Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Trupanion, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trupanion, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 13, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Reserve for Veterinary Invoices
Description of the Matter The Company’s reserve for veterinary invoices totaled $55.9 million as of December 31, 2025. As discussed in Note 1 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the reserve for veterinary invoices is an estimate of the future amount the Company will pay for veterinary claims that have been incurred but not yet paid as of the reporting date. The reserve also includes the Company's estimate of related internal processing costs. The Company’s reserve for veterinary invoices is based on an actuarial analysis of observed claim settlement patterns including, but not limited to, the number of veterinary invoices the Company expects to receive, the average cost of those veterinary invoices, the time elapsed between the date of loss and the date of payment, the appropriate segmentation between product lines or claim processing method, and the expected cost to process and administer claim payments.
Auditing the Company’s reserve for veterinary invoices is complex and required the involvement of our actuarial specialists due to the sensitivity of the estimated reserve to management’s assumptions. Estimating the ultimate cost to settle the reserve for veterinary invoices is subjective due to the possibility that the actual veterinary invoice payments may not be comparable to historical trends experienced by the Company.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the process for estimating the reserve for veterinary invoices. This included, among other procedures, understanding management review controls in place over the review and approval of methods and assumptions used in estimating the reserve for veterinary invoices.
To test the reserve for veterinary invoices, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the actuarial analyses by testing reconciliations of the underlying historical veterinary paid invoice data recorded in the source systems to the Company’s actuarial analyses, and comparing a sample of paid veterinary invoices to source documentation. With the assistance of EY actuarial specialists, we evaluated the appropriateness of the actuarial methods and assumptions used to estimate the reserve for veterinary invoices by comparing such methods and assumptions to our expectations of those used for the specific type of insurance, current and historical invoice payment patterns, and any operational or external changes affecting claim payments. We also compared management’s recorded reserves to a range of reasonable reserve estimates calculated independently by our EY actuarial specialists. Additionally, we performed a hindsight analysis of the prior period estimates using subsequent claims development.

Trupanion, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Trupanion, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the "Company") provides medical insurance for cats and dogs in the United States, Canada, and certain countries in Continental Europe. Through its data-driven, vertically-integrated approach, the Company develops and offers high-value medical insurance products, priced to take into account each pet's unique characteristics and coverage level.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings, total assets, total liabilities, total shareholders' equity, or cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash on deposit may be in excess of the applicable federal deposit insurance corporation limits.
The Company considers any cash account not held in trust for a third party that is contractually restricted to withdrawal or use to be restricted cash. The Company is required to maintain certain restricted cash balances to comply with insurance company regulations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all requirements.
Accounts and Other Receivables
Accounts and other receivables are comprised of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade receivables are primarily related to the Company’s other business segment where the Company generates revenue from underwriting policies through unaffiliated general agents. These policies are typically annual policies, with monthly payment terms through the end of the twelve-month period. The Company had $ 281.9 million and $ 252.0 million accounts receivable associated with underwriting these policies as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Deferred Acquisition Costs
The Company incurs certain costs, including premium taxes, enrollment-based bonuses, and referral fees that directly relate to the successful acquisition of new or renewal customer contracts. These costs are deferred and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized over the related policy term to the applicable financial statement line item, either new pet acquisition expense or other cost of revenue. Deferred acquisition costs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $ 8.5 million and $ 7.5 million, respectively. Amortized deferred acquisition costs classified within new pet acquisition expense amounted to $ 9.3 million, $ 6.9 million, and $ 6.0 million and amortized deferred acquisition costs classified within other cost of revenue amounted to $ 55.3 million, $ 51.5 million, and $ 45.6 million, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
68
Investments
The Company invests in investment grade fixed maturity securities of varying maturities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Held-to-maturity securities are reported at amortized cost. Premiums or discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the security and included as interest income within Other (income), net. There were $ 1.0 million in realized gains and $ 0.1 million in realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities during the year ended December 31, 2025, $ 0.4 million in realized gains and $ 0.3 million in realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities during the year ended December 31, 2024, and $ 0.3 million in realized gains and $ 0.9 million in realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities during the years ended December 31, 2023.
