1. Organization

Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (“GSHD”) is the sole managing member of Goosehead Financial, LLC (“GF”) and 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
GF was organized on January 1, 2016 as a Delaware Limited Liability Company and is headquartered in Westlake, TX.
GSHD (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, 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 Company had 11 and 9 corporate-owned locations in operation at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Franchisees are provided access to insurance Carrier Appointments, product training, technology infrastructure, client service centers and back office services. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company onboarded 108 and 60 franchise locations, respectively, and had 1,072 and 730 operating franchise locations as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No franchises were purchased by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 positions at June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated results of operations, stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year. The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations of its revenue due to the timing of contingent commission revenue recognition and trends in housing market activity.
Impact of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Pandemic
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic impact may affect our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. The extent of the impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on various factors, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and its impact on home sales and consumer spending. To date, the pandemic has not increased our costs of or access to capital under our term note and revolving credit facility, and we do not believe it is reasonably likely to do so in the future. In addition, we do not believe that the pandemic will affect our ongoing ability to meet the covenants in our debt instruments, including under our term note and revolving credit facility. To date, the pandemic has not impacted the collectability of receivables or adversely affected our ability to generate new business, add new franchises, or retain existing franchises or policies. Due to the nature of our business, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.
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
11

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment.
Restricted Cash
The Company holds premiums received from the insured, but not yet remitted to the insurance Carrier in a fiduciary capacity. Premiums received but not yet remitted included in restricted cash were $1.6 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The following is a reconciliation of our cash and restricted cash balances as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash$36,526 $55,806 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform (ASU 2020-04): In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04. Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP if certain criteria are met to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 became effective on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. A substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on USD-LIBOR. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard will ease, if warranted, the administrative requirements for accounting for the future effects of the rate reform. We continue to monitor the impact the discontinuance of LIBOR will have on our contracts and other transactions.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12): In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance primarily addresses how to (1) recognize a deferred tax liability after we transition to or from the equity method of accounting, (2) evaluate if a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill is related to a business combination or is a separate transaction, (3) recognize all of the effects of a change in tax law in the period of enactment, including adjusting the estimated annual tax rate, and (4) include the amount of tax based on income in the income tax provision and any incremental amount as a tax not based on income for hybrid tax regimes. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

3. Revenue

Commissions and fees
The Company earns new and renewal commissions paid by insurance Carriers and fees paid by its clients for the binding of insurance coverage. The transactions price is set as the estimated commissions to be received over the term of the policy based on an estimate of premiums placed, policy changes and cancellations, net of a constraint.
12

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
These commissions and fees are earned at a point in time upon the effective date of bound insurance coverage, as no performance obligation exists after coverage is bound.
For Agency Fees, the Company enters into a contract with the insured, in which the Company's performance obligation is to place an insurance policy. The transaction price of the agency fee is set at the time the sale is agreed upon, and is included in the contract. Agency Fee revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is the effective date of the policy.
Contingent commission revenue is generated from contracts between the Company and insurance carriers, for which the Company is compensated for certain growth, profitability, or other performance-based metrics. The performance obligations for contingent commissions will vary by contract, but generally include the Company increasing profitable written premium with the insurance carrier. The transaction price for Contingent Commissions is estimated based on all available information and is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations, as the underlying policies are placed, net of a constraint.
Franchise revenues
Franchise revenues include initial franchise fees and ongoing new and renewal royalty fees from franchisees.

Revenue from Initial Franchise Fees is generated from a contract between the Company and a franchisee. The Company's performance obligation is to provide initial training, onboarding, ongoing support and use of the Company's business operations over the period of the franchise agreement. The transaction price is set by the franchise agreement and revenue is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations.
Revenue from New and Renewal Royalty Fees is recorded by applying the sales- and usage-based royalties exception. Under the sales- and usage-based exception,the Company estimates the anticipated amount of the royalties to be received over the term of the policy based on an estimate of premiums placed by the franchisee, policy changes, and cancellations, net of a constraint. Revenue from Royalty Fees is recognized over time as the placement of the underlying policies occur.
Contract costs
Additionally, the Company has evaluated ASC Topic 340 - Other Assets and Deferred Cost (“ASC 340”) which requires companies to defer certain incremental cost to obtain customer contracts, and certain costs to fulfill customer contracts.
Incremental cost to obtain - The adoption of ASC 340 resulted in the Company deferring certain costs to obtain customer contracts primarily as they relate to commission-based compensation plans in the Franchise Channel, in which the Company pays an incremental amount of compensation on new Franchise Agreements. These incremental costs are deferred and amortized over a 10-year period, which is consistent with the term of the contract.
Costs to fulfill - The Company has evaluated the need to capitalize costs to fulfill customer contracts and has determined that there are no costs that meet the definition for capitalization under ASC 340.

