Current report

We are a vertically integrated insurance holding company focused primarily on personal residential homeowners insurance. Our insurance subsidiaries, Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“UPCIC”) and American Platinum Property and Casualty Insurance Company (“APPCIC” and, together with UPCIC, the “Insurance Entities”), write homeowners and related property insurance through appointed independent agents and online distribution channels across 19 states. Our integrated operating model allows us to manage underwriting, product design, distribution, risk management and claims handling through affiliated service companies, which supports consistency in execution and provides additional fee-based revenue streams.

Current report

Our results are driven principally by the size, mix and profitability of our insured portfolio; the frequency and severity of weather and non-weather claims; the cost and structure of our catastrophe reinsurance program; investment income; and operating efficiency. Management’s objective is to generate long-term underwriting profitability while maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital to support policyholder obligations, catastrophe exposure and disciplined growth. We evaluate underwriting profitability based on net premiums earned less losses, loss adjustment expenses, policy acquisition costs and other operating costs and expenses.

Current report

During 2026, we continued to pursue selective growth in Florida and other states where market conditions have improved or otherwise support attractive risk-adjusted returns. In Florida, legislative reforms enacted in late 2022 have contributed to improved claim and litigation trends on policies issued or renewed after the reforms, supporting our decision to expand new homeowners writings in most territories, introduce new coverage options and adjust rates. Outside Florida, we continued to refine rates, coverage offerings and underwriting criteria in response to inflation, weather risk, reinsurance costs and other market conditions. These actions are intended to support growth while maintaining underwriting discipline and geographic diversification.

Current report

Although Florida represented approximately 72.9% of direct premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 2026, it represented approximately 47.1% of total insured value as of June 30, 2026. This difference reflects the higher premium levels associated with Florida’s catastrophe exposure, reinsurance costs and market conditions, while also demonstrating the Company’s continued diversification of insured exposure outside Florida. Management views this diversification as an important component of its long-term strategy to balance growth, underwriting profitability and catastrophe risk across its multi-state homeowners insurance platform.

Current report

Data analytics, artificial intelligence (“AI”) and other emerging technologies are increasingly affecting the property and casualty insurance industry. Insurers, technology providers, vendors and other market participants continue to invest in tools intended to improve the speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness of insurance operations. These technologies may create opportunities to improve underwriting and risk selection, claims handling, fraud detection, customer service, operational efficiency and analytical capabilities. In the residential property insurance market, emerging technologies are increasingly used to evaluate property characteristics, model catastrophe and non-catastrophe risk, support inspection and underwriting processes, triage or estimate claims, detect potentially questionable claim activity, and assist with communications. The effective use of these technologies depends on the quality of underlying data, governance structures in place, integration with existing systems, vendor performance and continued human oversight.

Current report

The use of AI and other automated technologies is subject to evolving legal and regulatory scrutiny and changing market expectations regarding data privacy, cybersecurity, transparency, governance and compliance with insurance, information security and consumer protection requirements. These requirements may vary by jurisdiction and could affect our ability to implement or expand AI-enabled tools, increase compliance costs, or expose us to regulatory, litigation or reputational risks if such tools are alleged to produce inaccurate, unfair or unexplained outcomes. If we are unable to adopt, implement or manage emerging technologies effectively, or if competitors are able to use them more effectively, we could experience higher operating costs, process inefficiencies, customer or agent service disadvantages, regulatory concerns, reputational harm or other competitive disadvantages. Additionally, because Florida remains our largest market and the domiciliary state of our Insurance Entities, changes in Florida regulatory expectations related to the use of AI or other technologies could have a disproportionate impact on our operations. Conversely, if appropriately implemented and governed, these technologies may support our efforts to improve operational efficiency, strengthen analytical capabilities, enhance customer and agent experiences, and respond to market opportunities and risks.

Current report

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026, or second quarter, are compared to the same period last year, unless stated otherwise

Current report

•The Company delivered continued top-line growth in 2026, with direct premiums written increasing 4.1% year over year in the second quarter and 6% year to date. Growth was supported by management’s strategy to selectively expand the homeowners insurance book in Florida and other states where market conditions are improving or otherwise attractive, while maintaining underwriting discipline through risk selection, rate adequacy, product design, and targeted marketing initiatives.

Current report

•As of June 30, 2026, total policies in force increased 62,028, or 7.1%, to 934,371, compared with June 30, 2025. The increase included 31,722 policies, or 5.7%, in Florida and 30,306 policies, or 9.7%, in other states.

Current report

•Net investment income increased $2.96 million, or 17.1%, to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $17.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher book yields and increased invested assets.

