Expanded geographic footprint of Strategic and Enterprise Accounts channel to cover 75% of the country through adding Massachusetts, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin
Announced plans to become publicly traded via merger with Capitol Investment Corp. V

SAN FRANCISCO / May 25, 2021 / Businesswire / - Doma Holdings, Inc. ('Doma' or the 'Company'), a leading force for disruptive change in the real estate industry, today reported financial results and key operating data for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Doma's results demonstrate strong growth, market share gains, and the differentiated value of its technology-first approach to real estate transactions. This news comes on the heels of Doma entering into a business combination agreement in March 2021 with Capitol Investment Corp. V (NYSE: CAP, CAP WS and CAP.U) ('Capitol'), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company.

'Doma is bringing proprietary machine learning technology to mortgage closings, enabling lenders and homeowners to benefit from a faster, less expensive, and all-around better closing experience,' said Max Simkoff, CEO of Doma. 'Our first quarter results showed strong growth, exceeding our internal plan, and we expect our great execution and momentum to continue. As speed continues to be a huge differentiator for closing a mortgage and digital-first consumer experiences become the expected norm by homebuyers, we see tremendous potential for Doma to deliver significant value across the real estate transaction spectrum and we're excited for what the future holds.'

First Quarter Results

Total revenues of $128 million increased by $57 million, or 80%, compared to the same period in 2020. Retained premiums and fees of $57 million increased by $20 million, or 52%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in total revenues and retained premiums and fees was driven by significant growth in closed orders from Doma's direct business and strong growth from its third-party agent channels. The pace of growth also reflects Doma's mission-oriented approach to selling based on value, enabled by the structural margin advantages of its machine intelligence-powered digital mortgage closing platform.

Closed orders amounted to approximately 33 thousand in the first quarter, representing an 83% increase compared to the prior year period, with closed orders for strategic and enterprise accounts increasing by 537%.

(1) Reconciliations of retained premiums and fees, adjusted gross profit, and the other measures used in this press release that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP') to the nearest measures prepared in accordance with GAAP have been provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures.'

Excluding the impact of certain branches that were closed in the prior year in connection with the integration of the North American Title acquisition, retained premiums and fees and closed order growth would have been 68% and 106%, respectively.

GAAP Gross profit of $26 million increased by $13 million, or 98%, compared to the same period in 2020. Adjusted gross profit of $29 million increased by $15 million, or 101%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in both gross profit and adjusted gross profit resulted from significant growth in retained premiums and fees, as well as increased labor efficiency realized from productivity gains and the impact of the Doma Intelligence platform. The ratio of adjusted gross profit to retained premiums and fees increased to 51% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 38% in the same period in the prior year.

Net loss improved by $5 million compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA improved by $10 million, driven by higher adjusted gross profit.

'Our strong first quarter results reflect the inherent quality of the offering we have built, centered around our machine intelligence powered platform. Moreover, our growth trends and profitability measures have us on track to achieve our long-term financial targets,' stated Noaman Ahmad, CFO of Doma. 'We demonstrated meaningful increases in closed order growth, retained premiums and fees, and profitability in this past quarter. We believe our planned salesforce and geographic expansion, together with increased marketing, will drive continued strong organic growth. The net proceeds from our transaction with Capitol are expected to further accelerate our growth by facilitating potential tuck-in acquisitions of local title agencies and broadening our product offering to include parts of the loan-closing process such as appraisal and home warranty. We look forward to achieving our vision of becoming a market leader revolutionizing the home ownership experience.'

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as retained premiums and fees, adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ('GAAP'). Retained premiums and fees is defined as revenue less third-party agent retentions. Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit, plus depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock based compensation. Doma believes that the use of retained premiums and fees, adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess operational performance and trends in, and in comparing Doma's financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Doma's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein in conjunction with Doma's financial statements and the related notes thereto. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations in this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.
