Business Overview
Porch is a vertical software platform for the home, providing software and
services to approximately 20,000 home services companies, such as home
inspectors, moving companies, utility companies, warranty companies, and others.
Porch helps these service providers grow their business and improve their
customer experience.
As of
Software
Porch'sVertical Software segment provides software and services to home services companies and, through these relationships, gains unique and early access to homebuyers and homeowners, assists homebuyers and homeowners with critical services such as moving, and, in turn, Porch's platform drives demand for other services from such companies as part of our value proposition.Vertical Software segment has three types of customers: (1) home services companies, such as home inspectors, for whom Porch provides software and services andwho provide introductions to homebuyers and homeowners; (2) consumers, such as homebuyers and homeowners, whom Porch assists with the comparison and provision of various critical home services, such as moving, security, TV/internet, and home repair and improvement; and (3) service providers, such as moving companies, title companies, security companies and TV/internet providers,who pay Porch for new customer sign-ups. Our Insurance segment offers various property-related insurance policies through its own managing general agency, carrier and agency. The Insurance segment also includes home warranty revenue. Throughout the last eight years, Porch has established and expanded operations across a number of home-related industries. Porch has also selectively acquired companies which can be efficiently integrated into Porch's platform. In 2017, we significantly expanded our position in the home inspection industry by acquiring ISN™, a developer of ERP and CRM software for home inspectors. InNovember 2018 , we acquired HireAHelper™, a provider of software and demand for moving companies. In 2019, we acquired a business that connects new homebuyers to utility companies. In 2020, we acquired a moving services technology company, iRoofing, LLC a roofing software company, and two individually immaterial acquisitions. In the first half of 2021, we acquired a home inspection integrated customer service and call handling solution company, V12 Data, an omnichannel marketing platform, HOA, an insurance managing general agency, as well as Rynoh, a financial management and fraud prevention software service for the title and real estate industries. InSeptember 2021 , we acquired American Home Protect ("AHP"), a provider of whole home warranty policies acrossthe United States . We will continue to make additional acquisitions that are consistent with our focus on insurance and home services related verticals. We sell our software and services to companies using a variety of sales and marketing tactics. We have teams of inside sales representatives organized by vertical marketwho engage directly with companies. We have enterprise sales teams which target the large named accounts in each of our vertical markets. These teams are supported by a variety of typical software marketing tactics, including digital, in-person (such as trade shows and other events) and content marketing. For consumers, Porch largely relies on our unique and proprietary relationships with the approximately 20,000 companies using Porch's software to provide the company with end customer access and introductions. Porch then utilizes technology, lifecycle marketing and teams in lower cost locations to operate as a Moving Concierge to assist these consumers with services. Porch has invested in limited direct-to-consumer ("D2C") marketing capabilities, but expects to become more advanced over time with capabilities such as digital and social retargeting.
Key Performance Measures and Operating Metrics
In the management of our businesses, we identify, measure and evaluate a variety of operating metrics. The key performance measures and operating metrics we use in managing our businesses are set forth below. These key 44
Table of Contents
performance measures and operating metrics are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to or calculated in the same way as other similarly titled measures and metrics used by other companies. The key performance measures presented have been adjusted for divested Porch businesses in 2018 through 2020.
Average Number of Companies in Quarter - Porch provides software and services
to home services companies and, through these relationships, gains unique and
early access to homebuyers and homeowners, assists homebuyers and homeowners
with critical services such as insurance, warranty and moving. Porch's
customers include home services companies, such as home inspectors, for whom
Porch provides software and services and
homebuyers and homeowners. Porch tracks the average number of home services
? companies from which it generates revenue each quarter in order to measure our
ability to attract, retain and grow our relationships with home services
companies. Porch management defines the average number of companies in a
quarter as the straight-line average of the number of companies as of the end
of period compared with the beginning of period number of companies, inclusive
of all companies across Porch's home services verticals that (i) generate
recurring revenue and (ii) generated revenue in the quarter. For new
acquisitions, we determine the number of customers in their initial quarter
based on the percentage of the quarter they were part of Porch.
