a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company, today provided an update on the Companys fourth quarter 2024 financial results as well as an estimate of catastrophe loss from the Southern California wildfires expected to be
incurred in the first quarter 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Update:
The Company expects to deliver its best earnings quarter of the year in the fourth quarter of 2024, exceeding the $18.9 million of after-tax net income achieved in the second quarter of 2024. This strong result includes an estimated $57.0 million impact from Hurricane Milton in the fourth quarter of 2024, which includes retained
catastrophe losses of $40.0 million and a net reinstatement premium of $17.0 million. Lower than anticipated non-catastrophe accident year losses had a favorable impact on the quarter. As of
January 21, 2025, the Company had settled over 9,000 2024 hurricane claims and has paid over $140 million for those claims. The Company has also closed approximately 90% of the hurricane claims reported in 2024.
First Quarter 2025 Update:
The Company expects to incur
approximately $35.0 - $40.0 million of pre-tax net current accident quarter catastrophe losses stemming from the Southern California wildfires in the first quarter of 2025. The Company is participating in insurance villages in the State of
California, which are events where our personnel can meet directly with affected policyholders to support our insureds recovery.
Ernie Garateix,
CEO of Heritage, commented, We want to express our deepest sympathies for all those affected by the Southern California wildfires. Heritage is deeply committed to supporting our customers and communities as they begin the difficult process of
