3 • Q4-2021 Results • Core loss of -$1.0m (-$0.02 per share) compared favorably to -$58.1m (-$1.35 per share) last year due to lower net retained losses from catastrophe events. • Stockholders’ equity attributable to UIHC at 12.31.2021 was $312.4m ($7.20 per share) with tangible book value per share of $5.10. • Risk based capital projected to be at or above 300% for all statutory carriers as of 12.31.2021. • Other Highlights • Entry into a renewal rights and quota share reinsurance agreement to transfer all risk of loss for the Southeast region. • Successful renewal of All Other Perils (AOP) catastrophe reinsurance program with retention unchanged at $15m. • Exposure reduction and renewal rate increases continued to trend favorably producing more premium relative to risk. Executive Summary


 
Q4-2021 Results 4 Core earnings improved dramatically from last year’s -$58m loss to nearly break-even. • We labeled 2021 a transition year because we significantly increased our reinsurance spend to de-risk and de-leverage our portfolio. • Ceded premiums hurt Q4 results, but our lower risk retention and operating leverage combined with improving underwriting metrics now have us better positioned for the long-term.
