Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

MarketBeat Week in Review – 12/4 - 12/8Hagerty NYSE: HGTY reported second-quarter results marked by continued policy growth, higher written and earned premiums, and increased adjusted EBITDA, prompting the specialty insurer to raise its full-year outlook.

Chief Executive Officer and Chairman McKeel Hagerty said the first half of 2026 was the company’s strongest on record based on growth in policies in force, written premium, earned premium and adjusted EBITDA. The company surpassed 3 million insured vehicles during the second quarter and added a record 279,000 new members in the first half, aided by State Farm policy conversions.

Suddenly markets are betting on Hagerty, AutoZone after UAW Written premium increased 19% in both the second quarter and first six months of 2026, accelerating from 14% growth a year earlier, according to Chief Financial Officer Patrick McClymont. Earned premium rose 42% to $252 million in the second quarter, reflecting policy growth and the company’s increased participation in underwriting economics under its new Markel fronting arrangement.

Markel Arrangement Changes Reported Financial Presentation Hagerty reassumed 100% of underwriting risk on its U.S. book beginning Jan. 1 under the Markel Fronting Arrangement. McClymont said the structure provides Hagerty with a 25% step-up in underwriting profits and investment income, but it also changes the presentation of its GAAP revenue and income statement.

First-half reported GAAP revenue declined 6% to $667 million despite 19% written premium growth, as MGA commission revenue and related ceding commission expense are eliminated in consolidation. Hagerty reported GAAP net income of $8 million in the second quarter, while its first-half GAAP net loss was $5 million.

Second-quarter net loss attributable to Class A common shareholders was $2 million, or $0.02 per share on both a GAAP and adjusted basis. The company’s second-quarter results included $64 million in amortization of deferred ceding commissions related to 2025 policies.

McClymont said Hagerty capitalized about $57 million in new acquisition expenses during the first half, with $16 million recognized through the income statement. That created a $41 million cumulative first-half benefit, including $20 million during the second quarter. The company expects that benefit to decline to $15 million in the second half and to be absent in the fourth quarter as policy acquisition expense amortization catches up with costs.

Management expects the accounting effects of the fronting transition to be largely resolved in 2027, when revenue and earnings should present a more normalized view of operating performance.

Profitability, Cash Flow and Outlook Hagerty Re reported a 90% combined ratio during the second quarter, following an 88% combined ratio for the first half. The first-half loss ratio was 41%. Management cited investments in underwriting and in-house claims capabilities as factors supporting member outcomes and lower loss costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was $75 million in the second quarter and $160 million in the first half, up 32% year over year. Operating cash flow for the first six months totaled $186 million, nearly double the amount generated in the first half of 2025.

As of June, Hagerty had $298 million of unrestricted cash and $216 million of total debt, including $88 million of back leverage associated with Broad Arrow’s portfolio of collector-car loans.

Based on first-half performance and momentum entering the second half, the company raised its 2026 guidance. Hagerty now expects:

Written premium growth of 16% to 17% for the full year. GAAP net income of $18 million to $30 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $270 million to $280 million. McClymont said stronger-than-expected cost efficiency and better Marketplace profitability were contributing to the increased EBITDA outlook. He also noted that Hagerty’s Marketplace business, which includes auctions and private sales, had performed better than expected and had major sales planned for the second half.

Distribution Expansion and Marketplace Growth Management said growth was broad-based across its distribution channels. The State Farm Classic+ program was active for new Hagerty policies in 37 states as of the end of the second quarter. Conversion of State Farm’s existing 525,000 collector-car policies was underway in 14 states, with Hagerty maintaining its target to complete the transition by 2028.

The company said its independent agency channel includes 54,000 agents and remains a significant opportunity. Hagerty is investing in automated vehicle-identification tools, straight-through processing and agent education to identify enthusiast vehicles insured under standard daily-driver policies.

Hagerty also cited expanding relationships with carriers including Progressive and Liberty Mutual. McClymont said the Progressive relationship has expanded beyond vehicles built before 1981 to include vehicles that are at least 25 years old, adding 17 years of potential vehicle cohorts on a rolling basis.

Enthusiast+, Hagerty’s offering for more modern enthusiast vehicles, was performing in line with revised pricing assumptions in Colorado. The company expanded the program into three additional states in July. McKeel Hagerty said younger collectors were increasingly driving demand, with year-to-date quote volume from Gen X, millennial and Gen Z consumers exceeding 60% of total demand.

Bennetts Acquisition and Marketplace Results After the quarter ended, Hagerty acquired Bennetts, the second-largest specialty motorcycle insurer in the United Kingdom, for £34 million. McClymont said the acquisition immediately triples Hagerty’s scale in the U.K. market. Management characterized acquisitions as likely to be modest and infrequent, with capital allocation remaining focused primarily on investments that grow policy count, improve unit economics and deepen the company’s member ecosystem.

