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.” ____________________ 1 See the definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

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: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ($ in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Income before income taxes $ 29,734 $ 18,519 $ 62,754 $ 34,870 Less: Net investment income (10,961 ) (6,810 ) (30,747 ) (17,790 ) Net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on investments (9,179 ) (8,777 ) (5,990 ) (6,950 ) Other income (25 ) (24 ) (1,017 ) (72 ) Add: Interest expense 392 480 1,286 1,574 Other expenses 659 64 1,059 174 Underwriting income $ 10,620 $ 3,452 $ 27,345 $ 11,806 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: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ($ in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net income attributable to stockholders $ 22,664 $ 12,863 $ 48,747 $ 25,564 Adjustments: Other non-operating expenses(1) 207 — 608 — Tax impact (43 ) — (127 ) — Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders $ 22,828 $ 12,863 $ 49,228 $ 25,564 (1) In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, other non-operating expenses includes share-based compensation expenses recorded by us related to our initial public offering. 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: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ($ in thousands, except percentages) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Numerator: Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, annualized(1) $ 91,312 $ 51,452 $ 65,637 $ 34,085 Denominator: Average stockholders’ equity 574,125 349,822 493,434 341,716 Adjusted return on stockholders' equity 15.9 % 14.7 % 13.3 % 10.0 % (1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, net income and adjusted net income are annualized to arrive at return on stockholders’ equity and adjusted return on stockholders’ equity. 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. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 reconciles to diluted earnings per share as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ($ in thousands, except share and per share data) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Numerator: Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders $ 22,828 $ 12,863 $ 49,228 $ 25,564 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 49,972,530 36,229,096 45,046,434 36,233,646 Adjusted diluted earnings per share $ 0.46 $ 0.36 $ 1.09 $ 0.71 Conference Call Ategrity will hold a conference call to discuss this press release today, October 22, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
