1.b. Last Insights on LMND

Lemonade's recent performance was negatively impacted by escalating expenses, partly offset by growing net earned premiums and investment income. The company's Q4 2024 results reflect an increase in net earned premiums, driven by its cross-selling strategy and strong customer acquisition. However, higher expenses, including a loss ratio of 83.4%, weighed on the company's profitability. Additionally, Lemonade's AI-driven underwriting model, while innovative, has yet to achieve a significant profitability inflection point, with estimates suggesting 2026 as a potential turning point.

Key Drivers of Growth

The growth in in-force premium was driven by a 24% increase in customer numbers and a 5% rise in premium per customer. The company's car insurance product saw significant growth, with a 40% increase in the quarter, driven by existing customers, effectively resulting in "CAC-less" acquisition. This growth is transformative for the car's unit economics, as is the 16% year-on-year improvement in car's loss ratio, which came in at 76%. The company's investments in automation have paid off, with a superior level of efficiency resulting in an LAE of 7% on average across all products.

Valuation Metrics

To understand what's priced into Lemonade's stock, we can examine some key valuation metrics. The company's Price-to-Book Ratio stands at 10.91, while the Price-to-Sales Ratio is 9.53. The EV/EBITDA ratio is -29.12, indicating that the company's valuation is sensitive to its EBITDA performance. Given the significant growth in revenue and improving EBITDA loss, these metrics suggest that the market is pricing in a high level of growth for the company.

Outlook and Guidance

Lemonade raised its full-year 2025 guidance across in-force premium, gross earned premium, revenue, and EBITDA loss. The company expects to continue its growth trajectory, with in-force premium at December 31 expected to be between $1.218 billion and $1.223 billion. As Daniel Schreiber mentioned, the company is focused on maximizing gross profit dollars rather than taking its foot off the pedal, and is willing to let loss ratio rise in certain segments to spike demand and retention. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 59.4%, indicating a high level of confidence in the company's growth prospects.
