Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 3 Q3’23:  POSITIONED FOR PROFITABILITY Dear Shareholders, Q3’23 was Hippo’s best quarter yet. The most predictable and profitable parts of Hippo, Services and Insurance-as-a-Service (IaaS) segments continued to drive our growth and now represent 65% of our premium-in-force, up from 52% a year ago. The actions we are taking in our homeowners insurance business to lower its volatility and improve its profitability are working. Our Q3’23 adjusted EBITDA loss was Hippo’s smallest as a public company and we are on pace to turn positive earlier than previously projected. After a challenging first half of 2023 for the US homeowners' insurance industry, Hippo has taken bold steps to position itself for future growth and profitability. In August, we temporarily paused the underwriting of most new business. We’re assessing our underwriting and risk appetite and only writing new business when we’re very confident in expected profitability and reduced volatility. For much of our renewal book, we’re raising rates, increasing deductibles and when necessary, non-renewing select policies. While we expect to see a decline in Hippo Homeowners Insurance Program's (HHIP) Total Generated Premium (TGP) in 2024, we expect that to be driven by a disproportionate decline in exposure and volatility and a significant improvement in underwriting profitability. We’ve already begun to see the benefit of actions taken in 2022 and early 2023 to improve our loss ratio, and we expect significant additional improvement to come. Our consolidated gross loss ratio in the quarter was 59%, a 51 percentage point improvement over the prior year quarter. And our net loss ratio improved even more significantly year over year, declining 112 percentage points to 111%. HHIP’s core gross loss ratio in the quarter, which excludes prior year reserve movements and PCS cats improved 13 percentage points to 69%, down from 82% in the prior year quarter. We had another outstanding quarter in our IaaS segment with positive adjusted operating income of $4 million and exceptional TGP growth of 72%. In a market with heightened concerns about credit risk exposure, Spinnaker continues to demonstrate strong risk management capabilities and underwriting controls while driving profitable growth. In our fee-based Services segment, the success of our builder agency business is providing


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 4 a repeatable playbook for our entire Agency business. As HHIP’s risk appetite narrowed, our builder agency successfully placed business with third party carriers to keep the premium retention rate for the agency channel at 97% in the quarter. At First Connect, agency appointments are up 3X and we saw growth of more than 180% in our non-Hippo new business versus the prior year. As we have focused our underwriting footprint and intensified our emphasis on expense control, we are announcing a significant expense reduction initiative which we expect to take $50-$70 million out of our cost structure in 2024. We expect these savings, coupled with further loss ratio improvement and growth in our IaaS and Services segments, to result in positive adjusted EBITDA before year-end 2024, turning positive earlier than we previously projected. Finally, I extend our condolences to the many Israeli members of our Hippo family and our friends and partners impacted by the horrible events over the past several weeks. Thank you, Rick Richard McCathron President & CEO


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 5 Q3 RESULTS Q3 Highlights Q3 FINANCIALS: KPIS, SEGMENT INFORMATION, AND NON-GAAP FINANCIALS Our Q3‘23 adjusted EBITDA loss of $38 million was our best yet as a public company and we expect even stronger results in the coming periods. These anticipated improvements will be driven by continued improvements to the HHIP loss ratio, significant operating expense savings, growth in our IaaS segment, which is already profitable, and growth in our Services business, which is closer to turning adjusted operating income positive in 2024. We now expect to be reporting positive adjusted EBITDA earlier than the end of 2024 while affirming our expectation of minimum cash and investments of at least $350 million.

