Current report
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Current report
Net premiums earned were $198.3 million and $381.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $187.8 million and $372.6 million for the corresponding periods of 2024.
Current report
The increase in our calendar year losses and LAE during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods of 2024, was primarily due to a higher current accident year loss and LAE estimate as unfavorable loss trends have been observed, predominantly in California due to the rapid increase in cumulative trauma (CT) claims. As a result of this increased loss activity, we increased our current accident year loss and LAE ratio to 69.0%, which required an increase to the 2025 first quarter loss and LAE estimate of $5.5 million that resulted in the 70.7% calendar year loss and LAE ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2025. In addition, we reallocated observed favorable loss reserve development from accident years 2020 and prior to more recent accident years 2022 through 2024, which resulted in no net prior accident year development on our voluntary business for the quarter.
Current report
The favorable prior year loss development on our voluntary business during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted from continued overall favorable loss experience, which related primarily to accident years 2022 and prior, partially offset by unfavorable prior year loss experience in accident year 2023 associated with certain large claims.
Current report
The reduction in our commission expense ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to an increase in the proportion of renewal premiums, which are typically subject to a lower commission rate, and lower agency incentive accruals. The reduction in our commission expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to an increase in the proportion of renewal premiums, which are typically subject to a lower commission rate, a release of commissions payable associated with non-performing policies sent to collections, and lower agency incentive accruals.
Current report
Our underwriting expense ratio was 21.7% and 22.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 22.4% and 23.7% for the corresponding periods of 2024, and our underwriting expenses were $43.1 million and $86.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $42.2 million and $88.4 million for the corresponding periods of 2024. The reduction in our underwriting expense ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by our disciplined focus on expense reduction.
Current report
The decrease in underwriting expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily the result of decreases in compensation-related expenses of $4.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.5 million, and policyholder dividends of $0.8 million, partially offset by lower AO and other expense allocations of $5.2 million, each compared to the same period of 2024.
Current report
During the second quarter of 2025, EPIC declared a $23.9 million dividend payment to EGI, which was paid in July 2025 and subsequently distributed to EHI. As a result of that dividend payment, EPIC cannot pay dividends for the remainder of 2025 without prior regulatory approval.
Current report
During the second quarter of 2025, EAC declared a $23.6 million dividend payment to EGI, which was paid in July 2025 and subsequently distributed to EHI. As a result of that dividend payment, EAC cannot pay dividends for the remainder of 2025 without prior regulatory approval.

Gross premiums written were $212.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $210.9 million for the corresponding period of 2024. While renewal premiums have benefited from strong retention rates experienced during the first three months of 2025, this growth was offset by a decline in new business premiums and lower final audit premiums. We closed another quarter with a record number of policies in-force. Total in-force policies at March 31, 2025 were 133,121 compared to 130,767 in-force policies at December 31, 2024.

Losses and LAE represents our largest expense item and includes claim payments made, amortization of the Deferred Gain, Contingent Commission adjustments, estimates for future claim payments and changes in those estimates for current and prior accident years, and costs associated with investigating, defending, and adjusting claims. The accuracy of our financial reporting depends in large part on determining our losses and LAE reserves, which are inherently uncertain as they are estimates of the ultimate cost of individual claims based on actuarial estimation techniques.

The accuracy of our financial reporting depends in large part on determining our losses and LAE reserves, which are inherently uncertain as they are estimates of the ultimate cost of individual claims based on actuarial estimation techniques. We believe that our loss estimates are adequate; however, ultimate losses will not be known with any certainty for many years.
Previous wording
We analyze our loss and LAE ratios on both a calendar year and accident year basis. Our current accident year loss and LAE estimates, excluding LPT, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as shown below, are slightly increased as compared to those of the prior period presented. We believe that our current accident year loss estimate is adequate; however, ultimate losses will not be known with any certainty for many years. Our current accident year loss and LAE ratios continue to reflect the impact of key business initiatives, including: an emphasis on accelerated settlements of open claims; further diversifying risk exposure across geographic markets, when appropriate; and leveraging data-driven strategies to target, underwrite, and price profitable classes of business across all of our markets.
Current wording
We analyze our loss and LAE ratios on both a calendar year and accident year basis.
Previous wording
The accident year loss and LAE ratio is calculated by dividing cumulative losses and LAE for reported events that occurred during a particular year by the net premiums earned for that year. The accident year loss and LAE ratio for a particular year can decrease or increase when recalculated in subsequent periods as the reserves established for insured events occurring during that year fluctuate.

Previous wording
The increase in our calendar year losses and LAE during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of 2024, was primarily due to a higher current accident year loss and LAE estimate as unfavorable loss trends have been observed. Prior accident year unfavorable loss reserve development totaled $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which included $0.6 million net unfavorable loss reserve development on our assigned risk business. Prior accident year favorable loss reserve development on our assigned risk business totaled $0.1 million during three months ended March 31, 2024.
