1 Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the attached tables. Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share and core revenue exclude net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes the items above and interest and amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted book value per share excludes accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Adjusted ROCE is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders by average adjusted book value per share, with the denominator further excluding current period after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments.

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income

Net income available to common stockholders was $66.6 million, up from net income of $6.0 million in the prior year quarter, and adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $63.3 million, up from adjusted net income of $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. The higher adjusted net income available to common stockholders mostly stems from a lower net loss ratio and higher net premiums earned and net investment income.

Revenues

Revenue was $407.9 million, up 6.0% from the prior year quarter and core revenue was $403.6 million, up 4.4% from the prior year quarter. The increase in core revenue primarily stems from higher net premiums earned and net investment income.

Direct premiums written were $483.7 million, up 2.7% from the prior year quarter. The increase stems from 18.2% growth in other states, partly offset by a 3.1% decrease in Florida. Overall growth mostly reflects higher policies in force and inflation adjustments across our multi-state footprint.

Direct premiums earned were $538.0 million, up 3.6% from the prior year quarter. The increase stems from direct premiums written growth over the past twelve months.

The ceded premium ratio was 32.4%, down from 32.9% in the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily reflects higher reinsurance spend in the prior year quarter.

Net premiums earned were $363.4 million, up 4.3% from the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to higher direct premiums earned and a lower ceded premium ratio, as described above.

Net investment income was $19.0 million, up from $15.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from higher fixed income reinvestment yields and higher invested assets.

Commissions, policy fees and other revenue were $21.2 million, down 5.9% from the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily reflects higher reinsurance spend in the prior year quarter.

Margins

The operating income margin was 22.1%, up from an operating income margin of 2.3% in the prior year quarter. The adjusted operating income margin was 21.2%, up from an adjusted operating income margin of 2.7% in the prior year quarter. The higher adjusted operating income margin primarily stems from a lower net loss ratio and higher core revenue.

The net loss ratio was 61.3%, down 21.0 points compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease reflects better current accident year results and the inclusion of Hurricane Milton in the prior year quarter.

The net expense ratio was 26.2%, up 0.6 points from 25.6% in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher other operating costs.

The net combined ratio was 87.5%, down 20.4 points compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease reflects a lower net loss ratio, slightly offset by a higher net expense ratio, as described above.

Capital Deployment

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 210 thousand shares at an aggregate cost of $6.9 million.

On January 7, 2026, the Company announced a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $20 million of its outstanding shares of common stock through January 8, 2028.

On February 4, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of 16 cents per share of common stock, payable March 13, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 6, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including core revenue, adjusted net income available to common stockholders and diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per common share, which exclude the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) margin exclude the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments and interest and amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted common stockholders’ equity and adjusted book value per share exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), net of taxes. Adjusted return on common equity excludes after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments from the numerator and AOCI, net of taxes, and current period after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments from the denominator. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). UVE management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful, as they allow investors to evaluate underlying revenue and profitability trends and enhance comparability across periods. When considered together with the GAAP financial measures, management believes these metrics provide information that is useful to investors in understanding

period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. UVE management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze UVE’s business trends and to understand UVE’s operational performance. UVE’s management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in long-term planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information regarding our key performance indicators, please refer to the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Key Performance Indicators” in our forthcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Such statements may include commentary on plans, products and lines of business, marketing arrangements, reinsurance programs, other business developments, projections, and estimates, and assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Important factors that could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•we may face significant losses, and our financial results may vary from period to period, due to exposure to catastrophic events and severe weather conditions, the frequency and severity of which could be affected by climate change;

•if we fail to adequately price the risks we underwrite and/or the estimates we make, or if emerging trends outpace our ability to adjust prices timely, or if we lose desirable exposures to competitors by overpricing our risks, we may experience underwriting losses depleting surplus at the Insurance Entities and capital at the holding company;

•unanticipated increases in the severity or frequency of claims adversely affect our profitability and financial condition;

•the failure of the risk mitigation strategies we utilize could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations; and

•the risks and uncertainties, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and supplemented in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For further information regarding risk factors that could affect the Company’s operations and future results, refer to the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the most recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
