• Q1 results were exceptional — $193M revenue (+104% YoY), $34M adjusted EBITDA, ~88,373 policies activated, and a Rule of 40 score of 121, which management says shows strong scalable economics.
• Direct channel accelerated with direct revenue up 136% YoY; the company more than doubled sequential ad spend while maintaining ROAS, indicating unit economics that scale with higher marketing investment.
• Management recorded a one-time non‑cash charge tied to updated third‑party agent compensation and persistency assumptions (disclosed as a $16.5M charge related to a ~$60.5M reduction in a prepaid asset), which raises agent compensation expense and lowers near‑term margins.
• Product and partnership momentum — Ethos now offers 12 products across six carriers, reports early product‑market fit for its accumulation IUL, launched two new whole‑life products, and announced a non‑exclusive licensing partnership with Liberty Mutual plus a ChatGPT integration to extend distribution.
