Q2 Revenue of $241.12M, CEO Notes Market Challenges
Reports Q2 revenue $241.12M vs. $247.15M last year. CEO Kevin Burke stated, "Our net premiums earned for Q2 of 2026 reflected a continuation of challenging trends and market conditions we experienced last quarter. Against that backdrop, we are pleased to report solid quarterly results that provided further growth in our book value to $17.98 per share at June 30, 2026, compared to $17.54 at the end of the first quarter of 2026...On the whole, our underwriting results for Q2 2026 were solid, which we primarily attribute to favorable core loss ratios in both our commercial and personal lines segments, lower-than-average weather-related losses and favorable prior-year reserve development, offset partially by a moderate increase in large fire losses. Solid underwriting performance and enhanced investment income allowed us to continue growing our book value in Q2. While we face a softening phase of the insurance cycle, we have established a strong foundation over the past several years, and we continue to believe that the effective ongoing execution of our strategies will enhance stockholder value over time. For example, we are beginning to realize benefits from our ongoing emphasis on enhanced engagement with our independent agents as a means of attracting profitable growth opportunities."
Q1 Revenue at $236M, CEO Notes Softening Market Conditions
Reports Q1 revenue $236M vs. $245.17M last year. CEO Kevin Burke stated, "Our Q1 of 2026 results reflected solid underlying operating performance despite softening conditions in the insurance markets we serve. At a high level, the past few years have been characterized by generally favorable conditions for our industry, and, as is often the case, a softening market has emerged as the availability of capital has led industry participants to reduce rates to win and retain accounts. Against this challenging backdrop, we remain committed to maintaining underwriting and pricing discipline as we pursue new, high-quality accounts and seek to retain existing accounts at adequate pricing levels...While our underwriting results for Q1of 2026 lagged the unusually favorable results we achieved for the prior-year quarter, we primarily attribute the lower profitability to higher-than-average weather-related losses and the impact of several large current-year and prior-year losses...We believe we are well positioned to build value for all of our constituents as we navigate the current market cycle. Coupling excellent service to our independent agents and policyholders with prudent underwriting and advancing operational capabilities, we expect to build upon the strong foundation we have established over the past several years. We believe that the effective ongoing execution of our strategies will enhance stockholder value over time."

Donegal Group reports Q2 EPS 46c vs. 13c last year
Kevin Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Donegal Group Inc., stated, "We are pleased with the progress we have made and the results we delivered for both the second quarter and first half of 2025, which we believe reflect the strength of our strategic execution and underwriting discipline. A meaningful improvement in our core loss ratio for both periods underscores our commitment to disciplined risk management and sustainable profitability. As expected, net premiums written declined this quarter, as lower new business writings and planned attrition modestly outpaced ongoing premium rate increases and solid retention levels. As a proactive measure, we intentionally slowed new business writings in our personal lines of business to protect underwriting margins and ensure we remain focused on profitable growth opportunities. We continue to identify and pursue profitable new business opportunities in states and classes that match our objectives. We reached a significant milestone in our multi-year systems modernization project with the successful deployment of our final major commercial lines systems release. During the second half of 2025, we will begin to roll out this enhanced platform on a state-by-state basis, enabling us to more effectively target and win key middle market accounts. When the rollout is completed in the first half of 2026, we will be operating on a single modern technology platform for all of our middle market and small business commercial product offerings."
