• Agency Fees: Fees separate from commissions charged directly to clients for efforts performed in the issuance of new insurance policies.

• Carrier: An insurance company.

• Carrier Appointment: A contractual relationship with a Carrier.

• Client Retention: Calculated by comparing the number of all clients that had at least one policy in force twelve months prior to the date of measurement and still have at least one policy in force at the date of measurement.

• Contingent Commission: Revenue in the form of contractual payments from Carriers contingent upon several factors, including growth and profitability of the business placed with the Carrier.

• Corporate Channel: The Corporate Channel distributes insurance through a network of company-owned and financed operations with employees that are hired, trained and managed by Goosehead.

• Corporate Channel Adjusted EBITDA: Segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization allocable to the Corporate Channel, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation.

• Franchise Agreement: Agreements governing our relationships with Franchisees.

• Franchise Channel: The Franchise Channel network consists of Franchisee operations that are owned and managed by Franchisees. These business owners have a contractual relationship with Goosehead to use our processes, training, implementation, systems and back-office support team to place insurance. In exchange, Goosehead is entitled to an Initial Franchise Fee and Royalty Fees.

• Franchise Channel Adjusted EBITDA: Segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude other non-operating items allocable to the Franchise Channel and equity-based compensation.

NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters.

• Policies in Force: As of any reported date, the total count of current (non-cancelled) policies placed by us with our Carriers.

• Pre-IPO LLC Members: The members of Goosehead Financial, LLC prior to the closing of the initial public offering of Goosehead Insurance, Inc., which primarily consist of members of management.

1. Organization

On May 1, 2018 Goosehead Insurance, Inc. ("GSHD") completed an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 9,810 thousand shares of Class A common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, which included 1,280 thousand shares issued pursuant to the underwriter's over-allotment option. GSHD became the sole managing member of Goosehead Financial, LLC (“GF”). GF was organized on January 1, 2016 as a Delaware Limited Liability Company and is headquartered in Westlake, TX. The operations of GF represent the predecessor to GSHD prior to the Offering, and the consolidated and combined entities of GF are described in more detail below. Information for any periods prior to May 1, 2018 relates to GF and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

GSHD (collectively with its combined and consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) provides personal and commercial property and casualty insurance brokerage services for its clients through a network of corporate-owned agencies and franchise units across the nation.

The operations of the corporate-owned units are recorded in Texas Wasatch Insurance Services, L.P. (“TWIS”)—a Texas limited partnership headquartered in Westlake, TX and operating since 2003. TWIS is 99.6% owned by Goosehead Insurance Holdings, LLC (“GIH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GF. The Company had seven and six corporate-owned locations in operation at September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The operations of the franchise units are recorded in Goosehead Insurance Agency, LLC (“GIA”)—a Delaware limited liability company headquartered in Westlake, TX and operating since 2011. GIA is 100% owned by GIH. Franchisees are provided access to insurance Carrier Appointments, product training, technology infrastructure, client service centers and back office services. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company sold 52 and 33 franchise locations, respectively and had 424 and 267 operating franchise locations as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. No franchises were purchased by the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

In connection with the Offering, both Goosehead Management, LLC (“GM”) and Texas Wasatch Insurance Holdings Group LLC (“TWIHG”) became wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of GF. Both GM and TWIHG are non-operating holding companies created to receive management fees from the operating entities TWIS and GIA.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of GF.

Reorganization Transactions

In connection with the Offering, the company completed the following transactions (the "Reorganization Transactions"):

• The GF limited liability company agreement was amended to, among other things, i) appoint GSHD as the sole managing member of GF and ii) modify the capital structure of GF by reclassifying the interests previously held by Pre-IPO LLC Members into a single new class of non-voting LLC Units.