Current report

•The Insurance Entities secured their combined UPCIC and APPCIC 2026–27 catastrophe reinsurance program to manage catastrophe exposure across their homeowners insurance book and support continued underwriting capacity in Florida and other states. The program maintains continuity with historical reinsurance partners and includes no material changes to key terms or conditions. It provides a combined single-event All States reinsurance tower, including Florida, of $2.623 billion, an increase of approximately $50 million over the expiring program. In the second quarter of 2026, ceded written premium declined 12.1% to $612.6 million, from $696.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting lower reinsurance costs for June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027 contract period.

Current report

•On June 16, 2026, the Company issued and sold $100.0 million of 7.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due June 30, 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), and used the net proceeds to redeem its $100.0 million of 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due November 30, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). This refinancing extends the Company’s debt maturity profile to 2031, preserves financial flexibility, and supports its capital strategy to maintain liquidity, manage refinancing risk, and fund opportunities in an improving Florida homeowners’ market and across its multi-state platform.

Current report

•In connection with its $100.0 million debt financing, KBRA assigned UVE a BBB issuer rating and a BBB long-term credit rating on its 2031 Notes, each with a Stable Outlook. These investment-grade ratings support the Company’s access to capital and reflect an independent assessment of UVE’s financial strength and credit profile. The 2031 Notes rank equally with UVE’s current and future senior unsecured indebtedness and remain structurally subordinated to policyholder obligations and other liabilities of UVE’s subsidiaries.

Current report

•On May 29, 2026, the Company entered a committed, unsecured $50.0 million revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., replacing its prior facility of the same size. The facility has been maintained since 2021 through annual 364-day renewal terms, with each renewal subject to customary annual review and adjustment. The current facility matures on May 28, 2027. The facility supports the Company’s capital strategy by providing committed liquidity and financial flexibility to manage working capital needs, support operating requirements, and pursue strategic opportunities across its homeowner’s insurance platform.

Current report

•The combined ratio was 91.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 90.7% year to date, compared with 97.8% for the three months ended 2025 and 96.4% year to date as of June 30, 2025, reflecting operating improvements.

Current report

•On April 10, 2026, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock, payable on May 15, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 8, 2026.

Current report

The Company’s 2026 premium growth reflects management’s strategy to expand the homeowner’s insurance book in Florida and other states while responding to market conditions through targeted underwriting, product, rate, and marketing actions. In Florida, the Insurance Entities resumed writing new homeowners and dwelling business in most areas, introduced water damage coverage options, and filed for an overall 5.1% homeowners rate reduction, which helped improve competitiveness and supported new business production. Outside Florida, the Insurance Entities continued to pursue rate increases and refine coverage offerings to address inflation, claim cost trends, reinsurance costs, weather risk, and other market forces. Policies in force, premium in force, and total insured value increased year over year, reflecting organic growth, expanded marketing initiatives, new product offerings, and additional open territories. Management remains focused on disciplined growth, risk selection, geographic diversification, rate adequacy, and product design to support profitable expansion across the Company’s multi-state homeowner’s platform.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, direct premiums written totaled $621.3 million, representing an increase of $24.6 million or 4.1%. This growth was due to a $21.1 million, or 14.4%, increase from other states and a $3.5 million or 0.8%, increase in Florida compared to the same period in 2025. Direct premiums written have increased in 14 states we operate in since June 30, 2025.

Current report

As of June 30, 2026, policies in force rose by 62,028 or 7.1%, premium in force increased by $90.5 million or 4.3%, and total insured value grew by $39.6 billion or 10.5%, compared to June 30, 2025, as noted in the following table (in thousands, except policies in force data):

Current report

Direct premiums earned increased $21.4 million, or 4.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025, primarily reflecting the recognition of premiums written over the applicable policy terms. Premiums are generally earned ratably over the policy coverage period, so changes in direct premiums earned reflect policies written in both the current and prior periods as coverage is provided.

Current report

Policies in force were 934,371 on June 30, 2026, an increase of 38,444 or 4.3%, from 895,927 on December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we have policies in 19 states and are authorized to do business in Tennessee with a rate filing underway. Details on recent rate changes impacting premiums are discussed in“Overview—Trends and Geographical Distribution—Florida Trends.”

