Result Drivers
VOLUNTARY MARKET GROWTH - Increase in net premiums earned was primarily driven by growth in voluntary market writings, including higher new and renewal business, especially in the Tri-County region and middle-aged homes in Florida
CITIZENS TAKE-OUT WINDDOWN - Decrease in adjusted net income was mainly due to a smaller windfall from the Citizens take-out program compared to the prior year
REINSURANCE STRUCTURE CHANGE - Reduction in non-catastrophe quota share reinsurance from 40% to 25% led to lower ceding commissions and higher expenses
