Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
FedNat Holding Company (the "Company") estimates, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, that catastrophe losses incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 will reduce its first quarter pre-tax income by $8.7 million, which represents our catastrophe loss, net of all recoveries, including reinsurance. Gross catastrophe losses in the quarter amounted to approximately $11.0 million, including $3.5 million from FedNat Insurance Company (“FNIC")'s non-Florida property business. The non-Florida losses are subject to a 50% profit-sharing agreement with the non-affiliated managing general underwriter that writes FNIC’s non-Florida property business. These catastrophe losses arose primarily from several wind, thunderstorms and hail related severe weather events, which impacted Florida, Texas and Louisiana during the first quarter.
The Company's catastrophic reinsurance protection in place through June 30, 2020 provides coverage on each event if covered gross losses thereon exceed $20 million for FNIC's Florida and non-Florida business. The retention amounts are $5 million and $2 million for the businesses of Maison Insurance Company and Monarch National Insurance Company, respectively. The Company does not anticipate that any of the individual events in this quarter will reach these retention levels.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby intended to be furnished and, as provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, such information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
