Executive summary

  • Reported a net loss of $8.3 million for Q3 2025 and an adjusted net loss of $25.5 million, primarily due to $38.2 million reserve strengthening for increased California cumulative trauma (CT) claims in recent accident years.

  • Gross premiums written rose 1.4% to $183.9 million in Q3 2025, with policy-in-force up 4% year-over-year to a record 135,414, driven by renewal business and small commercial segment growth.

  • Announced a $125 million debt-funded recapitalization plan to optimize capital structure and enhance shareholder returns, with share repurchase authorization increased to $250 million.

  • Decisive actions in pricing, reserving, and underwriting, including a more conservative reserving approach and appetite expansion, to build resilience and support future profitability.

  • Returned $52.7 million to shareholders in Q3 2025 via dividends and share repurchases.

Financial highlights

  • Gross premiums written were $183.9 million for Q3 2025 and $599.3 million year-to-date; net premiums earned were $192.1 million for Q3 2025 and $573.4 million year-to-date.

  • Losses and LAE surged to $186.6 million in Q3 2025, up 58.5% year-over-year, mainly due to reserve strengthening and higher CT claim frequency.

  • Net investment income was $26.1 million for Q3 2025 and $85.3 million for the nine months, with net realized and unrealized gains of $21.2 million in Q3 2025.

  • Adjusted net loss for Q3 2025 was $25.5 million, compared to adjusted net income of $20.2 million a year ago; nine-month adjusted net income was $34 million, down from $90 million last year.

  • Combined ratio increased to 129.7% for Q3 2025 and 112.5% for the nine months, with loss and LAE ratio at 97.1% for Q3 2025.

Outlook and guidance

  • Underwriting and pricing actions are expected to improve future accident year performance, with 2025 anticipated to outperform 2024 and 2023 at comparable maturities.

  • Recapitalization and share repurchase initiatives are expected to reduce cost of capital, expand EPS, increase book value per share, and improve ROE.

  • No significant growth expected in the next 12 months as focus remains on underwriting margin over top-line expansion.

  • Management expects that recent reserve actions and California-specific underwriting changes fully address current loss trends.

  • Fourth quarter will include a full internal and external reserve review, with no expected impact.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
