EVERHIGH SIGNALOPPORTUNITY10-K

EverQuote has emerged from auto insurance industry headwinds with substantially improved operating performance and a strengthened balance sheet position.

The company appears to have successfully navigated the auto insurance market downturn that plagued 2022-2023, evidenced by the removal of language about deteriorating underwriting performance and workforce reductions. Management's strategic focus on P&C insurance verticals and exit from health insurance appears to be paying dividends as carrier spending patterns normalize.

P C insurance carriers spent $129 billion in 2024 on marketing and distribution.
These challenges include: Misalignment of providers and consumers, creating an inefficient match between supply and demand A complex, fragmented and opaque market for consumers Inefficient advertising channels for insurance providers Due to these challenges, insurance providers are seeking more efficient ways to connect with consumers, and as a result the internet has become increasingly influential in consumer insurance shopping, and $8 billion of 2024 insurance carriers marketing spend was on digital advertising.
We believe that the continued rise in digital insurance products and shopping experiences enable more personal, end-to-end shopping experiences, products and services, resulting in more consumers shopping for insurance online.
Our two largest customers accounted for 38% and 11%, respectively, of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Sales and Marketing Our sales and marketing efforts are designed to increase engagement by both insurance providers and consumers and enhance their awareness of our company.

REMOVED
General Developments A substantial majority of the referrals made through our marketplace have historically been for automotive insurance.
Starting in late 2021 and continuing throughout 2023, the auto insurance industry experienced deteriorating underwriting performance due to a rise in claims, inflation, and inadequate policy premiums.
This deteriorated underwriting performance caused our insurance carrier customers to reduce spending on new customer acquisition, which had a negative impact on the pricing and demand for consumer referrals in our marketplace throughout 2023.
In 2023, we implemented a workforce reduction plan to improve operating efficiency.
In order to increase our focus on P C insurance verticals, we also sold health insurance-related assets and exited our health insurance vertical, an area that would have required significant capital investment and scale to effectively compete amid an increasingly unpredictable regulatory environment.
