 Balance sheet fundamentals  Management – planning/strategy  Rate adequacy  Operating results  Guidance on Financial Stability Ratings ® and Catastrophe Reinsurance Program Reporting for Florida Property Insurers  Florida is a difficult market to earn an FSR upgrade due to uncertainty, variability and regulatory pressure

Risk Based CapitalGreater than 300% TAC/ACL Liquidity – Cash & Invested Assets to Total Liabilities Greater than 1:1 Total Liabilities to SurplusLess than 3:1 Favorable Loss Reserve DevelopmentAnnual and Quarterly Underwriting ResultsLoss of no more than 10% of Prior Year Surplus GPW to SurplusLess than 6:1 NPW to SurplusLess than 3:1 Net CAT Retention to Surplus *Less than 15% of Current Surplus These criteria are not a safe harbor or bright-line indicator for acceptable financial performance * APPLICABLE TO FLORIDA PROPERTY WRITERS

 Modeling is reflected in the evaluation of the reinsurance program  Reinsurance program is evaluated on the quality and quantity of reinsurance including the catastrophe coverage within the program  Demotech does not recommend a particular model or model version, public or private  Evaluation of current modeling results  Model creep - what we are willing to consider  Provide comparison to prior season’s model results

 Overview  Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund – Mandatory, TICL  Aggregate cover  Credit worthiness  Affiliates, captives and alternative programs  Net catastrophe retentions, event period and limits  CAT Reinsurance Data Call update Demotech does not publish prescribed acceptable parameters for reinsurance retentions or other aspects of a reinsurance program. We believe that the variables inherent in evaluating the appropriateness of each insurer’s reinsurance program preclude the establishment of rigid, universal benchmarks. However, we do provide feedback on aspects of company-specific reinsurance programs that are pertinent to our review.
