Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We provide medical insurance for cats and dogs in the United States, Canada, and certain countries in Continental Europe. Through our data-driven, vertically-integrated approach, we develop and offer high-value medical insurance products, priced to take into account each pet’s unique characteristics and coverage level. Our growing and loyal membership base provides us with highly predictable and recurring revenue.
We operate in two reporting segments: subscription business and other business. We generate revenue in our subscription business segment primarily through insurance premiums, which we refer to as subscription payments, from direct-to-consumer products. We operate our subscription business segment similar to other subscription-based businesses, with a focus on achieving a target margin prior to our new pet acquisition expense and acquiring as many pets as possible at our targeted average estimated internal rate of return. Within our subscription business, we also provide "Powered by Trupanion" pet insurance product offerings marketed by third parties, low and medium average revenue per pet products marketed under the brand names Furkin and PHI Direct in Canada, and a Trupanion branded product in Germany and Switzerland. We either directly underwrite or assume full insurance risk for these products through reinsurance arrangements. We provide a full suite of services and support for these products and they are designed to align with the target margin profile of our subscription business segment. Within this segment, we also offer products in certain countries in Continental Europe, which are currently underwritten by third parties who pay us commissions that we recognize as revenue. Going forward our intent is to assume full insurance risk for these products, either through direct underwriting or reinsurance arrangements.
We generate leads for our subscription business segment from a diverse set of member acquisition channels, which we then seek to convert into members through our contact center, website and other direct-to-consumer activities. These channels include leads from third-parties such as veterinarians and referrals from existing members. Veterinary hospitals represent our largest referral source. Our “Territory Partners” create relationships with veterinary hospital teams through face-to-face visits. Territory Partners are dedicated to cultivating direct veterinary relationships and helping those veterinarians understand the benefits of high-quality medical insurance. Veterinarians then educate pet parents, who visit our website or call our contact center to learn more about, and potentially enroll in, a Trupanion product. We also receive a significant number of new leads from existing members adding pets and referring their friends and family members. Our direct-to-consumer acquisition channels serve as important resources for pet owner education and drive new member leads and conversion. We monitor average pet acquisition cost to evaluate the efficiency in acquiring new members and measure effectiveness based on our targeted return on investment.
Our other business segment generates revenue from other product offerings, primarily by underwriting policies on behalf of third parties with whom we generally have a business-to-business relationship. This business segment has, and targets, a lower margin profile than our subscription segment and is not part of our core business strategy. The largest source of revenue within this segment is from our long-standing contractual relationship as an underwriter for Pets Best Insurance Services ("Pets Best"), a third-party insurance provider we have worked with since 2015. Additional products in this segment include the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs program and employer-sponsored programs.

Total pets enrolled and total subscription pets enrolled include certain pet enrollments in European markets, where policies are currently underwritten by third parties and Trupanion is acting as an insurance broker. Per pet metrics, however, exclude these European policies, as their revenue is currently earned from commissions, as opposed to the subscription payments earned by the remainder of our subscription business.
Total pets enrolled. Total pets enrolled reflects the number of pets enrolled in one of the insurance products offered in our subscription business segment and our other business segment at the end of each period presented. We monitor total pets enrolled because it provides an indication of the growth of our consolidated business.
Total subscription pets enrolled. Total subscription pets enrolled reflects the number of pets enrolled in one of the insurance products offered in our subscription business segment at the end of each period presented. We monitor total subscription pets enrolled because it provides an indication of the growth of our subscription business.
Monthly average revenue per pet. Monthly average revenue per pet is calculated as amounts billed in a given period for subscriptions divided by the total number of subscription pet months in the period. Total subscription pet months in a period represents the sum of all subscription pets enrolled for each month during the period. We monitor monthly average revenue per pet because it is an indicator of the per pet unit economics of our subscription business.
