Further, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These forward-looking statements and statements about our beliefs are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the following:
•The announcement and pendency of the mergers contemplated by the Proposed Transaction (as defined herein) may result in disruptions to our business.
•The mergers in the Proposed Transaction (as defined herein) may not be completed within the intended timeframe, or at all, and the failure to complete the mergers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our common stock.
•We have a history of net losses and could continue to incur substantial net losses in the future;
•We may lose existing customers or fail to acquire new customers
•We may require additional capital to support business growth or to satisfy our regulatory capital and surplus requirements, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all;
•The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption to our operations and may negatively impact our business, key metrics, and results of operations in numerous ways that remain unpredictable;
•Severe weather and other catastrophic events, including the effects of climate change, are unpredictable and may have a material adverse effect on our financial results and financial condition;
•We rely on telematics, mobile technology and its digital platform to collect data points that we evaluate in pricing and underwriting insurance policies, managing claims and customer support, and improving business processes, and to the extent regulators prohibit or restrict this collection or use of this data, our business could be harmed;
•Regulatory changes may limit our ability to develop or implement our telematics-based pricing model and/or may eliminate or restrict the confidentiality of our proprietary technology;
•We expect a number of factors to cause our results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis, which may make it difficult to predict future performance;
•Denial of claims or our failure to accurately and timely pay claims could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, brand and prospects;
•Unexpected increases in the frequency or severity of claims may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;
•Failure to maintain our risk-based capital (“RBC”) at the required levels could adversely affect our ability to maintain regulatory authority to conduct our business;
•We are subject to stringent and changing privacy and data security laws, regulations, and standards related to data privacy and security, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our reputation, subject us to significant fines and liability, or adversely affect our business;
•If we are unable to underwrite risks accurately or charge competitive yet profitable rates to our customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected;
•Litigation and legal proceedings filed by or against us and our subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition;
•The insurance business, including the market for automobile, renters’ and homeowners’ insurance, is historically cyclical in nature, and we may experience periods with excess underwriting capacity and unfavorable premium rates, which could adversely affect our business;
•We are subject to extensive regulation and potential further restrictive regulation may increase our operating costs and limit our growth; and
•Our actual incurred losses may be greater than our loss and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) reserves, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Additional discussion of the risks, uncertainties and other factors described above, as well as other risks and uncertainties material to our business, can be found under "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we encourage you to refer to that additional discussion.

METROMILE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
Metromile, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) formerly known as INSU Acquisition Corp. II (“INSU”), was incorporated in Delaware on October 11, 2018. INSU was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
The registration statement for INSU’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective on September 2, 2020. On September 8, 2020 INSU consummated the IPO of 23,000,000 units (“Units”), and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Common Stock”) included in the Units sold (the “Public Shares”), which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, INSU consummated the sale of 540,000 units (the “Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to the sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), generating gross proceeds of $5.4 million. Transaction costs amounted to $14.2 million, consisting of $4.0 million in cash underwriting fees, $9.8 million of deferred underwriting fees and $0.4 million of other offering costs. Following the closing of the IPO on September 8, 2020, $230.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust
Account”), which was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by INSU.
Enterprise Business Solutions Held for Sale
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had committed to a plan to sell its Enterprise Business Solutions segment and as such the assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale in the Company's consolidated balance sheets beginning with the period ended March 31, 2022. The business does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation; therefore, the results are reflected within continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations. For additional information related to the held for sale business, please see Note 16, Business Disposition.
Acquisition of Metromile, Inc. by Lemonade, Inc.
On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Lemonade, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lemonade”), Citrus Merger Sub A, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lemonade (“Acquisition Sub I”) and Citrus Merger Sub B, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Lemonade (“Acquisition Sub II”), pursuant to which (i) Acquisition Sub I will merge with and into Metromile (the “First Merger” and the effective time of the First Merger, the “First Effective Time”), with Metromile continuing as the surviving entity (the “Initial Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) the Initial Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Acquisition Sub II (the “Second Merger”), with Acquisition Sub II continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of Lemonade (the First Merger, the Second Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement, collectively, the “Proposed Transaction”). The Proposed Transaction implies a fully diluted equity value of approximately $500 million, or an enterprise value of about $340 million net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as September 30, 2021. In accordance with the Agreement, at the First Effective Time, each share of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 0.05263(the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Lemonade, par value $0.00001 per share (“Lemonade Common Stock”). The Proposed Transaction is conditioned on customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022. The applicable waiting period for the Proposed Transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, has expired and on February 1, 2022, the Proposed Transaction was approved by our stockholders.
For additional information related to the Proposed Transaction, please see Note 4, Business Combinations included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021 as well as the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on December 29, 2021.
Business Combination
On February 9, 2021, the Company consummated a merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated November 24, 2020, and as amended on January 12, 2021 and February 8, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among INSU, INSU II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of INSU (“Merger Sub”) and MetroMile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Metromile”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Metromile, with Legacy Metromile surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger,” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name to Metromile, Inc., and Legacy Metromile changed its name to Metromile Operating Company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “INSU” refer to the historical operations of INSU prior to the Closing, and references to the “Company,” “Metromile” and “Metromile Operating Company” refer to the historical operations of Legacy Metromile and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Closing and the business of the combined company and its subsidiaries following the Closing.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, INSU, who was the legal acquirer, is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Metromile Operating Company is treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the fact that Metromile Operating Company’s stockholders prior to the Merger have a majority of the voting power of the Company, Metromile Operating Company’s senior management now comprise substantially all of the senior management of the Company, the relative size of Metromile Operating Company compared to the Company, and that Metromile Operating Company’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Metromile Operating Company issued stock for the net assets of INSU, which are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and Metromile Operating Company’s financial statements became those of the Company.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, at the closing, each share of INSU’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), converted into one share of INSU’s Class A Common Stock. After the Closing and following the effectiveness of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, each share of Class A Common Stock was automatically reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), without any further action by the Company or any stockholder thereof.
On February 9, 2021, a number of purchasers (each, a “Subscriber”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of 17,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $170.0 million, pursuant to separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) entered into effective as of November 24, 2020. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares. The sale of PIPE Shares was consummated concurrently with the Closing.
Description of Business after the Business Combination
The Company, through Metromile Operating Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Metromile Insurance Services LLC (the “GA Subsidiary”), sells pay-per-mile auto insurance to consumers in eight states: California, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, and Arizona. Metromile Operating Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Metromile Insurance Company (the “Insurance Company”), which focuses on property and casualty insurance. In January 2019, Metromile Operating Company formed Metromile Enterprise Solutions, LLC (“Enterprise”), a wholly owned subsidiary, which focuses on selling its insurance solution technology to third party customers.
The Insurance Company provides auto insurance to customers with premiums based on a flat rate plus an adjustable rate based on actual miles driven. To record miles driven, the GA Subsidiary may provide drivers with a telematics device, the Metromile Pulse, which plugs into a car’s on-board diagnostic system to capture mileage.
The GA Subsidiary acts as a full-service insurance General Agent (“GA”). As a full-service GA, the subsidiary provides all policy pricing, binding, and servicing (payments and customer service) for the policyholders. Until late 2016, the GA Subsidiary underwriting carrier was National General Insurance (“NGI”) and its related carriers. The GA Subsidiary began transitioning NGI-issued policies upon renewal in late 2016 to the Insurance Company and has only a small number of policies with NGI as of March 31, 2022. Policies underwritten by the Insurance Company are binded by the GA as well as through a network of independent agents.
NGI handles claims for the GA Subsidiary’s policies underwritten by NGI and its related carriers, for which it pays NGI a fee for the LAE. NGI bears the risk of loss under these policies. Accordingly, the Company has no exposure to claims that would require an accrual for those NGI-related losses.
The Insurance Company bears risk of loss under all insurance policies it underwrites. The financial statements include reserves for future claims based on actuarial estimates for the Insurance Company. The Loss and LAE reserves as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 were $76.9 million and $73.4 million, respectively.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance GAAP and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). References to the Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) included hereinafter refer to the Accounting Standards Codification and Updates established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as the source of authoritative GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Metromile, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("the Company’s 2021 Annual Report").
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Consistent with 2021, the Company's liquidity and capital resources were not materially impacted by COVID-19 and related economic conditions during the first three months of 2022.
While these impacts have moderated since the beginning of the pandemic, there remains a risk that previous disruptions could return or new issues emerge as time amidst the pandemic perpetuates. The Company will continue to monitor and proactively adapt to the changing conditions and effects of COVID-19, but given the continued uncertainty about the duration or magnitude of the pandemic, it is not possible to reliably estimate the impact on the Company's financial condition, operations, and workforce.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to the prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation. In particular, accounts receivable, and digital assets, net have been combined with prepaid expenses and other assets into a single line on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows. The reclassifications had no effect on stockholders’ deficit or net loss after taxes as previously reported.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022, the interim consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ (deficit) equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022 are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2022 and the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future interim or annual periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates estimates, including those related to contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The Company’s principal estimates include: unpaid losses and LAE reserves; the fair value of investments; the fair value of stock-based awards; the fair value of the warrant liability; premium refunds to policyholders; reinsurance recoverable on unpaid loss; and the valuation allowance for income taxes. Because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing and likelihood of possible outcomes, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report except as set forth below:
Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale
A business is classified as held for sale when management having the authority to approve the action commits to a plan to sell the business, the sale is probable to occur during the next 12 months at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and certain other criteria are met. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. When the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized and updated each reporting period as appropriate. The results of operations of business classified as held for sale are reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results.
Adoption of Accounting Standards
For information regarding accounting standards that the Company adopted during the periods presented, see Note 1 of notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The standard is effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022 and may be applied at the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating this new standard and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
This standard may be elected and applied prospectively over time from March, 2020 through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company is evaluating the method of adoption and impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Government Assistance
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either (1) prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application or (2) retrospectively to those transactions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are demand and money market accounts and other highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Demand and money market accounts are at stated values. Fair values for other cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 and are based upon appropriate valuation methodology.
Marketable Securities — Available-for-sale
The Company classifies highly liquid money market funds, U.S. Treasury bonds and certificates of deposit within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets and upon models that take into consideration such market-based factors as recent sales, risk-free yield curves, and prices of similarly rated bonds. Commercial paper, corporate bonds, corporate debt securities, repurchase agreements, and asset backed securities are classified within Level 2 because they are valued using inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded. The Company did not hold any securities classified within Level 3 as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021.
Assets measured on a recurring basis at fair value, primarily related to marketable securities, included in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 are set forth below (in thousands):