Current report

Reinsurance is a critical component of the Company’s risk management, capital, and liquidity strategy, particularly for its catastrophe-exposed Florida homeowners business. The Insurance Entities use reinsurance to reduce exposure to hurricanes and other significant insured events, protect statutory capital, support policyholder obligations, and maintain underwriting capacity in Florida and other states. Because reinsurance is integral to managing catastrophe risk, changes in pricing, availability, coverage limits, retention levels, and program structure can materially affect the Company’s results of operations, financial ratios, statutory capital position, and ability to write business. Reinsurance costs are recognized ratably over the annual contract period from June 1 through May 31.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, ceded premiums earned increased $4.3 million, or 2.6%, compared with the same period in 2025. Ceded earned premiums represented 30.8% of direct earned premiums in 2026, compared with 31.2% in 2025. Second quarter results include ceded premiums earned from the 2025–26 reinsurance program, which concluded on May 31, 2026, as well as the initial ceded premiums earned under the new 2026–27 reinsurance program beginning June 1, 2026.

Current report

On June 1, 2026, the Insurance Entities entered into the 2026–27 catastrophic reinsurance program with lower ceded written premium, under which ceded written premium declined 12.1% to $612.6 million from $696.8 million in the prior-year period. Because reinsurance costs are earned ratably over the June 1 through May 31 contract period, the majority of the benefit of the lower-cost 2026–27 reinsurance program is expected to be recognized in ceded premiums earned over future periods.

Current report

The 2026–27 reinsurance program provides $2.623 billion of single-event All States catastrophe capacity, including Florida, an increase of approximately $50 million over the 2025–26 treaty period. The program also includes $352 million of forward catastrophe capacity extending into the 2027–28 treaty period, including $277 million below the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund layer. As of June 30, 2026, Florida represented less than 50% of the Company’s total insured value, reflecting management’s strategy to diversify catastrophe exposure by expanding the homeowners insurance book in other states while maintaining underwriting discipline in Florida. The Insurance Entities’ combined $45 million first-event statutory retention remained unchanged from the prior year.

Current report

Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“UIH”) established a captive insurance arrangement to assume the first-event layer of $66 million in excess of the Insurance Entities’ $45 million retention as part of the 2026–27 reinsurance program. The captive is consolidated by UIH; therefore, premiums ceded to the captive and related recoveries are eliminated in UIH’s consolidated financial statements. Although the captive arrangement does not result in net ceded premium expense or reinsurance recoveries at the consolidated level, it allows the Company to retain a defined layer of catastrophe risk within the consolidated group. Management believes this structure supports the overall efficiency of the reinsurance program by helping align retained risk with the Company’s capital position, reduce reliance on third-party reinsurance for that layer, and preserve external reinsurance capacity for higher layers of catastrophe protection. See“Item 1—Note 14 (Variable Interest Entities).”

Current report

Net investment income was $20.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $3.0 million, or 17.1%. The increase was primarily driven by growth in average invested assets and higher average book yields, as operating cash flows and maturities were reinvested into securities with higher yields than the assets they replaced. The benefit was partially offset by lower yields on cash and cash equivalents compared with 2025, although higher cash balances in the 2026 period mitigated a portion of that decline. See“Item 1—Note 3 (Investments)” for additional information regarding investment income.

Current report

Net realized gains for the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily reflected gains from net sales of equity securities. These gains were partially offset by net realized losses from sales of available-for-sale debt securities as the Company repositioned a portion of the fixed-income portfolio into longer-duration securities.

Current report

The net change in unrealized gains and losses during the quarter primarily reflected increases in the fair value of equity securities held at June 30, 2026, together with the recognition in earnings of previously unrealized gains or losses on equity securities sold during the period. Changes in the fair value of fixed-maturity securities were primarily affected by interest rate movements, credit spreads, and portfolio duration. See“Analysis of Financial Condition” for additional information regarding changes in total invested assets during 2026.

Current report

Commission revenue is generated when the Company places reinsurance coverage with traditional open-market third-party reinsurers and earns a brokerage commission on those placements. The Company does not earn commission revenue on premiums ceded to the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund because that coverage is provided through a state-sponsored program rather than through open-market reinsurance placements. Commission revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable reinsurance contract period, which generally runs from June 1 through May 31, as the related reinsurance coverage is provided.

•Full reinstatement is available on the combined $1.098 billion of the All States first-event catastrophe coverage for a guaranteed second-event coverage. Additionally, a second event private market excess of loss coverage of $66 million in excess of $45 million succeeds the captive in the event of a loss from a second event, resulting in a $66 million reduction in retention on a consolidated basis for a second event.

Previous report

•To further insulate future years, the Insurance Entities have secured certain multi-year treaties, providing $352 million of capacity that extends portions of the catastrophe coverage to include the 2026-2027 treaty year.

Previous report

•For the three months ended March 31, 2026, direct premiums written increased by $39.5 million, to $506.5 million, driven by a $22.6 million or 18.3%, increase in premiums written outside of Florida and a $16.9 million or 4.9%increase in premiums written in Florida.

