HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE: HCI), a
holding company with operations in homeowners insurance,
information technology services, real estate, and reinsurance,
announced today that its insurance subsidiaries have successfully
assumed over 42,000 policies from Citizens Property Insurance
Corporation, Florida’s state-backed insurance company. The policies
assumed represent approximately $200 million of in-force premium.
“We successfully navigated a highly competitive Citizens’
depopulation process and exceeded our fourth quarter new business
goal through the October assumption alone,” said Paresh Patel,
HCI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our technology, which
enables us to select policies that best fit our underwriting and
profitability criteria, combined with our strong rate of
policyholder adoption, allows us to forgo additional assumptions
for the balance of the year.”
Homeowners Choice was approved for 25,000 policies and assumed
approximately 22,000 policies – an 88% acceptance rate. TypTap
Insurance Company was approved for 25,000 policies and assumed
approximately 20,000 policies – an 80% acceptance rate. The
