Company Guidance

Management said it is currently premature to provide any revenue or earnings guidance for 2027 and expects to preview revenue and profitability metrics in January, but its guess is that it will demonstrate “some nice top line growth year-over-year when comparing '27 to '26” in gross premiums written, gross premiums earned, net premiums earned and total revenues; fee income growth is expected to begin in 2027, the PAC ratio is “not going to move all that dramatically next year,” and revenue growth is possible even with a “double-digit rate decrease next year.” The company expects to produce and underwrite its first new E&S property insurance policies “on or about the end of the 2026 hurricane season,” may bind some new business in December, and said price declines next year will moderate, with a “20% year-over-year decline” not sustainable and a “very, very similar, if not greater offset” from the change in reinsurance cost. ACIC will not require additional capital for its primary goal of earnings growth, may return excess capital through a special dividend assuming no significant catastrophe losses occur in the fourth quarter, and said managing $100 million of ACES capital with reinsurance could avoid raising additional capital; exceeding ACES’s capital capacity is “certainly possible” but “beyond 5 years.”
