Heritage Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results
Tampa, FL – November 6, 2024: Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRTG) (“Heritage” or the “Company”), a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company, today reported third quarter of 2024 financial results.
Third Quarter 2024 Result Highlights
| • | Net income of $8.2 million or $0.27 per diluted share, improved from net loss of ($7.4) million or ($0.28) per diluted share in the prior year quarter. |
| • | Gross premiums earned of $354.2 million, up 5.1% from $337.0 million in the prior year quarter. |
| • | Net premiums earned of $198.8 million, up 12.6% from $176.6 million in the prior year quarter. |
| • | Net loss ratio of 65.4%, an improvement of 9.0 points from 74.4% in the prior year quarter. |
| • | Net expense ratio of 35.2%, down 1.2 points from 36.4% in the prior year quarter. |
| • | Net combined ratio of 100.6%, an improvement of 10.2 points from 110.8% in the prior year quarter. |
“Our thoughts go out to the many people that were impacted by the devastating hurricanes that affected so many communities across the Southeastern United States.” remarked Ernie Garateix, Heritage CEO. “Our focus has been on providing our policyholders with the support and response that they expect and need as we assist them with their recovery. To accomplish this, we have deployed our resources as well as those of our outsourced providers throughout the affected areas and have participated in numerous insurance hurricane villages, where we meet personally with policyholders to assist with their claims. While the recovery will take time, I am very proud of our employees and their commitment to our policyholders to help them through this challenging time.”
Mr. Garateix continued, “While I am proud of the support that we have provided to our policyholders, I am also very proud of our third quarter financial results which clearly demonstrate the successful execution of our strategic initiatives focused on attaining rate adequacy and improving our underlying portfolio. A core objective of our strategy has been to position Heritage to sustain a hurricane loss while maintaining our profitability. I am pleased to note that even with $48.0 million of retained hurricane losses in the quarter, we have achieved this goal, reporting net income of $8.2 million in the third quarter. That said, we have much more to accomplish as we now pivot our strategy to one of controlled growth. I remain very optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead for our company, employees and shareholders.”
Strategic Profitability Initiatives
Over the past three years the Company has focused on three main strategic initiatives, including:
| • | Generating underwriting profit through rate adequacy and more selective underwriting. |
| • | Allocating capital to products and geographies that maximize long-term returns. |
| • | Maintaining a balanced and diversified portfolio. |
Mr. Garateix added, “Although we will continue to strive for continuous improvement in meeting each of our strategic initiatives, considerable progress has been made as evidenced by our results this quarter. Looking forward, we will continue to focus on these three areas while pivoting our strategy to one of controlled growth with the opening of many geographies that have been closed for the past two years.”
Notable Achievements of Our Strategic Profitability Initiatives Since Launch in 2022
| • | 11 consecutive quarters of achieving in-force premium growth. |
| • | Launched E&S in several states that has now grown to over $45 million of in-force premium. |
| • | Grew the commercial portfolio by over $150 million of in-force premium. |
| • | Achieved rate adequacy in over 80% of total territories and expect to be at 90% in early 2025. |
| • | Reduced exposures in over concentrated areas and in geographies where adequate rates were not achieved. |
| • | Achieved profitability in a quarter marked by two hurricanes with combined losses exceeding one full retention. |
| • | No state makes up over 30% of our total exposures. |
Mr. Garateix, concluded, “Given the improved rate adequacy across our footprint, we organically wrote more new admitted policies in the Southeast and the Northeast compared to the second quarter of 2024 as well as the prior year period as we pursue a controlled growth strategy designed to accelerate our revenue and earnings growth. Importantly, we believe we have the infrastructure in place today to support this expansion which should provide scale benefits over time. We have also seen a reduction in abusive claims practices, which had been driving up insurance premiums in Florida, following the recent enactment of legislative reforms. We believe that the benefits of this legislation will be further demonstrated by the ultimate catastrophe losses from this quarter’s hurricanes with insureds receiving fair settlements and with limited claims abuse, which we expect will have a favorable impact on reinsurance rates.”
Capital Management
Heritage’s Board of Directors has decided to continue its suspension of the quarterly shareholder dividend to prioritize strategic growth and achieve robust return on equity with the business generated. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend distribution and stock repurchases on a quarterly basis. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the quarter.

Ratios
Ceded premium ratio represents ceded premiums as a percentage of gross premiums earned.
Net loss ratio represents net losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) as a percentage of net premiums earned.
Net expense ratio represents policy acquisition costs (“PAC”) and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses as a percentage of net premiums earned. Ceding commission income is reported as a reduction of PAC and G&A expenses.
Net combined ratio represents the sum of net losses and LAE, PAC and G&A expenses as a percentage of net premiums earned. The net combined ratio is a key measure of underwriting performance traditionally used in the property and casualty industry. A combined ratio under 100% generally reflects profitable underwriting results.