Each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether declines in fair value of its investments below carrying value are the result of expected credit losses. This evaluation includes the Company's ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of carrying value occurs, including an evaluation of all available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance through other (income), net within the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs based on the observable nature of those inputs. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
The Company's financial instruments, in addition to those presented in Note 7, Fair Value, include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Property, Equipment, and Internal-Use Software
Property, equipment, and internal-use software primarily consists of building, land and land improvements, office equipment, and internal-use software related to the Company’s website and internal support systems. Internal-use software is capitalized during the application development stage of the project. Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective asset:
Land Not depreciable
Land improvements 10 years
Building 39 years
Software 3 to 5 years
Office equipment 3 to 5 years
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. The Company reviews these assets for impairment at least annually or if indicators of potential impairment exist. Acquired finite-lived intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company recognized impairment charges on goodwill totaling $1.1 million and $5.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and no goodwill impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company recognized no impairment on indefinite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. See Note 4 to these financial statements for further details on goodwill and related impairment charges.
69
Asset Impairment
Long-lived assets, including property, equipment, internal-use software, and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured as the amount the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value. The Company recognized no impairment losses on long-lived assets, including property, equipment, internal-use software, and finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
Reserve for Veterinary Invoices
Reserve for veterinary invoices is an estimate of the future amount the Company will pay for veterinary claims that have been incurred but not yet paid as of the reporting date. The reserve also includes the Company's estimate of related internal processing costs. To determine the accrual, the Company makes assumptions based on its historical experience, including the number of veterinary invoices we expect to receive, the average cost of those veterinary invoices, the time elapsed between the date of loss and the date of payment, the member's chosen deductible, and the Company's expected cost to process and administer the payments. As of each balance sheet date, the Company reevaluates its reserve and adjusts the estimate for new information.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is primarily related to the Company’s other business segment where the Company generates revenue from underwriting policies through unaffiliated general agents. These policies are typically annual policies for which revenue is recognized pro-rata over the twelve-month policy period. Deferred revenue also consists of subscription payments received or billed in advance of the subscription services within the Company's subscription business.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized pro-rata over the term of the customer contracts. The Company generates revenue primarily from subscription payments and through underwriting policies for unaffiliated general agents. For the year ended December 31, 2025, premiums from policies sourced by general agents accounted for 30 % of our total revenue, and one general agent sourced members whose premiums accounted for over 10% of our total revenue.
Veterinary Invoice Expense
Veterinary invoice expense includes the Company’s costs to review and pay veterinary invoices, administer the payments, and provide member services, and other operating expenses directly or indirectly related to this process. The Company also accrues for veterinary claims that have been incurred but not yet paid and the estimated cost of processing these invoices. Veterinary invoice expense also includes amounts paid by unaffiliated general agents on our behalf, and an estimate of amounts incurred and not yet paid for the other business segment.
Other Cost of Revenue
Other cost of revenue for the subscription business segment includes direct and indirect member service expenses, Territory Partner renewal commissions, credit card transaction fees and premium tax expenses. Other cost of revenue for the other business segment includes the commissions the Company pays to unaffiliated general agents and costs to administer the programs in the other business segment.
Technology and Development
Technology and development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and related expenses for the Company's technology staff, which includes information technology development, security, infrastructure support, and third-party services. It also includes expenses associated with development in new geographies and new products and offerings..
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses for the Company’s finance, actuarial, human resources, legal, regulatory, and general management functions, as well as facilities and professional services.
New Pet Acquisition Expense
New pet acquisition expenses primarily consist of costs to acquire a pet (including costs associated directly to supporting the first year of a member), personnel costs, costs to educate veterinarians and consumers about the benefits of Trupanion, costs to generate leads and to convert leads into enrolled pets, as well as print, online and promotional advertising costs.
70
Other (Income), Net
Other (income), net, totaled $ 21.9 million, $ 14.4 million, and $ 7.7 million, including interest income of $ 12.3 million, $ 12.4 million, and $ 9.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Refer to Note 6, Other Investments, for more information on amounts recorded to Other (income), net in relation to the Company's preferred stock investment in Baystride, Inc.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $ 23.8 million, $ 13.3 million and $ 16.9 million, in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company records advertising costs within New pet acquisition expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee and non-employee restricted stock units, is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on fair value. The fair value of restricted stock units is the common stock price as of the measurement date.
Stock-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability approach for accounting and reporting income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases, operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a tax rate change is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided for when it is considered more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized. Penalties and interest are classified as a component of income taxes.