7. Debt
On March 6, 2020, the Company refinanced its $13.0 million revolving credit facility and $40.0 million term note payable to a $25.0 million revolving credit facility and $80.0 million term note payable to finance general corporate purposes. The Company also has the right, subject to approval by the administrative agent and each issuing bank,

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
to increase the commitments under the credit facilities an additional $50.0 million. As part of the refinancing, $0.2 million of debt issuance costs from previous debt were immediately recognized as interest expense.
The $25.0 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 June 30, 2021 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At June 30, 2021, the Company had $5.0 million drawn against the revolver and had a letter of credit of $0.3 million applied against the maximum borrowing availability, payable on March 6, 2023. Thus, amounts available to draw totaled $19.7 million. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions.
The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $0.5 million the first twelve months, $1.0 million the next twelve months and $2.0 million the last twelve months, with a balloon payment on March 6, 2023. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions. Interest is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 2.50%, then at an interest rate based on the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At June 30, 2021 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. On June 24, 2020 the Company drew down the remaining $37.9 million of the term loan. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $77.0 million of the term note drawn.
The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier are as follows:
Leverage RatioInterest Rate
< 1.50x
LIBOR + 175 bps
> 1.50x
LIBOR + 200 bps
> 2.50x
LIBOR + 225 bps
> 3.50x
LIBOR + 250 bps

Maturities of the term note payable for the next four years are as follows (in thousands):
Amount
20212,000 
20227,000 
202368,000 
Total$77,000 

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 June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Because of both instruments’ variable interest rate, the note payable balance at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.
18

Goosehead Insurance, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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.
8. 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.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $223 thousand and $(71) thousand compared to $(240) thousand and $(281) thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate was 7% and (4)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and (3)% and (4)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in exercises of employee stock options and decrease in pre-tax book income. The effective tax rate remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets at June 30, 2021 were $98.1 million compared to $73.4 million at December 31, 2020. The primary contributing factor to the increase in deferred tax assets is additional redemptions of LLC Units of GF for shares of Class A common stock of GSHD during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
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 GSHD 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, an aggregate of 728,000 and 861,300 LLC Units, respectively, were redeemed by the Pre-IPO LLC Members for newly issued shares of Class A common stock. In connection with these redemptions, GSHD received 728,000 and 861,300 LLC Units, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of its investment in GF subject to the provisions of the tax receivable agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the redemptions of LLC Units, after concluding it was probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on its estimates of future taxable income. As of June 30, 2021, the total amount of TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members under the tax receivable agreement was $82.2 million, of which $2.0 million was current and included in Accounts payables and accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Future exchanges of LLC Units for Class A common stock will result in additional TRA payments.

Uncertain tax positions
GSHD has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2021.
9. Stockholders' Equity
Class A Common Stock
GSHD has a total of 19,209 thousand shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at June 30, 2021. 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 17,586 thousand shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at June 30, 2021. 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 (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 (in thousands, except per share amounts). 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.

10. Non-controlling interest
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 to facilitate the LLC Unit holder's quarterly tax payments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, GF made no distributions to LLC Unit holders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, GF made distributions of $1.5 million and $3.3 million, of which $0.9 million and $1.9 million were made to Pre-IPO LLC Members. The remaining $0.7 million and $1.4 million 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.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, an aggregate of 728 thousand and 861 thousand LLC Units were redeemed by the non-controlling interest holders. Pursuant to the GF LLC Agreement, GSHD issued 728 thousand and 861 thousand shares of Class A common stock in connection with these redemptions and received 728 thousand and 861 thousand LLC Interests, increasing GSHD's ownership interest in GF. Simultaneously, and in connection with these redemptions, 728 thousand and 861 thousand shares of Class B common stock were surrendered and cancelled.
The following table summarizes the ownership interest in GF as of June 30, 2021 (in thousands):

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 was 48.9% and 49.5%, respectively.

