FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) or in documents incorporated by reference that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements, expectations or beliefs regarding: (i) our core strategy and ability to fully execute our business plan; (ii) our growth, including by geographic expansion, new lines of business, additional policies and new products and services, competitive strengths, proprietary capabilities, processes and new technology, results of operations and liquidity; (iii) strategic initiatives and their impact on shareholder value; (iv) projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results and future economic performance; (v) management’s goals and objectives, including intentions to pursue certain business and the handling of certain claims; (vi) updated accounting guidance and its impact on disclosure; (vii) potential for rising costs of materials and labor; (ix) assumptions underlying our accounting policies and estimates; (x) assumptions underlying statements regarding us and our business; (xi) the impact of legislation; (xii) claims and related expenses, and our reinsurers’ obligations; (xiii) pending legal proceedings and their effect on our financial position; (xiv) effects of updated claims, policy, and billing systems; and (xv) other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included throughout this filing and particularly in Item 1A: "Risk Factors" set forth in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision to any such forward-looking statement, except as may otherwise be required by law.
These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and market in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:
•the possibility that actual losses may exceed reserves, which are based on estimates;
•the concentration of our business in coastal states, which could be impacted by hurricane losses or other significant weather-related events such as northeastern winter storms;
•our exposure to catastrophic weather-related events, including hurricanes and wildfires;
•our failure to adequately assess and price the risks we underwrite;
•the fluctuation in our results of operations, including as a result of factors outside of our control;
•increased costs of reinsurance, non-availability of reinsurance, non-collectability of reinsurance and our ability to obtain reinsurance on terms and at a cost acceptable to us;
•inherent uncertainty of our models and our reliance on such models as a tool to evaluate risk;
•increased competition, competitive pressures, industry developments and market conditions;
•continued and increased impact of abusive and unwarranted claims;
•our inability to effectively manage our growth and integrate acquired companies;
•our failure to execute our diversification strategy;
•our reliance on independent agents to write insurance policies for us on a voluntary basis and our ability to attract and retain agents;
•the failure of our claims department to effectively manage or remediate claims;
•the failure of policy renewals to meet our expectations;
•our inability to maintain our financial stability rating;
•our ability to access sufficient liquidity or obtain additional financing to fund our operations and expand our business;
•our inability to generate investment income;
•effects of emerging claim and coverage issues relating to legal, judicial, environmental and social conditions;
•the failure of our risk mitigation strategies or loss limitation methods;
•lack of effectiveness of exclusions and loss limitation methods in the insurance policies we assume or write;
•the regulation of our insurance operations;
•changes in regulations and our failure to meet increased regulatory requirements, including minimum capital and surplus requirements;
•climate change, health crisis, severe weather conditions and other catastrophe events;
•litigation or regulatory actions;
•regulation limiting rate increases or that require us to participate in loss sharing or assessments;
•the terms of our indebtedness, including restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business, and our inability to comply with the financial and other covenants of our debt facilities;
•our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting;
•certain characteristics of our common stock;
•failure of our information technology systems or those of our key service providers and unsuccessful development and implementation of new technologies;
•a lack of redundancy in our operations; and
•our failure to attract and retain qualified employees and independent agents or our loss of key personnel.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrences of anticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025
On July 4, 2025, new U.S. tax legislation was signed into law (known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or “OBBBA”) which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation but does not expect it to have a material impact on the results of operations.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Segment Information
Nature of Operations
The Company's results are reported as a single operating and reportable segment - residential property insurance. Operating segments represent components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. For more information regarding the Company's nature of operations, refer to Note 22. "Segment Information" in addition to the "Business Segment" section of Note 1. "Basis of Presentation, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies and Practices" to the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Accounting Pronouncements adopted
Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2023-09. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”) Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update enhances income tax disclosures by requiring public entities to report income tax expense disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, with further detail on specific jurisdictions over a quantitative threshold. In addition, public entities must also separately disclose reconciling items equal to or greater than five percent of pretax income from operations by the applicable federal statutory rate. The Company has adopted this guidance on a prospective basis for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2025 and will result in enhanced income tax disclosures beginning with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted
Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2025-06. On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued updated guidance under ASC 350-40 on the accounting for internal-use software costs. The updated guidance removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods and allows for the application of iterative software development methods such as agile. The updated guidance requires that an entity capitalize software costs when both: 1) management has authorized and committed to the funding of the software project, and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform its intended function. Additionally, the updated guidance clarifies that internal and external training costs and maintenance costs must be expensed as incurred.
8
The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2028, and can be applied on a prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
ASU 2025-01 and 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expenses, such as employee compensation and depreciation, for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The ASU also requires disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2025-01 amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03, clarifying that "public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027." In addition, early adoption of the ASU is permitted. The Company is evaluating the guidance impact on the current presentation of the Company's income statement and expects the adoption to result in additional disclosures for certain expenses.

The Company’s unrealized losses on debt securities have not been recognized in earnings because the securities are of a high credit quality with investment grade ratings. After reviewing the Company's portfolio, if (i) the Company does not have the intent to sell, or (ii) it is more likely than not it will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, then the Company's intent is to hold the investment securities to recovery, or maturity if necessary to recover the decline in valuation as prices accrete to par. However, the Company's intent may change prior to maturity due to certain types of events, which include, but are not limited to, changes in the financial markets, the Company's analysis of an issuer’s credit metrics and prospects, changes in tax laws or the regulatory environment, or as a result of significant unforeseen changes in liquidity needs. As such, the Company may, from time to time, sell invested assets subsequent to the balance sheet date that it did not intend to sell at the balance sheet date. Conversely, the
11
Company may not sell invested assets that the Company asserted it intended to sell at the balance sheet date. Such changes in intent are due to unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date.
The Company evaluated the available for sale investments that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2025 and determined that the unrealized losses were caused by rising interest rates in previous periods, resulting in no credit loss allowance recorded during the periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Other Investments
Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)
The Company makes passive investments in limited partnerships (“LPs”), which is accounted for using the equity method, with income reported in net realized and unrealized gains and losses. The Company also makes passive investments in a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), which are accounted for using the measurement alternative method, which is reported at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus changes from observable price changes, as described in the table below.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and maximum loss exposure of the Company’s non-consolidated VIEs at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands), respectively:
| As of September 30, 2025 | As of December 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total non-consolidated VIEs | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying amounts reported as “other investments” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. No agreements exist requiring the Company to provide additional funding to any of the non-consolidated VIEs in excess of the Company’s initial investment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received $4.5 million as the full return from a preferred interest investment prior to the maturity date.
NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Company is required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets/liabilities as of the reporting date.
•Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities at the measurement date; quoted prices in the markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2, and 3.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company assesses the levels for the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitions of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The tables below present the balances of the Company’s invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Financial Instruments excluded from the fair value hierarchy
The carrying value of premium receivables, accounts payable, accrued expense, revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility approximate their fair value. The rate at which revolving loans and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility bear interest resets periodically at market interest rates.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

