EverQuote

Lead-generation marketplace connecting consumers with insurers

Overview

EverQuote operates an online insurance marketplace that connects consumers with insurance providers. It helps individuals seeking policies for homes, cars, and families find and compare options through a digital platform. Users input personal details and insurance needs; the platform prequalifies them and matches them with suitable insurers in their area, enabling side-by-side comparisons so customers can choose the best option. Revenue comes from a lead-generation model in which insurers pay EverQuote for the leads generated through the platform. The company also uses interest-based advertising to show targeted ads based on collected user data. The goal is to make insurance shopping easier, faster, and more affordable by using technology to pair consumers with relevant insurance options and providers.

What believers are saying

  • Q3 2026 revenue hit $218.1 million, up 25%, with record EBITDA and cash flow.
  • Home and renters revenue grew 70% in Q3 2026, diversifying growth beyond auto.

  • OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic can gatekeep distribution, making EverQuote's AI traffic fragile.
  • A few large carrier customers drive results; pricing pressure or churn could crush 2027 growth.

What makes EverQuote unique

  • EverQuote combines carrier leads, agent tools, and AI shopping experiences across auto and home.
  • Jayme Mendal launched Luva on October 27, 2026, targeting LLM-native insurance shoppers.

EverQuote reports Q3 2026 revenue of $218.1 million. M Alfathan Rahman Reviewed by Gotrade Internal Analyst Nov 3, 2026 Gotrade News - EverQuote, Inc. (EVER) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $218.1 million on Monday, November 2, 2026, up 25% from $173.9 million a year earlier, according to EverQuote's official release.

EVER market data. | Ticker | Close | Daily change | | EVER | $24.27 | +3.23% | Regular-session close on November 2, 2026, New York time. Prices and changes: Yahoo Finance, cross-checked against the closing price on Nasdaq.com. EverQuote earnings details. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, revenue from EverQuote's automotive insurance vertical was $190.4 million and revenue from its home and renters insurance vertical was $27.7 million, growth of 21% and 70%, respectively, the company said. Variable Marketing Dollars were $62.6 million, compared to $50.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. The company said GAAP net income of $18.2 million, compared to $18.9 million, reflects higher income taxes and the impact of a one-time item in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, grew 41% to $35.5 million, compared to $25.1 million, and operating cash flow was $40.5 million, compared to $19.8 million. EverQuote ended the quarter with $229.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt. For the fourth quarter of 2026, the company gave an outlook of revenue of $213.0 million to $223.0 million, Variable Marketing Dollars of $57.0 million to $60.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $29.0 million to $32.0 million. Why it matters for EVER. According to the release, the third-quarter results exceeded the company's Q3 guidance and set records on all of its key metrics. "We are generating record results across our key financial metrics as we successfully grow and deepen our relationships with our carrier and agent customers," Chief Executive Officer Jayme Mendal said, adding that carriers "continue to maintain strong underwriting profitability and an appetite for growth." Chief Financial Officer Joseph Sanborn said the company's continued growth and execution are enabling it to invest in AI initiatives while also generating cash flow and returning capital to shareholders. EverQuote also said its Board of Directors recently approved a $50 million share repurchase program. This article is for education and information only and is not investment advice.

What EverQuote (EVER) said on its Q3 earnings call.

