Q: How does the replacement value increase due to tariffs or market changes affect your pricing strategy? A: (Matthew Neagle, COO) We regularly update replacement values, which can increase prices due to higher coverage. Our data advantage allows us to target lower-risk segments with attractive pricing. We believe our data and pricing sophistication will enable us to pass through premium increases effectively.
Q: What percentage of consumers in Texas are selecting HOA versus Porch Insurance, and how does this compare to expectations? A: (Matt Ehrlichman, CEO) We don't provide specific metrics, but we focus on segments like homebuyers and new construction, where we convert well. Our products are positioned for these segments, and we are seeing good growth in new business premium.
Q: Can you explain the surplus figures and how they relate to the reciprocal's financial health? A: (Shawn Tabak, CFO) As of March 31, 2025, the surplus combined with non-admitted assets was $198 million, the highest ever for the reciprocal. This includes some share value, and the statutory surplus is around $105 million. The surplus is expected to fluctuate due to weather claims but remains in a healthy position.
Q: What steps are needed for Porch to report GAAP financials without consolidating the reciprocal? A: (Shawn Tabak, CFO) The consolidation is due to the surplus note relationship. We are pleased with the current structure, including the 15% coupon surplus note. While we could sell the surplus note in the future, we are not in a rush to change the current setup.
