Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 26, 2026, Accelerant Holdings (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain preliminary financial information for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The preliminary financial information set forth in the press release for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 reflects preliminary, unaudited estimates with respect to such results based solely on currently available information, which is subject to change. The Company has not completed its normal quarterly and year-end closing procedures for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and there can be no assurance that final results for the quarter and year-end will not differ materially from the preliminary financial information included in the press release, including as a result of year-end closing procedures, adjustments and the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements.

In addition, certain statements set forth in such press release are forward-looking statements. See “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and the Company’s financial statements and related notes included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between the preliminary estimated financial results that are presented in such press release and the actual financial results the Company will report. These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these preliminary unaudited results.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Company specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information described under Item 2.02 above is incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01.
