The earnings call reflects strong financial performance with improved profitability and operational efficiency, as evidenced by the decreased expense ratio and combined ratio. The Q&A session supports this with management's confidence in legislative reforms and favorable reinsurance outlook. Despite some unclear responses, the overall sentiment is positive, particularly with a significant increase in book value per share and net income growth.
Gross premiums written Increased by 49% to $239 million compared to $161 million in the third quarter of '24. The increase was driven primarily by new and renewal policies written through the voluntary market and strategic participation in the Citizens takeout program.
Gross premiums earned Increased by 34% to $222 million compared to $165 million in the third quarter of '24. This was driven by new and renewal policies written through the voluntary market and strategic participation in the Citizens takeout program.
Net premiums earned Increased by 28% to $52 million compared to $40 million in the third quarter of '24. The increase was driven by new and renewal policies written through the voluntary market and strategic participation in the Citizens takeout program.
Ceded premiums earned Increased by 36% to $170 million compared to $125 million in the third quarter of last year. This increase was due to the increase in gross premiums earned and the placement of the '25-'26 catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program.
Net investment income Increased 84% to $6.9 million compared to $3.8 million in the third quarter of '24. This was driven by an increase in invested assets, primarily due to the IPO proceeds and the growth in in-force premiums.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses Increased 19% to $30 million compared to $25 million in the third quarter of '24. This was driven primarily by an increase in gross premiums earned, offset by the lack of catastrophe losses.
Underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio 50% for the third quarter of '25 compared to 36% in the third quarter of '24. This reflects normal quarterly variability and remains within underwriting expectations.
Policy acquisition expenses Decreased 20% to $6.2 million compared to $7.8 million in the third quarter of '24. This was driven by slightly lower acquisition costs associated with Citizens takeouts and increased ceding commissions.
Expense ratio Decreased by 10 percentage points to 25% for the third quarter of '25 from 35% in the third quarter of '24. This reflects enduring scale benefits and stronger ceding commissions.
Combined ratio 79% for the third quarter of '25 compared to 94% for the third quarter of '24. This demonstrates improved profitability and operational efficiency.
Net income available to common shareholders $13 million for the third quarter of '25. This reflects the company's ability to translate growth into profitability.
Adjusted net income $14 million for the third quarter of '25. This reflects sustained margin improvement through structural gains.
Book value per share $16.14 at September 30, '25, up 28.2% from $12.58 at year-end '24. This reflects the company's ability to grow equity and deliver shareholder value.

However, this expansion carries risks such as potential underwriting challenges, market competition, and the need for disciplined growth to avoid overexposure.