Previous report

•In late 2025, and continuing in 2026, the Insurance Entities resumed issuing homeowners policies in most of Florida, reversing previous trends, and filed for a 5.1% average rate decrease in the state while increasing rates elsewhere. New water damage coverage options helped boost policy growth in Florida. Rate changes, coverage choices, and inflation are affecting premiums. Management is focusing on risk selection and rate updates. Legislative changes in late 2022 have reduced litigation and improved market conditions in Florida.

Previous report

•The total number of policies in force across all states, including Florida, rose by 50,489 or 5.8%, as of March 31, 2025. Florida saw an increase of 16,282 policies or 2.9%, while other states grew by 34,207 policies or 11.3%.

Previous report

•Net investment income increased in the first quarter of 2026 to $19.5 million an increase of $3.4 million or 21.3%, compared to $16.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, due to an increase in the book yield and an increase in invested assets.

Previous report

•For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the combined ratio was 89.7%, representing an improvement of 5.3 points compared to the same period in 2025.

Previous report

•On February 4, 2026, a dividend of $0.16 per common share was declared, with payment made on March 6, 2026.

Previous report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, direct premiums written totaled $506.5 million, representing an increase of $39.5 million or 8.5%. This growth was due to a $22.6 million or 18.3%, increase from other states and a $16.9 million or 4.9%, increase in Florida compared to the same period in 2025. The growth in first-quarter 2026 direct written premiums were primarily driven by strategic expansion in Florida and other key markets. This increase reflects organic policies-in-force growth associated with increased marketing initiatives, new product offerings, and opening additional territories. Premium is also affected by rate actions taken in all states. Policies in force were 915,306 on March 31, 2026, an increase of 19,379 or 2.2%, from December 31, 2025, and an increase of 50,489 or 5.8%, from March 31, 2025. Details on recent rate changes impacting premiums are discussed in “Overview—Trends and Geographical Distribution—Florida Trends.”

Previous report

In late 2025, the Insurance Entities resumed accepting new business throughout Florida, except for the Florida Keys, for all homeowners and dwelling policy forms, thereby reversing previous trends. Additionally, in 2025, the Insurance Entities submitted filings for an overall rate reduction of 5.1% on homeowners policies within Florida. Conversely, outside Florida, Insurance Entities continued to pursue rate increases, averaging 10.4% during 2025.

Previous report

Also in late 2025, in Florida, the Insurance Entities introduced new policy coverage options affecting water damage limits and premiums. These endorsements have strengthened the competitive position of Insurance Entities within the state, contributing to increased growth in new business policies for 2026. Policyholders now have the flexibility to reduce their water damage coverage in exchange for premium credits that reflect adjusted loss limits.

Previous report

The introduction of these new water limit options, together with the 2025 rate reduction, has enhanced the Insurance Entities’ competitiveness in Florida and resulted in growth in new business production in 2026 in Florida. Rate filings and automatic inflation adjustments to policy values continue to influence both written and earned premiums for renewals and new policies. Management remains dedicated to optimizing risk selection, improving geographic diversification, and making necessary revisions to filed rate plans.

Previous report

The Insurance Entities continue to write new business in most Florida areas for all homeowners and dwelling policies. Management continues to refine policy features, risk selection, diversification, and rate plans. Increased competition and improved loss trends in Florida, helped by 2022 legislative reforms, are reducing litigation costs and supporting market recovery.

Previous report

Rate changes are applied at policy inception or renewal and reflect claim cost trends, including material, labor, weather events, reinsurance, and litigated claims. Rate adjustments often lag actual experience due to analysis and implementation delays. Coverage limits are updated at renewal to keep pace with inflation, based on industry data. See “Overview—Trends and Geographical Distribution—Florida Trends and Summary of Recent Rate Changes.”

Previous report

Direct premium earned increased by $18.2 million or 3.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to recognition of premiums written over the previous year. For details, see “Overview-Summary of Recent Rate Changes.”

Previous report

Reinsurance reduces our Insurance Entities’ exposure to catastrophic and other significant insured events. In periods when reinsurance pricing increases, as it did for our 2025-2026 reinsurance program, financial ratios and other metrics that incorporate ceded premiums are correspondingly affected. These costs are recognized equally throughout the yearly reinsurance contract period (June 1–May 31).

Previous report

Net investment income was $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.1 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $3.4 million, or 21.3%. This change was due to increased investments in our portfolio and new investments generating higher average book yields than maturing assets, partially offset by reduced yields from invested cash and cash equivalents balances in 2026.

Previous report

During the first quarter of 2026 yields continued to trend down before reversing sharply in March driven by geopolitical uncertainty around the Iran war and the impact on inflation and the pausing of the fed easing cycle. The rate reversal affected our unrealized loss position on fixed income as prices move inversely to yields. See “Item 1— Note 3 (Investments)” for information on investment income.

