Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2026
- We target small to mid-sized businesses, as we believe this market is traditionally characterized by higher profitability and longer retention.
- We continue to invest in technology to automate business processes and further develop our data analytics and artificial intelligence capabilities, which we believe will enable us to reduce our operating costs over the long-term and support our future needs.
- We believe our technology is a strategic advantage that saves our distribution partners and policyholders considerable time and maintains our competitiveness in our target markets.
- We believe that our loss estimates are adequate; however, ultimate losses will not be known with any certainty for many years.
- Our current accident year loss and LAE ratios continue to reflect the impact of key business initiatives, including: an emphasis on accelerated settlements of open claims; further diversifying risk exposure across geographic markets, when appropriate; and leveraging data-driven strategies to target, underwrite, and price profitable classes of business across all of our markets.
- Our calendar year loss and LAE ratio is analyzed to measure profitability in a particular year and to evaluate the adequacy of premium rates charged in a particular year to cover expected losses and LAE from all periods, including development (whether favorable or adverse) of reserves established in prior periods.
- We believe that our total capital position remains strong and that the liquidity available to EHI and its subsidiaries remains adequate and will be sufficient for our financing needs in the next 12 months and in the longer-term period thereafter.
- We believe that our subsidiaries’ liquidity needs over the next 12 months and for the longer-term period thereafter will be met with cash from operations, investment income, and maturing investments.
- We use trend and variance analyses to project future cash needs, making adjustments to our cash forecasts as appropriate.
- The declaration and payment of future dividends to our stockholders, including any special dividends, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors (Board) and will depend upon many factors including our financial position, capital requirements of our operating subsidiaries, legal and regulatory requirements, and any other factors that our Board deems relevant.
- Future repurchases of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon many factors, including our financial position, capital requirements of our operating subsidiaries, general business and socioeconomic conditions, legal, tax, regulatory, and/or contractual restrictions, and any other factors that our Board deems relevant.
- Our calculation of loss and LAE expense payments by period is subject to the same uncertainties associated with determining the level of reserves and to the additional uncertainties arising from the difficulty of predicting when claims (including claims that have not yet been reported to us) will be paid.
