Our loss ratio of 67.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 1.1 points compared to 66.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to an increase in our current accident year loss ratio.

Our expense ratio of 28.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased 2.0 points compared to 30.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

These improvements were partially offset by the 1.7 point increase in o…

Our expense ratio was 28.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 30.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of 2.0 points.

The decrease in our operating expenses ratio was due to the continued scaling of our business, where net earned premiums grew at a higher rate than our expenses, as well as the prudent management of our expenses, including new estimates of deferrable costs.
The increase in our net acquisition costs ratio was driven by an increase in earned broker commissions due to changes in our portfolio mix and Ceding Fee, partially offset by an increase in earned ceding commissions from our ceded reinsurance treaties. Gross acquisition costs earned as a percentage …
The combined ratio was 95.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 97.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The 2.0 point decrease was due to the 2.0 point decrease in our expense ratio.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