• GSHD was authorized to issue two classes of common stock. 9,810 thousand shares of Class A common stock were issued pursuant to the Offering, including the underwriters' over-allotment option. 22,747 thousand shares of Class B common stock were issued to the Pre-IPO LLC Members in an amount equal to the number of LLC Units held by each such Pre-IPO LLC Member in exchange for certain management rights of GF. Each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of GSHD's stockholders. Each share of Class B common stock can be exchanged for one share of Class A common stock or, at GSHD's discretion, a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock, thus canceling the share of Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis.

• The Goosehead Management Holders and Texas Wasatch Holders indirectly transferred their ownership interests in GM and TWIHG, respectively, to GSHD in exchange for the Goosehead Management Note and Texas Wasatch Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Goosehead Management Note and the Texas Wasatch Note was approximately $114 million. Because the net proceeds from the Offering were insufficient to repay the aggregate principal amount of the notes, 3,724 thousand shares of Class A common stock were issued to the Goosehead Management Holders and the Texas Wasatch Holders for the difference. GSHD contributed direct and indirect ownership interests in each of TWIHG and GM to GF.

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Following completion of the Reorganization Transactions and the Offering, GSHD owned 37.3% of GF and the Pre-IPO LLC Members owned the remaining 62.7%. GSHD is the sole managing member of GF and, although GSHD holds a minority economic interest in GF, GSHD has the sole voting power and control of management of GF. Accordingly, GSHD consolidates the financial results of GF and reports non-controlling interest in GSHD's consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position at September 30, 2018, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements that are included in the Final Prospectus.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates as more information becomes known.

Capitalized IPO Related Costs

In connection with the Offering, the Company incurred costs which were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon completion of the Offering, these deferred costs were charged against the proceeds from the Offering with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital. There were $0 and $170 thousand of IPO related costs included in other assets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Income Taxes

Prior to the Offering, GF was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, GF's taxable income or loss was included in the taxable income of its members. Accordingly, no income tax expense was recorded for federal and state and local jurisdictions for periods prior to the Offering.

In connection with the Offering completed on May 1, 2018, the Company became a taxable entity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-18): This standard requires that the Statement of Cash Flows explain the changes during the period of cash and cash equivalents inclusive of amounts categorized as Restricted Cash. As such, upon adoption, the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows will show the sources and uses of cash that explain the movement in the balance of cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of restricted cash, over the period presented. As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the standard will become effective for the Company January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect that this standard will have a material impact on the Company's Statement of Cash Flows.

Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15): This standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified and applies to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The standard will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2016-15 and has determined the impact to be immaterial. The Company does not, at this time, engage in the activities being addressed by the standard.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09): This standard supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a new framework for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard also requires significantly more comprehensive disclosures than the existing standard. Guidance subsequent to ASU 2014-09 has been issued to clarify various provisions in the standard, including principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, licensing transactions, as well as various technical corrections and improvements. This standard may be adopted using either a retrospective or modified retrospective method. According to the superseding standard ASU 2015-14 that deferred the effective dates of the preceding, and because the Company is filing as an emerging growth company, the standard will become effective for the Company January 1, 2019, but the Company is not required to present the impacts of the standard until it files its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact this standard is expected to have on the consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt the modified retrospective method. The primary anticipated impacts of the new standard to the Company's revenues and expenses are as follows:

Under the new guidance, the Company expects commission revenues will be recognized at the effective date of the policy, which will accelerate some revenues. Currently, commissions from insurance carriers, net of estimated cancellations, are recognized as revenue when the data necessary to reasonably determine such amounts is made available to the Company. For contingent commissions, the Company anticipates revenues will be estimated and recorded throughout the year as the underlying business is placed with the insurance carriers as opposed to the Company's historical recognition when the Company received cash, the related policy detail, or other carrier specific information from the insurance carrier, typically in the first quarter of the following year. The effect of this change will result in revenue being recognized more evenly throughout the year.

Franchise revenues, including franchise fees are also likely to change under the new guidance. Currently, initial franchise fees are recognized as revenue in the month the agency owner or initial agency representative attends training. Under the new guidance, the Company anticipates these revenues will likely be recognized over a longer period of time.

