Current report
Our 2026 program, established in the second quarter of 2026, reflects a shift in the way we purchase catastrophe reinsurance. We consolidated multiple program level XOL contracts into a single Group Cat structure. The new structure also incorporates the previous corporate catastrophe cover. The Group Cat covers all catastrophe exposed business written by us and attaches after inuring any program specific reinsurance, the FHCF, and the catastrophe bonds.
Current report
The change to portfolio level management of our reinsurance program allowed us to place a whole account quota share that provides coverage for both property and casualty programs.
Current report
The whole account quota share was a strategic reinsurance program placed on June 1, 2026. The contract covers all lines of business, of which we have a retention of at least equal to the reinsurance participation. This aligns our interests with that of the reinsurer. While the whole account quota share provides some property catastrophe relief below the attachment of the Group Cat, it was mainly placed to increase future growth optionality and manage the business on portfolio basis.

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for, as applicable, (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) the impact of other non-cash fair market value adjustments, (iv) impairment and restructuring related expenses, (v) gain or loss on the sale of a business, and (vi) other one-off transactions, which primarily include the receipt of earnout consideration and certain legal fees and settlement costs that we consider to be unique in nature, net of tax impact. We calculate the tax impact only on adjustments which would be included in calculating our income tax expense using the estimated tax rate at which the company received a deduction for these adjustments. We exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-cash fair market value adjustments, because these are non-cash expenses or non-cash fair value adjustments and we believe that excluding these items provides meaningful information regarding performance and ongoing cash-generation potential. We exclude impairment and restructuring related expenses, gain or loss on sale of business, and other one-off transactions because such expenses are periodic in nature and have no direct correlation to the cost of operating our business on an ongoing basis that we consider to be unique in nature.

To date, we have funded operations primarily with issuances of convertible preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, common stock and a surplus note, as well as from asset dispositions and revenue. While we have achieved profitability in recent quarters, we cannot assure that we will continue to generate sufficient revenue and other income to cover operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. We expect the funds raised as discussed above to fund our cash needs. However, our capital requirements depend on many factors, including the volume of issuances of insurance policies, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, investments in information technology systems, and the expansion of sales and marketing activities. In the future, we may raise additional funds through the issuance of debt or equity securities or through borrowing. We cannot assure that such funds will be on favorable terms, or available at all.

Previous wording
Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily relate to purchase commitments, lease payments, our surplus note, and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense. There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, other than an increase in Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense. The estimation of the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is based on various complex and subjective judgments. Actual losses paid may differ, perhaps significantly, from the reserve estimates reflected in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Similarly, the timing of payment of our estimated losses is not fixed and there may be significant changes in actual payment activity. The assumptions used in estimating the likely payments due by period are based on our historical claims payment experience and industry payment patterns, but due to the inherent uncertainty in the process of estimating the timing of such payments, there is a risk that the amounts paid can be significantly different from the amounts disclosed.