Previous report

Net realized gains for the quarter were driven by liquidating equity investments, partially offset by optimizing the fixed income portfolio to lock in longer duration yields. Net change in unrealized losses for the quarter were driven by the sharpest macro shift in equities since 2022 as a result of concerns around the Iran war, in addition to realizing gains, which impact the change in unrealized losses. See―“Analysis of Financial Condition” for details on changes in total invested assets balances during 2026.

Previous report

Commission revenue mainly comes from brokerage commissions earned from traditional, open-market, third-party reinsurers. Premiums ceded to the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) do not generate commissions. Revenue from commissions is recognized on a pro-rata basis throughout the reinsurance policy period, which lasts from June 1st until May 31st of the following year. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, commission revenue totaled $14.7 million down from $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $1.5 million, or 9.5%, in commission revenue for 2026 was largely due to commissions on reinstatement premiums from Hurricanes Helene and Milton earned in 2025. There were no commissions from reinstatement premiums in 2026.

Previous report

Policy fees, which represent MGA fee revenue earned during the period, totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up from $4.5 million for the same period in 2025. This $0.5 million or 10.9%, increase was driven by a greater combined number of policies written in states where we are allowed to charge this fee.

Previous report

Net losses and LAE, after reinsurance recoveries and subrogation recoveries, were $228.1 million with a 63.9% net loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $250.6 million and a 70.5% net loss ratio for the prior-year quarter. The net loss ratio for 2026 and 2025 reflects the current accident year loss pick, applied to net premiums earned. There was no prior-year development on catastrophe or non-catastrophe losses, and there were no catastrophic losses for the three months ending March 31, 2026, or 2025.

Previous report

This current accident year loss pick considers recent accident years data, expected business distribution between Florida and other states, approved rate changes, and includes a contingency for heightened weather activity often seen in the first half of the accident year. As the calendar year advances, greater attention is given to emerging trends within the current year, such as claims payment behaviors, developments in LAE weather events, and further actuarial reviews.

Previous report

Claims from weather events during 2026, were higher than the previous year, but within an expected range contemplated in the current accident year loss pick. In 2025, weather-related claims were notably infrequent and low in value, making it one of the lowest in recent years. During each calendar year, a certain degree of variability in loss experience is anticipated due to seasonal weather events. These events can be sizable and are absorbed below the Insurance Entities catastrophe retention, or smaller events can accumulate to result in volatility of results beyond expected. Management monitors weather losses throughout the year to determine if such events have or are likely to exceed the range of weather experiences considered in the current accident year loss pick.

Previous report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, there was no net prior-year development. Unfavorable development occurs when claim settlements exceed previous estimates or liabilities increase, often due to rising costs, inflation, changing codes, and litigation expenses. See“Overview—Trends and Geographical Distribution—Florida Trends” for details. Florida losses after the reform legislation show positive trends, but claims under older policies remain uncertain and may experience adverse development if settlements differ from earlier estimates.

Previous report

During 2026, the Company continues to settle catastrophe losses on Hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton which occurred in 2024 along with hurricanes from prior years. Our reinsurance program provided the Insurance Entities with adequate protection beyond our retention limit for these prior hurricanes.

Previous report

As previously discussed, legislation passed in late 2022 has reduced claim costs in Florida as the benefits of the reforms increasingly are realized. The Company is seeing benefits of this legislation in 2026 for policies issued after the effective date of the reforms. The transition to the new laws will take several years as many reforms only apply to policies written or renewed after the effective date. Claims under prior laws are still being adjusted, and it will be several years before the impact of abusive practices under the old laws is completely removed, allowing the benefits of the legislation to be fully realized.

Previous report

•Policy acquisition costs increased by $3.9 million mainly due to an increased premiums and higher-premium growth outside of Florida, where commissions are greater. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, these costs represented 18.1% of net earned premiums—1.1 point increase—driven by a greater share of premiums from outside Florida and higher reinsurance costs, which reduced net earned premiums compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, accruals for expected increased agent bonus commission in 2026 contributed to higher acquisition costs.

Previous report

•Other operating costs and expenses increased by $1.0 million primarily due to an increase to the fixed income allowance for credit losses (current expected credit loss (CECL) allowance) and increased operating expenses. The other operating cost and expense ratio was 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting higher reinsurance costs.

Previous report

Interest and amortization of debt issuance costs were $1.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025.

