2026 Third Quarter Gross Written Premium

Gross written premiums decreased 57.8% to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. For the nine months ending September 30, 2026, gross written premiums decreased 40.8% to $30.7 million, compared to $51.9 million in the prior-year period.

The reduction in premium volume reflects the Company's continued emphasis on underwriting discipline, and selective risk acceptance in potentially softening market conditions. The Company remains focused on its personal lines homeowners business while continuing to manage its legacy Commercial Lines portfolio in runoff.

Certain reserve strengthening in the third quarter of 2026 was largely due to development experienced solely in the legacy run-off book of business.

Personal Lines gross written premiums decreased 44.6% to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Personal Lines gross written premiums decreased 28.8% to $30.7 million, compared to $43.2 million in the prior-year period.

Following the decision to non-renew its Midwest homeowners business, the Company's Personal Lines portfolio now consists exclusively of Texas homeowners policies going forward.

This transition further focuses the Company's geographic and underwriting footprint and reinforces its commitment to a dedicated operating model centered on disciplined risk selection and overall profitability.

The Company's Commercial Lines portfolio remains in runoff, with no ongoing new business production. Reserve strengthening during the third quarter of 2026 was largely attributable to adverse development largely within the Company's discontinued Security Guard book of business.

Performance within this portfolio further underscores the importance of maintaining a disciplined approach to legacy exposures and active claims management of discontinued business. The Company remains focused on prudent reserve management, and reducing / mitigating the impact of historical Commercial Lines exposures on future financial results.

The Company's underwriting combined ratio was 113.2% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 141.2% for the same period in 2025, largely impacted by select reserve strengthening in the quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company's overall underwriting combined ratio improved significantly to 97.1%, compared to 133.7% in the prior-year period. This reflects continued progress in the Company's ongoing underwriting operations, partially offset by reserve strengthening associated with its discontinued Commercial Lines portfolio.

The year-to-date improvement reflects the continued benefit of the Company's refined underwriting strategy and more focused Personal Lines portfolio.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Presurance prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Statutory data is prepared in accordance with statutory accounting rules as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual and therefore is not reconciled to GAAP data.

We believe that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by our disclosure of adjusted operating income. Our method of calculating this measure may differ from that used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. We define adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP measure, as net income (loss) excluding: 1) net realized investment gains (losses), 2) change in fair value of equity securities, 3) change in fair value of contingent considerations, 4) contingent consideration bonus expense and 5) additional accretion of warrants from Series B Preferred Stock payoff. We use adjusted operating income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into the results of our operations and underlying business performance.
