● Kin finished 2021 with $104.8 million in
Total Managed Premium1, four times higher than the $25.0 million of
Total Managed Premium at the end of 2020.
● $99.2 million (95%) of Total Managed
Premium in 2021 was written through the Kin Interinsurance Network
(the “Carrier”), a reciprocal exchange managed by Kin Insurance,
Inc.
● Premium Renewal Rate2 on the Carrier
remained strong at 102% in December 2021, increasing the Premium
Renewal Rate to 97% in 2021, a 400 basis point increase over
2020.
“Kin achieved several remarkable milestones in 2021 – we
exceeded our annual goal for total managed premium by 7%, increased
our premium renewal rate to 97%, and tripled the number of
customers we serve,” said Sean Harper, Chief Executive Officer of
Kin. “These results differentiate our business model and signal
that our value proposition continues to resonate with people who
want more simplicity and customization when it comes to securing
essential and affordable coverage.”
“Kin is winning with fast growth, great unit economics, and
loyal customers,” said Josh Cohen, Chief Financial Officer of Kin.
“We’re equally, if not more excited, about our future growth
trajectory as we plan to expand into more geographic markets that
will help us reach a larger portion of the approximate $110 billion
aggregate home insurance market.”
These preliminary results through December 31, 2021 are based on
the information available to us at this time. There are material
limitations inherent in making estimates of our results prior to
the completion of our normal financial closing procedures and our
actual results may vary from the estimated preliminary results
presented here due to the completion of our financial closing
procedures and final adjustments. The estimated preliminary results
have not been audited or reviewed by our independent registered
public accounting firm. These estimates should not be viewed as a
substitute for our full audited financial statements. Accordingly,
you should not place undue reliance on this preliminary data.
