"The first quarter yielded an Underlying Combined Ratio of 90.4%, a small improvement on a year-over-year basis but not yet where we want to be," said Dan Peed, CEO of UPC Insurance. "Premium rate increases continued very strong, with an average 10.4% renewal business and nearly 19% new business achieved in personal lines. Our first quarter catastrophes, including winter storm Uri, caused losses near $24 million net of reinsurance, somewhat better than expectations. Our Commercial Residential business fared well and we’re on track with a second half roll out of our E&S insurance company and Direct to Consumer Technology platforms.
However, due to unusual loss development patterns in February and March, at the end of the first quarter we did an analysis of our exposure to the accelerating litigation trend in Florida. This resulted in a $30 million strengthening of both catastrophe and non-catastrophe Prior Year Reserves for Florida personal lines exposures, driving a core after tax loss for the quarter of approximately $19.4 million. We are very encouraged with last Friday’s Florida legislative

changes and believe they will mitigate the accelerating litigation trends, although it is too early to quantify the improvement.
The property catastrophe market remains firm, especially the Florida personal lines market which is expected to remain very firm for the foreseeable future. As stated previously, we expect 2021 to be a transition year, but we remain on track to continue expanding our underlying margin while also significantly cutting our net catastrophe retentions."

Exhibit 99.1

Quarterly Financial Results
Net loss attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2021 was $17.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $12.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by a decrease in net premiums earned during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 due to the underwriting actions implemented during the fourth quarter of 2020, as well as an increase in the Company's ceded premiums earned related to changes made to the Company's quota share agreements effective December 31, 2020. The Company also experienced an increase in the Company's loss and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) due to catastrophe losses from Winter Storm Uri and the rise in litigation-related claims in the state of Florida.

This increase in net loss was offset by an increase in the Company's net unrealized gains on equity securities due to improved market conditions in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 on a smaller equity investment portfolio and the overall decrease in policy acquisition costs in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 as described below.

The Company's total gross written premium decreased by $23.5 million, or 7.0%, to $311.6 million for the first quarter of 2021, from $335.2 million for the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in assumed premiums due to the termination of a contract which included commercial property business assumed from unaffiliated insurers. The breakdown of the quarter-over-quarter changes in both direct written and assumed premiums by region and gross written premium by line of business are shown in the table below.

(2) Assumed premium written for 2021 and 2020 primarily included commercial property business assumed from unaffiliated insurers.


Loss and LAE increased by $13.0 million, or 12.6%, to $115.8 million for the first quarter of 2021, from $102.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums increased 25.6 points to 79.3% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 53.7% for the first quarter of 2020.

Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, the Company's gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the first quarter of 2021 would have been 17.4%, a decrease of 7.8 points from 25.2% during the first quarter of 2020, representing an improvement in current year non-catastrophe loss and LAE expenses.

Policy acquisition costs decreased by $18.1 million, or 30.7%, to $40.8 million for the first quarter of 2021, from $58.9 million for the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in ceding commission income related to the Company's quota share reinsurance agreements.

Operating and underwriting expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 36.1%, to $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, from $9.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to increased expenditures on technology software and services.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.4 million, or 13.1%, to $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2021, from $18.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in the allocation of claims adjuster payroll related costs to loss & LAE from general and administrative expenses in 2021.

Reinsurance Costs as a Percentage of Gross Earned Premium

Reinsurance costs as a percentage of gross earned premium in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
20212020
Non-at-Risk(2.3)%(2.6)%
Quota Share(26.2)%(12.4)%
All Other(30.6)%(29.4)%
Total Ceding Ratio(59.1)%(44.4)%

The increase in this ratio was driven by modifications made to the Company's existing quota share agreement effective December 31, 2020. These modifications include extending coverage to include American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC) in the agreement, as well as increasing our cession percentage an additional 8% for ACIC, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, and Family Security Insurance Company, Inc. In addition, on December 31, 2020, the Company entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with Homeowners Choice Property and Casualty Insurance Company, Inc, which provides 69.5% reinsurance coverage on in-force, new and renewal policies in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.

Investment Portfolio Highlights

The Company's cash, restricted cash and investment holdings decreased from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2020, to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2021. The Company's cash and investment holdings consist of investments in U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt and 100% investment grade money market instruments. Fixed maturities represented approximately 93.4% of total investments at March 31, 2021, compared to 94.5% at December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, our fixed maturity investments had a modified duration of 4.4 years, compared to 4.1 years at December 31, 2020.

