The earnings call reflected strong financial performance with record metrics and positive future guidance, despite challenges in the Health vertical and upcoming regulatory changes.
Company Guidance
During the MediaAlpha, Inc. Q3 2024 earnings call, the company reported record Transaction Value of $451.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $26.3 million, surpassing their guidance. The property and casualty (P&C) vertical saw a 52% sequential increase in Transaction Value, and the Health vertical was up 9% year-over-year. For Q4, the company anticipates Transaction Value to be between $470 million and $495 million, with revenue projected to range from $275 million to $295 million. Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 is expected to be between $29.5 million and $32.5 million. Despite the impending TCPA 1-to-1 consent rules, which will affect only 5% to 6% of their total Transaction Value, MediaAlpha does not foresee a significant impact on their business due to their focus on clicks rather than leads.
