Exhibit 99.1
Pre-Tax Income of $115 Million
Diluted EPS of $5.45
Gross Loss Ratio of 20.1%
Tampa, Fla. – May 6, 2026 – HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE:HCI), reported pre-tax income of $115 million and net income of $85 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with pre-tax income of $100 million and net income of $74 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net income after noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of 2026 was $73 million compared with $70 million in the first quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share were $5.45 in the first quarter of 2026 compared with $5.35 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2025.
Management Commentary
“HCI Group had an excellent start to 2026, delivering record first quarter results for earned premiums, net income and earnings per share,” said HCI Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paresh Patel. “Moving forward, we plan to continue using our earnings to buy back stock while strengthening our balance sheet as we prepare for the next transformational opportunity.”
First Quarter 2026 Results
Gross premiums earned in the first quarter of 2026 were $326 million compared with $300 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a higher volume of insurance policies in force.
Premiums ceded for reinsurance in the first quarter of 2026 were $104 million compared with $100 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a higher volume of insurance policies in force.
Net investment income in the first quarter of 2026 was $17 million compared with $14 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by growth in invested assets.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $66 million compared with $59 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a higher volume of policies in force as well as some weather in the Northeast. The gross loss and loss adjustment expense ratio for the first quarter of 2026 was 20.1%.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $32 million compared with $27 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a greater amount of premiums in force.
Share Repurchase
On March 3, 2026, HCI Group announced a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $80 million of shares of HCI common stock through February 27, 2027. In the first quarter of 2026, HCI Group repurchased 110,071 shares for $17.5 million. As of April 30, 2026, HCI Group repurchased a total of 239,435 shares for $37.5 million under the new program.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "confident," "prospects" and "project" and other similar words and expressions are intended to signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions, but rather are subject to various risks and uncertainties. For example, the estimation of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses is an inherently imprecise process involving many assumptions and considerable management judgment. Further, future cash flow and earnings may limit HCI’s ability or willingness to engage in share buybacks. Some of these risks and uncertainties are identified in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on the company's business, financial condition and results of operations. HCI Group, Inc. disclaims all obligations to update any forward-looking statements.
