Premiums Written and Earned

Revenues primarily consist of insurance and reinsurance premiums generated by the Company’s underwriting operations. Recognition of gross premiums written varies by policy or contract type.

For a portion of the Company’s insurance business, which comprises 50% of total gross premiums written, a fixed premium specified in the policy is recorded when the policy incepts. This premium may be adjusted if underlying insured values change. Management actively monitors underlying insured values and any resulting premium adjustments are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Gross premiums written on a fixed premium basis accounted for 26.7%, 26.9% and 30.2% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Some of this business is written through MGAs, third parties granted authority to bind risks on the Company’s behalf in accordance with defined underwriting guidelines.

The remainder of the Company’s insurance business is written on a line slip or proportional basis, where the Company assumes an agreed proportion of the premiums and losses of a particular risk or group of risks along with other unrelated insurers. As premiums for this business are not identified in the policy, estimated premiums are recorded at the inception of the policy based on information provided by clients through brokers. Management reviews these premium estimates on a quarterly basis and any premium estimate adjustments are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Gross premiums written on a line slip or proportional basis accounted for 23.6%, 25.8% and 26.8% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s reinsurance business, which comprises 50% of total gross premiums written, generally provides cover to cedants on an excess of loss or on a proportional basis. In most cases, cedants seek protection for business that they have not yet written when they enter into agreements and therefore cedants must estimate the underlying premiums that they will cede to the Company.

For proportional reinsurance contracts, the Company shares proportionally in both the premiums and losses of the cedant and pays the cedant a commission to cover the cedant’s acquisition costs. Gross premiums written are recognized on a quarterly basis as the underlying contracts incept over the term of the contract, based on estimates received from ceding companies. Management reviews these premium estimates on a quarterly basis and evaluates their reasonability in light of actual premiums reported by the cedants and brokers, supplemented by the Company’s own estimates based on experience and familiarity with each market.

As a result of this review process, any adjustments to premium estimates are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Changes in premium estimates could be material to gross premiums written in the period. Changes in premium estimates could also be material to net premiums earned in the period in which they are determined as any adjustment may be substantially or fully earned. Gross premiums written for proportional reinsurance contracts, including adjustments to premium estimates established in prior years, accounted for 27.9%, 24.4% and 20.7% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For excess of loss reinsurance contracts, the Company is typically exposed to loss events in excess of a predetermined dollar amount or loss ratio and receives a fixed or an initial minimum deposit premium. For excess of loss reinsurance contracts, minimum deposit premiums are generally considered to be the best estimate of premiums at the inception of the contract. The minimum deposit premium is typically adjusted at the end of the contract period to reflect changes in the underlying risks in force during the contract period. Any adjustments to minimum or deposit premiums are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Gross premiums written for excess of loss reinsurance contracts accounted for 21.8%, 22.9% and 22.3% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Many of the Company’s excess of loss reinsurance contracts also include provisions for automatic reinstatement of coverage in the event of a loss that has exhausted the initial amount of cover provided. Reinstatement premiums are recognized as written premium when a loss event occurs where coverage limits for the remaining life of the contract are reinstated under the contract.

Premiums are earned evenly over the period in which the Company is exposed to the underlying risk. Changes in circumstances subsequent to contract inception can impact the term of each earning period. For example, when exposure limits for a contract are reached, any associated unearned premiums are recognized as fully earned.

Fixed premium insurance policies and excess of loss reinsurance contracts are generally written on a "losses occurring" or "claims made" basis. Consequently, premiums are earned evenly over the contract term, which is typically 12 months.

Line slip or proportional insurance policies and proportional reinsurance contracts are generally written on a "risks attaching" basis, covering claims that relate to the underlying policies written during the terms of these contracts. As the underlying business incepts throughout the contract term, which is typically one year, and the underlying business typically has a one-year coverage period, these premiums are generally earned over a 24-month period.
