$24.2m (+48.2%)to$74.5m y/y. - Our combined ratio of 57.7% was better than our 65.0% target and a decrease of 5.0 points from 62.7% in the same period last year.

$13 million which is amortized over the 8- month period fromOctober 2024 toMay 2025 . This results in AmCoastal having its full reinsurance tower in place for potential subsequent hurricane events with our net retention now reduced to$10.3 million net of income tax for the next two potential hurricane occurrences. - Completed an assumption from Citizens on
