Q4-2021 Results
Core earnings improved dramatically from last year's -
- We labeled 2021 a transition year because we significantly increased our reinsurance spend to de-risk and de-leverage our portfolio.
- Ceded premiums hurt Q4 results, but our lower risk retention and operating leverage combined with improving underwriting metrics now have us better positioned for the long-term.