Public and Private Warrants
At the Closing, Metromile Operating Company acquired the net liabilities from INSU, including warrants exercisable for common stock. The Company estimated the fair value of warrants exercisable for common stock measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the respective dates using the public trading price, for the Public warrants, and the Black-Scholes option valuation model, for the Private placement warrants (together with the public warrants, the “Warrants”), respectively. The Black-Scholes option valuation model inputs are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, the risk-free interest rates, the expected dividends, and the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s underlying stock. These estimates, especially the expected volatility, are highly judgmental and could differ materially in the future.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. The Company considers its Public warrants to be Level 1 liabilities as it uses publicly and readily available information to measure the fair value of the warrants. For the Company's Private placement warrants, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date and as such are classified as Level 2 liabilities.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) (in thousands):
| | | | | |
| |
| |
| |
Balance at December 31, 2020 | $ | 83,652 | |
Increase in fair value of warrants | 47,062 | |
Exercise of preferred stock warrants prior to Business Combination | (130,714) | |
Public and Private placement Warrants acquired in Business Combination | 45,623 | |
Decrease in fair value of Public and Private placement Warrants | (44,467) | |
Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | 1,156 | |
Decrease in fair value of warrants | (131) | |
| |
Balance at March 31, 2022 | $ | 1,025 | |
The fair value of the Private placement warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions for values as of March 31, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Estimated Fair Value of Warrants as of March 31, 2022 | | Exercise Price
| | Dividend Yield
| | Volatility
| | Risk-Free Interest Rate
| | Expected Term
|
| (in thousands) | | (in whole dollars) | | | | | (in years) |
Private placement warrants | $ | 28.8 | | | $ | 11.50 | | | 0 | % | | 75 | % | | 2.44 | % | | 3.86 |
In connection with the Merger, each of the Metromile Operating Company convertible preferred stock warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2020 was exercised for shares of Metromile Operating Company common stock. Therefore, there were no convertible preferred stock warrants outstanding after the Closing.
Through the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited), there were no transfers to or from any Level. The carrying amounts of accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate their fair values because of the relatively short periods until they mature or are required to be settled.
3. Marketable Securities
The Company has investments in certain debt securities that have been classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. These investments are included in both assets for securities with a maturity of one-year or less and assets for securities with a maturity of more than one-year. These securities are held in the Insurance Company and shown as restricted given that the transfer of these assets is subject to the approval of the state regulators. As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021, deposits with various states consisted of bonds, cash and cash equivalents with carrying values of $5.2 million in both periods.
Following the adoption of accounting guidance for credit losses on January 1, 2021, when marketable securities are in an unrealized loss position and the Company does not record an intent-to-sell impairment, the Company will record an allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for the portion of the unrealized loss due to a credit loss. Any remaining unrealized loss on a fixed maturity after recording an ACL is the non-credit amount and is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). The ACL is the excess of the amortized cost over the greater of the Company's best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows or the security's fair value. The ACL cannot exceed the unrealized loss and, therefore, it may fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the fixed maturity if the fair value is greater than the Company's best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows. The initial ACL and any subsequent changes are recorded in net realized capital gains and losses. The ACL is written off against the amortized cost in the period in which all or a portion of the related fixed maturity is determined to be uncollectible. For further information refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.
As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company did not recognize credit losses.

The following table summarizes, for all fixed maturities classified as available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022, the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by length of time those securities have been continuously in an unrealized loss position. The fair value amounts reported in the tables are estimates that are prepared using the process described in Note 2, Fair Value. The Company also relies upon estimates of several factors in its review and evaluation of individual investments, using the process described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report in determining whether a credit loss impairment exists.

4. Business Combination
INSU
As described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, the Merger with INSU was consummated on February 9, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). For financial accounting and reporting purposes under GAAP, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible asset recorded. As a result, the historical operations of Metromile Operating Company are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Metromile Operating Company prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company and Metromile Operating Company following the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Metromile Operating Company at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.
In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Metromile Operating Company stockholders in connection with the recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Metromile Operating Company redeemable convertible preferred stock and Metromile Operating Company common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement. Activity within the statement of stockholder’s equity for the issuances and repurchases of Metromile Operating Company redeemable preferred stock, were also retroactively converted to Metromile Operating Company common stock.
The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands).

Lemonade
As described above in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies the Company and Lemonade have entered into the Agreement, pursuant to which Lemonade will acquire the Company in an all-stock transaction that implies a fully diluted equity value of approximately $500 million, as of November 5, 2021 which was the last full trading day prior to public announcement of the Proposed Transaction, or an enterprise value of about $340 million net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021.
In accordance with the Agreement, at the First Effective Time, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 0.05263 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Lemonade, par value $0.00001 per share (“Lemonade Common Stock”).
At the First Effective Time, (i) each Metromile stock option that is held by an individual who, as of November 8, 2021, was not employed or providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the product of (1) the average of the volume weighted average trading prices per share of Lemonade common stock on NYSE on each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is three trading days prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (the “Per Metromile Share Price”), over the (2) the per share exercise price of such Metromile stock option, multiplied by (B) the total number of shares subject to such Metromile stock option; (ii) each other Metromile stock option shall be assumed by Lemonade and automatically converted into a stock option to acquire number of shares of Lemonade common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares subject to the Metromile stock option and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with an exercise price per share of Lemonade common stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the per share exercise price of the Metromile stock option divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio; (iii) each award of Metromile restricted stock units that (A) is held by any non-employee director of Metromile or (B) vests based on the achievement of one or more performance criteria shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Per Metromile Share Price in respect of each share of common stock underlying such Metromile restricted stock units (in the case of performance-based Metromile restricted stock units, based on actual performance); (iv) each other award of Metromile restricted stock units shall be assumed by Lemonade and automatically converted into an award of Lemonade restricted stock units covering a number of shares of Lemonade common stock equal to (A) the number of shares of Metromile common stock underlying such Metromile restricted stock units multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio; and (v) each Metromile warrant exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock shall be assumed by Lemonade and converted into a corresponding warrant denominated in shares of Lemonade Common Stock (with the number of warrants and exercise price being adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio). Except as otherwise set forth above, each Metromile stock option, restricted stock unit award, and warrant assumed by Lemonade shall continue to have the same terms and conditions as applied immediately prior to the First Effective Time.
The consummation of the Proposed Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, some of which have been completed, including among others (i) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 registering the shares of Lemonade Common Stock issuable in the Proposed Transaction and absence of any stop order or proceedings by the SEC with respect thereto; (ii) the adoption of the Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock; (iii) the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iv) receipt of other material regulatory consents and approvals; (v) the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of Lemonade Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Agreement; (vi) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the Proposed Transaction; (vii) subject to specified materiality standards, the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each party; (viii) the compliance with or performance by the other party in all material respects of the covenants in the Agreement; and (ix) the absence of a material adverse effect on each party.

