The Company reported net income attributable to stockholders of $17.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders(1) was $17.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share(1).

Gross written premiums increased 32.3% to $167.5 millionNet income attributable to stockholders was $17.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted shareAdjusted net incomeattributable to stockholders(1) was $17.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted shareCombined ratio was 88.9%, compared to 94.0% in Q2 2024Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity(1) was 14.5%Book value per share at quarter-end was $11.64 per share, up 12.2% from year-endInitial public offering was completed in June 2025, raising $130.3 million in gross proceeds through the issuance of 7,666,667 shares
“This was a strong quarter for Ategrity,” said Justin Cohen, Chief Executive Officer. “We executed with focus and discipline, expanding distribution relationships, delivering solid underwriting results, and driving operational efficiencies. Our productionized underwriting model, which combines technical underwriting with technology-enabled processes, is gaining traction in the marketplace, delivering value to our partners, and driving profitability for our shareholders. Looking ahead, we believe our investments in automation and analytics will accelerate our opportunity to redefine how E&S insurance for small and medium-sized businesses is underwritten and delivered.”
Underwriting Results
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, gross written premiums increased 32.3% compared to the prior-year period, driven by expansion of our distribution network and increased wallet share with existing partners. Gross written premiums for casualty lines increased 56.7% year-over-year, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on expanding casualty-related products and verticals. Gross written premiums in property lines increased 3.7% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of pricing actions and targeted reductions in catastrophe exposure initiated in 2024.
Underwriting income(1) was $9.6 million for the quarter, up 119.1% from $4.4 million in the prior year period. The combined ratio for the quarter was 88.9%, a decrease from 94.0% in the prior-year period, driven by improvements in both the loss and expense ratios. The loss ratio decreased by 2.8 percentage points to 58.0%, supported by strong underwriting results in property, including lower attritional losses and favorable catastrophe experience.
The overall expense ratio was 31.0% for the quarter, compared to 33.2% in the prior-year period. The largest driver of this improvement was policy acquisition costs as a percentage of net earned premiums, which decreased by 2.6 percentage points to 18.5%, reflecting higher ceded earned commissions and a more favorable business mix. Operating expenses, net of fee income, were 12.4% of net earned premiums for the quarter, reflecting increased fee income and emerging operating scale. Operating expenses were higher year-over-year due to investments made in 2024 in personnel, systems, and infrastructure in anticipation of growth opportunities and the Company’s transition to becoming a public company.
“This quarter’s underwriting results reflect the deliberate actions we have taken to grow and shape our business,” said Chris Schenk, President and Chief Underwriting Officer. “We saw a meaningful increase in submissions, but we deployed capital with discipline. We achieved above-technical rates in casualty, held firm on property rates even as parts of the market began to soften, and concentrated on targeted micro-segments where we have deep expertise. By leveraging our productionized underwriting model—combining segmentation, analytics-driven pricing, and automation—we were able to deliver strong, profitable growth.”

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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 reconciles to income before income taxes as follows:

Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders (previously referred to as adjusted net income attributable to members)
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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 reconciles to net income attributable to stockholders as follows:

Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity (previously referred to as adjusted return on members’ 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 six months ended June 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 available 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.
