•Revenues increased 11.7% for the quarter and 23.9% for the year driven by premium growth in specialty E&S and admitted lines. Excluding the impact of investment gains and losses, revenues increased by 13.2% for the quarter and 23.0% for the year.

•The combined ratio for the quarter was 89.5%, down 0.3 percentage points, reflecting the consistent underwriting performance and scalability of the Company’s operations.

•Fortegra’s total stockholders’ equity was $625.5 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $452.6 million as of December 31, 2023, with the increase driven by net income and the aggregate capital contribution from Tiptree, Warburg and Fortegra directors of $40 million, partially offset by an increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss position.

•Tiptree Capital income before taxes was $2.8 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $2.1 million in Q4'23, driven by improvement in our mortgage operations. For the year, income before taxes was $4.6 million, compared to a loss of $6.5 million in 2023, with the comparative improvement driven by improvement in our mortgage operations and a reduction of investment losses on Invesque.

•Mortgage income before taxes was $3.5 million for the quarter, as compared to a loss of $2.4 million in Q4'23, and an income of $4.7 million for the year, as compared to a loss of $3.3 million in 2023, driven by higher origination volumes and loan servicing fees, and unrealized gains on our mortgage servicing asset.

Corporate:

Corporate includes expenses of the holding company for employee compensation and benefits, audit and professional fees, and public company and other expenses. For the quarter, corporate expenses were $8.5 million compared to $12.1 million in Q4'23 driven by a decline in incentive compensation accruals.

Non-GAAP

Management uses Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity as measurements of operating performance. Management believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance and comparison among companies. Management uses Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital. Adjusted net income represents income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting, all of which is reduced for non-controlling interests. Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity are presented before the impacts of non-controlling interests. Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of these measures to their GAAP equivalents.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity

Adjusted net income is defined as income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting, all of which is reduced for non-controlling interests. The calculation of adjusted net income excludes net realized and unrealized gains (losses) that relate to investments or assets rather than business operations. Adjusted net income is presented before the impacts of non-controlling interests. Adjusted return on average equity represents adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. Management uses Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital. We believe adjusted net income provides additional clarity on the results of the Company’s underlying business operations as a whole for the periods presented by excluding distortions created by the unpredictability and volatility of realized and unrealized gains (losses). We also believe adjusted net income provides useful supplemental information to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance between periods and for comparison among companies.
