$HCI HCI Group completes 2025-2026 catastrophe reinsurance programs
HCI Group has successfully completed its catastrophe reinsurance programs for the 2025-2026 treaty year, which runs from June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026. HCI secured three reinsurance towers for the 2025-2026 treaty year. Reinsurance Tower 1 is shared between HCI subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, and HCI sponsored reciprocal insurance company, Tailrow Insurance Exchange, and covers all Homeowners Choice policies issued in Florida and all Tailrow policies issued in Florida.
Reinsurance Tower 2 is shared between HCI subsidiary, TypTap Insurance Company, and Homeowners Choice and covers all TypTap policies (whether issued in Florida or outside of Florida) and all Homeowners Choice policies issued outside of Florida. Reinsurance Tower 3 covers all Condo Owners Reciprocal Exchange policies issued in Florida. Condo Owners Reciprocal Exchange, known as CORE, is a reciprocal insurance company sponsored by HCI.
Across the three reinsurance towers, HCI secured over
$3.5B in excess of loss aggregate limit and full reinstatement premium protection for the 2025-2026 treaty year. The statutory retentions for the first and second event are
$18M for both Reinsurance Tower 1 and Reinsurance Tower 2, and
$3M for Reinsurance Tower 3.
Claddaugh's estimated maximum retained loss is approximately
$117M for a first event and
$35M for a second event. For the three reinsurance towers, HCI expects to incur net consolidated reinsurance premiums ceded to third parties, excluding Claddaugh, of approximately
$422M from June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026. The reinsurance premiums are an estimate based on exposure projections and subject to true up at September 30, 2025.
