Forward guidance

The Company’s outlook for full year 2023 is as follows:

Tailwinds

  • Total written premiums placed for 2023 are expected to be between $2.83 billion and $2.96 billion, representing organic growth of 28% on the low end of the range to 34% on the high end of the range.
  • Total revenues for 2023 are expected to be between $258 million and $267 million, representing organic growth of 23% on the low end of the range to 28% on the high end of the range.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to expand for the full year 2023.
  • Premiums were up 44% and 42% for the quarter and full year, respectively, as we saw continued benefit from auto and home rates that will likely persist well into 2023 given personal lines carrier loss experience.
  • We expect to achieve further productivity gains and total producer growth as we progress through 2023.

Headwinds

  • Adjusted EBITDA margin and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP metric are not provided because they cannot be calculated without unreasonable efforts.
  • Conditions impacting insurance carriers or other parties with which Goosehead does business
  • The economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
  • The loss of one or more key executives or an inability to attract and retain qualified personnel
  • The failure to attract and retain highly qualified franchisees
