OXBRIDGE RE HOLDINGS Ltd (OXBR)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 revenue was $0.645M and diluted EPS was -$0.02; both missed S&P Global consensus estimates of $0.742M revenue and -$0.01 EPS, driven by elevated operating costs tied to Web3/tokenization, IR, S-3, HR, and legal expenses. The quarter-over-quarter improvement in loss profile versus Q2 reflects the absence of Hurricane Milton losses in Q3, with the nine-month loss ratio still elevated at 132.4% due to the full-limit loss recognized in Q2 . EPS and revenue estimates marked with an asterisk below were retrieved from S&P Global.*
- Year-over-year net loss narrowed to -$0.187M from -$0.540M in Q3 2024 on reduced unrealized losses and modestly lower premium rates; however, the expense ratio rose to 146.8% vs. 83.7% last year, lifting the combined ratio to 146.8% for the quarter .
- Restricted cash and cash equivalents increased to $7.18M (+21.7% vs. 12/31/24) supported by premium deposits and a $2.7M registered direct offering; management reiterated fully collateralized underwriting and no leverage, emphasizing discipline and transparency .
- Potential stock reaction catalysts: management is evaluating a shift to regular dividend payouts on security-backed CatRe tokens (moving away from purely annual payouts), and continued high-profile RWA/Web3 ecosystem engagement and partnerships that could broaden distribution .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Tokenized reinsurance performance exceeded targets: Balanced Yield Token (EtaCat Re) tracking ~25% vs. 20% target; High Yield Token (ZetaCat Re) on track for 42% target. “Our RWA tokenized reinsurance program is delivering attractive, high-quality, uncorrelated returns… while broadening investor participation.” — Jay Madhu .
- Year-over-year loss narrowed: Q3 2025 net loss -$0.187M vs. -$0.540M in Q3 2024, primarily due to reduced unrealized losses on other investments .

What Went Wrong

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Elevated operating costs are the primary overhang; watch for normalization of IR/Web3/S-3/HR/legal spend to bring the expense ratio down toward historical levels and support underwriting profitability .
- Hurricane Milton’s impact is contained to Q2; Q3 showed a 0% quarterly loss ratio, but nine-month metrics remain pressured; sequential trends should improve absent new catastrophe losses .
- Token performance is a bright spot with ~25% tracking for balanced yield and 42% for high yield; adoption could be enhanced if management moves to regular token dividends, improving investor engagement and cash flow cadence .
- Liquidity strengthened (restricted cash $7.18M), supported by premium deposits and equity raise; this provides runway for underwriting and product initiatives .
- Coverage remains thin (one estimate), increasing the potential for outsized stock reactions on incremental disclosures; proactive monitoring of 8-Ks/press releases and RWA partnerships is warranted [GetEstimates: EPS/Revenue - # of Estimates = 1]*.
- Near-term trading: Focus on expense trendlines and any updates on token dividend policy and distribution partnerships (e.g., Plume/Midnight) as catalysts .
- Medium-term thesis: If Oxbridge can sustain disciplined, fully collateralized underwriting (no leverage) and scale compliant tokenized reinsurance distribution, it can diversify revenue and smooth catastrophe volatility, but execution on cost control and risk selection remains critical .
