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 12 and 15 corporate-owned locations in operation at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Franchisees are provided access to Carrier Appointments, product training, technology infrastructure, client service centers and back office services. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company onboarded 72 and 141 franchise locations, respectively, and had 1,344 and 1,344 operating franchise locations as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No franchises were purchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated results of operations, stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.
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.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and reflect amounts paid for the Company’s web domain, computer software costs, and purchased books of business (customer accounts). The web domain is amortized over a useful life of fifteen years, computer software costs are amortized over a useful life of three years, and books of business (customer accounts) are amortized over a useful life of eight years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased books of business (customer accounts) totaling $6.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Asset Impairment
The Company reviews all of its identifiable assets for impairment periodically and whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing identifiable assets, if the undiscounted future cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the respective assets, an indicator of impairment would exist, and further analysis would be required to determine whether or not a loss would need to be charged against current period earnings as a component of general and administrative expenses.
Based on a review of intangible assets during the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified a group of internally-developed software assets that had not been placed into service and would not be completed. As a result, the Company determined the assets had no fair value and recorded an impairment expense of $1.1 million related to the asset group.
Based on a review of tangible assets during the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified two office leases that will be subleased and completed a recoverability assessment for assets at those locations. Based on the results of the recoverability assessment, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows of the assets were below their carrying values. As a result, the Company compared the fair values of the assets to their carrying values and recorded an impairment expense of $1.4 million of property and equipment and $1.1 million of right-of-use asset for the amount the carrying values exceeded the fair values. The Company determined the fair values by estimating sublease cash flows based on market rates for similar properties and discounted them using the Company's internal borrowing rate.
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 Carrier, in a fiduciary capacity. Premiums received but not yet remitted included in restricted cash were $1.8 million and $2.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Recently adopted 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 is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, ASU 2022-06 extended the effective period through December 31, 2024. 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. Our debt agreement contains a provision to move to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") if or when LIBOR is phased out. On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment No.1 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement executing the provision to move to SOFR from LIBOR. Under the allowable expedients, a modification of a debt contract that is only a replacement of the reference rate is accounted for as a non-substantial modification.

The transaction 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. 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 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 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
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 for the franchise sales team, 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.

The Company records Franchise Fees as contract liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when the agreement is executed. Contract liabilities are reduced as fees are recognized in revenue over the expected life of the franchise license. As the term of the franchise license is typically ten years, substantially all of the franchise fee revenue recognized in the period ended June 30, 2023 was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022.

The weighted average remaining amortization period for contract liabilities related to open franchises is 7.5 years.

7. Debt
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 in order to obtain a more favorable interest rate on the outstanding debt. 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 by an additional $25.0 million.
On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 ("Amendment") of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which provided that LIBOR should be replaced with SOFR.
The $50.0 million revolving credit facility accrues interest on amounts drawn at an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points, then at an interest rate determined by the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At June 30, 2023 the Company was accruing interest at SOFR plus 200 basis points. At June 30, 2023, the Company had nothing drawn against the revolving credit facility and had a letter of credit of $0.2 million applied against the maximum borrowing availability, payable on July 21, 2026. Thus, amounts available to draw totaled $49.8 million. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions and royalties.
The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $0.6 million the first twelve months, $1.3 million the next twelve months, $1.9 million the next twelve months, and $2.5 million the last twenty-four months, with a balloon payment of $65.6 million on July 21, 2026. On May 31, 2023, the Company paid an additional $10.0 million toward the term note, reducing the final balloon payment to $55.6 million. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions and royalties. Interest is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 225 basis points, then at an interest rate based on the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At June 30, 2023 the Company was accruing interest at SOFR plus 200 basis points.
The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier is as follows:
Leverage RatioInterest Rate
< 1.50x
SOFR + 175 bps

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. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's maximum allowable trailing twelve months debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit agreement, was 4x. 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, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Because of both instruments’ variable interest rate, the note payable balance at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.
8. Income Taxes
GSHD is 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 expense from income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.3 million and $2.2 million compared to $2.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate was 24% and 24% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 48% and (23)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in exercises of employee stock options. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income between periods.

Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets at June 30, 2023 were $164.5 million compared to $155.3 million at December 31, 2022. 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, 2023.
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, 2023, an aggregate of 351,972 and 675,457 LLC Units were redeemed by the Pre-IPO LLC Members for newly issued shares of Class A common stock. In connection with these redemptions, GSHD received 351,972 and 675,457 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, 2023, the total amount of TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members under the tax receivable agreement was $134.2 million, of which $0.5 million was current and included in Accounts payables and accrued expenses on the Condensed 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, 2023.
9. Stockholders' Equity
Class A Common Stock
GSHD has a total of 23,900 thousand shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at June 30, 2023. 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 13,795 thousand shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at June 30, 2023. 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, 2023 and 2022, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 (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.

10. Non-controlling interest
GSHD is 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.
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, 2023, GF made a distribution of $12.6 million, of which $5.2 million was made to Pre-IPO LLC Members. The remaining $7.4 million was made to GSHD and was 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, 2023, an aggregate of 352 thousand and 675 thousand LLC Units were redeemed by the non-controlling interest holders. Pursuant to the GF LLC Agreement, GSHD issued 352 thousand and 675 thousand shares of Class A common stock in connection with these redemptions and received 352 thousand and 675 thousand LLC Interests, increasing GSHD's ownership interest in GF. Simultaneously, and in connection with these redemptions, 352 thousand and 675 thousand shares of Class B common stock were surrendered and cancelled.

12. 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.

Certain income statement line items
Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenue increased by 31% to $69.3 million from $53.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue increased by 35% to $127.2 million from $94.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Total Written Premium growth, which we believe is the best leading indicator of future revenue, increased 36% to $767 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $566 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Total Written Premium growth increased 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $1,405 million from $1,017 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Total Written Premiums drive our current and future Core Revenue and give 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 measure 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.

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 Franchise Revenues - book transfer fees, marketing investments from Carriers and other items that are unpredictable and supplemental to other revenue streams.

Renewal Commissions increased by $4.0 million or 28%, to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Renewal Commissions increased by $9.6 million or 39%, to $34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of policies in the renewal term from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023 and premium rate increases, offset by a slight decline in client retention to 88% as of June 30, 2023 from 89% as of June 30, 2022.
New Business Commissions decreased by $0.5 million, or 7%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. New Business Commissions decreased by $0.3 million or 3%, to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in New Business Commissions was primarily driven by decrease in number of Corporate Sales agents during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue from Agency Fees decreased by $0.7 million or 23% to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from Agency Fees decreased by $1.1 million or 19%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in Agency Fees was primarily attributable to a decrease in the percentage of policies written where an Agency Fee was charged.
Revenue from Contingent Commissions increased by $2.1 million, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from Contingent Commissions increased by $2.2 million, to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in Total Written Premium.

Franchise revenues
Franchise Revenues consist of Royalty Fees, Initial Franchise Fees, and Other Franchise Revenues.

Revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees increased by $8.7 million, or 46%, to $27.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees increased by $17.4 million, or 53%, to $50.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenue from Renewal Royalty Fees was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of policies in the renewal term and offset by a slight decline in client retention to 88% as of June 30, 2023 from 89% as of June 30, 2022.
Revenue from New Business Royalty Fees increased by $1.4 million, or 30%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from New Business Royalty Fees increased by $2.8 million, or 31%, to $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenue from New Business Royalty Fees was primarily attributable to an increase in total franchise producers and rising premium rates.
Revenue from Initial Franchise Fees increased by $0.7 million, or 27%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from Initial Franchise Fees increased by $1.5 million, or 30%, to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The primary reason for this increase is higher turnover of franchises during the year, which accelerates recognition of Initial Franchise Fees for terminated franchises.
Interest income
Interest income increased by $0.1 million, or 26%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income increased by $0.2 million, or 25%, to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. 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 $5.8 million, or 18%, to $37.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $31.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Employee compensation and benefits expenses increased by $11.2 million, or 18%, to $74.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $63.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The 18% increase was primarily related to an increase in equity-based compensation of 14% related to stock option awards during the year.
27


