• The firm is actively scaling to reach its target of 3 million policies by 2030, and leadership views the market opportunity as well-aligned with the company's unique positioning in the insurance industry

Partnership Performance

• Partnerships are long-standing (some over 20 years old) and highly sticky, with the firm continuing to add new partnerships while growing existing relationships

New Product Line Details

• The Enthusiast Plus line, covering newer modern enthusiast vintage vehicles, is an early-stage startup offering

Q: What are the differences in average premium per policy and loss experience between Hagerty's modern enthusiast (newer vintage) vehicle business and its legacy older collector car business?

A: Legacy traditional collector car insurance pricing is based on the vehicle's agreed value and underwriting, with consistent rates for special-interest vehicles.

Q: How is productivity and flow-through performing for Hagerty's existing carrier referral partnerships, outside of the new State Farm relationship?

A: All existing partnerships are performing well, with growing penetration of carrier distribution networks driven by ongoing field engagement. These partnerships are long-standing, sticky, and collectively contribute to the company's current strong growth trajectory, with new partnerships still being added regularly.
