We account for such expense as stock-based compensation according to GAAP, but we do not include it in any non-GAAP adjustments. Stock-based compensation associated with bonuses was approximately$0.2 million and$1.3 million for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2024 , respectively.- Consists of business acquisition transaction expenses, severance and legal costs due to certain executive departures, and a
$3.8 million non- recurring settlement of accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2023 related to uncollected premiums in connection with the transition of underwriting a third-party business to other insurers. - Consists of costs related to product exploration and development that are pre-revenue and historically have been insignificant.
- Excludes the portion of stock-based compensation expense attributable to the other business segment.
