[8-K] Accelerant Holdings Reports Material Event
Accelerant Holdings reported strong growth for Q4 and full-year 2025 while announcing a major capital return and finance leadership change. Exchange Written Premium reached $1.09 billion in Q4 2025, up 24% year over year, with total revenue of $248.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $70.5 million, a 28% margin. For 2025, Exchange Written Premium was $4.19 billion and revenue $912.9 million, while Adjusted EBITDA rose to $281.8 million and margin to 31%. GAAP results showed a $1,345.2 million net loss, driven largely by $1,379.7 million in non-recurring profits interest distribution expenses tied to the IPO. The Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $200 million of Class A shares through December 31, 2028. The company is shifting toward a more capital-light model, with third-party direct written premium at 40% of Q4 Exchange Written Premium. Accelerant also announced that longtime industry executive Linda S. Huber will become Chief Financial Officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer on March 31, 2026, succeeding Jay Green, who is departing under a separation agreement. Management guided to continued growth in 2026, including Exchange Written Premium of approximately $5.1 billion and fee-based Adjusted EBITDA expansion.

Insights
Strong operational growth and a sizable buyback are partly offset by a one-time GAAP loss.
Accelerant is showing rapid scale in its risk exchange model. 2025 Exchange Written Premium grew to $4.19B, with total revenues of $912.9M. Non-GAAP profitability improved sharply, as Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $281.8M and margin expanded to 31%.
The business mix is moving toward a capital-light profile. Third-party direct written premium rose to 40% of Q4 Exchange Written Premium, while the gross loss ratio of about 51% suggests disciplined underwriting for risk capital partners. Segment data show particularly high margins in Exchange Services, which benefits from fee-based income.
The $1.38B profits interest distribution tied to the IPO produced a GAAP net loss of $(1.35)B, but this is explicitly characterized as non-recurring. The new $200M share repurchase authorization through December 31, 2028 signals confidence in cash generation. Investors will look to upcoming quarters and the 2026 targets, including around $5.1B Exchange Written Premium and $275M Adjusted EBITDA, to confirm that high growth and margins are sustainable.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Chief Financial Officer Transition
On March 18, 2026, Accelerant Holdings (the “Company”) appointed Linda S. Huber as Chief Financial Officer and designated her as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, effective, in each case, on March 31, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). Jay Green will no longer serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, effective as of the Effective Date.
Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Huber, age 67, served as Chief Financial Officer of FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE: FDS), MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), and Moody’s Corporation (NYSE: MCO). Ms. Huber also served on the Board of Directors of the Bank of Montreal (NYSE: BMO), where she was a member of the Audit and Conduct Review Committee and the Risk Review Committee. Most recently, she worked as a strategic advisor to a leading investment management firm identifying investment opportunities in the financial data and analytics industry.
In connection with Ms. Huber’s appointment, she entered into an employment agreement with the Company on March 18, 2026 (the “Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Ms. Huber will receive an annualized base salary of $650,000, subject to annual increases based upon review by our compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”). In addition, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Ms. Huber is entitled to participate in the Company’s discretionary annual bonus arrangements with a target annual bonus opportunity of $1,053,000, which amount is guaranteed and not subject to performance adjustments with respect to 2026, subject only to Ms. Huber’s continued service through the bonus payment date in 2027. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Ms. Huber is also entitled to participate in the equity incentive program maintained for senior executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and is to receive a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award of $2,500,000 in March 2026, which will vest as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and as to six and one-quarter percent (6-1/4%) of the RSUs on the first day of each of the twelve (12) calendar quarters beginning after such anniversary. The Employment Agreement also provides that Ms. Huber’s annual target equity opportunity shall be $2,000,000 in grant date value, with 50% of such target opportunity delivered in RSUs and 50% delivered in PSUs, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee and the terms of the applicable equity plan and award agreements. She is also entitled to reimbursement of attorneys’ fees arising out of the negotiation of the Employment Agreement up to a maximum of $50,000.
Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, in the event Ms. Huber is terminated by us without “cause” or she terminates her employment for “good reason,” Ms. Huber would become entitled to receive: (i) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (A) two times Ms. Huber’s then-current base compensation plus (B) her target annual bonus for the year of termination paid over 12 months; (ii) up to 18 months of reimbursement for COBRA premiums; and (iii) Ms. Huber’s annual bonus for the year prior to the year of termination, if not yet paid (for the
2026 bonus, the amount of $1,053,000) at the time such bonuses are paid to executive officers of the Company. If Ms. Huber’s employment is terminated due to her death or disability, she would be entitled to her pro rata annual bonus for the year of such termination and her annual bonus for the year prior to the year of termination, if not yet paid (for the 2026 bonus, the amount of $1,053,000). In connection with Ms. Huber’s entry into the Employment Agreement, Ms. Huber also entered into a Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”) which subjects Ms. Huber to certain non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.

Ms. Huber does not have any family relationship with any director or other executive officer of the Company, or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer, and there are no transactions in which Ms. Huber has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K currently contemplated or since the beginning of the last fiscal year.
Mr. Green’s separation from the Company is a termination without “cause” for purposes of Mr. Green’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated November 5, 2025, including for purposes of determining all amounts payable to Mr. Green thereunder in connection with his separation. In connection with Mr. Green’s separation, he entered into a Separation Agreement with the Company dated March 18, 2026 which sets forth the terms of his separation and provides for payment of termination without “cause” benefits under his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. The description of the Separation Agreement in this Item 5.02 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

ATLANTA (March 18, 2026) – Accelerant Holdings (NYSE: ARX), a data-driven company modernizing the specialty insurance marketplace through the Accelerant Risk Exchange, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
“We closed out 2025 with a fantastic quarter, meeting or exceeding our expectations across our key operating metrics and continuing to expand the reach of the Accelerant Risk Exchange,” said Jeff Radke, Co-Founder and CEO. “The value of our technology and AI-driven platform is resonating within the specialty market, as reflected in the increasing share of business placed with third-party insurers. As we deepen our data advantage and strengthen alignment between Members and risk capital, we believe our momentum will continue into 2026 and beyond.”
“Our fourth quarter results reflect continued strong Exchange Written Premium growth, underpinned by growth in Third-Party Direct Written Premium and operating leverage,” said Jay Green, Accelerant’s Chief Financial Officer. “Exchange Written Premium grew 24% year-over-year at expanding margins, driving a 52% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $71 million. Third-party insurers accounted for 40% of that Accelerant Risk Exchange premium in the quarter, underscoring the continued shift toward a more capital-efficient model.
“Our 2026 outlook reflects continued momentum across the Accelerant Risk Exchange, with Exchange Written Premium expected to grow more than 20% year-over-year as third-party capital participation continues to expand,” said Green. “We expect that premium growth to drive attractive fee-based segment Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2026, as we continue to prioritize scaling the capital-light areas of our business.”
Commenting on the CFO Transition, Jeff Radke said, “We respect Jay’s decision to step away from the business and pursue personal priorities. On behalf of the Board and the entire team, I want to thank Jay for his leadership and dedication. We wish him all the best in the future.” Radke continued, “We are excited to welcome Linda Huber to the Accelerant team. Linda is a very accomplished public company finance executive, having previously held CFO positions at numerous financial information and analytics firms. She will play a key role in our subsequent chapters of growth as a publicly-traded company.”

