Note 1 -- Nature of Operations
HCI Group, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“HCI” or the “Company”), is primarily engaged in the property and casualty insurance business through two Florida domiciled insurance companies, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (“HCPCI”) and TypTap Insurance Company (“TTIC”). Both HCPCI and TTIC are authorized to underwrite various homeowners’ property and casualty insurance products and allied lines business in the state of Florida and in other states. A third insurance subsidiary, perRisk Insurance Company (“perRisk”), is domiciled in Arizona and has not yet commenced its surplus lines insurance business. The operations of insurance subsidiaries are supported by HCI Group, Inc. and certain entities within the consolidated group. Exzeo Group, Inc. (formerly known as TypTap Insurance Group, Inc.), its majority-owned subsidiary, provides turn-key insurance technology and operations solutions based on a proprietary platform of purpose-built software and data analytics applications that are specifically designed for the property and casualty insurance ecosystem. Exzeo’s advanced data analytics algorithms and software tools maximize efficiency and optimize underwriting outcomes.
The Company also provides attorney-in-fact (“AIF”) services for reciprocal insurance exchanges owned by their policyholders. The Company's subsidiaries, Core Risk Managers, LLC (“CRM”) and Tailrow Risk Managers, LLC (“TRM”), serve as the AIF for Condo Owners Reciprocal Exchange (“CORE”) and Tailrow Insurance Exchange (“Tailrow”), respectively. Although the Company does not have any equity interest in the reciprocal insurance exchanges, the Company is required to consolidate them as their primary beneficiary. See Note 14 -- “Variable Interest Entities” for additional information. In addition, Greenleaf Capital, LLC, the Company’s real estate subsidiary, is primarily engaged in the business of owning, developing, and leasing real estate and operating marina facilities.
On February 27, 2025, TypTap Insurance Group, Inc. filed articles of amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Exzeo Group, Inc (“Exzeo”). Exzeo and its consolidated subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as “Exzeo Group.”
Citizens Assumption
From time to time, the Company and its consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) may participate in a “take-out program” through which the Company and its VIEs assume insurance policies held by Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (“Citizens”), a Florida state-supported insurer.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 13,900 policies were assumed, representing approximately $35,800 in annualized gross written premiums, whereas for the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 9,800 policies were assumed, representing approximately $87,800 in annualized gross premiums.
Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of HCI Group, Inc. and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain
10
information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025.
In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to the Company’s losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies specific to reinsurance with retrospective provisions, reinsurance recoverable, deferred income taxes, limited partnership investments, allowance for credit losses, and stock-based compensation expense involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In the case of assumed business, the Company relies entirely on the ceding insurance company to provide information about premiums, losses, and loss adjustment expenses. When the information is not available at the reporting date, the Company will make estimates based on all recent available data. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassification
The Company's previously reported segment information has been recast to conform with the current presentation. See Note 15 -- “Segment Information.”
Note 3 -- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”) Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update enhances income tax disclosures by requiring public entities to report income tax expense disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, with further detail on specific jurisdictions over a quantitative threshold. In addition, public entities must also separately disclose reconciling items equal to or greater than five percent of pretax income from operations by the applicable federal statutory rate. This update has been adopted on a prospective basis for the fiscal year beginning on January 1,
2025 and will result in enhanced income tax disclosures beginning with our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-04. In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-04 (“ASU 2024-04”) Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. This update clarifies whether entities should apply extinguishment accounting or induced conversion accounting when recording the settlement of convertible debt instruments due to an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a reporting period if the entity has also adopted ASU 2020-06 as of that period. The Company has elected to early adopt this update effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of this update had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation upon adoption as the new guidance applies prospectively from January 1, 2025.
Pending Adoption
Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01 and 2024-03. In January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01 (“ASU 2025-01”) Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This update clarifies the effective date of Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”) Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which was issued by the FASB in November 2024. For public business entities, ASU 2024-03 enhances disclosures by requiring the disaggregation of certain expense captions presented within the income statement, such as employee compensation and intangible asset amortization. In addition, the total relevant expense caption on the income statement must be reconciled to the aggregate of the separately disclosed expense categories with the difference represented by an "other items" amount which is qualitatively described. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating its impact on certain disclosures but expects the adoption to result in additional disclosures of certain expenses.
Note 4 -- Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents funds in the Company’s sole ownership primarily held by certain states to meet regulatory requirements in which the Company’s insurance subsidiaries conduct business and not available for immediate business use. Funds withheld in an account for which the Company is a co-owner but not the named beneficiary are not considered restricted cash and are included in funds withheld for assumed business on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7 -- Fair Value Measurements
The Company records and discloses certain financial assets at their estimated fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1
–
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2
Other inputs that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets that are not observable throughout the full term of the asset.
Level 3
Inputs that are unobservable.
Valuation Methodology
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of money-market funds and certificates of deposit maturing within 90 days. Their carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity and high liquidity of these funds.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash held by state authorities and the carrying value approximates fair value.
19
Fixed-Maturity and Equity Securities
Estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed-maturity and equity securities are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair values are generally measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar securities. In those instances where observable inputs are not available, fair values are measured using unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value estimates derived from unobservable inputs are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and the estimated amounts and timing of future cash flows. The derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.
The estimated fair values for securities that do not trade on a daily basis are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from an independent pricing service and information provided by brokers, which are level 2 inputs. Management reviews the assumptions and methods utilized by the pricing service and then compares the relevant data and pricing to broker-provided data. The Company gains assurance of the overall reasonableness and consistent application of the assumptions and methodologies, and compliance with accounting standards for fair value determination through ongoing monitoring of the reported fair values.
Revolving Credit Facility
From time to time, the Company has an amount outstanding under a revolving credit facility. The interest rate is variable and is periodically adjusted based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a ten basis points adjustment plus a margin based on the debt-to-capital ratio. As a result, carrying value, when outstanding, approximates fair value.
Long-Term Debt
The following table summarizes components of the Company’s long-term debt and methods used in estimating their fair values:

On March 28, 2025, the Company notified all noteholders that it will redeem all of the outstanding 4.75% Convertible Notes on June 5, 2025 for a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As a consequence of this notice, the noteholders are entitled to convert their notes into shares of common stock until the end of the day June 4, 2025. The conversion ratio is 12.6789 shares of common stock per $1 principal amount of notes.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company converted $250 in aggregate principal of 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes for aggregate consideration of 3,169 shares of HCI’s common stock plus cash consideration in lieu of fractional shares.
With the redemption date of June 5, 2025, the effective interest rate, taking into account both cash and non-cash components, approximates 13.5%. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining amortization period of the debt issuance costs was expected to be two months.
Note 12 -- Reinsurance
Reinsurance obtained from other insurance companies
The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners’ insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts and a portion of its flood insurance exposure under one quota share reinsurance agreement. Ceded premiums under most catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts are subject to revision resulting from subsequent adjustments in total insured value. Under the terms of the quota share reinsurance agreement, the Company is entitled to a 30% ceding commission on ceded premiums written and a profit commission equal to 10% of net profit.
The Company remains liable for claims payments in the event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company contracts with a number of reinsurers to secure its annual reinsurance coverage, which generally becomes effective June 1st of each year. The Company purchases reinsurance each year taking into consideration probable maximum losses and reinsurance market conditions.
The impact of the reinsurance contracts on premiums written and earned is as follows:
Premiums Written:

Premiums Earned:

