|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DISCLAIMER<br>This presentation contains forward-looking statements about Palomar Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). These statements involve known<br>and unknown risks that relate to the Company’s future events or future financial performance and the actual results could differ materially<br>from those discussed in this presentation. This presentation also includes financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with<br>generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these<br>non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see the<br>appendix to this present.<br>Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases,<br>you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘expects’’, ‘‘plans’’,<br>‘‘anticipates’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘intends’’, ‘‘target’’, ‘‘projects’’, ‘‘contemplates’’, ‘‘believes’’, ‘‘estimates’’, ‘‘predicts’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘potential’’ or<br>‘‘continue’’ or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans<br>or intentions. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to our future financial performance, our<br>business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters. These forward-<br>looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject<br>to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others,<br>future results of operations; financial position; the impact of the ongoing and global COVID-19 pandemic; general economic, political and<br>other risks, including currency and stock market fluctuations and uncertain economic environment; the volatility of the trading price of our<br>common stock; and our expectations about market trends.<br>The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in its forward-looking statements, and you should<br>not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans,<br>intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements the Company makes. While the Company may elect to update<br>these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company has no current intention of doing so except to the extent<br>required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as<br>of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Additional risks and uncertainties relating to the Company and its business can<br>be found in the "Risk Factors" section of Palomar Holdings, Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-<br>Q, and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.<br>Page | 1 www.PalomarSpecialty.com | |||||||

| THEORETICAL EXAMPLE OF NET<br>WRITTEN PREMIUM COMPARISON<br>TO NET EARNED PREMIUM<br>This example represents flat written premium with no changes to XOL reinsurance expense. With flat written premium the difference<br>between net written and earned premium only exists in Year 1 when the earned premium is building to steady state. Once the earned<br>premium reaches steady state the net written and earned are the same.<br>Assumptions: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Q1-Q2 Year 3 Q3-Q4<br>Ceded Quota Share % 10% 10% 10% 10%<br>XOL Annual Expense 8,000 8,000 8,000 8,000<br>Year 1 Q1 Year 1 Q2 Year 1 Q3 Year 1 Q4 Year 2 Q1 Year 2 Q2 Year 2 Q3 Year 2 Q4 Year 3 Q1 Year 3 Q2 Year 3 Q3 Year 3 Q4 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3<br>Gross written premium 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 20,000 20,000 20,000<br>Ceded written premium QS (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000)<br>Ceded written premium XOL (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (8,000) (8,000) (8,000)<br>Net written premium 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 10,000 10,000 10,000<br>Ceded WP / GWP -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50%<br>NWP / GWP 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50%<br>QoQ Change in Ceded WP/GWP 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0%<br>Gross earned premium 625 1,875 3,125 4,375 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 10,000 20,000 20,000<br>Ceded earned premium QS (63) (188) (313) (438) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (500) (1,000) (2,000) (2,000)<br>Ceded earned premium XOL (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (2,000) (8,000) (8,000) (8,000)<br>Net earned premium (1,438) (313) 813 1,938 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 1,000 10,000 10,000<br>Ceded EP / GEP -330% -117% -74% -56% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -50% -90% -50% -50%<br>NEP / GEP -230% -17% 26% 44% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 10% 50% 50%<br>QoQ Change in Ceded EP/GEP 213% 43% 18% 6% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 40% 0%<br>Diff Ceded EP/GEP & Ceded WP/GWP -280% -67% -24% -6% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% -40% 0% 0%<br>Page | 26 | |||||||
