- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Ategrity Specialty Insurance Company Holdings and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as well as the Utility Limited Partnership, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that meets the requirements for consolidation (see Note 3 for further details) (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications and Statement of Cash Flows Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company refined the presentation of certain investment-related cash flows within investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities, net cash provided by financing activities, net change in cash and cash equivalents, net income, total assets, total liabilities or total stockholders’ equity.
Reverse Stock Split and Corporate Conversion
On June 10, 2025, in connection with its initial public offering, the Company completed its corporate conversion from a Delaware limited liability company to a Nevada corporation and effected a 1-for-10.66 reverse stock split of its outstanding member units. The Corporate Conversion was accounted for as a recapitalization. All common share and per-share amounts presented for prior periods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Corporate Conversion and Reverse Stock Split.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Management makes estimates and assumptions that include, but are not limited to, reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, allowance for credit losses, and income taxes.
Those estimates are inherently subject to change, and actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Accordingly, the Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either: (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies; or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies.
Accounting Standard Updates Recently Adopted
The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Accounting Standard Updates Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income -Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The standard eliminates the previous stage-based model for capitalization, introduces a “probable-to-complete” threshold that defers capitalization if significant development uncertainty exists, and aligns disclosure requirements with those for software developed for external use, as described in
ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. The ASU also supersedes ASC 350-50, Website Development Costs, unifying all internally developed technology, whether labeled “software” or “website”, under a single framework. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
- Consolidated Variable Interest Entity
The Company is party to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Utility Limited Partnership, which formed on March 19, 2018 under the laws of the State of Delaware and commenced operations on April 1, 2018. The Utility Limited Partnership operates as a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
Zimmer Partners, LP (the “Investment Manager”), a Delaware limited partnership and a related party, is the investment manager of the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund and the Utility Limited Partnership. The Investment Manager is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
ZP Utility Insurance GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a related party, is the general partner of the Utility Limited Partnership (the “Utility General Partner”) and is responsible for the investment decisions of the Utility Limited Partnership. The Utility General Partner owned less than 2% and 1% of the Utility Limited Partnership as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company performed an assessment of all relevant facts and circumstances and determined that the Utility Limited Partnership is a VIE as the equity holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and that substantially all of the activities of the VIE are conducted on behalf of the Company. As a result, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the Utility Limited Partnership.
The Company consolidates the Utility Limited Partnership as its primary beneficiary, meeting both the “power” and “benefits” criteria associated with VIE accounting guidance. Non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 represent the ownership interests in the consolidated VIE held by Utility General Partner. The assets of the consolidated VIE may only be used to settle obligations of the same VIE. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIE’s liabilities.
On March 31, 2025, the Company redeemed $97.2 million from the Utility Limited Partnership.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company, through Ategrity Limited, made additional investments in the Utility Limited Partnership totaling $20.0 million, consisting of $10.0 million on each of May 1, 2026 and September 1, 2026.
The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the Utility Limited Partnership consolidated VIE included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