Average Revenue per Account per Month - Management views Porch's ability to
increase revenue generated from existing customers as a key component of
? Porch's growth strategy. Average revenue per account per month in quarter is
defined as the total revenue from the quarter divided by the average number of
companies in the period divided by 3 (to provide monthly revenue).
The following table summarizes our average companies in quarter and average
revenue per account per month for each of the quarterly periods indicated:
2018 2019 2019 2019 2019 2020 2020 2020 2020 2021 2021 2021 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Average Companies in Quarter 9,627 10,199 10,470 10,699 10,972 10,903 10,523 10,792 11,157 13,995 17,120 20,472 Average Revenue per Account per Month in Quarter$ 325 $ 305 $ 468 $ 552 $
450$ 484 $ 556 $ 664 $ 556 $ 637 $ 1,000 $ 1,022 Due to COVID-19, some small companies put their business with the Company on hold which is reflected in lower number of total companies in 2020 and higher average revenue per account.
Number of Monetized Services in Quarter - Porch connects consumers with home
services companies nationwide and offers a full range of products and services
where homeowners can, among other things: (i) compare and buy home insurance
policies (along with auto, flood and umbrella policies) and warranties with
competitive rates and coverage; (ii) arrange for a variety of services in
connection with their move, from labor to load or unload a truck to
full-service, long-distance moving services; (iii) discover and install home
automation and security systems; (iv) compare internet and television options
for their new home; (v) book small handyman jobs at fixed, upfront prices with
? guaranteed quality; and (vi) compare bids from home improvement professionals
performed through its platform each quarter and the revenue generated per
service performed in order to measure to measure market penetration with
homebuyers and homeowners and Porch's ability to deliver high-revenue services
within those groups. Monetized services per quarter is defined as the total
number of unique services from which we generated revenue, including, but not
limited to, new and renewing insurance and warranty customers, completed moving
jobs, security installations, TV/internet installations or other home projects,
measured over a quarterly period.
Average Revenue per Monetized Service - Management believes that shifting the
mix of services delivered to homebuyers and homeowners toward higher revenue
services is a key component of Porch's growth strategy. Average revenue per
? monetized services in quarter is the average revenue generated per monetized
service performed in a quarterly period. When calculating Average Revenue per
Monetized Service in quarter, average revenue is defined as total quarterly
service transaction revenues generated from monetized services. 45 Table of Contents
The following table summarizes our monetized services and average revenue per
monetized service for each of the quarterly periods indicated:
2018 2019 2019 2019 2019 2020 2020 2020 2020 2021 2021 2021 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Monetized Services in Quarter 184,645 185,378 205,887 211,190 172,862 152,165 181,520 198,165 169,949 182,779 302,462 329,359 Revenue per Monetized Service in Quarter$ 44 $ 43 $ 63 $ 76 $ 78 $ 93 $ 86 $ 97 $ 98 $ 92 $ 129 $ 144
In 2020, the Company shifted insurance monetization from getting paid per quote
to earning multiyear insurance commissions, resulting in fewer monetized
transactions with higher average revenue.
InMarch 2020 , COVID-19 impacted the service volumes during the period from March until June. The impact on service volumes, largely recovered byJune 30, 2020 and after adjusting for insurance monetization remains above prior year volumes. Recent Developments COVID-19 Impact
InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the global novel coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") outbreak. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures adopted by government entities in response to it have adversely affected Porch's business operations, which impacted revenue primarily in the first half of 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related mitigation measures, Porch's ability to conduct ordinary course business activities has been and may continue to be impaired for an indefinite period. The extent of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Porch's operational and financial performance will depend on various future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and impact on the Company's customers, suppliers, and employees, all of which is uncertain at this time. Porch expects the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to have an uncertain impact on future revenue and results of operations, but Porch is unable to predict at this time the size and duration of such impact.
