(1) Information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release, including definitions of these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures and limitations related thereto, is described below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and in the tables attached to this press release. Beginning with first quarter of 2026, Accelerant updated definitions for these non-GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of net realized and unrealized investment gains or losses. Net realized and unrealized investment (losses) gains were $(1.6) million and $39.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $51.5 million and $43.4 million in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Figures for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 in the table above were recast to reflect the new presentation.
Transaction with Thoma Bravo
As previously announced on August 13, 2026, Accelerant entered into a definitive agreement with Thoma Bravo. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. In light of the pending transaction, Accelerant will not host an earnings conference call in connection with the third quarter 2026 results. In addition, Accelerant will not provide guidance for the fourth quarter of 2026 or the full year of 2026 as a result of the pending transaction.

Forward-Looking Statements
All statements in this release that are not historical are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Accelerant Holdings (“we” or “our”) generally identifies forward-looking statements by use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “should,” “will” or “would,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about the markets in which we operate, including growth of our various markets, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions, or future events or performance contained in this release are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed in Accelerant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as may be supplemented in Accelerant’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other periodic and current reports filed by Accelerant with the SEC, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, or could affect our share price.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In assessing the performance of our business, non-GAAP financial measures are used that are derived from our consolidated financial information but are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate our financial performance by excluding certain items that are related to our non-core business operations and therefore are not considered to be directly attributable to our underlying operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, should not be considered substitutes for the reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to U.S. GAAP net income or net (loss) as indicators of our financial performance. Although we use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because it does not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as indications that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following non-GAAP financial measures are used in this document or in other disclosures we make from time to time:

Exhibit 99.1
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share
We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) less the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expenses, income tax expenses and the following items:
i.Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments: Primarily represents changes in fair value of investment funds, realized gains and losses on dispositions of investments, and changes in fair value of certain other equity security investments accounted for under the measurement alternative where we adjust fair value based on observable price movements in such, or similar, investments.
ii.Other expenses: Represents costs related to our non-core business operations, primarily related to our global enterprise resource planning system and integrated financial reporting systems, and legal and advisory costs in connection with corporate development activities including mergers and acquisitions, capital raising activities and entity formations that support our growing business, and Mission profit sharing expenses (including periodic buyouts of existing awards).
iii.Non-recurring profits interest distribution expenses resulting from the IPO: Represents non-cash profits interest distribution expenses related to the settlement of all outstanding profits interest awards through the distribution of our 65,270,453 Class A common shares held by Accelerant Holdings LP to certain of our officers and employees that fully vested upon the IPO. These expenses were entirely offset by a corresponding capital contribution for that distribution of shares. These expenses only occurred at one point in time (July 2025) and will not recur.
iv.Share-based compensation expenses included within general and administrative expenses: Represents non-cash expense related to the fair value of share-based equity awards granted to employees and directors, including restricted share units and share options and other awards that can settle in cash, recognized over the requisite service period for the awards.
v.Net foreign currency exchange gains (losses): Represents non-cash foreign currency gains or losses related to transactions in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency and are excluded both on the basis of volatility and that such amounts are largely offset by corresponding changes in other comprehensive income primarily based on our intercompany reinsurance.
We define "Adjusted Net Income" as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) excluding the impact of the following items:
i.net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments;
ii.other expenses;
iii.non-recurring profits interest distribution expenses resulting from the IPO;
iv.share-based compensation expenses included within general and administrative expenses;
v.the tax effect of the above adjustments.
We define “Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share” as adjusted net income for a period divided by the corresponding weighted average diluted shares on a U.S. GAAP basis. (GAAP diluted shares are used for simplicity and that any difference from recalculating such diluted shares using adjusted income is expected to be immaterial.)
Operating Revenues
We define “Operating Revenues” as U.S. GAAP revenues excluding the impact of net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Operating Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is an internal performance measure used in the management of our operations.
The reconciliation of the above non-GAAP measures to each of their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this document.

(1) General and administrative expenses include share-based compensation expenses of $32.3 million and $27.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $89.6 million and $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(2) Non-cash profits interest distribution expenses related to the settlement of all outstanding profits interest awards through the distribution of 65,270,453 Class A common shares of the Company held by Accelerant Holdings LP to certain officers and employees of the Company that fully vested upon the Company's July 25, 2025 initial public offering (IPO). The ultimate settlement of the profit interest awards was equity neutral because the contribution of the shares to officers and employees was reflected as a capital contribution to the Company by Accelerant Holdings LP, which represented an equal and offsetting amount to the associated non-cash expense.
(3) During a period of loss, the basic weighted average ordinary shares outstanding is used in the denominator of the diluted loss per ordinary share computation as the effect of including potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive. The potential common shares excluded from the calculation of potential dilutive common shares outstanding were 28,661,849 shares and 26,694,417 shares (primarily related to share options granted to employees that have an exercise price above the market price of shares during the period) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The potential common shares excluded from the calculation of potential diluted shares outstanding were 2,963,669 shares and 2,243,862 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

(1) The tax effect of the adjustments to net (loss) income for each period presented were calculated using the statutory tax rates for each of our legal entities where such revenue and expense adjustments were incurred, including certain non-taxing jurisdictions. The statutory tax rates used in the calculations were adjusted in instances where our legal entities have applied full valuation allowances to their respective deferred tax assets of unutilized net operating losses. As such, the tax effect for the respective years varies based on the jurisdictional mix of where the revenue and expense adjustments were incurred in each year.
(2) Beginning with first quarter of 2026, Accelerant updated definitions for these non-GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of net realized and unrealized investment gains or losses. Net realized and unrealized investment (losses) gains were $(1.6) million and $39.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $51.5 million and $43.4 million in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Figures for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 in the table above were recast to reflect the new presentation.