21
Average pet acquisition cost. Average pet acquisition cost ("PAC") is calculated as net acquisition cost divided by the total number of new subscription pets enrolled in that period. Net acquisition cost, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated in a reporting period as new pet acquisition expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense, other business segment expense, offset by sign-up fee revenue. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because the amount varies from period to period based on number of awards issued and market-based valuation inputs. We offset sign-up fee revenue because it is a one-time charge to some new members collected at the time of enrollment used to partially offset initial setup costs, which are included in new pet acquisition expenses. We exclude other business segment pet acquisition expense because that does not relate to subscription enrollments. We monitor average pet acquisition cost to evaluate the efficiency in acquiring new members and measure effectiveness based on our targeted return on investment.
Average monthly retention. Average monthly retention is measured as the monthly retention rate of enrolled subscription pets for each applicable period averaged over the 12 months prior to the period end date. As such, our average monthly retention rate as of June 30, 2025 is an average of each month’s retention from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. We calculate monthly retention as the number of pets that remain after subtracting all pets that cancel during a month, including pets that enroll and cancel within that month, divided by the total pets enrolled at the beginning of that month. We monitor average monthly retention because it provides a measure of member satisfaction and allows us to calculate the implied average subscriber life in months.
22
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in providing consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We calculate these non-GAAP financial measures by excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring expenses. We exclude non-recurring transactions and restructuring expenses as they are not indicative of our operating performance. We exclude stock-based compensation as it is non-cash in nature. Although stock-based compensation expenses are expected to remain recurring expenses for the foreseeable future, we believe excluding them allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies. We define non-GAAP development expenses as operating expenses incurred to develop new products and offerings that are pre-revenue. We define non-GAAP fixed expenses as the total of technology and development expense and general and administrative expense, less stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring transaction and restructuring expense, and development expenses related to exploring and developing new products and offerings that generally are in the pre-revenue stage or not at scale.

When determining our PAC, we calculate net acquisition cost for a more comparable metric across periods. Net acquisition cost, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated in a reporting period as GAAP new pet acquisition expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense, other business segment expense, and pet acquisition expense for commission-based policies, offset by sign-up fee revenue. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because the amount varies from period to period based on the number of awards issued and market-based valuation inputs. We exclude other business segment pet acquisition expense because it does not relate to subscription enrollments. We exclude pet acquisition expense for commission-based policies because the revenue of these products is earned from commissions from a third party underwriter, as opposed to the subscription payments earned by the remainder of our subscription business. We offset sign-up fee revenue because it is a one-time charge to some new members collected at the time of enrollment used to partially offset initial setup costs, which are included in new pet acquisition expenses.

Components of Operating Results
General
We operate in two reporting segments: subscription business and other business. We generate revenue in our subscription business segment primarily by subscription payments from direct-to-consumer products. We operate our subscription business segment similar to other subscription-based businesses, with a focus on achieving a target margin prior to our pet acquisition expense and acquiring as many pets as possible at our targeted average estimated internal rate of return. Within our subscription business, we also provide "Powered by Trupanion" pet insurance product offerings marketed by third parties, low and medium average revenue per pet products marketed under the brand names Furkin and PHI Direct in Canada, and a Trupanion branded product in Germany and Switzerland. We either directly underwrite or assume full insurance risk for these products through reinsurance arrangements. We provide a full suite of services and support for these products and they are designed to align with the target margin profile of our subscription business segment. Within this segment we also offer products in certain countries in Continental Europe, which are currently underwritten by third parties who pay us commissions that we recognize as revenue. Going forward our intent is to assume full insurance risk for these products, either through direct underwriting or reinsurance arrangements.
26
Our other business segment generates revenue from other product offerings, primarily by underwriting policies on behalf of third parties with whom we generally have a business-to-business relationship. This business segment has and targets, a different margin profile than our subscription business and is not part of our core business strategy. The largest source of revenue within this segment is from our long-standing contractual relationship with Pets Best, a third-party insurance provider we have worked with since 2015. Additional products in this segment include the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs program and employer-sponsored programs.
