**Dear Shareholders** 

Dear Root Shareholders,

The second quarter was another strong quarter for Root. We set a new record on revenue, growing gross earned premium 21% to $371 million, while also improving net income by $30 million year-over-year to $22 million. Other highlights of the quarter include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross combined ratio improved 6 points to 94% year-over-year, demonstrating the power of our pricing and underwriting technology

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Policies in force grew by 12% year-over-year to 455,493, despite increased competition in our Direct channel

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Partnership channel new writings nearly tripled year-over-year, validating our strategy of meeting customers where they are with a seamless, easy experience

These financial results, while critical, are the result of consistent execution over many quarters and, as such, we believe are inherently lagging indicators of our performance. To better appreciate Root's future and the big

![image_33a.jpg](image_33a.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2

------

**<br>Letter to Shareholders: Q2 2025**

opportunity ahead of us, we believe it is essential to focus on how we are continuing to execute against our strategy. In this regard, the second quarter marked significant progress.

This included the launch of our new pricing model in several states, with early indicators showing that this model is substantially improving our risk selection, increasing estimated customer lifetime values by 20% on average. In some states, this impact could be even larger. These improvements feed into our distribution engine, allowing us to grow faster, collect more data, and continue to build even more predictive models.

We also advanced our growth strategy by broadening our distribution. In July, we gained approval for our product filing in Washington, another step forward on our path to becoming national. Within the Partnership channel, our growth continued with the launch of comparative raters serving independent agents and adding more automotive and financial services partners. This channel is critical to our long-term growth strategy.

We are still in the very early chapters of our journey, and as we continue to execute against our three strategic pillars—pricing and automation, building differentiated access to customers, and creating experiences customers love—we believe we will continue to deliver even better products at better prices. We expect this will in turn generate profitable market share gains and earnings expansion for our investors.

We are pleased with our progress in the quarter, but we are far from satisfied as our goal remains to build the largest, most profitable personal lines insurance carrier in the U.S.

**Growth** 

Root remains a small player in a massive market. Today, we are not yet national; we operate only in a handful of marketing channels and our presence in the Partnerships channel is just beginning to emerge. Accordingly, our growth plan focuses on expansion across these three key areas.

![state_expansion3a.jpg](state_expansion3a.jpg)

------

**<br>Letter to Shareholders: Q2 2025**

While still in the early innings, we have made considerable progress. Our second quarter results illustrate this as gross premiums written increased 12% and gross premiums earned increased 21% year-over-year, while our gross loss ratio and LAE ratio improved 6 points year-over-year to 65%.

On state expansion, in addition to our recent approval for our product filing in Washington, we have additional filings pending in several states. As we secure approval and launch in new states, we intend to judiciously measure the adequacy of our pricing and adjust as needed prior to scaling growth.

Our Partnership channel has seen quarterly new writings nearly triple year-over-year, and we have seen strong early wins with independent agents, driven by our great prices and easy quote and bind experience. We are currently appointed with roughly 4% of independent agents, representing a meaningful growth opportunity.

To continue to expand our addressable market with independent agents, we recently launched Root Insurance through the industry's two largest comparative raters, EZLynx and PL Rating. Now live in more than 20 states, early traction on these platforms has been strong, and we plan to expand across the balance of our geographic footprint by end of year. According to a recent survey of independent agents, EZLynx and PL Rating are used by nearly half of independent agents.<sup>1</sup> Through these platforms, Root significantly expands its reach, meeting independent agents where they are with a technology that provides increased efficiency to their quote and bind process. Additionally, independent agents can get appointed with Root rapidly, reducing overall friction for our partners.

As anticipated, we saw competition increase in our Direct channel and our data-science machine reacted exactly as designed, reducing marketing spend when compared to the first quarter of 2025. To date, we have largely focused on performance marketing within the Direct customer acquisition funnel. Combining the data-rich nature of performance marketing with our machine-learning prowess allows for a competitive advantage among high intent customers. We have proven that we can win here, and we believe the next leg of growth will come from our ongoing R&D investments as we leverage this competitive advantage across the Direct customer acquisition funnel. These experiments are ongoing, and we invest heavily upfront in our data infrastructure to allow us to rigorously measure and rapidly test in these new direct marketing channels. As such, we expect this to be a multi-year endeavor. Given the size of these opportunities and our core competence in data analytics , we believe this opportunity is substantial and well worth the investment.

