Porch Group, Inc. ("Porch" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:PRCH), a homeowners insurance and vertical software platform, today announced the completed formation of the Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange ("PIRE") and sale of Homeowners of America Insurance Company ("HOA") to PIRE.
The final terms of the transaction were consistent with expectations, with Porch selling HOA to PIRE for a purchase price equal to HOA's December 31, 2024 expected surplus1 of approximately $105 million, less the existing 2023 surplus note of $49 million and less $9 million of outstanding interest expected to be paid in 2025. This brings the total surplus notes2 held by Porch to approximately $106 million. With this transaction now complete, going forward all insurance policies, premium and related claims, as well as all HOA assets and liabilities will be owned by PIRE. Porch Group will receive commissions and fees for providing operating and other services to PIRE, which is expected to deliver more predictable and higher-margin financial results for Porch Group Shareholders.
