[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Thank you, Brinlea, and thank you all for joining us today. EverQuote, exceeded expectations across our three primary financial KPIs in the first quarter. We produced revenue of $109.2 million, variable marketing margin or VMM of $35.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million. We achieved a strong VMM as a percentage of revenue of 32.6% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.9%, both representing levels, which we last achieved before the auto insurance industry downturn.

Our progress in Q1 was broad-based and as the industry normalizes, we will be well-positioned to grow the business significantly and profitably. As has occurred several times in the current period of auto insurance market instability, our growing momentum in Q1 was met with strong industry headwinds.

Entering Q2, a major carrier partner significantly reduced its customer acquisition budgets due to their unexpectedly challenged underwriting results. We are also seeing targeted reductions and marketing subsidies for captive agents, which could impact our local agent demand for the remainder of this year. Based on the persistent uncertainty in the auto insurance carrier market we have decided to withdraw our previously provided full year 2023 guidance. While we maintain conviction in an auto insurance recovery driving significant growth for EverQuote, the exact timing remains difficult to predict. Focusing on what we can control we continue to drive efficiency throughout our operations, while accelerating diversification into stable parts of the business.

Highlights from Q1 includes strong performance in our local agent network where continued resilience through record levels of local agent budget. We continue to have a commanding leadership position in this market with that as suggesting EverQuote maintains the highest market share and performance in the industry.

In our Direct-to-Consumer agency, we had a strong open enrollment period with health and Medicare generating historically high levels of profitability and cash efficiency. And our Property and Casualty or P&C lines continue to make considerable progress expanding our product offerings and increasing the rate at which we bundle auto policies with homeowners and other ancillary products. Our Direct-to-Consumer agency now represents 50 carriers across our combined P&C and Health and Medicare offerings as we continue to expand our carrier product coverage, we continue to build the foundation of our One-Stop insurance shop.

With the auto insurance carriers continuing to adjust rates to the changing loss environment, we began shifting more resources into non-auto verticals late in 2022. In Q1, we returned to revenue growth in our home vertical and expect to continue that trend as carrier budgets and agents demand shifts from auto into homeowners’ products.

In Q2, we Are replicating the playbook used to reignite growth in the home vertical to our life, health, and Medicare marketplaces. We are moving aggressively to restore growth in these non-auto verticals over the balance of the year after a period of contraction following reduction in DTC Medicare agent headcount as part of our broader expense management efforts.

Progress in agent channels and non-auto verticals enable EverQuote to diversify further from the auto carrier direct channel.

In addition, we continue to drive efficiency throughout the business. We achieved a near record high VMM margin in Q1 as we rolled out new bidding technology, which leverages machine learning to optimize bids at more granular levels than ever before, enabling our traffic operations to benefit from greater ad spend efficiency.

We also produced a return to pre-downturn levels of adjusted EBITDA, well ahead of a full auto insurance recovery. Thanks to continued discipline and management of our operating expenses. We remain steadfast in our belief that we can create an industry-defining company as we continue working to redefine the 170 plus billion-dollar insurance distribution and advertising market for the digital age.

We have assembled a one-of-a-kind combination of insurance distribution assets, which provides consumers access to a comprehensive set of insurance products across major personal lines, resulting in each consumer being more likely to find the right products for them, delivered in their preferred manner. We will focus increasingly on leveraging these assets to build a differentiated insurance shopping destination for consumers through which they can access the industry's widest set of insurance products across major personalized, received personalized recommendations on the right products for them and easily access advice from knowledgeable experts as needed.

EverQuote’s long-term value continues to compound as we amass more insurance distribution data, which we are using increasingly to deploy machine learning and artificial intelligence across the aspects of our business ranging from traffic bidding to experience personalization, to product recommendations.

With our deep roots in data and technology, we believe we will leave the insurance industry and the adoption of AI technology as it proliferates. As AI applications become more accessible, EverQuote is embracing its potential quickly finding use cases where it can drive meaningfully greater productivity and/or enable entirely new products, services or ways of doing things.

Our mission is to make it easy for customers to protect life's most important assets, their families, health property and future. Our vision is to become the largest online source of insurance policies by using data, technology and knowledgeable advisors to make insurance simpler more affordable and personalized. While we have much work left to do and require a period of industry stabilization to fully realize that vision, we continue to drive operational excellence in this difficult time.

We believe that EverQuote is the only company with the assets, team and conviction to deliver the insurance shopping experience that the industry's carriers, agents and consumers, ultimately need to bring the full potential of the digital age to insurance buying and selling. Our incredible team remains passionate about achieving our vision, which we believe when realized, will deliver compelling value for our consumers, insurance provider partners, and shareholders.

