Management Commentary
“HCI Group capped a strong start to the year delivering record second quarter financial results for the first half of 2026,” said HCI Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paresh Patel. “Our focus continues to be on achieving exceptional performance in all types of operating environments.”
Second Quarter 2026 Results
Gross premiums earned in the second quarter of 2026 were $321 million compared with $303 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase of 6% was driven by a higher volume of insurance policies in force while average premium per policy remained relatively consistent.
Premiums ceded for reinsurance in the second quarter of 2026 were $102 million compared with $103 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was a result of the lower costs associated with the company’s new 2026-2027 catastrophe reinsurance programs, which began on June 1, 2026.
Net investment income in the second quarter of 2026 was $19 million compared with $16 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by growth in invested assets.
Other revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $5 million compared with $3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the addition of new insurance carrier customers to Exzeo's insurance technology platform.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were $71 million compared with $64 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven largely by a higher volume of policies in force. The gross loss and loss adjustment expense ratio for the second quarter of 2026 was 22.2%.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were $32 million compared with $31 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a greater amount of premiums in force.
General and administrative personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were $24 million compared with $20 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by additional personnel, annual merit increases, and stock-based compensation.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, HCI Group reported pre-tax income of $226 million and net income of $168 million compared with pre-tax income of $195 million and net income of $145 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net income after noncontrolling interests was $147 million compared with $136 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Diluted earnings per share were $11.05 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $10.57 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Gross premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $647 million compared with $603 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of 7% was driven by a higher volume of insurance policies in force while average premium per policy remained relatively consistent.
Premiums ceded for reinsurance for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $206 million compared with $202 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was a result of a higher number of policies in force and partially offset by the company’s new 2026-2027 catastrophe reinsurance programs, which started on June 1, 2026.
Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $36 million compared with $30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by growth in invested assets.
Other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $8 million compared with $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the addition of new insurance carrier customers to Exzeo's insurance technology platform.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $137 million compared with $124 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was largely driven by a higher volume of policies in force. The gross loss and loss adjustment expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 21.1%.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $64 million compared with $58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by a greater amount of premiums in force.
General and administrative personnel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $46 million compared with $40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by additional personnel, annual merit increases, and stock-based compensation.
