Risks & headwinds

Contingent income below expectations FY26

Contingency for FY26 is below actualized ratios in 2025; Q2 FY26 contingent income flat at $2.2 million.

Mitigation:Management will update contingency guidance after Q3, when lock-in agreements provide better visibility.

Organic growth headwind in Q4 FY26 Q4 FY26

Expected 'flattish organic' in Q4 FY26.

Mitigation:Offset by strong new business from the voluntary Florida homeowners program and improved retention assumptions for H2 FY26.

Cash flow volatility H1 FY26

Operating cash flow for H1 FY26 was $32.5 million, lower than consensus expectations.

Mitigation:Impacted by tax distributions to LLC unit holders and distributions to the shareholder class, as well as higher cash usage for acquisitions this year.

What to watch in Q3 FY26

Contingent Income Update

Q3 FY26 call
Current $2.2 million (flat QoQ)
Target Updated guidance for FY26 contingent income

Why it matters

Contingent income has been below prior year actualized ratios and management expects to update guidance, which could impact revenue and margin.

I did mention last call that we will update the contingency after the third quarter.

Q&A highlights

Are additional acquisitions or continued buybacks in H2 FY26 not modeled in guidance, despite strong cash flow and liquidity?

M&A pipeline is active, but H2 transactions are incremental to current guidance, representing potential upside. The share repurchase program is essentially complete, with reauthorization to be evaluated.

“We do have an active M&A pipeline... Any second half transactions will be incremental to the guidance we are providing today... there is upside potential.”

Detailed narrative

MGA Platform Expansion and Margin Impact

The MGA channel's commission income surged 290% quarter-over-quarter, now comprising 35% of total revenues, up from 15% in the prior year. This shift to a structurally higher-margin MGA platform, coupled with a temporary margin benefit from the runoff period of the Florida Takeout Program, significantly contributed to the 530 basis points adjusted EBITDA margin expansion.

Organic Growth Drivers

The reported 37% organic revenue growth was positively impacted by the Florida MGA takeout policies transitioning past the 12-month organic threshold. Core organic growth, excluding these dynamics, remained in the high teens, driven by new business generation and improving retention, particularly from the voluntary Florida homeowners program.

Strategic Acquisitions and Capital Allocation

TWFG completed the acquisition of Fortress Insurance Services, an Iowa-based agency, fulfilling its M&A objectives for FY26 guidance. The company also nearly completed its $50 million share repurchase program, buying back $42.9 million at an average price of $19 per share, retiring 15% of Class A shares.

Technology and AI Investments

The company continues to invest in AI-enabled capabilities, leveraging its proprietary technology stack and 25 years of underwriting data to enhance agent productivity and client services. This strategic focus is expected to be a competitive moat, with further details to be shared at the upcoming Investor Day.

Market Environment and Share Gains

The market environment is characterized by moderating auto rates (mid-single-digit declines in some sub-segments) and broadly flat homeowners rates. Carrier appetite for independent agent flow remains strong, with competitive new business incentives, which TWFG believes supports share gains for its diversified platform across both soft and hard markets.

Contingent Income Outlook

Contingent income remained flat at $2.2 million, aligning with a conservative posture given carrier loss ratios and the softening rate environment. Management expects to update contingency guidance after the third quarter, when lock-in agreements provide better visibility, noting potential upside.