NOTE 5. LEASES
The Company has entered into operating and financing leases primarily for real estate and vehicles. The Company will determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception of the agreement. The operating leases have terms of to ten years , and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from to ten years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company considers these options in determining the lease term used in establishing the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease obligations. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Because the rate implicit in each operating lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine present value of the lease payments. The Company used the implicit rates within the finance leases.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company capitalized an additional $5.3 million of internal-use software development for the new policy, billing, and claims system. The Company is incurring additional costs as the Company continues to add new capabilities and products to the system which will be capitalized as appropriate. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company began the development to incorporate the Company's commercial products into the system, and the Company estimates completion of the development and full integration by the end of 2026. Once placed in service, the Company amortizes the capitalized internally developed software costs over the estimated useful life of 7 years, on a straight-line basis.
Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment was approximately $2.1 million and $696,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment was approximately $4.5 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On July 23, 2025, the Company sold its real estate consisting of 13 acres of land, two buildings and a parking garage for $16.0 million less fees and commission of $674,640 . The Company recognized a net gain of approximately $2.7 million from the sale and reported the transaction within the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations in net realized gains on debt securities and other investments. As part of the sale consideration, the buyer issued a promissory note to the Company for $11.0 million with a maturity date on January 23, 2026, which note accrues interest at a rate of 7 % per annum and under which the buyer agreed to make regularly scheduled monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, commencing on August 1, 2025.

NOTE 9. DEFERRED REINSURANCE CEDING COMMISSION
The Company defers ceding commission earned in connection with its quota share reinsurance contracts, which is earned subject to the terms of the reinsurance agreements. Ceding commission on quota share agreements generally includes a provisional ceding rate, subject to sliding scale adjustments based on the loss experience of the reinsurers. Adjustments to estimated ceding commission income are reflected in current operations. The Company allocates 75 % of ceding commission income to policy acquisition costs and 25 % of ceding commission income to general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company allocated ceding commission income of $12.7 million and $8.9 million to policy acquisition costs, respectively, and $4.2 million and $3.2 million to general and administrative expense, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company allocated ceding commission income of $37.5 million and $27.6 million to policy acquisition costs, respectively and $12.4 million and $9.3 million to general and administrative expense, respectively.
The table below depicts the activity regarding deferred reinsurance ceding commission during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Deferred ceding commission income is recorded as an offset to deferred policy acquisition costs in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
NOTE 10. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
The Company defers certain costs in connection with written policies, called deferred policy acquisition costs (“DPAC”), which are amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies. As described in Note 9. Deferred Reinsurance Ceding Commission, the Company records provisional ceding commission that it receives in connection with the Company's reinsurance contracts as an offset to deferred policy acquisition costs. Therefore, deferred policy acquisition costs are presented net of deferred reinsurance ceding commission.
The Company anticipates that its DPAC will be fully recoverable in the near term. The table below depicts the activity regarding DPAC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $17.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which corresponds to effective rates of 26.2 % and 9.4 %, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $42.4 million and $12.5 million, respectively, which corresponds to effective tax rates of 24.7 % and 23.2 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first three quarters of 2025 was higher than the effective tax rate for the first three quarters of 2024, largely driven by higher projected pre-tax income for the year 2025 compared to the projection for the year 2024. This had a dilutive effect on the rate impacts of permanent tax differences compared to the prior year tax provisions.

