In force premium is a measure of annualized premiums that the InsurTech tracks on a regular basis. During a fourth-quarter earnings conference call in late February, Lemonade executives guided toward $1.2 billion of in force premiums by year-end 2025, or a 28 percent jump over last year.
Lemonade Car will play a key role in the company’s accelerating growth plan, which will explode the level of in force premiums to $10 billion within roughly the same time frame it took Lemonade to get to $1 billion, executives said an Investor Day event in November last year. They also noted that car insurance would represent 40 percent—$4 billion of the $10 billion total premiums—when they get there by 2035.