Gross earned
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company derecognized $6 of ceded losses, thereby increasing losses and loss adjustment expenses. There were no ceded losses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 44 reinsurers, participating in the Company’s reinsurance program. Total net amounts recoverable and receivable from reinsurers at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $527,769 and $558,441, respectively. Approximately 74.6% of the paid reinsurance recoverable balance at March 31, 2025 was receivable from four reinsurers, one of which was the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, a tax-exempt state trust fund. Based on all available information considered in the rating-based method, the Company recognized decreases in credit loss expense of $35 and $49 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Allowances for credit losses related to the reinsurance recoverable balance were $151 and $186 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
One of the existing reinsurance contracts includes retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. Due to the losses from Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton during the third and fourth quarters of 2024, these retrospective provisions were fully exhausted and as such, no benefits were accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In contrast, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized reductions in premiums ceded of $6,993 related to these adjustments in the consolidated statement of income.
There were no benefits accrued under the multi-year reinsurance contract with retrospective provisions at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Reinsurance provided to other insurance companies
United
The Company formerly provided quota share reinsurance to United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“United”) on its policies in the northeast and southeast regions of the United States. United was placed into receivership by the State of Florida due to its financial insolvency and, as a result, the Company ceased
providing quota share reinsurance on United policies. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a net balance of $831 due to United related to the northeast region, representing ceding commission payable.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a net balance of $1,438 due to United related to the southeast region, consisting of premiums payable of $1,712, offset by ceding commission receivable of $274.
At March 31, 2025, the Company had a net amount due to United of $2,269 and funds withheld for assumed business in trust accounts totaling $8,451 for the benefit of policies assumed from United. The Company cannot predict the actions a receiver might take, which may include restrictions on, or use of, funds held in trust. Any such actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of funds withheld for assumed business related to the Company’s quota share reinsurance agreements with United was $8,451 and $11,690, respectively.
Assumed premiums written related to Citizens policies were approximately $20,790 and $43,091 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 13 -- Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) is determined on an individual case basis for all claims reported. The liability also includes amounts for unallocated expenses, anticipated future claims development and losses incurred but not reported.
The Company primarily writes insurance in states which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. The occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on the Company’s quarterly results and cause a temporary disruption of the normal operations of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter.
Activity in the liability for losses and LAE is summarized as follows:

* Net balance represents beginning-of-period liability for unpaid losses and LAE less beginning-of-period reinsurance recoverable for unpaid losses and LAE.
The establishment of loss and LAE reserves is an inherently uncertain process and changes in loss and LAE reserve estimates are expected as these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events. Changes in estimates, or differences between estimates and amounts ultimately paid, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such estimates are adjusted. Losses and LAE for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included net estimated losses of approximately $10,775 related to Citizens policies assumed. Excluding Citizens-related losses, lower losses and LAE for the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulted from a decrease in reported claims and litigation frequency.
27
Note 14 -- Variable Interest Entities
The Company holds variable interests in two reciprocal insurance exchanges, CORE and Tailrow. The reciprocal insurance exchanges are owned by their policyholders, referred to as subscribers, who gain ownership by buying an insurance policy and making a surplus contribution. The Company is required to assess whether it has a controlling financial interest in its variable interest entities. A controlling financial interest exists if an entity has both: 1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and 2) the obligation to absorb losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under U.S. GAAP, an entity meeting these requirements is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE.
CORE was organized to offer commercial residential multiple peril and wind insurance products and Tailrow was organized to provide commercial residential multiple peril insurance. Based on management’s current evaluation, CORE and Tailrow are considered variable interest entities (VIEs), and the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of both entities.
Tailrow’s and CORE’s assets are legally restricted for the purpose of fulfilling their obligations. The creditors of the VIEs have no legal right to pursue additional sources of payment from the Company.

Note 15 -- Segment Information
The Company identifies its operating divisions based on managerial emphasis, organizational structure and revenue source. The Company has five reportable segments: insurance operations, Exzeo Group, reciprocal exchange operations, real estate operations, and corporate and other. Due to their economic characteristics, the Company’s property and casualty insurance division and reinsurance operations, excluding the insurance operations under reciprocal exchange operations, are grouped together into one reportable segment under insurance operations. The Exzeo Group segment includes insurance solutions, information technology operations, and its management company’s activities. The reciprocal exchange segment represents the insurance operations of CORE and Tailrow, consolidated VIEs. The real estate operations segment includes companies engaged in operating commercial properties the Company owns for investment purposes or for use in its own operations. The corporate and other segment represents the activities of the holding companies and any other companies, such as CRM and TRM, that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds for a reportable segment. The determination of segments may change over time due to changes in operational emphasis, revenues, and results of operations. The Company’s chief executive officer, who serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, evaluates each division’s financial and operating performance based on revenue and operating income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenues from the insurance operations segment before intracompany elimination represented 77.0% and 85.1%, respectively, and revenues from the Exzeo Group segment represented 16.7% and 12.7%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, insurance operations’ total assets represented 81.1% and 83.6%, respectively, and Exzeo Group’s total assets represented 5.5% and 3.7%, respectively, of the combined assets of all operating segments.