Forward-Looking Statements
All statements in this release and in the corresponding earnings call that are not historical are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Accelerant Holdings (“we” or “our”) generally identifies forward-looking statements by use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “should,” “will” or “would,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about the markets in which we operate, including growth of our various markets, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions, or future events or performance contained in this release and in the corresponding earnings call are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed in Accelerant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as may be supplemented in Accelerant’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other periodic and current reports filed by Accelerant with the SEC, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, or could affect our share price.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In assessing the performance of our business, non-GAAP financial measures are used that are derived from our consolidated financial information but are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate our financial performance by excluding certain items that are related to our non-core business operations and therefore are not considered to be directly attributable to our underlying operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) should not be considered substitutes for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP net income or net (loss) as indicators of our financial performance. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because it does not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be construed as indications that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) less the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expenses, income tax expenses and the following items:
| | Other expenses: Represents costs related to our non-core business operations, primarily related to our global enterprise resource planning system and integrated financial reporting systems, and legal and advisory costs in connection with corporate development activities including mergers and acquisitions, capital raising activities and entity formations that support our growing business, and Mission profit sharing expenses. |
| | Non-recurring profits interest distribution expenses resulting from the IPO: Represents non-cash profits interest distribution expenses related to the settlement of all outstanding profits interest awards through the distribution of our 65,270,453 Class A common shares held by Accelerant Holdings LP to certain of our officers and employees that fully vested upon the IPO. These expenses were entirely offset by a corresponding capital contribution for that distribution of shares. These expenses only occurred at one point in time and will not recur. |
| | Share-based compensation expenses included within general and administrative expenses: Represents non-cash expense related to the fair value of share-based equity awards granted to employees and directors, including restricted stock units and stock options and other awards that can settle in cash, recognized over the requisite service period for the awards. |
| | Net foreign currency exchange gains (losses): The functional currency for each of our operating subsidiaries is generally the currency of the local operating environment. Transactions in currencies other than the local operation’s functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency, and the resulting foreign exchange gains or losses are reflected in net foreign currency exchange gains (losses). Such gains and losses are generally offset by the translation of our subsidiaries who have the corresponding reinsurance-related balances within their own functional currencies, whereby such effects are translated to other comprehensive income, yielding a much lower net impact on total comprehensive income and equity (such measure differs from Adjusted EBITDA as it includes the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as foreign currency exchange gains (losses)). |
We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as GAAP net income (loss) less the impact of other expenses, non-recurring profits interest distribution expenses, share-based compensation expenses, and the tax effect of the adjustments for other expenses (such measure differs from Adjusted EBITDA as it includes the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as foreign currency exchange gains (losses)). Adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated as adjusted net income for the respective periods divided by the sum of US GAAP basis diluted shares presented herein and certain dilutive restricted stock units. None of the share options were included, as the average share price over the period was below that of the exercise prices and the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin is an internal performance measure used in the management of our operations.
The reconciliation of the above non-GAAP measures to each of their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

| (1) | The tax effect of other expenses adjustments to net income (loss) for each period presented were calculated using the statutory tax rates for each of our legal entities where the expenses were incurred, including certain non-taxing jurisdictions. The statutory tax rates used in the calculations were adjusted in instances where our legal entities have applied full valuation allowances to their respective deferred tax assets of unutilized NOLs. As such, the tax effect for the respective years varies based on the jurisdictional mix of where the expenses were incurred in each year. |

Exhibit 99.2 Accelerant: The Global Specialty Insurance Risk Exchange March 2026

Legal Disclaimer Forward-Looking Statements All statements in this presentation that are not historical are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Accelerant Holdings (“we” or “our”) generally identifies forward- looking statements by use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “should,” “w ill” or “would,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about the markets in which we operate, including growth of our various markets, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions, or future events or performance contained in this release and in the corresponding earnings call are forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including those discussed in Accelerant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the headings “R isk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as may be supplemented in Accelerant’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other periodic and current reports filed by Accelerant with the SEC , may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, or could affect our share price. Market data and industry information used throughout this presentation are based on management’s knowledge of the industry and the good faith estimates of management. We also relied, to the extent available, upon management’s review of independent industry surveys and publications and other publicly available information prepared by a number of third-party sources. All of the market data and industry information used in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Although we believe that these sources are reliable as of their respective dates, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information, and we have not independently verified this information. Projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and beliefs and in the estimates prepared by independent parties. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In assessing the performance of our business, non-GAAP financial measures are used that are derived from our consolidated financial information but are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to evaluate our financial performance by excluding certain items that are related to our non-core business operations and therefore are not considered to be directly attributable to our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITD A, Adjusted EBITD A margin and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) should not be considered substitutes for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP net income or net (loss) as indicators of our financial performance. Although we use Adjusted EBITD A, Adjusted EBITD A margin and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because it does not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITD A, Adjusted EBITD A margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be construed as indications that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by us, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITD A and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) We define Adjusted EBITD A as GAAP net income (loss) less the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expenses, income tax expenses and the following items: • Other expenses: Represents costs related to our non-core business operations, primarily related to our global enterprise resource planning system and integrated financial reporting systems, and legal and advisory costs in connection with corporate development activities including mergers and acquisitions, capital raising activities and entity formations that support our growing business, and Mission profit sharing expenses. • Non-recurring profits interest distribution expenses resulting from the IPO: Represents non-cash profits interest distribution expenses related to the settlement of all outstanding profits interest awards through the distribution of our 65,270,453 Class A common shares held by Accelerant Holdings LP to certain of our officers and employees that fully vested upon the IPO. These expenses were entirely offset by a corresponding capital contribution for that distribution of shares. These expenses only occurred at one point in time and will not recur. • Share-based compensation expenses included within general and administrative expenses: Represents non-cash expense related to the fair value of share-based equity awards granted to employees and directors, including restricted stock units and stock options and other awards that can settle in cash, recognized over the requisite service period for the awards. • Net foreign currency exchange gains (losses): The functional currency for each of our operating subsidiaries is generally the currency of the local operating environment. Transactions in currencies other than the local operation’s functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency, and the resulting foreign exchange gains or losses are reflected in net foreign currency exchange gains (losses). Such gains and losses are generally offset by the translation of our subsidiaries who have the corresponding reinsurance-related balances within their own functional currencies, whereby such effects are translated to other comprehensive income, yielding a much lower net impact on total comprehensive income and equity (such measure differs from Adjusted EBITD A as it includes the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as foreign currency exchange gains (losses)). We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as GAAP net income (loss) less the impact of other expenses, non-recurring profits interest distribution expenses, share-based compensation expenses, and the tax effect of the adjustments for other expenses (such measure differs from Adjusted EBITD A as it includes the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as foreign currency exchange gains (losses)). Adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated as adjusted net income for the respective periods divided by the sum of US GAAP basis diluted shares presented herein and certain dilutive restricted stock units. None of the share options were included, as the average share price over the period was below that of the exercise prices and the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Adjusted EBITD A Margin We define Adjusted EBITD A margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted EBITD A divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITD A margin is an internal performance measure used in the management of our operations. The reconciliation of the above non-GAAP measures to each of their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release. 2

Definitions • Accelerant Direct Written Premium: Expressed as a percentage of Exchange Written Premium, the GWP written directly by Accelerant Underwriting companies, the majority of which we cede to third-party risk capital partners through our reinsurance arrangements. • Accelerant-Retained Exchange Premium: Expressed as a percentage, as Accelerant GWP net of ceded written premium for the trailing twelve month period, divided by total Exchange Written Premium for the trailing twelve month period. • Accelerant Underwriting: Accelerant’s owned insurance companies and reinsurance companies, and all revenue and expenses associated with them. • Ceding Commission Income: The company cedes a significant portion of the premiums written on behalf of Accelerant Underwriting companies to third-party reinsurance companies or institutional investors through Flywheel Re. This generates positive ceding commissions which are recorded as a reimbursement for (and reduction of) the acquisition costs related to the reinsurance portion of the ceded insurance business. Ceding commissions that are in excess of the proportionate share of the DAC of the business ceded are deferred and amortized over the same period in which the related premium is earned. The amortization of this excess ceding commission income is recorded as “Ceding commission income” in the consolidated statements of operations within revenue. Certain ceding commissions are subject to sliding scale adjustments based on the actual loss experience of covered insurance contracts, which can result in the need for us to refund previous commissions received, resulting in a reduction of income in the determined period. These adjustments often occur well after the ceding