What EverQuote (EVER) said on its Q3 earnings call. EverQuote (NASDAQ:EVER) reported record third-quarter results, with revenue rising 25% year over year to $218.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 41% to $35.5 million, as insurer demand remained broad-based and the company expanded its artificial intelligence-focused offerings. Chief Executive Officer Jayme Mendal said the company exceeded the high end of its guidance across key financial measures. He attributed the performance to carriers maintaining underwriting profitability and pursuing policy growth, along with EverQuote's execution across its marketplace. "Our marketplace continues to fire on all cylinders as carriers maintain strong underwriting profitability and appetite for growth," Mendal said. Home insurance growth outpaces auto. Auto insurance revenue rose 21% from a year earlier to $190.4 million in the third quarter. Home insurance revenue increased 70% to $27.7 million as carriers increasingly focused on home insurance growth and EverQuote added resources to scale the vertical. Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer Joseph Sanborn said eight of EverQuote's top 10 carrier customers grew sequentially during the quarter, signaling broad demand across its customer base. Sanborn said the company began increasing its focus on the home market in early 2025, anticipating that carriers would shift their attention after addressing pricing in auto insurance. Home revenue grew approximately 30% to 35% in the first two quarters of 2026 before accelerating in the third quarter. While management expects home insurance to remain a faster-growing business than auto over the medium term, Sanborn cautioned that investors should not assume the 70% third-quarter growth rate will continue. He noted that the business is growing from a relatively smaller base and benefited from stronger-than-anticipated carrier activity during the period. Profitability, cash flow and buybacks. Variable marketing dollars, or VMD, increased 25% year over year to $62.6 million. Variable marketing margin was 28.7% in the quarter. GAAP net income totaled $18.2 million, compared with $18.9 million in the prior-year period. Sanborn said the decline reflected a $7.3 million year-over-year increase in income taxes and a one-time $4 million termination fee tied to a vendor advertising-services contract. The company generated $40.5 million in operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $229.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. Cash operating expenses were $27.2 million, slightly higher than in the second quarter. EverQuote's board authorized a new $50 million share-repurchase program. Under its prior program, which ended in the second quarter, the company repurchased 2.5 million shares for a total of $50 million. Sanborn said EverQuote's capital-allocation priorities include maintaining what he described as a "fortress balance sheet," pursuing targeted investments and acquisitions that can expand its addressable market, and returning capital to shareholders through repurchases. AI investments and Luva launch. Management highlighted the company's expanding AI initiatives, including productivity tools, AI-based bidding products and new consumer-facing offerings. Mendal said engineering teams reduced cycle time by 36% sequentially during the third quarter through use of an agentic coding pipeline. EverQuote continued deploying SmartCampaigns, its AI bidding solution, to additional carriers and local agents. Mendal said the product is designed to improve conversion rates and help the company direct highly targeted policy volume toward customers' performance objectives. The company also introduced an AI-based reporting tool for local agents. During the quarter, EverQuote launched Luva, a separately branded AI-native property-and-casualty insurance shopping platform. Management said Luva is intended to serve consumers seeking a more conversational and research-oriented insurance-comparison experience and will be integrated with large language models and AI commerce agents over time. Mendal said EverQuote is developing applications across platforms including Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic, subject to those platforms' approval processes. He said AI-agent and LLM traffic remains immaterial today, accounting for less than 1% of company traffic, but could increase over time. Management said carriers are still assessing the implications of agentic commerce, including concerns about continuous reshopping, rate transparency, compliance and access to pricing information. EverQuote believes it can help connect consumer demand for AI-assisted insurance shopping with carriers' requirements around pricing, brand representation and distribution controls. Fourth-Quarter outlook. For the fourth quarter, EverQuote expects: * Revenue of $213 million to $223 million, representing 12% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. * Variable marketing dollars of $57 million to $60 million, representing 19% growth at the midpoint. * Adjusted EBITDA of $29 million to $32 million, representing 22% growth at the midpoint. The company expects variable marketing margin to decline sequentially in the fourth quarter as it invests in emerging agentic LLM traffic channels and new solutions intended to support long-term growth. Sanborn said fourth-quarter variable marketing margin provides a reasonable starting point for thinking about 2027, while noting that performance will depend on how newer traffic channels develop. Management said it expects carrier demand to remain healthy into 2027, citing low insurer combined ratios and what it views as the early stages of a prolonged insurance soft-market cycle. EverQuote reiterated its expectation to reach $1 billion in annual revenue within the next one to two years, while continuing to invest in AI-driven products and distribution capabilities.

(Nasdaq: EVER), a leading provider of growth solutions for property and casualty, or P&C, insurance providers, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. "We are generating record results across our key financial metrics as we successfully grow and deepen our relationships with our carrier and agent customers," said Jayme Mendal, Chief Executive Officer of EverQuote.

"We reported a record third quarter, delivering revenue growth of 25% year-over-year, highlighting the strength of our market position as a trusted growth partner for our customers," said Joseph Sanborn, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of EverQuote. "We are focused on accelerating product innovation and unlocking new possibilities to capitalize on the opportunities ahead. Our continued strong growth and execution are enabling us to invest in AI initiatives, while simultaneously generating strong cash flow, maintaining a fortress balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders." Fourth Quarter 2026 Outlook: * Revenue of $213.0 - $223.0 million. * Variable Marketing Dollars of $57.0 - $60.0 million. * Adjusted EBITDA of $29.0 - $32.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for more information. With respect to the Company's expectations under "Fourth Quarter 2026 Outlook" above, the Company has not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance on a consistent basis for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, income taxes and other items the Company believes are non-recurring or not indicative of its core operating performance, because the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss). In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for more information. Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the Company's financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding EverQuote's financial results, the Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; interest income; income taxes; and other items that we believe are non-recurring or not indicative of our core operating performance. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income (loss). The Company monitors and presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing EverQuote's business. In particular, the Company believes that excluding the impact of these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of EverQuote's core operating performance. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate EverQuote's operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in EverQuote's business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that the Company excludes in the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company believes that this financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating EverQuote's operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered together with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss). In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which may reduce the usefulness of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP: | EVERQUOTE, INC.