Revenue
We generate revenue in our subscription business segment primarily from subscription payments for our pet medical insurance. Subscription payments are paid at the beginning of each subscription period. In most cases, our members authorize us to directly charge their credit card, debit card or bank account through automatic funds transfer. Subscription revenue is recognized on a pro rata basis over the policy term. Membership may be canceled at any time without penalty, and we issue a refund for the unused portion of the canceled membership. In addition to subscription payments, we generate a small amount of revenue from charging a one-time sign-up fee collected at the time of new enrollment to partially offset initial setup costs. Sign-up fees are related to Trupanion's obligation to provide insurance coverage and are recognized over the policy term. We also generate a portion of our subscription business segment revenue through commissions earned in our European markets, where policies are currently underwritten by third parties and Trupanion is acting as an insurance broker.
We generate revenue in our other business segment primarily from writing policies on behalf of third parties where we do not undertake the direct consumer marketing. This segment also includes revenue from other pet insurance products that have a different margin profile from our subscription business.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue in each of our segments is comprised of the following:
Veterinary invoice expense
Veterinary invoice expense includes our costs to review and pay veterinary invoices, administer the payments, and provide member services, and other operating expenses directly or indirectly related to this process. We also accrue for veterinary invoices that have been incurred but not yet received and for the estimated internal costs of processing those invoices. This also includes amounts paid by unaffiliated general agents on our behalf, and an estimate of amounts incurred and not yet paid for our other business segment.
Other cost of revenue
Other cost of revenue for the subscription business segment includes direct and indirect member service expenses, Territory Partner fees per member renewal, payment processing fees and premium tax expenses. Other cost of revenue for the other business segment includes the commissions we pay to unaffiliated general agents, costs to administer the programs in the other business segment and premium taxes on the sales in this segment.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified into four categories: technology and development, general and administrative, new pet acquisition expense, and depreciation and amortization. For each category, except depreciation and amortization, the largest component is personnel costs, which include salaries, employee benefit costs, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense.
Technology and development
Technology and development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and related expenses for our technology staff, which includes information technology development and infrastructure support, including third-party services. It also includes expenses associated with development in new geographies and new products and offerings.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses for our finance, actuarial, human resources, regulatory, legal and general management functions, as well as facilities and professional services.
New pet acquisition expense
New pet acquisition expenses primarily consist of costs, including personnel costs, to educate veterinarians and consumers about the benefits of Trupanion, to generate leads and to convert leads into enrolled pets, as well as print, online and promotional advertising costs.
27
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation of property, equipment, and software developed for internal use, as well as amortization of finite-lived intangible assets.
Gain (loss) from investment in joint venture
Gain (loss) from investment in joint venture consists of the share of income and losses from our equity method investment in a joint venture in Australia, as well as income and expenses associated with administrative services provided to the joint venture. In March 2025, we restructured this relationship from a joint venture to a brand license and services arrangement.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is included in the cost and expense line items above. Stock-based compensation will vary depending on corporate performance and terms of the awards under our equity incentive plan. For example, when we have delivered strong performance, stock-based compensation may increase as a result of incentive-based awards under our equity incentive plan.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Average monthly retention. Our performance depends on our ability to continue to retain our existing and newly enrolled pets and is impacted by our ability to provide a best-in-class value and member experience. Our ability to retain enrolled pets depends on a number of factors, including the actual and perceived value of our services and the quality of our member experience, the ease and transparency of the process for reviewing and paying veterinary invoices for our members, the rate of veterinary inflation and of our pricing adjustments, and the competitive environment. In addition, other initiatives across our business may temporarily impact retention and make it difficult for us to improve or maintain this metric. For example, if the number of new pets enrolled increases at a faster rate than our historical experience, our average monthly retention rate could be adversely impacted, as our retention rate is generally lower during the first year of member enrollment.
