Exhibit 99.1
Comment from Chief Executive Officer, Dan Peed: “The second quarter continued to demonstrate the strength of American Coastal Insurance Company’s (“American Coastal”) portfolio. Our commercial lines segment ended the quarter with favorable reserve development, a trend that continues as a result of our strong partnerships with leading industry insurance professionals, and strategic efforts to manage loss costs. Our core return on equity at June 30 was 310.7% with core income of $28.4 million. While we saw a modest loss in our personal lines segment, Interboro experienced lower underlying combined ratios. Nevertheless, we continue our efforts to divest Interboro and further the group’s transition to a specialty insurer.” Peed continued, “during the second quarter we successfully completed our 2023-2024 catastrophe reinsurance program while maintaining American Coastal’s coverage at approximately the 1-in167-year event and $10 million retention per occurrence for first event coverage. The Company also rejoined the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 Index. We are optimistic about the future and steadfastly work to maintain our number one market share in Florida Condominium Associations. Finally, as announced on July 27 th, we changed our name to American Coastal Insurance Corporation, and effective August 15 th we will begin trading under the ticker symbol ACIC.”

Exhibit 99.1
Quarterly Financial Results
Net income attributable to the Company for the second quarter of 2023 was $18.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $69.0 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Of this income, $22.6 million is attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $16.8 million from net income of $5.8 million for the same period in 2022. Drivers of net income from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2023 included increased gross premiums earned, a decrease in our provision for taxes driven by the recognition of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during 2022 that did not reoccur in 2023. and decreases in both operating and administrative costs, as described below. This was partially offset by increases in loss and LAE driven by increased catastrophe losses and increased policy acquisition costs, as described below. In addition to continuing operations, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $4.4 million, driven by the deconsolidation of activities related directly to supporting the business conducted by UPC.
The Company's total gross written premium increased by $36.3 million, or 17.5%, to $243.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, from $207.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in our commercial premiums written, as we focus on transitioning towards a specialty commercial lines underwriter. The breakdown of the quarter-over-quarter changes in both direct written and assumed premiums by state and gross written premium by line of business are shown in the table below.

(1) We are no longer writing in Texas or South Carolina as of May 31, 2022.
(2) Assumed premium written for 2023 primarily included commercial property business assumed from unaffiliated insurers. Assumed premium written for 2022 primarily included personal property business assumed from our former subsidiary, UPC.
Loss and LAE increased by $6.9 million, or 49.3%, to $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, from $14.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums increased 3.4 points to 25.1% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 21.7% for the second quarter of 2022. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, the Company's gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the second quarter of 2023 would have been 12.3%, a decrease of 3.2 points from 15.5% during the second quarter of 2022.
Policy acquisition costs increased by $1.9 million, or 8.1%, to $25.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, from $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in external management fees incurred related to an increase in our commercial lines gross written premium during the second quarter of 2023. In addition, we experienced increases in agent commissions, policy administration fees and premium taxes driven by increased written premium quarter-over-quarter. These increases were partially offset by an increase in reinsurance commission income driven by our quota share coverage entered into in the second quarter of 2023 in our commercial lines business.

Exhibit 99.1
Operating and underwriting expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 13.2%, to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, from $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreased investments in technology quarter-over-quarter.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 19.5%, to $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, from $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, driven by a decrease in salary related expenses attributable to decreased headcount quarter-over-quarter. In addition, costs for professional services provided by external vendors decreased quarter-over-quarter.
Commercial Lines Operating Segment Highlights
Pre-tax earnings attributable to the Company's commercial lines operating segment totaled $25.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $18.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. This increase can be attributed to increased gross premiums earned of $32.6 million, as the Company transitions towards becoming a specialty commercial lines underwriter.
This increased premium was partially offset by increased policy acquisition costs of $3.6 million, driven by increases in external management fees as a result of the increased premiums, partially offset by reinsurance commission income earned. In addition, Loss and LAE incurred increased $8.1 million, driven by ongoing handling of prior year catastrophe losses. Operating and underwriting and general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat, with a net increase of $584 thousand experienced quarter-over-quarter.
Personal Lines Operating Segment Highlights
Pre-tax loss attributable to the Company's personal lines operating segment totaled $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to a pre-tax loss of $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2022. Drivers of the quarter-over-quarter decrease in pre-tax loss included: a decrease in administrative costs of $1.5 million, driven by decreased salary related expenses and costs for professional services provided by external vendors, a decrease in policy acquisition costs of $1.6 million driven by ceding commission income earned, partially offset by increased agent commission and policy administration costs, a decrease in loss and LAE incurred of $1.2 million due to decreased non-catastrophe losses and a decrease in operating expenses of $938 thousand driven by decreased investments in technology and underwriting expenses. This was partially offset by a $3.9 million decrease in gross premiums earned quarter-over-quarter. All of these changes can be attributed to the Company's shift towards becoming a specialty commercial lines underwriter, resulting in reduced writings, exposure, and lower costs associated with the servicing of this business.
Reinsurance Costs as a Percentage of Gross Earned Premium
Reinsurance costs as a percentage of gross earned premium in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

| 2023 |  | 2022
Non-at-Risk | (0.5) | % |  | (0.6) | %
Quota Share | (14.4) | % |  | (14.2) | %
All Other | (32.5) | % |  | (35.4) | %
Total Ceding Ratio | (47.4) | % |  | (50.2) | %

Ceded premiums earned related to the Company's catastrophe program decreased, driven by the need for less coverage for the 2023-2024 treaty year for the reduction in the geographic footprint and exposure, as well as the utilization of quota share reinsurance coverage for our commercial lines operating segment.

Investment Portfolio Highlights
The Company's cash, restricted cash and investment holdings decreased from $340.9 million at December 31, 2022 to $241.7 million at June 30, 2023. The Company's cash and investment holdings consist of investments in U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt and investment grade money market instruments. Fixed maturities represented approximately 97.8% of total investments at June 30, 2023 compared to 91% of total investments at December 31, 2022. The Company's fixed maturity investments had a modified duration of 4.1 years at June 30, 2023 compared to 4.0 years at December 31, 2022.
Book Value Analysis
Book value per common share increased 158.3% from $(4.21) at December 31, 2022, to $2.45 at June 30, 2023. Underlying book value per common share increased 184.2% from $(3.49) at December 31, 2022 to $2.94 at June 30, 2023. An increase in the Company's retained earnings as the result of net income from both continuing and discontinued operations in the first half of 2023 drove the increase in the Company's book value per share. As shown in the table below, removing the effect of AOCI increases the Company's book value per common share, as the Company has experienced unfavorable capital market conditions resulting in an accumulated other comprehensive loss position at June 30, 2023.

Exhibit 99.1
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company believes that investors' understanding of ACIC's performance is enhanced by the Company's disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. The Company's methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Net income (loss) excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets, income (loss) from discontinued operations, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net of tax (core income (loss)) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by adding amortization, net of tax, to net income (loss) and subtracting income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, realized gains (losses) on the Company's investment portfolio, net of tax, and unrealized gains (losses) on the Company's equity securities, net of tax, from net income (loss). Amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired, including goodwill, through mergers and, therefore, the expense does not arise through normal operations. Investment portfolio gains (losses) and unrealized equity security gains (losses) vary independent of the Company's operations. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). The core income (loss) measure should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Core return on equity is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the core income (loss) for the period by the average stockholders’ equity for the trailing twelve months (or one quarter of such average, in the case of quarterly periods). Core income (loss) is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that is calculated by excluding from net income (loss) the effect of income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, non-cash amortization of intangible assets, including goodwill, unrealized gains or losses on the Company's equity security investments and net realized gains or losses on the Company's investment portfolio. In the opinion of the Company’s management, core income (loss), core income (loss) per share and core return on equity are meaningful indicators to investors of the Company's underwriting and operating results, since the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Internally, the Company’s management uses core income (loss), core income (loss) per share and core return on equity to evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial targets on a consolidated basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on equity. The core return on equity measure should not be considered a substitute for return on equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year development from the combined ratio. The Company believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to highlight the trends in the Company's business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause the Company's loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their frequency of occurrence and severity and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from net loss and LAE. The Company uses underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze the Company's loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on the Company's reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on the Company's loss trends in a given period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.

Exhibit 99.1
Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss (underlying book value per common share), is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing common stockholders' equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. The Company uses the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic and financial factors that are not influenced by management. Book value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share and does not reflect the recorded net worth of the Company's business.
