Exzeo Group Q2 Earnings Call Highlights

Exzeo Group reported second-quarter 2026 results that exceeded its guidance, with higher managed premium, revenue and pre-tax income, while outlining continued expansion of its insurance platform and the launch of an internal artificial intelligence initiative. Chief Financial Officer Suela Bulku said managed premium on the platform reached $1.4 billion during the quarter, compared with $1.2 billion in the first quarter. Total revenue rose to $58 million from $56 million in the prior quarter, driven by the increase in managed premium. Excluding outsourcing claim fees, adjusted revenue increased by $4 million year over year to more than $56 million. Pre-tax income exceeded $31 million, up from more than $28 million in the first quarter, while earnings per share totaled $0.26 for the quarter and $0.48 year to date. Adjusted EBITDA margin was more than 53%. We believe annualized margins above 50% are achievable for the foreseeable future. Annual recurring revenue rose to $211 million in the second quarter from $195 million in the prior quarter. The company ended the period with more than $333 million of invested assets, including cash equivalents and fixed-income securities, and remained debt-free. Shareholders’ equity increased to $288 million from $254 million at the end of the year, according to Bulku. During the quarter, Exzeo repurchased more than 726,000 shares for about $10 million. After the quarter closed, it repurchased another 107,000 shares, bringing total repurchases to $12 million and completing its authorized share repurchase program.

For the third quarter, Exzeo expects pre-tax income between $28 million and $31 million and managed premium of about $1.4 billion. The company left its full-year outlook unchanged, including year-end managed premium guidance of $1.55 billion. Bulku said revenue conversion from annual recurring revenue depends on renewal cycles and product mix. She said revenue in 2026 is expected to peak slightly in the second quarter, become more modest in the third quarter and decline slightly in the fourth quarter, reflecting the company’s normal seasonal patterns. President Kevin Mitchell said the company’s platform has continued to add users and insurance offerings. Exzeo signed its eighth carrier partner during the quarter, adding GEICO and bringing auto insurance to the platform. The addition enables agents to bundle home and auto coverage, according to Mitchell. The platform now offers homeowners, commercial residential, flood and auto insurance products.
