

Our management uses Adjusted EPS:

  • as a measurement of operating performance of our business on a fully consolidated basis;
  • to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies;
  • to evaluate our capacity to expand our business; and
  • as a preferred predictor of core operating performance, comparisons to prior periods and competitive positioning.