TGP was up 38% to $304 million, driven primarily by our most profitable and most predictable segments, which now represent a significant majority of our total business. Revenue was up 88% over the prior year to $58 million primarily driven by growth in premiums earned and organic growth in both our IaaS and Services segments. Additionally, revenue has benefitted from an increase in investment income to $6 million from $3 million in the year- ago quarter as we have taken advantage of more attractive yields. Segment Information


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 7 We will continue to push for growth in our profitable IaaS segment and view growth as an important lever to driving positive adjusted operating income in our Services segment. Our narrower risk appetite and focus on lowering our exposure to weather will result in lower TGP and disproportionately lower exposure and volatility in the HHIP segment in 2024. We’ve made great progress on operating expense control during the quarter. Excluding loss and LAE expense, consolidated expenses were $72 million in the quarter, down from $134 million a year ago ($79 million excluding an impairment and restructuring charge in Q3‘22). Reduced sales and marketing expenses were the major driver, down to $19 million from $29 million a year ago while tech and development costs were $12 million versus $15 million a year ago. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in Insurance Related Expenses to $20 million from $16 million a year ago. We also recently decided to take additional expense savings action including the difficult decision to make a staff reduction of up to 120 employees. We expect these actions to drive additional annualized savings between $50-70 million, partially beginning in Q4‘23. We ended the quarter in a strong financial position with cash and investments of $558 million, down from $565 million on June 30, 2023, as our Q3 adjusted EBITDA loss was partially offset by favorable changes in working capital. Services In our Services segment, our Q3 adjusted operating loss was $10 million, down from $16 million a year ago. Year-over-year growth remained strong with TGP up 32% to $122 million and revenue up 22% to $12 million. Hippo’s Agency continues to have tremendous success in the builder channel with volumes reaching another all-time high in the quarter despite the pressures on the broader housing market. Growth was driven by higher numbers of policies placed as well as higher premium per policy. Our third- party premium retention rate was 97% in the quarter. At First Connect, our digital marketplace for independent agents and carriers, we saw a year-over-year increase of more than 180% in non-Hippo new TGP during the quarter, despite challenging market conditions. By the


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 8 end of this year, non-Hippo TGP will be triple the level it was at the end of 2021. We’ve been consistently adding to our portfolio of carriers to attract agency partners and in Q3, we hit a new record, with over 20,000 agency appointments granted, representing 3x growth from a year ago. As we look forward to 2024, we expect that continued revenue growth coupled with expense savings will turn our Services segment closer to positive operating income in the second half of 2024. Insurance-as-a-Service Adjusted operating income was steady at $4 million, up from $2 million in the year ago quarter. YoY TGP growth remains very strong at 72% and we see many opportunities for further growth in the market. Revenue grew 94% year over year. We continue to expand our Spinnaker platform while maintaining our high standards for due diligence, underwriting and expense discipline. Hippo Home Insurance Program HHIP’s adjusted operating loss of $32 million was HHIP’s best quarter since we began segment reporting. Underwriting and pricing actions taken in 2022 and 2023, continued expense control, and improved underwriting performance and improved reinsurance treaty terms all contributed. TGP at HHIP was $95 million, up 1% over the prior year quarter, as underwriting and pricing actions we took in 2022 and early 2023 resulted in higher rates that offset an intentional reduction in underlying policy count and exposure. We expect our recent actions to result in additional TGP declines in 2024. Our aim is to materially reduce our exposure to the hail and storm risks which have caused a disproportionate portion of our losses to date. Revenue of $29 million was up 77% over the prior year quarter largely reflecting the higher premium retention of our 2023 reinsurance treaty versus 2022’s treaty. In addition, we benefited from organic growth in TGP and higher investment income. HHIP’s gross loss ratio was 75%. Excluding PCS cats and prior year development, the core gross loss ratio was 69% versus 82% in the year-ago


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 9 quarter. Our reserves for the large second quarter storm losses have been developing favorably but it’s still early. While we’re pleased with the loss ratio progress, we expect the more aggressive actions we’ve taken in recent months to drive even better results in the future results with significantly lower volatility. HHIP’s adjusted operating expenses, excluding Loss and LAE, were $26 million, down from $38 million in the prior year quarter. As a percent of TGP, these operating expenses were 27% versus 40% in the year ago quarter. While we are pleased with this improvement, we expect even more going forward, as a significant portion of our recent expense reduction actions were focused in this segment Guidance Summary • For the full year 2023, we now expect an adjusted EBITDA loss of $207- $212 million, compared to our previous range of $208-$218 million • 2023 revenue of $190-$195 million compared to our previous estimate of $178 million. Our 2023 TGP estimate remains $1.1 billion


