CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE), operator of LendingTree.com, the nation's leading online financial services marketplace, today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
The company has posted a letter to shareholders on the company's website at investors.lendingtree.com.
"We are happy to report quarterly AEBITDA grew 49% YoY, exceeding the high end of our forecast. Our Insurance segment produced very strong performance in the first quarter, growing both revenue and segment profit by double-digits as insurance carrier partners steadily increase their budgets with us," said Doug Lebda, Chairman and CEO. "At the same time, a stable lending environment is benefiting Consumer segment revenue, allowing us to lean back into our marketing efforts to match more customers with the best financial products in our marketplace. We believe we are finally through the worst part of the cycle for our company, when all three of our reportable segments were operating at or near trough revenue levels."
Scott Peyree, President and COO, commented, "We are very excited to be returning to growth, with the strength in our Insurance segment and continued improvement in our Consumer segment driving this quarter's results. Looking forward, continued stability in credit conditions at lenders coupled with very strong demand from our insurance carrier partners creates a solid base for additional progress. We now forecast a much-anticipated return to annual revenue and AEBITDA growth for the company this year."
Trent Ziegler, CFO, added, "During the first quarter we closed on a new term loan that provides us $175 million of seven-year financing. We believe the sum of loan proceeds, existing cash-on-hand, and future cash flow generation provide us with ample liquidity to meet our 2025 convertible note maturity over the remaining term. Having addressed this maturity and optimized our fixed cost structure, we are squarely focused on returning to profitable growth and remain well positioned to continue investing in our business."
