Consolidated Results of Operations for Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Basic book value per share increased by $1.11 per share, or 5.3%, to $22.00 per share from $20.89 per share at December 31, 2025. Fully diluted book value per share increased by $0.97 per share, or 4.7%, to $21.40 per share from $20.43 per share at December 31, 2025.
Net income for Q1 2026 increased by $6.1 million to $35.8 million, driven mainly by the following:
Underwriting income: Favorable change of $14.0 million, driven by 8.6 percentage points improvement in combined ratio, which was predominantly driven by 13.8 percentage points improvement in the loss ratio, offset partially by an increase in acquisition cost ratio and underwriting expense ratio. The lower loss ratio was due to the lower CAT and large event losses, coupled with an improved prior year reserve development ratio.
Interest expense: Decreased by $1.4 million driven by the reduction in outstanding debt.
Offset partially by:
Foreign exchange gains (losses): Unfavorable change of $9.3 million, driven mainly by the weakening of the pound sterling against the U.S. dollar during Q1 2026, compared to the strengthening of the pound against the U.S. dollar during Q1 2025.
