MediaAlpha, Inc. (NYSE: MAX), today announced that, in connection with White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd.’s (“White Mountains”) Annual Report on Form 10-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), White Mountains was required to disclose certain summarized preliminary financial information for MediaAlpha’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as set forth below:

  • Total revenues of $584.8 million
  • Total expenses of $575.4 million
  • Net income of $9.4 million
  • Total assets of $212.7 million
  • Total liabilities of $315.8 million

As of December 31, 2020 MediaAlpha is a significant investee of White Mountains and accordingly, White Mountains presents certain summarized financial information within the notes to its financial statements. As of December 31, 2020, White Mountains owned 20,532,202 shares of MediaAlpha Class A common stock, representing 35% ownership interest (32% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis).

MediaAlpha’s total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 grew 43% year-over-year, exceeding the Company’s expectations due to better than expected revenue in its Health Insurance vertical, which grew 34% year-over-year driven by a stronger than expected annual enrollment period and strong performance in P&C, which grew 81% over the prior year on increased year-end budget allocations from demand partners. Further details and financial information, including outlook for the first quarter and full year 2021, will be discussed during the Company’s financial results call.