Now, I'll turn it over to John to discuss our financial results.

[John Wagner, Chief Financial Officer]

Thank you, Jamie, and good afternoon, everyone. I'll start by discussing our financial results for the first quarter and then provide guidance for the second quarter and the context for our decision to withdraw guidance for the full year of 2023. Our total revenue for the first quarter of $109.2 million represented a decline of 1% year-over-year, but exceeded our guidance range for Q1 provided last quarter.

Revenue from our auto insurance vertical increased 2% year-over-year to 89.7 million in Q1, a sequential improvement of 33% over Q4 of 2022, due to a combination of Q1 being a seasonally stronger quarter within our auto insurance vertical, and the resurgence of demand within the quarter from our largest carrier customer, following the initial improvement in their claims losses.

Coupled with consistent performance from our local agent network at nearly 40% of total revenue, we achieved a record level of auto insurance revenue. Revenue from our other insurance verticals, which includes home and renters, life and health insurance decreased 15% year-over-year to $19.5 million for the first quarter and represented 18% of revenue.

The decline in revenue was attributable to our planned moderation in our Direct-to Consumer agency with an emphasis on optimizing unit economics and cash efficiency and offset by double-digit growth in our home insurance vertical. Variable marketing margin or VMM, defined as revenue, less advertising expense was $35.6 million for the first quarter bringing our guidance range provided last quarter.

Despite lower monetization, variable marketing margin as a percentage of revenue was a near-record 32.6% for the quarter. Our investments in bidding technology led to a higher margin operating point as we drove down traffic cost and increased consumer traffic volumes 21% year-over-year. Though most carriers continue to limit their spending on new consumer acquisition, as they work to raise policy pricing to cover rising claims losses, consumers are reacting to those price increases by shopping more aggressively.

Turning to our bottom-line. GAAP net loss was $2.5 million in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was positive $5.4 million in the first quarter. The result was above our guidance range for Q1 provided last quarter, and reflects a return to pre auto insurance downturn levels based on stronger auto insurance performance, demonstrating that as auto insurance industry conditions improve, our marketplace has the potential to deliver expanding profitability.

Operating cash flow was a use of cash of $1.2 million for the first quarter, a significant year-over-year and sequential improvement reflecting the cash flow contribution from greater positive adjusted EBITDA. We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet of $28.8 million and no debt outstanding on our $45 million debt facility.

Turning to our outlook including an update on market conditions within the auto insurance industry. As anticipated, we witnessed improved demand in our auto insurance vertical in Q1, driven by a very strong return of our largest carrier customer as they experienced improved financial performance, which resulted in an increased focus on growing their new consumer acquisition.

At carrier however suffered an abrupt increase in claims and a decrease in profitability in March caused by a combination of one-time factors and more persistent claims related expenses. This resulted in a significant reduction in their demand entering Q2, dropping to trough levels of Q4 2022. Outside of this, major carrier who would take a more decisive rate action earlier in the downturn, nearly all other auto insurance carriers are continuing to experience low levels of profitability and are aggressively increasing rates in order to achieve rate adequacy.

Although a third-party agent network has been resilient, the prolonged nature of this downturn has resulted in some reductions of carrier support for their captive agents and we anticipate the possibility of further reductions, which may impact our local agent business during the second half of this year.

Ultimately, we remain confident that auto insurance premium increases will improve financial performance for auto insurance carriers and consequently will increase their demand for new consumer acquisition. But the timing of this improvement continues to be delayed therefore impacting our guidance for Q2 and our decision to withdraw guidance for the full year.

For Q2, we expect revenue to be between $70 million and 75 million, a year-over-year decrease of 29% at the midpoint. We expect VMM in the quarter to be between $23 million and $26 million, a year-over-year decrease of 26% at the midpoint and we expect adjusted EBITDA to be between negative $4 million and negative $1 million.

In summary, we delivered results better than our guidance for the first quarter and are executing well, while judiciously managing expenses. Though we recognize the higher level of uncertainty in the near term, we have conviction that we will directly and significantly benefit from the eventual normalization of auto insurance carrier demand.

Jayme and I will now answer your questions.

[Operator]

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. [Operator Instructions]

Our first question will be from the line of Ralph Schackart with William Blair. Your line is now open.