Investment in pet acquisition. We have made and may continue to make significant investments to grow our member base. Our pet acquisition cost and the number of new members we enroll depends on a number of factors, including the amount we have available and we elect to invest in pet acquisition activities in any particular period in the aggregate and by channel, the frequency of existing members adding a pet or referring their friends or family, the effectiveness of our sales execution and marketing initiatives, changes in costs of media, the mix of our pet acquisition expenditures and the competitive environment. Our average pet acquisition cost has in the past significantly varied, and in the future may significantly vary, from period to period based upon specific marketing initiatives and estimated rates of return on pet acquisition spend. We also regularly test new member acquisition channels and marketing initiatives, which may be more expensive than our traditional marketing channels and may increase our average pet acquisition costs. We continually assess our pet acquisition activities by monitoring the estimated return on PAC spend both on a detailed level by acquisition channel and in the aggregate.
Timing of price adjustments. Our subscription business’s cost-plus model depends on our ability to estimate our operating costs and expenses, including veterinary invoice expenses, and to adjust our pricing to achieve our target margins. We regularly reevaluate and adjust the price of our subscriptions, with a goal of achieving our targeted payout ratio, subject to the review and approval of regulators where applicable. This makes it important for us to accurately estimate our costs and to promptly implement pricing adjustments, which generally roll onto our book of insured pets over the succeeding twelve months following any applicable regulatory approval. As a result, we may have timing mismatches during which our pricing does not reflect our current expense profile. In periods of rapid increases in veterinary invoice expenses, including periods of significant inflation, this timing mismatch may have a significant impact on our margin profile.
Timing of initiatives. Over time, we plan to implement new initiatives to improve our member experience, make modifications to our subscription plan, introduce new coverage plans, pursue pet food or other adjacent opportunities, improve our technology, increase the number of veterinary hospitals using our patented direct pay software, and find other ways to maintain a strong value proposition for our members. The implementation of such initiatives could impact our expense profile and result in us incurring expenses that may not always directly coincide with revenue increases, resulting in fluctuations in revenue and profitability in our subscription business segment.
Mix of sales. The relative mix of our business by geography, pet age, species, breed, and other factors impacts the monthly average revenue per pet we receive. For example, prices from our plans could vary depending on the relative cost of veterinary care in different countries or areas or whether the pet is a dog or a cat. As our mix of business between products and geographies changes, our metrics, such as our monthly average revenue per pet, and our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations will be impacted. We expect our international business, additional product offerings and "Powered by Trupanion" plans to grow and, in turn, we expect these effects to increase.
28
Other business segment. Our other business segment primarily includes other product offerings that are materially different from those in our subscription business segment. In addition, we expect the growth rate and margin profile of this segment to be significantly different from our subscription business segment. We do not undertake marketing efforts for and are not the primary interface with the customers of the third parties for whom we underwrite other business segment policies. Our relationships in our other business segment are generally subject to termination provisions and are non-exclusive, including our contractual relationship with Pets Best. Accordingly, we have limited influence on the volume of business of this segment. Loss of an entire program via contract termination could result in the associated policies and revenue being lost over a period of 12 to 18 months, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. In some cases, we have structured exclusive relationships, but those relationships have been and may continue to be subject to limitations on the number of enrolled pets as to which we will write policies for the third party. We may enter into additional relationships in this segment in the future, if we believe they will be beneficial, which could impact our operating results.