In March 2025, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement with tenant Government Employees Insurance Company (“GEICO”) for its 189,147-square-foot commercial real estate investment property located in Tampa, Florida. The lease term is 128 months, includes two options to renew for additional 60-month terms, and is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2025. GEICO also has the option to terminate, either partially or wholly, the lease agreement at the end of the seventh year after commencement of the lease. Under the office lease, the Company will waive rent for all three buildings during the first eight months of the lease term, rent for the first building during months 9 - 12, and fifty percent of rent for the first building during months 13 - 18. The Company will own all building improvements performed by the tenant. The total consideration in the lease agreement is allocated between the lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone prices, with the lease component representing the right to use office space and the non-lease component comprising various property maintenance and administrative services provided by the Company. The lease agreement does not include any residual value guarantees.

Note 17 -- Income Taxes
A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on available evidence both positive and negative, including recent operating results, available tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets each quarter, and as of March 31, 2025, based on all of the available evidence, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized other than a valuation allowance on the sale of TTIC by Exzeo to HCI in the amount of $544 related to the deferred intercompany taxable loss that arose during the third quarter of 2024. The Company did not have a valuation allowance established as of March 31, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded approximately $26,109 and $20,474 of income tax expense, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 26.0% and 26.4%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to a higher prior year effect tax rate resulting from certain non-deductible compensation expense for the first quarter of 2024. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes as well as certain nondeductible and tax-exempt items.
Note 18 -- Earnings Per Share
U.S. GAAP requires the Company to use the two-class method in computing basic earnings (loss) per share since holders of the Company’s restricted stock have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common stockholders. These participating securities affect the computation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share during periods of net income or loss. For a majority-owned subsidiary, its basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are first computed separately. Then, the Company’s proportionate share in that majority-owned subsidiary’s earnings is added to the computation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share at a consolidated level.

A summary of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented below:

Restricted Stock Awards
From time to time, the Company has granted and may grant restricted stock awards to certain executive officers, other employees, and non-employee directors in connection with their service to the Company. The terms of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock grants may include service, performance, and market-based conditions. The determination of fair value with respect to the awards containing only service-based conditions is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For awards with market-based conditions, the fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and then establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome.

OVERVIEW – General
HCI Group, Inc. is a Florida-based company with operations in property and casualty insurance, information technology services, insurance management, real estate and reinsurance. We utilize innovative technology to promote efficiency, refine risk assessment and enhance experiences for clients throughout the insurance process. We manage our operations in the following organizational segments, based on managerial emphasis and evaluation of financial and operating performances:
42
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenues from insurance operations before intracompany elimination represented 77.0% and 85.1%, respectively, and revenues from Exzeo Group represented 16.7% and 12.7%, respectively, of total revenues of all operating segments.

See Note 15 -- “Segment Information” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Property and Casualty Insurance
We currently have three insurance subsidiaries: Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (“HCPCI”) and TypTap Insurance Company (“TTIC”). A third insurance subsidiary, perRisk Insurance Company, has yet to conduct its surplus lines insurance business. We provide various forms of residential insurance products such as homeowners insurance, fire insurance, and wind-only insurance to homeowners, condominium owners and tenants for properties primarily located in Florida and in various states outside of Florida. Although we conduct insurance business in many states, Florida remains our primary market. We utilize internally developed software technologies to drive efficiency in claim processing and claims settlements, identify profitable underwriting opportunities, generate savings and streamline operations across its insurance operations.
Reinsurance and other auxiliary operations
We have a Bermuda domiciled wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd (“Claddaugh”). We selectively retain risk in Claddaugh, reducing the cost of third-party reinsurance. Claddaugh fully collateralizes its exposure to HCPCI, TypTap, and CORE by depositing funds into a trust account. Claddaugh may mitigate a portion of its risk through retrocession contracts, however Claddaugh did not enter into any retrocession contracts for the 2024-2025 treaty year. Currently, Claddaugh does not provide reinsurance to non-affiliates. Other auxiliary operations also include claim adjusting and processing services.
Exzeo Group, Inc. (“Exzeo”), our majority-owned subsidiary, currently has four subsidiaries: Exzeo Insurance Services, Inc (“EIS”) which was formerly known as TypTap Management Company, Exzeo USA, Inc. (“Exzeo USA”), Dark Horse Re, LLC (“Dark Horse”), and Cypress Tech Development Company which also owns Exzeo Software Private Limited (“Exzeo India”), a subsidiary domiciled in India. Exzeo provides a turn-key insurance technology and operations solutions to third-party insurance carriers based on a proprietary platform of purpose-built software and data-analytics applications that are specifically designed for the property and casualty insurance ecosystem. Exzeo's platform of products and services is highly scalable and poised to continue to optimize the performance of insurance markets, to the benefit of policyholders, capital providers, as well as the overall insurance value chain.

