TROY, Mich., March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Presurance Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRHI) (“Presurance” or the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Year-end 2025 Financial Highlights
- Personal Lines production up 12.7% on the year
- Commercial Lines were down 67% and continue to run off
- Personal lines production comprised 100% of gross written premiums in Q4
- Commercial Lines – zero premium production for the fourth quarter
While gross written premiums declined in the fourth quarter, as the Company continued its disciplined shift away from previously written commercial lines, on the other hand, personal lines premium was up 12.7% on the year, reflecting a concerted focus going forward. With the exit from commercial lines business on-going, the Company has meaningfully simplified its risk profile and reduced exposure to volatility associated with the old legacy business.
Management Comments
Brian Roney, CEO of Presurance, commented, "We are taking decisive steps to manage the lingering effects of the legacy commercial lines run-off. Continued adverse development, largely from our previously written commercial lines business under prior management, has significantly impacted our financial results for the quarter and the year. Going forward, the Company continues to focus on select personal lines homeowners’ business, a segment that aligns with our underwriting goals and offers attractive opportunities.”

2025 Fourth Quarter Gross Written Premium
Gross written premiums decreased year over year in the fourth quarter of 2025 to $7.9 million, compared to $13.7 million in the prior year period. This reduction reflects a deliberate recalibration, as we streamline our book of business to emphasize personal lines that deliver better risk-adjusted returns and further aligns within our long-term strategy.

The Company’s commercial lines of business represented 0% of total gross written premium in the fourth quarter of 2025. As reflected above, Commercial Lines premiums have decreased year over year, largely as a result of the commercial lines run-off and the decision to move away from the underperforming legacy commercial lines.

Personal lines production was largely driven by Texas premium and supplemented by continuing business in select Midwestern states.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Presurance prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

We believe that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by our disclosure of adjusted operating income. Our method of calculating this measure may differ from that used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. We define adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP measure, as net income (loss) excluding: 1) net realized investment gains (losses), 2) change in fair value of equity securities, 3) Other gains, 4) Change in fair value of contingent considerations, 5) Change in contingent consideration bonus expense and 6) net income (loss) from discontinued operations. We use adjusted operating income 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 the results of our operations and underlying business performance.
