Trupanion (NASDAQ:TRUP) posted its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The financial services provider reported $0.21 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.16 by $0.05, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $405.59 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $402.53 million. Trupanion had a net margin of 1.53% and a return on equity of 5.96%.

Here are the key takeaways from Trupanion’s conference call:

• Trupanion reported record third-quarter adjusted operating income of $47 million, up 15% year over year, on revenue of $405.6 million, up 11%. Free cash flow also reached a record $28.5 million, and the company reported its sixth consecutive quarter of positive net income.
• Growth and customer metrics improved: net new pets exceeded 20,500, up more than 28% year over year, while average monthly retention rose for the seventh consecutive quarter to 98.38%. Management attributed stronger conversion and lower acquisition cost per pet in part to expanded plan options and digital enrollment improvements.
• The company raised the midpoint of its full-year adjusted operating income outlook to $180.5 million, implying about 19% year-over-year growth, and expects fourth-quarter adjusted operating income of $48 million to $51 million. Full-year subscription revenue is now expected to grow about 14% at the midpoint.
• Management expects veterinary cost inflation to remain in the double digits into 2027, requiring continued pricing adjustments. It said average member increases may ease as pricing catches up with costs, but affordability remains an important consideration.
• Trupanion repurchased about $25 million of shares in the quarter and repaid $15 million of borrowings after quarter-end, while continuing to fund growth initiatives. Its Landspath pet-food trials are underway, but management expects limited revenue from the initiative over the next 18 months.