Revenue from our subscription business segment increased by $33.5 million, or 16%, to $242.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an 11% increase in monthly average revenue per pet and an increase in subscription pet months (the sum of pets enrolled for each month during a period) for policies underwritten by Trupanion. Revenue from our other business segment increased by $5.2 million, or 5%, to $111.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to three months ended June 30, 2024. Total cost of revenue for our subscription business segment increased by $19.7 million, or 11%, to $195.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was driven by a $17.4 million, or 11%, increase in veterinary invoice expense and a $2.3 million, or 12%, increase in other cost of revenue. The 11% increase in veterinary invoice expense was driven by a 7% increase in veterinary invoice expense per pet and an increase in total subscription pet months for policies underwritten by Trupanion. The 12% increase in other cost of revenue was primarily due to general increases in costs attributable to growth in our membership and subscription revenue. Subscription business cost of revenue decreased from 84% to 81% of revenue year-over-year primarily due to growth in subscription revenue outpacing growth in subscription veterinary invoice expense.
Total cost of revenue for our other business segment increased by $4.5 million, or 5%, to $103.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was driven by a $7.1 million, or 9%, increase in veterinary invoice expense, partially offset by a $2.6 million, or 11%, decrease in other cost of revenue. The 9% increase in veterinary invoice expense was primarily driven by a 25% increase in veterinary invoice expense per pet, partially offset by a decrease in pet months in this segment primarily reflecting the expected run-off of pets we historically insured for Pets Best. Cost of revenue for the other business segment remained constant at 93% of revenue year-over-year.

This increase was driven by a $33.2 million, or 11%, increase in veterinary invoice expense and a $4.2 million, or 11%, increase in other cost of revenue. The 11% increase in veterinary invoice expense was driven by a 6% increase in veterinary invoice expense per pet and an increase in total subscription pet months for policies underwritten by Trupanion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):
Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 30,989 $ 9,290
Net cash used in investing activities (51,440) (30,454)
Net cash used in financing activities (16,346) (1,244)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, net 1,738 (463)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ (35,059) $ (22,871)
Our primary requirements for liquidity are paying veterinary invoices, funding and growing our operations, funding our capital requirements, investing in new member acquisition, investing in enhancements to our member experience, and servicing debt. We have certain contractual obligations in the normal course of business, including obligations and commitments relating to our Credit Facility, non-cancellable vendor purchase agreements, as well as future payments of veterinary invoices. Refer to Note 7, Reserve for Veterinary Invoices, included in Item 1 of Part I of this report, for further details on anticipated cash outflows.
Most recently, our primary source of liquidity has been cash provided by our operations. We believe our operating cash flow is sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for the next 12 months. As we continue to grow and consider strategic opportunities, however, we may explore additional financing to fund our operations and growth or for strategic purposes. Financing could include equity, equity-linked, or debt financing. Additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If our capital surplus grows relative to the rate of growth of our business, we may also generate cash for operations and growth via dividends or other methods, from one or more of our underwriting entities.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $319.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which $266.3 million was held by our insurance entities. Outside of insurance entities, we held $53.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with an additional $15.0 million available under our Credit Facility.
In April 2021, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program, pursuant to which we may, between May 2021 and May 2026, repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock. While our board of directors has approved the program, any repurchase activity is subject to quarterly assessment and board approval, based on various factors including available cash, our stock price relative to our estimated intrinsic value, forecasted operating results, and available opportunities to deploy capital. We repurchased no shares under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by improved operating results, largely driven by higher revenue and improved Subscription Business margins, and timing differences in other working capital activities. Changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue were primarily related to annual policies with annual payment terms within our Other Business segment. Changes in our reserve for veterinary invoices are driven by multiple factors, including ongoing analysis of claims frequency and severity as well as changes in claims inventory at period end.
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in investing activities was $51.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily consisting of purchases of investment securities of $142.0 million as well as $4.9 million of capital expenditures primarily related to the development of internal-use software focused on member experience, claims processing and internal policy management improvements, partially offset by $94.3 million in sales and maturities of investment securities. Net cash used in investing activities was $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily consisting of $81.2 million in purchases of investments as well as $5.9 million of capital expenditures primarily related to the development of internal-use software focused on member experience, claims processing and internal policy management improvements, partially offset by $55.7 million in sales and maturities of investment securities.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash used in financing activities was $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily consisting of $15.5 million in repayments on the Credit Facility. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily consisting of $0.7 million in repayments on the Credit Facility.
