Current report
The increase in our commission expense ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily the result of higher commission rates on new business writings in 2026 combined with a one-time adjustment that reduced the 2025 third quarter ratio.

Previous wording
Our 2026 underwriting results reflect lower net premiums earned, partially offset by reductions in losses and LAE, commission expenses, and underwriting expenses. Our investment results were primarily impacted by favorable net realized and unrealized gains on investments as net investment income was slightly higher for the quarter, but lower in the first half of 2026, as compared to prior year periods.
Current wording
Our 2026 underwriting results reflect lower net premiums earned, partially offset by the related reductions in losses and LAE, commission expenses, and underwriting expenses when compared to the prior year periods. Our investment results benefited from strong and steady net investment income in both periods, while the nine months ended also reflected moderate net realized and unrealized gains on investments.
Previous wording
Our 2025 underwriting results reflect moderate increases in net premiums earned offset by higher losses and LAE. Commission expense and underwriting expenses were higher in the second quarter, but lower in the first half of 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024. Our 2025 investment results benefited from strong net investment income and favorable net realized and unrealized gains.
Current wording
Our 2025 underwriting results demonstrated moderate growth in net premiums earned, accompanied by reductions in both commission expense and underwriting expenses. These improvements were offset by higher losses and LAE. Our 2025 investment results were strong, driven by solid net investment income and favorable net realized and unrealized gains.

Previous wording
Gross premiums written were $163.4 million and $344.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $203.3 million and $415.4 million for the corresponding periods of 2025, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, decreases in gross premiums written were largely driven by declines in both new and renewal business premiums, primarily reflecting our pricing and underwriting actions, which commenced in 2025 and continue in 2026, taken to return to historical underwriting margins. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our ending final audit premium accruals and a premium restitution of $2.5 million from a former policyholder reflected in both periods. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2026, we bound our first excess workers' compensation policy. Total in-force policies at June 30, 2026 were 127,601 compared to 134,421 in-force policies at June 30, 2025.
Current wording
Gross premiums written were $151.1 million and $495.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $183.9 million and $599.3 million for the corresponding periods of 2025, respectively. The decreases for both periods were largely driven by declines in both new and renewal business premiums, primarily reflecting our pricing and underwriting actions, which commenced in 2025 and continue throughout 2026, undertaken to return to historical underwriting margins. Renewal premium declines were also driven by lower endorsements. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our ending final audit premium accrual and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a $2.5 million premium restitution recorded in the second quarter of 2026. In addition, we continue to expand our product offerings, including excess workers' compensation policies, which we began underwriting in June 2026. Total in-force policies at September 30, 2026 were 124,043 compared to 135,414 in-force policies at September 30, 2025.

Previous wording
Losses and LAE represents our largest expense item and includes claim payments made, amortization of the Deferred Gain, 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. We believe that our loss estimates are adequate; however, ultimate losses will not be known with any certainty for many years.
Current wording
Losses and LAE represents our largest expense item and includes claim payments made, 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, offset by amortization of the Deferred Gain. 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
The decrease in our calendar year losses and LAE during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, was primarily due to lower earned premiums as our current accident year loss and LAE estimate remains consistent. The decrease in our calendar year losses and LAE during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, was primarily due to lower earned premiums, partially offset by a higher current accident year loss and LAE estimate due to increased cumulative trauma (CT) claim frequency in California.
Current wording
The decrease in our calendar year losses and LAE during the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, was primarily due to the absence of prior accident year reserve strengthening, lower earned premiums, and a lower current accident year loss and LAE ratio, as the third quarter of 2025 included an increase in our current accident year loss estimate. The decrease in our calendar year losses and LAE during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025, was primarily due to lower earned premiums, as our current accident year loss and LAE estimate remains consistent, and the absence of prior accident year adverse loss reserve development recognized in 2025.
Previous wording
Prior accident year net favorable loss reserve development totaled $0.4 million on our assigned risk business during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Prior accident year net favorable loss reserve development on our assigned risk business totaled $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026. Prior accident year net adverse loss reserve development totaled $37.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, which included $38.2 million net adverse loss reserve development on our voluntary business and $0.4 million of net favorable loss reserve development on our assigned risk business.
Previous wording
Our current accident year loss and LAE ratio excluding LPT related to our voluntary business was 72.0% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and consistent with the same ratio recorded for accident year 2025.

The decrease in underwriting expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily the result of lower policyholder dividends of $1.4 million, net CECL provision on premiums receivable of $1.1 million, compensation-related expenses of $1.0 million, and premium taxes and assessments of $0.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by lower internal AO and other expense allocations of $0.8 million, each compared to the same period of 2025.

Previous wording
Net investment income increased 1.1% and decreased 5.9% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2025. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily related to higher yield on fixed maturity securities. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to reduced distributions from our investments in private equity limited partnerships, which were elevated in the prior period, and lower invested balances, partially offset by higher yields on fixed maturity securities resulting from our investment rebalancing activity in 2025.
Current wording
Net investment income increased 23.8% and 3.2% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2025.

The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily the result of higher book yields on our fixed maturity securities.
