Justin Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Ategrity, said, “Ategrity delivered another record quarter, with continued growth and margin expansion. Our performance reflects the durability of our underwriting strategy: disciplined pricing, precise risk selection, and consistent execution across the platform. Broader distribution and targeted growth initiatives increased submission flow, which we converted into profitable business while maintaining selectivity. Our model continued to scale efficiently, generating operating leverage and a further reduction in the expense ratio. With analytics and automation embedded across the organisation, we are steadily extending our competitive advantage and compounding profitable growth.”

Chris Schenk, President and Chief Underwriting Officer, added, “We have built a business with multiple, differentiated pathways for growth across market cycles. That approach is evident in the strength of our submission pipeline, our financial performance, and our rate change results. We exited 2025 with positive property growth while many peers contracted, reflecting our deliberate decision to avoid trend-chasing in catastrophe-exposed property. Our management and professional liability lines established durable positions in their early period of development despite broader market softening. In casualty, we delivered strong growth across our core verticals, and our newly launched retail-trade vertical generated meaningful submission momentum exiting the fourth quarter, supported by Project Heartland and a highly engaged, diversified distribution network.

“We wrote new business above our cost of product, preserving account-level economics and supporting long-term value. That technical discipline—particularly in small and middle-market risks—has driven renewal stability and portfolio durability.”
