The earnings call reflects strong financial performance with a 31% revenue increase and a significant improvement in net income. The Q&A session did not reveal major risks, and management's guidance remains stable with some upside potential. The positive factors, including a 16% gross written premium increase and improved loss ratios, outweigh any concerns about the opaque reinsurance details. Overall, the sentiment is positive, likely leading to a moderate stock price increase in the short term.
Gross Written Premium $299 million in Q2 2025, a 16% increase year-over-year from $258 million in Q2 2024. This growth was driven by $24 million in organic growth from existing hybrid fronting programs and $23 million from new programs.
Revenue $117 million in Q2 2025, a 31% increase year-over-year from $90 million in Q2 2024. The increase was driven by gross earned premium growth of 12% to $238 million and an increase in premium retention by 9 percentage points to 39%.
Consolidated Net Loss Ratio 47% in Q2 2025, a 46 percentage point improvement year-over-year. This was driven by underwriting and rate actions, enhanced claims operations, and favorable reserve development across multiple lines of business.
Net Income $1 million in Q2 2025, a $41 million improvement year-over-year compared to Q2 2024. This was driven by top-line growth, improved consolidated net loss ratio, better operating leverage, and lower stock-based compensation expense.
Adjusted Net Income $17 million in Q2 2025, a $37 million improvement year-over-year compared to Q2 2024. The improvement was driven by the same factors as net income, excluding stock-based compensation expense.
Operating Expenses Decreased by $6 million in Q2 2025, a 16% reduction year-over-year. This reflects ongoing efficiency gains and a reduction from 46% of revenue in Q2 2024 to 30% of revenue in Q2 2025.
Ending Cash and Investments $604 million at the end of Q2 2025, an increase of $76 million quarter-over-quarter. This was primarily driven by a $50 million surplus note issuance and seasonal working capital changes, including payments received from reinsurers.
New Homeowners Product Distribution: Hippo will distribute its newly built homeowners product through Baldwin's Westwood Insurance Agency, significantly expanding reach and tripling access to new home closings.
Market Access Expansion: Partnership with Baldwin Group triples access to new home closings and expands geographic diversification.
Operational Efficiency: Fixed expenses decreased by 16% year-over-year while revenue grew by 31%, demonstrating improved operating leverage.
Underwriting Profitability: Achieved a consolidated net loss ratio of 47%, supported by favorable reserve developments and improved claims operations.
Strategic Diversification: Diversifying premium base across personal and commercial lines and leveraging hybrid fronting carrier to broaden reach in the insurance value chain.
Partnership with Baldwin Group: This partnership accelerates premium growth and diversification, extending capacity to Baldwin's MGA programs.
Asset Sale: Transferred homebuilder assets to Baldwin Group for $100 million, fueling long-term strategy and strengthening financial position.
Market Conditions: Reduction in gross written premium for HHIP due to a mixed trend where growth in new homes channel was offset by reduction in catastrophe exposure from existing homes.
Strategic Execution Risks: Risk participation in new programs is low initially, and increasing participation depends on enhancing return on equity, which could delay scaling.
Regulatory and Compliance Risks: Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forecasts.
Economic Uncertainties: Seasonal working capital changes and reliance on payments from reinsurers could impact cash flow stability.
Supply Chain and Operational Risks: Dependence on Baldwin partnership for tripling market access and premium growth introduces reliance on external entities.
Competitive Pressures: Scaling new homes channel and expanding beyond new homes to existing homes and new states could face competitive challenges.
Gross Written Premium (GWP) Guidance: The company raised the lower end of its guidance for full-year 2025 GWP from $1.05 billion-$1.1 billion to $1.07 billion-$1.1 billion, driven by stronger performance of newly launched programs. Q3 and Q4 are expected to record lower GWP versus Q2 on an absolute basis but will show an acceleration in year-over-year growth.
Revenue Guidance: Revenue for full-year 2025 is expected to be between $460 million and $465 million. The sale of homebuilder distribution assets is expected to lower revenue in Q3 and Q4 by approximately $5.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
Consolidated Net Loss Ratio Guidance: The company improved its full-year 2025 guidance for the consolidated net loss ratio from 72%-74% to 67%-69%, driven by positive loss trends. A slight increase in Q3 is expected due to seasonally higher non-PCS losses, followed by improvement in Q4.
Net Income Guidance: Full-year 2025 net income guidance was raised from a loss of $65 million-$69 million to a positive range of $35 million-$39 million, driven by improved net loss ratio trends and a one-time gain from selling homebuilder distribution assets.
Adjusted Net Income Guidance: Adjusted net income guidance for full-year 2025 was raised from a loss of $10 million-$14 million to a range of a $4 million loss to breakeven, driven by improved net loss ratio trends.
2028 Financial Targets: The company outlined long-term targets, including gross written premium over $2 billion, adjusted net income over $125 million, and adjusted return on equity over 18%, reflecting confidence in the long-term trajectory of the business.
Share Repurchase Program: On July 1, 2025, Hippo repurchased approximately 514,000 shares of its common stock beneficially owned by Lennar in a private transaction at a price per share of $28.17 for an aggregate purchase price of $14.5 million. The repurchase was made under the existing share repurchase program. As of July 1, 2025, approximately $18 million remains authorized and available under the share repurchase program.

The earnings call reflects strong revenue growth and optimistic guidance, but significant concerns remain. The impact of the LA wildfires on loss ratios, a substantial adjusted EBITDA loss, and pending regulatory approval for a critical capital raise weigh heavily. Competitive pressures and economic factors also pose risks. Despite raised revenue guidance and reduced expenses, the lack of immediate profitability and uncertainty around the surplus note issuance negatively impact sentiment. Without a clear market cap, the reaction could vary, but the overall sentiment leans negative due to these uncertainties.
The earnings call reflects strong financial performance with a 58% revenue increase and improved loss ratios. Raised guidance for 2025 and share repurchases are positive indicators. However, concerns about catastrophic losses and competitive pressures exist, but management's strategy to manage exposures and maintain reinsurance protection mitigates risks. The Q&A suggests optimism about growth and efficiency, despite some evasiveness on specific guidance. Overall, the positive aspects outweigh the negatives, suggesting a stock price increase in the short term.
