Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Porch Group, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (“Porch Group,” “Porch,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”) is a leading homeowners insurance and vertical software platform and is positioned to be the best partner to help homebuyers move, maintain, and fully protect their homes. We offer differentiated products and services, with homeowners insurance at the center of this relationship. We differentiate and look to win in the massive and growing homeowners insurance opportunity by 1) providing the best services for homebuyers, 2) led by advantaged underwriting in insurance, 3) to protect the whole home. As a leader in the home services software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) space, we’ve built deep relationships with approximately 30 thousand companies that are key to the home-buying transaction, such as home inspectors, mortgage companies, and title companies. These relationships provide us with early insights to United States (“U.S.”) homebuyers. In partnership with these companies, we have the ability to help simplify the move for consumers with services such as insurance, warranty, moving and more. We have two reportable segments that are also our operating segments: Vertical Software and Insurance. See Note 16, Segment Information, for additional information on our reportable segments. Through our vertical software products we have unique insights into the majority of U.S. properties. This data helps feed our insurance underwriting models, better understand risk, and create competitive differentiation in underwriting. We provide full protection for the home by including a variety of home warranty products alongside homeowners insurance. We are able to fill the gaps of protection for consumers, minimize surprises, and deepen our relationships and value proposition. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Porch Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024. The information as of December 31, 2023, included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other interim period or future year due to various factors such as management estimates and the seasonal nature of some portions of our insurance business. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Concentrations Financial instruments which potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash, money market accounts on deposit with financial institutions, money market funds, certificates of deposit, fixed-maturity securities, and receivable balances in the course of collection. Our insurance carrier subsidiary has exposure and remains liable in the event of insolvency of its reinsurers. Management and its reinsurance intermediary regularly assess the credit quality and ratings of its reinsurer counterparties. As of March 31, 2024, four reinsurers represented more than 10% individually, and 60% in the aggregate, of our total reinsurance balance due. Substantially all of our revenues in the Insurance segment are derived from customers in Texas (which represent approximately 72% of Insurance segment revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2024), South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Arizona, and Illinois, which could be adversely affected by economic conditions, an increase in competition, local weather events, or environmental impacts and changes. No individual customer represented more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2024, we held approximately $280.1 million of cash with five U.S. commercial banks. Cash and Cash Equivalents & Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash balances that may exceed the insured limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Restricted cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024, includes $27.7 million held by our captive reinsurance business as collateral for the benefit of Homeowners of America Insurance Company (“HOA”), $1.4 million held in certificates of deposits and money market mutual funds pledged to the Department of Insurance in certain states as a condition of our Certificate of Authority for the purpose of meeting obligations to policyholders and creditors, $6.8 million in funds held for the payment of possible warranty claims as required under regulatory guidelines in 21 states, and $1.0 million related to acquisition indemnifications. Restricted cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023, includes $28.3 million held by our captive reinsurance business as collateral for the benefit of HOA, $1.3 million held certificates of deposit and money market mutual funds pledged to the Department of Insurance in certain states as a condition of its Certificate of Authority for the purpose of meeting obligations to policyholders and creditors, $7.3 million in funds held for the payment of possible warranty claims as required under regulatory guidelines in 19 states, and $1.9 million related to acquisition indemnifications. The reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows:
| March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 279,073 |  | $ | 258,418
Restricted cash and cash equivalents | 36,820 |  | 38,814
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 315,893 |  | $ | 297,232
Accounts Receivable and Long-term Insurance Commissions Receivable Accounts receivable consist principally of amounts due from enterprise customers, other corporate partnerships, and individual policyholders. We estimate allowances for uncollectible receivables based on the creditworthiness of our customers, historical trend analysis, and macro-economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could affect our estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for uncollectible receivables at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Long-term insurance commissions receivable balance consists of the estimated commissions from policy renewals expected to be collected. We record the amount of renewal insurance commissions expected to be collected in the next twelve months as current accounts receivable. Goodwill We test goodwill for impairment for each reporting unit on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. We have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If we can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we would not need to perform a quantitative impairment test. If we cannot support such a conclusion or we do not elect to perform the qualitative assessment, then we perform a quantitative assessment. If a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment is performed, we utilize a combination of market and income valuation approaches. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We have selected October 1 as the date to perform annual impairment testing. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes on each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated using a combination of income and market valuation approaches using publicly traded company multiples in similar businesses. Such fair value measurements are based predominately on Level 3 inputs. This analysis requires significant judgments including an estimate of future cash flows which is dependent on internally developed forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Events that trigger a test for recoverability include a significant decrease in the market price for a long-lived asset, significant negative industry or economic trends, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition, a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset, or a sustained decrease in share price. When a triggering event occurs, a test for recoverability is performed, comparing projected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset group. If the test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, the asset group’s fair value is measured relying primarily on an income approach. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. Management identifies the asset group that includes the potentially impaired long-lived asset, at the lowest level at which there are separate, identifiable cash flows.. We estimate the fair value of an asset group using the income approach. Such fair value measurements are based predominately on Level 3 inputs. Inherent in our development of cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of our operating results, business plan forecasts, expected growth rates, and cost of capital, similar to those a market participant would use to assess fair value. We also make certain assumptions about future economic conditions and other data. Many of these factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management and these assumptions and estimates may change in future periods. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs We capitalize deferred policy acquisitions costs (“DAC”) which consist primarily of commissions, premium taxes and policy underwriting and production expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition by our insurance company subsidiary of new or renewal insurance contracts. DAC are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the policies to which they relate, which is generally one year. DAC is also reduced by ceding commissions paid by reinsurance companies which represent recoveries of acquisition costs. DAC is periodically reviewed for recoverability and adjusted if necessary. Future investment income is considered in determining the recoverability of DAC. Amortized deferred acquisition costs included in selling and marketing expense, amounted to $13.2 million and $9.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Expected Credit Losses We regularly review our individual investment securities for factors that may indicate that a decline in fair value of an investment has resulted from an expected credit loss, including: •the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings; •the extent to which the market value of the security is below its cost or amortized cost; •general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors; •nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and •our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value principles require disclosures regarding the manner in which fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy into which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based upon significant levels of inputs as follows: Level 1 Observable inputs, such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; Level 2 Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and 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; and 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. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
