* Total Managed Premium,
formerly reported as Total Written Premium, includes all premiums
originated and serviced by Kin, including on Kin Carrier (gross
written premium) and as an agent on other carriers (gross placed
premium). In the most recent quarter, 96% of Total Managed Premium
was written on the Kin Carrier. **Adjusted Operating Income, a
non-GAAP financial measure, as net loss attributable to Kin
Insurance Inc. excluding interest expense, income tax expense,
depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other
non-operating expenses.
“While the third quarter is typically the seasonally slowest
quarter, our direct-to-consumer value proposition enabled us to
still grow our Total Managed Premium by double digits
sequentially,” said Sean Harper, Chief Executive Officer of Kin.
“I’m especially proud that our renewal rate continues to climb,
which we believe signifies that we are delivering on our promise to
customers and offering a superior experience from pricing to
underwriting to claims.”
Kin’s premium renewal rate increased to 99% in the third quarter
of 2021 from 92% in the second quarter, bringing its year to date
renewal rate to 94%. Premium renewal rate is an important driver of
future total managed premium and customer lifetime value.
Kin’s operating leverage improved meaningfully in the third
quarter, as Gross Profit grew two times faster than Operating
Expenses on a year over year basis.
“Our operating leverage continues to improve year over year,
even in a quarter where we invested considerably in new
initiatives, in particular a significant brand campaign, ‘Florida,
Man,’ which generated more than a million social views,” added Kin
Chief Financial Officer Josh Cohen.
The preliminary results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2021 presented in this release are based on the information
available to us at this time. Our actual results may vary from the
estimated preliminary results presented here due to the completion
of our financial closing procedures and final adjustments. The
estimated preliminary results have not been audited or reviewed by
our independent registered public accounting firm. These estimates
should not be viewed as a substitute for our full interim financial
statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on this
preliminary data.
