| Basis of Presentation and Management Representation | Basis of Presentation and Management Representation On September 30, 2025, Conifer Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Presurance Holdings, Inc. On August 21, 2025, Conifer Insurance Company changed its name to Triassic Insurance Company. The consolidated financial statements include accounts, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions, of Presurance Holdings, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, Triassic Insurance Company ("TIC"), White Pine Insurance Company ("WPIC"), Red Cedar Insurance Company ("RCIC"), and VSRM, Inc. ("VSRM"). TIC, WPIC, and RCIC are collectively referred to as the "Insurance Company Subsidiaries." On a stand-alone basis, Presurance Holdings, Inc. is referred to as the "Parent Company" or "PHI." The consolidated entity is also referred to as the "Company." Prior to the sale of Conifer Insurance Services ("CIS") the consolidated financial statements also included CIS which is presented under discontinued operations. CIS contained substantially all of the wholesale agency segment and was sold on August 30, 2024. See Note 2 ~ Discontinued Operations for further details. VSRM used to own 50% of Sycamore Specialty Underwriters, LLC ("SSU"). In the third quarter of 2024, VSRM sold its 50% ownership to an entity owned by Andrew Petcoff for $6.5 million. Andrew Petcoff is the son of James Petcoff, the Company's former Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer and beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's common stock. Andrew Petcoff purchased 50% of SSU from the Company on December 31, 2022, for $1,000. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which differ from statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted for insurance companies by regulatory authorities. |
| Business | Business Historically, the Company was engaged in the sale of property and casualty insurance products and organized its principal operations into three types of insurance businesses: commercial lines, personal lines, and agency business. The Company no longer has the agency business following the sales of both CIS and SSU. The Company used to underwrite a variety of specialty commercial insurance products, including commercial property, general liability, liquor liability and commercial automobile. Effective December 31, 2025, the Company no longer writes any commercial lines business. While this business is no longer written by the Company, the historical business contributes significantly to our exposure to loss reserve development. As of December 31, 2025, the Company offers only homeowners insurance products in Texas, Illinois and Indiana. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Troy, Michigan. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In applying these estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. While management believes the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements reflect management's best estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments Cash consists of cash deposits in banks, generally in operating accounts. Cash equivalents consist of money-market funds that are specifically used as overnight investments tied to cash deposit accounts. Short-term investments, consisting of money-market funds, are classified as short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets as they relate to the Company’s investment activities. |
| Lease Accounting | Lease Accounting The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842 Leases, which required the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, discounted to the present value upon initial recognition, for all leases that extend beyond 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability are amortized over the lease term with expense recognized on a straight-line basis and all cash flows included in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. We do not have any financing leases. Our operating leases consist primarily of real estate utilized in the operation of our businesses with lease terms ranging from 3 to 5 years. Management calculated the right-to-use asset and lease liability using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities included in Other Assets and Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a right-of-use asset of $120,000, and lease liability of $119,000. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a of $101,000 and of $102,000. |
| Investment Securities | Investment Securities Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. The Company determines the fair value using the market approach, which uses quoted prices or other relevant data based on market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The Company classifies all of its debt securities as available for sale. The Company does not have any securities classified as held-to-maturity or trading. For debt securities available-for-sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Our outside investment managers assist us in this evaluation. The change in unrealized gain and loss on debt securities is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of the related deferred tax effect, until realized. The debt securities portfolio includes structured securities. The Company recognizes income from these securities using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the estimated economic life is recalculated and the remaining unamortized premium or discount is amortized prospectively over the remaining economic life. Premiums and discounts on structured securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the related available‑for‑sale security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific-identification basis and included in earnings on the trade date. Equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in net income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investment company limited partnerships are measured at their net asset value, which approximates fair value. Any changes in the net asset value are recognized in net operating results in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company carries other equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value at cost, less impairment and adjusted for observable price changes under the measurement alternative provided under GAAP. We review these investments for impairment during each reporting period. These investments are a component of Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
| Credit Losses | Credit Losses We review available-for-sale debt securities for credit losses based on current expected credit loss methodology at the end of each reporting period. We do not have any securities classified as trading or held to maturity. At each quarter-end, for available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. |
