The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Russell commented "The year ended December 31, 2025 marked the Company's third consecutive year of increased net income from our insurance operations. Despite a year beginning with uncertainty around tariffs, a marked increase in loss severity and a broadly challenged consumer economy, we managed to sustain and grow our profitability through our transition to an independent agency model with a predominantly variable cost structure. We look forward to continued profitability along with the continuation of our efforts to diversify our product distribution. The 15% increase in net income year-over-year and a tangible book value over $5.40 a share are a testament to the strength of our Company and how we are positioned to continue to capitalize on our growing independent agency distribution platform, disciplined underwriting execution, and scalable, variable-cost operating model."
