Insights

Palomar delivered exceptional Q2 results with 29% premium growth and 52% adjusted net income growth, demonstrating strong execution of their diversification strategy.

Palomar Holdings delivered remarkable growth in Q2 2025, with gross written premiums increasing 28.8% to $496.3 million and adjusted net income jumping 51.8% to $48.5 million. This performance translated to diluted EPS of $1.68 and adjusted EPS of $1.76, significantly outpacing the prior year.

The insurer's underwriting discipline remains excellent, evidenced by a 73.1% adjusted combined ratio that matches last year's performance despite challenging market conditions. The total loss ratio increased slightly to 25.7% from 24.9% year-over-year, but notably, the company had 0% catastrophe losses this quarter compared to 2.8% last year.

The balance sheet continues to strengthen, with stockholders' equity reaching $847.2 million, up 59% from $532.6 million a year ago. This capital position supported an impressive 23.7% adjusted return on equity, slightly down from 24.7% last year but still exceptional for the insurance sector.

Management's confidence is apparent in two significant decisions: raising full-year adjusted net income guidance to $198-208 million (up from $195-205 million) and authorizing a substantial $150 million share repurchase program. The company also secured favorable reinsurance terms with an adjusted rate decrease of approximately 10%, which should support profit margins through 2026.

Palomar's diversified approach across property, casualty, and specialty lines appears to be paying dividends, as their balanced portfolio helps mitigate catastrophe exposure while capturing growth opportunities. The investment portfolio performance also contributed significantly, with net investment income jumping 68% to $13.4 million, benefiting from higher interest rates and increased assets under management.

Palomar's zero catastrophe losses and 10% reinsurance rate reduction demonstrate exceptional risk management while driving 29% premium growth.

Palomar's Q2 results highlight their superior catastrophe exposure management, achieving the rare feat of a 0% catastrophe loss ratio during a quarter that typically sees heightened natural disaster activity. This exceptional risk selection and underwriting discipline stands in stark contrast to many property insurers struggling with climate-related losses.

The company's reinsurance strategy deserves particular attention. Securing a 10% rate reduction in their June 1 renewal represents a significant achievement in a market where many competitors face rate increases or capacity constraints. This favorable reinsurance structure not only provides earnings stability but creates a competitive advantage in pricing that should fuel further growth.

Palomar's 28.8% premium growth is especially impressive considering the challenging market conditions in catastrophe-exposed regions. The growth across their diverse portfolio suggests they're successfully executing their expansion strategy without compromising underwriting standards, as evidenced by the 73.1% adjusted combined ratio.

The $6.5 million in favorable prior year development from short-tail lines reflects conservative initial loss picks and effective claims management. This positive development primarily from Inland Marine and Other Property segments indicates strong fundamental underwriting in their diversification business lines.

The newly announced $150 million share repurchase program through July 2027 demonstrates management's confidence in sustainable underwriting profitability. With strong capital generation and an A.M. Best "A" rating, Palomar has positioned itself as a specialized market leader capable of maintaining disciplined growth while returning capital to shareholders 鈥� a rare combination in the specialty insurance sector.

Investment Results
Net investment income increased by 68.0% to $13.4 million compared to $8.0 million in the prior year鈥檚 second quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher yields on invested assets and a higher average balance of investments held during the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to cash generated from operations and proceeds from the August 2024 public offering. The weighted average duration of the fixed-maturity investment portfolio, including cash equivalents, was 4.13 years at June 30, 2025. Cash and invested assets totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2025. During the second quarter, the Company recorded $8.3 million net realized and unrealized gains related to its investment portfolio as compared to net realized and unrealized gains of an immaterial amount during the same period last year.

Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 22.3% compared to 22.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the current quarter, the Company鈥檚 income tax rate differed from the statutory rate due primarily to non-deductible executive compensation expense offset by the tax impact of the permanent component of employee stock options.

Stockholders鈥� Equity and Returns
Stockholders鈥� equity was $847.2 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $532.6 million at June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company鈥檚 annualized return on equity was 22.7% compared to 19.9% for the same period in the prior year while adjusted return on equity⁽¹⁾ was 23.7% compared to 24.7% for the same period in the prior year.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company鈥檚 Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program effective July 31, 2025. The program authorizes the repurchase by the Company of up to $150 million of its outstanding shares of common stock over the period ending on July 31, 2027. Under the share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or negotiated transactions at prevailing market rates, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws.

There is no guarantee as to the exact number or value of shares that will be repurchased by the Company, and the Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional repurchases are not warranted. The timing and amount of share repurchases under the share repurchase program will depend on several factors, including the Company's stock price performance, ongoing capital planning considerations, general market conditions and applicable legal requirements.

Full Year 2025 Outlook
For the full year 2025, the Company expects to achieve adjusted net income of $198 million to $208 million, an increase from the previously announced range of $195 million to $205 million. This range includes an estimate of $8 million to $12 million of catastrophe losses for the remainder of the year.