| Recognition of Premium Revenues | Recognition of Premium Revenues All of the property and casualty policies written by our insurance companies are considered short-duration contracts. These policy premiums are earned on a daily pro-rata basis, net of reinsurance, over the term of the policy, which are primarily twelve months in duration. The portion of premiums written that relate to the unexpired terms of policies in force are deferred and reported as unearned premium at the balance sheet date. |
| Reinsurance | Reinsurance Reinsurance premiums, commissions, losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") on reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with that used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The amounts reported as reinsurance recoverables include amounts billed to reinsurers on losses and LAE paid as well as estimates of amounts expected to be recovered from reinsurers on insurance liabilities that have not yet been paid. Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and LAE are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the gross liabilities as they are applied to the underlying reinsured contracts. The Company records an allowance for credit losses on uncollectible reinsurance recoverables based on an assessment of the reinsurer’s creditworthiness and collectability of the recorded amounts. Management believes an allowance for credit losses on uncollectible recoverables from its reinsurers was not necessary for the periods presented. The Company receives ceding commissions in connection with certain ceded reinsurance. The ceding commissions are recorded as a reduction of policy acquisition costs and recognized ratably over the underlying policy period. |
| Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs | Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Costs incurred which are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance business are deferred. These deferred costs consist of commissions paid to agents (net of ceding commissions), premium taxes, and underwriting costs, including compensation and payroll related benefits. Proceeds from reinsurance transactions that represent recovery of acquisition costs reduce applicable unamortized acquisition costs in such a manner that net acquisition costs are capitalized and charged to expense. Amortization of such policy acquisition costs is charged to expense in proportion to premium earned over the estimated policy term. To the extent that unearned premiums on existing policies are not adequate to cover the sum of expected losses and LAE, unamortized acquisition costs and policy maintenance costs, unamortized deferred policy acquisition costs are charged to expense to the extent required to eliminate the premium deficiency. If the premium deficiency is greater than the unamortized policy acquisition costs, a liability is recorded for any such deficiency. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no premium deficiency reserve. The Company considers anticipated investment income in determining whether a premium deficiency exists. Management performs this evaluation at each insurance product line level. |
| Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The liability for unpaid losses and LAE in the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the Company’s estimate of the amount it expects to pay for the ultimate cost of all losses and LAE incurred that remain unpaid at the balance sheet date. The liability is recorded on an undiscounted basis. The process of estimating the liability for unpaid losses and LAE is a complex process that requires a high degree of judgment. The liability for unpaid losses and LAE represents the accumulation of individual case estimates for reported losses and LAE, and actuarially determined estimates for incurred but not reported losses and LAE and includes a provision for estimated costs to settle all outstanding claims at the balance sheet date. The liability for unpaid losses and LAE is intended to include the ultimate net cost of all losses and LAE incurred but unpaid as of the balance sheet date. The liability is stated net of anticipated deductibles, salvage and subrogation, and gross of reinsurance ceded. The estimate of the unpaid losses and LAE liability is continually reviewed and updated. Although management believes the liability for losses and LAE is reasonable, the ultimate liability may be more or less than the current estimate. The estimation of ultimate liability for unpaid losses and LAE is a complex process, and therefore involves a considerable degree of judgment and expertise. The Company utilizes various actuarially‑accepted reserving methodologies in deriving the continuum of expected outcomes and ultimately determining its estimated liability amount. These methodologies utilize various inputs, including but not limited to written and earned premiums, paid and reported losses and LAE, expected initial loss and LAE ratio, which is the ratio of incurred losses and LAE to earned premiums, and expected claim reporting and payout patterns (including company-specific and industry data). The liability for unpaid loss and LAE does not represent an exact measurement of liability, but is an estimate that is not directly or precisely quantifiable, particularly on a prospective basis, and is subject to a significant degree of variability over time. In addition, the establishment of the liability for unpaid losses and LAE makes no provision for the broadening of coverage by legislative action or judicial interpretation or for the extraordinary future emergence of new types of losses not sufficiently represented in the Company’s historical experience or which cannot yet be quantified. As a result, an integral component of estimating the liability for unpaid losses and LAE is the use of informed subjective estimates and judgments about the ultimate exposure to unpaid losses and LAE. The effects of changes in the estimated liability are included in the results of operations in the period in which the estimates are revised. The applicable portion of the unpaid losses and LAE recoverable from reinsurers under reinsurance contracts are reported separately as assets on the consolidated balance sheets. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax-credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there is sufficient positive evidence, as allowed under the Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes, to support the recoverability of those deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to the extent that there is insufficient evidence to support the recoverability of the deferred tax asset under ASC 740. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax‑planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If it is determined that the deferred tax assets would be realizable in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment would be made to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes a tax position as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% cumulative likelihood of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. |
