Forward guidance

EverQuote anticipates Revenue, Variable Marketing Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:

Tailwinds

  • First quarter 2021 Revenue of $100 - $102 million.
  • First quarter 2021 Variable Marketing Margin of $30.5 - $31.5 million.
  • First quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $4 - $5 million.
  • Full year 2021 Revenue of $430- $440 million.
  • Full year 2021 Variable Marketing Margin of $135 - $140 million.

Headwinds

  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $25 - $30 million.
  • Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income (loss) in this press release
  • Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis
  • Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss).
  • Such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.