The Company has agreed to various customary covenants and agreements, including, among others, agreements to conduct business in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the agreement and the effective time of the
Proposed Transaction. The Company does not believe these restrictions will impact the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs, or capital expenditure requirements.
As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company has incurred $3.8 million in transaction costs, $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and the remainder in 2021, in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

During all periods presented the amortization expense was included as part of sales, marketing and other acquisition costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
6. Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending reserve balances for losses and LAE, net of reinsurance recoverable, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022 (unaudited) (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |

Plus reinsurance recoverable | 4,408 | | | 8,694 | |
Balance at end of period | $ | 76,916 | | | $ | 61,581 | |
These reserve estimates are generally the result of ongoing analysis of recent loss development trends and emerging historical experience. Original estimates are increased or decreased as additional information becomes known regarding individual claims. In setting reserves, the Company reviewed its loss data to estimate expected loss development. Management believes that the use of sound actuarial methodology applied to its analyses of historical experience provides a reasonable estimate of future losses. However, actual future losses may differ from the Company’s estimates,
and future events beyond the control of management, such as changes in law, judicial interpretations of law and inflation, may favorably or unfavorably impact the ultimate settlement of the Company’s losses and LAE.
The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when estimating liabilities for losses and LAE. While anticipated price increases due to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs, the increase in average severities of claims is caused by a number of factors that vary with the individual type of policy written. Future average severities are projected based on historical trends adjusted for implemented changes in underwriting standards, policy provisions, and general economic trends.
The estimation of unpaid losses and LAE reserves is based on existing factors at the date of estimation.
Accordingly, future events may result in ultimate losses and LAE significantly varying from a reasonable provision as of the date of estimation. Unfavorable development of claims in future years could result in a significant negative impact on operations, stockholders’ surplus, and risk-based capital. Such development, if not offset by other increases in stockholders’ surplus, could result in the insurance departments of the state of domicile taking regulatory actions against the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company experienced unfavorable development on losses and LAE from current and prior accident years as a result of higher severity from loss cost trends for the current year. The Company has not had any unfavorable prior year claim experience on retrospectively rated policies. In 2021, the Company experienced unfavorable development on losses and LAE from prior accident years as a result of higher severity for the injury coverages. The Company has not had any unfavorable prior year claim experience on retrospectively rated policies.
7. Reinsurance
During the periods presented, the Company used reinsurance contracts to protect itself from losses due to concentration of risk and to manage its operating leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had commuted all of its reinsurance agreements. For further discussion of the reinsurance agreements in place as of March 31, 2021, see Note 10, Reinsurance of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K Annual Report.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Swiss Reinsurance America Corporation ("Swiss Re") and Mapfre Re, Compania de Reaseguros, S.A ("Mapfre"). On a prospective basis, under the terms of the transaction, 30% of the Company's gross written premiums, losses, and certain LAE expenses are ceded to the reinsurers through June 30, 2023.
The insurance company was not relieved of its primary obligations to policyholders as a result of any reinsurance agreements. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The credit risk associated with the Company’s reinsurance contracts was mitigated by carefully selecting its reinsurers and monitoring their financial strength ratings. The 2022 reinsurance counterparties and their A.M. Best financial strength ratings are as follows: Swiss Re (A+) and, Mapfre (A).
Reinsurance recoverables are presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of the allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance (“ACL”), if any. As of March 31, 2022, no ACL is required on these balances. The Company estimates the ACL based on the amount of reinsurance recoverables exposed to loss multiplied by estimated factors for the probability of default and the amount of loss given default. The probability of default is assigned based on each reinsurer's credit rating. Of the total reinsurance recoverables at March 31, 2022, all were rated by A.M. Best Company. Credit ratings are reviewed on a quarterly basis and any significant changes are reflected in an updated estimate. The loss given default factors are based on a study of historical recovery rates for general creditors as estimated through multiple economic cycles.
The effect of the Company’s reinsurance agreements on premiums, loss and LAE related to the insurance company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows (in thousands):

8. Leases, Commitments, and Contingencies
Leases
Metromile has non-cancellable and cancellable operating lease agreements for two real estate locations in Tempe, Arizona and its corporate headquarters in San Francisco, California with various expiration dates through 2030. The right-of-use asset as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) was $13.8 million and is included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) was $18.4 million and is included in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Metromile does not recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability arising from leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company’s lease payments consisted primarily of fixed rental payments for the right to use the underlying leased assets over the lease terms. The Company is responsible for operating expenses over base operating expenses as defined in each lease agreement. The weighted average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate of the Company’s operating leases is 7.3 years and 5.1% at March 31, 2022 (unaudited). The weighted average remaining lease term does not include any renewal options at the election of the Company.
Litigation
Shareholder Matters
The Company and/or its current and/or former directors and/or executive officers are named as defendants in a number of lawsuits initiated by putative holders of Metromile, Inc. common stock. Following the Agreement and announcement thereof, multiple complaints were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors alleging that the Company’s disclosures concerning the Lemonade transaction were incomplete. The Company also received demands to inspect its books and records under Delaware General Corporation Law Section 220, and one stockholder commenced litigation to enforce inspection rights. All of the foregoing complaints have been voluntarily dismissed as moot, with the plaintiffs reserving their rights to seek a fee in connection with each respective litigation. At this time an estimate of the probable loss or range of loss cannot be made.
9. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company had authorized a total of 640,000,000 shares for issuance as common stock. As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company had 130,183,262 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company had authorized a total of 10,000,000 shares for issuance as preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions, and voting rights of those shares. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
10. Public and Private Warrants
As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company had 7,666,646 public warrants and 180,000 private placement warrants outstanding. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a
price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing on September 8, 2021, which was the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from INSU’s IPO closing date. The public warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may call the public warrants for redemption:
•in whole or in part;
•at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
•Upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
•if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If the Company calls the public warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.
The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price.
11. Stock Option Plans
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company granted 819,227 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2021 Plan which are conditional based on continued employment or service for a specified period. Compensation cost related to RSU grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is calculated using the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company recorded compensation expense of $5.0 million related to non-performance based RSUs.
A summary of the Company’s RSUs as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) is presented in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of RSUs | | Weighted-Average Fair Value |
Balance at December 31, 2021 | 7,241,980 | | | $ | 8.19 | |
Granted | 819,227 | | | 1.28 | |
Vested | (496,366) | | | 10.15 | |
Forfeited | (620,551) | | | 6.03 | |
Balance at March 31, 2022 | 6,944,290 | | | $ | 7.43 | |
As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), there was $48.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.55 years. The total grant date fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) was $5.0 million.
Performance Based Awards
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had issued 150,000 outstanding performance-based awards (“PSUs”) to Dan Preston, Metromile’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). As of the Closing, the performance-based provision was achieved for the outstanding performance-based awards as the Company completed a change in control event, and the Company recognized the expense related to these PSUs on the Closing date as there were no remaining vesting provisions. As a result, the Company recorded $2.5 million in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (unaudited).
During 2021, the Company issued 2,216,870 PSUs, net of forfeitures, most of which each have a term of five years subject to continuous services by each holder. One third of PSUs that vest are based on a specific number of policies in force achieved by the Company. One third of the PSUs that vest are based on the Company achieving positive operating cash flow for a period of at least one financial quarter. One third of the PSUs vest based on a market condition of the Company achieving a specific price per share for at least 20 days in a 30-day trading window. Once the performance targets are met, the PSUs that relate to the specific performance target vest immediately. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company had recorded $0.1 million in expense from the PSUs related to the market condition. None of the performance conditions were probable of being satisfied as of March 31, 2022 and, therefore, there is no unrecognized stock compensation related to PSUs. The Company did not grant any PSU's in the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited).
2011 Stock Plan
In 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of stock options to officers, directors, employees, and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the 2011 Plan may be Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”) or non-statutory Stock Options (“NSO”) as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the option grant. The remaining unallocated shares reserved under the 2011 Plan were cancelled and no new awards will be granted under the 2011 Plan. Awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan were assumed by the Company upon the closing and continue to be governed by the terms of the 2011 Plan.
2021 Stock Plan
In connection with the Closing, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), under which 38,018,247 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance for ISOs. The 2021 Plan allows for the issuance of ISOs, NSOs, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance awards. The Board of Directors determines the period over which options become exercisable and options generally vest over a four-year period. The 2021 Plan became effective immediately following the closing.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant or modification. The Company amortizes the estimated fair value to stock compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the option. The following is a description of the significant assumptions used in the option pricing model:
•Expected term — The expected term is the period of time when granted options are expected to be outstanding. In determining the expected term of options, the Company utilized the midpoint between the vesting date and contractual expiration date.
•Volatility — Because the Company’s stock has limited trading history, the Company calculates volatility by using the historical stock prices of comparable public companies.
•Risk-free interest rate — The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the rate of treasury securities with the same term as the options.
•Forfeiture rate — The weighted average forfeiture rate of unvested options.
•Expected dividends — The Company does not have plans to pay cash dividends in the future. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited). The following assumptions were used to estimate the value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021:
| | | | | |
| Year ended December 31, 2021 |
Forfeiture rate | 26.2 | % |
Volatility | 62.00 | % |
Expected term (years) | 5.33 |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.53 | % |
Expected dividends | — | |

