Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 3 Months Ended | 6 Months Ended | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2020 | Jun. 30, 2021 | Dec. 31, 2020 |
Use of Estimates | | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. | |
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash | | Investments Held in the Trust Account The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: • Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and • Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | |
Concentration of Credit Risk | | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. | |
Income Taxes | | Income Taxes FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. | |
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders of Hippo Enterprises Inc. | | Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 9,000,000, of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class | |
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption | | Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 19,975,356 and 20,484,749, respectively, of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. | |
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering | | Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating non-current | |
Derivative warrant liabilities | | Derivative Warrant Liabilities The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed The warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period until they are exercised. The initial fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the fair value of Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2021 is based on observable listed prices for such warrants. The fair value of the Public Warrants as of December 31, 2020 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. | |
Risk and Uncertainties | | Risk and Uncertainties On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 | |
Liquidity and Capital Resources | | Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $101,000 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $397,000. The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately $194,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the promissory note (see Note 4), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the promissory note as of September 21, 2020 (see Note 4). In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan. | |
Emerging Growth Company | | Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. | |
Basis of Presentation | | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for Form 10-K/A filed | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt (Subtopic 470-20) and (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which ASU 2020-06 on The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncement if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements. | |

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in Reinvent Technology Partners Z prospectus on Form S-4/A The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported revenue, expenses, net loss or the consolidate balance sheets. | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company assesses whether they are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date. If the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE and records noncontrolling interest in consolidated financial statements to recognize the minority ownership interest. If the Company is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE applicable U.S. GAAP. |
Use of Estimates | | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, loss and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) reserves, provision for commission slide and cancellations, reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses and LAE, the fair values of investments, common stock, share-based awards, preferred stock warrant liabilities, contingent consideration liabilities, embedded derivative liabilities, acquired intangible assets and goodwill, deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions, and revenue recognition. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. These estimates are informed by experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. |
Segment Information | | | Segment Information The Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has a single operating and reportable segment structure. All the Company’s long-lived assets are in the United States. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash | | | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash consists of cash on deposit. The Company considers all highly liquid securities readily convertible to cash, that mature within three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash relates to cash restricted to support issued letter of credits and collateral to insurers. The Company’s restricted cash also includes fiduciary assets. |
Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities | | | Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities In its capacity as an insurance agent and broker, the Company collects premiums from insureds and, after deducting its commission, remits the premiums to the respective insurers. The Company also processes claims on behalf of insurers and collects claims from insurers on behalf of insureds. Premiums collected from insureds but not yet remitted to insurance companies and claims collected from insurance companies but not yet remitted to insureds are fiduciary assets. Fiduciary assets are recorded within restricted cash in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unremitted insurance premiums and claims are held in a fiduciary capacity and the obligation to remit these funds is recorded as fiduciary liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Investments | | | Investments The Company has categorized its investment portfolio as available-for-sale |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | | | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are publicly accessible at the measurement date. • Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, restricted cash, fixed maturities, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts and preferred stock warrants. Cash equivalents and restricted cash are principally stated at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value. Short-term investments and preferred stock warrants are reported at fair value. The recorded carrying amount of accounts receivable, assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts, and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | | | Concentration of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, fixed maturities available-for-sale, securities, or securities with average credit quality of AA- off-balance-sheet The Company enters into quota share and excess of loss contracts which may be susceptible to catastrophe exposure. The ceding of insurance does not legally discharge the Company from its primary liability for the full amount of the policy coverage, and therefore the Company will be required to pay the loss and bear collection risk if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreement. To minimize exposure to significant losses from reinsurance insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers, monitors concentrations of credit risk and, in certain circumstances, holds substantial collateral (in the form of funds withheld and letters of credit) as security under the reinsurance agreements. |
