Porch Group, Inc. ("Porch" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:PRCH), a homeowners insurance and vertical software platform, today announced Porch Group Media ("PGM"), the data and marketing subsidiary of Porch, has signed an agreement to license non-exclusively its unique Home Factors insights to California-based insurance MGA, Bamboo Ide8 Insurance Services, LLC. ("Bamboo").

This agreement follows the recent announcement of Home Factors' official third-party launch in the market. Porch Group Media has Home Factors for approximately 90% of US homes, providing unique and valuable insights not previously available. For example, identifying that an electric panel needs repair indicates 41% higher claims frequency. These insights have already demonstrated strong performance with Porch's own insurance carrier, Homeowners of America Insurance Company ("HOA"), where it has contributed to its improvement in loss ratio performance.

Home Factors provides value for consumers and carriers. Consumers can get fairer prices based on the actual risk of their property and insurance carriers are expected to achieve more accurate pricing and lower underwriting costs. Tests with HOA and other third-party partners such as Bamboo continue to validate Home Factors' value in underwriting, rate, claims, marketing and overall risk management. Bamboo is among the first to leverage Home Factors insights for a tech-forward and data-driven approach to underwriting, and reduce the cost of manual underwriting.