Hagerty Marketplace generated $65 million in first-half total sales, up 17%. Broad Arrow, the company’s high-end live auction business, recorded a 74% increase in first-half sales and a 91% sell-through rate. Private sales declined from the prior-year period, which had benefited from the sale of a large single-owner collection.

McKeel Hagerty said the marketplace operation also serves as a customer-acquisition channel, as vehicles sold through auctions and private transactions may become Hagerty insurance policies. The company said it remains focused on reaching 3 million policies by 2030.

SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Second quarter 2026 Written Premium increased 19% year-over-year to $425 million, and year-to-date 2026 Written Premium increased 19% year-over-year to $713 million Second quarter 2026 Hagerty Re Earned Premium increased 42% year-over-year to $252 million, and year-to-date 2026 Earned Premium increased 42% year-over-year to $492 million Driven by the Markel Fronting Arrangement which increased Hagerty Re's U.S. quota share from 80% to 100% including in-force policies written in 2025, as well as growth in subject premiums written by our MGA subsidiaries Policies in Force Retention was 88.2% as of June 30, 2026 compared to 88.7% in the prior year period, and policies in force count increased 19% year-over-year to 1.9 million Second quarter 2026 MGA+ reporting unit Commission and fee revenue increased 17% to $167 million, and year-to-date 2026 MGA+ reporting unit Commission and fee revenue increased 18% year-over-year to $287 million, reflecting organic growth in the Essentia and State Farm books of business Assuming control of the Essentia book through the Markel Fronting Arrangement in the first quarter of 2026 requires the elimination of $144 million of Commission and fee revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and $247 million in the first half of 2026 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations On a consolidated basis, second quarter 2026 Commission and fee revenue decreased 83% year-over-year to $24 million, and year-to-date 2026 Commission and fee revenue decreased 84% year-over-year to $40 million Second quarter 2026 Marketplace revenue increased 48% year-over-year to $40 million, and year-to-date 2026 Marketplace revenue increased 17% year-over-year to $65 million Strong sales growth at live auctions and increased financing revenue which was enabled by the upsized BAC Credit Facility Second quarter 2026 Membership and other revenue increased 3% year-over-year to $21 million, and year-to-date 2026 Membership and other revenue increased 5% year-over-year to $43 million Hagerty Drivers Club (HDC) paid members increased 6% year-over-year to over 962,000 Second quarter 2026 Net investment income increased 17% year-over-year to $11 million, and year-to-date 2026 Net investment income increased 15% year-over-year to $21 million Second quarter 2026 Total Revenue decreased 6% year-over-year to $355 million, and year-to-date 2026 Total Revenue decreased 6% year-over-year to $667 million, reflecting the transition to the Markel Fronting Arrangement Second quarter 2026 Hagerty Re Loss Ratio was 42.7% compared to 42.3% in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Hagerty Re Loss Ratio was 40.6% compared to 42.2% in the prior year period Second quarter 2026 Hagerty Re Combined Ratio was 89.6% compared to 89.6% in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Hagerty Re Combined Ratio was 88.1% compared to 89.1% in the prior year period Second quarter 2026 Policy acquisition costs, net increased 1% to $84 million, and year-to-date 2026 Policy acquisition costs, net increased 16% to $186 million. The year-to-date increase is primarily due to the transition of our business under the Markel Fronting Arrangement, which resulted in incremental ceding commission expense for in-force policies written in 2025 and assumed at 100% on January 1, 2026, as well as an increase in earned premium The transition to the Markel Fronting Arrangement and adoption of Article 7 reporting standards for insurance companies reclassified certain costs among expense captions on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, reducing period-over-period comparability of individual captions without affecting total expenses. Beginning in 2026, following our assumption of control over the Essentia book of business, operating costs incurred by our U.S. MGA subsidiary in support of risk-taking activities are classified within Underwriting and other insurance expenses, versus Selling, general, and administrative expenses Together, second quarter 2026 Underwriting and other insurance expenses and Selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Insurance segment decreased 11% to $119 million, and year-to-date 2026 decreased 10% to $225 million. This decrease was primarily a result of the deferral of costs incurred by our MGA subsidiary for the successful acquisition or renewal of insurance policies issued under the Markel Fronting Arrangement. In 2025, these costs were expensed as incurred Second quarter 2026 Income before taxes of $2 million, including $64 million of Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs, and year-to-date 2026 Loss before taxes of $19 million, including $153 million of Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs Second quarter 2026 Net Income of $8 million, including $64 million of pre-tax Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs, compared to Net Income of $47 million in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Net Loss of $5 million, compared to Net Income of $74 million in the prior year period, including $153 million of pre-tax Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs Second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) increased 3% year-over-year to $75 million, compared to $73 million in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Adjusted EBITDA increased 32% year-over-year to $160 million, compared to $121 million in the prior year period Second quarter 2026 Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share were $(0.02), and year-to-date 2026 Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share were $(0.08) Second quarter 2026 Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share (a non-GAAP measure) was $(0.02), and year-to-date 2026 Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share was $(0.05) First half 2026 Cash Flow from Operating Activities increased 91% to $186 million The Company had $298 million of unrestricted cash and $216 million of total debt, $88 million of which was back leverage for Broad Arrow Capital's portfolio of loans collateralized by collector cars The definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided under the heading Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press release.

