I'm Dan Peed, Chairman and CEO of American Coastal Insurance Corporation. I'm planning to overview the activities of the second quarter and the year-to-date numbers, including touching on the operating results of our continuing operations and specifically our commercial line segment. I'll turn it over to Brad Martz, who will expand on the financial results for continuing operations. We've nearly completed this, our transition to a commercial specialty insurance business underwritten through American Coastal Insurance Company. The commercial line segment now comprises over 97% of the second quarter gross written premium and 92% of the gross earned premium. In light of this transition to a predominantly commercial specialty business, we announced July 27th that we have changed the holding company name from United Insurance Holdings Corp. to American Coastal Insurance Corporation. Effective August 15th, we will begin trading with the new ticker, ACIC. We believe this better reflects the future direction of our company as American Coastal Insurance Company has a 15-year track record of consistent product and financial performance in Florida. Back to the numbers. Given the extreme variances introduced by the accounting for discontinued operations, I consider the most applicable numbers to be quarterly and year-to-date results from continuing operations in the commercial line segment. As such, I'm going to highlight the results from the commercial line segment, and then Brad's going to focus mostly on continuing operations, which includes our continuing personal lines operations through Interboro. For the commercial line segment, the pre-tax income was $25.4 million in the second quarter and $64.3 million year-to-date. The net loss ratio was 22.0% in the second quarter and 19.7% year-to-date, in line with expectations. The net expense ratio was 37.4% in the second quarter and 36.5% year-to-date, both down about 8 points from 45% last year. The net combined ratio in the commercial line segment was 59.4% in the second quarter and 56.2% year-to-date, down from 61.5% and 68.0% year-over-year, respectively. Still addressing the commercial line segment. prior year development continued to be favorable at 7.2% in the second quarter and 5.3% year-to-date. The cat loss ratio was 8.4% in the second quarter and 5.4% year to date, which is in line with expectations despite the very active cat season this spring. The underlying combined ratio was 58.2% in the second quarter and 56.1% year to date, down from 70.2% and 71.3% year-over-year, demonstrating the improvement in the underlying profitability produced by the commercial lines portfolio. To highlight a few underwriting metrics on the commercial lines portfolio, the total insured value exposure is down 12.8%, while the probable maximum loss at the 100-year return period is down 21% as modeled using AIR, both on a year-over-year basis. In contrast, the gross written premium was up 31% in the second quarter and 33.8% year to date. Valuation is up an average of 8%, submissions were up 8.2%, and the hit ratio for quoted renewal business decreased from 85% to 81%. Looking forward, we continue to believe the legislative changes made in Florida will prove to be an effective mitigation of some of the excessive litigation issues over the last 6 years. The pre-suit notification of intent to litigate, the reduced time to report, the elimination of one-way attorney fees and assignment of benefits, as well as other changes, will work their way through the system to reduce loss costs and subsequently insurance rates. However, it will take some time for these changes to work their way through the system, but in the near term, it does appear to have mitigated some of the reinsurers' negative sentiment surrounding the Florida exposure. In conclusion, the Florida residential cat market remains hard. It will take some time for reinsurers and investors to get comfortable with the exposures and challenges that Florida offers. While the hard market creates challenges, it also creates an excellent opportunity for American Coastal, having the number 1 market share for admitted commercial residential exposure in Florida. I expect the market to remain hard for at least the near and intermediate terms. With that, I'll turn it over to Brad Martz. Thank you, Dan. Hello, this is Brad Martz, the President and CFO of American Coastal Insurance Corporation. I'm pleased to review our financial results, but encourage everyone to review the company's press release, investor presentation and Forms 10-Q and 10-K for more information regarding our performance. Pages 3 and 4 of our investor presentation provide a summary of the quarter ending June 30th, 2023, which included core income of $28.4 million or $0.65 a share, versus $8.5 million or $0.20 a share last year, which grew 236% year-over-year, recast for discontinued operations. Net income from continuing operations of $22.6 million or $0.52 a share, compared favorably to $5.8 million or $0.14 a share in the same period last year, driven by strong underwriting performance