Key Operating and Financial Metrics

Third Quarter Operating Summary 

Net income of $98 million, or $3.77 per diluted share, compared to a $9 million net loss in Q3 of last year. The drivers of this improvement included a $91 million net gain on the sale of the homebuilder distribution network  and improved underwriting results. 

Adjusted net income of $18 million, or $0.70 a diluted share, compared to a $1 million net adjusted loss in Q3 of last year. This quarter's results equate to a 19% annualized adjusted return on average shareholders equity.

Total Hippo shareholder equity of $422 million, or $16.64 per share, at September 30, 2025, was up 14%, from $362 million, or $14.56 per share, at year-end 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the previously referenced gain on sale of our homebuilder distribution network, which more than off-set the first quarter operating losses stemming from the California wildfires and the 514,000 shares repurchased for approximately $15 million.

As outlined at the June Investor Day, the financial reporting presentation has been updated, moving from a segment basis to a consolidated basis focused on lines of business including Homeowners, Renters, Commercial Multi-peril (CMP), Casualty, and Other. This change reflects both how Hippo is managed and the company's structure following the sales of First Connect in 4Q24 and our homebuilder distribution network in 3Q25. For reference, the pro-forma prior six quarters presented in the updated reporting basis can be found on the investor relations section of our website.  

Gross written premium of $311 million for the quarter grew 33% year over year, up from $234 million in Q3 of last year. Growth was driven by both the Casualty and CMP lines which were up 137% and 123% over last year, to $76 million and $66 million, respectively. This expansion more than off-set a 9%, or $10 million, reduction in the Homeowners line year over year. The overall growth strategy is focused on underwriting profitability and reduced volatility, which includes increased portfolio diversification. For the quarter, Homeowners, the largest line on a gross written basis, accounted for 32% of the total, down from 47% in the prior year quarter.

Net written premium of $118 million grew by $27 million or 30% from Q3 of last year. The main driver of this growth was the Renters line, which grew by $18 million year over year. The 38% net retention rate in the quarter was largely in-line with the prior year period, and slightly below the longer term goal of 40-45%, as we continue to be selective in our risk retention with a focus on generating stable underwriting profitability.

Revenue in quarter $121 million grew 26% from $96 million in Q3 of last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher net earned premium up 41% to $100 million, which more than off-set a $5 million reduction in commissions following the sales of First Connect and our homebuilder distribution network  over the last year.

Net Loss ratio of 48% improved 25 percentage points over the prior year. This improvement was driven primarily by the lack of meaningful CAT losses this quarter compared to Q3 of last year. The net accident year loss ratio excluding CAT losses of 48% was improved by over 3 percentage points over Q3 of last year by previous underwriting and rate actions earning through and the overall increased diversification across the portfolio. The long-term net loss ratio target is 60-65%.

Combined ratio of 100% improved 28 percentage points over the prior year, similarly benefitting from improved underwriting results including a 3% improvement to the expense ratio.

Information about Key Operating Metrics/Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define adjusted net income, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as net income excluding the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook, net of tax impact. We calculate the tax impact only on adjustments which would be included in calculating our income tax expense using the estimated tax rate at which the company received a deduction for these adjustments. We use adjusted net income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and financial statement users useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted net income does not reflect the overall profitably of our business and should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define adjusted net income differently.

We define diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period, reflecting the dilution which could occur if equity-based awards are converted into common share equivalents as calculated using the treasury stock method. Diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share should not be viewed as a substitute for diluted earnings (loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share differently.

We define annualized adjusted return on equity, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as adjusted net income (loss) expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending Hippo stockholders' equity during the period. We use annualized adjusted return on equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and financial statement users useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Annualized adjusted return on equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define annualized adjusted return on equity differently.

We define tangible book value per share, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as total stockholders' equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Our definition of tangible book value per share may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for book value per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible book value per share internally to evaluate changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

These Non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterpart is included above. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Hippo.
