Second Quarter 2025 Commentary
Consolidated gross premiums earned in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 14.8% to $302.6 million from $263.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 as a result of a higher volume of policies in force over the comparative period.
Premiums ceded for reinsurance in the second quarter of 2025 were $102.5 million compared with $99.6 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were $64.5 million compared with $78.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 despite the growth in gross premiums earned. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in claims and litigation frequency. The gross loss ratio in the second quarter was 21.3% compared to 29.7% in the second quarter of 2024.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were $30.6 million compared with $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by higher gross premiums.
General and administrative personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2025 increased to $20.0 million from $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation, employee health benefits and merit increases.
Other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025 increased to $8.8 million from $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million debt conversion charge in connection with the conversion of our 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes during the second quarter of 2025.