Accounts Receivable | | | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of premium receivables and commission receivables and is reported net of an allowance for premium amounts or estimated uncollectible commission. Such allowance is based upon an ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, the creditworthiness of the insured and other relevant factors. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are written off against the allowance. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has established an allowance of $0.5 million and $0.0 million, respectively. Write-offs of receivables have not been material to the Company during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Reinsurance | | | Reinsurance Reinsurance recoverable, including amounts related to incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”), represent paid losses and LAE and reserves for unpaid losses and LAE ceded to reinsurers that are subject to reimbursement under reinsurance treaties. To minimize exposure to losses related to a reinsurer’s inability to pay, the financial condition of such reinsurer is evaluated initially upon placement of the reinsurance and periodically thereafter. In addition to considering the financial condition of a reinsurer, the collectability of the reinsurance recoverable is evaluated based upon a number of other factors. Such factors include the amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, disputes, any collateral or letters of credit held and other relevant factors. To the extent that an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable is established, amounts deemed to be uncollectible would be written off against the allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance recoverable. The Company currently has no allowance for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable. Ceded premium written is recorded in accordance with the applicable terms of the reinsurance contracts and ceded premium earned is charged against revenue over the period of the reinsurance contracts. Ceded losses incurred reduce net loss and LAE incurred over the applicable periods of the reinsurance contracts with third-party reinsurers. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the liability associated with the reinsured business and consistent with the terms of the underlying contract. |
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, net of Ceding Commissions | | | Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, net of Ceding Commissions Incremental direct costs of acquiring insurance contracts and certain costs related directly to the acquisition process are deferred and amortized over the term of the policies or reinsurance treaties to which they relate. Those costs include commissions, premium taxes, and board and bureau fees. Ceding commissions relating to non-deferrable pro-rata |
Premium Deficiency | | | Premium Deficiency A premium deficiency is recognized if the sum of expected losses and LAE, unamortized acquisition costs, and policy maintenance costs exceeds the remaining unearned premiums. A premium deficiency would first be recognized by charging any unamortized acquisition costs to expense to the extent required to eliminate the deficiency. If the premium deficiency was greater than unamortized acquisition costs, a liability would be accrued for the excess deficiency. The Company does not consider anticipated investment income when determining if a premium deficiency exists. There was no premium deficiency at December 31, 2020 or 2019. |
Property and Equipment | | | Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment and two years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are also depreciated using the straight-line method and are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement. Depreciation expense totaled $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the related accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in interest and other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Capitalized Internal Use Software | | | Capitalized Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes the costs to develop its internal use software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria, in addition to costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | | | Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date on the consolidated balance sheets. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The determination of estimated fair value requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. As a result, the Company has up to one year to finalize its estimates of fair value, any changes of which would be offset against previously recorded goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as they are incurred. Included in the purchase price of an acquisition may be an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with contingent consideration. The fair value of contingent consideration is based upon the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of an acquired business in accordance with the provisions contained in the respective purchase agreement(s). Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. When the Company determines net assets acquired does not meet the definition of a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an acquisition of assets and, therefore, no goodwill is recorded. |
Amortization and Impairment | | | Amortization and Impairment Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if necessary. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company may initially perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the goodwill balance is impaired. If a qualitative assessment is not performed or if a determination is made that it is not more likely than not that the value of the respective reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, then the Company will perform a two-step no The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such asset may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. There were no material impairment losses recognized on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserve | | | Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserve Recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserve represents the Company’s best estimate of the amounts yet to be paid for all loss and loss adjustment expenses that will be paid on claims that occurred during the period and prior, whether those claims are currently known or unknown. The Company’s carriers are required to estimate and hold a provision for the carriers’ loss and loss adjustment expense reserve as of a given date. Loss and loss adjustment reserves at December 31, 2020 are the amount of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense less the paid amounts as of December 31, 2020. Ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense for an accident period is the sum of the following items: 1- Loss and loss adjustment expense paid for an accident period as of a given evaluation date 2- Case reserves for loss and loss adjustment expense for losses for an accident period that have been reported but not yet paid as of a given evaluation date 3- IBNR amounts for loss and loss adjustment expense for an accident period are the costs of events or conditions that have not been reported to, or specifically identified by the Company, as of a given date, but have occurred during the period. Case reserves are established within the claims adjustment process based on all known circumstances of a claim at the time. In addition, IBNR reserves are established by the Company based on reported Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses and actuarially determined estimates of ultimate Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses. The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserve amounts are reviewed quarterly, and adjustments, if any, are reflected in current operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which they become known. The establishment of new loss and loss adjustment expense reserves or the adjustment of previously recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserves could result in significant positive or negative changes to our financial condition for any particular period. While the Company believes that it has made a reasonable estimate of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, the ultimate loss experience may not be as reliably predicted as may be the case with other insurance expenses, and it is possible that actual Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses will be higher or lower than the loss and loss adjustment reserve amount recorded by the Company. |
Provision for Commission | | | Provision for Commission Provision for commission includes return commission payable to insurers based on the actual performance of insurance policies issued by the Company against a contractual range of performance targets. The Company’s reserve estimation is based on current and historical performance of the portfolio of insurance policies placed with the insurance carriers. Provision for commission also includes cancellation reserve which represent the Company’s estimate of return commission payable to insureds based on policy cancellations after the effective date. The Company’s estimation for the reserve uses historical policy cancellation. The commission slide and cancellation liabilities are based on assumptions and estimates, and while management believes the amount recorded is the Company’s best estimate, the ultimate liability may differ from the amount recorded. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed, and any adjustments are reflected in the period in which they become known. |
Leases | | | Leases The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or capital leases. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s leases are categorized as operating. In certain lease agreements, the Company may receive rent holidays and other incentives. For operating leases, the Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis once control of the space is achieved, without regard to deferred payment terms such as rent holidays that defer the commencement date of required payments. Additionally, incentives received are treated as a reduction of costs over the term of the agreement. |
Revenue Recognition | | | Revenue Recognition Net Earned Premium Net earned premium represents the earned portion of the Company’s gross written premium for insurance policies written or assumed by the Company and less ceded written premium (any portion of the Company’s gross written premium that is ceded to third-party reinsurers under the Company’s reinsurance agreements). The Company earns written premiums on a pro-rata Commission Income, net includes 1. Managing General Agent (“MGA”) Commission: The Company operates as a MGA for multiple insurers. The Company designs and underwrites insurance products on behalf of the insurers culminating in the sale of insurance policies. The Company earns recurring commission and policy fees associated with the policies, they sell. While the Company has underwriting authority and responsibility for administering claims, the Company does not take the risk associated with policies on the consolidated balance sheets. Rather, the Company works with carrier platforms and a diversified panel of highly rated reinsurance companies who pay the Company commission in exchange for the opportunity to take that risk on their balance sheets. The Company’s performance obligation associated with these contracts is the placement of the policy, which is met on the effective data. Upon issuance of a new policy, the Company charge policy fees and inspection fees, retain the share of ceding commission, and remit the balance premium to the respective insurers. Subsequent ceding commission adjustments arising from policy changes such as endorsements, are recognized when the adjustments can be reasonably estimated. 2. Agency Commission: The Company also operate licensed insurance agencies that are engaged solely in the sale of policies, including non-Hippo 3. Ceding Commission: The Company receives revenue based on the premium they cede to third-party reinsurers for the compensation reimbursement for the Company’s acquisition and underwriting services. Excess of ceding commission over the cost of acquisition and underwriting expenses is included in commission income, net line on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the policies that the Company write on their own carrier as MGA, the Company recognizes the commission as ceding commission on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company earns commission on reinsurance premium ceded in a matter consistent with the recognition of the earned premium on the underlying insurance policies, on a pro-rata 4. Carrier Fronting Fees: Through the Company’s insurance-as-a-service pro-rata 5. Claim Processing Fees: As a MGA the Company receives a fee, that is calculated as a percent of the premium, from the insurers in exchange for providing claims adjudication services. The Claims adjudication services are provided over the term of the policy and recognized ratably over the same period. Service and Fee Income Service and fee income mainly represent policy fees and small portion of other revenue. The Company directly bill policyholders for policy fees and collect and retain fees per the terms of the contracts between the Company and our insurers. Similar to the commission revenue, the Company estimates a cancellation reserve for policy fees using historical information. The performance obligation associated with these fees is satisfied at a point in time upon completion of the underwriting process, which is the policy effective date. Accordingly, the Company recognizes all fees as revenue on the policy effective date. Disaggregated Revenue The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by major source (in millions): Year Ended 2020 2019 Net earned premium $ 17.1 $ — MGA commissions, net 12.4 20.1 Agency commissions, net 10.0 6.6 Policy fees 4.3 2.8 Claims processing fees 4.7 2.2 Other revenue 2.0 0.8 Net investment income 1.1 2.2 Total revenue, net $ 51.6 $ 34.7 All revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are from business conducted in the United States. |