43
Insurance Solutions
Exzeo provides operational services through EIS, which performs end-to-end services including underwriting support, insurance application processing, policyholder service, premium collection activities and claims administration. Additionally, EIS leverages data analytics to monitor claims and market trends to improve pricing models, advising on insurance policy design, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Key products currently in use or under development include AtlasViewer®, an online data visualization and geographic tool, SAMSTM, a policy administration platform, HarmonyTM, a next generation policy administration platform under development, and ClaimColonyTM, an application that provides intelligent automation of insurance claims and other business processes.
Reinsurance Brokerage Services
Through our subsidiary Dark Horse, we provide expert reinsurance brokerage services to help insurance companies manage risk by acting as an intermediary between the insurer client and reinsurers. We design tailored reinsurance solutions by assessing our insurer client’s risk portfolio.
Reciprocal Exchange Operations refer to the activities of consolidated variable interest entities, Condo Owners Reciprocal Exchange (“CORE”) and Tailrow Insurance Exchange (“Tailrow”). CORE provides commercial residential multiple peril insurance, while Tailrow specializes in fire and homeowners multiple peril insurance.
A reciprocal insurance exchange is a policyholder-owned entity where members, known as subscribers, gain ownership by purchasing an insurance policy. These subscribers collectively assume one another’s risks by exchanging insurance contracts, effectively acting as both insurers and insureds. The exchange’s operations are managed by an attorney-in-fact (“AIF”) company, which oversees general administration, marketing, underwriting, accounting, policy administration, claims adjusting, and information technology.
Our real estate operations consist of multiple properties we own and operate for investment purposes and also properties we own and use for our own operations. Properties used in operations consist of two Tampa office buildings and an insurance operations site in Ocala, Florida. Our investment properties include retail shopping centers, two marinas, undeveloped land in Tampa and land under development in Haines City, Florida.
Other Operations
Holding company operations
Activities of our holding company, HCI Group, Inc., plus other companies that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds for a reportable segment comprise the operations of this segment.

The $31,529,000 increase was primarily attributable to higher reinsurance rates for the 2024-2025 contract year, increased coverage due to growth in the number of policies in force and total insured value.
Our premiums ceded represent costs of reinsurance to cover losses from catastrophes that exceed the retention levels defined by our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts or to assume a proportional share of losses as defined in a quota share agreement. The rates we pay for reinsurance are based primarily on policy exposures reflected in gross premiums earned. Reinsurance costs can be decreased by a reduction in premiums ceded attributable to retrospective provisions under reinsurance contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was no adjustment in premiums ceded related to retrospective provisions as opposed to a decrease of $6,993,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net Premiums Written for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled approximately $189,611,000 and $186,880,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs. The increase in 2025 primarily resulted from an increase in gross premiums written from the assumption of Citizens insurance policies, offset by an increase in premiums ceded. We had approximately 278,400 policies in force at March 31, 2025 as compared with approximately 250,500 policies in force at March 31, 2024.
Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $200,748,000 and $188,538,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less reinsurance costs as described above.
The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands):