[Ralph Schackart, William Blair]

Good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. Just in terms of large carrier, that I guess was a market earlier in Q1 and then out in March, any sort of thoughts on when that carrier could return and/or conversations that you carried out, it's pretty dynamic situation. And then may just a follow-up with the other carriers that I know are still low profitability? How the conversations is sort of progressing or trending with those carriers? And then I have follow-up.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Sure. Hey, Ralph. The large carrier that pulled back the - we don't, we don't have a - like a firm commitment on what this re-engagement path looks like. They have pointed us to the data that's available, right? We ought to watch continue to watch how their combined ratio trends. They have the sort of publicly, well-known and understood target that they are managing the business to.

And so, as they are able to manage down to their combined ratio target, we do expect them to reactivate spend. And as they're able to take rate in specific states, we expect it to occur state-by-state. So, the signal that they've given us is they're reviewing things month-to-month.

I think the interpretation based on looking at their numbers and speaking with them is that we probably don't expect any significant movement inside the quarter, but we are hopeful that come Q3, they will have largely gotten their combined ratio in line for the first part of the year, which would bring them back to a more normalized state for the best part of the year.

With respect to other carriers, we continue to get a consistent message that the back part of the year is when we would expect to see some re-engagement. We know there are carriers that are benefiting from burning in on previous rate increases. And it now seems that everyone's adjusting their 2023 rate increase plans upwards and they are seeing good receptivity from states, even states like California. One large carrier announced they got a 19-point rate increase from California, which has a significant step in the right direction.

So, we are beginning to see some of these other carriers get their combined ratios more in line or at least trending in the right direction or with line of sight to get to get their combined ratios in line by, call it middle of the year. And we would expect that they'll slowly start to step back in at a state-by-state segment-by-segment as they do.

[Ralph Schackart, William Blair]

Great. Thanks. And just a quick follow-up. On the local agents, have you seen that that business be impacted, I guess in Q1 or Q2? Or is that just something that you're bracing for potentially to happen in the second half of this year? Thank you.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Yeah. So, the carriers have been removing subsidy dollars - they provide some marketing subsidy dollars to agents. They have been removing them state-by-state, segment-by-segment over the course of this year. And we have seen some impact, but we've been able to grow through it. So we did exit Q1 with record levels of agent budgets.

They likely would have been higher without the withdrawal of some of those support dollars. But we continue to make good progress. Now, what we expect for the balance of the year is that carriers – these same carriers will continue to remove additional subsidy dollars in states where they are not profitable. And that those subsidy dollars will return to the marketplace as the carriers are able to get rates. So we do expect it will be hard to continue growing budget for the balance of the year.

But we maintain a really good position in that market. We have a dominant market share. We provide the highest performance of any of the competitors that are sending volume into that channel. And so, we feel good about continuing to build that channel over the longer term.

[Ralph Schackart, William Blair]

Okay. Great. Thanks, Jayme. Appreciated.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Thanks Ralph.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question will be from the line of Cory Carpenter with JP Morgan. Your line is now open.

[Cory Carpenter, JPMorgan]

Hey, thanks for the question. Just on the health business, could you just talk about any impacts from some of the proposed policy changes we’re seeing in Medicare Advantage? Whether those could impact the negative side or potentially, even the positive side if it if it hurts competitors more? And then, you did guide to back to negative EBITDA in 2Q. So just curious on the cost side, it sounded like your focus is on reallocating resources.

But just how you feel about your expense base kind of maintaining it where it is or maybe if you feel like you need to make further cuts go forward? Thank you.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Sure. Thanks, Cory. So with respect to the changes in Med Advantage regulation, just to put into context Med Advantage represents, call it about 5% of the business plus or minus a few points. I think what you're describing is the new CMS marketing rules. And we've been preparing for those new rules to take effect since they were initially proposed in – I guess it was in December of last year.

Now since they've been finalized in work that we've been working with our carriers to ensure we’re aligned, we're ready to execute in compliance with the new requirements. And we do not view them as having a big impact on our business. I think the rules tend to focus on unsolicited contacts of Medicare beneficiaries and we don't engage in any unsolicited contacts.

So, there's been some attention paid to the 48-hour waiting period. We don't believe that that applies to consumer-initiated calls, which is the vast majority of our of our Medicare business. And while that 48-hour rule may apply that the schedule like personal marketing appointments, which traditional Medicare brokerage salespeople do have in-person marketing activities that we don’t at EverQuote. Nobody we've spoken to interprets the new rules as prohibiting a consumer from calling us to enroll in a Medicare plan. So, we'll continue to work with our carriers to interpret and comply with it. But today, we don't see these rules as having much of an impact on our business.

