Lemonade’s guidance for the fiscal first quarter
For the fiscal first quarter, Lemonade forecasts its revenue to fall in the range of £15.44 million to £16.16 million. It expects up to £84.01 million of revenue for the full financial year. Analysts, on the other hand, are calling for £15.87 million of revenue for Lemonade in Q1 and £80.13 million of revenue in the current year as a whole. In its letter to shareholders on Monday, Lemonade said:
“For the full year 2020, our gross loss ratio was 71%, as compared to 79% in 2019. Our fourth-quarter gross loss ratio was 73%, little changed from 72% in Q3 2020 and 73% in Q4 2019. This apparent stability in our Q4 loss ratio – both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter – masks some noteworthy undercurrents.”
Lemonade concluded 2020 at a per-share price of £87.95. At the time of writing, the American insurance company is valued at £5.71 billion.
