Root has transitioned to profitability, reporting $40 million net income for fiscal 2025 while scaling its telematics-based pricing using over 36 billion miles of driving data. Growth is driven by cost-efficient embedded distribution deals such as Carvana, and management has optimized capital structure and reinsurance to improve cash flow.
