When the Company sells investments, the Company calculates the gain or loss realized on the sale by comparing the sales price (fair value) to the cost or adjusted/amortized cost of the security sold. The Company determines the cost or adjusted/amortized cost of the security sold using the specific-identification method. The following table details the Company's realized gains (losses) by major investment category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively:

Portfolio Monitoring

The Company has a quarterly portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed-income security whose carrying value may be impaired as a result of a credit loss. For each fixed-income security in an unrealized loss position, if the Company

determines that it intends to sell the security or that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost or amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity needs, contractual or regulatory requirements, the security's entire decline in fair value is recorded in earnings.

If management decides not to sell the fixed-income security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the fixed-income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This is typically indicated by a change in the rating of the security assigned by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security or industry, among other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is 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 will be recorded in earnings. Credit loss is limited to the difference between a security's amortized cost basis and its fair value. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company determined that none of its fixed-income securities shown in the table below that are in an unrealized loss position have declines in fair value that are reflected as a result of credit losses. Therefore, no credit loss allowance was recorded at June 30, 2026. The issuers of the Company's debt security investments continue to make interest payments on a timely basis. The Company does not intend to sell, nor is it likely that it will be required to sell the debt securities before it recovers the amortized cost basis. Equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the valuation of equity investments.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company can access.

Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:

(a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

(b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or

(c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities.

The Company estimates the fair value of its investments using the closing prices on the last business day of the reporting period, obtained from active markets such as the NYSE, Nasdaq and NYSE American. For securities for which quoted prices in active markets are unavailable, the Company uses a third-party pricing service that utilizes quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, benchmark interest rates, broker quotes and other relevant inputs to estimate the fair value of those securities for which quoted prices are unavailable. The Company's estimates of fair value reflect the interest rate environment that existed as of the close of business on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Changes in interest rates subsequent to June 30, 2026 may affect the fair value of the Company's investments.

The fair value of the Company's fixed maturities is initially calculated by a third-party pricing service. Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of proprietary models, produce valuation information in the form of a single fair value for individual fixed-income and other securities for which a fair value has been requested. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, liquidity spreads, currency rates and other information, as applicable. Credit and liquidity spreads are typically implied from completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities. Valuation service providers also use proprietary discounted cash flow models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry and similar to those used by other market participants to value the same financial information. The valuation models take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date, as described above, as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector and, where applicable, collateral quality and other issue or issuer specific information. Executing valuation models effectively requires seasoned professional judgment and experience.

Any change in the estimated fair value of the Company's fixed-income securities would impact the amount of unrealized gain or loss the Company has recorded, which could change the amount the Company has recorded for its investments and other comprehensive income (loss) on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The carrying amounts for the following financial instrument categories approximate their fair values at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 because of their short-term nature: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance payable, other assets, and other liabilities. The carrying amount of the Company's senior notes approximates fair value.

The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The Company has implemented a system of processes and controls designed to provide assurance that its assets and liabilities are appropriately valued. For fair values received from third parties, the Company's processes are designed to provide assurance that the valuation methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded.

At the end of each quarter, the Company determines whether it needs to transfer the fair values of any securities between levels of the fair value hierarchy and, if so, the Company reports the transfer as of the end of the quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company transferred no investments between levels.

For the Company's investments in U.S. government securities that do not have prices in active markets, agency securities, state and municipal governments, and corporate bonds, the Company obtains the fair values from its investment custodians, which use a third-party valuation service. The valuation service calculates prices for the Company's investments in the aforementioned security types on a month-end basis by using several matrix-pricing methodologies that incorporate inputs from various sources. The model the valuation service uses to price U.S. government securities and securities of states and municipalities incorporates inputs from active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. To price corporate bonds and agency securities, the valuation service calculates non-call yield spreads on all issuers, uses option-adjusted yield spreads to account for any early redemption features, and adds final spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve at 3 p.m. (ET) as of quarter end. Since the inputs the valuation service uses in its calculations are not quoted prices in active markets, but are observable inputs, they represent Level 2 inputs.

The expected annual dividend yield for these warrants is based on no dividends being paid in future quarters. The expected volatility is a historical volatility calculated based on the daily closing prices of a publicly traded entity with a similar profile to the underlying entity. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at June 30, 2026. Expected term takes into account the remaining contractual term of the warrant.

Other Investments

The Company acquired investments in limited partnerships recorded in the other investments line of the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are currently being measured at estimated fair value utilizing a net asset value per share practical expedient. Any change in the fair value of these investments is recorded in the net unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities line on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Dividends and interest income are recognized in the net investment income line of the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The Company has also acquired an investment in a commercial mortgage loan, which is classified as held-for-long-term-investment and a surplus note, which is classified as held-to-maturity. Both of these investments are carried on the balance sheet at amortized cost. Finally, the Company holds short-term investments, which are level 2 investments carried at fair value.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company invested $6 million in a surplus note, as seen in the table above. As a term of this investment, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company was issued 18,497 warrants to purchase common stock of the issuer of the surplus note for no additional consideration. These warrants are free-standing in nature and are not being used as a hedging instrument. The Company does not invest in derivatives as part of its investment strategy and is only a holder of these warrants as a product of its strategy to invest in this surplus note.

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of these warrants was $1,205,000, utilizing the assumptions outlined above. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not assigned a value to these warrants. This change in fair value was recorded in the net unrealized gain on equity securities line of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the asset is recorded in the other investments line of the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, these warrants had no impact on the Company's financial position or financial performance as the Company did not have sufficient information to assign value to these warrants. These warrants did not impact the statement of cash flows for either period.

Restricted Cash

The Company is required to maintain assets on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance operations. The cash on deposit with state regulators is available to settle insurance liabilities. The Company also uses trust funds in certain reinsurance transactions.
