    Skyward Group Chairman and CEO Andrew Robinson commented, \u201cWe delivered another quarter of excellent results reflecting the strength, resilience and earnings power of our Rule Our Niche strategy, our uniquely diversified business portfolio, and disciplined execution. Diluted operating earnings per share of $1.30 increased 46% year over year, and our annualized operating return on equity of 20.4% for the first half of the year underscores our continued strong returns and outstanding earnings growth. Our combined ratio of 89.5%, inclusive of 1.9 points of catastrophe losses, again demonstrates the quality of our underwriting and disciplined risk management. Gross written premiums grew 13% and fee generating premiums grew 29% to $318 million in the quarter. Book value per share increased to $28.55 during the quarter. We believe we are exceptionally well positioned to continue to deliver top quartile results and long-term value for shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Apollo provides managing agency services to nine syndicates within its Lloyd\u2019s platform. The capital-aligned syndicates, Syndicate 1969, Syndicate 1971 and Syndicate 1972, are wholly managed and partly capitalized by Apollo with Apollo retaining a portion of the underwriting risk via its Lloyd’s Corporate Member, Apollo No. 16. Platform Partner syndicates are managed by Apollo on behalf of third\u2011party partners and Apollo does not currently provide capital for underwriting of these syndicates. Apollo receives managing agency fees and performance\u2011based income for their managing agency services from all syndicates on its Lloyd’s platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    \n Calculated using consolidated net earned premiums<\/em>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    The Skyward Specialty segment loss and LAE ratios for the second quarter and first half of 2026 increased 1.3 points and 0.8 points, respectively, when compared to the same 2025 periods primarily due to shifts in business mix driven by growth in the accident & health and global agriculture divisions. The Apollo segment loss and LAE ratios for the second quarter and first half of 2026 were impacted by catastrophe losses, primarily from the conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

    The expense ratios for the second quarter and first half of 2026 improved 0.9 points and 0.3 points, respectively, when compared to the same 2025 periods. The Skyward Specialty segment\u2019s expense ratio improved 2.7 points and 1.7 points, respectively, when compared to the same 2025 periods, primarily driven by business mix shift, enhanced operating efficiencies, and scale benefits as net earned premiums outpaced expense growth. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its expense presentation to report corporate expenses separately from segment expenses following the closing of the Apollo acquisition. The prior year period has been recast to reflect this change.<\/p>\n

    In the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its presentation of net investment income to (i) report short-term investments separately from cash and cash equivalents following the closing of the Apollo acquisition, and (ii) include equities in alternative & strategic investments after the sale of the majority of the equity portfolio in 2025. The prior year period has been recast to reflect this change.<\/p>\n

    Net investment income for the second quarter and first half of 2026 increased $12.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively, when compared to the same 2025 periods, driven by the addition of the Apollo portfolio, a higher yield and a larger asset base. The increase in income from cash and cash equivalents was due to an overall increase in the invested asset base from the addition of Apollo when compared to the same 2025 periods.<\/p>\n

    The alternative & strategic investments portfolio continued to be impacted by the decline in the fair value of limited partnership investments.<\/p>\n

    \n Stockholders\u2019 Equity<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

    Stockholders\u2019 equity was $1,267.5 million at June\u00a030, 2026 which represented an increase of 3.5% when compared to stockholders’ equity of $1,224.9 million at March 31, 2026. The increase in stockholders\u2019 equity was primarily attributable to net income, partially offset by repurchases of the Company\u2019s common stock.<\/p>\n

    \n Conference Call<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

    At 9:00 a.m. eastern time tomorrow, August\u00a05, 2026, Company management will hold a conference call to discuss quarterly results with insurance industry analysts.

    \n Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

    This release contains certain financial measures and ratios that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (\u201cGAAP\u201d). We refer to these measures as \u201cnon-GAAP financial measures.\u201d We use these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating our performance.<\/p>\n

    We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for our management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered supplemental in nature and is not meant to be a substitute for revenue or net income, in each case as recognized in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to comparable GAAP financial measures, see the section entitled \u201cReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n Operating income<\/strong> \u2013 We define operating income as net income excluding 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 operating income 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. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define operating income differently.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    \n Underwriting income<\/strong> \u2013 We define underwriting income as net income before income taxes excluding net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, impairment charges, interest expense, amortization expense and other income and expenses. Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of our underwriting operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to investment income. 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 pre-tax income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
