growth in the Essentia and State Farm books of business Assuming control of the Essentia book through the Markel Fronting Arrangement in the first quarter of 2026 requires the elimination of $144 million of Commission and fee revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and $247 million in the first half of 2026 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations On a consolidated basis, second quarter 2026 Commission and fee revenue decreased 83% year-over-year to $24 million, and year-to-date 2026 Commission and fee revenue decreased 84% year-over-year to $40 million Second quarter 2026 Marketplace revenue increased 48% year-over-year to $40 million, and year-to-date 2026 Marketplace revenue increased 17% year-over-year to $65 million Strong sales growth at live auctions and increased financing revenue which was enabled by the upsized BAC Credit Facility Second quarter 2026 Membership and other revenue increased 3% year-over-year to $21 million, and year-to-date 2026 Membership and other revenue increased 5% year-over-year to $43 million Hagerty Drivers Club (HDC) paid members increased 6% year-over-year to over 962,000 Second quarter 2026 Net investment income increased 17% year-over-year to $11 million, and year-to-date 2026 Net investment income increased 15% year-over-year to $21 million Second quarter 2026 Total Revenue decreased 6% year-over-year to $355 million, and year-to-date 2026 Total Revenue decreased 6% year-over-year to $667 million, reflecting the transition to the Markel Fronting Arrangement Second quarter 2026 Hagerty Re Loss Ratio was 42.7% compared to 42.3% in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Hagerty Re Loss Ratio was 40.6% compared to 42.2% in the prior year period Second quarter 2026 Hagerty Re Combined Ratio was 89.6% compared to 89.6% in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Hagerty Re Combined Ratio was 88.1% compared to 89.1% in the prior year period Second quarter 2026 Policy acquisition costs, net increased 1% to $84 million, and year-to-date 2026 Policy acquisition costs, net increased 16% to $186 million. The year-to-date increase is primarily due to the transition of our business under the Markel Fronting Arrangement, which resulted in incremental ceding commission expense for in-force policies written in 2025 and assumed at 100% on January 1, 2026, as well as an increase in earned premium The transition to the Markel Fronting Arrangement and adoption of Article 7 reporting standards for insurance companies reclassified certain costs among expense captions on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, reducing period-over-period comparability of individual captions without affecting total expenses. Beginning in 2026, following our assumption of control over the Essentia book of business, operating costs incurred by our U.S. MGA subsidiary in support of risk-taking activities are classified within Underwriting and other insurance expenses, versus Selling, general, and administrative expenses Together, second quarter 2026 Underwriting and other insurance expenses and Selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Insurance segment decreased 11% to $119 million, and year-to-date 2026 decreased 10% to $225 million. This decrease was primarily a result of the deferral of costs incurred by our MGA subsidiary for the successful acquisition or renewal of insurance policies issued under the Markel Fronting Arrangement. In 2025, these costs were expensed as incurred Second quarter 2026 Income before taxes of $2 million, including $64 million of Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs, and year-to-date 2026 Loss before taxes of $19 million, including $153 million of Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs Second quarter 2026 Net Income of $8 million, including $64 million of pre-tax Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs, compared to Net Income of $47 million in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Net Loss of $5 million, compared to Net Income of $74 million in the prior year period, including $153 million of pre-tax Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs Second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) increased 3% year-over-year to $75 million, compared to $73 million in the prior year period, and year-to-date 2026 Adjusted EBITDA increased 32% year-over-year to $160 million, compared to $121 million in the prior year period Second quarter 2026 Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share were $(0.02), and year-to-date 2026 Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share were $(0.08) Second quarter 2026 Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share (a non-GAAP measure) was $(0.02), and year-to-date 2026 Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share was $(0.05) First half 2026 Cash Flow from Operating Activities increased 91% to $186 million The Company had $298 million of unrestricted cash and $216 million of total debt, $88 million of which was back leverage for Broad Arrow Capital's portfolio of loans collateralized by collector cars The definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided under the heading Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press release. INCREASED 2026 OUTLOOK - COMPOUNDING GROWTH We believe 2026 is on track to be another great year of underlying profit growth for Hagerty as our team executes on our long-term plan to deliver compounding premium growth through investing in our long-term competitive advantages with our member-centric approach. As of January 1, 2026, we moved to a 100% quota share arrangement with our long-term partner, Markel, where we retain 100% of the premium and risk from our high-quality, historically low volatility underwriting. We also remain focused on delivering this growth more efficiently through the benefits of scale, continued cost discipline, and investments in our technology platform. For full year 2026, Hagerty anticipates:

