3 Executive Summary • Q3-24 Results • Non-GAAP Core Income of $26.9m ($0.54) increased $11.4m (+73.6%) from $15.5m ($0.35) y/y on lower ceded earned premiums resulting from the step down of the 40% gross CAT quota share effective 6.1.2023 to 20% effective 6.1.2024. • Net premiums earned grew $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. • Current year net catastrophe losses in the quarter were $5.0m before tax (Hurricanes Debby & Helene) and we had $1.4m of favorable prior year reserve development. • Stockholders’ equity attributable to ACIC, increased to $259.6m or $5.38 per share and $5.63 per share excluding unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income. • Other Highlights • We have received 154 claims from Hurricane Milton and expect about 200 claims in total with an estimated ultimate gross loss between $150 - $200 million and a net loss incurred of $20.5m before income tax during the fourth quarter. • Reinstatement premiums are expected to increase ceded premiums earned by approximately $13 million which is amortized over the 8- month period from October 2024 to May 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 October 29, 2024, adding 88 new risks with roughly $9.7m of expiring premium.
