The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2023 with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $397.6 million. Of this amount, HOA, Porch's insurance carrier, held cash and cash equivalents of $207.6 million and investments of $102.8 million. Excluding HOA, Porch held $87.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments.
As of December 31, 2023, outstanding principal for convertible debt was $558.3 million. This includes $333.3 million of the 6.75% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due October 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and $225.0 million of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due September 2026 (the "2026 Notes").
Post Balance Sheet Events
Following the period end, the Company signed a business collaboration agreement with Aon Corp. and Aon Re, Inc. ("Aon") to provide a variety of services to Porch Group companies, resulting in payments to Porch of approximately $25 million upfront and an expected approximately $5 million over the following four years. As part of this agreement, the parties also signed a release of claims arising from the Vesttoo fraud. Porch has not released any claims against non-Aon parties related to these matters and intends to vigorously pursue recovery.
The Company completed the sale of EIG, its insurance agency, on January 31, 2024 for $12.2 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. EIG represented approximate $45 million of GWP placed with third party carriers in 2023, which generated approximately $4.7 million of annual commissions. In 2023, EIG's Adjusted EBITDA loss was approximately $3 million. This divestiture follows testing with third party agencies to compare conversion rates and profitability against EIG. Unit economics and profitability improved as costs associated with running the agency are removed and leveraging partners national footprint.
The Company repurchased $8.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2026 Notes in a private transaction for $3.0 million in cash, or 37.5% of par. Following the close of the transaction, outstanding principal for the 2026 Notes reduced to $217.0 million.

2 | 2024 gross written premium ("GWP") guidance is stated as the expected full-year GWP for 2024 and is the total premium written by our licensed insurance carrier(s) (before deductions for reinsurance) and premiums from our home warranty offerings (for the face value of one year's premium). Note, 2023 GWP includes approximately $45 million from EIG placed with third party carriers. |
Porch Group provides full year 2024 guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. The Company reiterated its Adjusted EBITDA profitability target for 2024 and future years on a full year basis. Guidance assumes a 63% gross loss ratio for the full year 2024, in line with the 5-year weighted average.
Porch Group is not providing reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA for future periods to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP because the Company is unable to provide these reconciliations without unreasonable effort because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of the Company's control.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) as a percent of revenue.
We define Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; other expense (income), net; impairments of intangible assets and goodwill; provision for doubtful accounts related to reinsurance, or related recoveries; impairments of property, equipment, and software; stock-based compensation expense; mark-to-market gains or losses recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements, earnouts, warrants, and derivatives; restructuring costs; acquisition and other transaction costs; and non-cash bonus expense. Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) as a percent of revenue is defined as Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) divided by total revenue.
Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, to evaluate financial and strategic planning matters, and to establish certain performance goals for incentive programs. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful information to evaluate our operating and financial performance and trends and in comparing our financial results with competitors, other similar companies and companies across different industries, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, our definitions and methodology in calculating these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies. In addition, we may modify the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material.
You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation, as a substitute to or superior to financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude specified income and expenses, some of which may be significant or material, that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. We may also incur future income or expenses similar to those excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures, and the presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exercise of management judgment about which income and expense are included or excluded in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.
You should review the tables accompanying this release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We are not providing reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures for future periods to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We are unable to provide these reconciliations without unreasonable effort because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control.

Key Performance Indicators
In the management of these businesses, we identify, measure and evaluate various operating metrics. The key performance measures and operating metrics used in managing the businesses are discussed below. These key performance measures and operating metrics are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to or calculated in the same way as other similarly titled measures and metrics used by other companies.
Gross Written Premium - We define Gross Written Premium as the total premium written by our licensed insurance carrier(s) (before deductions for reinsurance); premiums from our home warranty offerings (for the face value of one year's premium); and premiums of policies placed with third-party insurance companies for which we earn a commission.
Policies in Force - We define Policies in Force as the number of in-force policies at the end of the period for the Insurance segment, including policies and warranties written by us and policies and warranties written by third parties for which we earn a commission.
Annualized Revenue per Policy - We define Annualized Revenue per Policy as quarterly revenue for the Insurance segment, divided by the number of Policies in Force in the Insurance segment, multiplied by four.
Annualized Premium per Policy - We define Annualized Premium per Policy as the total direct earned premium for HOA, our insurance carrier, divided by the number of active insurance policies at the end of the period, multiplied by four.
Premium Retention Rate - We define Premium Retention Rate as the ratio of our insurance carrier's renewed premiums over the last four quarters to base premiums, which is the sum of the preceding year's premiums that either renewed or expired.
Gross Loss Ratio - We define Gross Loss Ratio as our insurance carrier's gross losses divided by the gross earned premium for the respective period on an accident year basis.
Average Companies in Quarter - We define Average Companies in Quarter as the straight-line average of the number of companies as of the end of period compared with the beginning of period across all of our home services verticals that (i) generate recurring revenue and (ii) generated revenue in the quarter. For new acquisitions, the number of companies is determined in the initial quarter based on the percentage of the quarter the acquired business is a part of Porch.
Average Monthly Revenue per Account in Quarter - We view our ability to increase revenue generated from existing customers as a key component of our growth strategy. Average Monthly Revenue per Account in Quarter is defined as the average revenue per month generated across all home services company customer accounts in a quarterly period. Average Monthly Revenue per Account in Quarter is derived from all customers and total revenue.
Monetized Services - We connect consumers with home services companies nationwide and offer a full range of products and services where homeowners can, among other things: (1) compare and buy home insurance policies (along with auto, flood and umbrella policies) and warranties with competitive rates and coverage; (2) arrange for a variety of services in connection with their move, from labor to load or unload a truck to full-service, long-distance moving services; (3) discover and install home automation and security systems; (4) compare internet and television options for their new home; (5) book small handyman jobs at fixed, upfront prices with guaranteed quality; and (6) compare bids from home improvement professionals who can complete bigger jobs. We track the number of monetized services performed through our platform each quarter and the revenue generated per service performed in order to measure market penetration with homebuyers and homeowners and our ability to deliver high-revenue services within those groups. Monetized Services is defined as the total number of services from which we generated revenue, including, but not limited to, new and renewing insurance and warranty customers, completed moving jobs, security installations, TV/Internet installations or other home projects, measured over the period.
Average Quarterly Revenue per Monetized Service - We believe that shifting the mix of services delivered to homebuyers and homeowners toward higher revenue services is an important component of our growth strategy. Average Quarterly Revenue per Monetized Service is the average revenue generated per monetized service performed in a quarterly period. When calculating Average Quarterly Revenue per Monetized Service, average revenue is defined as total quarterly service transaction revenues generated from monetized services.
