Pattern Detected

Earnings releases have generally been positive on fundamentals, with four of the last five prompting aligned price moves and one notable selloff on strong results.

Recent Company History

Over the last year, Hippo’s earnings reports have marked a transition to profitability and better underwriting. Q1 2025 was weighed down by wildfire losses, but subsequent quarters showed rising revenue, improving loss ratios and multiple quarters of positive net income. Guidance for 2025–2026 consistently emphasized growth in gross written premium and tighter combined ratios. Today’s Q1 2026 release, with higher revenue, sharply better loss metrics and raised full‑year guidance, continues that trajectory of improving financial performance and capital efficiency.

Earnings updates show a progression from heavy catastrophe-driven losses in early 2024–2025 toward sustained profitability, improving loss and combined ratios, and increasingly confident guidance on gross written premium and adjusted net income.

Key Terms

gross written premium, net written premium, net loss ratio, combined ratio, +3 more
7 terms
gross written premium financial
"Gross Written Premium increased 58% to $332 million over 1Q25"
Gross written premium is the total value of insurance policies a company has sold during a period, measured before any cancellations, refunds or transfers to other insurers are taken out. Think of it as the company’s topline sales number for insurance, like a store reporting total receipts before returns — it shows scale and sales momentum and helps investors gauge growth, market share and potential exposure to claims.
net written premium financial
"Net Written Premium | 101.4 | | 100.3"
Net written premium is the total amount of new insurance coverage an insurer sells during a period after subtracting the portion it passes on to reinsurers. Think of it like a store’s sales minus the part it outsources to a wholesaler: it shows how much business the insurer actually keeps and is responsible for, so investors use it to gauge growth, risk exposure and the company’s potential revenue from underwriting.
net loss ratio financial
"Net Loss Ratio improved 58 percentage points to 48.0% compared to 1Q25"
Net loss ratio is the share of an insurer’s premium revenue that goes toward paying claims and claim-related expenses after deducting reinsurance and similar adjustments. For investors, it shows how much of the company’s core revenue is eaten by payouts — like a shop that tells you what percent of sales is spent on refunds — so a lower net loss ratio generally signals healthier underwriting and higher potential profitability.
combined ratio financial
"Combined Ratio improved 60 percentage points to 99.5% compared to 1Q25"
The combined ratio is a way insurance companies measure how well they are doing by adding up all their costs and claims and comparing them to the money they earn from premiums. If the ratio is below 100%, it means the company is making a profit; if it's above 100%, they are losing money. It helps see if an insurance company is financially healthy or not.
book value per share financial
"Book Value per share of $17.23 up 2% from year-end 2025"
Book value per share is a company’s net worth on paper — total assets minus liabilities — divided by the number of outstanding shares, showing the equity value attributable to each share. Investors use it like a per-slice estimate of a company’s underlying value to compare with the market price; if the market price is far above the book value, the stock may be priced for strong future profits, and if it’s below, the stock might look undervalued or reflect asset concerns.
tangible book value per share financial
"Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS) (2) | $15.09 | | $14.76"
Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.
non-gaap financial measure financial
"Indicates non-GAAP financial measure; see "Reconciliation of Non GAAP Financial Measures""
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

First Quarter Operating Summary

Net income of $7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to a $48 million net loss in Q1 of last year. The improvement was driven primarily by stronger underwriting performance. The first quarter of 2025 included a $45 million loss from California wildfires, and the absence of a comparable event this period more than offset the reduction in fee income following the sale of the builders distribution network.

Adjusted net income of $17 million, or $0.65 a diluted share, compared to a $35 million net adjusted loss in Q1 of last year. This quarter's results equate to a 16% annualized adjusted return on average shareholders equity.

Gross written premium of $332 million for the quarter increased 58% year over year, up from $211 million in Q1 of last year. Growth was driven by both the Casualty and Commercial Multi-Peril (CMP) lines which were up 193% and 89% over last year, to $101 million and $96 million, respectively. The overall growth strategy is focused on improving underwriting profitability and reducing volatility, including through greater portfolio diversification. For the quarter, Casualty accounted for 30% of gross written premium, compared to CMP which accounted for 29% and Homeowners which accounted for 26%.

