Exhibit 99.1
EverQuote Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
| Revenue Increased 34% Year-Over-Year to $90.0 Million |
| Non-Auto Insurance Revenue Increased 55% Year-Over-Year to $15.2 Million |
| Variable Market Margin Expanded to a Record 33% of Total Revenue |
| Company Raises Full Year 2020 Guidance |
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 2, 2020 EverQuote, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVER), a leading online insurance marketplace, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Our strategy continues to yield excellent results and we reported a strong quarter across all of our key financial metrics delivering 34% year-over-year revenue growth and 41% year-over-year VMM growth, said Seth Birnbaum, CEO and Co-Founder of EverQuote. During the quarter, revenue from our non-auto insurance verticals, which includes home and renters, life, health and commercial insurance, grew 55% year-over-year. Our marketplace flywheel is demonstrating progress and resilience benefiting from increased diversity across our team, traffic, verticals, distribution and customer experiences including direct-to-consumer agency initiatives in Life and Health insurance. We continue to have strong momentum in the business, benefitting from the massive industry shift of nearly $150B of insurance distribution spend moving online, allowing us to end the year raising our full year 2020 guidance, concluded Mr. Birnbaum.
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights:
(All comparisons are relative to the third quarter of 2019 unless otherwise stated):
| Total revenue of $90.0 million, an increase of 34%. |
| Automotive insurance vertical revenue of $74.8 million, an increase of 30%. |
| Revenue from our other insurance verticals, which includes home and renters, life, health and commercial insurance, increased 55% to $15.2 million. |
| Variable Marketing Margin of $29.4 million, an increase of 41%. |
| GAAP net loss of $3.2 million, compared to GAAP net income of $0.2 million. |
| Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $3.9 million. |
Third Quarter 2020 Business Highlights:
| The Companys consumer traffic initiatives led to an 18% year-over-year increase in revenue per quote request and a 14% year-over-year increase in quote requests. |
| More than 90% of revenue from carriers came from those who have been on our platform for more than a year. |
| The Company obtained a deep level of integration with 72% of its carrier partners, improving the customer experience. |
| On September 1, 2020, EverQuote completed the previously announced acquisition of Crosspointe Insurance & Financial Services, LLC, a leading health insurance agency headquartered in Evansville, Indiana. |
Fourth Quarter and Increased Full-Year 2020 Guidance:
EverQuote anticipates Revenue, Variable Marketing Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:
Fourth quarter 2020:
| Revenue of $90.4 - $92.4 million. |
| Variable Marketing Margin of $29.3 - $30.3 million. |
| Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $4.0 - $5.0 million. |
Full year 2020
| Revenue of $340.0 - $342.0 million, an increase from our previous range of $331.0 - $336.0 million. |
| Variable Marketing Margin of $106.0 - $107.0 million, an increase from our previous range of $101.0 - $104.5 million. |
| Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $17.0 - $18.0 million, an increase from our previous range of $15.0 - $17.5 million. |
With respect to the Companys expectations under Fourth Quarter and Increased Full Year 2020 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, acquisition-related costs, 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.

EVERQUOTE, INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the Companys financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding EverQuotes 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; acquisition-related costs; interest income; and 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 EverQuotes 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 EverQuotes core operating performance.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate EverQuotes operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in EverQuotes 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 EverQuotes operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of the Companys past performance and future prospects.
The Companys 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 Companys non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
