(NYSE:HCI), reported pre-tax income of $90.6 million and net income of $67.9 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared with pre-tax income of $14.1 million and net income of $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2024.

Management Commentary

"This was another strong quarter, marked by solid profitability, industry-leading net combined ratios, and meaningful growth in book value per share," said HCI Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paresh Patel. "Most importantly, we progressed our initiative to unlock shareholder value and establish Exzeo as an independent, publicly traded entity which was achieved earlier this week."

Third Quarter 2025 Commentary

Gross premiums earned in the third quarter of 2025 increased by 13.4% to $301.1 million from $265.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 as a result of a higher volume of policies in force.

Premiums ceded for reinsurance in the third quarter of 2025 were $106.1 million compared with $109.7 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were $66.2 million compared with $105.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Losses and loss adjustment expenses in the third quarter of 2024 included net losses of $40.0 million from Hurricane Helene. The gross loss ratio was 22.0% in the third quarter of 2025 compared with 39.8% in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting the lower catastrophic event activity as well as lower claim frequency on other non-catastrophic claims.

Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were $31.7 million compared with $26.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by a higher volume of premiums in force.

General and administrative personnel expenses in the third quarter of 2025 increased to $20.8 million from $19.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in incentive compensation.

Interest expense in the third quarter of 2025 decreased to $1.0 million from $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 as a result of the conversion of the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes during the second quarter of 2025.

Other operating expenses in the third quarter of 2025 decreased to $6.1 million from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in bank service charges and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Premiums ceded for reinsurance for the nine months of 2025 were $308.2 million compared with $254.5 million for the nine months of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the number of policies in force and total insured value.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses in the nine months ended of 2024 included net losses of $40.0 million from Hurricane Helene. The gross loss ratio for the nine months of 2025 was 21.0% compared to 33.6% for the nine months of 2024, reflecting the lower catastrophic event activity as well as lower claim frequency on other non-catastrophic claims.

Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses for the nine months of 2025 were $89.5 million compared with $71.7 million for the nine months of 2024. The increase was driven by a higher volume of premiums in force.

General and administrative personnel expenses for the nine months of 2025 increased to $61.3 million from $52.9 million for the nine months of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based and other incentive compensation, and employee health benefits.

Interest expense for the nine months of 2025 decreased to $8.1 million from $10.0 million for the nine months of 2024 as a result of the conversion of the 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes during the second quarter of 2025.

Other operating expenses for the nine months of 2025 decreased to $20.6 million from $22.0 million for the nine months of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in bank service charges and other miscellaneous operating expenses; partially offset by a $1.1 million debt conversion charge in connection with the conversion of our 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes during the second quarter of 2025.