commissions are earned based on the development of insurance liabilities. In such instances, commission adjustments are not subject to deferral and are instead r ecorded directly as income or loss when determined. Accordingly, in all cases, we adjust ceding commissions as of the reporting date for our best estimate of loss experience for reinsured insurance policies. • Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily relate to amortization of capitalized technology development costs, as well as amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions of businesses (including investments in Owned Members). • Direct Commission Income: Accounting treatment of direct commissions received in the Exchange Services and the MGA Operations segments depend on whether the direct commission is being paid on an intercompany basis or by a third party. Direct commissions paid by one Accelerant entity to another (referred to as “intercompany basis”) are required to be eliminated in consolidation pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. These include fees paid by Accelerant Underwriting companies to the Risk Exchange, as well as commissions paid by the Risk Exchange to Mission Members and/or to Owned Members. These intercompany direct commissions are recognized under “Direct commission income” in our consolidated statement of operations under the segment to which they relate, and are fully recognized by the segment when the services and related performance obligations are completed. While these intercompany basis commissions are all eliminated on a consolidated basis, Accelerant nevertheless derives a significant economic benefit from these commissions. Unlike third partie s, which bear the costs of the services performed by the Risk Exchange in the form of cash payments, Accelerant Underwriting does not bear the cost of such services once fully eliminated, resulting in less commission amortization expense over the insurance policy term. This has the practical effect of increasing consolidated earnings as the corresponding premiums are earned. Direct commission income paid by third parties in the Exchange Services or MGA Operations segments are fully recognized in the current period under “Direct commission income” in the stateme nt of operations, to the extent that the underlying services and performance obligations to which they relate have been performed. As more business is written by Risk Exchange Insurers, we expect a higher proportion of direct commission income to be recognized on a consolidated basis (instead of being subject to elimination on an intercompany business basis as discussed above). • Exchange Services: Our Exchange Services segment includes the fees paid by Risk Exchange Insurers and Accelerant Underwriting for sourcing, managing and monitoring the portfolio of business written by Members reduced by the expenses associated with providing these services. • Exchange Written Premium: The total gross written premium written through the Risk Exchange, including both gross written premiums written on behalf of Accelerant Underwriting companies and written on behalf of Risk Exchange Insurers. • Flywheel Re: Flywheel Re Ltd. is an unconsolidated reinsurance sidecar entity, sponsored by Accelerant and through which institutional investors are offered specialty insurance risk and returns that are uncorrelated with broader financial markets. • Gross Loss Ratio: Expressed as a percentage, gross incurred losses and loss adjustment expense divided by gross earned premium. Gross loss ratio excludes the impact of premium and loss and loss adjustment expense ceded to reinsurers. Gross loss ratio represents the percentage of gross premium earned during the period that will be required to pay current and future claims, based on management’s best est imates. • Independent Members: Members in which Accelerant does not own an interest. • Independent Premium: The gross premium written by Independent Members and placed through our Risk Exchange. • MGA: Managing general agent; a third-party agent that receives delegated underwriting authority from a Primary Insurance Company to w rite insurance risk on its behalf. As used in this presentation, the term “MGA” refers generically to agents receiving this delegation of underwriting authority, including MGUs, MGAs, and/or program managers and any Member or other entity in relation to which the term “MGA” is used in this presentation may not fall within the regulatory definition of a “managing general agent” in the jurisdictions in which it operates. • MGU: Managing general underwriter; a third-party agent that receives delegated underwriting authority from a Primary Insurance Company to write insurance risk on its behalf. • Mission Members: Specialty underwriters that we incubate through Mission Underwriters and in which we have an equity ownership interest. • Mission Underwriters: Mission Underwriting Holdings, LLC. Mission Underwriters is a subsidiary that was initially funded by equity capital from our controlling shareholder and operated by our management team, and whose equity interests were acquired by Accelerant Holdings on May 1, 2024. Prior to May 1, 2024, Mission Underwriters was a consolidated variable interest entity. Mission Underwriters provides specialty underwriters with the working capital, operational support, and balance sheet capacity necessary to operate independent businesses in which they own a majority ownership interest, which act as Members on our Risk Exchange. • Net Revenue Retention: Expressed as a percentage, the current period's Exchange Written Premium of Members that were actively writing Exchange Written Premium in the prior period divided by these same Members' prior-period Exchange Written Premium. This measure demonstrates an aggregate measure of the net growth of Exchange Written Premium from previously onboarded Members. • Organic Revenue Growth Rate: We define organic revenue growth rate, a non-GAAP financial measure, as the percentage change in revenue, as compared to the same period for the prior year, adjusted for revenue attributable to recent acquisitions of Owned Members that we now consolidate that occurred during the most recent period of comparison. We believe this measure is useful to management and investors in evaluating the internally generated growth of the business based on the Company’s ability to attract new Members and grow the business of existing Members. • Other Expenses: Other expenses are primarily related to information technology and development costs, including certain costs associated with the Risk Exchange and costs related to global enterprise projects that primarily relate to the implementation of our global enterprise resource planning system and integrated financial reporting systems. • Risk capital partners: Third-party insurance companies, reinsurers or institutional investors that provide capacity through the Risk Exchange, directly or indirectly. • Risk Exchange Insurer: Third-party Primary Insurance Company deploying underwriting capacity directly through our Risk Exchange. • Third-Party Direct Written Premium: GWP written directly with our Risk Exchange Insurers. 37
