Management Commentary

Meryl Golden, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kingstone, stated, "First quarter results reflected elevated winter catastrophe activity across the Northeast, resulting in a GAAP combined ratio of 112.0%. The winter storm season in Q1 was exceptionally severe for downstate New York and ranked as the coldest and snowiest in 11 years. Importantly, this level of catastrophe activity was in-line with our guidance and does not detract from the underlying strength of our business.

Excluding catastrophes, our performance underscores the earnings power of the platform we have built. Our underlying combined ratio¹ improved 5.1 points year-over-year to 88.3%, supported by low non-catastrophe loss frequency, higher average premium, and continued discipline in underwriting and expense management. These results reinforce the structural profitability improvements we have made over the past several years.

Growth remained strong in the quarter with direct premiums written¹ increasing 20%, driven by continued momentum in our New York homeowners business, higher average premiums, and solid retention. While policy volume was more moderate in January and February, likely due to the bad weather, March represented one of our strongest months of new business volume, reflecting sustained demand and the competitiveness of our product offering.

Our operating model continues to differentiate Kingstone. The increasing mix of our Select product is driving improved risk selection and loss performance, while our scalable platform enables us to grow efficiently. At the same time, our conservative reinsurance ensures that catastrophe events are an earnings event, not a capital event, allowing us to maintain financial flexibility even in periods of increased severe weather.

Looking ahead, we remain confident in our trajectory and our full year 2026 guidance. Our underlying performance trends, combined with continued rate adequacy and disciplined growth, position us well to deliver strong profitability. We are also advancing our strategic initiatives, including our planned entry into California in the second quarter and the recent launch of Kingstone America Insurance Company, which will support our expansion into new markets on an admitted and non-admitted basis, starting with Connecticut in the third quarter. We will continue to execute with discipline, manage catastrophe exposure prudently, and invest in scalable growth opportunities to deliver long-term value to our shareholders."

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

(see "Disclaimer and Forward-Looking Statements" below)

The Company is reiterating its growth and profitability outlook for fiscal year 2026, which was originally issued on March 5, 2026. The guidance below reflects management's current expectations based on information available as of May 7, 2026 and is subject to the risks and uncertainties described in "Disclaimer and Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Guidance Metrics	2026 Estimate
Direct premiums written^1,4 growth	16% to 20%
Net combined ratio	81% to 86%
Underlying combined ratio^1,2 (excluding catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development)	74% to 76%
Prior-year reserve development	—%
Catastrophe loss ratio³	7% to 10%
Net income per share – diluted	$2.20 to $2.90
Return on equity	24% to 30%

¹Refer to "Definitions and Non-GAAP Measures" for definitions and first quarter 2026 reconciliations.

²The Underlying Combined Ratio is a non-GAAP measure. It is computed as the sum of the underlying loss ratio (which is a non-GAAP measure) and the net underwriting expense ratio. The underlying loss ratio excludes catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development from the GAAP net loss ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the net combined ratio. Refer to the section entitled "Definitions and Non-GAAP Measures" included in this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the 2026 estimate of Underlying Combined Ratio to the GAAP net combined ratio is not provided because the Company is unable to predict catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development with reasonable certainty without unreasonable efforts. These items could materially impact the GAAP measure.

³ The catastrophe loss ratio estimate for 2026 of 7% to 10% is at or above the Company's six-year historical average of 7.1% (2019–2024) and gives effect to the elevated winter storm activity experienced in first quarter of 2026. Catastrophe losses are reported net of reinsurance recoveries and include loss adjustment expenses. The Company defines catastrophe events consistent with PCS industry designations.

⁴Guidance for the most comparable GAAP measure, net premiums earned, is not provided because net premiums earned is an output of multiple variables including direct written premium growth, quota share cession rates, and premium earning patterns, several of which are not within the Company's direct control; therefore the Company is unable to predict such variables with reasonable certainty without unreasonable efforts.

Definitions and Non-GAAP Measures

Direct premiums written is a non-GAAP measure, which represent the total premiums charged on policies issued by the Company during the respective fiscal period.