Other comprehensive loss, net of taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $8.4 million compared to other comprehensive income of $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting after-tax changes in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities held in our investment portfolio and reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for available-for-sale debt securities sold. These results reflect unfavorable shifts in market prices during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. During 2026, maturing debt securities and investment returns were reinvested at market rates amid rising interest rates, which benefited new purchases but lowered fair values, increasing unrealized losses on maturing debt securities. The maturity of the remaining debt securities in an unrealized loss position has also increased during the year. Over time, unrealized losses on debt securities in an unrealized loss position has lessened as the remaining maturity shortens and securities approach their maturity or par value. See the discussion above and “Item 1—Note 11 (Other Comprehensive Income (Loss))” for additional information about the amounts comprising other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes for these periods and “Item 1—Note 3 (Investments)” for explanations on changes in investments.

We believe that the cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. We invest amounts considered to be in excess of current working capital requirements.

Previous report

As of March 31, 2026, total invested assets reached $1.54 billion, up from $1.53 billion at year-end 2025. This growth was mainly due to a $24.0 million increase in equity securities from cash balances and higher net investment income, partially offset by more unrealized losses on debt and equity securities. Available-for-sale debt securities decreased in fair value from $1.43 billion as of December 31, 2025 to $1.42 billion as of March 31, 2026, amid rising interest rates, which benefited new purchases but lowered fair values and increased our allowance for expected credit losses (CECL credit allowance) on available-for-sale debt securities.

Previous report

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $595.8 million on March 31, 2026, up 45.7% from $408.9 million at December 31, 2025. This increase was due to anticipated reinsurance settlements in early April 2026, $75 million additional deployment from cash balances to the available-for-sale debt securities portfolio in early April and income tax installments due in April. For details, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Funds are invested short-term until needed for loss payments, reinsurance premiums, operating expenses, or investment deployment.

Previous report

Prepaid reinsurance premiums are the unearned portion of ceded written premiums, to be recognized over the remaining term of the 2025-2026 reinsurance program (June 1 to May 31). The balance decreased from $291.0 million on December 31, 2025, to $117.0 million at March 31, 2026, reflecting amortization from the 2025-2026 catastrophe reinsurance program during the first quarter of 2026. See “Item 2—Reinsurance Program” for more details.

Previous report

Reinsurance recoverables are the estimated amount of paid and unpaid losses, LAE, and other expenses that are expected to be recovered from reinsurers. The decrease of $31.0 million to $201.9 million as of March 31, 2026, was primarily due to the settlement and collection of ceded paid losses from Hurricanes Milton and Helene, as well as other prior events collected during 2026 from reinsurers.

Previous wording

Our ability to write and retain policies is influenced by a range of local, national and global factors. Among these, the amount and types of policies we write depend on the regulatory environments in the states in which the Insurance Entities write policies. In particular, the Florida personal residential insurance market is experiencing significant transitions due to a series of law changes passed in December 2022 that were intended to address substantial market disruption.

Current wording

Our ability to write and retain policies is influenced by a range of local, national and global factors. Among these, the amount and types of policies we write depend on the regulatory environments in the states in which the Insurance Entities write policies. In particular, the Florida personal residential insurance market has experienced and continues to experience significant transitions due to a series of law changes passed in December 2022 that were intended to address previous market disruption.

Previous wording

Prior to the significant statutory reforms adopted by Florida in December 2022, the Florida residential property insurance market suffered from declining availability and increasing premiums among authorized insurers. This was attributable to elevated loss and LAE levels and related impacts on reinsurance pricing and availability. During this period, Citizens, Florida’s statutorily-created insurer that generally is intended to be the state’s market of last resort, instead became a market of choice as insurers limited writings and state laws capped Citizens’ annual rate increases at levels well below market levels.

Current wording

Prior to the law changes, the Florida residential property insurance market suffered from declining availability and increasing premiums among authorized insurers. This was attributable to elevated loss and LAE levels and related impacts on insurers’ operating results and reinsurance pricing and availability. During this period, Citizens, Florida’s statutorily-created insurer that generally is intended to be the state’s market of last resort, instead became a market of choice as authorized insurers limited writings and Citizens’ rate levels were suppressed by statutory limitations on its rate changes.

Previous wording

The overall residential property insurance market in Florida has steadily improved since the reforms were enacted. Nonetheless, the ultimate long-term benefits of Florida’s statutory reforms remain unknown and difficult to predict. The Florida political environment, prevailing sentiment among policymakers or the public such as growing concerns with inflation and costs of living, and economic factors beyond insurers’ control may directly or indirectly mitigate the impact of the reforms. These influences can mask the reforms’ benefits or diminish their perceived effectiveness even when the market shows objective signs of improvement through moderating rate levels, increased product availability and competition, and reductions in Citizens’ policy count. Over time, these political or external influences can result in policymakers questioning the merits of the reforms, considering proposals to reverse them, or pursuing other law changes or interpretations that could negate improvements in the Florida market and renew concerns with rising costs and reduced availability.

Over time, political or external influences attributing broader rising costs or other market conditions to deficiencies in the reforms rather than other causes can result in policymakers questioning the merits of the reforms, considering proposals to reverse them, or pursuing other law changes or interpretations that could negate improvements in the Florida market and renew concerns with rising costs and reduced availability.

Previous wording

Prior to the 2022 reforms, most residential property insurers in Florida, including the Insurance Entities, sought to limit their exposure to rising losses and LAE. Although the Insurance Entities faced little competition from authorized insurers during this period, the Insurance Entities’ own exposure management considerations led them to limit their new business intake. The Insurance Entities historically have enjoyed a high policyholder retention rate from year to year, both prior to the reforms and currently. Even so, the Company’s limited appetite for new business prior to the reforms led to a decline in its in-force Florida policy count. During this time, Citizens grew to become the largest insurer of residential property in Florida by a wide margin.

The Insurance Entities historically have enjoyed a high policyholder retention rate from year to year, both prior to the reforms and currently. Nonetheless, the Company’s limited appetite for new business prior to the reforms led to a decline in its in-force Florida policy count. As other insurers similarly limited their writings during this time, Citizens grew to become the largest insurer of residential property in Florida by a wide margin.

Previous wording

Other established insurers also are expanding new business writings. In addition, a reported 17 new insurers have entered the Florida market in recent years. Unlike the Insurance Entities, some new and established insurers write business predominantly by assuming risks from Citizens. Altogether, renewed activity among authorized insurers has led to a decrease in Citizens’ policy count by approximately one million policies since the reforms. UPCIC has long been, and currently remains, one of the largest residential property insurers in Florida. Still, as the benefits of the reforms continue to emerge, new and existing competitors in the post-reform market often remain selective as to the policy types, locations, coverage limits or other characteristics of policies they write, leading to segmentation in the market. The degree of competition the Insurance Entities face in Florida therefore varies by policy type, region, and other factors.

Current wording

Other insurers also are expanding new business writings. Established insurers are increasingly expanding their writings by location and policy type. In addition, approximately 20 new insurers have entered the Florida market in recent years. Unlike the Insurance Entities, some new and established insurers write business predominantly by assuming risks from Citizens. Altogether, increased activity among authorized insurers has led to a decrease in Citizens’ policy count by approximately one million policies since the reforms. The current Florida residential property insurance market therefore is characterized by increased competition among authorized insurers, expanded coverage options for consumers, declining average rate levels and a significantly smaller residual insurance market.

Previous wording

Other states have experienced less disruption than Florida. The Insurance Entities therefore experience a high but stable degree of competition when entering and expanding into other states. In these states, the Insurance Entities often compete with national or regional insurers with greater experience in the specific markets. Our growth plan therefore includes developing relationships with the states’ independent agents and gradually expanding our presence as we gain familiarity with new markets. Over time, this has allowed our business outside of Florida to steadily increase as a percentage of our overall business.

Previous wording

The Company continues to experience higher costs associated with claims that pre-date the reforms. The remaining pre-reform claims typically are litigated claims that have resisted formal and informal efforts at dispute resolution. Although the number of claims subject to pre-reform laws continues to decline, it may be several years before all of them are resolved.

The remaining pre-reform claims typically are litigated claims that have resisted formal and informal efforts at dispute resolution. Although the number of claims subject to pre-reform laws has declined substantially, some might be resolved only through litigation and therefore might remain pending for months or longer.

Previous wording

Our business is affected by evolving domestic, national or global economic conditions, including the potential impact from tariffs and other inflationary pressures. Increased labor and materials costs can increase our claims costs. They can also have direct effects on our business, such as increasing the values of properties we insure and the corresponding premium levels, as well as indirect effects such as offsetting and diminishing the perceived benefits of the statutory reforms. We will continue to monitor our business model and strategy as economic conditions develop.

Previous wording

We also rely on global reinsurance markets to mitigate our exposure under policies we write. The availability and pricing of reinsurance can be influenced by global economic conditions such as inflation. Our ability to purchase desired levels of reinsurance at competitive prices also can be influenced by severe weather in Florida and elsewhere. Florida did not suffer a landfalling hurricane in 2025, which is a favorable consideration as we prepare for the mid-year renewal of our catastrophe reinsurance program. However, this benefit might be offset by reinsurers’ assessments of past and potential future events.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net income rose to $54.3 million from $41.4 million in 2025, with diluted EPS increasing to $1.88 from $1.44. Growth in premiums earned, net, investment income, realized gains, and policy fees, combined with total lower operating costs and expenses, contributed to improved performance. Higher unrealized losses and lower commission revenue impacted results in the first quarter of 2026. While losses and LAE costs were reduced, these were partially offset by increases in acquisition costs and other operating costs and expenses. The net loss ratio declined to 63.9% from 70.5% in 2025, and the combined ratio was 89.7%, down from 95.0% in 2025. No catastrophe events or prior-year reserve developments occurred in either period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, ceded premiums earned increased by $17.0 million, or 10.8%, compared to the same period in 2025. Ceded earned premiums represented 32.8% of direct earned premiums in 2026, rising from 30.7% in 2025. The increase in ceded earned premiums primarily reflects higher reinsurance costs from expanded coverage limits purchased under the 2025–2026 reinsurance program.

Keeping claims and legal operations in-house—especially in Florida’s litigious environment—boosts efficiency and coordination, leading to cost savings after catastrophes. We maintain staffing to manage catastrophe-related claims and litigation; however, these resources offer minimal net benefits during normal operations. Profits from our claim adjusting company reduce consolidated losses and LAE, but for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, there was no significant impact on consolidated results.

The maximum amount of dividends that can be paid by Florida insurance companies without prior approval of the FLOIR is subject to restrictions as referenced below and in“Item 1—Note 5 (Insurance Operations).” Dividends from the Insurance Entities can only be paid from accumulated unassigned funds derived from net operating profits and net realized capital gains. Subject to such accumulated unassigned funds, the maximum dividend that may be paid by the Insurance Entities to PSI, without prior approval (an “ordinary dividend”) is further limited to the lesser of statutory net income from operations of the preceding calendar year or statutory unassigned surplus as of the preceding year end. No dividends were paid to PSI by the Insurance Entities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or the year ended December 31, 2025. As of both dates, UPCIC did not meet the threshold for capacity to pay ordinary dividends; APPCIC met the regulatory threshold but did not declare or pay any dividend.

(“PSI”) are subject to regulatory limitations and, in certain circumstances, prior approval by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”). Under Florida law, dividends may be paid only from accumulated unassigned funds derived from net operating profits and net realized capital gains. In addition, the maximum amount that may be paid by the Insurance Entities without prior FLOIR approval is limited to the lesser of statutory net income from operations for the preceding calendar year or statutory unassigned surplus as of the preceding year end, subject to available accumulated unassigned funds. No dividends were paid by the Insurance Entities to PSI during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, UPCIC did not have ordinary dividend capacity under Florida law, while APPCIC met the regulatory threshold but did not declare or pay a dividend. See“Item 1—Note 5 (Insurance Operations)” for additional information regarding dividend limitations applicable to the Insurance Entities.

Previous wording

Capital resources, net increased by $33.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting a net increase in total stockholders’ equity, partially offset by a decline in debt. The change in stockholders’ equity was the result of our net income in the three months ended March 31, 2026, offset by our treasury share purchases and dividends to shareholders. The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of an increase in unrealized losses in our debt securities portfolio. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and“Item 1—Note 8 (Stockholders’ Equity)” for an explanation of changes in treasury stock. The reduction in debt during 2026 was primarily the result of principal payments on debt of $0.4 million offset by amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.2 million on our 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources”for more information.

See the “Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity” and“Item 1—Note 8 (Stockholders’ Equity)” for an explanation of changes in treasury stock. The reduction in debt during 2026 was primarily the result of principal payments on debt of $0.7 million and new debt issuance costs of $2.5 million on the 2031 Notes, offset by amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.6 million on our 2026 Notes. See“Item 1—Note 7 (Debt)”for more information.

Previous wording

Additional paid-in-capital decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to $2.1 million of treasury share repurchases and common stock value acquired and cancelled through withholdings for the intrinsic value and tax liabilities upon exercise of stock options and tax withholdings on performance share units and restricted stock units vested for share-based payment transactions. These were largely offset by the impact of stock options exercises of $0.4 million and share-based compensation expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Current wording

Losses, net reflect our adjusting company's claim activities within our holding system for the Insurance Entities and reinsurers. The net pre-tax results adjust LAE in addition to what the Insurance Entities incur. Keeping claims and legal operations in-house—especially in Florida’s litigious environment—boosts efficiency and coordination, leading to cost savings after catastrophes. We maintain staffing to manage catastrophe-related claims and litigation; however, these resources offer minimal net benefits during normal operations. Profits from our claim adjusting company reduce consolidated losses and LAE, but for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, there was no significant impact on consolidated results.