The Company also expects to recognize an asset for the costs to obtain and/or fulfill a contract and to amortize on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the services to which the asset relates.

The Company intends to continue to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 and intends to further clarify the expected impact of the adoption of the standard in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Leases (ASU 2016-02): This standard establishes a new lease accounting model, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. It should be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with the option to elect various practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will become effective for the Company January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

5. Note Payable

On August 3, 2018, the Company refinanced its $3.0 million revolving credit facility and $50.0 million term note payable to a $13.0 million revolving credit facility and $40.0 million term note payable in order to obtain a more favorable interest rate on the outstanding debt. The Company has the right, subject to approval by the administrative agent and each issuing bank, to increase the commitments under the credit facilities an additional $50.0 million.

The $13.0 million revolving credit facility accrues interest on amounts drawn at an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%, then at an interest rate determined by the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $10.0 million drawn against the revolver. At September 30, 2018, the Company had a letter of credit of $500,000 applied against the maximum borrowing availability, thus amounts available to draw totaled $2,500,000. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions. Interest payment on the revolving credit facility totaled $72 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The $40.0 million term note accrues interest at an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%, then at an interest rate determined by the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. The aggregate principal amount of the term note as of September 30, 2018 is $39.5 million, payable in quarterly installments of (x) $500,000 from the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019, (y) $750,000 from the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2019 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020, and (z) $1,250,000 from the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, with a balloon payment of the entire unpaid principal amount of the term note on August 3, 2021.The term note is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions.

The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier are as follows:

Leverage Ratio	Interest Rate
< 1.50x	LIBOR + 175.0 bps
> 1.50x	LIBOR + 200.0 bps
> 2.50x	LIBOR + 225.0 bps
> 3.50x	LIBOR + 250.0 bps

Maturities of the term note payable for the next four calendar years as of September 30, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

	Amount
2018	$	500
2019	2,500
2020	4,000
2021	32,500
	$	39,500

The $10.0 million drawn against the revolver is coterminous with the term loan and is due in full on August 3, 2021.

Loan origination fees of $606 thousand at September 30, 2018 are reflected as a reduction to the note balance and will be amortized through interest expense over three years (the term of the note payable). As part of the refinancing, $871 thousand of origination fees from previous debt were immediately recognized as interest expense.

The Company’s note payable agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants. Under these restrictions, the Company is limited in the amount of debt incurred and distributions payable. In addition, the credit agreement contains certain change of control provisions that, if broken, would trigger a default. Finally, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Because of both instruments’ origination date and variable interest rate, the note payable balance at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximates fair value using Level 2 inputs, described below.

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

• Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets.

• Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset.

• Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, expiring in various years through 2029. In addition to monthly lease payments, the lease agreements require the Company to reimburse the lessors for its portion of operating costs each year.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2018(in thousands):

7. Income Taxes

As a result of the Reorganization Transactions and the Offering, GSHD became the sole managing member of GF, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, GF is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by GF is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including GSHD, on a pro rata basis. GSHD is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to GSHD's allocable share of income of GF.

Uncertain tax positions

GSHD has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2018.

Tax Receivable Agreement

GF intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Units and corresponding Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock occurs. Future taxable redemptions or exchanges are expected to result in tax basis adjustments to the assets of GF that will be allocated to the Company and thus produce favorable tax attributes. These tax attributes would not be available to us in the absence of those transactions. The anticipated tax basis adjustments are expected to reduce the amount of tax that GSHD would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

GSHD entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members on May 1, 2018 that provides for the payment by GSHD to the Pre-IPO LLC Members of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that GSHD actually realizes as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in GSHD's assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement.

During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2018, no distributions or redemptions were made that triggered an increase in GSHD's tax basis.

