The company expects to report fourth-quarter earnings between 98 cents and $1.03 per share, a substantial increase from the 40 cents per share recorded during the same period last year. Management anticipates the quarter will be its most profitable to date, bolstered by a 14% rise in direct written premiums and what it described as "exceptional" underwriting margins.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, Kingstone projects earnings in the range of $2.80 to $2.88 per share, nearly doubling the $1.48 earned in the previous year. This growth trajectory is supported by a combination of favorable market conditions and internal operational shifts that have stabilized the company's bottom line.
Strategic Shift and Risk Mitigation
Kingstone attributed its improved performance to a significant reduction in catastrophe losses and better property frequency. These gains were largely driven by the expansion of its Select product, which now accounts for 57% of policies in force, compared to 45% just one year ago. The company stated that this specific product line allows for more precise risk selection, which has been a primary driver of its underwriting success throughout the year.