The Company has recorded its deferred tax assets and liabilities using the statutory federal tax rate of 21%. The Company believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be recovered, given the carry back availability as well as the result of future operations, which the Company believes will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset.
The statute of limitations related to the Company’s federal and state income tax returns remains open from the Company’s filings for 2021 through 2024. There are currently no tax years under examination.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no
NOTE 12. REINSURANCE
Overview
In order to limit the Company’s potential exposure to individual risks and catastrophic events, the Company purchases significant reinsurance from third party reinsurers. Purchasing reinsurance is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy, and premiums ceded to reinsurers is one of the Company’s largest costs. The Company has strong relationships with reinsurers, which it attributes to its management’s industry experience, disciplined underwriting, and claims management capabilities. For each of the twelve months beginning June 1, 2025 and 2024, the Company purchased catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance from the following sources: (i) the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a state-mandated catastrophe fund (“FHCF”) which provides reinsurance for Florida personal residential and commercial residential admitted policies only, (ii) private reinsurers, all of which were rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) or were fully collateralized, and (iii) the Company’s wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Osprey Re Ltd. (“Osprey”). The Company also sponsored catastrophe bonds in 2025 and 2024 through Citrus Re Ltd. In addition to purchasing excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance, the Company also purchases quota share, property per risk and facultative reinsurance from reinsurers who are either rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best or were fully collateralized. The Company’s quota share program limits its exposure on catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and provides ceding commission income. The Company’s per risk programs limit its net exposure in the event of a severe non-catastrophe loss impacting a single location or risk. The Company also utilizes facultative reinsurance to supplement its per risk reinsurance program where the Company’s capacity needs dictate.
Purchasing a sufficient amount of reinsurance to cover catastrophic losses from single or multiple events or significant non-catastrophe losses is an important part of the Company’s risk strategy. Reinsurance involves transferring, or “ceding”, a portion of the risk exposure on policies the Company writes to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that the Company’s reinsurers are
19
unable to meet the obligations they assume under the Company’s reinsurance agreements, the Company remains liable for the entire insured loss.
The Company’s state insurance regulators require the Company, like all insurance companies, to have a certain amount of capital and reinsurance coverage in order to cover losses and loss adjustment expenses upon the occurrence of a catastrophic event. The Company’s reinsurance program provides reinsurance in excess of its state regulator requirements, which are generally based on the probable maximum loss that it would incur from an individual catastrophic event estimated to occur once in every 100 years based on its portfolio of insured risks. The nature, severity and location of the event giving rise to such a probable maximum loss differs for each insurer depending on the insurer’s portfolio of insured risks, including, among other things, the geographic concentration of insured value within such portfolio. As a result, a particular catastrophic event could be a one-in-100-year loss event for one insurance company while having a greater or lesser probability of occurrence for another insurance company. The Company also purchases reinsurance coverage to protect against the potential for multiple catastrophic events occurring in the same year. The Company shares portions of its reinsurance program coverage among its insurance company affiliates.
2025 - 2026 Reinsurance Program
Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance
Effective June 1, 2025, the Company entered into catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements for 2025-2026 covering Heritage Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“Heritage P&C”), Zephyr Insurance Company (“Zephyr”) and Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (“NBIC”). As described above, the catastrophe reinsurance programs are allocated among traditional reinsurers, Citrus Re and Osprey Re. The FHCF covers Florida admitted market risks only and the Company elected to participate at 90.0 % for the 2025 hurricane season. The Company's affiliate, Osprey Re, will provide reinsurance for a portion of the Heritage P&C, NBIC and Zephyr programs. The Company’s third-party reinsurers are either rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best or S&P or are fully collateralized, to reduce credit risk. Osprey Re and Citrus Re are fully collateralized programs.
The reinsurance program, which is segmented into layers of coverage, protects the Company for excess property catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses. The 2025-2026 reinsurance program provides first event coverage up to $1.6 billion for Heritage P&C, first event coverage up to $1.1 billion for NBIC, and first event coverage up to $865.0 million for Zephyr. The Company’s first event retention in a 1 in 100-year event would include retention for the respective insurance company as well as any retention by Osprey. The first event maximum retention up to a 1 in 100-year event for each insurance company subsidiary is as follows: Heritage P&C – $50.0 million, of which $50.0 million would be ceded to Osprey in a shared contract with NBIC and Zephyr; NBIC – $39.3 million of which the entire amount would be ceded to Osprey in a shared contract with Heritage P&C and Zephyr; and Zephyr — $50.0 million, of which $50 million would be ceded to Osprey in a shared contract with Heritage P&C and NBIC.
The Company is responsible for all losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of the Company's reinsurance program. For second or subsequent catastrophic events, the Company’s total available coverage depends on the magnitude of the first event, as the Company may have coverage remaining from layers that were not previously fully exhausted. An aggregate of $3.75 billion of limit is available in 2025, which includes reinstatement through the purchase of reinstatement premium protection. The amount of coverage, however, will be subject to the severity and frequency of such events.
Additionally, on December 31, 2024, the Company placed occurrence contracts for business underwritten by NBIC which covers all catastrophe losses excluding named storms which contracts expire December 31, 2025. One contract which is 55% placed has a $15.0 million limit in excess of a retention of $25.0 million while another contract provides the remaining 45% with a $20.0 million limit in excess of a retention of $20.0 million. Each contract has one reinstatement available.
Net Quota Share Reinsurance
The Company’s Net Quota Share coverage is proportional reinsurance, which applies to business underwritten by NBIC, for which certain of the Company’s other reinsurance (property catastrophe excess of loss and general excess of loss) inures to the quota share program. The amount and rate of ceding commissions slide, within a prescribed minimum and maximum, depending on loss performance. The Net Quota program has a term of one year. The Net Quota Share program which renewed on December 31, 2023 ceded 41 % of the net premiums, with an occurrence limit of $20.0 million for catastrophe losses, subject to certain aggregate loss limits that vary by reinsurer. The Net Quota Share program which renewed on December 31, 2024 ceded 46.0 % of the net premiums, with an occurrence limit of $20.0 -$25.0 million for catastrophe losses is in effect on the current year quota share program, subject to certain aggregate loss limits that vary by reinsurer.
Per Risk Coverage
For losses arising from business underwritten by Heritage P&C, losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, and southeastern U.S. surplus lines business underwritten by NBIC, excluding losses from named storms, the Company purchased property per risk coverage. For the contract period from June 15, 2024 through June 30, 2025, which was 100 % placed, the
20
program covered losses and loss adjustment expenses in excess of $1.5 million per claim. The limit recoverable for an individual loss is $8.5 million and total limit for all losses is $25.5 million. There are two reinstatements available with additional premium due based on the amount of the layer exhausted. For losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, the Company also purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustments expenses in excess of $1.0 million per claim. The limit recovered for an individual loss is $500,000 and total limit for all losses is $1.5 million. This property per risk program was renewed for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, which was 100 % placed. Under this new program, the limit recoverable for an individual loss in excess of $2.0 million per claim is $8.0 million and total limit for all losses is $24.0 million. There are two reinstatements available with additional premium due based on the amount of the layer exhausted. For losses arising from commercial residential business underwritten by NBIC, the Company also purchased property per risk coverage for losses and loss adjustments expenses in excess of $1 million per claim. The limit recovered for an individual loss is $1.0 million and total limit for all losses is $3.0 million.

Effect of Reinsurance
The Company’s reinsurance arrangements had the following effect on certain items in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

During each of the Company's June 2025 and March 2025 quarterly assessments of losses reserves, the ultimate catastrophe loss estimates for certain hurricane events were adjusted downward based upon loss development. The reduction in ultimate catastrophe losses reduced both the reserve for unpaid losses and the amount of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims by the same amount. The resultant change on a net basis was neutral because the losses were fully ceded under the Company's catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance coverage. This caused the ceded losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to be positive in the table above.
NOTE 13. RESERVE FOR UNPAID LOSSES
The Company determines the reserve for unpaid losses on an individual-case basis for all incidents reported. The liability also includes amounts which are commonly referred to as incurred but not reported, or “IBNR”, claims as of the balance sheet date. The
21
Company estimates its IBNR reserves by projecting its ultimate losses using industry accepted actuarial methods and then deducting actual loss payments and case reserves from the projected ultimate losses.
The table below summarizes the activity related to the Company’s reserve for unpaid losses:

| Balance, end of period | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company believes that the reserve for unpaid losses reasonably represents the amount necessary to pay all claims and related expenses which may arise from incidents that have occurred as of the balance sheet date.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company reported $314.9 million in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance which included $249.9 million attributable to IBNR net of reinsurance recoverable, or 79.4 % of net reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.
Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses includes expected reinsurance recoveries associated with reinsurance contracts the Company has in place. The amount may include recoveries from catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance, net quota share reinsurance, per risk reinsurance, and facultative reinsurance contracts.
NOTE 14. LONG-TERM DEBT