![chart-59ef5470313646f9b17a.jpg](chart-59ef5470313646f9b17a.jpg)

**Pricing and Underwriting** 

Auto insurance is a top expense for most households in America. As a government-mandated product in nearly every state, most customers cannot legally choose to go without insurance. Not surprisingly, price is the number one reason for choosing an insurance carrier and the number one reason for leaving. For this reason, auto insurance pricing is one of the most competitive, data intensive lines in the industry. It's also the largest line of business, so the prize is worth fighting for. At Root, we have captured an increasing segment of the market while achieving exceptional loss ratio levels.

Our proprietary technology platform and data science algorithms are foundational to our continued strong underwriting performance, as evidenced by our 58% gross loss ratio this quarter. This technology enables superior segmentation and speed to market, and we believe creates a durable competitive advantage. Estimated accident period severity was up 6% while frequency decreased 2%, which reflects tenure mix adjusted bodily injury, collision and property damage coverages.

In the second quarter, we released an updated pricing model, significantly improving our pricing accuracy. This iteration increases predictive power through better risk segmentation, including new rating variables and enhanced telematics features. These enhancements allow us to more accurately match price to risk, personalize rates based on customer behavior, and stay competitive in an industry rapidly shaped by technology and mobility shifts. As we continue to collect data and retrain our models, we believe the benefits will continue to expand and ultimately accrue to our customers in the form of a better price.

------

**<br>Letter to Shareholders: Q2 2025**

As mentioned last quarter, we are able to react swiftly and appropriately when it comes to the potential impact of tariffs. To date, we have not seen a meaningful impact from tariff implementations, and given that our current loss ratios remain below our long-term target of 60 to 65%, we would be able to absorb some impact without raising rates or sacrificing our long-term unit economic targets.

**Gross accident period loss ratio**

![gaplrimage63025a.jpg](gaplrimage63025a.jpg)

**Financials** 

We delivered another strong quarter with sustained performance on unit economics and disciplined expense management, as net income improved $30 million year-over-year to $22 million. We also delivered operating income of $27 million and adjusted EBITDA of $38 million, a $24 million and $26 million improvement year-over-year, respectively. Our net combined ratio of 95% reinforces the disciplined approach in how we manage the business and deploy capital.

As we have consistently noted, as Root grows, our Direct channel marketing spend may impact the degree of profitability in any given calendar quarter as we do not defer the majority of customer acquisition cost over the life of the customer. This means profitability tends to be higher in times of lower Direct channel investment and, conversely, lower in times of higher investment. As we continue to diversify our distribution, this impact will be less pronounced as acquisition investment in our Partnership channel is largely deferred over the life of the policy, alleviating the income statement timing mismatch of revenue and expenses.

Our capital position continues to strengthen with unencumbered capital of $314 million at the end of the second quarter. Given our excellent underwriting performance, we continue to be in a position of excess capital across our insurance subsidiaries. This allows us to continually optimize our operating structure and dynamically deploy growth capital to the best opportunities.

------

**<br>Letter to Shareholders: Q2 2025**

We have proof points that our approach is unique and our foundation for profitable growth is enduring. We will continue to invest in the back half of 2025 in our business, technology, and growth, which will impact our near-term net income profitability. However, these near-term investments are the prudent approach for our business and the right thing to do in order to grow our market share, sustainably expand our margins over the long-term and create shareholder value.

Additionally, in the third quarter, we expect to incur an approximately $16 to $18 million non-cash expense related to our outstanding warrant structure with Carvana<sup>2</sup>, of which approximately $15.5 million reflects a cumulative expense catch-up. We view this as a high-quality expense as it is dependent on achieving policy origination milestones. Our partnership with Carvana has provided the foundation for what is now our strategically important Partnership channel.

**Looking Forward**

Root has built a formidable business model that has translated into some of the best loss ratios in the industry, a healthy capital position, and a culture of discipline and rigor, which serves as the foundation for our continued growth. We are pleased with another successful quarter as we continue to execute across our three strategic pillars—pricing and automation, differentiated access to customers, and creating experiences customers love. Our goal remains to build the largest, most profitable personal lines insurance carrier in the U.S.

We remain grateful to our employees for their hard work, to our customers for their trust, and to our shareholders for their support.

