The Company reported net income attributable to stockholders of $33.5 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $17.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders(1) was $33.5 million, or $0.67 per diluted share(1).

These results demonstrate the strength of our productionized underwriting platform, and our ability to take market share while expanding profitability. “The scalability of our model was evident this quarter, as our expense ratio improved 350 basis points to 27.5%, contributing to a 66.9% increase in underwriting income. We continue to see opportunities to drive further efficiencies through automation and streamlined processes while executing our disciplined underwriting approach. As we continue to scale, we believe our model is positioned to deliver attractive returns for shareholders and exceptional value to our distribution partners.” Underwriting Results For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, gross written premiums increased 23.4% 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 24.7% year-over-year, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on broadening casualty-related products and verticals. Gross written premiums in property lines increased 21.3% year-over-year, with contribution from growth in lower-risk geographies, including the Midwest and New England. Underwriting income(1) was $16.0 million for the quarter, up 66.9% from $9.6 million in the prior-year period. The combined ratio for the quarter was 85.9%, a decrease from 88.9% in the prior-year period, driven by improvement in the expense ratio. The loss ratio increased by 0.5 percentage points to 58.5%, reflecting a shift in business mix toward our Brokerage channel in recent periods and lower catastrophe activity in the prior-year period. The overall expense ratio was 27.5% for the quarter, compared to 31.0% 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 2.9 percentage points to 9.5%, reflecting emerging scale benefits of our centralized model and stronger fee income. Policy acquisition costs also improved, decreasing by 0.6 percentage points to 17.9% of net earned premiums due to a favorable shift in our business mix. “Our team delivered another quarter of strong growth while maintaining our technical underwriting standards,” said Chris Schenk, President and Chief Underwriting Officer. “Record new business growth was driven by the expansion of our distribution relationships and the execution of differentiated growth strategies, including initiatives such as Project Heartland and our New England strategy. We also entered the quarter with a larger and more valuable renewal portfolio, reflecting the cumulative benefits of investments made over the past several years. Together, these differentiated growth initiatives and our expanding renewal franchise are creating a more durable, predictable and profitable earnings foundation.” “Across our portfolio, we continue to capture attractive opportunities as we see increased market focus on coverage terms and conditions, particularly in the middle-market segment. Our strategy is to provide insureds with the coverage they need at fair, technically sound rates. As insureds demonstrate a renewed willingness to pay for coverage certainty, we believe our differentiated underwriting approach, targeted market strategies and disciplined execution will enable Ategrity to continue gaining market share while delivering sustainable, profitable growth.” __________________ 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.

Investment results The following tables summarize net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains on investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Investment income Fixed-maturity securities $ 8,846 $ 6,460 $ 17,201 $ 12,725 Short-term investments 1,939 1,154 3,568 1,724 Cash equivalents 290 475 705 911 Loans to affiliates 1,524 1,543 3,053 1,793 Total fixed income 12,599 9,632 24,527 17,153 Utility & Infrastructure Investments 210 2,422 452 2,931 Other expenses (147 ) (163 ) (275 ) (298 ) Net investment income $ 12,662 $ 11,891 $ 24,704 $ 19,786 Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments $ 18,591 $ 1,409 $ 28,056 $ (3,190 ) 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, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to income before income taxes as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Income before income taxes $ 46,439 $ 22,330 $ 80,668 $ 33,020 Less: Net investment income (12,662 ) (11,891 ) (24,704 ) (19,786 ) Net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on investments (18,591 ) (1,409 ) (28,056 ) 3,190 Other income (24 ) (28 ) (48 ) (993 ) Add: Interest expense 4 447 8 894 Other expenses 872 161 1,444 399 Underwriting income $ 16,038 $ 9,610 $ 29,312 $ 16,724 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 six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to net income attributable to stockholders as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income attributable to stockholders $ 33,451 $ 17,622 $ 58,917 $ 26,083 Adjustments: Other non-operating expenses(1) 119 298 291 401 Tax impact (25 ) (63 ) (61 ) (84 ) Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders $ 33,545 $ 17,857 $ 59,147 $ 26,400 (1) In the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 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 six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to return on stockholders’ equity as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands, except percentages) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Numerator: Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, annualized (1) $ 134,180 $ 71,428 $ 118,294 $ 52,800 Denominator: Average stockholders’ equity 647,709 493,253 639,352 478,998 Adjusted return on stockholders' equity 20.7 % 14.5 % 18.5 % 11.0 % (1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to diluted earnings per share as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands, except share and per share data) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Numerator: Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders $ 33,545 $ 17,857 $ 59,147 $ 26,400 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 49,864,919 43,584,999 49,839,370 42,246,997 Adjusted diluted earnings per share $ 0.67 $ 0.41 $ 1.19 $ 0.62 Conference Call Ategrity will hold a conference call to discuss this press release today, July 29, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
