Hagerty’s Auction Sales Jumped 65% While Revenue Fell. The Gap Is the Story

Hagerty reported a 65.3% increase in auction sales to $111.6M and an 88.1% rise in private sales to $99.9M, while total revenue fell 9.5% to $354.2M. The company raised its full-year profit outlook, citing growth in insurance policies and loans. Revenue decline was attributed to a restructured arrangement removing $138M in commission revenue. Policies in force rose 18.1% to 1.9M, and adjusted EBITDA climbed 63.5% to $97.1M.
