Hurricane Sally made landfall near Gulf Shores, Alabama, on
September 16, 2020 as a Category 2 hurricane impacting both Alabama
and the Florida Panhandle. FedNat Holding Company (the “Company”)
has three insurance subsidiaries that write homeowners insurance in
these states: FedNat Insurance Company (“FNIC”), Maison Insurance
Company (“MIC”) and Monarch National Insurance Company (“MNIC”).
The Company has deployed the appropriate resources to the affected
areas to best serve our policyholders in their time of
need.
The Company has in place a combined reinsurance program for all its
carriers, with the most recent renewal beginning on July 1, 2020.
The Company currently estimates that its initial aggregate gross
losses as a result of Hurricane Sally, which will be paid out in
the coming months, will exceed its single-event aggregate
reinsurance retention of $25 million. It is also anticipated that
the total net impact to the Company will be reduced based on the
amount of Hurricane Sally losses that are incurred in the state of
Alabama, where the Company has additional underlying catastrophe
reinsurance protection. The Company also has a 50% quota-share
reinsurance treaty in place on its book written by SageSure
Insurance Managers LLC, our independent MGU partner, which may
serve to further reduce Hurricane Sally’s net impact to the
Company.
The Company’s reinsurance program remains intact for a potential
third hurricane this season with a $25 million retention along with
additional underlying layers that lower the retention for any
additional events to as low as $10 million for a Florida
landfall.
The Company expects to report on its total estimated catastrophe
losses from all third quarter events following quarter end. Please
see the Company’s filings on Form 8-K dated June 1, 2020 and
September 9, 2020 and the Company’s Form 10-Q dated June 30, 2020
for further information regarding the reinsurance program and how
it protects each of its three insurance companies from catastrophic
losses both inside and outside the state of Florida.