Vested and expected as of March 31, 2022 | 1,440,785 | | | $ | 3.00 | | | 7.90 | | $ | — | |
The fair value of stock options granted are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the related vesting periods. As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), there was approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the Plan, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over an average period of 1.95 years.
The following table illustrates stock-based compensation expense for employee and non-employee RSUs and options for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited) (in thousands).

12. Income Taxes
The consolidated effective tax rate for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited), was 0%. The main driver of the difference between the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate for both periods was primarily related to a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.
13. Segment and Geographic Information
The Company operates in the following two reportable segments, which are the same as its operating segments:
–Insurance Services. Providing insurance policies for automobile owners
–Enterprise Business Solutions. Providing access to its developed technology under SaaS arrangements along with professional services to third party customers.
Operating segments are based upon the nature of the Company’s business and how its business is managed. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its CEO. The CODM uses the Company’s operating segment financial information to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of the Company’s assets on a segment basis for internal management reporting and, therefore, such information is not presented.
Contribution is used, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments. Segment contribution is segment revenue less the related costs of revenue and sales and marketing expenses. It excludes certain operating expenses that are not allocated to segments because they are separately managed at the consolidated corporate level. These unallocated costs include stock-based compensation expense, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses such as legal and accounting.
The assets and liabilities of the Enterprise Business Solutions segment have been classified as held for sale in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022. As the Enterprise Business Solutions operations do not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation, operating results from the segment will continue to be reported in continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations for the period ended March 31, 2022.

14. Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share calculations and potentially dilutive security amounts for all periods prior to the Merger have been retrospectively adjusted to the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Merger to effect the reverse recapitalization. Historically, reported weighted average shares outstanding have been multiplied by 1.01547844, which is the share exchange ratio established by the Merger Agreement.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to the Company's common stockholders:

