Revenue and Profitability Growth:
- Porch Group reported revenue of $85 million for Q1 2025, with gross profit of $69 million, representing an 86% increase year-over-year.

Insurance Segment Performance:
- Porch Insurance Services generated $49.8 million in revenue from $97 million of Reciprocal written premium, achieving an 85% gross margin.
- This strong performance was due to the transition to a fees-based model, which reduced risk and created stable fee streams.

Software and Data Segment Stability:

- Although revenue growth was modest, the company is focusing on price increases and strategic product launches to drive future growth.

Consumer Services Challenges and Investments:
