This report contains, and management may make, certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “views,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements include, among other things, the Company’s statements about:
| · | our anticipated operating and financial performance, business plans, and prospects; |
| · | strategic reviews, capital allocation objectives, dividends, and share repurchases; |
| · | plans for and prospects of acquisitions, dispositions, and other business development activities, and our ability to successfully capitalize on these opportunities; |
| · | the impact of a future pandemic and related economic conditions, including the potential impact on the Company's investments; |
| · | our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities either through acquisitions or the expansion of our distribution network; |
| · | cyclical changes in the insurance industry, competition, innovation, and emerging technologies; |
| · | expectations for the impact of, or changes to, existing or new government regulations or laws; |
| · | our ability to anticipate and respond to macroeconomic, geopolitical, health and industry trends, pandemics, acts of war, government shutdowns, and other large-scale crises; |
| · | developments in general economic conditions (including the impact of tariffs and changes in tax laws), domestic and global financial markets, interest rates, unemployment, or inflation, that could affect the performance of our insurance operations and/or investment portfolio; and |
| · | our ability to effectively manage future growth, including additional necessary capital, systems, and personnel. |
Given their nature, we cannot assure that any outcome expressed in these or other forward-looking statements will be realized in whole or in part. Actual outcomes may vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated, implied, or projected. These forward-looking statements may be affected by underlying assumptions that may prove inaccurate or incomplete, or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) and in the Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”). The occurrence of any of the risks identified in the Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” section of the 2025 Annual Report, or other risks currently unknown, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, or we may be required to increase our accruals for contingencies. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider such discussion to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.
Therefore, you are cautioned not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities law. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects.