Insurance Related Expenses | | | Insurance Related Expenses Insurance related expenses primarily consist of amortization of commissions costs and deferred acquisition costs, and credit card processing fees not charged to the Company’s customers. Insurance related expenses also include employee compensation, including stock-based compensation and benefits, of our underwriting teams as well as allocated occupancy costs and related overhead based on headcount, and amortization of capitalized internal use software costs. Insurance related expenses are offset by the portion of ceding commission income which represents reimbursement of successful acquisition costs related to the underlying policies. Additionally, insurance related expenses are comprised of the costs of providing bound policies and delivering claims services to the Company’s customers. These costs include technology service costs including software, data services, and third-party call center costs in addition to personnel-related costs. |
Technology and Development | | | Technology and Development Technology and development expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, including stock-based compensation and benefits for the Company’s technology staff, which includes information technology development, infrastructure support, actuarial, and third-party services. Technology and development also includes allocated facility costs and related overhead based on headcount. |
Sales and Marketing | | | Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of sales commissions expense for policies placed on third-party carriers by us as a managing general agent, advertising costs, and marketing expenditures as well as employee compensation, including stock-based compensation and benefits for employees engaged in sales, marketing, data analytics, and consumer acquisition functions. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were $11.8 million and $22.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |
General and Administrative | | | General and Administrative General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, including stock-based compensation and benefits for the Company’s finance, human resources, legal, and general management functions as well as facilities and professional services. |
Interest and Other Expense | | | Interest and Other Expense Interest and other expense primarily consist of interest expense incurred for the convertible promissory notes, and fair value adjustments on preferred stock warrant liabilities and embedded derivative liability on convertible promissory notes. |
Share-Based Compensation Expense | | | Share-Based Compensation Expense The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company has elected to record forfeitures as they occur. Certain employees early exercised stock options in exchange for promissory notes. The Company has accounted for the promissory notes as nonrecourse in their entirety since the promissory notes are not aligned with a corresponding percentage of the underlying shares. The fair value of the stock option is recognized over the requisite service period through a charge to share-based compensation expenses. The maturity date of the promissory notes reflects the legal term of the stock option for purposes of valuing the award. |
Income Taxes | | | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, no amount of benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized of any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency. |

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | Basis of Presentation The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the period presented. As described in Note 2 — Restatement of Financial Statements, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period from October 2, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 (the “Affected Periods”), are restated in this proxy statement/prospectus to correct the misapplication of accounting guidance related to the Company’s warrants in the Company’s previously issued audited and unaudited condensed financial statements for such periods. The restated financial statements are indicated as “Restated” in the audited and unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes, as applicable. See Note 2 — Restatement of Financial Statements for further discussion. | | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. | | |
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash | Investments Held in Trust Account The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in unrealized loss on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information . | | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: • Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and • Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The fair value for trading securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets. | | |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000, and investments held in Trust Account. At December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. | | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. | | |
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders of Hippo Enterprises Inc. | Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 9,000,000, of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class | | |
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption | Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are | | |
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering | Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. | | |
Derivative warrant liabilities | Derivative warrant liabilities The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company accounts for its 9,000,000 common stock warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering and exercise of over-allotment option (4,600,000 warrants) and Private Placement (4,400,000 warrants) as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Public Offering, over-Allotment exercise and Private Placement has been estimated using Monte-Carlo simulations at each measurement date. | | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. | | |
Risk and Uncertainties | Risk and Uncertainties On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 | | |
Liquidity and Capital Resources | Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $623,000 in its operating bank accounts, and working capital of approximately $1.5 million. The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (see Note 6), the loan of approximately $60,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (see Note 6), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note as of November 23, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 6). As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination and one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. | | |
Emerging Growth Company | Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. | | |