15. Related-Party Transactions
In August 2014, the Company loaned the CEO $0.4 million with interest at 3.09% and adjusted to 1.5% in April 2020, which was used to early exercise stock options issued to the CEO and was due at the earlier of one year after termination of employment, upon an Initial Public Offering or change in control, or ten years from the date issued. The loan was full recourse, and also collateralized by the underlying shares of common stock. For accounting under GAAP, the note receivable is presented as contra-equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This loan was paid in full in February 2021 and is no longer outstanding.
In March 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party under which the Company developed proprietary software solutions and provides access to and use of such software solutions and related services. In July 2018, the third party became an investor of the Company as part of the Series E convertible preferred stock Financing. During both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited), the Company recognized $1.0 million of revenue from the investor. The Company had $1.5 million and $0 million in accounts receivable balances from the investor as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company continues to enter into contracts with the investor related to the Company’s Enterprise Business Solutions (see Note 13, Segment and Geographic Information).
An executive of Hudson, who the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Security Agreement with in 2021 (see Note 11, Notes Payable, net in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K), is on the Company’s Board of Directors. This loan was repaid in March 2021 and is no longer outstanding.
16. Business Disposition
Sale of Metromile Enterprise
As of March 31, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to sell its Enterprise Business Solutions segment. The assets and liabilities of Enterprise Business Solutions have been classified as held for sale in the Company's consolidated balance sheets beginning with the period ended March 31, 2022. Revenues and earnings are not material to the Company's Consolidated Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited). Under GAAP accounting guidance, only disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift and that have a major
effect on a reporting entity’s operations and financial results are reported as discontinued operations. Because Metromile’s primary business continues to be property and casualty insurance, as well as the immaterial expected impact on the Company’s ongoing results of operations, the sale of Enterprise Business Solutions was not reported as a discontinued operation. The business does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation; therefore, the results are reflected within continuing operations on the consolidated statement of operations.
The pending sale did not result in an estimated loss on the sale, and as such, no accrual for the estimated before tax loss is included as a reduction of the carrying value of assets held for sale in the Company's Condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited).
The carrying value of assets and liabilities to be transferred in connection with the sale is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
At its core, insurance financially protects the insured customer from the occurrence of specific future events. If these events can be more accurately estimated, using data and data science, then the insurance provided can be more accurately priced — lower likelihood events would cause the price of insurance to go down and higher likelihood events would cause the price of insurance to go up. The proliferation of sensor data, from cars, mobile phones, and elsewhere, means we have a greater ability to estimate the likelihood of future events and, thus, help many customers who are overpaying for insurance save money.
We founded Metromile in 2011 to realize this opportunity and tackle the broken auto insurance industry. With data science as our foundation, we offer our insurance customers real time, personalized auto insurance policies, priced and billed by the mile, with rates based on precisely how and how much they actually drive, instead of using the industry standard approximations and estimates that make prices unfair for most customers.
Through our digitally native offering, built around the needs of the modern driver, we believe our per-mile insurance policies save our customers, on average, 47% over what they were paying their previous auto insurer. We base this belief on data our customers self-reported in 2018 with respect to premiums paid to providers before switching to Metromile.
We believe the opportunity for our personalized per-mile insurance product is significant. Federal Highway Administration data indicates that approximately 35% of drivers drive more than half the total miles driven. We believe there is a correlation between the number of miles driven and the number of insurable losses. An October 2016 report by the Insurance Information Institute noted that the increase in claims frequency appears directly linked to the increase in the number of miles driven. Notwithstanding the relationship between miles driven and claims, auto insurance premiums have historically been priced based on a driver’s “class” — and drivers are charged the same basic premium rate as others in their class no matter the actual miles driven. In the traditional pricing model, a driver’s age, credit score, accident history, and geography influence the premium paid more than the actual miles driven. Thus, the 35% of drivers who account for more than half the total miles driven are not paying premiums based on how often they are behind the wheel and increasing the potential for an insurable loss claim. We believe the traditional pricing model is inherently unfair to the majority of drivers — the 65% of drivers who drive less than half the miles driven — as they are effectively subsidizing the minority of drivers who are high-mileage drivers. By offering auto insurance using a per-mile rate and then billing each customer monthly based on their actual miles driven, we are able to provide significant savings to the 65% of drivers who drive less than half the miles driven. Customers can simply use their connected car or use The Pulse to share their data with us — which includes miles driven, and in certain states where permitted by insurance regulators (four of the eight in which we currently operate), driving habits, such as phone use, speeding, hard-braking, accelerating, cornering, and location. Our customers are able to choose when and how to drive and share this information with us to realize these data driven savings every day.
The U.S. auto insurance market is massive, dominated by insurers stuck on legacy technology infrastructure who offer antiquated services. U.S. personal auto insurers write approximately $250 billion of premiums each year, with no carrier currently achieving more than 20% market share. We believe we are strategically positioned to succeed as industry incumbents struggle to meet the significant structural changes underway in an increasingly digital world. The advent of mobile phones has revolutionized modern mobility, while connected and autonomous technologies are drastically
changing consumer relationships. As we scale and accumulate more data, we believe that we can deliver increasingly better service, pricing and experiences for customers across all stages of the policy lifecycle.
Additionally, with the per-mile insurance that Metromile provides, customers are incentivized to drive less and choose more environmentally friendly transportation methods. We found that after customers switch to per-mile insurance, they tend to decrease their overall miles driven. Not only does this equate to a lower bill, but also a significant reduction in carbon emissions.
Recent Developments
On November 8, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Lemonade, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lemonade”), Citrus Merger Sub A, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lemonade (“Acquisition Sub I”) and Citrus Merger Sub B, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Lemonade (“Acquisition Sub II”), pursuant to which (i) Acquisition Sub I will merge with and into Metromile (the “First Merger” and the effective time of the First Merger, the “First Effective Time”), with Metromile continuing as the surviving entity (the “Initial Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) the Initial Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Acquisition Sub II (the “Second Merger”), with Acquisition Sub II continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of Lemonade (the First Merger, the Second Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement, collectively, the “Proposed Transaction”). The Proposed Transaction implies a fully diluted equity value of approximately $500 million, or an enterprise value of about $340 million net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as September 30, 2021. In accordance with the Agreement, at the First Effective Time, each share of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 0.05263 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Lemonade, par value $0.00001 per share (“Lemonade Common Stock”). Although the applicable waiting period for the Proposed Transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, has expired and we have received approval of the Proposed Transaction from our stockholders, the Proposed Transaction is conditioned on certain additional customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022.
For additional information related to the Proposed Transaction, please see Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021 as well as the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on December 29, 2021.
Our Model
The traditional auto insurance industry is focused on charging customers static insurance rates based on a “class” of driver, which is determined based on a set of variables that approximate and estimate risk. The traditional approach requires little ongoing customer engagement and requires manual claims servicing, which results in lower gross margins. In contrast, our model is digitally native, automated, and built using predictive models. Our product provides customized rates for each individual driver, using telematics data and proprietary predictive models to assess risk and determine pricing for each customer, while billing customers based on their actual miles driven. We have automated the claims approval process, resulting in higher margins, and reduced fraud rates through real-time reporting from telematics devices, resulting in lower loss ratios.
We have experienced strong growth since inception; however, our focus has been on prioritizing unit economics rather than solely focusing on revenue growth through increased net losses. Our priority has been on developing a durable business advantage.
Total revenue increased from $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our gross profit/(loss), defined as total revenue as adjusted for losses and LAE, policy servicing expense and other and amortization of capitalized software, and which is impacted by our reinsurance arrangements, decreased from $(2.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $(10.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our accident period contribution profit/(loss), a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes from gross profit/(loss) the results of prior period development on loss and LAE, decreased from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $(4.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 largely due to an increase in losses, despite an increase in direct written and earned premium for both periods. Accident period refers to the period in which the loss occurs, and estimates are made to determine the ultimate expected cost of that loss. These estimates are reassessed each subsequent period, and the movement from the initial estimate of that accident period is known as prior period development. We view accident period contribution margin as the most relevant metric of current product profitability and use accident period contribution margin to consistently evaluate the variable contribution to our business from insurance operations from period to period based on the most current product profitability. Contribution profit/(loss), a non-GAAP financial measure that includes the results of prior period development accident period contribution profit/(loss), decreased from $(1.9) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $(4.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We use contribution profit/(loss) as a key measure of our progress towards profitability and to consistently evaluate the variable contribution to our business from insurance operations from period to period. See the section entitled “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information regarding our use of accident period contribution profit/(loss) and contribution profit/(loss)and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.
Reinsurance
We review our need to obtain reinsurance to help manage our exposure to property and casualty insurance risks.
The reinsurance arrangement covering the periods May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and May 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019 covered 85% of our renewal policies and beginning May 1, 2019, the reinsurance arrangements expanded to also include new policies. Thus, from May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2021, we ceded a larger percentage of our premium than in prior periods, resulting in a significant decrease in our revenues as reported under GAAP. In addition, under the reinsurance agreements from various years, LAE was ceded at a fixed rate ranging from 3% to 6% of ceded earned premium. In February 2021, we commuted 67% of our reinsurance program, resulting in 34.2% of the book being ceded as of March 2021. As of March 31, 2022 we have commuted the remainder of the aforementioned agreements, and entered into new reinsurance programs effective January 2022 with Swiss Reinsurance America Corporation ("Swiss Re") and Mapfre Re, Compania de Reaseguros, S.A ("Mapfre"). For additional information, please see Note 7, Reinsurance, to our consolidated financial statements.
As we change our reinsurance arrangements, whereby the terms and structures may vary widely, our prior results, impacted by reinsurance, may not be a good indicator of future performance, including the fluctuations experienced in gross profit. Thus, we use accident period contribution profit/(loss) and contribution profit/(loss) as key measures of our performance.
Key Performance Indicators
We regularly review key operating and financial performance indicators to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial and operational measures are useful in evaluating our performance, in addition to our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the section entitled “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information regarding our use of accident period contribution profit/(loss), contribution profit/(loss), accident period loss ratio and accident period LAE ratio and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Accident Period LAE Ratio | 18.3 | % | 11.5 | % | | | |
Policies in Force
We define policies in force as the number of current and active policyholders as of the period end date. We view policies in force as an important metric to assess our financial performance because policy growth drives our revenue growth, increases brand awareness and market penetration, generates additional data to continue to improve the performance of our platform, and provides key data to assist strategic decision making for our company.
Direct Earned Premium per Policy
We define direct earned premium per policy as the ratio of direct earned premium divided by the average policies in force for the period, presented on an annualized basis. We view premiums per policy as an important metric because it is a reliable indicator of revenue earned in any given period, and growth in this metric would be a clear indicator of the growth of the business. However, as evidenced by the substantial reduction in miles driven during the COVID-19 pandemic, near-term fluctuations in miles driven can lead to fluctuations in direct earned premium. Thus, we refer to policies in force as a more stable indicator of overall growth. Direct earned premium excludes the impact of premiums
ceded to reinsurers such that it reflects the actual business volume and direct economic benefit generated from our customer acquisition efforts. Additionally, premiums ceded to reinsurers can change based on the type and mix of reinsurance structures we use.
Direct Written Premium
We define direct written premium as the total amount of direct premiums on policies that were bound during the period. Direct written premium is a standard insurance metric and is included here for consistency. However, given that much of our premium is written and earned as customer miles are driven (i.e., customers are billed based on true use), unlike our competitors that write all premium up-front, we believe earned premium is a more meaningful comparison to other insurers. Direct written premium excludes mileage-based premium that has not yet been earned. It also excludes the impact of premiums ceded to reinsurers such that it reflects the actual business volume and direct economic benefit generated from our customer acquisition efforts. Additionally, premiums ceded to reinsurers can change based on the type and mix of reinsurance structures we use.
Direct Earned Premium
We define direct earned premium as the amount of direct premium that was earned during the period. Premiums are earned over the period in which insurance protection is provided, which is typically six months. We view direct earned premium as an important metric because it allows us to evaluate our growth prior to the impact of ceded premiums to our reinsurance partners. It is the primary driver of our consolidated GAAP revenues and represents the result of our sustained customer acquisition efforts. As with direct written premium, direct earned premium excludes the impact of premiums ceded to reinsurers to manage our business, and therefore should not be used as a substitute for net earned premium, total revenue, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
Gross Profit/(Loss)
Gross profit/(loss) is defined as total revenue minus losses and LAE, policy servicing expense and other, and amortization of capitalized software. Gross margin is equal to gross profit/(loss) divided by total revenue. Gross profit/(loss) includes the effects of reinsurance, thereby increasing volatility of this measure without corresponding changes in the underlying business or operations.
Contribution Profit/(Loss) and Accident Period Contribution Profit/(Loss)
Contribution profit/(loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as gross profit/(loss), excluding the effects of reinsurance arrangements on both total revenue and losses and LAE and excludes enterprise software revenues, investment income earned at the holding company, amortization of internally developed software, and devices, while including bad debt, report costs and other policy servicing expenses. Accident period contribution profit/(loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, further excludes the results of prior period development on losses and LAE. We believe the resulting calculations are inclusive of the variable costs of revenue incurred to successfully service a policy, but without the volatility of reinsurance. We use contribution profit/(loss) as a key measure of our progress towards profitability and to consistently evaluate the variable contribution to our business from insurance operations from period to period because it is the result of direct earned premiums, plus investment income earned at the insurance company, minus direct losses, direct LAE, premium taxes, bad debt, payment processing fees, data costs, underwriting reports, and other costs related to servicing policies. Accident period contribution profit/(loss) further excludes the results of prior period development on loss and LAE, thereby providing the most accurate view of the performance of our underlying insurance product, which drives our growth investment decisions and is a strong indicator of future loss performance.
See the section entitled “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue to accident period contribution profit/(loss) and contribution profit/(loss).
Contribution Margin and Accident Period Contribution Margin
Contribution margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as contribution profit/(loss) divided by adjusted revenue. Adjusted revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as total revenue, excluding the net effect of our reinsurance arrangements, revenue attributable to our enterprise segment, interest income generated outside of our insurance company, and bad debt expense. We view contribution margin as an important metric because it most closely correlates to the economics of our core underlying insurance product and measures our progress towards profitability. Accordingly, we use this non-GAAP financial measure to consistently evaluate the variable contribution to our business from insurance operations from period to period. Accident period contribution margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as accident period contribution profit/(loss) divided by adjusted revenue. We view accident period contribution margin as an important metric as it excludes the results of prior period development on loss and LAE, thereby providing the most meaningful view of the performance of our current underlying insurance product, which drives our growth investment decisions and is a strong indicator of future loss performance.
See the section entitled “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue to contribution profit/(loss) and accident period contribution profit/(loss).
Direct and Accident Period Loss Ratio
We define direct loss ratio expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of direct losses to direct earned premium. Direct loss ratio excludes LAE. We view direct loss ratio as an important metric because it allows us to evaluate losses and LAE separately prior to the impact of reinsurance.
We define accident period loss ratio as direct loss ratio excluding prior accident period development on losses. We view accident period loss ratio as an important metric because it allows us to evaluate the expected ultimate losses, including losses not yet reported, for the most recent accident period.
Direct and Accident Period LAE Ratio
We define direct LAE ratio expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of direct LAE to direct earned premium. We view the direct LAE ratio as an important metric because it allows us to evaluate losses and LAE separately prior to the impact of reinsurance. We actively monitor the direct LAE ratio as it has a direct impact on our results regardless of our reinsurance strategy.
We define the accident period LAE ratio as the direct LAE ratio excluding prior quarter development on LAE. We view accident period LAE ratio as an important metric because it allows us to evaluate the expected ultimate LAE, including LAE for claims not yet reported, for the most recent accident period.
Recent Developments Affecting Comparability
Business Combination with INSU
In February 2021, we completed the Merger, pursuant to which Metromile Operating Company (formerly MetroMile, Inc.) became our wholly owned direct subsidiary. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although INSU was the legal acquirer, INSU is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Metromile Operating Company is treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the fact that Metromile Operating Company’s stockholders prior to the Merger have a majority of our voting power, Metromile Operating Company’s senior management now comprise substantially all of our senior management, the relative size of Metromile Operating Company compared to our company, and that Metromile Operating Company’s operations comprise our ongoing operations. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Metromile Operating Company issued stock for our net assets, which are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and Metromile Operating Company’s financial statements became the Company’s financial statements.
In connection with the Business Combination, we received approximately $310.0 million of cash, which we used to repay certain indebtedness as described herein. We expect to use our cash on hand for working capital and general corporate purposes. We may also use the proceeds for the acquisition of, or investment in, technologies, solutions, or businesses that complement our business.
COVID-19 Impact
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. We have taken measures in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including closing our offices and implementing a work from home policy for our nationwide workforce; implementing additional safety policies and procedures for our employees; and restricting employee travel and in-person meetings. We may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and stockholders.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated $28.1 million in direct earned premium, an increase of $2.3 million or 9%, as compared to $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to a year-over-year increase in direct earned premium per policy, which is a reflection of both miles driven and growth in the business. Based on internal data, miles driven increased by 17% for the first three months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. We believe that the potential long-term impacts of COVID-19, as more companies embrace work from home policies, represent an opportunity for us to increase our customer base as drivers continue to look for value-driven insurance solutions that provide the same or a better quality product that aligns to their own driving behaviors.
The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, impact on our customers and their spending habits, impact on our marketing efforts, and effect on our suppliers, all of which are uncertain. Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and disruptions to our operations and the operations of our third-party suppliers, along with the related global slowdown in economic activity, may result in decreased revenues and increased costs. Impacts on our revenue and costs may continue through the duration of this crisis. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic, the measures taken by federal, state, or local authorities and businesses affected and the resulting economic impact may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial positions as well as our customers.
Key Factors and Trends Affecting our Operating Performance
Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors, including the following:
Our Ability to Attract New Customers
Our long-term growth will depend, in large part, on our continued ability to attract new customers to our platform. Our growth strategy is centered around accelerating our existing position in markets that we already serve, expanding into new markets nationally across the United States, developing new strategic partnerships with key players in the automotive industry.
Our Ability to Retain Customers
Turning our customers to lifetime customers is key to our success. We realize increasing value from each customer retained as a recurring revenue base, which forms a basis for organic growth for our new product offerings and improves our loss ratios over time. Our ability to retain customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our products, offerings of our competitors and pricing of our products.
Our Ability to Expand Nationally Across the United States
Our long-term growth opportunity will benefit from our ability to provide insurance across more states in the United States. Today, we are licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia, with licenses active in 46 states and the District of Columbia, and writing business in eight states. We plan to apply our highly scalable model nationally, with a tailored approach to each state, driven by the regulatory environment and local market dynamics. This will allow us to expand rapidly and efficiently across different geographies while maintaining a high level of control over the specific strategy within each state.
Our Ability to Introduce New and Innovative Products
Our growth will depend on our ability to introduce new and innovative products that will drive the organic growth from our existing customer base as well as from potential customers. Our insurance offerings provide us with a foundation to provide a broad set of insurance products to consumers in the future.
Our Ability to Manage Risk Through Our Technology
Risk is managed through our technology, artificial intelligence, and data science, which we utilize to accurately determine the risk profiles of our customers. Our ability to manage risk is augmented over time as data is continuously collected and analyzed by our machine learning with the objective of lowering our loss ratios over time. Our success depends on our ability to adequately and competitively price risk.
Our Ability to Manage Risks Related to Severe Weather Events and Climate Change
Both seasonal and severe weather events impact the level and amount of claims we receive. These events, as well as climate change and its potential impact on weather patterns, include hurricanes, wildfires, coastal storms, winter storms, hailstorms, and tornados.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenues are generated primarily from the sale of our pay-per-mile auto insurance policies within the United States, revenue related to policy acquisition costs recovered as part of the reinsurance arrangement, and through sales of our proprietary AI claims platform. Revenue excludes premiums ceded to our reinsurers (see the section entitled “— Reinsurance” for further information).
Premiums Earned, net
Premiums earned, net represents the earned portion of our gross written premium, less the earned portion that is ceded to third-party reinsurers under any reinsurance agreements. Revenue from premiums is earned over the term of the policy, which is written for six-month terms. The premium for the policy provides for a base rate per month for the entire policy term upon the binding of the policy plus a per-mile rate multiplied by the miles driven each day (based on data from the telematics device, subject to a daily maximum).
Investment Income
Investment income represents interest earned from our fixed maturity and short-term investments less investment expenses and is recorded as the income is earned. Investment income is directly correlated with the size of our investment portfolio and with the market level of interest rates. The size of our investment portfolio is expected to increase in future periods, and therefore investment income is also expected to increase, as we continue to invest both customer premiums and equity proceeds into our investment portfolio.
Other Revenue
Other revenue consists of enterprise revenue, revenue related to policy acquisition costs recovered as part of a reinsurance arrangement with reinsurance partners, reinsurance profit commissions based on performance of the ceded business, gain on reinsurance commutation and policy commissions earned from NGI. We have developed technologies
intended for internal use to service our insurance business and have started offering our technologies to third-party insurance carriers. Enterprise revenue represents revenues generated from the licensing of such internally developed software on a subscription basis, and sales of our professional services, which includes customization and implementation services for customers. We also earned revenues from policy acquisition costs recovered for policies newly ceded to our reinsurance partners, and we earn commissions for policies underwritten by NGI prior to becoming a full-stack insurance carrier in 2016.
Costs and Expenses
Our costs and expenses consist of losses and LAE, policy servicing expense and other, sales, marketing, and other acquisition costs, research and development, amortization of capitalized software, and other operating expenses.
Losses and LAE
Our losses and LAE consist of the net cost to settle claims submitted by our customers. Losses consist of claims paid, case reserves, as well as claims incurred but not reported, net of estimated recoveries from salvage and subrogation. LAE consists of costs borne at the time of investigating and settling a claim. Losses and LAE represents management’s best estimate of the ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported losses occurred through the balance sheet date. Estimates are made using individual case-basis valuations and statistical analyses and are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known. These reserves are established to cover the estimated ultimate cost to settle insured losses.
Both losses and LAE are net of amounts ceded to reinsurers. We evaluate whether to enter into reinsurance contracts to protect our business from losses due to concentration of risk and to manage our operating leverage ratios, as well as to provide additional capacity for growth. Our reinsurance contracts consist of quota-share reinsurance agreements with our reinsurance partners under which risks are covered on a pro-rata basis for all policies underwritten by us (see the section entitled “— Reinsurance” for further discussion). These expenses are a function of the size and term of the insurance policies we write and the loss experience associated with the underlying risks. Losses and LAE may be paid out over a period of years.
Various other expenses incurred during claims processing are allocated to losses and LAE. These amounts include claims adjusters’ salaries and benefits, employee retirement plan related expenses and stock-based compensation expenses (Personnel Costs); software expenses; and overhead allocated based on headcount (Overhead).
It is possible that changes in economic conditions, the supply chain, labor market and geopolitical tensions, along with actions taken by the government, could lead to inflationary impacts outside of the Company's expectations. Such factors could drive an increase or decrease in the Company’s loss costs and the need to strengthen or reduce loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Labor shortages, higher costs of vehicle, parts and equipment, and supply shortages for raw materials are adversely impacting severity in our business and the industry and may continue to do so in future quarters.
Policy Servicing Expense and Other
Policy servicing expense and other includes personnel costs related to our technical operations and customer experience teams, data transmission costs, credit card and payment processing expenses, premium taxes, and amortization of telematics devices. Policy servicing expense and other is expensed as incurred.
Sales, Marketing and Other Acquisition Costs
Sales, marketing, and other acquisition costs includes spend related to advertising, branding, public relations, third-party marketing, consumer insights, reinsurance ceding commissions, and expense recognized due to return of onboarding allowance as part of reinsurance commutations. These expenses also include related personnel costs and overhead. We incur sales, marketing and other acquisition costs for all product offerings including our newly introduced software as a service (“SaaS”) platform which provides access to our developed technology under SaaS arrangements, along with professional services to third-party customers (“Enterprise business solutions”). Sales, marketing and other acquisition costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs related to deferred acquisition costs that are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the same period in which the related premiums are earned.
Research and Development
Research and development consist of costs that support our growth and expansion initiatives inclusive of website development costs, software development costs related to our mobile app and Enterprise business solution, and new product development costs. These costs include third-party services related to data infrastructure support; personnel costs and overhead for product design, engineering, and management; and amortization of internally developed software. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs related to internally developed software that are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the expected useful life. We expect that research and development expenses will increase in both absolute dollars and percentage of revenues in future periods in the near-term. We expect that, in the long-term, our research and development expenses will decrease as a percentage of revenue as these represent largely fixed costs.
Amortization of Capitalized Software
Amortization of capitalized software relates to the amortization recorded for the capitalized website and software development costs for the period presented.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses primarily relate to personnel costs and overhead for corporate functions, external professional service expenses and depreciation expense for computers, furniture, and other fixed assets. General and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.
We expect to incur incremental operating expenses to support our global operational growth and enhancements to support our reporting and planning functions.
We expect to incur significant additional operating expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, additional corporate, director and officer insurance expenses, greater investor relations expenses and increased legal, audit and consulting fees.
Interest expense
Interest expense primarily relates to interest incurred on our long-term debt, the amortization of debt issuance costs.
(Decrease) increase in fair value of stock warrant liability
(Decrease) increase in fair value of stock warrant liability primarily relates to changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities.

