Fort Lauderdale, Fla., July 23, 2026 – Universal Insurance Holdings (NYSE: UVE) (“Universal” or the “Company”) reported second quarter 2026 results.
“In the quarter, we delivered a very strong 38.8% annualized return on common equity, driven by solid underwriting and revenue performance,” said Stephen J. Donaghy, Chief Executive Officer. “Notably, the net loss ratio improved by 7.5 points year-over-year, driven by favorable claims and litigation trends that we expect to benefit non-catastrophe margins throughout the year. Strong retention and new business generation resulted in 4.1% direct premiums written growth, including growth in Florida and across our multi-state footprint.”
“The favorable claims and litigation trends in our results are a direct product of Florida’s legislative reforms. Thanks to the efforts of the Governor, the Legislature, and the OIR, the Florida homeowners insurance market has stabilized and now operates much more like the rest of the country. Our litigation inventory is back down to levels that preceded Florida’s litigation crisis, and the impact of pre-reform claims practices is behind us. As a result, we believe our aggregate reserves provide a meaningful margin above expected ultimate losses. Combined with more favorable reinsurance rates and our ability to write rate-adequate premium through our robust organic new business pipeline, we believe we are well positioned to deliver sustained profitable growth.”

1 Reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures are provided in the attached tables. Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share and core revenue exclude net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes the items above and interest and amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted book value per share excludes accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Adjusted ROCE is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders by average adjusted book value per share, with the denominator further excluding current period after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments.

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income
Net income available to common stockholders was $59.2 million, compared to net income of $35.1 million in the prior year quarter, and adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $53.4 million, compared to adjusted net income of $35.7 million in the prior year quarter. The higher adjusted net income available to common stockholders mostly stems from a lower net loss ratio and higher net premiums earned and net investment income.

Revenues
Revenue was $427.0 million, up 6.7% from the prior year quarter and core revenue was $419.4 million, up 4.6% from the prior year quarter. The increase in core revenue primarily stems from higher net premiums earned and net investment income.

Direct premiums written were $621.3 million, up 4.1% from the prior year quarter. The increase stems from 0.8% growth in Florida and 14.4% growth in other states. Overall growth mostly reflects higher policies in force across our multi-state footprint.

Direct premiums earned were $544.8 million, up 4.1% from the prior year quarter. The increase stems from direct premiums written growth over the past twelve months.

The ceded premium ratio was 30.8%, down from 31.2%, in the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily reflects Universal’s new reinsurance program, which incepted on June 1, 2026.

Net premiums earned were $377.3 million, up 4.7% from the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to higher direct premiums earned and a lower ceded premium ratio, as described above.

Net investment income was $20.2 million, up from $17.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase stems from higher fixed income reinvestment yields and higher invested assets.

Commissions, policy fees and other revenue were $21.9 million, down 6.7% from the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily reflects commissions earned on reinstatements in the prior year quarter.

Margins
The operating income margin was 19.1%, compared to an operating income margin of 12.0% in the prior year quarter. The adjusted operating income margin was 17.6%, compared to an adjusted operating income margin of 12.2% in the prior year quarter. The higher adjusted operating income margin primarily stems from a lower net loss ratio.

The net loss ratio was 64.8%, down 7.5 points compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease reflects better current accident year results.

The net expense ratio was 26.8%, up 1.3 points from 25.5% in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher policy acquisition costs associated with growth outside Florida, partly offset by a lower ceded premium ratio.

The net combined ratio was 91.6%, down 6.2 points compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease reflects a lower net loss ratio, partly offset by a higher net expense ratio, as described above.

Capital Deployment
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 122 thousand shares at an aggregate cost of $4.5 million. The Company’s current share repurchase authorization program has approximately $8.6 million remaining.

On July 8, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 16 cents per share of common stock, payable on August 7, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including core revenue, adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders and diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per common share, which exclude the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) margin exclude the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments and interest and amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted common stockholders’ equity and adjusted book value per share exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), net of taxes. Adjusted return on common equity excludes after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments from the numerator and AOCI, net of taxes, and current period after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments from the denominator. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). UVE management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful, as they allow investors to evaluate underlying revenue and profitability trends and enhance comparability across periods. When considered together with the GAAP financial measures, management believes these metrics provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. UVE management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze UVE’s business trends and to understand UVE’s operational performance. UVE’s management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in long-term

planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information regarding our key performance indicators, please refer to the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Key Performance Indicators” in our forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Such statements may include commentary on plans, products and lines of business, marketing arrangements, reinsurance programs, other business developments, projections, and estimates, and assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Important factors that could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
•we may face significant losses, and our financial results may vary from period to period, due to exposure to catastrophic events and severe weather conditions, the frequency and severity of which could be affected by climate change;
•if we fail to adequately price the risks we underwrite and/or the estimates we make, or if emerging trends outpace our ability to adjust prices timely, or if we lose desirable exposures to competitors by overpricing our risks, we may experience underwriting losses depleting surplus at our risk-bearing insurance subsidiaries and capital at the holding company;
•unanticipated increases in the severity or frequency of claims adversely affect our profitability and financial condition;
•the failure of the risk mitigation strategies we utilize could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations; and
•the risks and uncertainties, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and supplemented in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For further information regarding risk factors that could affect the Company’s operations and future results, refer to the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the most recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