Net Investment Income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $13,751,000 and $14,067,000, respectively. The $316,000 decrease was primarily attributable to a $1,175,000 decrease in income from real estate investments, a $946,000 decrease in interest income from cash and cash equivalents, and a $821,000 decrease in income from limited partnership investments, offset by an increase of $2,687,000 in interest income from available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities. See Net Investment Income under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
47
Net Realized Investment Gains for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were approximately $1,167,000 as opposed to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to net realized gains of approximately $1,115,000 from sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as opposed to $0 from sales of these securities during the corresponding period in 2024.
Net Unrealized Investment Losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $1,906,000 as opposed to net unrealized investment gains of approximately $2,635,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to an unfavorable change in the equity market compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Our consolidated Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $59,291,000 and $79,922,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease is primarily driven by a decline in claims and litigation frequency. The decrease was offset in part by losses on policies assumed from Citizens by the reciprocal exchange operations during 2025. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $27,287,000 and $22,139,000 on a consolidated basis, respectively, and primarily reflect the amortization of deferred acquisition costs such as commissions payable to agents for production and renewal of policies and premium taxes. The increase in amortized costs was primarily due to an increase in premiums in force associated with policy renewals in the insurance and reciprocal exchange operations.
General and Administrative Personnel Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $20,483,000 and $16,274,000, respectively. Our general and administrative personnel expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation expenses, and employee benefit costs. Factors such as merit increases, changes in headcount, and periodic restricted stock grants, among others, cause fluctuations in this expense. In addition, our personnel expenses are decreased by the capitalization of payroll costs related to projects to develop software for internal use and the payroll costs associated with the processing and settlement of certain catastrophe claims which are recoverable from reinsurers under reinsurance contracts. The quarter-over-quarter increase of $4,209,000 was primarily attributable to an increase in employee incentive bonus, an increase in stock-based compensation expense, an increase in employee health benefits, and merit increases for non-executive employees effective in March 2025, offset by higher payroll costs recoverable from reinsurers
Interest Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $3,384,000 and $3,149,000, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs in connection with the planned redemption of our 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes on June 5, 2025.
Income Tax Expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $26,109,000 and $20,474,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes, resulting in effective tax rates of 26.0% and 26.4%, respectively.
Ratios:
The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2025 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 29.5% compared with 42.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in losses and loss adjustment expenses and the increase in net premiums earned.
48
The expense ratio applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2025 (defined as total expenses excluding losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest expense related to net premiums earned) was 26.6% compared with 24.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in our expense ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in policy acquisition and other underwriting expense and the increase in general and administrative personnel expenses.
The combined ratio (total of all expenses excluding interest expense in relation to net premiums earned) is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 56.1% compared with 66.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in 2025 was attributable to the factors described above.
Seasonality of Our Business
Our insurance business is seasonal as hurricanes and tropical storms affecting Florida, our primary market, and other southeastern states typically occur during the period from June 1st through November 30th of each year. Winter storms in the northeast usually occur during the period between December 1st and March 31st of each year. Also, with our reinsurance treaty year typically effective on June 1st of each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes in reinsurance rates, coverage levels or changes in the total insured value of our policy base, will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning on June 1st of each year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Throughout our history, our liquidity requirements have been met through issuances of our common and preferred stock, debt offerings and funds from operations. We expect our future liquidity requirements will be met by funds from operations, primarily the cash received by our insurance subsidiaries from premiums written and investment income. We may consider raising additional capital through debt and/or equity offerings to support our growth and future investment opportunities.
Our insurance subsidiaries require liquidity and adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants and to fund operating expenses. In addition, we attempt to maintain adequate levels of liquidity and surplus to manage any differences between the duration of our liabilities and invested assets. In the insurance industry, cash collected for premiums from policies written is invested, interest and dividends are earned thereon, and losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid out over a period of years. This period of time varies by the circumstances surrounding each claim. With the exception of litigated claims, substantially all of our losses and loss adjustment expenses are fully settled and paid within approximately 90 days of the claim receipt date. Additional cash outflow occurs through payments of underwriting costs such as commissions, taxes, payroll, and general overhead expenses.
We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events such as reinsurer insolvencies, inadequate premium rates, or reserve deficiencies. We maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at levels management considers adequate to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position.
In the future, we anticipate our primary use of funds will be to pay claims, reinsurance premiums, interest, and dividends and to fund operating expenses and real estate acquisitions.

