Oxbridge Re Highlights Growth in Tokenized Reinsurance, Strategic Partnerships, and Reports Q1 2025 Results
GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OXBR), (the "Company"), which together with its subsidiary SurancePlus is engaged in the business of tokenized Real-World Assets ("RWAs"), initially in the form of tokenized reinsurance securities, and reinsurance business solutions to property and casualty casualty - bridging the gap between the SEC, blockchain, and tokenization. The company today, reported its results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
"As the first Nasdaq-listed company to issue a tokenized security in reinsurance, Oxbridge Re, through SurancePlus, is transforming access to this asset class," said Jay Madhu, Chairman and CEO of Oxbridge Re. "We are proud of our progress and remain focused on expanding SurancePlus, democratizing access to reinsurance with a commitment to transparency and compliance."
The Company recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Plume, a blockchain platform managing over $4.5 billion in assets and serving 18 million unique addresses. This partnership represents a significant opportunity to enhance distribution, while Oxbridge Re continues to explore additional partnerships to further broaden its reach.
SurancePlus is also highlighting its previously launched 2025–2026 tokenized reinsurance offerings, which provide a diverse range of investment opportunities. These offerings include a balanced-yield product targeting a 20% annual return, designed for investors seeking stable, attractive yields with moderate risk, and a high-yield option targeting a 42% annual return. These options broaden the investor base, offering both risk-averse and high-return-seeking investors a compliant, blockchain-powered pathway to participate in the reinsurance sector.
The company actively participated in major global tokenization and blockchain events, including Consensus 2024 in Austin, Texas, Token2049 in Singapore, and Token2049 in Dubai. These forums provided an opportunity to showcase SurancePlus, strengthen industry relationships, and explore collaborative opportunities with leading blockchain platforms.
"Supported by a strong balance sheet and a disciplined approach, we are well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the RWA sector," added Madhu. "Looking ahead, we remain committed to scaling SurancePlus with integrity, innovation, and a focus on long-term value creation."
Financial Performance
Net premiums earned for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 increased to $595,000 from $549,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase is due to the rates on contracts that were in force in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the contracts in force in the prior period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated net loss of $139,000 or ($0.02) per basic and diluted loss per share compared to net loss of $905,000 or ($0.15) per basic and diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to the positive change in the fair value of equity securities and sale of investments in Jet.AI during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 when compared with the prior period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total expenses, including policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, increased to $570,000 from $548,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the value stock-based compensation incurred during the three-month period ending March 31, 2025 as a result of higher share price on grant date.
As of March 31, 2025, our restricted cash, and cash equivalents increased by $3.7 million, or 62.85%, to $9.6 million, from $5.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to premium deposits made during the three months ending March 31, 2025 as well the completion of a registered direct offering that generated $2.7 million net of expenses.
Financial Ratios
Loss Ratio. The loss ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to premiums earned and measures the underwriting profitability of our reinsurance business. The loss ratio remained consistent at 0% for the quarter end March 31, 2025 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Acquisition Cost Ratio. The acquisition cost ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses to net premiums earned. The acquisition cost ratio measures our operational efficiency in producing, underwriting and administering our reinsurance business.
The acquisition cost ratio remained consistent at 10.9% for the quarter end March 31, 2025 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Expense Ratio. The expense ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses to net premiums earned. We use the expense ratio to measure our operating performance. The expense ratio decreased marginally from 99.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 to 95.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is due to higher net premiums earned during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, when compared with the prior period.
Combined ratio. We use the combined ratio to measure our underwriting performance. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. The combined ratio decreased marginally from 99.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 to 95.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is due to higher net premiums earned during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, when compared with the prior period.