**<br>Letter to Shareholders: Q2 2025**

**Non-GAAP financial measures** 

This letter and statements made during our earnings webcast may include information relating to Direct Contribution and Adjusted EBITDA, which are "non-GAAP financial measures" and are defined below. These non-GAAP financial measures have not been calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

In addition, Direct Contribution and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity, or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Therefore, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing our business and to, among other things: (1) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and financial performance, (2) facilitate internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations, (3) facilitate external comparisons of the results of our overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels, (4) review and assess the performance of our management team, including when determining incentive compensation, (5) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments, and (6) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see "Non-GAAP financial measures," "Reconciliation of Total Revenue to Direct Contribution" and "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA" below and in Root's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q at http://ir.joinroot.com or the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

------

**<br>Letter to Shareholders: Q2 2025**

**Defined Terms & Glossary**

We utilize the following definitions for terms used in this letter.

**Direct Contribution**

We define direct contribution, a non-GAAP financial measure, as gross profit excluding net investment income, acquisition costs, which include report costs and refunds related to these expenses and commission expenses related to our partnership channel, and fixed expenses, which include certain warrant compensation expense related to policies originating through the integrated automobile insurance solution for Carvana's online buying platform, overhead allocated based on headcount, or Overhead, and salaries, health benefits, bonuses, employee retirement plan-related expenses and employee share-based compensation expense, or Personnel Costs, licenses, professional fees and other expenses. Further impacts related to reinsurance are excluded, these consist of ceded premiums earned, ceded loss and LAE, and net ceding commission and other. Net ceding commission and other is comprised of ceding commission received in connection with reinsurance ceded, partially offset by amortization of excess ceding commission, and other impacts of reinsurance ceded which are included in other insurance expense. After these adjustments, the resulting calculation is inclusive of only those gross variable costs of revenue incurred on the successful acquisition of business. We view direct contribution as an important metric because we believe it measures profitability of our total policy portfolio prior to the impact of reinsurance.

**Adjusted EBITDA**

We define adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, warrant compensation expense, restructuring charges, legal fees and other items that do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. After these adjustments, the resulting calculation represents expenses directly attributable to our operating performance. We use adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it provides management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and underlying business performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted EBITDA differently.

**Encumbered Capital**

We define encumbered capital as cash and cash equivalents held within our regulated insurance entities.

**Unencumbered Capital**

We define unencumbered capital as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held outside of our regulated insurance entities. This amount includes borrowed funds that are subject to certain minimum liquidity covenants.

Distribution Channels

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•* Direct: *s***eamless experiences driven by performance marketing and organic traffic connecting consumers directly to the product.

------

**<br>Letter to Shareholders: Q2 2025**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Digital.* Our direct digital channel is designed to drive volume by efficiently capturing high-intent customers. We accomplish this by meeting our customers within platforms they use extensively such as Google or select marketplace platforms where consumers are actively shopping for insurance. We deploy dynamic data science models to optimize advertising, targeting and bidding strategies across our digital platforms, aligning customer acquisition cost to expected lifetime value of the potential customer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Referral.* We encourage our existing customers to spread our value proposition. Our referral channel compensates existing customers who refer new customers who subsequently complete a test drive. This channel facilitates community-based growth to those who value our fair and transparent approach to insurance. This is our lowest cost acquisition channel and an important aspect of our ongoing distribution and brand strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Channel Media.* We build consideration and drive intent through household-level targeted media channels including direct mail and social media. We utilize these media channels to drive awareness when launching in new markets and to actively target customers in active states.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•* Partnership***: a wide array of integrations, spanning early-stage marketing partnerships through fully embedded user experiences*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Embedded*. We build upon or within the mobile and web customer experiences of distribution partners to reach a captive customer base with an embedded solution. With varying levels of connectivity, including our proprietary and fully-integrated application which removes the need for the customer to ever visit a Root website to purchase and bind a policy. While these partnerships take time to onboard and launch, over the long term, we believe our flexible technology stack and investment in our platform seeks to optimize a seamless bind experience, creating a differentiated customer experience in this channel. We expect increased penetration of this channel over time as we seek to grow embedded relationships with other automotive and financial service technology companies with relevant customer bases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ *Agency*. We continue to invest in a product to bring the speed and ease of our technology to the independent agency channel. This channel provides access to a larger demographic of customers and we believe it has staying power. We developed an efficient quote and bind process through our agent platform that enables simplified distribution from agents to their customers. The technology driven approach makes this an appealing platform for agents and an efficient acquisition channel for us.
