Oxbridge shows progress in tokenized reinsurance despite financial setbacks from Hurricane Milton, with Q2 losses widening to $1.87M amid strategic blockchain partnerships.

Oxbridge's Q2 results paint a picture of a company at a strategic inflection point - balancing innovation in tokenized reinsurance with challenging financial performance. The company reported a widened net loss of $1.87 million ($0.25 loss per share) compared to $821,000 loss in Q2 2024, primarily due to Hurricane Milton impacts. While net premiums earned increased modestly to $582,000 (up from $564,000 year-over-year), the loss ratio ballooned to 394% from significant hurricane-related claims.

The company's strategic positioning shows more promise than its current financials. As the first Nasdaq-listed firm to issue tokenized reinsurance securities, Oxbridge is pioneering blockchain applications in the $750 billion reinsurance market. Their new strategic partnerships with Plume (an RWA platform) and the Midnight Foundation (supporting a privacy-focused blockchain) could enhance distribution capabilities and market reach. Their tokenized offerings are targeting ambitious returns - 20% for balanced-yield and 42% for high-yield products.

Most concerning is the deteriorating combined ratio, which skyrocketed to 621% for Q2 (versus 111.3% last year). This metric, crucial for assessing underwriting profitability, reflects both the $2.29 million Hurricane Milton loss and escalating expenses from marketing, tokenization initiatives, and legal costs. While restricted cash increased by $760,000 to $6.7 million, this was supported by a $2.7 million registered direct offering, not operational performance.

The upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting could be pivotal as management seeks approval for strategic acceleration measures, likely essential given the current financial challenges despite the innovative business direction.

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OXBR), (the “Company”), a leader in digitizing reinsurance securities as tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), together with its subsidiary SurancePlus, today reported its results for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

“The quarter marked a pivotal moment for Oxbridge and SurancePlus. We have not only expanded our footprint in the rapidly growing tokenized reinsurance market but also forged strategic partnerships that position us for accelerated growth. As the first Nasdaq-listed company to issue a tokenized reinsurance security, we are proving that innovation and compliance can go hand-in-hand, creating new opportunities for investors and setting a high standard for the industry. We have scheduled an Extraordinary General Meeting to approve measures that will accelerate our strategy and strengthen our leadership. These initiatives, combined with our focus on transparency, position us to capture significant growth opportunities in the quarters ahead,” said Jay Madhu, Chairman and CEO of Oxbridge. 

Building on the Company’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Plume last quarter, a leading Real-World Asset (RWA) platform with institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure and a proven track record in scaling compliant blockchain solutions, the Company announced a strategic partnership with the Midnight Foundation. The Midnight Foundation supports ecosystem growth and enterprise adoption for the Midnight Network, a privacy-focused blockchain built by Shielded Technologies, a subsidiary of Input Output Global (IOG), the firm behind Cardano. These alliances expand SurancePlus’s reach, strengthen distribution capabilities, and position the platform at the forefront of blockchain-enabled RWA innovation. 

SurancePlus is also highlighting its launched 2025–2026 tokenized reinsurance offerings, which provide a diverse range of investment opportunities within the $750 billion reinsurance market, a sector historically uncorrelated to broader capital markets. These offerings include a balanced-yield product targeting a 20% annual return and a high-yield product targeting a 42% annual return. Together, they broaden the investor base by delivering compliant, blockchain-powered pathways into a large, traditionally inaccessible asset class. 

This year, the Company has been an active participant and sponsor at leading Blockchain and RWA events globally, including iConnections in Miami, ETHDenver 2025 and RWA Day in Denver, Apex Invest 2025 in the Cayman Islands, Token2049 in Dubai, Money20/20 Europe in Amsterdam, Permissionless IV and Yield Day NYC in New York, EthCC in Cannes, and Rare Evo 2025 in Las Vegas. These forums provided an opportunity to showcase SurancePlus, strengthen industry relationships, sign new partnerships, and explore collaborative opportunities with leading blockchain platforms.

Financial Performance

Net premiums earned for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 increased to $582,000 from $564,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net premiums earned for the six-months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $1.18 million from $1.11 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increases are due to the higher rates on contracts that were in force in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the contracts in force in the prior-year periods.
  
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $1.87 million, or ($0.25) basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $821,000, or ($0.14) basic and diluted loss per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net loss for the six-months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.01 million, or ($0.28) basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $1.73 million, or ($0.29) basic and diluted loss per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases in net loss are primarily due to the adverse development and loss recognition from Hurricane Milton on one of our reinsurance contracts during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, when compared with the prior periods.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, total expenses, comprising of loss and loss adjustment expenses, policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, increased to $3.61 million from $628,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total expenses, increased to $4.18 million from $1.18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases are primarily due to the adverse development and loss recognition from Hurricane Milton, coupled with increased human resources and personnel costs, professional marketing and IR costs, our web3 subsidiary tokenization costs, renewed S-3 related costs and legal expenditures, when compared with the prior-year periods.

As of June 30, 2025, our restricted cash and cash equivalents increased by $760,000 or 12.90%, to $6.7 million, from $5.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily the net result of premium deposits made during the six-months ending June 30, 2025, the registered direct offering that generated $2.7 million net of expenses and the payment of underwriting losses and general expenses.

Financial Ratios

Loss Ratio. The loss ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to premiums earned and measures the underwriting profitability of our reinsurance business. The loss ratio increased to 394% and 194.8% for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, when compared with the prior comparative periods. This was due to the full limit loss of $2.29 million on one of our reinsurance contracts affected by Hurricane Milton. The net impact of the Hurricane Milton’s loss on the Company’s equity, after accounting for the portion of losses borne by external tokenholders’, was $1.18 million.

Acquisition Cost Ratio. The acquisition cost ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses to net premiums earned. The acquisition cost ratio measures our operational efficiency in producing, underwriting and administering our reinsurance business.

The acquisition cost ratio remained consistent at 11.0% for the quarter end and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared with the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024.

Expense Ratio. The expense ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses to net premiums earned. We use the expense ratio to measure our operating performance. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, the expense ratio increased to 227%, from 111.3% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the expense ratio increased to 160.7%, from 105.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The increases are primarily due to increased professional costs relating to investor relations and our web3 subsidiary marketing and operations, renewed S-3 related costs, increased human resources and personnel costs and legal expenditures during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, when compared with the prior comparable periods.

Combined ratio. We use the combined ratio to measure our underwriting performance. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio.
