3 Executive Summary • 1Q-25 Results • Non-GAAP Core Income of $20.7m ($0.42) decreased $3.7m (-15.3%) from $m ($0.50) y/y on higher policy acquisition costs (PAC) due to lower ceding commission income, offset by lower ceded earned premiums resulting from the step down of the 40% gross CAT quota share effective 6.1.2023 to 20% effective 6.1.2024. • Net premiums earned grew $5.7m (+9.0%) to $68.3m y/y. • Our combined ratio of 65.0% increased from 53.2% last year due to higher PAC and our Non-GAAP underlying combined ratio (which excludes current catastrophe losses and PY development) was 68.2% which increased from 52.9% in the prior year also due to a higher expense ratio but was in-line with our target of 65.0%. • We experienced no catastrophe losses in the quarter and had $2.2m of favorable prior year reserve development. • Stockholders’ equity attributable to ACIC, increased $25.2 million from December 31, 2024, to $260.9m or $5.40 per share and $5.67 per share excluding unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income. Tangible book value per share increased to $4.06 per share. • Other Highlights • The company completed the sale of Interboro Insurance Company on April 1, 2025, generating over $26 million of cash to the holding company. • The commercial property insurance market in Florida continued to soften during the first quarter of 2025 with average premium in-force decreasing -3.1%, but account retention remained strong at 88.4% leading to growth in policies, premiums, and total insured values compared to December 31, 2024. • Significant progress was made on the Company’s Core Catastrophe reinsurance program renewal. We are seeing strong demand to support our risk transfer needs and expect to announce more details on or about June 1, 2025.

6 1Q-25 Operating Overview While Net Income decreased y/y our results remain strong and combined ratio remains at target.