Fixed-Maturity Securities, Available-for-Sale

As of September 30, 2026, the Company held securities ofeighty-three issuers that were in an unrealized loss position with a total fair value of $671.5 million, and gross unrealized losses of $23.8 million. None of the fixed-maturity securities with unrealized losses has ever missed, or been delinquent on, a scheduled principal or interest payment date.
Impairment of Available-for-Sale Securities
The Company performs a periodic assessment of its available-for-sale portfolio to determine if there is a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis and if the decline is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors (i.e., changes in market-based interest rates). The Company considers several factors in completing its review of potential credit losses, including the extent to which a security’s fair value has been below cost and the financial condition of the issuer. In addition to specific issuer information, the Company also evaluates the current market and interest rate environment. Generally, a change in a security’s value caused by a change in the market or interest rate environment does not constitute a credit loss.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses or write off any accrued interest receivable related to its available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities.
For all available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2026, the Company does not intend to sell, and it is not “more likely than not” that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund
The Company measures its investment in the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient. This amount represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to the unconsolidated VIE. The Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund is the master within a “master-feeder” fund structure whereby its current shareholders, Utility Limited Partnership and two other feeder funds (collectively, the “Feeder Funds”), invest substantially all their capital in the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund.
The Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund’s investment objective is to employ an energy and infrastructure-focused long/short strategy which seeks to deliver absolute returns in all market conditions with minimal correlation to energy sector indices and broader market indices. The Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund invests primarily in the equities of electric and gas utilities, integrated utilities, water utilities, telecommunication companies, independent power producers and pipelines, exploration and production companies, oilfield service companies and more broadly in energy and infrastructure-related industries (such as chemicals, materials, transportation infrastructure and real estate equities). The Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund’s portfolio is generally managed to be balanced.
The Company performed an assessment of all relevant facts and circumstances and determined that the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund is a VIE. The Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the investment manager controls the significant activities of the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund.
The Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund measures its investments, which consist primarily of equities, and its derivative activities, which relate to swap contracts, foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As the majority of the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund’s investments are exchange-traded securities, such securities are reported at fair value.
The following table summarizes certain investments of the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund where the Utility Limited Partnership’s proportionate share of the fair value of the classes of investment represents more than 10% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

There were no investments of the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund where the Utility Limited Partnership’s proportionate share of the fair value of certain investments represents more than 5% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Effective April 1, 2018, under the Investment Management Agreement, dated April 1, 2018, between the Utility Limited Partnership and the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager is paid a quarterly fixed fee computed at an annual rate of 2.0% (i.e.,0.5% per quarter) of the balance of each limited partner’s capital account (the “Fixed Fee”). The Fixed Fee was $1.1 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and $0.8 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Fixed Fee payable under the Investment Management Agreement was waived by the Investment Manager for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Under the terms of the revised Utility Limited Partnership Agreement of ZP Utility Insurance Fund, L.P., the Utility General Partner is entitled to an incentive allocation equal to 20% of the Utility Limited Partnership’s net profits, subject to high watermark provisions, and adjusted for withdrawals (the “Incentive Allocation”). The Incentive Allocation is credited as of the end of the fiscal year to the Capital Account of the Utility General Partner. The Incentive Allocation was a reversal of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and an allocation of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and an allocation of $0.9 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The Utility Limited Partnership has a quarterly liquidity option, subject to specific conditions, which are as follows:
to the extent it is required to pay insurance claims
to the extent it is required to pay for reasonable operating expenses
in the event the Company receives a notification from A.M. Best, or
to the extent the Company is required to diversify its assets pursuant to a law, order or regulation.
The Utility General Partner may withdraw all or a portion of its capital account at any time.
MidCap Limited Partnership
On January 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement with the MidCap Limited Partnership with an initial investment of $10 million. The MidCap Limited Partnership operates as a feeder fund in a “master-feeder” structure, in which the MidCap Limited Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in the ZP Master MidCap Fund, Ltd. (“MidCap Fund”).
ZP MidCap GP, LLC (the “MidCap General Partner”), an affiliate of ZFSG, is the general partner of the MidCap Limited Partnership and is responsible for the investment decisions of the MidCap Limited Partnership, including the appointment of the investment manager of the MidCap Limited Partnership. The Investment Manager is also the investment manager of the MidCap Fund and the MidCap Limited Partnership.
The Company performed an assessment of all relevant facts and circumstances and determined that the MidCap Limited Partnership is a VIE. The Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the investment manager controls the significant activities of the MidCap Fund and MidCap Limited Partnership.
The Company measures its investment in the MidCap Limited Partnership at fair value using the reported net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The carrying amount of the investment represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to the unconsolidated VIE.
Loans to Affiliates
The Company entered into technology transactions (the “Technology Transactions”) effective January 1, 2023, with ZFSG and Zimmer Technology Group, LLC (“ZTG”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ZFSG, governing the sale, licensing and services related to certain technology assets developed and owned by the Company. As part of the Technology Transactions, ZTG acquired the assets for a purchase price of $13.5 million paid in the form of a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) issued by ZFSG bearing interest at 7.42% per annum with a maturity date of December 31, 2029. The Company received a principal repayment of $0 and $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