Written Premium growth of 16% to 17% Total Revenue change of (9)% to (8)%, as Markel-related commission revenue is eliminated under the Markel Fronting Arrangement1 Net Income of $18 million to $30 million, including ~$199 million of Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs 2 Adjusted EBITDA of $270 million to $280 million Prior 2026 Outlook1 ($) Revised 2026 Outlook ($) in thousands 2025 Results Low End High End Low End High End Total Written Premium $1,193,548 $1,373,000 $1,385,000 $1,385,000 $1,397,000 Total Revenue2 $1,456,389 $1,280,000 $1,300,000 $1,325,000 $1,340,000 Net Income3, 4 $149,225 $(51,000) $(41,000) $18,000 $30,000 Adjusted EBITDA5 $236,791 $236,000 $247,000 $270,000 $280,000 1 Prior 2026 Outlook shared on the Company's first quarter earnings call on May 6th, 2026. 2 Revenue guidance reflects the accounting impact of the Markel Fronting Arrangement. Beginning in 2026, we now control the Essentia book of business with the benefit of our MGA services received by Hagerty Re and not Essentia. As a result, commission revenue and the associated ceding commission expense for policies issued through the Markel Fronting Arrangement are now eliminated in consolidation. Although we expect the arrangement to result in increased profitability (as reflected in Adjusted EBITDA), reported commission revenue and ceding commission expense will be significantly lower than prior periods, affecting period-to-period comparability. 2025 commission revenue associated with our alliance agreement with Markel was $437 million and 2025 ceding commission expense related to the Company's reinsurance quota share agreement with Markel was $344 million. 3 The projected Net Income includes approximately $199 million of pre-tax transitional costs related to the Markel Fronting Arrangement representing deferred ceding commissions paid to Markel for policies written prior to January 1, 2026, which will be fully amortized ratably over the remaining term of those policies throughout 2026. This amortization will decline to $37 million in Q3 2026 and approximately $9 million in Q4 2026 as 2025 policies expire. Excluding these transitional costs, we expect 2026 to reflect underlying profitability improvement. 4 Full year 2025 Net Income includes (i) the benefit from the $42 million release of a portion of our valuation allowance, partially offset by a $32 million loss related to the change in value of the TRA liability; and (ii) a $21 million reduction in reserves in the fourth quarter, primarily related to favorable development for the 2024 accident year and improvement in current accident year experience. 5 See section "Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information regarding this non-GAAP financial measure.

Key Performance Indicators The tables below present a summary of our Key Performance Indicators, which include important operational metrics, as well as certain financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and non-GAAP financial measures. We use these Key Performance Indicators to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends against planned initiatives, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe these Key Performance Indicators are useful in evaluating our performance when read together with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to (i) exclude net investment gains and losses; (ii) deduct interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan; (iii) exclude share-based compensation expense; and when applicable, exclude (iv) restructuring, impairment and related charges; (v) gains, losses and impairments related to divestitures; and (vi) certain other unusual items, such as Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. How This Measure is Useful When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is a useful measure to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors and peers. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties with a supplemental view of our operating performance that enhances their understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. Limitations of the Usefulness of This Measure Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies. Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information

prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is presented below. Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 in thousands Net income (loss) $ 8,041 $ 47,202 $ (4,704) $ 74,495 Interest expense and other, net 1 28 4,946 950 6,635 Income tax expense (benefit) (5,809) 6,161 (14,001) 11,650 Depreciation and amortization 9,716 8,833 19,422 18,321 EBITDA 11,976 67,142 1,667 111,101 Net investment gains (7,179) (1,194) (4,890) (879) Interest expense related to State Farm Term Loan 2 (515) (515) (1,030) (1,030) Share-based compensation expense 5,093 5,146 9,710 9,538 Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs 3 64,111 — 153,069 — Other unusual items 4 1,019 2,066 1,164 2,066 Adjusted EBITDA $ 74,505 $ 72,645 $ 159,690 $ 120,796 ____________________ 1 Excludes interest expense related to the BAC Credit Facility, which is recorded within "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 2 Interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan is charged against Adjusted EBITDA as it is directly attributable to the operations of Hagerty Re. 3 Represents the amortization of deferred ceding commissions paid to Markel for policies written prior to January 1, 2026. These costs relate exclusively to policies written prior to our entry into the Markel Fronting Arrangement and are being fully amortized ratably over the remaining term of those policies through December 31, 2026. The amortization of these deferred ceding commissions was $89 million in the first quarter of 2026, $64 million in the second quarter of 2026, and we expect it to decline to approximately $37 million in the third quarter of 2026 and approximately $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 as the remaining 2025 policy terms run off. Management excludes these costs from Adjusted EBITDA because they are transitional charges related solely to deferred ceding commissions on policies written prior to January 1, 2026, are expected to run off by December 31, 2026, and are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance under the Markel Fronting Arrangement. 4 For the three months ended June 30, 2026, other unusual items includes professional fees related to the pending acquisition of Bennetts. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other unusual items includes professional fees related to the pending acquisition of Bennetts and additional severance expenses associated with the actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other unusual items includes certain legal settlement expenses, professional fees associated with the THG Unit Exchange and related secondary offering, and certain material severance expenses. As a result of our transition to Article 7 reporting standards, Net investment income is reported as a component of revenue and is no longer an adjustment in our reconciliation from Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan is now deducted from Adjusted EBITDA as it is directly attributable to Hagerty Re, which generates a significant portion of our net investment income. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA as presented in the prior period in accordance with Article 5, to the current presentation in accordance with Article 7: Three months ended Six months ended June 30, 2025 June 30, 2025 in thousands Prior presentation of Adjusted EBITDA $ 63,744 $ 103,352 Net investment income 9,416 18,474 Interest expense related to State Farm Term Loan (515) (1,030) Current presentation of Adjusted EBITDA $ 72,645 $ 120,796 The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2026 Outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Net income: 2026 Low 2026 High in thousands Net income $ 18,000 $ 30,000 Interest expense and other, net 1 5,000 5,000

