TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagerty, Inc. (NYSE: HGTY), an automotive enthusiast brand and leading specialty vehicle insurance provider, announced today financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

"2024 was another excellent year at Hagerty with 20% revenue growth fueled by a record 279,000 new members. We are also investing to improve Hagerty and become more efficient in how we deliver on our brand promise to members and maintain our industry leading net promoter score of 82. These initiatives allowed us to translate revenue growth into even higher rates of profit growth, with net income up 178% and Adjusted EBITDA up 41%," said McKeel Hagerty, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Hagerty.

"In 2025, Hagerty's customer-centric model and automotive expertise should result in written premium growth of 13-14% and even faster rates of profit growth. Top-line growth should accelerate in the back half of 2025 as we anticipate rolling out the State Farm Classic Plus program to over 25 states in the year. Longer-term, we expect to more than double our policy count to three million by 2030," continued Mr. Hagerty.

"2025 will be a year of elevated investment into our technology platforms that should enable us to deliver the accelerated growth we anticipate in 2026 and beyond, with more modern risk rating architecture and greater segmentation. These operational and capital investments will also position us for future margin expansion from the expected efficiency gains as the new technology platform improves and simplifies the member experience," added Mr. Hagerty.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated Net income, excluding net interest and other income (expense), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude (i) net gains and losses related to our warrant liabilities; (ii) share-based compensation expense; and when applicable, (iii) restructuring, impairment and related charges; (iv) gains, losses and impairments related to divestitures; and (v) certain other unusual items.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations.

By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation to Net income, which is the most comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for Net income or other financial statement data presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Net income:

²	Includes interest income and net investment income related to our investment portfolio, which was diversified in the second quarter of 2024 and resulted in opening positions in higher yielding fixed maturity securities, and, to a much lesser extent, equity securities.
³	Other unusual items include professional fees associated with the warrant exchange, as well as certain material severance expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 and certain legal settlement expenses (net) recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 Outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Net income:

²	Includes interest income and net investment income related to our investment portfolio, which was diversified in the second quarter of 2024 and resulted in opening positions in higher yielding fixed maturity securities, and, to a much lesser extent, equity securities.

Adjusted EPS

We define Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("Adjusted EPS") as consolidated Net income, excluding net gains and losses related to our warrant liabilities, divided by our outstanding and total potentially dilutive securities, which includes (i) the weighted average issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock; (ii) all issued and outstanding non-controlling interest units of THG; (iii) all issued and outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis; (iv) all unissued share-based compensation awards; and (v) all unexercised warrants outstanding prior to the Warrant Exchange.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EPS is basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS"), which is calculated as Net income available to Class A Common Stockholders divided by the weighted average number of Class A Common Stock shares outstanding during the period.

We present Adjusted EPS because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the consolidated performance of other companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted EPS, which compares our consolidated Net income with our outstanding and potentially dilutive shares, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance on a fully consolidated and fully diluted basis.

Management uses Adjusted EPS:

as a measurement of operating performance of our business on a fully consolidated and fully diluted basis;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
as a preferred predictor of core operating performance, comparisons to prior periods and competitive positioning.

We caution investors that Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including Basic EPS, and that Adjusted EPS, as we define it, may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EPS has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as a measure of profit or loss per share.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Basic EPS:
