Q3 2025 earnings summary29 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Achieved record Q3 2025 results with 18% revenue growth and 30% transaction value growth year-over-year, driven by strong performance in the Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance vertical and increased carrier marketing spend.

  • Net income for Q3 2025 was $17.6M, up from $11.9M in Q3 2024, with Adjusted EBITDA rising to $29.1M, reflecting higher gross profit and lower interest expense.

  • Health insurance vertical, especially under-65, saw significant declines due to regulatory and market headwinds, but Medicare Advantage partnerships remain a strategic focus.

  • AI adoption and digital distribution trends are expected to reshape insurance purchasing, with the platform well-positioned to adapt.

  • Authorized a new $50M share repurchase program and repurchased 3.2M shares for $32.9M during the quarter.

Financial highlights

  • Q3 2025 revenue reached $306.5M, up 18% year-over-year; transaction value was $589.3M, up 30%, with P&C accounting for 93%.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $29.1M, up 10.7% year-over-year; core business (excluding under-65 health) saw 38% transaction value and 31% adjusted EBITDA growth.

  • Gross margin for Q3 2025 was 14.2%, down from 15.1% in Q3 2024, due to a higher mix of Private Marketplace transactions and lower health vertical margins.

  • Q3 free cash flow was $23.6M; ended quarter with $38.8M in cash and equivalents.

  • LTM Q3 2025 Transaction Value reached $2.0B, with $120M Transaction Value per employee.

Outlook and guidance

  • Q4 2025 transaction value expected between $620M and $645M, up 27% year-over-year at midpoint; P&C transaction value projected to grow ~45% year-over-year, while health vertical expected to decline ~45%.

  • Q4 revenue guidance: $280–$300M (4% year-over-year decrease at midpoint); Adjusted EBITDA: $27.5–$29.5M (22% year-over-year decrease at midpoint), mainly due to under-65 health decline.

  • Under-65 health expected to contribute mid single-digit millions in 2025; most full-year revenue already realized.

  • Positive evidence may soon support the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, potentially benefiting future net income.

  • Plans to extend market leadership, expand value-added services, and grow business with agents.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