Senior Secured Credit Facility
On July 22, 2025, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with lenders from time to time party thereto and Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Prior Credit Agreement”).
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) increased the overall size of the senior secured credit facilities to an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million, consisting of (a) a revolving credit facility that continues to have an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million (inclusive of a $25.0 million sublimit for swingline loans), but with an extended maturity of July 2030 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (b) a term loan facility for an aggregate of $75 million principal amount outstanding as of the date of the Amended and Restated Agreement, with an extended maturity of July 2030 (the "Term Loan
22
Facility"), and (c) a $75 million committed delayed draw term loan that may be advanced to finance specified permitted acquisitions and investments, subject to satisfaction of conditions to borrowing and compliance with a specified consolidated leverage ratio, in up to five separate installments during the two year period following the effective date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a maturity of July 2030 (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), (ii) reduced the applicable margin for loans from (a) the prior range of 2.75 % to 3.25 % (plus the 0.10 % credit adjustment spread) to a range from 2.50 % to 3.00 % per annum for SOFR loans (and removes the 0.10 % SOFR credit adjustment spread) and (b) the prior range of 1.75 % to 2.25 % per annum for base rate loans to a range from 1.50 % to 2.00 %, in each case based on a consolidated leverage ratio ranging from less than or equal to 1-to-1 to greater than 1.5-to-1 and (iii) amended the terms of specified financial and negative covenants, which will generally allow the Company more flexibility, including to sell certain real estate assets located in Clearwater, Florida. All other material terms of the Prior Credit Agreement remain unchanged in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The net proceeds from the advance, along with cash on hand, were used to repay approximately $78 million in principal amount outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement, including to pay accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses in connection with the closing of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
As of September 30, 2025, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million, consisting of (1) the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million , (2) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million and (3) the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (inclusive of a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit equal to the unused amount of the revolving credit facility and a sublimit for swingline loans equal to the lesser of $25 million and the unused amount of the revolving credit facility) (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”).
Term Loan Facility. The principal amount of the term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement amortized in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1.9 million per quarter, payable quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021, and increasing to $2.4 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2022, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement was to mature on July 28, 2026 but was refinanced in full in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, there was $70.1 million in aggregate principal outstanding under the term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement and as of September 30, 2025, there was $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount under the Term Loan Facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amortizes in quarterly installments beginning with the close of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, in an amount equal to $937,500 per quarter, increasing to approximately $1.4 million commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2028 with the remaining balance payable at maturity in July 2030.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made principal payments of approximately $5.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, and interest payments of $7.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively, on the term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement.
Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $50 million inclusive of a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit equal to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and a sublimit for swingline loans equal to the lesser of $25 million and the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $10.0 10.0 million, which was repaid in connection with the Amendment and Restated Credit Agreement. During 2024, the Company secured letters of credit in aggregate of $24.4 million with a maturity date of March 16, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the letters of credit remained outstanding and there were no draws as of such date. The letters of credit were not drawn upon during the first quarter of 2025 and were cancelled effective on their maturity date of March 16, 2025. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no 626,832 on the revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement and $100,480 relating to unused availability commitment fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made interest payments in aggregate of approximately $406,641 on the Revolving Credit Facility and $281,657 relating to letters of credit and unused availability commitment fees.
At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at rates equal to either (1) a rate determined by reference to SOFR, plus an applicable margin or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the “prime rate” of Regions Bank, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 %, and (c) the adjusted term SOFR in effect on such day for an interest period of one month plus 1.00 %, plus an applicable margin.
At September 30, 2025, the effective interest rate for the Term Loan Facility was 6.816 %. The Company monitors the rates prior to the reset date which allows it to establish if the payment is monthly or quarterly payment based on the most beneficial rate used to calculate the interest payment.

On April 15, 2025, the Company awarded 9,000 shares of time-based restricted stock, with a fair value at the time of grant of $17.30 per share under the 2023 Plan to certain employees. The time-based restricted stock will fully vest on December 15, 2025.
On March 11, 2025, the Company awarded an aggregate of 99,246 shares of time-based restricted stock and 285,985 shares of performance-based restricted stock, with a fair value at the time of grant of $11.88 three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2027 and will vest following the end of the performance period but no later than March 31, 2028.
On January 10, 2025, the Company awarded 1,000 shares of time-based restricted stock, with a fair value at the time of grant of $10.86
In January 2025, the Company evaluated the restricted stock performance criteria and determined that based on the Company’s results measured against the performance conditions under the awards, the maximum percentage would most likely be met by each of the recipients at the end of the vesting period for the 2024 awards, which were issued at target. Therefore, additional shares of restricted stock are expected to be earned upon vesting and beginning the first quarter of 2025, the Company began to recognize stock-based compensation on the additional 217,877 shares of performance-based restricted stock, as a result of the expected maximum achievement of the performance conditions under the awards.
In June 2024, the Company awarded to non-employee directors an aggregate of 39,312 shares of restricted stock with a fair value at the time of grant of $8.14 per share. The restricted stock vested on June 10, 2025, the date of the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders.
In March 2024, the Company awarded an aggregate of 8,390 shares of time-based restricted stock, with a fair value at the time of grant of $7.15 per share to certain employees. The time-based restricted stock fully vested on December 15, 2024.
On February 26, 2024, the Company awarded an aggregate of 163,640 shares of time-based restricted stock and an aggregate of 253,918 shares of performance-based restricted stock, with a fair value at the time of grant of $7.02 three equal installments commencing on December 15, 2024. The performance based restricted stock has a three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2026 and will vest following the end of the performance period but no later than March 31, 2027.

For the shares of performance-based restricted stock that are issued at target, the number of shares that will be earned at the end of the performance period is subject to increase or decrease based on the results of the performance condition. However, for those issued at the maximum, the number of shares that will be earned at the end of the performance period is subject to decrease based on the results of the performance condition under the awards.
The 2023 Plan authorizes the Company to grant stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the dates the options are granted. The Company has not granted any stock options since 2015 and all unexercised stock options have since been forfeited.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (as amended, the “2024 Form 10-K”). Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this Form 10-Q, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”, “our Company”, and similar references refer to Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company that primarily provides personal and commercial residential insurance products across our multi-state footprint. We provide personal residential insurance in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia and commercial residential insurance in Florida, New Jersey, and New York. We provide personal residential insurance in Florida and South Carolina on both an admitted and non-admitted basis and in California on a non-admitted basis. As a vertically integrated insurer, we control or manage substantially all aspects of risk management, underwriting, claims processing and adjusting, actuarial rate making and reserving, customer service, and distribution. Our financial strength ratings are important to us in establishing our competitive position and can impact our ability to write policies.
Recent Developments
Economic and Market Factors
We continue to monitor the effects of general changes in economic and market conditions on our business. As a result of general inflationary pressures, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, increased cost of materials and labor needed for repairs and to otherwise remediate claims throughout all states in which we conduct business. We mitigate the impact of inflation by implementation of rate increases and the use of inflation guard, which ensures appropriate replacement cost values for our business to reflect the inflationary impact on costs to repair properties. Use of inflation guard impacts both premium and total insured value ("TIV"). To the extent that reinsurance costs rise, we may seek to recoup the cost of reinsurance in future rate filings as well as mitigate the cost through exposure management.
Supplemental Information
The Supplemental Information table below demonstrates the distribution of our portfolio by providing policy count, premiums-in-force, and TIV for Florida and all other states as of September 30, 2025 and comparing those metrics to September 30, 2024.

