About Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc.

About Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc.

Slide Insurance Holdings posted $1,796 million in gross premiums written in 2025, up from $1,334 million in 2024, while achieving a 52.1% combined ratio and $444 million in net income. Organized as an admitted carrier in Florida and South Carolina, the company underwrites homeowners and commercial residential property policies in catastrophe-exposed coastal markets under oversight of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, with $2.9 billion in total assets and $1.1 billion in shareholders' equity at year-end 2025.

Slide earns premium income from homeowners and commercial residential policies distributed through a network of independent agents and a growing direct-to-consumer channel embedded with mortgage bankers. A substantial portion of historical premium volume originated from 23 separate policy assumption transactions under Citizens Property Insurance Corporation's state-managed depopulation program between August 2023 and December 2025. Reinsurance is the company's single largest cost: the 2025-2026 program spans 30 private reinsurers (all rated 'A-' or higher by AM Best), mandatory FHCF coverage, and four catastrophe bonds with $660 million in remaining coverage through Purple Re Ltd., a Bermuda special-purpose insurer, structured to protect against losses to the 1-in-143-year return period. Shareholders' equity grew from $102 million in 2021 to $1,113 million in 2025, a CAGR of 55%.

Show full overview

Slide's annual reinsurance treaties covering private catastrophe excess of loss layers expire May 31, 2026, exposing the company to pricing and availability risk at renewal in each successive wind season. The 10-K discloses that if reinsurance becomes unavailable or unaffordable, the company could face increased net retained catastrophe exposures, reduced underwriting volume, or a downgrade from Demotech's current 'A, Exceptional' Financial Stability Rating, which would impair the company's ability to attract and retain policyholders in Florida where its competitive position depends on admitted-market capacity.
