Lemonade Inc. (NYSE:LMND) shares rose over 4% in premarket trading Wednesday after the AI-driven insurance platform reported third-quarter earnings and revenue that surpassed Wall Street expectations, while also raising its full-year guidance amid accelerating growth.

“In Q3, we continued both our growth acceleration — crossing 30% IFP growth ahead of schedule — and our steady progress toward profitability,” said Daniel Schreiber, CEO and co-founder of Lemonade.
Lemonade generated $18 million in adjusted free cash flow and $5 million in operating cash flow for the quarter. Its customer base expanded 24% YoY to 2.87 million, with average premium per customer increasing 5% to $403.