8. Other income (expense)

On June 1, 2017, GF executed a buyout agreement with a franchisee per the terms of a franchise agreement executed in 2014. As part of the buyout, the departing franchisee purchased Goosehead’s economic interests in future royalty fees. Goosehead recognized a $3.5 million gain on the transaction in June 2017 which is included in Other income on the consolidated statement of income.

9. Stockholders' Equity

Class A Common Stock

GSHD has a total of 13,533 thousand shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at September 30, 2018. Each share of Class A common stock holds economic rights and entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD.

Class B Common Stock

GSHD has a total of 22,747 thousand shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at September 30, 2018. Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD.

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to GSHD's shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law, by agreement, or by GSHD's certificate of incorporation.

Non-Controlling Interests

Following the Offering, GSHD became the sole managing member of GF and, as a result, it consolidates the financial results of GF. GSHD reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in GF held by the other members of GF.

On a quarterly basis, GF makes distributions to the LLC Unit holders on a pro rata basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, GF made distributions of $1.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of which $0.9 million and $2.9 million, where made to Pre-IPO LLC Members, respectively. The remaining $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, were made to GSHD and were eliminated in consolidation.

Under the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement, the Pre-IPO LLC Members have the right, from and after the completion of the Offering (subject to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement), to require GSHD to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at GSHD's election, newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of GSHD's Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a Pre-IPO LLC Member, GSHD may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if GSHD, at the election of a Pre-IPO LLC Member, redeems or exchanges LLC Units of such Pre-IPO LLC Member pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Except for transfers to GSHD pursuant to the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement or to certain permitted transferees, the Pre-IPO LLC Members are not permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any LLC Units or shares of Class B common stock.

The following table summarizes the ownership interest in GF as of September 30, 2018 (in thousands).

	September 30, 2018
	LLC Units	Ownership %
Number of LLC Units held by GSHD	13,533	37.3%
Number of LLC Units held by non-controlling interest holders	22,747	62.7%
Number of LLC Units outstanding	36,280	100.0%

The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income to GSHD and the non-controlling interest holders. The non-controlling interest holders' weighted average ownership percentage for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 62.7%. All net income prior to the Offering is attributed to non-controlling interest holders.

During the quarter, the Company corrected a misclassification of $745 thousand of distributions from accumulated deficit to non-controlling interest to properly reflect the distributions made to Pre-IPO LLC Members during the second quarter of 2018. These amounts were previously shown as a change to accumulated deficit on the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018.

Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") based on net income attributable to GSHD for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of September 30, 2018(in thousands, except per share amounts). Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to GSHD by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The Company has not included the effects of conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares in the diluted EPS calculation using the "if-converted" method, because doing so has no impact on diluted EPS.

(2) 1,650 thousand stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive, as GSHD recorded a net loss for the period.

The following table sets forth the calculation of pro forma basic EPS based on pro forma net income attributable to GSHD for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, divided by the pro forma basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of September 30, 2017 (in thousands, except per share amounts). Pro forma diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing pro forma net income attributable to GSHD by the pro forma weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to pro forma potentially dilutive securities.

10. Equity-Based Compensation

A summary of equity-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Class B unit compensation	$	—	$	1,150	$	26,134	$	1,335
Stock options	345		—		604		—
Equity-based compensation expense	$	345	$	1,150	$	26,738	$	1,335

Class B unit compensation:

