Answer
The press release you quoted does not include the specific cash‑flow figures or the cash‑runway estimate for Root, Inc. It only tells us that the full second‑quarter results—including the management commentary, cash‑flow statement, and runway calculations—are available in two places:
- The shareholder letter (posted on Root’s investor‑relations website)
- The updated investor presentation (also on the same site)
Because the release itself does not disclose those numbers, the only way to answer the question “What is the company’s cash‑flow situation and runway given the latest results?” is to retrieve the data from one of those documents.
How to Find the Information
| Step | Action | Expected Content |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Go to Root’s investor‑relations portal: ir.joinroot.com |
The homepage typically lists recent filings, press releases, and presentation decks. |
| 2 | Locate the “Shareholder Letter – Q2 2025” (or a similarly titled PDF). | The letter usually contains a “Liquidity & Capital Resources” or “Cash‑flow” section that shows: • Operating cash flow for the quarter (and year‑to‑date). • Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex). |
| 3 | Open the “Investor Presentation – Q2 2025” (PDF or PowerPoint). | The presentation often includes a slide titled “Cash Balance & Runway” or “Liquidity Position,” which will spell out: • Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter. • Projected monthly burn (or net cash outflow). • Runway = cash balance ÷ average monthly burn, expressed in months (e.g., “~18 months of runway”). |
| 4 | If the documents are not directly visible, use the site’s search function and type “Q2 2025 cash flow” or “Q2 2025 runway.” | This will surface the exact slide or paragraph that contains the numbers you need. |
Typical Elements to Look For
When you locate the cash‑flow and runway data, you’ll most likely see the following line items (the exact wording may vary):
| Metric | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Cash & cash equivalents (EOD Q2 2025) | Total liquid assets available to fund operations. |
| Operating cash flow (Q2 2025) | Cash generated (or consumed) by the core insurance business during the quarter. |
| Free cash flow | Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; a key indicator of cash‑generation efficiency. |
| Net cash burn (monthly) | The average net cash outflow per month, often calculated from the last 12 months or the most recent quarter. |
| Runway (months) | How many months of operations the current cash balance can support at the current burn rate. A runway of 12 months or more is generally considered “comfortable,” while under 12 months signals a need for additional financing. |
What to Do Next
- Download the two PDFs (shareholder letter and investor presentation).
- Read the “Liquidity & Capital Resources” or “Cash Flow” sections in the letter for the exact cash‑flow numbers.
- Find the “Runway” slide in the presentation for the runway estimate (e.g., “cash balance of $X million provides ~Y months of runway at a net burn of $Z million per month”).
- Compare the Q2 2025 figures to prior quarters (if the letter includes a “Year‑to‑date” or “YoY” comparison) to gauge whether cash flow is improving, stable, or deteriorating.
If you cannot locate the documents or the numbers are still missing, you can request the specific figures directly from Root’s Investor Relations team (contact details are usually listed at the bottom of the IR site) or wait for the next SEC filing (e.g., Form 10‑Q) that will contain the same data in a standardized format.
Bottom Line
- The press release itself does not disclose cash‑flow or runway numbers.
- The required details are in the Q2 2025 shareholder letter and the updated investor presentation on
ir.joinroot.com. - Follow the steps above to retrieve the exact cash‑flow figures and runway estimate, then you’ll be able to assess whether Root, Inc. currently has a positive cash‑flow position and how many months of operating runway it retains.