Limited Partnership Investments
Our limited partnership investments consist of six private equity funds managed by their general partners. Two of these funds have unexpired capital commitments which are callable at the discretion of the fund’s general partner for funding new investments or expenses of the fund. Although capital commitments for the four remaining funds have expired, the general partners may request additional funds under certain circumstances. At March 31, 2025, there was an aggregate unfunded capital balance of $3,160,000. See Limited Partnership Investments under Note 5 -- “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Real Estate Investment
Real estate has long been a significant component of our overall investment portfolio. It diversifies our portfolio and helps offset the volatility of other higher-risk assets. Thus, we may consider expanding our real estate investment portfolio should an opportunity arise.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $162,006,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, and reinsurance recoveries of approximately $30,707,000 less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash provided by investing activities of $66,271,000 was primarily due to the proceeds from calls, repayments and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $81,211,000, the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $12,152,000, and the proceeds from the sale of real estate property of $824,000, offset by the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $24,327,000, the purchases of real estate investments of $1,857,000, and the purchases of property and equipment of $1,732,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $6,248,000, which was primarily due to $4,306,000 of cash dividend payments, net repayment of our revolving credit facility of $2,000,000, $639,000 of share repurchases, and repayments of long-term debt of $133,000, offset by net contribution from noncontrolling interests of $830,000.
50
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $181,989,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written, and reinsurance recoveries of approximately $19,151,000 less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $4,872,000 was primarily due to the purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $180,015,000 and purchases of real estate investments of $5,244,000, offset by the proceeds from calls, repayments and maturities of fixed-maturity securities of $172,024,000 and the proceeds from sales of fixed-maturity and equity securities of $9,546,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $58,199,000, which was primarily due to the redemption of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $100,000,000, $3,993,000 of cash dividend payments, and cash dividends paid to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $2,923,000, offset by $50,000,000 of net borrowing under the line of credit agreement.
Investments
The main objective of our investment policy is to maximize our after-tax investment income with a reasonable level of risk given the current financial market. Our excess cash is invested primarily in money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and fixed-maturity and equity securities.
At March 31, 2025, we had $708,087,000 of fixed-maturity and equity investments, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the general interest rate environment affect the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments. While a rising interest rate environment enhances the returns available on new investments, it reduces the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments and thus the availability of gains on disposition. A decline in interest rates reduces the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments but increases the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments, creating the opportunity for realized investment gains on disposition.
In the future, we may alter our investment policy with regard to investments in federal, state and municipal obligations, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages, as permitted by applicable law, including insurance regulations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of March 31, 2025, we had unexpired capital commitments for limited partnerships in which we hold interests. Such commitments are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. See Note 22 -- “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to our losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. We base our estimates on various assumptions and actuarial data we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
51
We believe our accounting policies specific to losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, limited partnership investments, acquired intangible assets, warrants, and redeemable noncontrolling interest involve our most significant judgments and estimates material to our consolidated financial statements.
Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Our liability for losses and loss adjustment expense (“Reserves”) is specific to property insurance, which is our insurance subsidiaries’ only line of business. The Reserves include both case reserves on reported claims and our reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses. At each period end date, the balance of our Reserves is based on our best estimate of the ultimate cost of each claim for those known cases and the IBNR loss reserves are estimated based primarily on our historical experience. Changes in the estimated liability are charged or credited to operations as the losses and loss adjustment expenses are adjusted.
The IBNR represents our estimate of the ultimate cost of all claims that have occurred but have not been reported to us, and in some cases may not yet be known to the insured, and future development of reported claims. Estimating the IBNR component of our Reserves involves considerable judgment on the part of management. At March 31, 2025, $715,819,000 of the total $798,146,000 we have reserved for losses and loss adjustment expenses is attributable to our estimate of IBNR. The remaining $82,327,000 relates to known cases which have been reported but not yet fully settled in which case we have established a reserve based on currently available information and our best estimate of the cost to settle each claim. At March 31, 2025, $76,962,000 of the $82,327,000 in reserves for known cases relates to claims incurred during prior years.
Our Reserves decreased from $845,900,000 at December 31, 2024 to $798,146,000 at March 31, 2025. The $47,754,000 decrease is comprised of reductions in our catastrophe Reserves of $56,785,000 primarily specific to Hurricane Ian, Hurricane Helene as well as Hurricane Milton, and reductions in our non-catastrophe Reserves of $23,808,000 for 2024 and $13,357,000 for 2023 and prior loss years, offset by $46,196,000 in reserves established for 2025 loss year. The Reserves established for 2025 claims are primarily driven by an allowance for those claims that have been incurred but not reported to the company as of March 31, 2025. The decrease of $93,950,000 specific to our 2024 and prior loss-years reserves is due to settlement of claims related to those loss years.
Based on all information known to us, we consider our Reserves at March 31, 2025 to be adequate to cover our claims for losses that have occurred as of that date including losses yet to be reported to us. However, these estimates are continually reviewed by management as they are subject to significant variability and may be impacted by trends in claim severity and frequency or unusual exposures that have not yet been identified. As part of the process, we review historical data and consider various factors, including known and anticipated regulatory and legal developments, changes in social attitudes, inflation and economic conditions. As experience develops and other data becomes available, these estimates are revised, as required, resulting in increases or decreases to the existing unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Adjustments are reflected in the results of operations in the period in which they are made, and the liabilities may deviate substantially from prior estimates.
The above and other accounting estimates and their related risks that we consider to be our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there have been no other material changes with respect to any of our critical accounting policies.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our unaudited consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 -- “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
53
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our investment portfolio at March 31, 2025 included fixed-maturity and equity securities, the purposes of which are not for speculation. Our main objective is to maximize after-tax investment income and maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations while minimizing market risk, which is the potential economic loss from adverse fluctuations in securities prices. We consider many factors including credit ratings, investment concentrations, regulatory requirements, anticipated fluctuation of interest rates, durations and market conditions in developing investment strategies. Our investment securities are managed primarily by outside investment advisors and are overseen by the investment committee appointed by our Board of Directors. From time to time, our investment committee may decide to invest in low-risk assets such as U.S. government bonds.
Our investment portfolio is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk. Fiscal and economic uncertainties caused by any government action or inaction may exacerbate these risks and potentially have adverse impacts on the value of our investment portfolio.
We classify our fixed-maturity securities as available-for-sale and report any unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income within our stockholders’ equity. As such, any material temporary changes in their fair value can adversely impact the carrying value of our stockholders’ equity. In addition, we recognize any unrealized gains or losses related to our equity securities in our statement of income. As a result, our results of operations can be materially affected by the volatility in the equity market.
Interest Rate Risk
Our fixed-maturity securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. We manage the risk by analyzing anticipated movement in interest rates and considering our future capital needs.
The following table illustrates the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates to the fair value of our fixed-maturity securities at March 31, 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Credit Risk
Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers of our fixed-maturity securities. We mitigate the risk by investing in fixed-maturity securities that are generally investment grade, by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or business sector, and by continually monitoring each individual security for declines in credit quality. While we emphasize credit quality in our investment selection process, significant downturns in the markets or general economy may impact the credit quality of our portfolio.

