Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract]  
Reinsurance Reinsurance
In order to limit the Company’s potential exposure to individual risks and catastrophic events, the Company
purchases reinsurance from third-party reinsurers as well as the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), a
state-mandated catastrophe fund for Florida policies only. All of the Company’s reinsurance partners were rated
“A-” or higher by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) or “BBB” or higher by Standard & Poor’s Financial
Services LLC (“S&P”) or were fully collateralized.
In 2024, the Company also began participating in a “take-out program” through which the Company assumes
insurance policies held by Citizens. The take-out program is a legislatively created program designed to reduce the
state’s risk exposure by encouraging private companies to assume policies from Citizens.
2026 – 2027 Reinsurance Program
Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance
Effective June 1, 2026, the Company entered into catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements covering its
insurance subsidiary, AIIC. The catastrophe reinsurance program is indemnity-based and includes a combination of
coverage from traditional reinsurers, the FHCF, Insurance Linked Securities (“ILS”) investors through Integrity Re
III Ltd., and the Company’s segregated cell captive reinsurer.
The 2026–2027 reinsurance program provides third-party reinsurance coverage of $2.25 billion for a single
catastrophic event, with total third-party coverage of $2.99 billion across all occurrences, representing a 15.8%
increase over the prior year’s treaty limit. The first event tower, including retentions, is equal to a 1-in-130 year
probable maximum loss level, consistent with last year’s program. The Company’s net retention is $35.0 million for
the first event, $20.0 million for the second event, and $10.0 million for each of the third and fourth events.
The FHCF covers Florida-admitted risks only, and the Company elected to participate at 90% for the 2026 hurricane
season, consistent with the prior year, totaling $572.7 million of limit.
The ILS market represented $825.0 million of limit with $565.0 million reflective of our catastrophe bonds issued in
2025 which expire in May of 2027, and new catastrophe bonds totaling $260.0 million issued by Integrity Re III Ltd,
a Bermuda-based special purpose insurer and unrelated party, as part of the program, marking the ninth ILS
transaction sponsored by the Company.
All reinsurers participating in the program are either rated “A-” or higher by A.M. Best or are fully collateralized, to
mitigate counterparty credit risk. The entire program is structured without parametric covers and is fully indemnity-
based.
Total net consolidated catastrophe reinsurance premiums ceded to third parties are expected to total $430.0 -
$440.0 million for the 2026 treaty year.
Net Quota Share Reinsurance
Effective December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2026, the Company entered into quota share agreements that
generally provide coverage for 25% of all losses net of other reinsurance coverages, the aggregate of which shall not
exceed 116.6% of net ceded premiums earned. The reinsurers’ net liability on catastrophe losses shall not exceed
2.5% of gross premiums earned net of inuring reinsurance premium. In the determination of ceded premiums under
the agreements, the maximum amount allowed by the reinsurers for other inuring reinsurance coverages is limited to
31% of gross premiums earned for the term of the contract. The reinsurers allow the Company a provisional ceding
commission of 68.25% to 69.00%, depending on the reinsurer, that adjusts based on loss experience.
The Company remains contingently liable in the event the reinsuring companies do not meet their obligations under
these reinsurance contracts. Given the quality of the reinsuring companies, management believes this possibility to
be remote. See Note 8 – “Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” for recoveries due from
reinsurers relating to paid and unpaid losses and LAE under these treaties.