- Fair Value Measurements
Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value of financial instruments: (1) Level 1: quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets, (2) Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument and (3) Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable for the asset or liability.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
To measure fair value, the Company obtains prices for its investment securities from independent pricing services and other observable market inputs through third-party service providers. When quoted market prices for identical securities in active markets are not available, the Company uses observable inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities and evaluated pricing. The values for all fixed-maturity securities (consisting of U.S. Treasury securities and corporate securities) and equity securities generally incorporate significant Level 2 inputs using the market approach and income approach valuation techniques. The Company did not have any instruments classified within Level 3 measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There have been no changes in the Company’s use of valuation techniques since commencement of operations.
The Company reviews fair value prices obtained through third-party service providers for reasonableness and monitors changes in unrealized gains and losses. The Company has not historically adjusted security prices. The Company obtains an understanding of the methods, models and inputs used by the independent pricing services, and controls are in place to validate that prices provided represent fair values. The Company’s control process includes, but is not limited to, initial and ongoing evaluation of the methodologies used, a review of specific securities and an assessment for proper classification within the fair value hierarchy and obtaining and reviewing internal control reports for relevant third-party service providers involved in the pricing process.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are summarized below by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities. Investments measured using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient are not classified within the fair value hierarchy and are described in Note 4, Investments – Utility & Infrastructure Investments.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
The Company did not have any material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
- Premiums Receivable, Net
Premiums receivable are carried at face value, net of any allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of amounts considered uncollectible based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of receivables. The estimate considers historical collection data, current economic conditions and expectations of future conditions that could affect ultimate collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
The following table presents the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for premiums receivable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

The Company applies the portion of the straight-line sublease income that is equal to its head lease expense as a contra expense to head lease expense in underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses and records the remainder in other income.
The following tables summarize the details and balances associated with the Company’s operating lease balances and lease cost, including sublease income:

These amounts represent gross cash payments under the head lease and are not reduced by cash receipts under the related sublease. Because the base rent under the sublease is equal to the base rent payable by the Company under the head lease and the lease terms are coterminous, cash receipts under the sublease are expected to offset cash payments under the head lease.
Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease as of September 30, 2026 are expected to be as follows:

For awards subject only to service conditions, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards subject to both service and performance conditions, compensation cost is recognized using a graded vesting attribution method when achievement of the performance condition is considered probable.
The following table summarizes NQSO activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2026:

| Earnings per share - diluted | $0.29 | $0.45 | $1.47 | $1.06 |
Common share and per-share data for prior periods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the June 2025 reverse stock split and corporate conversion. Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
Unvested share-based payment awards, including restricted stock units and stock options, do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and therefore are not considered participating securities under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Such awards are included in diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method when dilutive and when applicable vesting or performance conditions have been satisfied as of the reporting date.
Effective July 1, 2025, pursuant to the Waiver described in Note 15, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company no longer allocates earnings to the Warrants under the two-class method during the Waiver Period and instead considers the Warrants under the treasury stock method for diluted EPS when dilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026,407 thousand and 606 thousand NQSOs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025,563 thousand NQSOs were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Tranche 2 Warrants (375,147 warrants with an exercise price of $21.32 per share) were included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method because the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period exceeded their exercise price. The Tranche 1 Warrants (1,079,605 warrants with an exercise price of $31.99 per share) were excluded because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the incremental shares attributable to the Tranche 2 Warrants reflect the average of the incremental shares included in each quarterly computation; the Tranche 2 Warrants were anti-dilutive in the first and second quarters of 2026, and the Tranche 1 Warrants were anti-dilutive for the nine-month period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Warrants were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Warrants were participating securities during the first and second quarters of 2025; earnings were allocated to the Warrants under the two-class method through June 30, 2025, and the Warrants were not included in the diluted EPS denominator.

The following table summarizes the components of other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:
