The company disclosed that Q3 2026 commissions increased $24.0 million compared to Q3 2025, "primarily driven by an increase in agent incentive compensation and the growth in direct and affiliated assumed written premium." Non-commission expense decreased $1.1 million in the quarter, with technology and infrastructure costs rising $6.9 million "primarily due to higher costs associated with technology initiatives, including internal-use software impairments, depreciation and amortization expense, and cloud usage costs," while administrative and other costs fell $5.5 million "primarily due to lower credit card processing fees."

For the first nine months of 2026, the filing reported net investment income of $71.5 million, up from $61.0 million in the first nine months of 2025. Net realized and unrealized losses were $5.7 million in the nine-month period of 2026, compared to gains of $2.3 million in the comparable 2025 period.

Nine-month commissions increased $96.6 million compared to the prior-year period, while non-commission expense decreased $20.7 million, with professional fees down $12.1 million "primarily due to reduced use of third-party services related to technology initiatives."