F oreign Currency Translation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were translated to U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies were translated to U.S. dollars using a weighted average rate for the relevant reporting period. Cumulative translation adjustments of $ 0.7 million, $( 3.1 ) million, and $( 0.1 ) million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Leases
The Company, at the inception of a contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease. The Company records right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease obligations for its operating leases which are initially recognized based on the discounted future lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company records right-of-use assets within Other Long-Term Assets and lease obligations within Other Liabilities. If the rate implicit in the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company's applicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the sum of the lease payments. Lease term is defined as the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU asset and lease obligations for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
Acquisition of Intellectual Property
The Company’s intellectual property acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations. To conclude if a transaction is an asset acquisition, the Company considers if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The Company then considers if the acquired set of assets consist of inputs and processes that contribute to the creation of outputs.
71
The acquired assets are recognized based on their cost to the Company, which includes related transaction costs. The Company allocates the purchase price based on relative fair value of the assets acquired. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion on the Company's acquisition of intellectual property.
Nonmonetary Exchange
The Company accounts for nonmonetary exchanges at fair value. If the transaction lacks commercial substance or fair value is not determinable, the asset received is recorded at the carrying amount of the asset surrendered. The Company evaluates each transaction individually to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Reclassifications
The Company’s available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Upon realization, through sale or maturity, realized gains and losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on a specific identification basis. The Company has made a policy election to report the reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net from the beginning to the end of the period within our Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Note 14, Accumulated Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Insurance Operations
Effective January 1, 2015, the Company formed a segregated account in Bermuda as part of Wyndham Insurance Company (SAC) Limited (WICL) and entered into a revised fronting and reinsurance arrangement with Accelerant Insurance Company of Canada, formerly known as Omega General Insurance Company, to include its newly formed segregated account. The Company maintains all risk with the business written in Canada and consolidates the entity in its financial statements. Dividends are allowed subject to the Segregated Accounts Company Act of 2000, which allows for dividends only to the extent that the entity remains solvent and the value of its assets remain greater than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts.
A portion of the Company's business in Canada is written by Accelerant and the risk is assumed by the Company through a fronting and reinsurance agreement. Premiums are recognized and earned pro rata over the terms of the related customer contracts. Revenue recognized under this agreement in 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $ 127.2 million, $ 206.7 million and $ 167.6 million, respectively, and deferred revenue relating to this arrangement at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 1.3 million and $ 11.3 million, respectively. Reinsurance revenue was 9 %, 16 %, and 15 % of total revenue in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Cash designated for the purpose of paying claims related to this reinsurance agreement was $ 5.9 million and $ 7.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, as required by the Canadian Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions regulations related to the Company’s reinsurance agreement with Accelerant, the Company is required to fund a Canadian Trust account with the greater of CAD $2.0 million or 120% of unearned Canadian premium plus 20% of outstanding Canadian claims, including all incurred but not reported claims. As of December 31, 2025, the account balance was CAD $8.7 million and the Company was in compliance with all requirements.
During 2025, the Company began directly underwriting a material portion of its Canadian business through its wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, GPIC. The Company has not transferred any risk to third-party reinsurers.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and debt. The Company manages its risk by investing cash equivalents and investment securities in money market instruments and securities of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies and high-credit-quality issuers of debt securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, which improves and expands upon annual income tax disclosures, primarily relating to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to the Company's updated annual income tax disclosures in Note 17, Income Taxes.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
72
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, which modernizes the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-06.
2. Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding using the treasury-stock method. Potential shares of common stock outstanding include stock options, and unvested restricted stock units.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except share and per share information):
As of December 31,
2025 2024 2023
Basic earnings per share:
Net income (loss) $ 19,433 $ ( 9,633 ) $ ( 44,693 )
Shares used in computation:
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 42,958,654 42,158,773 41,436,882
Basic earnings per share $ 0.45 $ ( 0.23 ) $ ( 1.08 )
Diluted earnings per share:
Net income (loss) $ 19,433 $ ( 9,633 ) $ ( 44,693 )
Shares used in computation:
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 42,958,654 42,158,773 41,436,882

Diluted earnings per share $ 0.45 $ ( 0.23 ) $ ( 1.08 )
The following potentially dilutive equity securities were not included in the diluted earnings per share of common stock calculation because they would have had an antidilutive effect:
Year Ended December 31,
2025 2024 2023
Stock options — 347,334 408,970

Depreciation expense related to property, equipment, and internal-use software was $ 11.2 million, $ 11.2 million and $ 6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill arises from business acquisitions in which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less assumed liabilities. The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill or indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill or indefinite-lived assets are impaired, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of reporting unit fair value using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. Estimates of fair value are based on the best information available to the Company as of the assessment date.
As of December 31, 2025, all of the Company's goodwill has been assigned to two reporting units within our Subscription Business operating segment: Trupanion Core - North America and PetExpert.
The following is a summary of goodwill by reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
Subscription Business
Balance as of January 1, 2024 $ 43,713
Impairment charges ( 5,229 )
Effects of foreign currency ( 1,513 )
Balance as of December 31, 2024 36,971
Impairment charges ( 1,129 )
Effects of foreign currency 3,540
Balance as of December 31, 2025 $ 39,382
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, goodwill consisted of the following (in thousands):
December 31,
2025 2024
Goodwill, gross $ 45,740 $ 42,200
Accumulated impairment losses ( 6,358 ) ( 5,229 )
Goodwill, net $ 39,382 $ 36,971
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test for both reporting units with assigned goodwill and recognized impairment charges of $1.1 million on the goodwill of PetExpert, based on the fair value assessments performed after circumstances indicated that the goodwill of this reporting unit more likely than not had become impaired. These circumstances primarily related to the Company’s decision to slow expansion efforts as the Company focuses capital allocation on reporting units operating within the Company's stated financial guardrails.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test for all three reporting units with assigned goodwill and recognized impairment charges of $2.7 million and $2.5 million on the goodwill of Smart Paws and PetExpert, respectively, based on the fair value assessments performed after circumstances indicated that the goodwill of these reporting units more likely than not had become impaired. These circumstances primarily related to the Company’s decision to slow expansion efforts as the Company focuses capital allocation on reporting units operating within the Company's stated financial guardrails.
Following the impairment charges taken in 2024 and 2025, no goodwill remains for Smart Paws and $6.8 million of goodwill remains for PetExpert, which could be further impaired in the future if this reporting unit fails to meet its revised financial projections.
The Company determined that the Trupanion Core – North America reporting unit was not at risk of goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The following table presents the detail of intangible assets other than goodwill for the periods presented (in thousands):

The Company acquired an insurance company in 2007, which originally included licenses in 23 states. These licenses were valued at $ 4.8 million. The Company is currently licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Insurance licenses are renewed annually upon payment of various fees assessed by the issuing state. Renewal costs are expensed as incurred. Insurance licenses are considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset given the planned renewal of the certificates of authority and applicable licenses for the foreseeable future.
Additionally, as detailed in Note 6, Other Investments, during 2025 the Company acquired intellectual property developed by Baystride, Inc., valued at $ 14.8 million on the acquisition date. This cost will be amortized over the intellectual property's estimated useful lives of 20 years once the patent is approved.
Amortization expense associated with intangible assets was $ 4.6 million, $ 5.3 million, and $ 5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, expected amortization expense relating to definite-lived intangible assets for each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

5. Investments
Available-for sale securities are classified as short-term versus long-term investments based on whether they represent the investment of funds available for current operations. Currently, all available-for-sale securities are considered short-term in nature. Held-to-maturity securities are classified as short-term versus long-term investments based on their maturity dates. The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains and losses, and estimated fair value of long-term and short-term investments by major security type and class of security were as follows as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2025, 14 of the securities held were in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale investments relate to interest rate changes. The Company does not expect material credit losses from its available-for-sale investments, considering the composition of the investment portfolio and the credit rating of these investments. The Company determined it is not likely to, and does not intend to, sell securities currently in a loss position prior to a potential recovery of their cost basis. The Company does not expect material credit losses from its held-to-maturity investments, considering the composition of the investment portfolio and the credit loss history of these investments.
Proceeds from the sales of fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale were $ 141.7 million and $ 77.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
6 . Other Investments
Preferred Stock Investment and Nonmonetary Exchange
The Company invested $ 7.0 million in the preferred stock of a variable interest entity, Baystride, Inc. ("Baystride"), a U.S.-based privately held corporation operating in the pet food industry. The Company did not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and was, therefore, not the primary beneficiary. The preferred stock investment in the entity was redeemable and, therefore, was accounted for as an available-for-sale debt security and measured at fair value at each balance sheet date — see Note 7.
On June 3, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for intellectual property developed by Baystride. In exchange for this intellectual property, the Company transferred all of its Baystride preferred stock back to Baystride. The Company concluded that the transaction met the definition of a nonmonetary exchange and an asset acquisition.
The Company determined that the cost to acquire the intellectual property was $ 14.9 million, which was comprised of the fair value of the Baystride preferred stock relinquished of $ 14.8 million and direct transaction costs of $ 0.1 million. The acquired intellectual property has been recorded as a patent within Intangible assets, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over a 20-year useful life. The nonmonetary exchange resulted in a gain of $ 7.8 million, calculated as the difference between the Company's initial $ 7.0 million investment in Baystride's preferred stock and its $ 14.8 million fair value on the transaction date. This gain was recorded to Other (income), net within the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Additionally, the Company had extended a $ 7.0 million revolving line of credit to Baystride to fund its inventory purchases. Borrowing amounts were subject to limitations based on Baystride’s forecasted revenues and inventory balances. The Company's investment and amounts loaned under the line of credit were recorded in other long-term assets on its consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding loan balance under the line of credit, including accrued interest, was paid in full and extinguished in July 2025 and was $ 1.6 million as of December 31, 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses
78
The Company regularly evaluates its investments for expected credit losses. The Company considers past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in estimating an allowance for credit losses. Additionally, the Company considers the ultimate collection of cash flows from its investments and whether the Company has the intent to sell, or if it is more likely than not the Company would be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost. Such evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Based on these considerations, the Company established an allowance for credit losses of $ 1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to its investment in the Baystride preferred stock. The credit loss allowance was reversed in the fourth quarter of 2024 as the fair value of the Company's investment in Baystride was determined to have recovered to an amount above the original investment amount. There was no change to the allowance for credit losses in 2025 prior to the exchange of the investment for intellectual property.
Investment in Joint Venture
In September 2018, the Company acquired a non-controlling equity interest in a joint venture in Australia, whereby it had committed to licensing certain intellectual property and contributing up to $ 2.2 million AUD upon the achievement of specific operational milestones over a period of at least four years from the agreement execution date. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had contributed $ 1.5 million AUD. This equity investment was accounted for using the equity method and was classified in other long-term assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company's share of income and losses from this equity method investment were included in gain (loss) from investment in joint venture on its consolidated statement of operations. Also included in this line item were income and expenses associated with administrative services provided to the joint venture. In March 2025, the Company restructured this relationship from a joint venture to a brand licenses and services agreement.

Total $ 233,916 $ 91,534 $ 134,466 $ 7,916
The Company measures the fair value of money market funds, classified as Level 1, based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair values of the Company's fixed maturity investments classified as Level 2 are based on either recent trades in inactive markets or quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost and the fair value and changes in unrealized gains and losses are disclosed in Note 5, Investments. The fair value of these investments is determined in the same manner as available-for-sale securities and are considered either a Level 1 or Level 2 measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company's preferred stock investment (see Note 6) was accounted for as an available-for-sale debt security, and measured at fair value at each balance sheet date and as of the transaction date. The estimated fair value of the preferred stock investment was a Level 3 measurement derived by discounted cash flow and market valuation techniques which utilized certain unobservable inputs such as the value of the underlying enterprise, volatility, time to liquidity and market interest rates. Significant changes in any of these unobservable inputs would result in a change in the fair value measurement.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company is or may become subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings involving members, other entities or regulatory bodies. Estimated liabilities are recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Company does not believe any such matters to be material individually or in the aggregate. These views are subject to change following the outcome of future events or the results of future developments.
9. Reserve for Veterinary Invoices
The reserve for veterinary invoices is an estimate of the future amount the Company will pay for insurance claims that have not been paid prior to the reporting date. The reserve also includes the Company's estimate of related internal processing costs. The reserve estimate involves actuarial projections and is based on management's assessment of facts and circumstances currently known, and assumptions about anticipated claims development patterns. The Company uses generally accepted actuarial methodologies, such as paid loss development methods, in estimating the amount of the reserve for veterinary invoices. The reserve is made for each of the Company's segments, subscription and other business, and is continually refined as the Company receives and pays veterinary invoices. Changes in management's assumptions and estimates may have a relatively large impact on the reserve and associated expense.

The unfavorable development for accident years 2024 and 2023 was primarily driven by higher than expected frequency of claims. Non-cash expenses are primarily comprised of stock-based compensation for employees performing claims processing related duties.
