Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Operating Summary

Net income in Q4 of $6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to a $44 million net income in Q4 of last year which included a $46 million one-time gain on sale. The drivers of this improvement included growth and the improved underwriting results. For the full year 2025 net income was $58 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, compared to a $41 million net loss in 2024. The drivers of this improvement included improved underwriting results and the gain on the sale of the home builder distribution network.

Adjusted net income of $18 million, or $0.67 per diluted share in Q4, compared to a $15 million adjusted net income Q4 of last year. This quarter's results equate to a 16% annualized adjusted return on average shareholders' equity. For the full year 2025 adjusted net income was $18 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to a $20 million adjusted net loss in 2024. The full year's results equate to a 4% annualized adjusted return on average shareholders' equity.

Total Hippo shareholders' equity of $436 million, or $16.97 per share, at December 31, 2025, was up 20%, from $362 million, or $14.56 per share, at year-end 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the gain on sale of our homebuilder distribution network and improved underwriting, which more than off-set the underwriting loss and the share buyback.

Gross written premium of $288 million grew by 40% compared to the prior year quarter. Growth was driven primarily by Casualty and Commercial Multi-Peril (CMP) lines which were up 169% and 58% over the prior year period, to $88 million and $65 million, respectively. This expansion more than off-set a 5%, or $5 million, reduction in the Homeowners line year over year. For full year 2025, gross written premium expanded by 24% over the prior year to $1.1 billion. This growth was led by Casualty up 92% over the prior year to $264 million, and CMP up 75% over the prior year to $265 million, making CMP the second largest line of business after Homeowners which was down 10% to $379 million for the year. The overall growth strategy is focused on underwriting profitability and reduced volatility, which includes increased portfolio diversification. For the year, Homeowners, the largest line on a gross written premium basis, accounted for 34% of the total, down from 47% in the prior year, while CMP accounted for 24% of GWP in the quarter compared to 17% in 2024.

Net written premium for the quarter of $97 million grew by $18 million or 23% from Q4 of last year. The main driver of this growth was the Renters and CMP lines, which grew by $13 million and $4 million, respectively year over year. Net written premium for the year of $422 million grew by $50 million or 13% over last year. The main driver of this growth was Renters which grew by $76 million and CMP lines which grew by $37 million, more than off-setting the $52 million contraction in Homeowners.

Net loss ratio in the quarter of 46% represented a 12 percentage points improvement over the prior year quarter. This improvement was driven primarily by the lack of meaningful catastrophe (CAT) losses in the quarter compared to Q4 of last year. The net accident year loss ratio excluding CAT losses of 46% was a 9 percentage points improvement over the 54% in Q4 of last year. Net loss ratio of 60% for the full year was a 17 percentage points improvement over the prior year. This improvement was driven by both lower CAT loss and non-CAT losses compared to 2024. The net accident year loss ratio excluding CAT losses of 48% improved by over 10 percentage points over 58% in Q4 of last year.

Combined ratio of 99% for the quarter improved 8 percentage points over the prior year, similarly benefitting from improved underwriting results more than off-setting slightly elevated expenses. This change in expenses primarily resulted from the home builder network sale and one-time CAT allowance chargeback in 4Q24. For full year 2025 a combined ratio of 113% was improved by 25 points compared to 138% in 2024, driven by a 17 percentage point lower loss ratio and a 8 percentage point lower expense ratio.

Net income was $6 million for the fourth quarter compared to $44 million in the prior year quarter which benefited from a $46 million gain on the sale of First Connect. For the full year 2025 net income was $58 million including a $91 million net gain on the sale of the Home Builder Distribution Network compared to a net loss of $41 million in 2024.

Underwriting Data

The Company has a single reportable segment and offers property & casualty insurance products. Gross written premiums (GWP) by largest states, and the Gross written premiums (GWP), Net written premiums (NWP), and Net earned premiums (NEP) by line of business are presented below:

Information about Key Operating Metrics/Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as net income (loss) excluding the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook, net of tax impact. We calculate the tax impact only on adjustments which would be included in calculating our income tax expense using the estimated tax rate at which the Company received a deduction for these adjustments.

We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for, as applicable, (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) the impact of other non-cash fair market value adjustments, (iv) impairment and restructuring related expenses, (v) gain or loss on the sale of a business, and (vi) other one-off transactions, which primarily include certain legal fees and settlement costs, that we consider to be unique in nature, net of tax impact. We exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-cash fair market value adjustments, because these are non-cash expenses or non-cash fair value adjustments and we believe that excluding these items provides meaningful information regarding performance and ongoing cash-generation potential. We exclude impairment and restructuring related expenses, gain or loss on sale of business, and other one-off transactions because such expenses are periodic in nature and have no direct correlation to the cost of operating our business on an ongoing basis that we consider to be unique in nature.

Management uses this measure evaluate our underlying business performance. Adjusted net income (loss) does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.

Diluted Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share is a non‑GAAP financial measure defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period, reflecting the dilution which could occur if equity-based awards are converted into common share equivalents as calculated using the treasury stock method. Management uses this measure to assess performance on a per-share basis across periods. Diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share should not be viewed as a substitute for diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share differently.

Annualized adjusted return on equity is a non‑GAAP financial measure defined as adjusted net income (loss) expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders' equity during the period. Management uses this measure to evaluate capital efficiency and returns generated on deployed capital. Annualized adjusted return on equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on equity calculated using unadjusted GAAP numbers, and other companies may define adjusted return on equity differently.

Tangible Book Value Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as total stockholders' equity, less intangible assets and capitalized internal use software, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Management uses this measure to evaluate changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets in order to assess capital position and balance sheet strength. Tangible book value per share should not be viewed as a substitute for book value per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define tangible book value per share differently.

These Non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterpart is included above. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Hippo.