Equity Price Risk
Our equity investment portfolio at March 31, 2025 included common stocks, perpetual preferred stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, implementation of possible controls and procedures depends on management’s judgment in evaluating their benefits relative to costs.
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to claims and legal actions arising routinely in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the claims and lawsuits asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025.
ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Working Capital Restrictions and Other Limitations on the Payment of Dividends
We are not subject to working capital restrictions or other limitations on the payment of dividends. Our insurance subsidiaries, however, are subject to restrictions on the dividends they may pay. Those restrictions could impact HCI’s ability to pay future dividends.
Under Florida law, a domestic insurer may not pay any dividend or distribute cash or other property to its stockholders except out of that part of its available and accumulated capital and surplus funds which is derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains. Additionally, a Florida domestic insurer may not make dividend payments or distributions to its stockholders without prior approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) if the dividend or distribution would exceed the larger of (1) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of its capital surplus or (b) net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a two year carry forward, (2) 10.0% of capital surplus with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains or (3) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of capital surplus or (b) net investment income plus a three year carry forward with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains.
Alternatively, a Florida domestic insurer may pay a dividend or distribution without the prior written approval of the FLOIR if (1) the dividend is equal to or less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the insurer’s capital surplus as regards to policyholders derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains or (b) the insurer’s entire net operating profits and realized net capital gains derived during the immediately preceding calendar year, (2) the insurer will have policy holder capital surplus equal to or exceeding 115.0% of the minimum required statutory capital surplus after the dividend or distribution, (3) the insurer files a notice of the dividend or distribution with the FLOIR at least ten business days prior to the dividend payment or distribution and (4) the notice includes a certification by an officer of the insurer attesting that, after the payment of the dividend or distribution, the insurer will have at least 115% of required statutory capital surplus as to policyholders. Except as provided above, a Florida domiciled insurer may only pay a dividend or make a distribution (1) subject to prior approval by the FLOIR or (2) 30 days after the FLOIR has received notice of such dividend or distribution and has not disapproved it within such time.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our insurance subsidiaries paid dividends of $14,000,000 to HCI.