Net written premium of $101 million increased by $1 million or 1% from Q1 of last year. Growth in net written premium was lower than the growth in gross written premium due to both a mix shift and a reduction in the Renters line, which contracted by $26 million year over year, on account of a change in retention rate in 2026 vs 2025, and an accompanying unearned premium adjustment related to this change. The 31% net retention rate in the quarter was slightly below our full-year guidance, and driven primarily by the one-time unearned premium adjustment noted above. We expect retention to normalize later in the year, though it may fluctuate quarter to quarter based on growth-related mix shifts.

Revenue in the quarter of $122 million increased 10% from $110 million in Q1 of last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher net earned premium up 13% to $99 million, which more than offset a $5.5 million decline in commissions following the sale of our homebuilder distribution network in Q3'25.

Net Loss ratio of 48.0% improved 58 percentage points over the prior year. This improvement was driven primarily by lower CAT losses this quarter compared to Q1 of last year, which was impacted by the California wildfires. The net accident year loss ratio excluding CAT losses of 46.3% improved by 2 percentage points over the  Q1 of last year.

Expense ratio of 51.5% improved 2 percentage points over the prior year period driven by continued improvement of operating leverage, and despite prior year period benefiting from roughly 4.5 percentage point of profits generated by the homebuilder distribution network we sold in Q3'25.

Combined ratio of 99.5% improved 60 percentage points over the prior year, similarly driven by stronger underwriting performance and a lower expense ratio noted above.

Total Hippo shareholder equity of $449 million, or $17.23 per share, at March 31, 2026, was up 2%, from $436 million, or $16.97 per share, at year-end 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the first quarter net income.

Information about Key Operating Metrics/Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define adjusted net income, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as net income excluding the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook, net of tax impact. We calculate the tax impact only on adjustments which would be included in calculating our income tax expense using the estimated tax rate at which the company received a deduction for these adjustments. We use adjusted net income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and financial statement users useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted net income does not reflect the overall profitably of our business and should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define adjusted net income differently.

We define diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period, reflecting the dilution which could occur if equity-based awards are converted into common share equivalents as calculated using the treasury stock method. Diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share should not be viewed as a substitute for diluted earnings (loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per share differently.

We define annualized adjusted return on equity, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as adjusted net income (loss) expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending Hippo stockholders' equity during the period. We use annualized adjusted return on equity as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and financial statement users useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Annualized adjusted return on equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define annualized adjusted return on equity differently.

We define tangible book value per share, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as total stockholders' equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Our definition of tangible book value per share may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for book value per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible book value per share internally to evaluate changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

These Non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterpart is included above. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Hippo.

  • our business strategy, including our cost reduction efforts, our diversified distribution strategy, and our plans to expand into new markets and new products;

  • potential harm caused by changes in internet search engines' methodologies;

  • our denial of claims or our failure to accurately and timely pay claims;

  • the effects of severe weather events and other natural or man-made catastrophes, including the effects of climate change, global pandemics, and terrorism;

  • any overall decline in economic activity;

  • regulators' identification of errors in the policy forms we use, the rates we charge, and our customer communications, including cancellations, non-renewals, and reinstatements, through market conduct exams, complaints, or other inquiries;

  • our ability to navigate extensive insurance industry regulations and the scrutiny of state insurance regulators, and the effects of existing or new legal or regulatory requirements on our business, including with respect to maintenance of risk-based capital and financial strength ratings, the insurance industry generally, and data privacy and cybersecurity, in the United States and internationally;

  • our expected use of cash on our balance sheet, our future capital needs, and our ability to raise additional capital;

  • fluctuations in our results of operations and operating metrics; and

  • our public securities' liquidity and trading.

These statements are based on the current expectations of Hippo's management and are not predictions of actual performance. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions, and many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Hippo. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this press release, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those described above and other risks set forth in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in other documents that may be filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Hippo does not presently know or that Hippo currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results, events, or circumstances to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this press release and reflect Hippo's expectations, plans, forecasts, and views of future events as of that date. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Hippo's views as of any subsequent date, and Hippo does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. While Hippo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Hippo specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
