E&S color, buyback hints
Q&A fleshed out E&S expansion: ACES pending Arizona approval, targeting under 5% of 2026 revenue as initial reinsurer; AmRisc quota share adds $100 million full-year premiums from nationwide portfolio. Margins outside Florida should trail Florida's but deliver acceptable returns on capital. Debt falls to $50-75 million at 2027 maturity; buybacks gain traction as stock looks undervalued, though special dividends stay priority post-hurricane season. Premiums rebounded 59% quarter-over-quarter despite 19% year-over-year drop from falling rates—management shrugged off growth qualms, reaffirming 2026 revenue guidance. Buybacks now merit consideration. Team sounded disciplined yet optimistic on reinsurance renewals.
