Despite a weak real estate market and a below-average Atlantic hurricane season, the flood insurance tech firm saw a 34% year-over-year revenue increase to $59.6 million. Commission income grew by 35.4% to $45.9 million, while fee income rose 30.7% to $13.7 million.

The company's 40 Rule metric, which compares revenue growth to adjusted EBITDA margin, hit 94, indicating strong performance.

Share-based compensation jumped to $7.0 million, reflecting the company's shift to public status. A year-over-year analysis showed total revenue of $197 million, a 33.8% increase from $147.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA expanded 34.3% to $118.7 million, maintaining a 60.2% margin. Net income rose a mere 0.1% to $44.7 million due to increased compensation costs, but adjusted net income jumped 40.4% to $75.6 million. Over the past decade, Neptune's organic revenue grew from $38 million in 2021 to $197 million, while adjusted EBITDA expanded from $34 million to $119 million. Employee productivity metrics indicated $3.2 million in revenue per employee and $2.0 million in adjusted EBITDA per employee. The company's tech strategy centers on AI integration, with Atlas+ AI tool improving quoting and policy binding rates by 3.5 times.
