See Note 12 for additional information regarding the acquisition. Considerable variability is inherent in the estimate of the reserve for losses and LAE. Although management believes the liability recorded for losses and LAE is adequate, the variability inherent in this estimate could result in changes to the ultimate liability, which may be material to stockholders’ equity. The Company experienced favorable prior year development of $6.1 million and favorable prior year development of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company experienced favorable prior year development of $17.0 million and favorable prior year development of $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Favorable prior year development during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was primarily due to lower than anticipated severity of attritional losses. Favorable prior year development during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was primarily due to lower than anticipated severity of attritional losses.