Revenue
Premiums Earned, net
Net premiums earned increased $18.0 million, or 1604%, from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to a $15 million decrease in premiums ceded to our reinsurance partners, and a $2.3 million increase in direct earned premium, The increase in direct earned premiums was primarily attributable to an increase in policies in force during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as well as increase in miles driven during the same period. We believe direct earned premium is the best measure of top-line revenue, as it excludes the impacts of reinsurance.
Investment Income
Investment income increased $9 thousand, or 25%, from $36 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $45 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a higher level of invested assets.
Other Revenue
Other revenue decreased $14.6 million, or 91%, from $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily reinsurance related. There was an $11.3 million gain recognized in 2021 on reinsurance commutation settlement and a $3.5 million decrease year over year in revenues from policy acquisition costs recovered for policies onboarded into our 2021 reinsurance program.
Costs and Expenses
Losses and LAE
Losses and LAE increased $9.8 million, or 80%, from $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $22.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Ceded losses and LAE decreased $4.7 million as a result of commuting most of our reinsurance programs during the first quarter of 2021 and replacing with a new reinsurance program effective January 2022 under which we cede a smaller portion of our portfolio. Direct losses and LAE increased by $5.1 million due to an overall increase in claims cost as a result of inflationary trends, frequency, and severity.
Policy Servicing Expense and Other
Policy servicing expense and other increased $0.8 million, or 19%, from $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our technical operations costs to support our customer platform, customer experience and other policy servicing personnel related expenses to support our business initiatives.
Sales, Marketing, and Other Acquisition Costs
Sales, marketing, and other acquisition costs decreased $40.8 million from $47.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Of this decrease, $40.8 million was reinsurance-related to the 2021 commutation, in which we recorded a gain of $11.3 million in Other Revenue as well as Sales, Marketing, and Other Acquisition Cost expense of $40.1 million related to a return of revenues from policy acquisition costs recovered for policies onboarded into our reinsurance program. Aside from reinsurance related impacts, there was a net decrease of $1.0 million in our marketing campaign spend.
Research and Development
Research and development increased $0.6 million, or 17%, from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to employee personnel costs related to our expansion initiatives in the engineering and technology areas of approximately $3.2 million, and an increase in stock compensation expense for related departments of $0.7 million, partially offset by a decrease of $3.2 million in capitalized software costs which serves as an offset to research and development expense.
Amortization of Capitalized Software
Amortization of capitalized software increased by 27%, from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily related to the amortization of our website development costs and capitalized costs related to internal use software.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses increased $5.1 million, or 60%, from $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $3.9 million increase in general and administrative costs as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, additional
corporate, director and officer insurance expenses, and increased legal, audit and consulting fees, as well as $0.3 million transaction costs incurred in 2022 in connection with an intended merger with Lemonade.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $15.9 million, or 100%, from $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was attributable to no debt outstanding in 2022, as debt was paid off during the first quarter of 2021.
Decrease in fair value of stock warrant liability
Fair value of stock warrant liability decreased $26.3 million, from $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by the change in fair value of our public and private placement warrants as described in Note 2 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures below have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, accident period contribution profit/(loss) and contribution profit/(loss) should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that these non-GAAP measures fail to address. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Therefore, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
Our management use these non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing our business and to, among other things: (1) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and financial performance; (2) facilitate internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; (3) facilitate external comparisons of the results of our overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (4) review and assess the operating performance of our management team; (5) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (6) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are a holding company that transacts a majority of our business through operating subsidiaries. Through our insurance subsidiaries, we sell pay-per-mile auto insurance policies to customers and through our Enterprise subsidiary, we sell our insurance solution technology to third-party insurance carriers. From inception through completion of the Merger, we financed our operations primarily through sales of insurance policies, sales of our Enterprise platform, and the net proceeds received from the issuance of preferred stock, debt, and sales of investments. As of March 31, 2022, we had $84.3 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents compared to unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $120.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits and money market funds. Our marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury securities, municipal securities, corporate debt securities, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other debt obligations.
Insurance companies in the United States are also required by state law to maintain a minimum level of capital and surplus. Insurance companies are subject to certain RBC requirements as specified by NAIC. These standards for property and casualty insurers are used as a means of monitoring the financial strength of insurance companies. Under these requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by an insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. Such regulation is generally for the protection of the policyholders rather than
stockholders. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our capital and policyholders’ surplus exceeded the minimum RBC requirements. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our insurance premium growth rate, renewal activity, including the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the introduction of new and enhanced products, the continuing market adoption of offerings on our platform, and the current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
Our principal sources of liquidity are funds generated by operating activities, and available cash and cash equivalents, subject to the limitations set forth in the merger agreement related to the Proposed Transaction.
The following table summarizes our cash flow data for the periods presented:

[1] Cash activities in 2022 include cash flows related to Enterprise Business Solutions classified as held for sale beginning in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 16, Business Disposition, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of this transaction.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $28.0 million, which was a decrease of net cash used of $1.4 million from $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cash used during this period included $23.1 million from net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022, excluding the impact of changes in fair value of our outstanding warrants, depreciation expense and stock-based compensation and other non-cash expenses. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities decreased by $30.1 million, which is primarily attributable to reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid losses, loss and LAE reserves which reflect an increase in paid claims year over year, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and prepaid reinsurance premium, partially offset by ceded reinsurance premiums,
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $29.4 million. Cash used during this period included $54.5 million from net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021, excluding the impact of changes in fair value of our outstanding warrants, depreciation expense and stock-based compensation and other non-cash expenses. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities increased by $32.5 million, which is primarily attributable to ceded reinsurance premiums, reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses, accounts payable and accrued expense, prepaid reinsurance premium, premiums receivable which outpaced reinsurance recoverable on paid losses, prepaid expenses and other, unearned premium reserve, and loss and LAE reserves.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $17.1 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was primarily driven by a change from net proceeds to net payments for securities, as well as continued investment in our website and software development, partially offset by a decline in investment in telematics devices, leasehold improvements, and other equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.0 million compared to $273.5 million in cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to cash received from the trust account and the private placements in connection with the Closing in February 2021.