11. Equity-Based Compensation
Stock option expense was $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Stock option expense was $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
On January 4, 2021, the Company granted an additional 153,500 stock options to its Board of Directors and Managing Directors at an exercise price equal to $131.87 per share. The weighted average grant date fair value of $47.43 per option was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following weighted average assumptions:
Expected volatility45 %
Expected dividend yield— %
Expected term (in years)4.25
Risk-free interest rate0.29 %

12. 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.

13. Litigation
From time to time, GSHD may be involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of the Company's business. The amount of any loss from the ultimate outcomes is not probable or reasonably estimable. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of outstanding claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

14. Subsequent Events
Credit agreement
On July 21, 2021, the Company refinanced its $25.0 million revolving credit facility and $80.0 million term note payable to a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and $100.0 million term note payable for general corporate purposes. The Company also 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 $50.0 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 July 28, 2021 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points. At July 28, 2021, the Company had not drawn against the revolver and had a letter of credit of $0.3 million applied against the maximum borrowing availability, payable on July 21, 2026. Thus, amounts available to draw totaled $49.7 million. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions.
The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $0.6 million the first six months, $1.3 million the next twelve months, $1.9 million the next twelve months, and $2.5 million for the last 24 months with a balloon payment on July 21, 2026. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions. Interest is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 2.50%, then at an interest rate based on the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At July 28, 2021 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points.
The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier are as follows:

Special Dividend

On July 28, 2021, GF approved an extraordinary dividend in the aggregate amount of $60.0 million payable to holders of LLC Units, including GSHD. The board of directors of the Company subsequently declared an extraordinary dividend of 1.63 (rounded) to all holders of Class A common stock of GSHD with a record date of August 9, 2021, to be paid on or before August 23, 2021. A summary of the total amounts declared by GF is as follows (in thousands):

Any future extraordinary dividends will be declared at the sole discretion of the Company as GF's managing member with respect to GF and the Company's board of directors with respect to the Company. In determining whether a future extraordinary dividend will be declared by the Company, the board of directors may, at its sole discretion, consider the following: the Company's financial condition and operating results, the Company's available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, the Company's capital requirements, any contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, general economic and business conditions, and such other factors or conditions as the board of directors deems relevant.

Novel coronavirus ("COVID-19")
An outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19, was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11,2020. This COVID-19 outbreak has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response to this outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions, including in the United States, have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time
29


outside of their homes. In the United States, temporary closures of businesses have been ordered and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company reduced workforce density at all corporate offices by requiring employees to work from home. Additionally, the Company indefinitely suspended all corporate travel, field support visits, in-person marketing efforts and in-person team meetings. Leveraging the Company's cloud based technology, video conferencing technology and importantly the Company's mortgage activity database to continue marketing efforts allowed operations to be largely uninterrupted. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company began bringing employees back to the office on a reduced and rotational basis. The Company will continue to consider all local government and CDC guidelines in reopening corporate offices.
Given the uncertainty regarding the spread and severity of COVID-19 and the adverse effects on the national and global economy, the related financial impact on our business cannot be accurately predicted at this time. We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from the authorities, including federal, state and local public health officials and as a result may take additional actions. While we intend to continue to execute on our strategic plans and operational initiatives during the outbreak, in these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan.
Certain income statement line items
Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenue increased by 28% to $38.2 million from $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue increased by 38% to $69.4 million from $50.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Total Written Premium growth, which is the best leading indicator of future revenue growth, was 46% to $399 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $274 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 47% to $718 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $488 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Total Written Premiums drive our current and future Core Revenue and gives us potential opportunities to earn Ancillary Revenue in the form of Contingent Commissions.
Our various revenue streams do not equally contribute to the long-term value of Goosehead. For instance, Renewal Revenue and Renewal Royalty Fees are more predictable and have higher margin profiles, thus are higher quality revenue streams for the Company. Alternatively, Contingent Commissions, while high margin, are unpredictable and dependent on insurance company underwriting and forces of nature and thus are lower quality revenue for the Company. Our revenue streams can be viewed in three distinct categories: Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue, which are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue to total revenue, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are set forth under "Key performance indicators".
Core Revenue:
Renewal Commissions - highly predictable, higher-margin revenue stream, which is managed by our service team.
Renewal Royalty Fees - highly predictable, higher-margin revenue stream, which is managed by our service team. For policies in their first renewal term, we see an increase in our share of royalties from 20% to 50% on the commission paid by the Carriers.
New Business Commissions - predictable based on agent headcount and consistent ramp-up of agents, but lower margin than Renewal Commissions because of higher commissions paid to agents and higher back-office costs associated with policies in their first term. This revenue stream has predictably converted into higher-margin Renewal Commissions historically, and we expect this to continue moving forward.
New Business Royalty Fees - predictable based on franchise count and consistent ramp-up of franchises, but lower margin than Renewal Royalty Fees because the Company only receives a royalty fee of 20% on the commissions paid by the Carrier in the first term of every policy and higher back-office costs associated with policies in their first term. This revenue stream has predictably converted into higher-margin Renewal Royalty Fees historically, and we expect this to continue moving forward.
Agency Fees - although predictable based on agent count, Agency Fees do not renew like New Business Commissions and Renewal Commissions.

30


Cost Recovery Revenue:
Initial Franchise Fees - one-time Cost Recovery Revenue stream per franchise unit that covers the Company's costs to recruit, train, onboard, and support the franchise for the first year. These fees are fully earned and non-refundable when a franchise attends our initial training.
Interest Income - like Initial Franchise Fees, interest income is a Cost Recovery Revenue stream that reimburses the Company for those franchises on a payment plan.

Ancillary Revenue:
Contingent Commissions - although high margin, Contingent Commissions are unpredictable and susceptible to weather events and Carrier underwriting results. Management does not rely on Contingent Commissions for operating cash flow or budget planning.
Other Income - book transfer fees, marketing investments from Carriers and other items that are unpredictable and supplemental to other revenue streams.

Revenue from Contingent Commissions decreased by $2.3 million, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue from Contingent Commissions decreased by $0.6 million, to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This change in Revenue from Contingent Commissions was primarily attributable to increases in loss ratio related to specific contingent commission programs coming off a historically low loss ratio year in 2020.

Revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees increased by $3.8 million, or 48%, to $11.7 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees increased by $7.1 million, or 54%, to $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of policies in the renewal term and an increase in client retention to 89% as of June 30, 2021 from 88% as of June 30, 2020.
Revenue from New Business Royalty Fees increased by $1.1 million, or 42%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue from New Business Royalty Fees increased by $2.2 million, or 47%, to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue from New Business Royalty Fees was primarily attributable to a 47% increase in the total number of operating franchises to 1,072 at June 30, 2021, from 730 at June 30, 2020.
Revenues from Initial Franchise Fees increased by $0.6 million or 62% to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue from Initial Franchise Fees increased by $1.0 million, or 54%, to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary reason for this increase is an increase of 59% in total franchises to 1,801 at June 30, 2021, from 1,132 at June 30, 2020.
Interest income
Interest income increased by $87 thousand, or 45%, to $279 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $192 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Interest income increased by $179 thousand, or 50%, to $540 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $361 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to additional Franchise Agreements signed under the payment plan option.
Expenses
Employee compensation and benefits
Employee compensation and benefits expenses increased by $6.6 million, or 41%, to $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Employee compensation and benefits expenses increased by $14.4 million, or 49%, to $43.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is caused by a 40% increase in total headcount from 2020 to 2021.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $4.8 million, or 89%, to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. General and administrative expenses increased by $8.2 million, or 73%, to $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $11.2 million for the
34


six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with an increase in operating franchises, total employees, opening of three new corporate office locations, and investments made in technology.
Bad debts
Bad debts increased by $327 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $646 thousand from $319 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Bad debts increased by $465 thousand, or 74%, to $1,093 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $628 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in bad debts is attributable to an increase in total franchises and an increase in revenue from Agency fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.4 million, or 59%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.9 million, or 70%, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in fixed assets since June 30, 2020, including the opening of three additional corporate sales offices, expansion of existing corporate offices and hardware for additional employees hired.
Interest expense
Interest expenses remained flat at $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Interest expenses remained flat at $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Key performance indicators
Our key operating metrics are discussed below:
Total Written Premium
Total Written Premium represents for any reported period, the total amount of current (non-cancelled) gross premium that is placed with Goosehead’s portfolio of Carriers. Total Written Premium placed is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it reflects growth of our business relative to other insurance agencies.
The following tables show Total Written Premium placed by channel for the three and six months ended and 2021 and 2020 (in thousands).
  Three Months Ended June 30,% Change
  20212020
Corporate Channel Total Written Premium$112,457 $82,675 36 %

