On May 18, 2023, Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing details regarding its placement of its 2023-2024 indemnity-based, catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance program for its statutory insurance subsidiaries, Heritage Property Casualty Insurance Company, Narragansett Bay Insurance Company and Zephyr Insurance Company.
Key points of the 2023-2024 catastrophe reinsurance program include:
| • | Total consolidated cost of approximately $420.5 million, accounting for 32% of March 31, 2023, premiums-in-force, one point higher than the prior year cost which accounted for 31% of March 31, 2022, premium-in-force. |
| • | First event reinsurance tower exhaustion points of $1.3 billion for the Northeast, $1.1 billion in the Southeast and $870 million in Hawaii. |
| • | The program includes $120 million Northeast only limit and $115 million of combined Northeast/Hawaii limit from the 2023 catastrophe bonds issued by a Bermuda-domiciled special purpose vehicle, Citrus Re Ltd., which provides multi-year reinsurance protection. Both bonds received authorizations above the initial targeted limits and at the lowest end of the pricing guidance. This is in addition to the $100 million limit of the 2022 in-force Northeast only catastrophe bond. |
| • | The first event consolidated loss retention for the Southeast and Hawaii of approximately $40 million, and $30 million in the Northeast. Individual insurance companies will be less given the use of our captive reinsurance company, Osprey Re. |
| • | Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund participation of 90%, consistent with the prior year program. |
| • | The entire program is indemnity based, with no parametric covers. |
| • | Includes the use of Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders (RAP) program created by the Florida legislature in 2022 and is expected to provide limit of approximately $71 million at no cost to the Company. The RAP program was deferred last year because our 2022-2023 placement was completed without this program. |
