American Integrity Insurance Group, Inc. (AII)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 delivered solid top-line and underwriting results with net income of $13.2M ($0.67 diluted EPS) and adjusted EPS of $0.71, alongside a combined ratio of 78.9% (vs. 94.3% YoY); revenue was $62.0M and net premiums earned $52.0M .
- AII beat Wall Street consensus: EPS $0.67 vs $0.635 estimate and revenue $62.0M vs $59.9M estimate; higher net investment income and lower expense ratio offset elevated loss ratio driven by reserve development and reinsurance structure mechanics. Bold beats: EPS and revenue. Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
- Policy momentum remains strong (406,094 in-force; +48.6% YoY), aided by Citizens take-outs and voluntary growth; management emphasized disciplined expansion in Tri-County and “middle-aged homes” and launched a Commercial Residential product with modest near-term top-line impact .
- 2026 setup: management expects a favorable reinsurance environment (ample ILS/traditional capacity) and plans to gradually reduce quota share to retain more profitable premium, a potential medium-term margin catalyst .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Scale-to-earnings translation: combined ratio improved to 78.9% (−15.4 pts YoY), driven by a 10+ pt reduction in the expense ratio (24.8% vs. 35.3% YoY), supporting bottom-line growth (net income +192% YoY) .
- Investment income tailwind: net investment income rose 83.8% YoY to $6.9M on higher invested assets driven by in-force premium growth and IPO proceeds, supporting earnings quality .
- Strategic growth lanes: re-entry into Tri-County, focus on middle-aged homes, and launch of Commercial Residential product broaden future addressable market; tone stresses disciplined underwriting and risk management. Quote: “We remain... unwavering in our commitment to disciplined underwriting, prudent risk management, and responsible expansion” .
What Went Wrong
- Higher underlying loss ratio vs. prior year: Q3 underlying loss & LAE ratio rose to 49.9% from 36.4% YoY, with CFO citing quarterly net variability driven by quota share mechanics (no CAT periods can show slightly higher net underlying ratios) and modest unfavorable prior-year reserve development .
- QoQ margin compression: combined ratio worsened to 78.9% vs. 72.9% in Q2 as the loss ratio increased (54.1% vs. 30.6% in Q2), though Q2 included elevated one-time IPO-related expenses in G&A/expense ratio .
- Limited quantitative guidance: no numerical ranges were provided for key P&L lines; investors must rely on qualitative direction on quota share, reinsurance capacity, and growth mix, increasing model uncertainty .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “We delivered another quarter of robust results... Legislative reform in Florida continues to have a profound and positive impact… Our re-entry into the Tri-County region… and focus on middle-aged homes… [and] commercial residential market” .
- “The theme is converting scale into earnings while maintaining discipline… expense ratio decreased by 10 percentage points to 25%… combined ratio was 79%” .
- On reinsurance and quota share: “Capacity and appetite for Florida is ample… expectation to lower our quota share for next year… to keep more of this profitable premium” .
- On commercial residential: “18 months studying… small initial takeout… meaningful, measured, profitable… guarded distribution (65–70 authorized)” .
Q&A Highlights
- Underlying loss ratio mechanics: Net underlying ratio can be higher in quarters without CATs due to quota share structure; YTD gross underlying losses at ~17.4% are on plan; net underlying ~33% if stripping out QS .
- Reserve development: Slightly unfavorable PYD in Q3; ~+$1M YTD unfavorable, viewed as immaterial; E&Y engaged; underlying non-CAT book continues favorable development .
- Growth mix: Middle-aged homes expected to perform in line with pricing/underwriting expectations, albeit not as strong as new construction; Tri-County opportunity is multi-year and increasing voluntary writings .
- Commercial Residential: Hard market with scarce capacity; controlled distributor list; intent is steady, profitable growth rather than top-line needle-mover .
- 2026 outlook: Favorable ILS/traditional cat capacity; management plans to gradually reduce quota share; specifics to be communicated as decisions are finalized .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus for Q3 2025: EPS $0.635 (6 estimates) and revenue $59.92M (2 estimates); actuals: EPS $0.67 and revenue $62.03M. AII beat both metrics (EPS +$0.035; revenue +$2.11M; ~3.5% beat), helped by higher net investment income and a sharply lower expense ratio YoY, partly offset by a higher loss ratio due to reserve development/QS mechanics . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
Where estimates may need to adjust:
- 2026 margin trajectory could improve if quota share is reduced and reinsurance pricing remains favorable; underlying loss trends remain in line gross, but quarterly net variability should be expected due to program structure .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Beat on both EPS and revenue in Q3; operating leverage evident in expense ratio improvement YoY; near-term narrative positive for fundamentals .
- Loss ratio optics are noisier QoQ given PYD and quota share mechanics; evaluate gross underlying loss trends and YTD metrics rather than single-quarter net ratios .
- Medium-term catalysts: potential quota share reduction in 2026 and favorable cat capacity/pricing—both supportive of higher net retention and margins .
- Growth runway: disciplined Tri-County expansion, middle-aged homes, and nascent commercial residential provide multi-year policy growth while maintaining underwriting standards .
- Investment income tailwind persists as invested assets scale post-IPO, augmenting earnings quality amid underwriting expansion .
- Modeling note: Expect quarterly variability in net ratios absent CATs; focus on full-year cadence and disclosures on reinsurance/quota share adjustments at renewal .
