Q3 revenue was $455.3M vs. $382.5M YoY; net income was $49.8M vs. $45.9M.
Nine-month revenue was $1.421B vs. $1.031B; net income was $148.6M vs. $126.8M and operating income was $174.6M vs. $119.5M.

Outlook and guidance
FY premium growth remained on track near the upper end of the original $2.65B–$2.8B guidance range; 2027 guidance is expected on the Q4 call.
Nine-month growth remained in the low teens; managed premiums, including premiums supporting fee earnings, are expected to outgrow reported GWP.
No anomalous Q4 net earned premium adjustment was expected, though a treaty-year true-up could not be ruled out.
Premium receipts and investment income were expected to cover cash outflows in the foreseeable future; operating cash flow may vary with premium, claims and reinsurance timing.
Management cited the diversified portfolio and capital-light, fee-based platform as support for profitable growth and shareholder returns.