INCREASED 2026 OUTLOOK - COMPOUNDING GROWTH

We believe 2026 is on track to be another great year of underlying profit growth for Hagerty as our team executes on our long-term plan to deliver compounding premium growth through investing in our long-term competitive advantages with our member-centric approach. As of January 1, 2026, we moved to a 100% quota share arrangement with our long-term partner, Markel, where we retain 100% of the premium and risk from our high-quality, historically low volatility underwriting. We also remain focused on delivering this growth more efficiently through the benefits of scale, continued cost discipline, and investments in our technology platform.

For full year 2026, Hagerty anticipates: Written Premium growth of 16% to 17% Total Revenue change of (9)% to (8)%, as Markel-related commission revenue is eliminated under the Markel Fronting Arrangement1 Net Income of $18 million to $30 million, including ~$199 million of Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs2 Adjusted EBITDA of $270 million to $280 million

Prior 2026 Outlook shared on the Company's first quarter earnings call on May 6th, 2026.

2

Revenue guidance reflects the accounting impact of the Markel Fronting Arrangement. Beginning in 2026, we now control the Essentia book of business with the benefit of our MGA services received by Hagerty Re and not Essentia. As a result, commission revenue and the associated ceding commission expense for policies issued through the Markel Fronting Arrangement are now eliminated in consolidation. Although we expect the arrangement to result in increased profitability (as reflected in Adjusted EBITDA), reported commission revenue and ceding commission expense will be significantly lower than prior periods, affecting period-to-period comparability. 2025 commission revenue associated with our alliance agreement with Markel was $437 million and 2025 ceding commission expense related to the Company's reinsurance quota share agreement with Markel was $344 million.

3

The projected Net Income includes approximately $199 million of pre-tax transitional costs related to the Markel Fronting Arrangement representing deferred ceding commissions paid to Markel for policies written prior to January 1, 2026, which will be fully amortized ratably over the remaining term of those policies throughout 2026. This amortization will decline to $37 million in Q3 2026 and approximately $9 million in Q4 2026 as 2025 policies expire. Excluding these transitional costs, we expect 2026 to reflect underlying profitability improvement.

4

Full year 2025 Net Income includes (i) the benefit from the $42 million release of a portion of our valuation allowance, partially offset by a $32 million loss related to the change in value of the TRA liability; and (ii) a $21 million reduction in reserves in the fourth quarter, primarily related to favorable development for the 2024 accident year and improvement in current accident year experience.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as consolidated Net income (loss), excluding Interest expense and other, net, Income tax expense (benefit), and Depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to (i) exclude net investment gains and losses; (ii) deduct interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan; (iii) exclude share-based compensation expense; and when applicable, exclude (iv) restructuring, impairment and related charges; (v) gains, losses and impairments related to divestitures; and (vi) certain other unusual items, such as Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

How This Measure is Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is a useful measure to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors and peers. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties with a supplemental view of our operating performance that enhances their understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

Limitations of the Usefulness of This Measure

Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies. Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is presented below.

Interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan is charged against Adjusted EBITDA as it is directly attributable to the operations of Hagerty Re.

3

Represents the amortization of deferred ceding commissions paid to Markel for policies written prior to January 1, 2026. These costs relate exclusively to policies written prior to our entry into the Markel Fronting Arrangement and are being fully amortized ratably over the remaining term of those policies through December 31, 2026. The amortization of these deferred ceding commissions was $89 million in the first quarter of 2026, $64 million in the second quarter of 2026, and we expect it to decline to approximately $37 million in the third quarter of 2026 and approximately $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 as the remaining 2025 policy terms run off. Management excludes these costs from Adjusted EBITDA because they are transitional charges related solely to deferred ceding commissions on policies written prior to January 1, 2026, are expected to run off by December 31, 2026, and are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance under the Markel Fronting Arrangement.