in our commercial lines segment, which was partially reduced by investment losses of $5.2 million or about $0.12 a share, net of tax in the current period. Our combined ratio for the second quarter improved over nine points to 67.7% versus last year, fueled by a $36 million or 17% increase in premiums written year-over-year, despite our intentional reduction in policies and risk exposure and the reduced premiums written in the personal line segment. The successful placement of our new catastrophe reinsurance programs for American Coastal and Interboro were the most significant accomplishments during the second quarter, with more overall protection against severity and the lowest retention we've had against a Florida hurricane over the last decade, at just $10 million. Page 5 of our investor presentation provides a breakdown of our results for the quarter and year against the recast 2022 amounts, which highlight gross premiums earned growing 22.2% year-over-year in the second quarter, helping to overcome increased catastrophe losses and decrease revenue from more premiums ceded, as well as non-recurring investment losses. Despite these items, year-to-date net income from continuing operations grew to $54.3 million, an increase of $48.7 million or 870% year-over-year. Page 6 of our investor presentation breaks down our results by segment, with $25.4 million of pre-tax profit from commercial lines and a $1.3 million loss from personal lines. Reduced by a $3 million loss, primarily related to interest expense at the holding company. During the current quarter, we determined that certain non-recurring revenue and expenses of the personal lines segment, derived from our former affiliate, United P&C, should also be included now as part of discontinued operations. Accordingly, page 7 of our investor presentation summarizes the impact of this change to help reconcile our year-to-date results. The net impact was immaterial, with roughly $1.1 million moving from discontinued operations to continuing operations, with no impact to net income or book value reported last quarter. Page 8 of our investor presentation provides balance sheet highlights as of June 30th, including stockholders' equity, increasing to $106.5 million, or $2.45 a share, an increase of about 27% from the prior quarter. Unrealized losses on our bond portfolio declined to $21.1 million, or approximately $0.49 a share, indicating an underlying book value per share of $2.94. Cash and invested assets totaled nearly $242 million, with total assets of over $1.44 billion. Reinsurance plays a critical role in our capital management strategy, and the increase in our quota share reinsurance on June 1, 2023, from 10% to 40%, will reduce the company's net premium risk, which in turn will help improve our risk-based capital ratio this year. Also has the impact of ceding away a higher portion of our expected underwriting profit in the short term. However, our improving statutory capital position will allow us to write and retain more profitable commercial lines business over the long term. Pages 9 and 10 of our investor presentation show the final 2023, 2024 catastrophe reinsurance programs for American Coastal and Interboro. The structure graph for American Coastal on page 9 shows the enduring effect of the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund and 4 layers to the tower, which is not drawn perfectly to scale here, and how the 2 20% quota share programs interact with the remaining private open market limit. Of the $371 million private market occurrence limit, about $236 million or 64% is reinstatable, with 95% of that cost prepaid. When combined all together, it represents roughly $1.1 billion of occurrence-based limit and $1.3 billion of aggregate limit. The company also utilized its captive reinsurer to take a small participation, 9% on layer one of the American Coastal Program, but it did not participate on Interboro's program. Thus, the captive could have the effect of increasing our consolidated group retention, from $10 million to $12.3 million if a Florida event fully exhausts the first layer of American Coastal's program. That completes our prepared remarks, and we are now happy to take any questions. Thank you. We'll now be conducting a question and answer session. If you'd like to be placed in the question queue, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you'd like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing star one. Once again, that's star one to be placed in the question queue. If there are no questions at this time, I'll turn the floor back over to management for any further closing comments. Okay, thanks. This is Dan. I would like to thank our employees and associates for their diligent efforts as we transition this company to a commercial specialty underwriter. Then for our investors, thanks for your time on this call and your interest in our company. Thanks again. Thank you. That does conclude today's teleconference webcast. You may disconnect your line at this time and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.