[John Wagner, Chief Financial Officer]

And Cory, it’s John here. I'll take the second part of that. And with regard to operating expenses, I guess, going back to the very beginning of the downturn, we were pretty quick to take action to make sure that we were resourcing the business correctly for the demand that that we saw going forward, especially in the auto insurance vertical. So we've done that and we've continued to do that.

You'll see the guidance that we have provided for Q2 does imply lower levels of operating expenses and that some steps that we've done internally already. So, I think you could expect that we will continue to tightly manage expenses. And I think even in the toughest parts of the downturn, we have, we've always made a priority of trying to manage the business for full year adjusted EBITDA.

That is something that we feel strongly about when possible that we would maintain that even, even regardless of demand conditions. So, that would be in line with what you might see from us.

[Cory Carpenter, JPMorgan]

Okay. Thank you, guys.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Thanks, Cory.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question will be from the line of Michael Graham with Canaccord. Your line is now open.

[Michael Graham, Canaccord]

Thank you, maybe just to follow on that last question on sort of expense management. And just like, is this a level – I am just trying to understand how you're thinking about profitability, overall, I think it’s totally understandable to kind of, pull the full-year guidance, given the environment in what we heard from some of your peers.

And, you have a slight EBITDA a loss targeted now for Q2 and just wondering. Sort of how you're thinking about if the environment does not improve in the short-term, how you're thinking about like, how much of a loss you'd be willing to incur on a quarterly basis? And just kind of like a related question is, are there other major investment areas where you are not entertaining kind of cutting back, because they're of central importance to the business?

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Sure. Thanks. Michael. I'll start us off like on that one. So yeah, we have guided to a slight adjusted EBITDA loss for Q2. We think there's, as we said there's reasons to believe that we could see a return to demand as we move through the year. But we believe we've taken the steps around operating expenses that will keep that adjusted EBITDA loss modest in Q2 and possibly into Q3.

And then, we do expect that in Q4, we’re influenced again by the health vertical and the annual enrollment period within Medicare. So, I think, we're pretty committed to full year managing, as much as possible to a positive adjusted EBITDA. And not to forget that much of our model is variable in nature. And so, when we do see reductions in cost, not only do we see reductions in things like advertising expenses, which you've seen up until now.

But you also see some semi-fixed costs, some of our technology costs that scales with revenue that actually comes down. So, I think we're comfortable that you're not going to see a dramatic difference in our adjusted EBITDA profile even if we see a scenario, which demand stays lower longer.

[John Wagner, Chief Financial Officer]

And Mike, with respect to the potential impact on investments, I think where we're focused right now is in parts of the business where we have stability and which will further diversify us from the direct carrier channel. And so we have shifted resources into non-auto vertical marketplaces. We've seen some great progress so far in homeowners, which was the first place that we redirected those resources. And look forward through a fast following with Life, Health, and Medicare marketplaces and continuing to invest in our agent channels.

I think if there's a place that might be affected depending on how the auto recovery proceeds over the course of the year, it probably would come from incremental advisor headcount, which we have historically flexed as that the growth as we're able to support it with cash flow from the marketplace. So that's probably the one area of investment that that we would take a look at first

[Michael Graham, Canaccord]

Alright. Sounds good. Thank you, guys.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Thanks, Mike.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question will be from the line of Jed Kelly with Oppenheimer. Your line is now open.

[Jed Kelly, Oppenheimer]

Hey, great. Thanks for taking my question. Since if I go back to some of your commentary, are you kind of believing just given the carrier conversation, the time it takes for capacity rates to the state board that 2Q is likely the trough quarter for this year? Is that kind of where you think your internal projections are?

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

So, we sort of been in the business of prediction a few times throughout this hard market cycle. And we haven't gotten it right. So I'm probably not going to make another prediction. What we can tell you is, we – Q4 was definitely a relative trough and the year began, as we expected it would with one major carrier really leaning back in pretty aggressively.

And then what’s happened subsequently is that loss ratios have remained elevated despite rate increases due to higher for longer inflation in areas that affect auto losses. And so, they're continuing to see a longer time and cost to repair vehicles.

Thanks to parts and labor, a slightly higher injury severity, a higher than historical catastrophe losses in Q1. And the response has been pretty consistent across most carriers, right there, okay? Well, we need to sort of revise upwards our plans for rate increases for the balance of the year. They're going to benefit from earning in previous rate increases and the state seems to be receptive.

And so, I think we have some comfort that things will continue to improve over the balance of the year. But, can we put a stake in the ground and say, Q2 is very likely to be the trough? I just think there's too much uncertainty to make a claim like that.