The policy count reduction from the prior year quarter of 9.4% was driven by exposure management goals associated with the profitability initiatives described below. The underwriting and rate adequacy objectives were met and given the Company's achievement of rate adequacy in a majority of our territories, the Company is expanding and open for new business in nearly all territories.
30
Strategic Profitability Initiatives
The Company has focused on three main strategic initiatives over the past few years aimed at achieving consistent, long-term quarterly earnings and driving shareholder value, which include:
•Generating underwriting profit through rate adequacy and more selective underwriting.
•Allocating capital to products and geographies that maximize long-term returns.
•Maintaining a balanced and diversified portfolio.
These three initiatives will remain in place while we also expand our strategy to include our 2025 initiatives.
Strategic Initiatives for 2025
•Re-opening profitable geographies and allocating capital to sustain profits and margins on a measured basis.
•Persistent underwriting discipline and focus on rate adequacy.
•Continued data driven analytics.
•Enhancing customer service and claims capabilities.
•Leveraging infrastructure and capabilities to foster future growth.
Trends
Inflation, Underwriting and Pricing
We address reinsurance and loss costs trends in the property insurance sector through rates and inflation guard factors which resulted in an increase in the average premium per policy of 11.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year quarter. The higher average premium is driven by rate changes, inclusion of inflation guard, and by the mix of business written. We experienced intentional growth of our commercial residential business during 2024, with in-force premium in that line of business decreasing during 2025, driven primarily by competitive market conditions. New rates, which are subject to approval by our regulators, become effective when a policy is written or renewed, and the premium is earned pro rata over the policy period of one year. As a result of this timing, it can take up to twenty-four months for the complete impact of a rate change to be fully earned in our financial statements. For that reason, we account for inflation in our rate indications and filings with our regulators.
We invest in data analytics, using software and experienced personnel, to continuously evaluate our underwriting criteria and manage exposure to catastrophe and other losses. Our retention has remained steady in the range of near 90%,which we believe is driven in large part due to our strong agency relationships and focus on policyholder service level. While we believe our rates are generally competitive with private market insurers operating in our space, we are focused on maintaining rate adequacy throughout our book of business as we continue to prudently grow our business.
We continue to experience rising inflation in the form of increased labor and material costs, which drive up claim costs throughout all states in which we conduct business. However, inflation is increasing at a lower rate than what we have experienced in the last several years. We will make adjustment for increasing or decreasing inflation as we see fluctuations. Florida personal lines claim costs associated with litigated claims have decreased over the last several years due to favorable legislation aimed to curtail claims abuse. The special legislative session of December 2022 included a number of additional provisions aimed at driving down claims abuses and stabilizing the Florida property insurance market. The legislation appears to have achieved its intended impact and has improved our outlook on conducting business in Florida.
Our industry had experienced significantly higher reinsurance costs and more constrained availability for catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance in 2022 and 2023. For the 2024 hurricane season, the supply of catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance for the Company was ample and pricing began to moderate. For the 2025 hurricane season, we observed increased reinsurance supply at competitive pricing as the reinsurance market continues to stabilize and improve.

Overview of Financial Results
In the following section, we discuss our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows provides information that will assist the reader in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from quarter to quarter, including certain key performance indicators such as net combined ratio, ceded premium ratio, net expense ratio and net loss ratio, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
•Third quarter 2025 net income was $50.4 million or $1.63 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.2 million or $0.27 per diluted share in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a significant reduction in losses and loss adjustment expenses and a reduction in operating expenses. Rate changes and organic growth in select geographies resulted in growth of 6.4% in gross written premiums and 2.2% of gross premiums earned. Investment income was relatively flat despite a larger investment portfolio due to the interest rate environment. Losses and LAE decreased by 42.5% primarily from lower weather losses. Policy acquisition costs decreased 6.9%, driven by higher ceding commission which was partially offset by an increase in agent commissions driven by higher written premiums. General and administrative costs increased 3.6% driven primarily due to system related costs.
•Gross premiums written of $333.2 million were up 6.4% from $313.0 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting both rate actions and growth of new business as rate adequate territories were opened for new business. This was partly offset by a reduction in commercial residential business, driven by competitive market conditions.
•Gross premiums earned were $362.0 million, up 2.2% from $354.2 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher gross premiums written over the last twelve months primarily from rating actions.
•Net premiums earned were $195.1 million, down 1.9% from $198.8 million in the prior year quarter, driven by higher ceded premium in the quarter which offset higher gross premiums earned. The increase in ceded premiums is driven primarily by a $4.0 million reinstatement premium for Hurricane Ian and an increase in the northeast quota share program as premium subject to that program grew from the prior year quarter. This led to an increase in the ceded premium ratio to 46.1%, up 2.2 points from 43.9% in the prior year quarter.
•Net loss ratio decreased to 38.3%, a 27.1 point improvement from 65.4% in the same quarter last year, reflecting significantly lower net losses and LAE. Net weather losses for the current year quarter were $13.8 million, a decrease of $49.2 million from $63.0 million in the prior year quarter. There were no catastrophe losses in the current quarter compared to $48.7 million in the prior year quarter. The reduction in weather losses was coupled with favorable reserve development compared to the prior year quarter. Favorable net loss development was $5.0 million in the current year quarter compared to adverse development of $6.3 million in the prior year quarter.
•The net expense ratio was 34.6%, a 0.6 point improvement from the prior year quarter amount of 35.2%, driven primarily by a decrease in policy acquisition costs. The reduction in policy acquisition costs was driven primarily by higher ceding commission income associated with both a larger amount of premium ceded under the net quota share program and a higher ceding commission rate driven by favorable loss experience for that program. This resulted in a 1.2% reduction in policy acquisition costs which was partly offset by a 0.6 point increase in the net general and administrative expense ratio.
•Net combined ratio of 72.9% improved 27.7 points from 100.6% in the prior year quarter, driven by primarily by a lower net loss ratio as well as a lower net expense ratio as described above.
•Net investment income was $9.7 million, relatively flat from the prior year quarter, due to a lower interest rate environment for our sweep accounts and money market funds, despite higher invested assets. We continue to manage our investment portfolio, while maintaining a conservative portfolio with high quality investments and duration liability matched.
•The effective tax rate was 26.2% compared to 9.4% in the prior year quarter. We calculate the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The effective tax rate for the prior year quarter was favorably impacted by updated estimates used in the quarterly tax provision as well as the benefit of interest income on a previous year's income tax refund, which lowered income tax expense for the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate can fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in each quarterly tax provision are updated with additional information.

*NM - Not Meaningful
Total revenue
Total revenue was $212.5 million, a 0.3% improvement compared to $211.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from an increase in net realized gains on debt securities and other investments, which included a gain on the sale of investment property, net of costs and commission expenses as well as an increase in other revenue primarily related to fee income from our surplus lines business, which was offset by a slight decrease in net premiums earned.
Gross premiums written
Gross premiums written of $333.2 million grew 6.4% from $313.0 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting both rate actions and growth of new business as rate adequate territories were opened for new business. This was partly offset by a reduction in commercial residential business, driven by competitive market conditions.
Premiums-in-force were $1.44 billion as of third quarter 2025, an increase of 1.0% compared to $1.43 billion as of third quarter 2024, driven by rate actions taken while concurrently, TIV decreased by 2.2%.
Gross premiums earned
Gross premiums earned were $362.0 million, a 2.2% improvement from $354.2 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher gross premiums written over the last twelve months.
Ceded premiums
Ceded premiums were $167.0 million in third quarter 2025, up by 7.4% from $155.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in ceded premiums is driven primarily by a $4.0 million reinstatement premium for Hurricane Ian during the third quarter of 2025 and an increase in the northeast quota share program as premium subject to that program grew from the prior year quarter. The result was an increase in the ceded premium ratio to 46.1%, up 2.2 points from 43.9% in the prior year quarter. To the extent the ultimate losses for Hurricanes Ian or Milton change, reinstatement premiums will correspondingly change.
Net premiums earned
Net premiums earned were $195.1 million in third quarter 2025, down 1.9% from $198.8 million in the prior year quarter, driven by higher ceded premium in the quarter which offset higher gross premiums earned as described above.
Net investment income
Net investment income was $9.7 million in third quarter 2025, relatively flat from $9.8 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower yields on money market accounts in the current interest rate environment, despite higher invested asset balances. We continue to manage our investment portfolio, while maintaining a conservative portfolio with high quality investments and duration liability matched.