These costs relate exclusively to policies written prior to our entry into the Markel Fronting Arrangement and are being fully amortized ratably over the remaining term of those policies through December 31, 2026. The amortization of these deferred ceding commissions was $89 million in the first quarter of 2026, $64 million in the second quarter of 2026, and we expect it to decline to approximately $37 million in the third quarter of 2026 and approximately $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 as the remaining 2025 policy terms run off. Management excludes these costs from Adjusted EBITDA because they are transitional charges related solely to deferred ceding commissions on policies written prior to January 1, 2026, are expected to run off by December 31, 2026, and are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance under the Markel Fronting Arrangement. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock, adjusted to exclude (i) net investment gains and losses; and when applicable, (ii) changes in the TRA Liability; (iii) gains and losses related to divestitures; and (iv) certain other unusual items. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and unvested share-based compensation awards. How These Measures Are Useful When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors and peers. Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We believe these measures provide securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties with a supplemental view of our operating performance that enhances their understanding of our business and results of operations that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we believe these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders driven by increases in Hagerty, Inc.'s ownership in THG, which is unrelated to our operating performance, and excludes items that are unusual or may not be indicative of our ongoing performance. Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies. Presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating our performance, they assume the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock, which has not occurred and may not occur. Further, the adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss) exclude certain expenses and income that may recur in the future. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should be evaluated in conjunction with our GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of Adjusted Diluted EPS are presented below.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other unusual items includes professional fees related to the pending acquisition of Bennetts and additional severance expenses associated with the actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other unusual items includes certain legal settlement expenses, professional fees associated with the THG Unit Exchange and related secondary offering, and certain material severance expenses. 2 Represents the tax effect of the aforementioned adjustments to reflect corporate income taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of (58.0)% and 24.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 13.8% and 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which considers the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, a combined state income tax rate of approximately 5% (net of federal benefits and required valuation allowances), and certain material permanent items. 3 Assumes the exchange of all outstanding THG units, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and unvested share-based compensation awards for shares of Class A Common Stock, resulting in the elimination of the non-controlling interest and recognition of the Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, as well as elimination of the accretion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 4 Represents the per share impact of non-GAAP adjustments for each period. Refer to the reconciliation above for additional information. Comparability Bridge Due to the expanded underwriting and claims authority granted to us under the Markel Fronting Arrangement, we now control the Essentia book of business. While our U.S. MGA subsidiary and Hagerty Re continue to operate in the same manner they have historically, beginning on January 1, 2026, the benefit of our MGA services is being received by Hagerty Re and not Essentia. As a result, effective in the first quarter of 2026, we are no longer recognizing commission revenue or the associated ceding commission expense for Essentia-originated policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, ceding commission expense associated with Essentia policies issued in 2025 will continue to be recognized ratably over the remaining term of those policies throughout 2026. In addition, policy acquisition costs incurred by our U.S. MGA subsidiary for Essentia policies issued in 2026 are being deferred and amortized over the policy term. Accordingly, our entry into the Markel Fronting Arrangement has reduced the period ‑to‑period comparability of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table provides a reconciliation of the standalone results of operations for our Hagerty Re and MGA+ reporting units for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which reflect the continuing operations of those businesses, to total insurance segment results of operations included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2026

(c) The MGA+ reporting unit includes our MGA operations, as well as our membership, events, and media activities. (d) Our MGA subsidiaries incur costs to fulfill certain underwriting and claims handling functions on behalf of Hagerty Re, for which they are compensated through an intercompany commission paid by Hagerty Re. These costs are reflected within the standalone results of our MGA+ reporting unit within "Losses and loss adjustment expenses, net" and "Underwriting and other insurance expenses". (e) These consolidation entries are made to eliminate intercompany commission revenue and ceding commission expense between the Hagerty Re and MGA+ reporting units. (f) These consolidation entries are made to defer $57.2 million in policy acquisition costs incurred by the MGA+ reporting unit in their standalone results of operations, which are then amortized over the underlying policy term in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the amortization of such deferred policy acquisition costs totaled $16.3 million. (g) This table is presented solely to improve the year-over-year comparability of our financial statements and should not be viewed on a standalone basis. It should be read together with our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accompanying notes.