Financing Arrangements
Subordinated Note Purchase and Security Agreement
In April 2020, we entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with Hudson, which was amended in February 2021 to reflect the consummation of the Merger by adding INSU as a guarantor and reflecting our new corporate structure. An executive of Hudson is on our board of directors and is a related party, as discussed in Note 15 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on form 10-Q.
Under the Note Purchase Agreement, we could issue up to $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured subordinated PIK notes due in 2025 (the “Notes”). The Note Purchase Agreement further provided for additional funds of up to an aggregate of $15.0 million over time from Hudson, the timing of which was subject to reinsurance settlement timing. Notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement were due on the fifth anniversary of their issuance, starting in April 2025, and bore interest at the following rates: 2% per annum payable quarterly in arrears in cash, and a varying interest rate of 9.0% to 11.0% PIK interest. The PIK interest was based on the aggregate outstanding principal balance as follows: (i) 11.0% if the outstanding balance was less than $5.0 million; (ii) 10.0% if the outstanding balance was greater than or equal to $5.0 million but less than $10.0 million, and (iii) 9.0% if the outstanding balance was greater than or equal to $10.0 million. PIK interest represents contractually deferred interest that was added to the principal balance outstanding each quarter and due at maturity. The Notes were secured by substantially all of our assets. We had the right to prepay the Notes at any time subject to payment of a fee. As of December 31, 2020, $31.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes was outstanding, along with $0.9 million of capitalized PIK interest. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, we issued additional Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million. As of March 30, 2021, there was approximately $36.6 million of principal and PIK interest outstanding under the Hudson debt facility, which we repaid on such date, along with the prepayment fee of $0.4 million. Accordingly, there are no longer any Notes outstanding.
As part of the entry into the original Note Purchase Agreement, we issued warrants for up to 8,536,938 of Series E convertible preferred shares, which we estimated to have a fair value of $12.5 million at issuance, which was recorded as a discount to the debt and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. These warrants were net exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and are no longer outstanding.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
In April 2020, we were granted a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program offered by the Small Business Administration under the CARES Act, section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act for approximately $5.9 million. The balance outstanding for the Paycheck Protection Program loan was $5.9 million at December 31, 2020. We repaid this loan concurrent with the consummation of the Merger and it is no longer outstanding.
2019 Loan and Security Agreement
In December 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2019 Loan and Security Agreement”) with us, as borrower, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors and certain affiliates of Multiplier Capital, LLC and other financial institutions, as lenders and agent, providing for a term loan in aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. Minimum payments of interest were due monthly through December 2021. Beginning in January 2022, equal payments of principal would have been due monthly in an amount necessary to fully amortize the loan by June 5, 2024. An end of term payment of $0.6 million was due at maturity or date of any prepayment. The loan was secured by substantially all of our and the guarantor’s assets. Lender’s consent was required to be obtained regarding certain dispositions, and changes in business, management, or ownership including mergers and acquisitions, such as the Merger, as more fully described in the 2019 Loan and Security Agreement. The balance outstanding net of debt issuance costs for the 2019 Loan and Security Agreement was $24.3 million as of December 31, 2020.
The loan could be prepaid in an amount equal to the outstanding principal, accrued interest, and the end of term fee, plus a prepayment charge of 3% if paid in the first two years after the effective date, 2% if paid in the third year after the effective date, or 1% if prepaid after the third year subsequent to the effective date. Accordingly, we prepaid this loan in connection with the consummation of the Merger and is no longer outstanding.
At the time of origination, the lender was granted a warrant to purchase Series E convertible preferred stock, estimated to have a fair value of $0.5 million at issuance. These warrants were net exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and are no longer outstanding.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. We evaluate our significant estimates on an ongoing basis, including, but not limited to, estimates related to reserves for loss and LAE, premium write-offs, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for material changes to our critical accounting policies from the ones described under the section Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K Annual Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
We are exposed to certain credit and interest rate risks as part of our ongoing business operations.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk on our investment portfolio and were exposed on our reinsurance contracts. Investments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash and marketable securities. We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit standing and our excess cash in marketable investment grade securities. With respect to our reinsurance contracts, we were exposed to credit risk from reinsurance recoverables and prepaid reinsurance premiums, which was mitigated by using a diverse group of reinsurers and monitoring their financial strength ratings. For any reinsurance counterparties who were not rated, we require adequate levels of collateral in the form of a trust account or Letter of Credit. The credit risk on our reinsurance contracts has been eliminated with the commutation of the reinsurance programs.
Interest Rate Risk
Our consolidated balance sheets include assets and liabilities with estimated fair values that are subject to market risks. Our primary market risk has been interest rate risks which impacts the fair value of our liabilities as well as interest rate risks associated with our investments in fixed maturities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end
of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to ineffective information technology general controls ("ITGCs") in the areas of user access and program change management over certain information technology ("IT") systems that support our financial reporting processes, as disclosed below.
Remediation of Material Weakness
As disclosed in Part II Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness in internal controls related to ineffective ITGCs in the areas of user access and program change management over certain IT systems that support our financial reporting processes.
Beginning during the three months ended December 31, 2021, and continuing through March 31, 2022, we implemented our previously-disclosed remediation plan that included: (i) updating and implementing user access and change management policies; (ii) establishing a Change Management Committee to monitor change management processes and controls; and (iii) enhancing quarterly reporting on the remediation measures to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we completed our testing of the operating effectiveness of the impacted ITGC controls and found them to be effective. However, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed in the second quarter of 2022.
Notwithstanding this material weakness, management has concluded that our financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, besides those previously mentioned in the Remediation Plan section above, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