Total expenses
Total expenses were $142.3 million in third quarter 2025, a 28.9% improvement compared to $200.1 million in the prior year quarter. As described below, losses and LAE declined, policy acquisition costs declined, and general and administrative expenses increased.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE")
Losses and LAE incurred were $74.8 million in third quarter 2025, a 42.5% improvement from $130.0 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily stems from lower weather losses and favorable net loss development. We experienced no catastrophe losses during the third quarter of 2025 as compared to $48.7 million in the prior year quarter. Other weather losses were down to $13.8 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter amount of $14.3 million. Net favorable prior year loss development was $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to net unfavorable loss development of $6.3 million for the prior year quarter.
Policy acquisition costs
Policy acquisition costs were $45.2 million in third quarter 2025, a 6.9% improvement from $48.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease is primarily attributable to higher ceding commission earned on the net quota share reinsurance contract, the income of which offsets other policy acquisition costs. Higher ceding commission income was associated with both a larger amount of premium ceded under the net quota share program and a higher ceding commission rate driven by favorable loss experience for that program.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $22.3 million in third quarter 2025, up 3.6% from $21.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was driven largely by higher systems related costs.

Net income
Third quarter 2025 net income was $50.4 million or $1.63 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.2 million or $0.27 per diluted share in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a significant reduction in losses and LAE and a reduction in operating expenses. Losses and LAE decreased by 42.5%, driven primarily from lower weather losses and favorable net loss development. Policy acquisition costs decreased 6.9%, driven by an increase in ceding commission on the net quota share reinsurance contract, which offsets higher costs that vary with gross premiums written. General and administrative costs increased 3.6% driven primarily by systems costs, with the net general and administrative expense ratio 0.6 points higher than the prior year quarter.

Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, a $0.9 million decrease from $2.8 million for the prior year quarter, driven by the reduction in debt obligations and a lower interest rate environment.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $17.9 million in third quarter 2025 compared to $0.8 million in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate for the current year quarter was 26.2% compared to 9.4% in the prior year quarter. We calculate the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year.

Ceded premium ratio
The ceded premium ratio was 46.1% in third quarter 2025, up 2.2 point from 43.9% in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a $4.0 million reinstatement premium related to Hurricane Ian and higher ceded premium on the net quota share contract driven by growth in premiums associated with that contract.
Net loss and LAE ratio
The net loss and LAE ratio was 38.3% in third quarter 2025, a 27.1 point improvement from 65.4% in the prior year quarter, reflecting a significant decrease in net losses and LAE as described above.
Net expense ratio
The net expense ratio was 34.6%, a 0.6 point improvement from the prior year quarter amount of 35.2%, primarily driven by higher ceding commission income which lowered the net policy acquisition costs ratio. This was partly offset by a higher net general and administrative expense ratio.

Total revenue
Total revenue was $632.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a 4.2% improvement compared to $606.7 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from higher net premiums earned as described below.
Gross premiums written
Gross premiums written were $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a 0.5% improvement from $1.09 billion in the prior year period primarily reflecting rating actions and deployment of our managed growth initiative. Exposure management initiatives from prior years were completed. We experienced a reduction of written premium for commercial residential business, primarily driven by competitive market conditions.
Premiums-in-force were $1.44 billion as of third quarter 2025, a 1.0% improvement compared to $1.43 billion as of third quarter 2024, driven by rate actions taken, use of inflation guard, and growth in new business written, while concurrently, TIV decreased by 2.2%.
Gross premiums earned
Gross premiums earned were $1.07 billion for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 2.3% improvement from $1.05 billion in the prior year period. Rating actions and use of inflation guard contributed to this increase, which was partly offset by reductions in the southeast associated with previous exposure management actions and a reduction for the commercial residential business driven by competitive market condition.
Ceded premiums
Ceded premiums were $477.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, up 0.2% from $477.1 million in the prior year period. The increase relates primarily to the net quota share program where subject premium for 2025 was higher than subject premium for 2024, thereby driving up ceded premium in 2025. The increase associated with the net quota share program was partly offset by lower reinstatement premium for Hurricane Ian. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total reinstatement premium was $2.6 million compared to $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. To the extent the ultimate losses for Hurricanes Ian or Milton change, reinstatement premiums may correspondingly fluctuate.
Net premiums earned
Net premiums earned were $591.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 4.0% improvement from $568.6 million in the prior year period. The increase primarily stems from growth in gross premiums earned as described above.
Net investment income
Net investment income was $27.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, down 2.9% from $28.1 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by lower yields on money market and our bank sweep accounts in the current interest rate environment.

Total expenses
Total expenses were $454.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 16.5% improvement compared to $544.6 million in the prior year period. As described below, losses and LAE declined, policy acquisition costs declined, and general and administrative expenses increased.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE")
Losses and LAE incurred were $249.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 26.1% improvement from $338.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease primarily stems from lower weather and attritional losses and favorable net loss development. Net weather and catastrophe losses for the accident period ended September 30, 2025 were $69.8 million, a decrease from $101.1 million in the prior year period. There were no catastrophe losses in the current year period compared to $48.7 million in the prior year period. Other weather losses totaled $69.8 million, an increase from the prior year period amount of $52.4 million. Net favorable prior year loss development was $15.1 million for the nine months of 2025 compared to net unfavorable loss development of $21.6 million for the prior year period.
Policy acquisition costs
Policy acquisition costs were $134.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 6.0% improvement from $142.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to higher ceding commission earned on the net quota share reinsurance contract, the income of which offsets other policy acquisition costs. The increase in ceding commission income is due to changes in the program which incepted December 31, 2024 and included a higher ceded rate as well as more written premium applicable to the program as well as a higher ceding commission rate driven by favorable loss experience for that program.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $70.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, up 10.3% from $64.0 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven largely by human capital costs, and higher costs related to software and associated costs with the implementation of a new claims, billing and policy system, and higher regulatory costs, which were partly offset by higher ceding commission and certain lower costs associated with non-recurring 2024 expenses such as insurance and systems consulting costs. The policy, billing and claims system was placed in service on a pilot basis late in the third quarter of 2024. Certain costs associated with the system are currently being capitalized as development is still in progress and the previously capitalized costs are now being amortized, which drives up general and administrative expenses. The Company’s implementation of enhanced and updated claims, policy, and billing systems is expected to achieve efficiencies, enhance customer service, and improve the timeliness and quality of data analytics used to drive underwriting income.

