Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Porch Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022. The information as of December 31, 2021 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other interim period or future year.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss consists of adjustments related to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications to previously reported 2021 balances were made to conform to the current period presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis these estimates, which include, but are not limited to,

estimated variable consideration for services performed, estimated lifetime value of the commissions, current estimate for credit losses, depreciable lives for property and equipment, the valuation of and useful lives for acquired intangible assets, goodwill, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, assumptions used in stock-based compensation expense, unpaid losses for insurance claims and loss adjustment expenses, contingent consideration, earnout liabilities and private warrant liabilities, are evaluated by management. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, judgments, and assumptions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, money market accounts on deposit with financial institutions, money market funds, certificates of deposit and fixed-maturity securities, as well as receivable balance in the course of collection.

The Company’s insurance carrier subsidiary has exposure and remains liable in the event of an insolvency of one of its primary reinsurers. Management and its reinsurance intermediary regularly assess the credit quality and ratings of its reinsurer counterparties. Two reinsurers represented more than 10% individually, and 38% in aggregate, of the Company’s insurance subsidiary’s total reinsurance receivables as of March 31, 2022.

Substantially all of the Company’s insurance-related revenues in the Insurance segment are derived from customers in Texas (which represent approximately 57% of such revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022), South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Arizona, which could be adversely affected by economic conditions, an increase in competition, or environmental impacts and changes.

No individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, or 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company held approximately $233.4 million of cash with one U.S. commercial bank.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances that may exceed the insured limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Restricted cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 includes $0.3 million held in certificates of deposits and money market mutual funds pledged to the Department of Insurance in certain states as a condition of its Certificate of Authority for the purpose of meeting obligations to policyholders and creditors, $7.1 million in funds held for the payment of possible warranty claims as required under regulatory guidelines in twenty five states, $0.3 million of customer deposits, $0.4 million in escrow with an insurance regulator, and $2.6 million related to acquisition indemnifications, of which $0.5 million is recorded in non-current assets. Restricted cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021, includes $0.3 million held in certificates of deposits and money market mutual funds pledged to the Department of Insurance in certain states as a condition of its Certificate of Authority for the purpose of meeting obligations to policyholders and creditors, $5.9 million in funds held for the payment of possible warranty claims as required under regulatory guidelines in twenty five states, $0.3 million of customer deposits, and $2.6 million related to acquisition indemnifications in escrow accounts, of which $0.5 million is recorded in non-current assets.

The reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents to amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	292,373	$	315,741
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents - current		10,162		8,551
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents - non-current		500		500
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	303,035	$	324,792

Accounts Receivable and Long-term Insurance Commissions Receivable

Accounts Receivable and Long-term Insurance Commissions Receivable

Accounts receivable consist principally of amounts due from enterprise customers and other corporate partnerships, as well as credit card receivables. The Company estimates allowances for uncollectible receivables based on the creditworthiness of its customers, historical trend analysis and general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could affect the Company’s estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for uncollectible receivables at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Long-term insurance commissions receivable balance consists of the estimated commissions from policy renewals expected to be collected. The Company records the amount of renewal insurance commissions expected to be collected in the next twelve months as current accounts receivable.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The Company capitalizes deferred policy acquisitions costs (“DAC”) which consist primarily of commissions, premium taxes and policy underwriting and production expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition by the Company’s insurance subsidiary of new or renewal insurance contracts. DAC are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the policies to which they relate, which is generally one year. The amortization of DAC is included in sales and marketing expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. DAC is also reduced by ceding commissions paid by reinsurance companies which represent recoveries of acquisition costs. DAC is periodically reviewed for recoverability and adjusted if necessary. Future investment income is considered in determining the recoverability of DAC. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, DAC of $7.7 million and $4.0 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Changes in DAC for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:

	2022
Deferred policy acquisition costs at December 31, 2021 (gross)	$	33,014
Ceded deferred policy acquisition costs		(29,026)
Deferred policy acquisition costs at December 31, 2021 (net)		3,988
Capitalized costs		16,753
Amortized costs		(13,001)
Deferred policy acquisition costs at March 31, 2022 (net)	$	7,740

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value, as defined by the accounting standards, represents the amount at which an asset or liability would be transferred in a current orderly transaction between willing market participants. Emphasis is placed on observable inputs being used to assess fair value. To reflect this approach the standards require a three-tiered fair value hierarchy be

applied based on the nature of the inputs used when measuring fair value. The three hierarchical levels of inputs are as follows:

Level 1 Observable inputs, such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2 Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This may include active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not highly active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are arrived at by means other than current observable market activity.

The level of the least observable significant input used in assessing the fair value determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires the use of judgment specific to the asset or liability.

Other Insurance Liabilities, Current

Other Insurance Liabilities, Current

The following table details the components of other insurance liabilities, current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Ceded reinsurance premiums payable	$	21,439	$	22,523
Funds held under reinsurance treaty		2,092		2,206
Commissions payable, reinsurers and agents		9,259		10,697
General and accrued expenses payable		579		321
Advance premiums		9,680		4,277
Other insurance liabilities, current	$	43,049	$	40,024

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Provisions for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were a $0.2 million benefit and a $0.4 million benefit, respectively, and the effective tax rates for these periods were 2.96% and 0.53%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the 2022 period and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to a full valuation allowance related to the Company’s net deferred assets. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the 2021 period and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to a full valuation allowance related to the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update require an entity (acquirer) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes such items at fair value on the acquisition date. The amendments of this ASU do not affect the accounting for other assets or liabilities that may arise from revenue contracts with customers in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods in those fiscal years. The ASU clarifies that early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition

date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company early adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022 and will apply the guidance prospectively for business combinations that occur after the adoption date. Therefore, the adoption will have no impact to the existing consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows.