Long-Term Debt
Our Credit Facility provides us with up to $ 150.0 million of credit. As of June 30, 2025, we have outstanding term loans totaling $116.4 million under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries. In June 2025, we made a $ 14.9 million principal repayment on the Initial Term Loan. Refer to Note 8, Debt, included in Item 1 of Part I of this report, for further details.

Regulation
As of June 30, 2025, our insurance entities collectively held $69.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, to be used for operating expenses of our insurance entities, $196.8 million in short-term investments and $288.5 million in other current assets. The majority of the assets in our insurance entities are subject to certain capital and dividend rules and regulations prescribed by jurisdictions in which they are authorized to operate.
American Pet Insurance Company ("APIC")
The majority of our investments are held by our insurance entities to satisfy risk-based capital requirements of our regulators based on requirements published by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). The NAIC requirements provide a method for analyzing the minimum amount of risk-based capital (statutory capital and surplus plus other adjustments) appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations, taking into account the risk characteristics of the company’s assets, liabilities and certain other items . An insurance company found to have insufficient statutory capital based on its risk-based capital ratio may be subject to varying levels of additional regulatory oversight depending on the level of capital inadequacy. APIC must hold certain capital amounts in order to comply with the statutory regulations and, therefore, we cannot use these amounts for general operating purposes without regulatory approval. As our business grows, the amount of capital we are required to maintain to satisfy our risk-based capital requirements will also increase, though risk-based capital requirements also take our overall rate of growth into consideration. Recently, our other business segment growth has slowed and, currently, we expect that to continue, which would reduce capital requirements. In May 2025, APIC distributed an extraordinary dividend of $26.0 million to Trupanion, Inc.
ZPIC Insurance Company ("ZPIC") and GPIC Insurance Company ("GPIC")
In 2021, we established a new wholly-owned U.S. insurance subsidiary, ZPIC, domiciled in Missouri, and in 2022 we established a new wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, GPIC, domiciled in Canada. In 2025, we began underwriting an immaterial amount of business, which is expected to increase in the future, generated by GPIC. We formed these insurance subsidiaries to provide us flexibility as to the insurance entity we use to market and write policies. We have funded the required statutory capital to each of these new subsidiaries.
Wyndham Insurance Company (SAC) Limited ("WICL") Segregated Account AX, Wyndham Insurance Company (SAC) Limited Segregated Account Trupanion Germany and Wyndham Insurance Company (SAC) Limited Segregated Account Trupanion Switzerland
WICL is domiciled in Bermuda and regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA").

Though we are not directly regulated by the BMA, WICL's regulation and compliance impacts us as it could have an adverse impact on our ability to secure dividends from our WICL segregated accounts. WICL is regulated by the BMA under the Insurance Act of 1978 ("Insurance Act") and the Segregated Accounts Company Act of 2000. The Insurance Act imposes on Bermuda insurance companies, solvency and liquidity standards, certain restrictions on the declaration and payment of dividends and distributions, certain restrictions on the reduction of statutory capital, and auditing and reporting requirements, and grants the BMA powers to supervise and, in certain circumstances, to investigate and intervene in the affairs of insurance companies. Under the Insurance Act, WICL, as a class 3 insurer, is required to maintain available statutory capital and surplus at a level equal to or in excess of a prescribed minimum established by reference to net written premiums and loss reserves.
Under the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, as amended, a Bermuda company may not declare or pay a dividend or make a distribution out of contributed surplus if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (a) the company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (b) the realizable value of the company’s assets would thereby be less than its liabilities. The Segregated Accounts Company Act of 2000 further requires that dividends out of a segregated account can only be paid to the extent that the account remains solvent and the value of its assets remain greater than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.
Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations because they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Generally, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates as compared to those described under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
