- The company achieved 20% growth in in-force premium (IFP) to $747 million, while operating expenses decreased by 5%, showcasing strong operational efficiency and scalability.
- Lemonade plans to accelerate growth in 2024 as more rate approvals come into effect, especially in home and car products, leading to increased opportunities for profitable growth.
- Lemonade is experiencing rate adequacy challenges in its homeowners insurance business, causing the company to have less appetite for growth in this segment until adequate rates are approved, which could limit growth and profitability in the near term.
- Regulatory delays in approving rate increases are hindering Lemonade's ability to adjust premiums to match risk, particularly in key markets like California, leading to reduced sales in homeowners insurance, which may impact revenue growth.
