The Company distributes a significant portion of its Fronting, Residential Earthquake, Commercial Earthquake, and Hawaii Hurricane products through two program administrators. Each of the products managed by the program administrators operates as a separate program that is governed by an independent, separately negotiated agreement with unique terms and conditions, including geographic scope, key men provisions, economics and exclusivity. These programs also feature separate managerial oversight and leadership, policy administration systems and retail agents originating policies. In total, these products accounted for $417.5 million or 47.3% of the Company’s gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2022, $255.8 million or 48.2% of the Company’s gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2021, and $191.3 million or 54.0% of the Company’s gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2020.