Prior to the Offering, certain Pre-IPO LLC Members held non-vesting and non-voting Class B units. In accordance with accounting guidance, any dividends paid to Class B unit holders are recognized as compensation expense when declared, as the Class B non-vesting units are considered to be a non-substantive class of equity. Dividends paid to Class B unit holders prior to the Offering, included in employee compensation and benefits, totaled $0 and $122 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $1,150 thousand and $1,335 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, immediately prior to the Offering, historical Class B interests in TWIHG and GM vested by converting to the Texas Wasatch Note and Goosehead Management Note, respectively, paid with a combination of proceeds from the Offering and shares of Class A common stock. This conversion changed the nature of the Class B interests from a profit sharing arrangement to a substantive class of equity and were expensed under the guidance of ASC 718. At the Offering price of $10.00 per share, GSHD incurred total compensation expense of $6.2 million in connection with the conversion, recognized in the second quarter of 2018. Class B interests in GF were also deemed vested by converting, along with all pre-offering Class A equity, on a one-to-one basis with the number of LLC units previously owned, to both LLC Units and shares of Class B common stock. This conversion changed the nature of the Class B interests from a profit sharing arrangement to a substantive class of equity and were expensed under the guidance of ASC 718. At the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, the Company issued a total of 1,978 thousand LLC Units and shares of Class B common stock and incurred total compensation expense of $19.8 million as part of the conversion, recognized in the second quarter of 2018.

Stock options:

In connection with the IPO, GSHD granted 1,650 thousand options to directors and certain employees. The stock options were granted with a strike price of $10.00 per share (the initial public offering price). The 365 thousand director stock options vest quarterly over a three year period, and the 1,285 thousand employee stock options vest annually from 2020 to 2022. The grant date fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility	25	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%
Expected term (in years)	5.95
Risk-free interest rate	2.59	%

GSHD will recognize the total compensation expense of $5.2 million related to such option grants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award recipient (three years for directors and four years for certain employees).

In April 2018, GSHD adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which reserved 1,500 thousand shares of Class A Common Stock for delivery to directors, officers, and managing directors in connection with future awards granted under the plan. GSHD also adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which reserved 20 thousand shares of Class A Common Stock for delivery to employees. There were no shares outstanding on either of these plans at September 30, 2018.

11. Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments: Corporate Channel and Franchise Channel. The Corporate Channel consists of company-owned and financed operations with employees who are hired, trained, and managed by Goosehead. The Franchise Channel network consists of franchisee operations that are owned and managed by individual business owners. These business owners have a contractual relationship with Goosehead to use the Company's processes, systems, and back-office support team to sell insurance and manage their business. In exchange, Goosehead is entitled to an initial franchise fee and ongoing royalty fees. Allocations of contingent commissions and certain operating expenses are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates primarily using revenue, headcount and other information. The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation and other non-operating items, including, among other things, certain non-cash charges and certain non-recurring or non-operating gains or losses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a performance measure to manage resources and make decisions about the business. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables (in thousands). There are no intersegment sales, only interest income and interest expense related to an intersegment line of credit, all of which eliminate in consolidation. The “Other” column includes any income and expenses not allocated to reportable segments and corporate-related items, including equity-based compensation, certain legal expenses and interest related to the note payable.

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, revenue increased by 49% to $16.1 million from $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue increased by 44% to $45.4 million from $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We experienced headwinds due to a softness in the housing market towards the end of the third quarter that we expect to continue into the fourth quarter. However, we are taking steps during the fourth quarter that are designed to mitigate these housing market headwinds.

	Three Months Ended September 30						Nine months ended September 30,
	2018		2017		% Change		2018		2017		% Change

ended September 30, 2017. Revenue from Agency Fees increased by $0.5 million, or 56%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and increased by $1.4 million, or 54%, to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in total sales agent head count to 174 at September 30, 2018, from 112 at September 30, 2017, a 55% increase.

Renewal Revenue (Corporate) increased by $0.8 million or 19%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and increased by $2.3 million or 20%, to $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These increases are primarily attributable to an increase in the number of policies in the renewal term from September 30, 2017 to 2018.

Revenue from Contingent Commissions in the Corporate Channel increased by $0.3 million, to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and increased by $0.6 million, or 68%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase between the three-month periods is due to the timing of the receipt of Contingent Commissions, as the Company received a contingency in the third quarter this year, that is typically received in the fourth quarter. The increase between the nine-month periods is primarily attributable to the increase in Total Written Premium from September 30, 2017 to 2018.

Revenue from Contingent Commissions in the Franchise Channel increased $0.3 million, or 536% to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $61 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017
