CAMBRIDGE, Mass., August 5, 2019 — EverQuote, Inc. (“EverQuote” or “the Company”), a leading online insurance marketplace in the U.S. connecting consumers with insurance providers, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“We are pleased to report a strong second quarter across all our key financial metrics, including: revenue and variable marketing margin,” said Seth Birnbaum, CEO and Co-Founder of EverQuote. “In the second quarter we reported total revenue growth of 35%, driven by broad based momentum and the strength of our data driven marketplace. We are laser focused on our mission, key initiatives and growth levers: expanding consumer demand, growing provider budget, increasing consumer-provider engagement and adding new verticals, including the successful launch of renters and health insurance in the quarter.

“During the quarter, EverQuote benefitted from solid execution combined with increasing momentum in industry trends, the continued secular shift of insurance online and strength in the auto vertical.

“As we look to the remainder of 2019, we are making progress on our goal to be the largest source of insurance policies online by expanding the value we deliver to consumers and providers via new and improved product experiences. Based on our strong second quarter results and positive momentum, we are increasing our guidance for the full year 2019,” concluded Mr. Birnbaum.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights:

(All comparisons are relative to the second quarter of 2018):

• Total revenue of $55.7 million, an increase of 35% driven by strength in consumer quote request volume.

• Automotive insurance vertical revenue of $49.8 million, an increase of 40%.

• Revenue from our other insurance verticals, which includes home, life and our newly launched health and renters insurance, increased to $5.9 million.

• Variable Marketing Margin of $16.7 million, an increase of 38%.

• GAAP net loss of $2.0 million, compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.7 million.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million, compared to $(0.6) million.

Second Quarter 2019 Business Highlights:

(All comparisons are relative to the second quarter of 2018):

• The Company successfully launched new health and renters insurance verticals.

• The Company’s direct business increased to 93% of revenue.

• EverQuote added 11 new and 1 expanded partial technology integrations with providers.

• The Company’s distribution growth and traffic optimization initiatives led to a 50% increase in quote requests.

Third Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Guidance:

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

Third quarter 2019:

• Revenue of $57.0–$59.0 million.

• Variable Marketing Margin of $17.0–$18.0 million.

• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.0–$2.0 million.

Full year 2019

• Revenue of $215.0–$219.0 million, an increase from our previous range of $197.0–$203.0 million.

• Variable Marketing Margin of $62.5–$64.5 million, an increase from our previous range of $55.5–$58.5 million.

• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.0–$2.5 million, an improvement to our previous range of $(3.0)–$(1.0) million.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Third Quarter and Full Year 2019 Guidance” above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net loss in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense, and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes on a consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

(1) Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we revised our definition of variable marketing margin, or VMM, as revenue, as reported in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss, less advertising costs (a component of sales and marketing expense, as reported in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss). We use VMM to measure the efficiency of individual advertising and consumer acquisition sources and to make trade-off decisions to manage our return on advertising. Under our previous definition of VMM, our VMM for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $12.8 million and $24.5 million, respectively, as advertising costs used in our previously defined VMM calculation excluded advertising costs related to our EverDrive app and advertising costs not related to obtaining quote requests.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Please see “EverQuote, Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” below for more information.

EVERQUOTE, INC.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding EverQuote’s financial results, the Company has presented adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; interest income and interest expense; and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). The Company monitors and presents adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing EverQuote’s business. In particular, the Company believes that excluding the impact of these items in calculating adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of EverQuote’s core operating performance.

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate EverQuote’s operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in EverQuote’s business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that the Company excludes in the calculations of adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company believes that this financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating EverQuote’s operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce the usefulness of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