Comparability of Financial Information
Porch's future results of operations and financial position may not be
comparable to historical results as a result of the Merger.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates in two operating segments:Vertical Software and Insurance. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the CODM in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the CODM.
Components of Results of Operations
Total Revenue
The Company generates its Core Services Revenue from (1) fees received for connecting homeowners to individual contractors, small business service providers and large enterprise service providers, (2) commissions from third-party insurance and warranty carriers, and (3) insurance and warranty premiums, policy fees and other insurance-related fees generated through its own insurance carrier. The Company's Managed Services Revenue is generated from fees received for providing select and limited services directly to homeowners. The Company's Software and Service Subscription 47
Table of Contents
Revenue is generated from fees received for providing subscription access to the
Company's software platforms and subscription services across various
industries.
In the Core Services Revenue stream, the Company connects Service Providers with homeowners that meet pre-defined criteria and may be looking for relevant services. Service Providers include a variety of service providers throughout a homeowner's lifecycle, including movers, TV/Internet, warranty, and security monitoring providers, plumbers, electricians, roofers, title companies, et al. The Company also sells home insurance and home warranty policies through the Company's own insurance carrier, as well as for third-party insurance carriers. Managed Services Revenue includes fees earned from homeowners for providing select services directly to the homeowner, including handyman and moving services. The Company generally invoices for managed services projects on a fixed fee or time and materials basis. The transaction price represents the contractually agreed upon price with the end customer for providing the respective service. Revenue is recognized as services are performed based on an output measure or progress, which is generally over a short duration (e.g., same day). Fees earned for providing managed services projects are non-refundable and there is generally no right of return. Software and Service Subscription Revenue primarily relates to subscriptions to the Company's home inspector software, marketing software and services, and other vertical software. The Company's subscription arrangements for this revenue stream do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting the cloud-based application services. The Company's standard subscription contracts are monthly contracts in which pricing is based on a specified price per inspection completed through the software. Marketing software and services are primarily contractual monthly recurring billings. Fees earned for providing access to the subscription software are non-refundable and there is no right of return. Revenue is recognized based on the amount which the Company is entitled to for providing access to the subscription software during the monthly contract term.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis these estimates, which include, but are not limited to, estimated variable consideration for services performed, the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciable lives for property and equipment, acquired intangible assets, goodwill, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, assumptions used in stock-based compensation, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, contingent consideration, earnout liabilities and private warrant liabilities, are evaluated by management. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, judgments, and assumptions. At least quarterly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions and make changes accordingly. For information on our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the accompanying Porch unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The decrease was primarily due to decreased interest rates paid during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared with the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , as a result of theJanuary 2021 amendment to the Company's senior secured term loans, which reduced the interest payable from 11.05% to 8.55% and subsequent repayment of these loans inSeptember 2021 (see Note 7). The effective interest rate for the new 2026 Notes issued inSeptember 2021 was 1.3%, which further reduced the Company's interest expense. 52

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA
(loss), Adjusted EBITDA (loss) as a percent of revenue and average revenue per
monetized service.