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 10 Non-GAAP financial measures This letter to shareholders includes the non-GAAP financial measure (including on a forward-looking basis) Adjusted EBITDA. Hippo defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net loss attributable to Hippo excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, net investment income, restructuring charges, impairment expense, other non-cash fair market value adjustments, and contingent consideration for one of our acquisitions and other transactions that we consider to be unique in nature. Hippo excludes these items from Adjusted EBITDA because it does not consider them to be directly attributable to its underlying operating performance. This non-GAAP measure is an addition, 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 non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this presentation. Hippo believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Hippo. Hippo’s management uses forward looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate Hippo’s projected financial and operating performance. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Hippo’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. This letter to shareholders also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Hippo is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 11 This letter to shareholders also includes key operating and financial metrics including Total Generated Premium (“TGP”), Gross Loss Ratio and Net Loss Ratio. We define TGP as the aggregate written premium placed across all our business platforms for the period presented. We measure TGP as it reflects the volume of our business irrespective of choices related to how we structure our reinsurance treaties, the amount of risk we retain on our own balance sheet or the amount of business written in our capacity as an MGA, agency or as an insurance carrier/reinsurer. • We define Total Generated Premium in force as the aggregate annualized premium for all the policies in force as of the period end date. • We define Gross Loss Ratio expressed as a percentage, which is the ratio of the gross losses and loss adjustment expenses to the gross earned premium. • We define Core Gross Loss Ratio as current accident year loss ratio excluding PCS-defined catastrophe losses. • We define Net Loss Ratio expressed as a percentage, which is the ratio of the net losses and loss adjustment expenses to the net earned premium.

These statements are based on the current expectations of Hippo’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions, and many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Hippo. These forward-looking


 
Letter to Shareholders | Q3 2023 12 statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our ability to achieve or maintain profitability in the future; our ability to retain and expand our customer base and grow our business, including our builder network; our ability to manage growth effectively; risks relating to Hippo’s brand and brand reputation; denial of claims or our failure to accurately and timely pay claims; the effects of intense competition in the segments of the insurance industry in which we operate; the availability and adequacy of reinsurance, including at current coverage, limits or pricing; our ability to underwrite risks accurately and charge competitive yet profitable rates to our customers, and the sufficiency of the analytical models we use to assess and predict exposure to catastrophe losses; risks related to our proprietary technology and our digital platform; outages or interruptions or delays in services provided by our third party providers, including our data vendor; risks related to our intellectual property; the seasonal and cyclical nature of our business; the effects of severe weather events and other natural or man-made catastrophes, including the effects of climate change, global pandemics, and terrorism; continued disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic; any overall decline in economic activity; the effects of existing or new legal or regulatory requirements on our business, including with respect to maintenance of risk-based capital and financial strength ratings, data privacy and cybersecurity, and the insurance industry generally; and other risks set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward- looking statements. There may be additional risks that Hippo does not presently know, or that Hippo currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forwardlooking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Hippo’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this letter to shareholders. Hippo anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Hippo’s assessments to change. However, while Hippo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Hippo specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Hippo’s assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this letter to shareholders. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Information about Key Operating Metrics/Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define gross loss ratio expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of the gross losses and loss adjustment expenses, to the gross earned premium. We define TGP as the aggregate written premium placed across all of our business platforms for the period presented. We measure TGP as it reflects the volume of our business irrespective of choices related to how we structure our reinsurance treaties, the amount of risk we retain on our own balance sheet, or the amount of business written in our capacity as an MGA, agency, or as an insurance carrier/reinsurer. We define adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as net loss attributable to Hippo excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, net investment income, restructuring charges, impairment expense, other non-cash fair market value adjustments, contingent consideration for one of our acquisitions, and other transactions that we consider to be unique in nature. We exclude these items from Adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider them to be directly attributable to our underlying operating performance. This Non-GAAP financial measure is 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 this Non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP counterpart is included in the shareholder letter referenced above. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Hippo.