General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 40%, to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. General and administrative expenses increased by $7.3 million, or 28%, to $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $25.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to $3.6 million asset impairment charges related to internally developed software and impairment of two office locations the Company determined to sublease.
Bad debts
Bad debts decreased by $0.8 million, or 46%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in franchise turnover during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Bad debts increased by $0.1 million, or 4%, to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher franchise turnover during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.7 million, or 43%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.2 million, or 38%, to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in fixed assets since June 30, 2022, including the expansion of existing corporate offices and computer equipment for additional employees hired.
Interest expense
Interest expenses increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to $1.7 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expenses increased by $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $3.4 million from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The primary driver of this increase was the rising interest rate environment, partially offset by a decrease in total borrowings outstanding.

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 corporate agents and franchisees for the three and six months ended 2023 and 2022 (in thousands).

Total Written Premium$1,404,963 $1,016,873 38 %

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, 2023, we had 1.4 million Policies in Force compared to 1.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and 1.2 million as of June 30, 2022, representing an 11% and 21% increase, respectively.
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 increased to 91 as of June 30, 2023, from 90 as of June 30, 2022.
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 remained constant at 88% at June 30, 2023 when compared to 88% at December 31, 2022. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2023, we retained 103% of the premiums we distributed in the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022, which increased from the 100% premium retention at December 31, 2022. 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, 2023, New Business Revenue grew 2% to $14.9 million, from $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, New Business Revenue grew 5% to $28.3 million, from $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Growth in New Business Revenue is primarily driven by growth in agent productivity and rising premium rates.
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, 2023, Renewal Revenue grew 38% to $46.1 million, from $33.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Renewal Revenue grew 47% to $84.7 million, from $57.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Growth in Renewal Revenue was primarily driven by Client Retention of 88% at June 30, 2023, and rising premium rates. As our agent force matures, the policies they wrote in prior years begins to convert from New Business Revenue to more profitable Renewal Revenue.
Non-GAAP Measures
Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for total revenue, net income, net income margin 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
29


our core business. Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as substitutes for total revenue, net income, earnings per share, as applicable, or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, Ancillary Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
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 $12.9 million, or 27%, to $61.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $48.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Core Revenue increased by $28.4 million, or 34%, to $113.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $84.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The primary drivers of the increase were the higher number of policies in the renewal term from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023 as well as premium retention of 103% as of June 30, 2023.
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 $0.8 million, or 27%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Cost Recovery Revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 29%, to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The primary driver of the increase was an increase in terminations of franchises, which accelerates recognition of initial franchise fee revenue.
Ancillary Revenue
Ancillary Revenue is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Contingent Commissions and Other Franchise Revenues. 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 increased by $2.5 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Ancillary Revenue increased by $2.9 million to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
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, impairment expense, 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 increased by $10.6 million, or 85%, to $23.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $19.5 million, or 142%, to $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The primary drivers of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA were growing higher margin Renewal Revenue, decreases in Corporate agent headcount, and slower growth in General and Administrative expenses.
30


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, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 33% compared to 24% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 26% compared to 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The primary drivers of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA Margin were growing higher margin Renewal Revenue, decreases in Corporate agent headcount, and slower growth in General and Administrative expenses.
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. Our primary cash flow activities involve: (1) generating cash flow from Commissions and Fees, which largely includes New Business Revenue, Renewal Revenue, and Agency Fees; (2) generating cash flow from Franchise Revenues 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, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $19.1 million. We have used cash flow from operations primarily to pay compensation and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses, debt service, special dividends 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.

Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, end of period$20,921 $33,548 $(12,627)
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in net income of $10.0 million, a decrease in receivables from franchisees of $6.1 million, partially offset by a decrease of $14.1 million in contract liabilities.
Investing activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net cash used for investing activities of $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by $5.3 million in cash paid for purchases of books of business partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in the purchase of property and equipment.
Financing activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to net cash used for financing activities of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in net cash used for financing activities was primarily driven by an additional $10.0 million payment of notes payable and a $5.2 million member distribution.
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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

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 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. During the period ended June 30, 2023, we adjusted the techniques we use for estimating revenues, which had an insignificant effect on reported financial results. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

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, 2023. 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, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
