Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are organized as a holding company with our operations primarily conducted by Ategrity Specialty, which is domiciled in Delaware. We may receive cash through (1) loans from banks, (2) issuance of equity and debt securities, (3) corporate service fees from Ategrity Specialty, (4) payments from our subsidiaries pursuant to the Tax Agreement (as defined herein) and other transactions, and (5) dividends from Ategrity Specialty and Ategrity Limited. We may use the proceeds from these sources to contribute funds to Ategrity Specialty or Ategrity Limited in order to support premium growth, reduce our reliance on reinsurance, or pay dividends and taxes, and for other business purposes. On a consolidated basis, our primary source of cash is premiums received from our insureds, and our primary uses of cash are payments of losses and loss adjustment expenses and operating expenses.
We have two letter of credit agreements, each in the amount of $35.0 million. These letters of credit were issued to the benefit of Ategrity Specialty on behalf of Ategrity Limited as collateral for its liabilities under the quota-share reinsurance agreement. As of June 30, 2025, no amounts were drawn on the letters of credit.
Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity available at our holding company and subsidiaries to meet our operating cash needs and obligations for the next twelve months.
Cash flows
Our most significant source of cash is from premiums received from our insureds, which, for most policies, we receive at the beginning of the coverage period. Our most significant cash outflow is for claims that arise when a policyholder incurs an insured loss. Because the payment of claims occurs after the receipt of the premium, often years later, we invest the cash in various investment securities that earn interest and dividends. We also use cash to pay commissions to brokers, as well as to pay for ongoing operating expenses such as salaries, rent, taxes, and interest expense. We use reinsurance to manage the risk that we take on our policies. We cede, or pay out, part of the premiums we receive to our reinsurers and collect cash back when losses subject to our reinsurance coverage are paid.
The timing of our cash flows from operating activities can vary among periods due to the timing by which payments are made or received. Some of our payments and receipts, including loss settlements and subsequent reinsurance receipts, can be significant, so their timing can influence cash flows from operating activities in any given period. Management believes that cash receipts from premiums, proceeds from investment sales and redemptions, and investment income are sufficient to cover cash outflows in the foreseeable future.
The following table set forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| ($ in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $50,796 | $64,725 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (185,887) | (231,830) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 132,047 | (414) |
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $(3,044) | $(167,519) |
Operating activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $64.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the timing of premiums receipts, claim payments, reinsurance recoveries and operating payables.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $185.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $231.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by a significant deployment of excess cash balances into short term investments during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $132.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash used in financing activities of $414.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and consisted primarily of net proceeds from our initial public offering as well as a capital contribution from ZFSG, partially offset by the payment of capital distribution to the Utility General Partner.
Reinsurance
We enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our exposure to potential large losses and to provide additional capacity for growth. Our reinsurance is primarily contracted under quota-share reinsurance treaties and excess of loss treaties. In quota-share reinsurance, the reinsurer agrees to assume a specified percentage of the ceding company’s losses arising out of a defined class of business in exchange for a corresponding percentage of premiums, net of a ceding commission. In excess of loss reinsurance, the reinsurer agrees to assume all or a portion of the ceding company’s losses, in excess of a specified amount. In excess of loss reinsurance, the premium payable to the reinsurer is negotiated by the parties based on their assessment of the amount of risk being ceded to the reinsurer because the reinsurer does not share proportionately in the ceding company’s losses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, property insurance represented 33.3% of our gross written premiums. When we write property insurance, we buy reinsurance to significantly mitigate our risk to large losses. We use sophisticated computer models to analyze the risk of severe losses from weather-related events and earthquakes. We measure exposure to these catastrophe losses in terms of Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”), which is an estimate of what level of loss we would expect to experience in a windstorm or earthquake event occurring once in every 100 or 250 years. We manage this PML by purchasing catastrophe reinsurance coverage. Effective July 1, 2024, we purchased catastrophe reinsurance coverage of $48.0 million per event in excess of our $12.0 million per event retention. Our property catastrophe reinsurance includes a reinstatement provision which requires us to pay reinstatement premiums after a loss has occurred in order to preserve coverage. Including the reinstatement provision, the maximum aggregate loss recovery limit is $96.0 million and is in addition to the coverage provided by our other property reinsurance.
Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to policyholders. Failure of the reinsurer to honor its obligation could result in losses to us, and therefore, we established an allowance for credit risk based on historical analysis of credit losses for highly rated companies in the insurance industry. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from its exposure to individual reinsurers.
As of December 31, 2024, Ategrity Specialty has only contracted with reinsurers with A.M. Best financial strength ratings of “A-” (Excellent) or better. As of June 30, 2025 we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $0 related to our reinsurance balances.
Ratings
Ategrity Specialty and Ategrity Limited both have a financial strength rating of “A-” (Excellent) from A.M. Best. A.M. Best assigns 16 ratings to insurance companies, which currently range from “A++” (Superior) to “F” (In Liquidation). “A-” (Excellent) is the fourth highest rating issued by A.M. Best. The “A-” (Excellent) rating is assigned to insurers that have, in A.M. Best’s opinion, an excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders. This rating is intended to provide an independent opinion of an insurer’s ability to meet its obligation to policyholders and is not an evaluation directed at investors.
The financial strength ratings assigned by A.M. Best have an impact on the ability of the insurance companies to attract and retain agents and brokers and on the risk profiles of the submissions for insurance that the insurance companies receive. The “A-” (Excellent) rating obtained by Ategrity Specialty is consistent with our business plan and allows us to actively pursue relationships with the agents and brokers identified in our marketing plan.
