Company Exceeds Q2 Guidance and Increases Full Year 2021 Revenue Guidance to $184 Million, Representing Approximately 155% Year-over-Year Growth
Via Acquisition, Porch now a Leading Provider of Software for Title Companies
SEATTLE, Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: PRCH), a leading vertical software and InsurTech company reinventing the home services industry, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
“Our excellent second quarter results showcased our ability to significantly grow our business and expand our vertical software platform into adjacent home service industries,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Founder, Chairman and CEO. “We have demonstrated consistent execution of our strategy that is driving strong growth for shareholders, and we have raised our full year revenue outlook reflecting the continued confidence in our go-forward strategy. For the quarter, our total revenue increased by 200% compared to the same period last year and we are thrilled to welcome the Homeowners of America team into the Porch Group family following the acquisition’s close in April. We continue to execute well on our M&A pipeline, as evidenced by our Q2 acquisition of Rynoh, a leading provider of software for title companies. Our business continues to perform well across each of our areas of focus, with insurance at the core where we can leverage our unique customer acquisition and property data advantages. We have generated strong momentum into the back half of the year and are focused on continuing to execute across our business to benefit all our stakeholders. I want to credit and thank our incredible team that continues to drive us ahead and establish Porch as the leader for the home services industry.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $51.3 million, an increase of 200% from $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. When adjusting for past divestitures by the Company, year-over-year growth was 235%, up from $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 pro forma. The increase in total revenue was driven by selling software to more companies and by significantly increasing both the B2B SaaS fees and transaction revenue generated per company, in large part driven by rapid growth in Porch’s InsurTech division.
Revenue less cost of revenue for the second quarter 2021 was 62% and contribution margin was 33%. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $16.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP metric, for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $10.3 million (or -20% of total revenue). Weather-related insurance claims costs contributed approximately $4 million of additional cost of revenue as compared to historical Q2 periods with average weather.
As of June 30, 2021, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $152.4 million.
Second Quarter 2021 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Software and services to companies:
- Average number of companies increased to 17,120, up 63% year-over-year. Rynoh contributed 1,099 companies to Porch’s total Q2 company count.
- Average revenue per company per month increased to $999.70, up 80% year-over-year.
Monetized services for consumers:
- Number of monetized services was 302,462 in Q2 2021, up approximately 66% year-over-year.
- Average revenue per monetized service was $129, up 50% year-over-year.
Q2 Acquisitions
As previously disclosed, in April 2021, Porch closed its acquisition of Homeowners of America, going deeper into insurance by adding a full stack carrier and managing general agent. Additionally, in Q2, Porch acquired Rynoh, a leading provider of patented SaaS solutions for title companies and other settlement agents. Located in Virginia, Rynoh applications help protect real estate closings by providing continuous end-to-end account auditing, daily reconciliation, transaction monitoring, fraud detection and reporting. Porch expects Rynoh to generate $8 million in revenue for the full year 2021, with $4 million of that accruing to Porch’s 2021 year post-close. Rynoh contributed $1.3 million to Porch in the second quarter of 2021. Rynoh operates with similar gross margin and contribution margins as Porch and is expected to operate largely at breakeven Adjusted EBITDA in the near-term as it invests in growth. Porch acquired Rynoh for $31.5 million cash at closing, with $3.5 million due in April 2023.
Business Overview

- Since inception, the company has monitored over 16.5 million closings in the US worth more than $5 trillion
Full Year 2021 Financial Outlook
Porch provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.
For the full year of 2021, Porch increased its revenue outlook from $178 million to $184 million, representing approximately 155% year-over-year revenue growth. The vast majority of Porch’s revenue is recurring, with the company continuing to expect approximately 90% of 2021 revenues from its vertical software solutions (25% from B2B software and service subscription fees and approximately 65% from corresponding move-related transaction revenues which includes insurance), and approximately 10% of revenues from post-move services. The Company reiterated full-year 2021 guidance for revenue less cost of revenue of approximately 72%, contribution margin of approximately 40%, and tightened its Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance range to -13% to -16%.
Porch is not providing reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA margin or contribution margin for future periods to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP because Porch is unable to provide these reconciliations without unreasonable effort because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of Porch’s control. In particular, the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures are subject to high variability and complexity due to Porch’s ongoing growth.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Porch’s future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future revenue, contribution margin, Adjusted EBITDA and other metrics, business strategy and plans, and anticipated impacts from pending or completed acquisitions, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Porch and its management at the time they are made, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of Porch’s December 2020 business combination (the “Merger”) with PropTech Acquisition Corporation (“PropTech”), which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain key commercial relationships and retain its management and key employees; (2) expansion plans and opportunities, including future and pending acquisitions or additional business combinations; (3) costs related to the Merger and being a public company; (4) litigation, complaints, and/or adverse publicity; (5) the impact of changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences, local, regional and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; (6) privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data; (7) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the business and financial conditions of Porch; and (8) other risks and uncertainties described in Porch’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K/A and subsequent reports such as Porch’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Nothing in this release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the forward-looking statements in this release do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that have not been completed as of the date of this release. Porch does not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changed circumstances, new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and contribution margin, has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Porch defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, net, income taxes, other expenses, net, depreciation and amortization, certain non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related impacts, including compensation to the sellers that requires future service, amortization of intangible assets, gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements, if any, gain or loss on divestures and certain transaction costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Contribution margin is defined as revenue less all variable expenses, including cost of revenue, market, and sales. See the reconciliation table below for more details regarding these non-GAAP measurements, including the reconciliation of historical non-GAAP figures to the nearest comparable GAAP measure.
Porch uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Porch’s performance to that of prior periods for budgeting and planning purposes. Porch believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Porch’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Porch's method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and Porch does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. You should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
You should review the following reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Porch’s business:
