We continued to see strong opportunity flow across our distribution network and remained highly selective in how we deployed capital, producing profitable growth and strong returns on equity.

We also invested for the future, launching new regional strategies to broaden our market reach and advancing our automation and AI initiatives to expand margins.

This quarter’s results reflect a productionized underwriting model gaining market share and delivering consistent, profitable performance.”

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, gross written premiums increased 23.1% compared to the prior-year period, driven by execution of our growth initiatives and increased engagement across our expanding distribution network. Gross written premiums for casualty lines increased 27.4% year-over-year, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on broadening casualty-related products and verticals. Gross written premiums in property lines increased 12.6% year-over-year, driven by growth in areas with limited catastrophe exposure.

Underwriting income(1) was $13.3 million for the quarter, up 86.6% from $7.1 million in the prior-year period. The combined ratio for the quarter was 87.4%, a decrease from 90.9% in the prior-year period, driven by improvements in both the loss and expense ratios. The loss ratio decreased by 1.0 percentage point to 58.8%, supported by strong underwriting results in property, including lower attritional losses and favorable catastrophe experience.

The overall expense ratio was 28.6% for the quarter, compared to 31.1% in the prior-year period, driven by operating expense leverage and lower net policy acquisition costs. Operating expenses, net of fee income, decreased as a percentage of net earned premiums by 1.3 percentage points to 10.9%, reflecting emerging scale benefits of our centralized model and stronger fee income. Policy

acquisition costs also improved, decreasing by 1.2 percentage points to 17.6% of net earned premiums due to a favorable shift in our business mix.

President and Chief Underwriting Officer Chris Schenk said, “We achieved higher retention year-over-year, and new business submission activity was strong, reflecting growing demand for our product and the strength of our distribution network. Our strategic initiatives contributed meaningfully to growth, and policy count in our middle-market business nearly doubled. Technical pricing remained aligned with our target loss ratios, and underlying frequency and severity trends performed better than expected.

We also launched several initiatives focused on expanding our submission pipeline, including new regional strategies in Texas, Florida and New England. We are seeing early traction through new brokerage appointments and expanded market access, as these differentiated solutions position Ategrity for continued above-market growth.”

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors in our common stock with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. Management believes that excluding certain items that are not indicative of core performance assists in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We define underwriting income as income before income taxes excluding the impact of net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, other income, interest expense, and other expenses (which include expenses related to corporate activities and expenses recorded by us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering). Underwriting income is a measure of the pre-tax profitability of our underwriting operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to net investment income among other things. We use this metric as we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before income taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.

Underwriting income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to income before income taxes as follows:

We define adjusted net income attributable to stockholders as net income attributable to stockholders excluding certain other non-operating expenses, which include expenses recorded by us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. We use adjusted net income attributable to stockholders as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders should not be viewed as a substitute for net income attributable to stockholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.

Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to net income attributable to stockholders as follows:

(1)In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, other non-operating expenses includes share-based compensation expenses recorded by us related to our initial public offering.

We define adjusted return on stockholders’ equity as adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, expressed as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders excludes the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook, net of tax impact. We use adjusted return on stockholders’ equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on stockholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on stockholders’ equity and adjusted net income attributable to stockholders differently.

Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to return on stockholders’ equity as follows:

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net income and adjusted net income are annualized to arrive at return on stockholders’ equity and adjusted return on stockholders’ equity.

We define adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income attributable to stockholders, divided by weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted for the period. We use adjusted diluted earnings per share as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be viewed as a substitute for diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted diluted earnings per share differently.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 reconciles to diluted earnings per share as follows:
