\n“We delivered another quarter of exceptional financial results,” said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael P. Kehoe. “Our business continues to generate consistent and growing underwriting profits and investment income. We are generating significant operating cash flows resulting in excess capital and are pleased to report an additional share repurchase authorization of $250 million. Our focus remains on delivering sustainable long-term value creation for stockholders as we execute our strategy of disciplined underwriting and technology-enabled low costs.”<\/p>\n Results of Operations<\/b><\/p>\n Underwriting Results<\/i><\/p>\n \nGross written premiums were $527.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $555.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 5.0%. Gross written premiums were $1,009.6 million for the first half of 2026 compared to $1,039.8 million for the first half of 2025, a decrease of 2.9%. The decrease in gross written premiums was primarily due to heightened competition in the Commercial Property Division where premiums declined 32.7% and 30.9% in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively. Excluding the Commercial Property Division, gross written premiums increased 3.7% for the second quarter of 2026 and 4.8% for the first half of 2026 compared to the prior-year periods, reflecting continued strong submission flow across most divisions and an increase in bound accounts offset in part by lower average premium per policy as a result of heightened competition.<\/p>\n \nUnderwriting income(2)<\/sup> was $105.4 million, resulting in a combined ratio(5)<\/sup> of 75.5% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $95.5 million and a combined ratio(5)<\/sup> of 75.8% for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in underwriting income(2) <\/sup>was largely due to growth in net earned premiums and higher favorable development of loss reserves from prior accident years offset in part by lower ceding commissions as a result of increased retention on the Company’s reinsurance treaties. Loss(3) <\/sup>and expense(4)<\/sup> ratios were 53.8% and 21.7%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 55.1% and 20.7% for the second quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n\nUnderwriting income(2)<\/sup> was $199.9 million, resulting in a combined ratio(5)<\/sup> of 76.4% for the first half of 2026 compared to $162.9 million and a combined ratio(5)<\/sup> of 78.8% for the first half of 2025. The increase in underwriting income(2)<\/sup> was largely due to growth in net earned premiums, lower catastrophe losses and higher favorable development of loss reserves from prior accident years. Loss(3)<\/sup> and expense(4)<\/sup> ratios were 55.0% and 21.4%, respectively, for the first half of 2026 compared to 58.5% and 20.3% for the first half of 2025. The loss ratio for the first half of 2025 included 3.4 points of net catastrophe losses, primarily related to the Palisades Fire.<\/p>\n\nThe increase in the expense ratio for both the second quarter and first half of 2026 compared to the prior-year periods was primarily due to lower ceding commissions as a result of higher retention on the Company\u2019s reinsurance treaties. The economic effect of lower ceding commissions was more than offset by the retention of incremental underwriting margin and higher investment income.<\/p>\n Summary of Operating Results<\/i><\/p>\n

Net investment income was $111.2 million in the first half of 2026 compared to $90.3 million in the first half of 2025, an increase of 23.1%. These increases were driven by growth in the Company’s investment portfolio generated largely from the investment of strong operating cash flows. The Company\u2019s investment portfolio had an annualized gross investment return(8)<\/sup> of 4.5% and 4.3% for the first half of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Funds are generally invested conservatively in high-quality securities with an average credit quality of “AA-” and the weighted average duration of the fixed-maturity investment portfolio, including cash equivalents, was 4.3 years and 4.0 years at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Cash and invested assets totaled $5.5 billion at June 30, 2026 and $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n| \n (8)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n \nGross investment return is investment income from fixed-maturity and equity securities (and short-term investments, if any), before any deductions for fees and expenses, expressed as a percentage of average beginning and ending book values of those investments during the period.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Capital Return to Stockholders<\/i><\/p>\n \nDuring the second quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 321,055 shares of its common stock in the open market at an average price of $311.47 per share for a total cost of $100.0 million. In July 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional $250 million share repurchase authorization, bringing the remaining capacity to $337.5 million under the share repurchase program.<\/p>\n \nDuring the second quarter of 2026, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock for a total distribution of $5.7 million.<\/p>\n Other<\/i><\/p>\n \nThe effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 were 19.8% and 20.4%, respectively. In the first half of 2026 and 2025, the effective tax rates were lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax benefits from stock-based compensation, including stock options exercised, and from tax-exempt investment income.<\/p>\n \nStockholders’ equity was $2.0 billion at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Book value per share was $89.34 at June 30, 2026 compared to $84.66 at December 31, 2025. Annualized operating return on equity(7) <\/sup>was 24.4% for the first half of 2026, a decrease from 24.7% for the first half of 2025. The decrease was due primarily to higher average stockholders’ equity offset in part by higher profitability compared to the prior-year period.<\/p>\nNon-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n Net Operating Earnings<\/i><\/p>\n \nNet operating earnings is defined as net income excluding the effects of the change in the fair value of equity securities, after taxes, net realized investment gains and losses, after taxes, and change in allowance for credit losses on investments, after taxes. Management believes the exclusion of these items provides a useful comparison of the Company’s underlying business performance from period to period. Net operating earnings and percentages or calculations using net operating earnings (e.g., diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on equity) are non-GAAP financial measures. Net operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define net operating earnings differently.<\/p>\n \nFor the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net income and diluted earnings per share reconcile to net operating earnings and diluted operating earnings per share as follows:<\/p>\n \n\n| \n

in allowance for credit losses on investments, interest expense, other expenses, other income and income tax expense. The Company uses underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of its operations because the Company believes it gives management and users of the Company’s financial information useful insight into the Company’s results of operations and underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.<\/p>\n \nFor the three and
