The Company reported net income attributable to stockholders of $14.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $22.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders(1) was $14.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share(1).
Third Quarter 2026 Highlights
•Gross written premiums increased 14.7% to $165.0 million
•Net income attributable to stockholders was $14.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share
•Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders(1) was $14.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share
•Combined ratio was 84.7%, compared to 88.7% in Q3 2025
•Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity(1) was 8.9% in Q3 2026 and 15.5% year to date
•Book value per share at quarter-end was $13.72 per share, up 7.4% from year-end
Chief Executive Officer Justin Cohen said, “Ategrity delivered an exceptional quarter of underwriting performance, achieving a record low combined ratio of 84.7% and underwriting income growth of 83.7%. Business momentum was strong, with submissions growing 30% and gross written premiums increasing approximately 15%, well ahead of industry estimates of E&S premium growth.
“Our results reflect the strength of our differentiated underwriting model and the growing value of our productionized platform. With an expanding portfolio of specialty products, next-generation underwriting technology, and a broader distribution network, we are strengthening our competitive position and creating additional opportunities to capture market share and profitably compound growth.”
Underwriting Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, gross written premiums increased 14.7% compared to the prior-year period, driven by execution of our growth initiatives and increased engagement across our expanding distribution network. Gross written premiums in property lines increased 25.0% year-over-year, supported by growth in lower-risk geographies, including the Midwest and New England. Gross written premiums for casualty lines increased 10.0% year-over-year, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on broadening casualty-related products and verticals.
Underwriting income(1) was $19.5 million for the quarter, up 83.7% from $10.6 million in the prior-year period. The combined ratio for the quarter was 84.7%, a decrease from 88.7% in the prior-year period, driven by improvement in both the loss and expense ratios. The loss ratio decreased by 2.5 percentage points to 57.5%, reflecting continued strong loss experience across both property and casualty lines.
The overall expense ratio was 27.2% for the quarter, compared to 28.7% in the prior-year period, driven by operating expense leverage and lower net policy acquisition costs. Operating expenses, net of fee income, decreased as a percentage of net earned premiums by 0.8 percentage points to 10.0%, reflecting emerging scale benefits of our centralized model. Policy acquisition costs also improved, decreasing by 0.7 percentage points to 17.2% of net earned premiums due to a favorable shift in our business mix.
Chris Schenk, President and Chief Underwriting Officer, said, “We are a high-velocity, execution-oriented company that embraces AI and analytics while remaining grounded in underwriting fundamentals. This quarter’s results and accomplishments illustrate that combination.
“We delivered the lowest combined ratio in the company’s history and continued to gain market share across both Property and Casualty. Property gross written premiums increased approximately 25%, countering broader market trends and reflecting the success of our regional strategies, including Project Heartland and New England. Our Casualty business was strong, with our core middle market business growing substantially, even as we implemented meaningful rate increases on new business to provide expanded coverage and maintain rate adequacy ahead of loss cost trends.
“We also launched four new specialty products—Energy, Environmental Liability, Life Sciences, and Sports & Entertainment—in a record four weeks. Alongside these launches, we deployed our next-generation underwriting platform across our established Brokerage business, redesigned core product offerings, and launched our ‘We Cover What Matters’ campaign, bringing our guiding principles on coverage to life. These accomplishments demonstrate our ability to move quickly from strategy to execution, expanding our business while strengthening underwriting performance.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors in our common stock with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. Management believes that excluding certain items that are not indicative of core performance assists in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Underwriting Income
We define underwriting income as income before income taxes excluding the impact of net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, other income, interest expense, and other expenses (which include expenses related to corporate activities and expenses recorded by us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering). Underwriting income is a measure of the pre-tax profitability of our underwriting operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to net investment income among other things. We use this metric as we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before income taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.

Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders
We define adjusted net income attributable to stockholders as net income attributable to stockholders excluding certain other non-operating expenses, which include expenses recorded by us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. We use adjusted net income attributable to stockholders as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders should not be viewed as a substitute for net income attributable to stockholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.

Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity
We define adjusted return on stockholders’ equity as adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, expressed as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders excludes the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook, net of

tax impact. We use adjusted return on stockholders’ equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on stockholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on stockholders’ equity and adjusted net income attributable to stockholders differently.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share
We define adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, divided by weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted for the period. We use adjusted diluted earnings per share as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be viewed as a substitute for diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted diluted earnings per share differently.
