Chief Executive Officer Justin Cohen said, “Ategrity delivered another quarter of top-line growth and margin expansion. Our results reflect consistent execution of our underwriting strategy, supported by disciplined pricing and prudent risk selection. Growth initiatives and broader distribution drove higher submission volume, which we converted into profitable business without compromising selectivity. Our business scaled efficiently, producing operating leverage and a lower expense ratio. We operate a differentiated model underpinned by analytics and automation that continues to extend our advantage in the market and drive profitable growth.”
Underwriting Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, gross written premiums increased 30.1% compared to the prior-year period, driven by execution of our growth initiatives and increased engagement across our expanding distribution network. Gross written premiums for casualty lines increased 41.4% year-over-year, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on broadening casualty-related products and verticals. Gross written premiums in property lines increased 10.8% year-over-year, an acceleration of growth on a sequential basis, reflecting the benefit of a full-year anniversary of the pricing and catastrophe management actions initiated in the third quarter of 2024.
Underwriting income(1) was $10.6 million for the quarter, up 207.7% from $3.5 million in the prior year period. The combined ratio for the quarter was 88.7%, a decrease from 95.3% in the prior-year period, driven by improvements in both the loss and expense ratios. The loss ratio decreased by 2.1 percentage points to 60.0%, supported by strong underwriting results in property, including lower attritional losses and favorable catastrophe experience.
The overall expense ratio was 28.7% for the quarter, compared to 33.2% in the prior-year period, driven by operating expense leverage and lower net policy acquisition costs. Operating expenses, net of fee income, decreased as a percentage of net earned premiums by 2.7 percentage points to 10.8%, reflecting emerging scale benefits of our centralized model, as well as improved fee income. Policy acquisition costs also contributed to margin expansion, decreasing as a percentage of net earned premiums by 1.8 percentage points to 17.9%, reflecting favorable business mix.
President and Chief Underwriting Officer Chris Schenk said, “This quarter’s performance demonstrates how combining disciplined underwriting with the strategic deployment of technology drives strong operating results. Submission growth accelerated in the third quarter, reflecting our expanding distribution network and record demand for our products. We remained selective in our underwriting, attaining our target hit ratios. We achieved rate increases ahead of loss trend in both property and casualty lines. Our results benefited from favorable property experience and a deliberate shift in our portfolio toward areas of our business with stronger underlying economics. We also improved our exposure profile and grew premiums faster than expenses. Taken together, these results reinforce the scalability of our productionized underwriting model and its ability to deliver sustainable growth and profitability.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors in our common stock with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. Management believes that excluding certain items that are not indicative of core performance assists in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Underwriting Income
We define underwriting income as income before income taxes excluding the impact of net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, other income, interest expense, and other expenses (which include expenses related to corporate activities and expenses recorded by us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering). Underwriting income is a measure of the pre-tax profitability of our underwriting operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to net investment income among other things. We use this metric as we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before income taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP and other companies may define underwriting income differently.
Underwriting income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 reconciles to income before income taxes as follows:

Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders
We define adjusted net income attributable to stockholders as net income attributable to stockholders excluding certain other non-operating expenses, which include expenses recorded by us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. We use adjusted net income attributable to stockholders as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders should not be viewed as a substitute for net income attributable to stockholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.
Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 reconciles to net income attributable to stockholders as follows:

Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity
We define adjusted return on stockholders’ equity as adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, expressed as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders excludes the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook, net of tax impact. We use adjusted return on stockholders’ equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on stockholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on stockholders’ equity and adjusted net income attributable to stockholders differently.
Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 reconciles to return on stockholders’ equity as follows:

Adjusted diluted earnings per share
We define adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, divided by weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted for the period. We use adjusted diluted earnings per share as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be viewed as a substitute for diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted diluted earnings per share differently.

About Ategrity Specialty Insurance Company Holdings
Ategrity Specialty Insurance Company Holdings is a profitable and growing specialty insurance company dedicated to providing excess and surplus (“E&S”) products to small to medium-sized businesses across the United States. We have built a proprietary underwriting platform that combines sophisticated data analytics with automated and streamlined processes to efficiently serve our clients and deliver long-term value to our stockholders.