Net premiums written is a non-GAAP measure, which are direct premiums written less premiums ceded to reinsurers. Net premiums earned, the GAAP measure most comparable to direct premiums written and net premiums written, are net premiums written that are pro-rata earned during the fiscal period presented. All of the Company's policies are written for a twelve-month period. Management uses direct premiums written and net premiums written, along with other measures, to gauge the Company's performance and evaluate results. Direct premiums written and net premiums written are provided as supplemental information, not as a substitute for net premiums earned, and do not reflect the Company's net premiums earned.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which is net income (loss) exclusive of interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, net gains (losses) on investments, gain on sale of real estate, and stock-based compensation. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most closely comparable to adjusted EBITDA.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA along with other measures to gauge the Company's performance and evaluate results, which can be skewed when including interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, net gains (losses) on investments, gain on sale of real estate, and stock-based compensation, and may vary significantly between periods. Adjusted EBITDA is provided as supplemental information, not as a substitute for net income and does not reflect the Company's overall profitability.

Operating net income (loss) and basic operating net income (loss) per share is a non-GAAP measure, which is net income (loss) and basic income (loss) per share exclusive of net gains (losses) on investments and gain on sale of real estate, net of tax. Net income (loss) and basic net income (loss) per share are the GAAP measures most closely comparable to operating net income (loss) and basic operating net income (loss) per share.

Management uses operating net income (loss) and basic operating net income (loss) per share along with other measures to gauge the Company's performance and evaluate results, which can be skewed when including net gains (losses) on investments and gain on sale of real estate and may vary significantly between periods. Operating net income (loss) and basic operating net income (loss) per share are provided as supplemental information, not as a substitute for net income (loss) and basic net income (loss) per share and do not reflect the Company's overall profitability.

Operating net income (loss) and diluted operating net income (loss) per share is a non-GAAP measure, which is net income (loss) and diluted income (loss) per share exclusive of net gains (losses) on investments and gain on sale of real estate, net of tax. Net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share are the GAAP measures most closely comparable to operating net income (loss) and diluted operating net income (loss) per share.

Management uses operating net income (loss) and diluted operating net income (loss) per share along with other measures to gauge the Company's performance and evaluate results, which can be skewed when including net gains (losses) on investments and gain on sale of real estate and may vary significantly between periods. Operating net income (loss) and diluted operating net income (loss) per share are provided as supplemental information, not as a substitute for net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share, and do not reflect the Company's overall profitability.

Operating return on equity is a non-GAAP measure, which is operating income (loss) divided by average equity. Return on equity is the GAAP measure most closely comparable to operating return on equity.

Management uses operating return on equity, along with other measures, to gauge the Company's performance and evaluate results, which can be skewed when including net gains (losses) on investments and gain on sale of real estate, which may vary significantly between periods. Operating return on equity is provided as supplemental information, is not a substitute for return on equity and does not reflect the Company's overall return on average common equity.

Underlying loss ratio is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the GAAP net loss ratio excluding the effect of prior year loss reserve development and catastrophe losses.

Management believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to reveal the trends in the Company's business that may be obscured by prior year loss reserve development and catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses cause the Company's loss ratios to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on the net loss ratio. Management believes that this measure is useful for investors to evaluate this component separately when reviewing the Company's underwriting performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the net loss ratio. The underlying loss ratio should not be considered a substitute for the net loss ratio and does not reflect the Company's net loss ratio.

Net loss ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between GAAP net loss ratio and the effect of catastrophes on the net loss ratio.

Management believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to reveal the trends in the Company's business that may be obscured by catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses cause the Company's net loss ratios to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on the net loss ratio. Management believes that this measure is useful for investors to evaluate this component separately when reviewing the Company's underwriting performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the net loss ratio. The net loss ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes should not be considered a substitute for the net loss ratio and does not reflect the Company's net loss ratio.

Underlying combined ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which is computed as the sum of the underlying loss ratio and the net underwriting expense ratio.

Management believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to reveal the trends in the Company's business that may be obscured by prior year loss reserve development and catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses cause the Company's loss ratios to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on the net combined ratio. Management believes that this measure is useful for investors to evaluate this component separately when reviewing the Company's underwriting performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the net combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered a substitute for the net combined ratio and does not reflect the Company's net combined ratio.
