About Tim Bixby
Tim Bixby, CFO of Lemonade, participated in the company’s Q1 2026 earnings call on April 29, 2026. He reported that in-force premium grew 32% year-on-year to $1.33 billion, driven by a 23% increase in customers and a 7% increase in premium per customer. Bixby stated that the company added 158,000 new customers in Q1, a 37% increase from approximately 115,000 in the prior year. He noted that gross profit rose 159% to $100 million, with an adjusted gross margin of 39%, and that revenue grew 71% to $258 million while the adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $17 million. Bixby also discussed the company’s retention and reinsurance strategy, stating that the ceding rate on reinsurance was approximately 30% in Q1, down from a peak of 55% the previous year, and that it would decline further to around 25% in Q2. He attributed this to a shift in the rate of business retained, which he said has increased consistently quarter over quarter since a reinsurance renewal in July 2025. Bixby provided guidance for Q2 and full-year 2026, indicating a 32% top-line growth rate in Q2 and 33% for the full year, with implied revenue growth of roughly 77% and 63%, respectively.