4

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, other unusual items includes professional fees related to the pending acquisition of Bennetts. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other unusual items includes professional fees related to the pending acquisition of Bennetts and additional severance expenses associated with the actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other unusual items includes certain legal settlement expenses, professional fees associated with the THG Unit Exchange and related secondary offering, and certain material severance expenses.

As a result of our transition to Article 7 reporting standards, Net investment income is reported as a component of revenue and is no longer an adjustment in our reconciliation from Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan is now deducted from Adjusted EBITDA as it is directly attributable to Hagerty Re, which generates a significant portion of our net investment income. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA as presented in the prior period in accordance with Article 5, to the current presentation in accordance with Article 7:

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock, adjusted to exclude (i) net investment gains and losses; and when applicable, (ii) changes in the TRA Liability; (iii) gains and losses related to divestitures; and (iv) certain other unusual items. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and unvested share-based compensation awards.

How These Measures Are Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors and peers. Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We believe these measures provide securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties with a supplemental view of our operating performance that enhances their understanding of our business and results of operations that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we believe these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders driven by increases in Hagerty, Inc.'s ownership in THG, which is unrelated to our operating performance, and excludes items that are unusual or may not be indicative of our ongoing performance.

Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies. Presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating our performance, they assume the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock, which has not occurred and may not occur. Further, the adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss) exclude certain expenses and income that may recur in the future. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should be evaluated in conjunction with our GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of Adjusted Diluted EPS are presented below.

Comparability Bridge

Due to the expanded underwriting and claims authority granted to us under the Markel Fronting Arrangement, we now control the Essentia book of business. While our U.S. MGA subsidiary and Hagerty Re continue to operate in the same manner they have historically, beginning on January 1, 2026, the benefit of our MGA services is being received by Hagerty Re and not Essentia. As a result, effective in the first quarter of 2026, we are no longer recognizing commission revenue or the associated ceding commission expense for Essentia-originated policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, ceding commission expense associated with Essentia policies issued in 2025 will continue to be recognized ratably over the remaining term of those policies throughout 2026. In addition, policy acquisition costs incurred by our U.S. MGA subsidiary for Essentia policies issued in 2026 are being deferred and amortized over the policy term. Accordingly, our entry into the Markel Fronting Arrangement has reduced the period‑to‑period comparability of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the standalone results of operations for our Hagerty Re and MGA+ reporting units for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which reflect the continuing operations of those businesses, to total insurance segment results of operations included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

SOURCE Hagerty

, /PRNewswire/ -- Hagerty, Inc. (NYSE: HGTY), a business that makes it easier and more enjoyable to be a driving enthusiast through insurance, buying and selling platforms, publishing and events, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bennetts, the United Kingdom's #2 specialty motorcycle insurance broker, from Lucida Group for £34 million ($43 million USD). The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive, and close during the third quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approval. The acquisition increases Hagerty's international scale, augmenting the ongoing investment into Hagerty's Broad Arrow business outside of the United States.

Hagerty Agrees to Acquire Bennetts to Become #2 Specialty Motorcycle Insurance Broker in the United Kingdom Founded more than 90 years ago, Bennetts brings 15% UK motorcycle insurance market share and a 65 Net Promoter Score through a member-centric approach similar to Hagerty's model in the enthusiast car space.

"Bennetts is a brand built the same way Hagerty was built – by genuine enthusiasts, for genuine enthusiasts," said McKeel Hagerty, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Hagerty. "Their 100,000 community members from Bennetts' 'Bike Social' platform, decades of trust in the UK motorcycle market and disciplined, low-frequency book make this a natural extension of everything we stand for as we look to seed our international growth in a deliberate way."

Mark Roper, Hagerty's UK Managing Director added, "We are excited to welcome the Bennetts team into the Hagerty family. Bennetts has built something special — a brand riders trust, a community they love and a business with momentum. Our commitment is simple: keep what makes Bennetts great, and bring the best of Hagerty alongside it, building something stronger than either of us could on our own."

Tripling Hagerty's UK Footprint
The acquisition is also expected to triple Hagerty's UK revenue to approximately £25 million, and to be financially accretive from day one, even before the realisation of identified synergies.

This acquisition builds on the international momentum Hagerty has established through Broad Arrow Auctions, which has expanded its European presence over the past year. Together, both brands can create a more integrated enthusiast platform in the United Kingdom – combining specialty insurance, live and digital auctions and community engagement across both motorcycles and enthusiast cars with meaningful cross-sell opportunities.

Bennetts' book comprises 92% enthusiast riders and has a risk profile that closely mirrors Hagerty's enthusiast car insurance portfolio. Bennetts' 4.7/5.0 Trustpilot rating, 250,000 YouTube subscribers, and 41 million annual social media interactions reflects an exceptional level of authentic community engagement.

Editors Notes.
