Managing the Cycle We are prioritizing underwriting margin over top-line growth, and the returns show it is working. The market is softening Gross written premium down 5.3% year-over-year, on a ~24% decline in net pricing, with E&S contributing $28.7M year-to-date to offset the softening market. Ceded written premium down 8.8% year-over-year, inclusive of expanding our core catastrophe exhaustion point in 2026. We are declining underpriced accounts rather than defend position at the expense of returns. Our discipline is working Underlying combined ratio held at 68.7%, an uptick from 62.2% in the prior year, but still best in class. Return on equity of 26.6%. Book value per share up 10.7% since December 31, 2025, and 20.2% year-over-year and compounding.

Strong Catastrophe Protection A severe hurricane year is expected to be an earnings event, not a capital event. June 1, 2026 Renewal Outcome ~$1.68B of total per-occurrence limit placed. Reinsurer panel broadened from 25 to 31, with improved per-occurrence and aggregate protection. $400M of cascading coverage down to $50M in third and subsequent events. Multi-Year Coverage means $764M of limit placed ahead of the 2027 renewal excluding FHCF limit. All-perils covered above $50M retention. Subsequent 8/1/2026 buy-down of our first event retention to $23.5M. Managing Net Premiums Quota share cession stepped down from 20% to 15% effective June 1, 2025. Reinsurance ceding ratio fell to 49.8%, from 52.6%, inclusive of expanded coverage purchased. Net premium earned decreased 11.1% to $69.7M, despite gross earned premium falling 16.2%. We expect net premiums to normalize as our June 1, 2026 renewal savings earn off. 3-year reinsurance cost is down approximately 36% to 40% while coverage broadened.
