The significant 2026 net loss is due to non-cash transitional costs from the Markel fronting arrangement, not operational deterioration. Traders should focus on the strong underlying growth (15-16% written premium growth) and stable adjusted EBITDA ($236-247 million), which indicate improving fundamentals. The market may initially react negatively to the net loss, creating a potential buying opportunity for investors focused on long-term profitability.

The company guided for 15-16% written premium growth in 2026 but expects a net loss due to $190 million in transitional costs from its new 100% quota share arrangement with Markel, which will enhance long-term profitability and operational control.