Franchise Channel Total Written Premium516,412 339,030 52 %
Total Written Premium$717,815 $487,830 47 %

Policies in Force
Policies in Force means as of any reported date, the total count of current (non-cancelled) policies placed with Goosehead’s portfolio of Carriers. We believe that Policies in Force is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it reflects growth of our business relative to other insurance agencies.
As of June 30, 2021, we had 872,000 in Policies in Force compared to 713,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 590,000 as of June 30, 2020, representing a 22% and 48% increase, respectively.
35


NPS
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is calculated based on a single question: “How likely are you to refer Goosehead Insurance to a friend, family member or colleague?” Clients that respond with a 6 or below are Detractors, a
score of 7 or 8 are called Passives, and a 9 or 10 are Promoters. NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. For example, if 50% of respondents were Promoters and 10% were Detractors, NPS is a 40. NPS is a useful gauge of the loyalty of client relationships and can be compared across companies and industries.
NPS has remained steady at 92 as of June 30, 2021 due to the service team’s continued focus on delivering highly differentiated service levels.
Client retention
Client Retention is 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. We believe Client Retention is useful as a measure of how well Goosehead retains clients year-over-year and minimizes defections.
Client Retention has increased to 89% at June 30, 2021 from 88% as of December 31, 2020, again driven by the service team’s continued focus on delivering highly differentiated service levels. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2021, we retained 90% of the premiums we distributed in the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020, which increased modestly from the 89% premium retention at December 31, 2020. Our premium retention rate is higher than our Client Retention rate as a result of both premiums increasing year over year and additional coverages sold by our sales and service teams.
New Business Revenue
New Business Revenue is commissions received from the Carrier, Agency Fees received from clients, and New Business Royalty Fees relating to policies in their first term.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, New Business Revenue grew 40% to $12.7 million, from $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, New Business Revenue grew 42% to $22.9 million, from $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Growth in New Business Revenue is driven by an increase in Corporate Channel sales agent headcount of 43% and growth in operating franchises in the Franchise Channel of 47%.
Renewal Revenue
Renewal Revenue is commissions received from the Carrier and Renewal Royalty Fees received after the first term of a policy.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Renewal Revenue grew 41% to $22.0 million, from $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Renewal Revenue grew 44% to $38.5 million, from $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Growth in Renewal Revenue was driven by Client Retention of 89% at June 30, 2021. As our agent force matures on both the Corporate Channel and the Franchise Channel, the policies they wrote in prior years begins to convert from New Business Revenue to more profitable Renewal Revenue.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income or earnings per share, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We refer to these measures as "non-GAAP financial measures." We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax position, depreciation, amortization and certain other items that we believe are not representative of our core business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as substitutes for net income, earnings per share or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
36


Core Revenue
Core Revenue is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Renewal Commissions, Renewal Royalty Fees, New Business Commissions, New Business Royalty Fees, and Agency Fees. We believe that Core Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes all of our revenues from sales of individual insurance policies.
Core Revenue increased by $10.0 million, or 40%, to $34.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Core Revenue increased by $18.5 million, or 43%, to $61.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $42.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary drivers of the increase are increases in operating franchises, corporate agent sales headcount, the number of policies in the renewal term from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, plus an increase in client retention to 89% as of June 30, 2021 from 88% as of June 30, 2020.
Cost Recovery Revenue
Cost Recovery Revenue is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Initial Franchise Fees and Interest Income. We believe that Cost Recovery Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are viewed by management as cost recovery mechanisms.
Cost Recovery Revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 59%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Cost Recovery Revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 53%, to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary driver of the increase is an increase in total franchises from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
Ancillary Revenue
Ancillary Revenue is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Contingent Commissions and Other Income. We believe that Ancillary Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are ancillary to our core business.
Ancillary Revenue decreased by $2.4 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Ancillary Revenue decreased by $0.6 million to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in Ancillary Revenue is primarily due to increases in loss ratio related to specific contingent commission programs coming off historically low loss ratios in 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) 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 decreased by $3.0 million, or 31%, to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2.1 million, or 19%, to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary driver of the decrease is increases in General and Administrative expenses driven by increases in corporate agent headcount, operating franchises, investments in technology, as well as decreases in revenue from Contingent Commissions.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as defined above, divided by total revenue excluding other non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 18% compared to 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 13% compared to 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary driver of the decrease is increases in
37


General and Administrative expenses driven by increases in corporate agent headcount, operating franchises, investments in technology, as well as decreases in revenue from Contingent Commissions.
Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is a supplemental measure of our performance, defined as earnings per share (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before non-recurring or non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EPS is a useful measure to management because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance.

