● Kin finished 2021 with $104.8 million in Total Managed Premium¹, four times higher than the $25.0 million of Total Managed Premium at the end of 2020.

● $99.2 million (95%) of Total Managed Premium in 2021 was written through the Kin Interinsurance Network (the “Carrier”), a reciprocal exchange managed by Kin Insurance, Inc.

● Premium Renewal Rate² on the Carrier remained strong at 102% in December 2021, increasing the Premium Renewal Rate to 97% in 2021, a 400 basis point increase over 2020.

“Kin achieved several remarkable milestones in 2021 – we exceeded our annual goal for total managed premium by 7%, increased our premium renewal rate to 97%, and tripled the number of customers we serve,” said Sean Harper, Chief Executive Officer of Kin. “These results differentiate our business model and signal that our value proposition continues to resonate with people who want more simplicity and customization when it comes to securing essential and affordable coverage.”

“Kin is winning with fast growth, great unit economics, and loyal customers,” said Josh Cohen, Chief Financial Officer of Kin. “We’re equally, if not more excited, about our future growth trajectory as we plan to expand into more geographic markets that will help us reach a larger portion of the approximate $110 billion aggregate home insurance market.”
