Porch Group reported first‑quarter 2026 revenue of $109.4 million, a 29% year‑over‑year increase that surpassed the consensus estimate of $90.7 million. The company posted a net loss of $4.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $19.7 million, an 18% margin that reflects disciplined cost management. Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $121.1 million, up 44% from the $84.5 million reported in Q1 2025, while the prior year’s net income attributable to Porch was $8.4 million and adjusted EBITDA was $16.9 million.
Insurance Services revenue rose 50% to $74.7 million, driven by rapid premium growth and a higher mix of fee‑and‑commission‑based policies. Software & Data revenue reached $21.9 million, a modest increase that aligns with the company’s focus on expanding its software ecosystem. Gross profit for the quarter was $91 million, yielding an 83% gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA of $19.7 million represented a margin expansion from 16% in Q1 2025.
Matt Ehrlichman, Founder, Chairman and CEO, said, "Porch's playbook is working. We built the foundation in 2025 as we transitioned to a simpler, higher margin, fee‑and‑commission‑based model. Q1 2026 is the first quarter in recent history with a tangible year‑over‑year comparison and the momentum we have is now clear. Rapid premium growth is producing strong revenue growth, with Porch Shareholder Interest up 29% year over year and our Insurance Services segment up 50%." He added that the company was pleased to report a strong start to 2026 and that Q1 results exceeded expectations, prompting a raise in full‑year guidance for shareholder interest revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA.
Management raised its full‑year 2026 revenue outlook to $495 million–$507 million, up from the prior guidance of $475 million–$490 million. The update reflects confidence in continued growth of the reciprocal insurance model and the expanding software ecosystem. The company’s statutory surplus of $165 million supports more than $800 million in premiums, well above the $600 million run‑off‑write‑off target for the year.
The results underscore Porch’s ability to generate cash flow from its fee‑based insurance services while maintaining strong gross margins. The 18% adjusted EBITDA margin, an improvement over the 16% margin in Q1 2025, signals effective cost discipline and pricing power. Headwinds remain in the Software & Data and Consumer Services segments, where growth has been relatively flat due to a challenging housing market, but the company’s focus on AI integration and operational efficiency positions it to capture future upside.
Overall, Porch Group’s Q1 2026 performance demonstrates robust revenue growth, margin expansion, and a positive outlook for the remainder of the year, reinforcing management’s confidence in the company’s strategic trajectory.