[Jed Kelly, Oppenheimer]

Got it. And then, looking at your VMM margin guidance, it looks like it's near 34% of based on my math, which would be kind of a thing as ever been? So, I mean, can you canoe preserve margins, VMM margins into the mid-30s in this low demand environment? I mean, we're seeing one of your competitors do the same thing when we expect your margins to kind of hold at these levels until demand comes back.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Yeah, just, so what we've reflected in Q2 guidance is, a VMMM that that implies an improved VMM as a percentage of revenue. That does reflect what we are seeing. It does reflect the fact that we had very good VMM margins in Q1. I think a lot of that is attributable as we mentioned to a combination of new technology that we've rolled out in our bidding technology, as well as a favorable market for advertising. And so a lot more opportunities on the landscape. And so, that is very much what we are seeing and I think we certainly feel confident in that in terms of the guidance that we've given you and maintaining those VMM levels.

[Jed Kelly, Oppenheimer]

All right. Thank you.

Thanks, Jed.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question will be from the line of Dan Day with B. Riley Securities. Your line is now open.

[Daniel Day, B. Riley Securities]

Yeah, afternoon, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. Just first quick one for me. Can you remind us what percent of the business - percent of revenue from that agent channel that you've talked about? I think you've said in the past just a reminder would be helpful.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

I'm sorry, Dan. Was it the agent channel?

[Daniel Day, B. Riley Securities]

Yeah, yeah, the agent channel as opposed to the direct carrier channel?

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Yeah, yeah, it hovers around 40% percent of revenue. And then, that has been consistent through the downturn. So that has been a very resilient channel for us.

[Daniel Day, B. Riley Securities]

Got it. Okay. Any comments you can provide to us in terms of like traffic at a marketplace, quote requests. I realized the challenge in terms of sort of monetizing them on the other side. But a lot of rate hikes are getting passed through. Wondering, just how robust that the traffic has been to the marketplace in Q1 and into Q2?

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Yes, so, traffic has definitely been a relative strength in the marketplace. In the first quarter, we grew quote request volume more than 20%. And there's a few factors contributing to that, the first, as you say is the rate cycle. So, you continue to see double-digit rate increases as the norm. And as a result, that's driving, elevated levels of shopping, as people get their renewal notices.

But at the same time, we've been rolling out our newest fitting technology which is driving record levels of efficiency in our ad spend and we believe it’s contributing meaningfully to our ability to take share and drive some real material growth during this period, as well.

[John Wagner, Chief Financial Officer]

And Dan, I would just say that, the effect of consumers out shopping is largely intuitive and largely what we expected. There's now industry research that backs that up that consumers are shopping more as they're seeing those envelopes that include double-digit increases in their policy premiums. It's a very natural reaction for consumers.

[Daniel Day, B. Riley Securities]

Got it. And a quick one, last call you guys could shelf on place, you talked about the opportunities for accretive acquisitions, just maybe remind us where you see the best opportunities there? Whether this sort of re-deceleration and although this is either accelerated or delayed any conversations, you're having on potential targets or ideas in terms of where to actually put that capital to work?

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Well, I think we continue to see opportunities arise are sensitive. The depressed auto market is actually accelerating the rate at which opportunities are presenting themselves. So, I would say, for us, it has neither accelerated nor decelerated any efforts. We continue to meet with companies in the space. Our view is, things that that we can, that can meaningfully accelerate our progress against our strategies in a way that makes sense for us we will take into consideration. But that's sort of the extent of what we can share right now.

[Daniel Day, B. Riley Securities]

All right. Thanks guys. Appreciate taking the questions.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

Thanks, Dan.

[Operator]

Thank you. That concludes our call. We will now turn back over to the management team for closing remarks.

[Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer]

All right. Thank you. Thank you all for joining us today. And while it's unfortunate to experience another false start in the auto recovery and this extended period of uncertainty, we have high conviction that it's just a matter of time before we’ll have to stabilize and carrier acquisition spend normalizes. And Q1 provides just a glimpse of what even a partial recovery would start to look like.

And in the interim, the team is doing a hell of a job controlling the things we can control to ensure we emerge a much stronger, more diversified business that includes improving unit economics and profitability in our marketplace in our DTCA. We are accelerating our non-auto verticals, strengthening our advantage with local agents and beginning to incorporate AI throughout the business.

EverQuote’s future is bright. We have made hardened progress towards building the digital insurance destination for the future. And we look forward to sharing updates in the quarters to come. Thanks all

[Operator]

That concludes today’s call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect your lines.