Porch defines Adjusted EBITDA (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, net, income taxes, other expenses, net, depreciation and amortization, certain non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related impacts, including compensation to the sellers that requires future service, amortization of intangible assets, gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements, if any, gain or loss on divestures and certain transaction costs. Adjusted EBITDA (loss) as a percent of revenue is defined as Adjusted EBITDA (loss) divided by GAAP total revenue. Average revenue per monetized services in quarter is the average revenue generated per monetized service performed in a quarterly period. When calculating average revenue per monetized service in a quarter, average revenue is defined as total quarterly service transaction revenues generated from monetized services. Porch's management and Board of Directors use these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of Porch's operating and financial performance for historical and forward-looking periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, to evaluate financial and strategic planning matters, and for certain measures, to establish performance goals for incentive programs. Porch believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful information to evaluate projected operating results and trends and in comparing Porch's financial measures with competitors, other similar companies and companies across different industries, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, Porch's definitions and methodology in calculating these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies. In addition, Porch may modify the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation, as a substitute to or superior to financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude specified income and expenses, some of which may be significant or material, that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Porch's consolidated financial statements. Porch may also incur future income or expenses similar to those excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures, and Porch's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exercise of management judgment about which income and expense are included or excluded in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. 55

23 10 145 $ 1,958 $ (68)$ 4,648 $ (386) Adjusted EBITDA for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 was$0.9 million , a$2.3 million improvement from Adjusted EBITDA (loss) of$1.4 million for the same period in 2020. The improvement in the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 is primarily due to the increase in revenue driven by acquisitions and organic growth in our moving services, inspection and insurance businesses. Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 was$18.6 million , a$4.3 million decline from Adjusted EBITDA (loss) of$14.3 million for the same period in 2020. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is due to the weather-related loss impact of the HOA insurance business, legal costs attributable to general legal matters, increase in general and administrative costs related to public companies and increased hiring for corporate resources. Additionally during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 there was a compensation reduction which did not recur 56

during the comparable period in the current year. This was partially offset by revenue growth in the moving, insurance and inspection groups, as well as no negative impact of the divested businesses in 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes, and proceeds from the senior secured term loans. OnDecember 23, 2020 , the Company received approximately$269.5 million of aggregate cash proceeds from recapitalization, net of transactions costs. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents of$410.2 million and$5.6 million of restricted cash. The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, and has an accumulated deficit atSeptember 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 totaling$404.0 million and$317.5 million , respectively. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , the Company had$429.6 million and$50.8 million aggregate principal amount outstanding in convertible notes, term loans and promissory notes, respectively. During 2020 and the first half of 2021, the Company refinanced the existing$40.0 million term loans and received additional loan proceeds of$7.0 million from new senior secured term loans and$10.3 million from theU.S. government pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. InSeptember 2021 , the Company completed a private offering of$425 million aggregate principal amounts of its 2026 Notes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2026 Notes offering to repay all outstanding obligations under a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as ofJuly 22, 2020 (as subsequently amended, the "Runway Loan Agreement"), among the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaryPorch.com, Inc. , as borrower representative, a syndicate of lenders party thereto, the other borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto and Runway Growth Finance Corp (f/k/aRunway Growth Credit Fund Inc. ), as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Agent"), pursuant to which there was a$40.4 million senior secured term loan outstanding (the "Senior Secured Term Loan"). The total repayment amount of$42.8 million consisted of outstanding principal, accrued interest, prepayment fees and related expenses. Concurrent with such repayment in full of all outstanding obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan onSeptember 16, 2021 , the Runway Loan Agreement (and all commitments and liens thereunder) was terminated. A loss on extinguishment of$3.1 million was recorded. Based on the Company's current operating and growth plan, management believes cash and cash equivalents atSeptember 30, 2021 , are sufficient to finance the Company's operations, planned capital expenditures, working capital requirements and debt service obligations for at least the next 12 months. As the Company's operations evolve and continues its growth strategy, including through acquisitions, the Company may elect or need to obtain alternative sources of capital, and it may finance additional liquidity needs in the future through one or more equity or debt financings. The Company may not be able to obtain equity or additional debt financing in the future when needed or, if available, the terms may not be satisfactory to the Company or could be dilutive to its stockholders. Additionally, in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , the Company raised approximately$130.3 million from the exercises of public warrants and stock options.
The Company has used the proceeds from debt and equity principally to fund
general operations and acquisitions.

Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company ("EGC"), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). In accordance with the JOBS Act, the Company previously elected to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. As ofJune 30, 2021 , the last business day of the second fiscal quarter, the Company met certain thresholds for qualification as a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Therefore, the Company expects to lose EGC status as ofDecember 31, 2021 . The impact of this change in filing status includes being subject to the requirements of large accelerated filers, which includes shortened filing timelines, no delayed adoption of certain accounting standards, presentation of two comparative periods, and attestation of the Company's internal control over financial reporting by its independent auditor.