Summarized below are the changes in total liability for the Company's other business segment (in thousands):

The favorable development for accident year 2024 was driven by lower than expected frequency and to a lesser extent, lower than expected severity in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Reserve for veterinary invoices, by year of occurrence
In the following tables, the cumulative veterinary invoice expenses represent the total expense from received invoices as of December 31, 2025, by year the veterinary invoice relates to, referred to as the year of occurrence. Information for years 2022 through 2024 is provided as required supplementary information. Amounts in these tables are presented on a constant currency basis to remove the impact of changes in the foreign currency exchange rate on development. The cumulative expenses as of the end of each year are revalued using the currency exchange rate as of December 31, 2025. Due to variability in internal and external sources of claims data, and the lack of comparability of claim count information between those sources, it is impractical for the Company to disclose claim frequency information. As such, the cumulative number of veterinary invoices received is not included in the disclosures below.

Prior Credit Facility
On March 25, 2022 , the Company entered into a credit agreement with Piper Sandler Finance, LLC, acting as the administrative agent, that provided the Company with $ 150.0 million in credit (the "Prior Credit Facility"). The Prior Credit Facility obligated the Company to repay 0.25 % of any then-outstanding Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, on a quarterly basis.
In June 2025, the Company made a $ 14.9 million principal repayment on the Initial Term Loan in addition to the 0.25 % quarterly mandatory repayment. In November 2025, the Company repaid the Prior Credit Facility in full utilizing proceeds from its new Credit Facility.
In connection with repayment of the Prior Credit Facility, the Company recognized a loss of $ 1.6 million, recorded within Interest expense, which reflected the portion of debt issuance cost that was unamortized at the time of extinguishment.
PNC Facility
On November 4, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement with PNC Bank, National Association acting as the administrative agent, that provides the Company with $ 120.0 million in credit (the "PNC Facility") consisting of:
(a) an initial term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $ 100.0 million ("PNC Initial Term Loan"), which was funded at closing;
(b) commitments for revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $ 20.0 million (PNC Revolving Loans), of which $ 15.0 million was drawn and the rest may be drawn at any time prior to maturity.
The PNC Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Proceeds from the PNC Facility were utilized to pay off the Prior Credit Facility. The credit agreement with PNC Bank contains financial and other covenants. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial and other covenants.
To the extent not previously paid, the PNC Facility is due and payable on November 4, 2028. The Company will make quarterly principal payments of $ 2.5 million on the PNC Initial Term Facility. The Company may voluntarily prepay loans or reduce revolving commitments under the PNC Facility at any time without premium or penalty.
Loans under the PNC Facility bear interest at a reference rate plus an applicable margin, which will generally be the SOFR reference rate plus 2.75% per annum. The stated interest rate as of December 31, 2025 was approximately 6.42 % fo r the aggregate outstanding term loans. The Company incurred total debt issuance cost of approximat ely $ 0.8 million, wh ich is reported in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the PNC Facility, and is amortized as interest expense over the term of three years.

15. Segments
The Company has two reporting segments: subscription business and other business. The subscription business segment generates revenue primarily from subscription payments related to the Company's direct-to-consumer products. The other business segment generates revenue from other product offerings, primarily by underwriting policies on behalf of third parties with whom the Company has a business-to-business relationship. The other business segment has, and targets, a lower margin profile than the Company's subscription business segment. The Company does not undertake marketing efforts for these policies and has a business-to-business relationship with these third-parties.
The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker reviews revenue and operating income (loss) to evaluate segment performance. Revenue, veterinary invoice expense, other cost of revenue, new pet acquisition expenses and goodwill impairment charges are generally directly attributed to each segment. Other operating expenses, such as technology and development expense, general and administrative expense, and depreciation and amortization, are generally allocated proportionately based on revenue in each segment. Interest and other expenses and income taxes are not allocated to the segments, nor included in the measure of segment profit or loss. The Company does not analyze discrete segment balance sheet information related to long-term assets.

16. Dividend Restrictions and Statutory Surplus
The Company’s business operations are conducted through subsidiaries. In the U.S., the Company has two insurance subsidiaries: American Pet Insurance Company ("APIC"), domiciled in New York, and ZPIC Insurance Company ("ZPIC"), domiciled in Missouri. ZPIC does not yet underwrite any business. The Company also owns an insurance Company domiciled in Canada, GPIC Insurance Company ("GPIC"), and three segregated cell businesses in Bermuda, Wyndham Segregated Accounts AX, Trupanion Germany, and Trupanion Switzerland. In addition to general state law restrictions on payments of dividends and other distributions to stockholders applicable to all corporations, insurance companies are subject to further regulations that, among other things, may require such companies to maintain certain levels of equity and restrict the amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to their parent corporations.
