Outlook and guidance
Management expects continued volatility due to catastrophe risk, regulatory changes, and market competition.
California regulatory changes allow for catastrophe modeling and reinsurance costs in rate-making, which may support future rate adequacy.
The company is actively pursuing subrogation recoveries and has received approval to recoup a portion of FAIR Plan assessments from policyholders.
Forward-looking statements caution on uncertainties in loss estimates, subrogation recoveries, and market conditions.

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.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
