Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 5/5 core metrics

Debt/equity is shown as not meaningful rather than as a negative leverage ratio.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Shareholders' equity was non-positive

    Debt/equity is shown as not meaningful rather than as a negative leverage ratio.

    Why this surfaced

    Same-period reported shareholders' equity was zero or negative; review the balance sheet and capital structure. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • 2 filing risk checks flagged

    Flagged areas: Solvency & liquidity, Dilution.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Operating margin was stable

    Operating margin changed +0.9 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +16.2% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $86M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Debt · 4,063 characters as filed

"Debt On January 8, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the ""2025 Credit Agreement"") providing for an aggregate $300 million term notes payable (the ""2025 Initial Term Loan"") and $75 million revolving credit facility (the ""2025 Revolving Credit Facility""). The 2025 Initial Term Loan matures on January 8, 2032 and the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility matures on January 8, 2030. The Company recorded $6.8 million of debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to the 2025 Initial Term Loan within notes payable and $1.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. On July 9, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2025 Credit Agreement in order to refinance the outstanding balance of the 2025 Initial Term Loan with a new term loan facility (the ""Term B-1 Facility""). The amendment reduced the applicable interest rate on our term loan borrowings under the facility by 0.50% to a rate of Term SOFR plus 3.00%. The Term B-1 Facility is payable in quarterly installments of $0.7 million, with a balloon payment of $280.5 million on January 8, 2032. The 2025 Credit Agreement is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company except for certain excluded assets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $26.0 million drawn against the revolving credit facility and had $49.0 million available to draw. The Term B-1 Facility bears interest a

"Income Taxes GSHD is the sole managing member of GF, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, GF is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by GF is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including GSHD, on a pro rata basis. GSHD is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to GSHD's allocable share of income of GF. Income Tax Expense Tax expense from income taxes was $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to tax expense of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate was 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Tax expense was $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to tax expense of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate was 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the excess tax benefit recognized on stock option exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Deferred Taxes Deferred tax assets at June 30, 2026 were $209.8 million compared to $216.4 million at December 31, 2025. The primary driver of the decrease was a change in the ou

Legal matters · 2,254 characters as filed

Litigation From time to time, GSHD may be involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of the Company's business. The Company records accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of losses, if such an estimate can be made. In the opinion of the Company's management, the likely results of any ongoing legal matters are not expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On November 10, 2022, a verified stockholder class action complaint for declaratory relief, captioned Mickey Dollens v. Goosehead Insurance, Inc., C.A. No. 2022-1018-JTL, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the Dollens Action), alleging certain corporate governance documents adopted by the Company were invalid under Delaware law. On August 8, 2023, the parties entered into a proposed settlement providing for certain non-monetary benefits to the class (i.e., revisions to the Company's Stockholder Agreement). Additionally, the plaintiffs petitioned the Court for attorneys fees and litigation expense

Revenue recognition · 10,748 characters as filed

Revenues Commissions and agency fees The Company earns commissions, which are paid as a percentage of the policy premiums placed by the Company, by performing its obligation to identify, place, and make effective insurance coverage on behalf of its customer, the insured. The Company defines the term of the policy as the contractual period the policy provides insurance coverage to the insured, which is typically one year or less. Commissions earned for the placement of the initial policy term for a given insurance product are recorded as New Business Commissions. New Business Commissions are earned at a point in time on the effective date of the policy, which is when the customers unilateral right to cancel the policy without consideration expires, as the Company has no further performance obligations for the initial term once the policy is placed and made effective. After the initial policy term for a given insurance product, the Company earns Renewal Commissions by assisting the customer to make effective a renewal policy that satisfies the customers current insurance coverage needs. The Company performs this obligation by monitoring the customers policy to ensure a renewal is offered by the carrier and that the client promptly pays the premium. Alternatively, based on the needs of the customer, the Company may assist the customer to adjust coverage terms to satisfy its current insurance coverage needs or the Company may assist the customer to re-shop the insurance coverage

Segment reporting · 1,533 characters as filed

Segment Information The Company is organized into a single reportable segment: insurance distribution. The insurance distribution segment provides clients with access to home, auto, umbrella, motorcycle, flood, and other ancillary insurance products. The Company derives its revenue entirely from within the United States and manages business activities on a consolidated basis. The Companys chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the insurance distribution segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker uses net income, as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, to assess performance and allocate resources for the insurance distribution segment. The significant segment expense categories regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker are the same as those included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is total assets as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to assess performance by examining period-over-period trends, benchmarking to the Company's competitors, and monitoring budget versus actual results. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for

"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (""GAAP""). However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year. The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations of its revenue due to the timing of contingent commission revenue recognition and trends in housing market activity.
