- Gross written premiums and premium equivalents of $851.9
million for the quarter, an increase of 17.6%, and $3.07 billion
for the year, an increase of 11.7%, driven by growth in specialty
E&S insurance lines.
- Net written premiums were $365.6 million for the quarter, a
decrease of 4.9%, and $1.44 billion for the year, an increase of
9.0%. The increase for the year was consistent with the growth in
gross written premiums and premium equivalents and increased
retention on Fortegra’s whole account quota share reinsurance
agreement. Net written premiums increased by 41.1% for the quarter,
and 20.4% for the year, excluding the one-time assumption of
premium from a book-roll transaction with one of Fortegra’s MGA
partners in Q4'23.
- Revenues increased 11.7% for the quarter and 23.9% for the year
driven by premium growth in specialty E&S and admitted lines.
Excluding the impact of investment gains and losses, revenues
increased by 13.2% for the quarter and 23.0% for the year.
- The combined ratio for the quarter was 89.5%, down 0.3
percentage points, reflecting the consistent underwriting
performance and scalability of the Company’s operations.
Year-to-date combined ratio was 90.0%, as compared to 90.3% in
2023. Included in the 2024 combined ratio was 2.6 percentage points
related to net catastrophe losses as compared to 0.2 percentage
points in 2023. The primary catastrophic events impacting 2024 were
Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
- Income before taxes was $47.9 million for the quarter, an
increase of 8.3%. Year-to-date income before taxes was $183.2
million, an increase of 41.1%. Annualized after-tax return on
average equity for the year was 26.0%, compared to 25.7% in
2023.
- Adjusted net income for the quarter of $42.5 million, up 30.5%
from Q4'23. Year-to-date adjusted net income of $157.0 million, up
35.7%. Annualized adjusted return on average equity for the year
was 29.1%, compared to 29.2% in 2023.
- Fortegra’s total stockholders’ equity was $625.5 million as of
December 31, 2024, compared to $452.6 million as of December 31,
2023, with the increase driven by net income and the aggregate
capital contribution from Tiptree, Warburg and Fortegra directors

other comprehensive loss position.

- Tiptree Capital income before taxes was $2.8 million for the
quarter, compared to a loss of $2.1 million in Q4'23, driven by
improvement in our mortgage operations. For the year, income before
taxes was $4.6 million, compared to a loss of $6.5 million in 2023,
with the comparative improvement driven by improvement in our
mortgage operations and a reduction of investment losses on
Invesque.
- Mortgage income before taxes was $3.5 million for the quarter,
as compared to a loss of $2.4 million in Q4'23, and an income of
$4.7 million for the year, as compared to a loss of $3.3 million in
2023, driven by higher origination volumes and loan servicing fees,
and unrealized gains on our mortgage servicing asset.
Corporate:
Corporate includes expenses of the holding company for employee
compensation and benefits, audit and professional fees, and public
company and other expenses. For the quarter, corporate expenses
were $8.5 million compared to $12.1 million in Q4'23 driven by a
decline in incentive compensation accruals.
Non-GAAP
Management uses Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on
average equity as measurements of operating performance. Management
believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to
investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to
analyze financial performance and comparison among companies.
Management uses Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average
equity as part of its capital allocation process and to assess
comparative returns on invested capital. Adjusted net income
represents income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income
taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that
we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, stock-based
compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), and
intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting, all
of which is reduced for non-controlling interests. Adjusted net
income and Adjusted return on average equity are presented before
the impacts of non-controlling interests. Adjusted net income and
Adjusted return on average equity are not measurements of financial
performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as
an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. See “Non-GAAP
Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of these measures to their
GAAP equivalents.

Tiptree Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted
net income and Adjusted return on average equity
Adjusted net income is defined as income before taxes, less
provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax
impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and
non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related
expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized
gains (losses) and intangibles amortization associated with
purchase accounting, all of which is reduced for non-controlling
interests. The calculation of adjusted net income excludes net
realized and unrealized gains (losses) that relate to investments
or assets rather than business operations. Adjusted net income is
presented before the impacts of non-controlling interests. Adjusted
return on average equity represents adjusted net income expressed
on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and
ending stockholders’ equity during the period. Management uses
Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as part
of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns
on invested capital. We believe adjusted net income provides
additional clarity on the results of the Company’s underlying
business operations as a whole for the periods presented by
excluding distortions created by the unpredictability and
volatility of realized and unrealized gains (losses). We also
believe adjusted net income provides useful supplemental
information to investors as it is frequently used by the financial
community to analyze financial performance between periods and for
comparison among companies.