Book Value Analysis

Book value per common share decreased 9.5% from $9.19 at December 31, 2020, to $8.32 at March 31, 2021. Underlying book value per common share decreased 5.4% from $8.96 at December 31, 2020 to $8.48 at March 31, 2021. A decrease in the Company's retained earnings as the result of a net loss in the first quarter of 2021 drove the decrease in our book value per share. As shown in the table below, removing the effect of AOCI increases the Company's book value per common share, as the Company experienced unfavorable market conditions for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company believes that investors' understanding of UPC Insurance's performance is enhanced by the Company's disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. The Company's methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

Net income (loss) excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net of tax (core income (loss)) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by adding amortization, net of tax, to net income and subtracting realized gains (losses) on the Company's investment portfolio, net of tax, and unrealized gains (losses) on the Company's equity securities, net of tax, from net income. Amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired through mergers and, therefore, the expense does not arise through normal operations. Investment portfolio gains (losses) and unrealized equity security gains (losses) vary independent of the Company's operations. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when
5

Exhibit 99.1
reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income. The core income measure should not be considered a substitute for net income and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.

Core return on equity is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the core income for the period by the average stockholders’ equity for the trailing twelve months (or one quarter of such average, in the case of quarterly periods). Core income is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that is calculated by excluding from net income the effect of non-cash amortization of intangible assets, unrealized gains or losses on the Company's equity security investments and net realized gains or losses on the Company's investment portfolio. In the opinion of the Company’s management, core income, core income per share and core return on equity are meaningful indicators to investors of the Company's underwriting and operating results, since the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Internally, the Company’s management uses core income, core income per share and core return on equity to evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial targets on a consolidated basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on equity. The core return on equity measure should not be considered a substitute for return on equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.

Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year development from the combined ratio. The Company believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to highlight the trends in the Company's business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause the Company's loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their frequency of occurrence and severity and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.

Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from net loss and LAE. The Company uses underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze the Company's loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on the Company's reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on the Company's loss trends in a given period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.

Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (underlying book value per common share), is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing common stockholders' equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. The Company uses the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic and financial factors that are not influenced by management. Book value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share and does not reflect the recorded net worth of the Company's business.

Florida Litigation Market Dynamics 6 Insurers paid $15.3B in connection to lawsuits from 2013 to 2020 • 71% of payments have funded plaintiff attorney fees • One-way attorney fee statute has been the driver of frivolous suits • Attempts at legislative reform continue to fall short Litigation Trends Continued to Create a Challenging Operating Environment in Q1 Source: Guy Carpenter UPC per month suits continuing to grow since Hurricane Irma Industry Trend UPC Trend


 
Florida Legislative Update 7 SB 76 & 1598 Expected to Become Law July 1st & Provides Much Needed Relief Highlights Include: • Reducing the time limit for filing insurance claims to two years from the date of loss • Requiring plaintiffs to go thru several additional steps prior to filing a lawsuit on a property insurance claim • Replacing the one-way attorney fee statute with a statute that makes the recovery of attorney fees and costs contingent on obtaining a judgement for indemnity that exceeds the pre-suit offer made by the insurance company: In the event of a trial, the bill requires the plaintiff to obtain a damage award (excluding attorney fees and costs) of at least 50% of the “disputed amount” (the difference between the offered indemnity payment and the indemnity amount demanded) in order to be entitled to 100% of reasonable attorney fees. A recovery of less than 20% of the disputed amount result in no fee recovery by the plaintiff attorney. Recoveries of between 20% and 50% result in a proportionate recovery of attorney fees and costs. • Requiring the consolidation of legal actions involving coverage for multiple claims under the same residential insurance policy • Prohibits roofing contractors or any person acting on their behalf from making a “prohibited advertisement”. A “prohibited advertisement” includes any electronic communication, phone call, or document that solicits a claim, offers anything of value for performing a roof inspection, offers to interpret a policy of insurance, offers help in filing an insurance claim, or offers to adjust a claim on the insured’s behalf • Requiring public adjuster firms to be licensed by the State of Florida • Prohibits public adjusters from being paid by contractors or attorneys