Third Quarter 2024 Results:
Third quarter 2024 net income was $8.2 million or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to net loss of ($7.4) million or ($0.28) per diluted share in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the increase in net premiums earned and higher net investment income outpacing the increase in higher acquisition costs, with lower losses and loss adjustment expenses and general expenses. The improvement in net income is attributable to the positive impact of rate actions, underwriting actions, and targeted exposure management taken over the last several years, which continue to favorably impact results. These and other actions resulted in growth of 12.6% in net premiums earned, a 42.7% increase in net investment income, and a 1.0% decrease in net losses and LAE. Policy acquisition costs increased 14.4%, which was attributable to costs that vary with gross premiums written and changes in unearned premium, as well as a reduction in ceding commission income on the net quota share reinsurance contract. General and administrative costs decreased 1.5% driven primarily by human capital and consulting costs, partly offset by a reduction of the benefit of ceding commission income.
Premiums-in-force were $1.4 billion as of third quarter 2024, an increase of 6.0% compared to $1.3 billion as of third quarter 2023. The third quarter 2024 represents our eleventh consecutive quarter of driving higher in-force premium despite reductions in policy count.
Gross premiums written of $313.0 million were up 1.1% from $309.5 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting a higher average premium per policy throughout the book of business. The increase in average premium is driven by rating actions and use of inflation guard, which ensures appropriate property values, partly offset by specific intentional targeted exposure management, which is expected to level.
Gross premiums earned were $354.2 million, up 5.1% from $337.0 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher gross premiums written over the last twelve months as described above.
Net premiums earned were $198.8 million, up 12.6% from $176.6 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher gross premium earned coupled with a reduction in ceded premiums for the quarter, driven by a reduction in ceded premiums associated with the net quota share program.
Ceded premium ratio was 43.9%, down 3.7 points from 47.6% in the prior year quarter driven by growth in gross premiums earned and less ceded premium as described above.
Net loss ratio decreased to 65.4%, a 9.0 point improvement from 74.4% in the same quarter last year reflecting higher net premiums earned, coupled with slightly lower net losses and LAE. The reduction in net losses and LAE was driven primarily by a reduction of attritional losses which was partly offset by higher weather losses and adverse development. Net weather losses for the current accident quarter were $63.0 million, an increase of $11.4 million from $51.6 million in the prior year quarter. Catastrophe losses in the current quarter were $48.7 million compared to $40.1 million in the prior year quarter. Other weather losses totaled $14.3 million, an increase from the prior year quarter amount of $11.5 million. Additionally, the net loss ratio was impacted by net unfavorable loss development of $6.3 million during the third quarter of 2024, compared to net unfavorable loss development of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.
The net expense ratio was 35.2%, a 1.2 point improvement from the prior year quarter amount of 36.4%, driven primarily by the increase in net premiums earned outpacing the increase in higher policy acquisition costs.
Net combined ratio of 100.6% improved 10.2 points from 110.8% in the prior year quarter, driven by a lower net loss ratio and lower net expense ratio as described above.
Net investment income was $9.8 million up 2.9 million from $6.9 million in the prior year quarter reflecting actions to align the investments with the yield curve while maintaining a high quality portfolio of short duration.
The effective tax rate was 9.4% compared to 38.3% in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate for the current year quarter was favorably impacted by updated estimates used in the quarterly tax provision as well as the benefit of interest income received from a previous year’s income tax refund, which lowered income tax expense for the quarter. The effective tax rate for the prior year quarter was impacted by a decrease of $7.2 million in the deferred tax valuation allowance related to tax elections made by Osprey Re, the Company’s captive reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda. The decrease in the valuation allowance in the prior year quarter caused the income tax benefit for the prior year quarter to be higher than the statutory rate. There was no benefit or detriment associated with a valuation allowance in the current year quarter. The impact of permanent tax differences on projected results of operations for the calendar year impacts the effective tax rate, which can also fluctuate throughout the year as estimates used in the quarterly tax provision are updated with additional information.

Book value per share of $9.10 at September 30, 2024, was up 24.8% from fourth quarter 2023 and up 61.1% from third quarter 2023. The increase from the comparable quarter of 2023 is primarily attributable to net income as well as a 60.6% reduction in unrealized losses on the Company’s fixed income securities portfolio. The unrealized losses are unrelated to credit risk but are instead attributable to earlier periods of rising interest rates, with the reduction in unrealized losses driven by lower interest rates in the quarter. The increase in book value per share from December 31, 2023 is attributable to 2024 year-to-date net income as well as a 44.3% reduction in unrealized losses during 2024.
Heritage does not anticipate a need to sell investments in advance of maturity. As such, the Company expects unrealized losses to continue to roll off the portfolio as investments mature. The average duration of the fixed income portfolio is 3.19 years as the Company has extended duration to take advantage of higher yields further out on the yield curve, while still maintaining a short duration high credit quality portfolio.
