Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in our earnings presentation for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) adjusted to exclude interest expense (net of interest income), loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes, amortization expense, share-based compensation, corporate transaction related expenses, and other one-time expenses. By removing these expenses, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a clearer representation of operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA margin is a useful measurement of operating profitability for the same reasons we find Adjusted EBITDA useful and also because it provides a period-to-period comparison of our operating performance.
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure), adjusted to exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization expense, share-based compensation, corporate transaction related expenses, and other one-time expenses, and the related tax effect of those adjustments. By removing these expenses, we believe Adjusted net income provides a clearer representation of operating performance.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is Adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into an equivalent number of shares of common stock, which occurred upon the consummation of our IPO. Similarly, Adjusted basic earnings per share is Adjusted net income divided by basic weighted average shares outstanding, also assuming the conversion of all outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock into an equivalent number of shares of common stock, which occurred upon the consummation of our IPO. By implementing the conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, we believe Adjusted earnings (basic and diluted) per share provides a clearer representation of operating performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measures are diluted earnings per share and basic earnings per share, respectively.
Additionally, we discuss certain key performance indicators, described below, which provide useful information about the Company’s business and the operational factors underlying the Company’s financial performance.
Written Premium is the total premium we placed with insurance programs during a reporting period, less “return premiums” refunded to policyholders due to cancellations, endorsement of policies, or otherwise. We believe written premium is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it is the primary driver of our commission revenue.
Revenue per Employee is revenue for the trailing four quarters, determined in accordance with GAAP, divided by the average number of employees during the trailing four quarters. We monitor this as a metric of scaling growth and believe it to be a leading indicator of sustained profitability and efficiency.
Adjusted EBITDA per employee is Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, for the trailing four quarters divided by the average number of employees during the trailing four quarters. We monitor this as a metric of scaling growth and believe it to be a leading indicator of sustained profitability and efficiency. For further discussion on our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above.
Policy Retention Rate is the percentage of our policyholders who receive renewal offers and who accept the offered renewal term. We monitor the acceptance of renewal offers as an early indicator of price elasticity.
Premium Retention Rate is the premium associated with those accepted renewal offers, as a percentage of the total premium from expiring policies for which renewal offers were made.
Revenue Retention Rate is the percentage of revenue recognized on policies in a given period that is recognized under the renewal terms of those same policies in the subsequent period. We monitor this metric as a comprehensive indicator of renewal performance and the long-term stability of our revenue base, as it reflects the combined effect of policy retention, premium changes, and policy fee income.
Organic revenue and organic revenue growth: We define organic revenue as total revenue determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to remove the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures. We define organic revenue growth as the year-over-year growth in our organic revenue. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report and for the relevant periods presented herein, we have not completed any relevant acquisitions or divestitures, therefore our organic revenue and organic revenue growth reflect our total revenue and total revenue growth, respectively, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Organic revenue and organic revenue growth are also non-GAAP financial measures which are commonly reported by others in the insurance industry. We use “organic revenue” and “organic revenue growth” in this Quarterly Report to facilitate investors’ understanding of our operating performance and comparison with our peers.
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release, our earnings presentation, and the earnings conference call contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this release, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “outlook,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” the negative of these terms, and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about us, include, among others, projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and business strategies, anticipated trends in our business, capital allocation plans, technology initiatives, and other future events or development. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed under the captions entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, once filed, and the other documents that the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at: www.sec.gov and on Neptune’s investor relations website at investors.neptuneflood.com.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

This represents the tax impact using effective tax rates of 26.3% and 25.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These tax rates exclude items that are non-deductible/non-taxable or subject to a specific tax treatment. |
|
(2) |
Assumes the conversion of all 41,850,000 shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into an equivalent number of shares of common stock. |
|
(3) |
Pursuant to the completion of the Company’s IPO on October 2, 2025, the redeemable, convertible preferred stock was no longer outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026. For comparability purposes, this calculation reflects net income that would be distributable to holders of common stock, assuming all redeemable preferred shares had been converted and no longer impacted the numerator. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, this includes $3.4 million of accretion adjustments and $2.0 million of allocations to participating preferred stock, totaling $5.4 million. These adjustments were divided by 93,350,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to calculate the Adjusted earnings (basic and diluted) per share amounts. |
|
(4) |
Other adjustments to earnings (loss) represent amortization expense, share-based compensation, and corporate related expenses. |
|
(5) |
Adjusted earnings per share is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by the applicable weighted average shares outstanding. Individual per-share components above may not sum exactly to the total due to rounding. |