Net income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 net income was $128.9 million or $4.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $41.2 million or $1.35 per diluted share in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher net premiums earned, a gain on the sale of investment property, a significant decrease in losses and LAE, and lower operating expenses. The improvement in net income is attributable to the positive impact of rate actions, underwriting actions, and exposure management taken during the last several years, which favorably impacted results for the period ended September 30, 2025. These actions resulted in growth of 4.0% in net premiums earned, with a 26.1% decrease in net losses and LAE, as described above. Policy acquisition costs decreased 6.0%, primarily related to an increase in ceding commission income on the net quota share reinsurance contracts. General and administrative costs increased 10.3% driven primarily by costs associated with software, including a new claims, billing and policy system as well as an increase in certain human capital costs as described above.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net was $6.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 26.4% compared to $8.4 million for the prior year period, The decrease was attributed to the impact from the reduction of debt obligations accompanied with a lower interest rate environment.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $42.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to $12.5 million in the prior year period, with the higher income tax provision in the current period driven by higher pre-tax earnings compared to the prior year period, coupled with a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the current year period was 24.7% compared to 23.2% in the prior year period. We calculate the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The effective tax rate for the prior year period was favorably impacted by updated estimates used in the quarterly tax provision as well as the benefit of interest income on a previous year's income tax refund, which lowered income tax expense for the period. The effective tax rate can fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in each quarterly tax provision are updated with additional information.

Net combined ratio
The net combined ratio was 76.8% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, an 18.9 point improvement from 95.7% in the prior year period. The decrease primarily stems from a lower net loss and LAE ratio and lower net expense ratio as described below.
38
Ceded premium ratio
The ceded premium ratio was 44.7% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 0.9 point improvement from 45.6% in the prior year period, primarily driven by growth in gross premiums earned as well as slightly lower reinsurance costs, as described above.
Net loss and LAE ratio
The net loss and LAE ratio was 42.2% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 17.2 point improvement from 59.4% in the prior year period, reflecting higher net premiums earned, coupled with a decrease in net losses and LAE as described above.
Net expense ratio
The net expense ratio was 34.6% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, a 1.7 point improvement from the prior year period amount of 36.3%, primarily driven by growth in net premiums earned which, coupled with higher ceding commission income, lowered the net policy acquisition costs ratio and was partly offset by a higher net general and administrative expense ratio.
Financial Condition – September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents increased by $107.8 million to $560.4 million from $452.7 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily a result of net cash provided by operations, which was held in money market funds for liquidity.
Fixed Maturity Securities
At September 30, 2025, fixed income securities increased by $45.3 million to $700.8 million from $655.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase primarily relates to purchases of fixed income securities in longer duration to lock in interest rates.
Reinsurance Recoverable on Paid and Unpaid Claims
At September 30, 2025, reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid claims decreased by $360.7 million to $379.5 million from $740.2 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by reinsurance reimbursements collected during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily associated with claims payments for Hurricanes Ian and Milton as well as a reduction in ultimate losses for certain catastrophic events which reduced reinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims as claims developed favorably during 2025.
Prepaid Reinsurance Premiums
At September 30, 2025, prepaid reinsurance premium increased by $116.3 million to $426.1 million from $309.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase is driven by the June 1, 2025 inception of our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program which represents prospective contracts. We record an asset, prepaid reinsurance premiums, and a liability, reinsurance payable, for the entire contract amount upon commencement of these reinsurance agreements, which drove up prepaid reinsurance premiums at September 30, 2025.
Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
At September 30, 2025, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased by $393.3 million to $649.6 million from $1.04 billion at December 31, 2024. This amount represents unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses excluding any reinsurance recoveries. The decrease was primarily due to payment of claims for Hurricanes Milton and Ian during the nine months ended 2025, as well as a reduction in ultimate losses for certain catastrophic events as claims developed favorably during 2025.
Reinsurance Payable
At September 30, 2025, reinsurance payable increased by $151.9 million to $378.9 million from $227.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase is driven by the June 1, 2025 inception of our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program as described above.
Long-term Debt
At September 30, 2025, long-term debt decreased by $37.1 million to $79.3 million from $116.3 million at December 31, 2024, driven by the payoff of a loan from the FHLB-ATL in March 2025 and the mortgage loan in July 2025 as well as quarterly principal payments on other long-term debt.
39
Total Shareholders’ Equity
At September 30, 2025, total shareholders’ equity increased by $146.5 million to $437.3 million from $290.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 as well as a benefit in accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by a reduction of unrealized losses during that period of 2025 in the amount of $15.7 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, our marketable securities balances and borrowings available under our Credit Facilities. As of September 30, 2025, we had $560.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $703.4 million in investments, compared to $452.7 million and $663.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. As described above, the increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of net cash provided by operations, which was held in money market funds for liquidity.
We generally hold substantial cash balances to meet seasonal liquidity needs including amounts to pay quarterly reinsurance installments as well as meet the collateral requirements of Osprey Re, our captive reinsurance company, which is required to maintain a collateral trust account equal to the risk that it assumes from our insurance company affiliates.
We believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
We may increase capital expenditures consistent with our investment plans and anticipated business strategies. Cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund such expenditures. As such, in addition to the use of our existing Credit Facilities, we may need to utilize additional debt to secure funds for such purposes.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $168.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $143.2 million for the comparable period in 2024. The increase in cash provided by operating activities relates primarily to timing of cash flows associated with premium collection, claim and reinsurance payments as well as reinsurance reimbursements during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $21.1 million as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $93.8 million for the comparable period in 2024. The change in cash used in investing activities relates primarily to timing of investment maturities and use of proceeds as well as availability of existing cash to invest in longer duration fixed income securities to lock in current interest rates, as well as proceeds from the sale of investment property, net of costs and commission expenses.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $37.2 million, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.8 million for the comparable period in 2024. The change in net cash from financing activities relates primarily to the repayments of the FHLB-ATL loan and the mortgage loan agreements for $19.2 million and $10.6 million during the first and third quarters of 2025, respectively, as well as purchases of treasury stock. In comparison, we reported $5.5 million of proceeds in the first quarter of 2024 from a FHLB Des Moines loan.