Liquidity and capital resources
Liquidity and capital resources
We have managed our historical liquidity and capital requirements primarily through the receipt of revenues from our Corporate Channel and our Franchise Channel. Our primary cash flow activities involve: (1) generating cash flow from Corporate Channel operations, which largely includes New Business Revenue (Corporate) and Renewal Revenue (Corporate); (2) generating cash flow from Franchise Channel operations, which largely includes Initial Franchise Fees and Royalty Fees; (3) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under our credit agreement; and (4) issuing shares of Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $35.0 million. We have used cash flow from operations primarily to pay compensation and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses, debt service and distributions to our owners.
Credit agreement
See "Note 7. Debt" in the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of the Company's credit facilities.

Comparative cash flows

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase in net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to a decrease in commissions and agency fees receivables of $13.0 million.
39


Investing activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was driven by continued expansion of corporate offices to support increased hiring.
Financing activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease in net cash used for financing activities was attributable to the refinance of the Company's term loan and revolving credit facility in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Future sources and uses of liquidity
Our sources of liquidity are (1) cash on hand, (2) net working capital, (3) cash flows from operations and (4) our revolving credit facility. Based on our current expectations, we believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and to meet our commitments in the foreseeable future.
We expect that our primary liquidity needs will comprise cash to (1) provide capital to facilitate the organic growth of our business, (2) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees, (3) make payments under the tax receivable agreement, (4) pay interest and principal due on borrowings under our Credit Agreement (5) pay income taxes, and (6) when deemed advisable by our board of directors, pay dividends.
Dividend policy
There have been no material changes to our dividend policy as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Tax receivable agreement
We entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members on May 1, 2018 that provides for the payment by us 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 we actually realize as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in Goosehead Insurance, Inc.’s assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement. See "Item 13. Certain relationships and related transactions, and director independence" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Holders of Goosehead Financial, LLC Units (other than Goosehead Insurance, Inc.) may, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions described above, redeem or exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. on a one-for-one basis. Goosehead Financial, LLC 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 for shares of Class A common stock occurs, which is expected to result in increases to the tax basis of the assets of Goosehead Financial, LLC at the time of a redemption or exchange of LLC Units. The redemptions or exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Goosehead Financial, LLC. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Goosehead Insurance, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members that provides for the payment by us 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 we actually realize as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in Goosehead Insurance, Inc.’s assets resulting from (a) the purchase of LLC Units from any of the Pre-IPO LLC Members using the net proceeds from any future offering, (b) redemptions or exchanges by the Pre-IPO LLC Members of LLC Units for shares of our Class A common stock or (c) payments under the tax receivable agreement and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement. This payment obligation is an obligation of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. and not of Goosehead Financial, LLC. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the cash tax savings in income tax will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Goosehead Insurance, Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of Goosehead Financial, LLC as a result of the redemptions or exchanges and had Goosehead Insurance, Inc. not entered into the tax receivable agreement. Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the tax receivable agreement is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. While the actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the tax receivable agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges, the price of shares of our Class A common stock at the
40


time of the redemption or exchange, the extent to which such redemptions or exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income. See "Item 13. Certain relationships and related transactions, and director independence" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We anticipate that we will account for the effects of these increases in tax basis and associated payments under the tax receivable agreement arising from future redemptions or exchanges as follows:
we will record an increase in deferred tax assets for the estimated income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state tax rates at the date of the redemption or exchange;
to the extent we estimate that we will not realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset, based on an analysis that will consider, among other things, our expectation of future earnings, we will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance; and
we will record 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefit (which is the recorded deferred tax asset less any recorded valuation allowance) as an increase to the liability due under the tax receivable agreement and the remaining 15% of the estimated realizable tax benefit as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
All of the effects of changes in any of our estimates after the date of the redemption or exchange will be included in net income. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements except for those described under “Contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies” above.

Critical accounting policies
Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Variances in the estimates or assumptions used to actual experience could yield materially different accounting results. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the continued appropriateness of our accounting policies and resulting estimates to make adjustments we consider appropriate

under the facts and circumstances. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent accounting pronouncements
See "Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks as described in "Item 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosure of market risks" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
