Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
The Company is taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes and is subject to federal, state and local taxes on the income allocated to it from GHH, LLC based upon the Company’s economic interest in GHH, LLC. The Company is the sole managing member of GHH, LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of GHH, LLC. GHH, LLC is a limited liability company taxed as a partnership for income tax purposes except for a foreign subsidiary, which is treated as a foreign disregarded entity. As a partnership, GHH, LLC does not pay any federal income taxes, as income or loss is included in the tax returns of the individual members. In 2024, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest in e-TeleQuote Insurance, Inc. (“e-TeleQuote”) which
is taxed as a corporation. These corporations are subject to federal and state income taxes in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are subject to foreign income taxes in the jurisdiction in which they operate. The accruals for such taxes are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was (13.47)% and 0.33%, respectively. The effective tax rate for each period is lower than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of loss entities for which the Company excludes from its annual effective tax rate calculation and loss attributable to non-controlling interests.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with GHH, LLC, the Continuing Equity Owners and the Blocker Shareholders that will provide for the payment by the Company to the Continuing Equity Owners and the Blocker Shareholders of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that the Company actually realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize). The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the liability related to the Tax Receivable Agreement was $1.1 million. Should the Company determine that any additional Tax Receivable Agreement liability is considered probable at a future date based on new information, any changes will be recorded within earnings at that time.