Credit Facilities
On July 22, 2025, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with lenders from time to time party thereto and Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Prior Credit Agreement”).
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million, consisting of (1) a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million with a maturity of July 2030 (the “Term Loan Facility”), (2) a $75 million committed delayed draw term loan that may be advanced to finance specified permitted acquisitions and investments with a maturity of July 2030 (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) and (3) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (inclusive of a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit equal to the unused amount of the revolving credit facility and a sublimit for swingline loans equal to the lesser of $25 million and the unused amount of the revolving credit facility) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).
Term Loan Facility. The principal amount of the term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement amortized in quarterly installments, which began with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1.9 million per quarter, payable quarterly, decreasing to $875,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2021, and increasing to $2.4 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2022, with the remaining balance payable at maturity, which was July 28, 2026, but was refinanced in full in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility amortizes in quarterly installments beginning with the close of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, in an amount equal to $937,500 per quarter, payable quarterly, and increasing to approximately $1.4 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2028, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. As amended, the Term Loan Facility matures on July 22, 2030. As of September 30, 2025, there was $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and as of December 31, 2024, there was $70.1 million in aggregate principal outstanding under the term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement.
Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $50 million inclusive of a sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit equal to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and a sublimit for swingline loans equal to the lesser of $25.0 million and the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement was $10.0 million, which amount was repaid in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. During 2024, the Company secured letters of credit in aggregate of $24.4 million with a maturity date of March 16, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the letters of credit remained outstanding and there were no draws as of such date. There were no draws on the letters of credit during 2025, which were cancelled effective on their maturity date of March 16, 2025. At July 22, 2025, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement was $10.0 million, which was repaid in connection with the Amendment and Restated Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding letters of credit issued from the Revolving Credit Facility.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities, as amended bear interest at rates equal to either (1) a rate determined by reference to SOFR, plus an applicable margin (described below) or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the “prime rate” of Regions Bank, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the adjusted term SOFR in effect on such day for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin (described below).
The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facilities, as amended, varies from 2.50% per annum to 3.00% per annum (for SOFR loans) and 1.50% to 2.00% per annum (for base rate loans) based on our consolidated leverage ratio ranging from less than or equal to 1-to-1 to greater than 1.5-to-1. Interest payments with respect to the Credit Facilities are required either on a quarterly basis (for base rate loans) or at the end of each interest period (for SOFR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months. As of September 30, 2025, the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were accruing interest at a rate of 6.816% per annum, respectively.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined by our consolidated leverage ratio.
We may prepay the loans under the Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions including minimum amounts and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of prepayments of SOFR loans. In addition, we are required to prepay the loan under the Term Loan Facility with the proceeds from certain financing transactions, involuntary dispositions or asset sales (subject, in the case of asset sales, to reinvestment rights).
All obligations under the Credit Facilities are or will be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, other than all of the Company’s current and future regulated insurance subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
41
The Company and the Guarantors are party to a Pledge and Security Agreement, (as amended from time to time the “Security Agreement”), in favor of a collateral agent. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and each Guarantor (subject to certain exceptions), including all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, other than its regulated insurance subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement contains, among other things, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain, as of each fiscal quarter (1) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, (2) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 and (3) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth for the Company and its subsidiaries, which is required to be not less than the sum of 75% of consolidated tangible net worth measured as of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 plus 25% of positive consolidated net income (including its subsidiaries and regulated subsidiaries) plus the net cash proceeds of any equity transactions. Events of default include, among other events, (i) nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; (ii) failure to perform or observe certain covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement; (iii) breach of any representation or warranty; (iv) cross-default to other indebtedness; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency defaults; (vi) monetary judgment defaults and material nonmonetary judgment defaults; (vii) customary ERISA defaults; (viii) a change of control of the Company; and (ix) failure to maintain specified catastrophe retentions in each of the Company’s regulated insurance subsidiaries or observe specified reinsurer concentration limits.
Convertible Notes
On August 10, 2017, the Company and Heritage MGA, LLC (the “Notes Guarantor”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the initial purchaser party thereto (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase, $136.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement transaction pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes, after deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $120.5 million. The offering of the Convertible Notes was completed on August 16, 2017.
The Company issued the Convertible Notes under an Indenture (the “Convertible Note Indenture”), dated August 16, 2017, by and among the Company, as issuer, the Notes Guarantor, as guarantor, the trustee party thereto (the “Trustee”).
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness or other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries other than the Notes Guarantor, which fully and unconditionally guarantee the Convertible Notes on a senior unsecured basis.
The Convertible Notes mature on August 1, 2037, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 1, 2037, other than during the period from, and including, February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2017, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes in effect on each applicable trading day; (2) during the ten consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for the Convertible Notes for each such trading day was less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
During the period from and including February 1, 2022 to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 5, 2022, and on or after February 1, 2037 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 1, 2037, holders may surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) (but not, at the Company’s election, a public acquirer change of control (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture)), holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal
42
to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
At any time prior to February 1, 2037, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Convertible Notes periodically. Holders of the Convertible Notes are able to cause the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes for cash on any of August 1, 2022, August 1, 2027 and August 1, 2032, in each case at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date.
The Convertible Note Indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Convertible Notes to be immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (as set forth in the Convertible Note Indenture) with respect to the Company, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Convertible Notes automatically become immediately due and payable.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $885,000 principal amount of outstanding Convertible Notes, net of $21.1 million of Convertible Notes held by an insurance company subsidiary.
FHLB Loan Agreements
In December 2018, a subsidiary of the Company received a 3.094% fixed interest rate cash loan of $19.2 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank Atlanta (“FHLB-ATL”). On September 29, 2023, the Company restructured the December 2018 agreement to extend the maturity date to March 28, 2025, with a 5.109% fixed interest rate payable quarterly commencing on December 28, 2023. Membership in the FHLB-ATL required an investment in FHLB-ATL’s common stock which was purchased in December 2018 and valued at $1.4 million. In March 2025, the FHLB-ATL agreement was repaid and the securities were released from pledged collateral. As of September 30, 2025, the subsidiary continues to be a member in FHLB-ATL with its common stock valued at $570,000.
In December 2018, our insurance subsidiary became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank Des Moines ("FHLB-DM"). Membership in the FHLB-DM required an investment in FHLB-DM’s common stock which was purchased in December 2018 and valued at $133,200. In January 2024, the insurance subsidiary of the Company received a 4.23% fixed interest rate cash loan of $5.5 million from the FHLB-DM. Additionally, the transaction required the acquired FHLB-DM common stock and certain other investments to be pledged as collateral. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the collateralized securities was $4.2 million and the equity investment in FHLB-DM common stock was $316,300.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
When we prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. We have made no material changes or additions with regard to those policies and estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The information set forth under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” is incorporated herein by reference. We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The duration of the financial instruments held in our portfolio that are subject to interest rate risk was 3.13 years and 3.19 years at September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 3.1 years at December 31, 2024. To the extent interest rates decrease during 2025, we anticipate the fair value of our fixed rate debt securities to be subject to increase. Credit risk results from uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations. Credit risk is managed by maintaining a high credit quality fixed maturity securities portfolio. As of September 30, 2025, the estimated weighted-average credit quality rating of the fixed maturity securities portfolio was A+, at fair value, at December 31, 2024 our average credit quality rating was an A.
We have not experienced a material impact when compared to the tabular presentations of our interest rate and market risk sensitive instruments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting for the period ending September 30, 2025.
