-
- Completed catastrophe reinsurance program renewals effective
6.1.24 at lower cost due to replacing FORA and reducing the quota share. This sets up revenue and earnings in the next 4 quarters to compare favorably with the prior year and added more limit for a potential 3rd event and higher severity protection to support future exposure growth. - Executed definitive agreements to divest of
Interboro Insurance Company and we anticipate closing during 1Q-25. As a result of the pending sale, IIC is now included in discontinued operations. - Began development of a new apartment product to be distributed and underwritten directly through our MGA, Skyway Underwriters.

Investment Portfolio Overview
- Strong cash generation has propelled successive quarterly growth in investments and liquid assets.
- Focus on a resilient and high-quality portfolio considerate of current market conditions and risks.
9
Underwriting Environment
Competition remains limited but is getting more aggressive and driving softer market conditions.
- TIV down -1.7% and policy count down -5.8% YTD, but 100-YR PML up +3.5% due to model change.
- Premiums in-force are up 2.0% to
$656m with average premium up +8.3% YTD, but average renewal rates started to decline consistent with lower reinsurance costs. - Account retention was near target of 85% and submission volume remains strong, but accounts bound relative to submissions received and quotes provided are down y/y due to pricing.
- Market appears to have peaked and is beginning to soften, but renewal pricing is holding close to expiring. AmCoastal is a market leader and expects to maintain its portfolio at comparable terms.
- Valuation changes are slowing as replacement cost estimates reflect lower inflation pressure.
- Our commercial residential take-out application for the October 27th, 2024 assumption date has been approved by the
Florida Office of Insurance Regulation .
