Quarterly Financial Results
Net income attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2023 was $260.9 million, or $5.99 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $33.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. Drivers of the net income from continuing operations during the first quarter of 2023 include increased gross premiums earned, decreased loss and LAE driven by decreased non-catastrophe losses, and decreases across policy acquisition costs, operating and underwriting expenses and general and administrative expenses. In addition to continuing operations, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $230.3 million, driven by the deconsolidation of UPC.
The Company's total gross written premium increased by $44.7 million, or 31.4%, to $187.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $142.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in our commercial premiums written, as we focus on transitioning towards a specialty commercial lines underwriter. The breakdown of the quarter-over-quarter changes in both direct written and assumed premiums by state and gross written premium by line of business are shown in the table below.

(1) We are no longer writing in Texas or South Carolina as of May 31, 2022.
(2) Assumed premium written for 2023 and 2022 primarily included commercial property business assumed from unaffiliated insurers.
Loss and LAE decreased by $13.4 million, or 41.2%, to $19.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $32.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums decreased 34.4 points to 21.9% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 56.3% for the first quarter of 2022. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, the Company's gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the first quarter of 2023 would have been 13.3%, a decrease of 10.4 points from 23.7% during the first quarter of 2022.
Policy acquisition costs decreased by $25.3 million, or 48.5%, to $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $52.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreases in agent commissions and policy administration fees, which fluctuate in conjunction with the quarter-over-quarter decrease in personal lines gross written premium. This was partially offset by an increase in external management fees incurred related to our commercial lines gross written premium during the first quarter of 2023, driven by increased written premium quarter-over-quarter.
Operating and underwriting expenses decreased by $4.9 million, or 46.2%, to $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreased investments in technology and decreased underwriting expenses as the result of the decrease in personal lines premiums shown in the table above.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.6 million, or 36.4%, to $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $15.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, driven by a decrease in salary related expenses attributable to decreased headcount quarter-over-quarter.

Exhibit 99.1
Personal Lines Operating Segment Highlights
Pre-tax earnings attributable to the Company's personal lines operating segment totaled $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a pre-tax loss of $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. Drivers of the quarter-over-quarter increase in pre-tax earnings include: a decrease in policy acquisition costs of $33.7 million, driven by decreased agent commissions and policy administration fees, a decrease in loss and LAE incurred of $13.2 million due to decreased non-catastrophe losses. The Company also experienced decreased operating expenses of $4.0 million driven by decreased investments in technology and underwriting expenses, and decreased general and administrative costs of $5.8 million, driven by decreased salary related expenses. These decreased expenses can be attributed to the Company's shift towards becoming a specialty commercial lines underwriter, resulting in reduced exposure, and lower costs associated with the servicing of this business.
Commercial Lines Operating Segment Highlights
Pre-tax earnings attributable to the Company's commercial lines operating segment totaled $38.9 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. This increase can be attributed to increased gross written premiums of $48.7 million, as the Company transitions towards becoming a specialty commercial lines underwriter.
This increased premium was partially offset by increased policy acquisition costs of $8.5 million, driven by increases in external management fees as a result of the increased premiums. Operating and underwriting and general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat, with a net decrease of $579 thousand experienced quarter-over-quarter.
Reinsurance Costs as a Percentage of Gross Earned Premium
Reinsurance costs as a percentage of gross earned premium in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
| 2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||
| Non-at-Risk | (0.5) | % | (0.6) | % | |||||||
| Quota Share | (6.1) | % | (15.6) | % | |||||||
| All Other | (33.0) | % | (36.8) | % | |||||||
| Total Ceding Ratio | (39.6) | % | (53.0) | % | |||||||
Ceded premiums earned related to the Company's quota share reinsurance contracts decreased quarter-over-quarter driven by the non-renewal of external quota share contracts that provided coverage to ACIC in 2022.
Ceded premiums earned related to the Company's catastrophe program decreased, driven by the need for less coverage for the 2022-2023 treaty year for the reduction in the geographic footprint and exposure, as well as the change from a cascading aggregate structure to an occurrence-based structure for the Company's 2022-2023 program.
Reinsurance costs as a percentage of gross earned premium in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 for the Company's personal lines and commercial lines operating segments were as follows:

Investment Portfolio Highlights
The Company's cash, restricted cash and investment holdings increased from $340.9 million at December 31, 2022 to $372.7 million at March 31, 2023. The Company's cash and investment holdings consist of investments in U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt and investment grade money market instruments. Fixed maturities represented approximately 91.4% of total investments at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company's fixed maturity investments had a modified duration of 4.0 years at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Book Value Analysis
Book value per common share increased 145.9% from $(4.21) at December 31, 2022, to $1.93 at March 31, 2023. Underlying book value per common share increased 172.2% from $(3.49) at December 31, 2022 to $2.52 at March 31, 2023. A increase in the Company's retained earnings as the result of net income from both continuing and discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2023 drove the increase in the Company's 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 has experienced unfavorable capital market conditions resulting in an accumulated other comprehensive loss position at March 31, 2023.

Exhibit 99.1
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company believes that investors' understanding of UIHC'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, income (loss) from discontinued operations, 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 (loss) and subtracting income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, 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 (loss). Amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired, including goodwill, 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 reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). The core income (loss) measure should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that is calculated by excluding from net income (loss) the effect of income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, non-cash amortization of intangible assets, including goodwill, 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 (loss), core income (loss) 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 (loss), core income (loss) 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.

Exhibit 99.1
Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss (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 (loss), 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 (loss), 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 (loss), 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.

Investor Presentation First Quarter 2023
Company Overview 2 UIHC is a specialty underwriter of catastrophe exposed property insurance. United Insurance Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: UIHC) was founded in 1999 and is the insurance holding company for two P&C carriers: American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC) and Interboro Insurance Company (IIC) along with other operating affiliates. ACIC has the #1 market share of commercial residential property insurance (commercial lines) in Florida with roughly 5,100 policies and $563 million of premium in-force. IIC’s homeowners & fire insurance products (personal lines) are written exclusively in New York with roughly 18,000 policies and $31 million of premium in-force. UIHC as of March 31, 2023 Total Assets: $1.4 billion Total Equity: $83.5 million Annualized Revenue: $416.2 million Employees: 110 Headquarters: St. Petersburg, FL Credit Rating: BB+ (Kroll) Specialty Commercial Property Specialty Homeowners
3 Executive Summary • Q1-23 Results • GAAP net income of $260.9m included a $230.3m gain from discontinued operations from de-consolidating our former affiliate United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPC). The prior year was recast to conform to the presentation of discontinued operations. • GAAP net income from continuing operations of $30.5m improved 563% from $4.6m last year driven by strong underwriting performance in commercial lines from ACIC. UIHC’s combined ratio of 70.5% was also a significant improvement from the prior year. • Current accident year catastrophe losses of $3.1m compared favorably to $6.6m last year, and favorable prior year reserve development of $3.2m primarily in commercial lines was also a positive contribution and consistent with the prior year. • Stockholders’ equity attributable to UIHC as of March 31, 2023, was $83.5m or $1.93 per share and $2.52 per share excluding unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income. • Other Highlights • On April 19, 2023, we obtained a memorandum of understanding from the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) ratifying and accepting a reinsurance allocation agreement covering the 2022 core catastrophe reinsurance program previously approved by the Office of Insurance Regulation. This action provided critical clarity regarding future reinsurance recoverable for ACIC related to Hurricane Ian but did not settle reinsurance recovered by UPC on behalf of ACIC. We are working diligently with the DFS to resolve this. • We have secured 100% of the capacity needed for our new 2023-24 catastrophe reinsurance program for ACIC and are also nearing completion of IIC’s program renewal to be effective 6/1/23 and expect to announce the key details once the programs are finalized. • The Company believes these two highlights above along with other actions being taken to resolve all amounts due to and from UPC will ultimately rectify the two primary reasons identified by our independent auditor for their going concern opinion issued on April 17, 2023.