Applicable regulations generally restrict the ability of the insurance entities to pay dividends to its holding company parent. These restrictions are based in part on the prior year’s statutory income and surplus. In the United States, dividends up to specified levels are generally considered ordinary and may be paid without prior approval. Dividends, in larger amounts, known as extraordinary dividends, are subject to approval by the insurer's domiciliary state regulator. An extraordinary dividend or distribution is generally defined as a dividend or distribution that, in the aggregate in any 12-month period, exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (ii) the insurer’s adjusted net investment income for the 12-month period immediately preceding the declaration or distribution of the current dividend increased by the excess, if any, of net investment income over dividends declared or distributed during the period commencing thirty-six months prior to the declaration or distribution of the current dividend and ending twelve months prior thereto, and not including realized capital gains. APIC paid an extraordinary dividend of $26.0 million to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2025, and ordinary dividends to the Company in 2024 and 2023 of $ 4.2 million and $ 7.6 million, respectively.
The Company's insurance subsidiary in Canada, GPIC, is regulated by the Canadian Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions ("OSFI") and is required to maintain prescribed minimum capital and solvency levels, including compliance with OSFI's Minimum Capital Test ("MCT"). Dividends may not be paid if the subsidiary would fail to meet applicable regulatory capital requirements following the payment of the dividend. Payment of dividends requires advance notice to OSFI and must be supported by a comprehensive analysis, including projections demonstrating capital adequacy and liquidity following the proposed dividend. OSFI has the authority to restrict or prohibit dividend payments if it determines that such payments would be imprudent or could adversely affect GPIC's financial condition.
The Company's insurance subsidiaries in Bermuda are regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Under the Bermuda Companies Act of 1981, as amended, a Bermuda company may not declare or pay a dividend or make a distribution out of contributed surplus if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (a) the company is, or would be after the payment, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (b) the realizable value of the company’s assets would thereby be less than its liabilities. The Segregated Accounts Company Act of 2000 further requires that dividends out of a segregated account can only be paid to the extent that the cell remains solvent.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 67.9 million (tax-effected, net of federal benefit) and U.S. federal income tax credits of $ 1.5 million. Use of carryforwards is limited based on the future income of the Company. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2027. Foreign net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2026. U.S. federal income tax credits will begin to expire in 2036. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards may be limited if the Company experiences an ownership change. As of December 31, 2025, the utilization of approximately $ 0.3 million of net operating losses are subject to limitation as a result of prior ownership changes; however, subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years.
A valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S. Federal, the majority of its U.S. State, and a portion of its foreign deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 because the Company’s management has determined that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be fully realized.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a net decrease of $ 2.9 million in valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets associated with U.S. federal and certain foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions, primarily attributable the utilization of net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.
The Company is open to examination by the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction for the years ended December 31, 2021 through 2025, and is also open to examination for 2006 and forward with respect to net operating loss carryforwards generated and carried forward from those years in the United States. The Company is subject to taxation in various states and countries, and may be subject to audit or examination by the relevant authorities in respect to those particular jurisdictions primarily for 2018 and thereafter.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("2025 U.S. Tax Act") was enacted in the United States. Among the changes, the 2025 U.S. Tax Act restores immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs and modifies certain international provisions. The 2025 U.S. Tax Act did not have a material impact on the current year effective rates for income taxes or cash taxes paid. While we continue to evaluate the impact for future years, we do not anticipate a material impact for income taxes or cash taxes paid.

Many countries have enacted the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 15% global minimum tax regime. The legislation did not have a material impact on our current year effective rates for income taxes or for cash taxes paid, however we continue to monitor developments and evaluate impacts, if any, of these rules on our results of operations and cash flows.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company intends to invest substantially all of its foreign subsidiary earnings, as well as its capital in its foreign subsidiaries, indefinitely outside of the U.S. in those jurisdictions in which it would incur significant, additional costs upon repatriation of such amounts. A deferred tax liability related to taxes due upon repatriation to the U.S. has not been recorded.
The Company is booking Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") on a current basis and is not booking deferred taxes related to GILTI.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process of evaluating recognition and measurement criteria. The first step assesses whether the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority, including resolution of any appeals or litigation, on the basis of the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not criteria, the portion of the tax benefit greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the relevant taxing authority is recognized in the financial statements.