| Other Income | Other Income Other income consists primarily of fees charged to policyholders by the Company for services outside of the premium charge, such as installment billings or policy issuance costs. Commission income is also received by the Company’s insurance agencies through the date of disposal of CIS on August 30, 2024, for writing policies for third party insurance companies. The Company recognizes commission income on the later of the effective date of the policy, the date when the premium can be reasonably established, or the date when substantially all services related to the insurance placement have been rendered. |
| Operating Expenses | Operating Expenses Operating expenses consist primarily of other underwriting, compensation and benefits, information technology, facility and other administrative expenses. |
| Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose additional information with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate. Additionally, public business entities will need to disaggregate federal, state and foreign taxes paid in their financial statements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption primarily impacted the Company's income tax disclosures and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for all public business entities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and for interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
| Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Company is exposed to interest rate risks as it maintains a significant amount of its investment portfolio in debt securities. As of December 31, 2025, total net unrealized losses in the debt securities was $8.4 million. Management believes it will not need to sell debt securities at significant losses as it has the ability and intention to hold them until maturity or their values improve. The Company is exposed to a concentration of risk. The go-forward business is currently only homeowners business. The Company has only one managing general agency ("MGA") generating all of the homeowners business. In addition, 79.5% of the homeowners business was written in Texas for 2025. |
| Company Liquidity | Company Liquidity We conduct our business operations primarily through our Insurance Company Subsidiaries. Our ability to service debt, and pay administrative expenses is primarily reliant upon our intercompany service fees paid by the Insurance Company Subsidiaries to the holding company for management, administrative, and information technology services provided to the Insurance Company Subsidiaries by the Parent Company. Secondarily, the Parent Company may receive dividends from the Insurance Company Subsidiaries; however, this is not the primary means in which the holding company supports its funding as state insurance laws restrict the ability of our Insurance Company Subsidiaries to declare dividends to the Parent Company. Generally, the limitations are based on the greater of statutory net income for the preceding year or 10% of statutory surplus at the end of the preceding year. There were no dividends paid from our Insurance Company Subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. However, there was a $4.0 million return-of-capital payment made by WPIC to PHI in 2025. We do not anticipate any dividends being paid to us from our insurance subsidiaries in the near term. Due to significant losses in 2025 and 2024, much of which is attributable to strengthening reserves on the legacy commercial liability lines of business (which are now all in run-off), both Insurance Company Subsidiaries lacked sufficient capital to continue to underwrite the volume of business they have historically written. In particular, there was $12.3 million and $29.9 million of adverse development in TIC in 2025 and 2024, respectively. This resulted in the need for PHI to contribute a combined $16.0 million to TIC in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. PHI contributed $6.5 million of cash to TIC in June 2025. PHI contributed all of its $7.6 million ownership interest in WPIC to TIC effective December 31, 2025, as further support to TIC's capital and surplus. Additionally, PHI contributed $3.0 million of cash to TIC in February 2026 which was included in TIC's reported statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025. Even with these contributions, TIC fell within the Company Action Level of the Risk Based Capital ("RBC") with an RBC ratio of 236% and 156% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is required to submit an updated plan of remediation to its domiciliary regulator. TIC is also subject to additional regulatory monitoring requirements as a result of the Company not being above the minimum required RBC levels as of December 31, 2025. To fund these additional contributions, PHI initially raised $7.5 million from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock in the first quarter of 2025. PHI also utilized proceeds from the second $10.0 million earnout from the CIS Sale, which were received in the second quarter of 2025. PHI raised $8.0 million from the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock in December 2025. In February 2026, PHI completed a backstopped rights offering for $14.0 million which utilized a portion of the proceeds to redeem the $7.5 million Series B Preferred Stock and contribute the $3.0 million of cash to TIC from PHI in February 2026. To further support capital, PHI did not charge any services fees to the Insurance Company Subsidiaries during 2025 or 2024. WPIC no longer writes any business and TIC’s writings are significantly constrained by its diminished capital position. If we do not remediate the regulatory deficiency the insurance regulator could suspend or terminate TIC’s authority to write business. Also, A.M. Best and Kroll downgraded the financial strength ratings of both companies and we terminated the rating relationship. Therefore, neither company is currently rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization which can have an impact on the ability to market to policyholders. These circumstances could jeopardize the ability of the Company to generate insurance underwriting revenues. As an effort to support TIC and WPIC during 2025 and 2024, PHI received no intercompany service fees from the Insurance Company Subsidiaries and has relied significantly on proceeds from sales of assets and capital raises over the last two years in order to ensure its ability to meet its obligations as they became due. With the recently issued $14.0 million of common stock through a backstopped rights offering, proceeds of $8.0 million from the Series C Preferred Stock, anticipated go-forward revenue primarily from TIC, the potential receipt of a $10.0 million third earnout payment and the potential sale of available assets which could generate short-term cash flow and additional short-term financing available from existing investors, management believes the Company has the ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months. |
