IGI Group President CEO Waleed Jabsheh said, "We produced another set of excellent financial results in 2025. This demonstrates the strong execution and cycle management culture we have at IGI, the benefits of our diversification strategy, and the value that we continue to deliver to our shareholders. Our combined ratio of 85.9% and net income of $127.2 million resulted in a return on average equity of 18.6% and a core operating return on average equity of 16.8% for the current year, well above our 10-year average. In addition, we grew our book value per share during the year to $16.91 at December 31, 2025, while returning over $108 million to shareholders in share repurchases and dividends."
"We have built a level of resilience across our Company with the right strategy, exceptional talent and strong execution and capital management capabilities, all of which we believe will continue to hold us in good stead for the years ahead."
Results for the Quarters and Years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
The Company generated net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 of $32.3 million, an increase of 7.7% over the $30.0 million of net income reported for the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income for the full year was $127.2 million for 2025 and $135.2 million for 2024, reflecting continued positive underwriting results and investment income.
Return on average equity (annualized) was 18.5% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 18.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024, and 18.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 22.6% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Core operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $34.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $40.9 million for the same period in 2024. Core operating income was $114.9 million for the full year 2025, compared to $144.8 million for the full year 2024. Core operating income for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 included a lower level of underwriting income compared to 2024, largely due to a lower level of net premiums earned.
Gross written premiums were $141.2 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $174.6 million for the same period in 2024. For the full year 2025, gross written premiums were $666.7 million, compared to gross written premiums of $700.1 million for the full year 2024. Gross written premiums in both the fourth quarter and full year 2025 were impacted by the non-renewal of a professional indemnity binder in the Specialty Long-tail Segment, which the Company announced earlier in 2025.
Underwriting income for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 was $46.9 million and $161.1 million, respectively, compared to $48.8 million and $187.5 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively, demonstrating the Company's strong underwriting performance despite a higher level of catastrophe ("CAT") losses and a lower level of net premiums earned.
The loss ratio improved to 42.1%, including CAT losses of 11.7%, for the fourth quarter of 2025 from 43.0% which included CAT losses of 6.0% for the fourth quarter of 2024. For the full year 2025, the loss ratio was 47.6%, including CAT losses of 13.0%, compared to 44.7% which included CAT losses of 9.2% for the full year 2024. The increase in the full year 2025 loss ratio primarily resulted from the lower level of net premiums earned.
The expense ratio (which includes net policy acquisition expenses, and general and administrative expenses) was 39.9% and 38.3% for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, respectively, compared to 34.8% and 35.2%, respectively, for the same periods in 2024. The increase in expense ratios were largely driven by higher human resource and IT/software costs, coupled with the impact of lower net premiums earned in 2025 relative to corresponding periods in 2024.
The combined ratio was 82.0% and 85.9% for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, respectively, compared to 77.8% and 79.9%, respectively, for the same periods in 2024.
Segment Results
The Specialty Long-tail Segment, which represented 25% of the Company's gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2025, recorded gross written premiums of $37.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $63.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting the impact of the non-renewal of a professional indemnity binder. Net premiums earned for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were $28.6 million compared to $35.8 million for the same quarter of 2024. This segment recorded underwriting income of $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $14.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, largely due to the lower level of net premiums earned in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Gross written premiums were $167.1 million for the full year 2025, compared to $204.4 million for the full year 2024, for the same reason described above for the quarter. Net premiums earned for the full year 2025 were $122.3 million compared to $146.3 million for the same period of 2024. This segment recorded underwriting income of $10.9 million for the full year 2025, compared to $39.5 million for the full year 2024, largely due to a higher level of net loss and loss adjustment expenses and a lower level of net premiums earned for the full year 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
The Specialty Short-tail Segment, which represented 60%of the Company's gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2025, generated gross written premiums of $101.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $106.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Net premiums earned were $61.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $62.4 million for the same quarter of 2024. Underwriting income was $24.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $21.0 million for the same quarter of 2024, with the increase largely driven by a lower level of net loss and loss adjustment expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Gross written premiums were $399.4 million for the full year 2025 compared to $412.3 million for the full year 2024. Net premiums earned for the full year 2025 were $239.2 million compared to $256.0 million for the full year 2024. Underwriting income was $104.2 million for the full year 2025 compared to $112.2 million for the full year 2024, with the decrease largely driven by a lower level of net premiums earned, partially offset by a lower level of net loss and loss adjustment expenses for the full year 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
The Reinsurance Segment,which represented 15%of the Company's gross written premiums for the year ended December 31, 2025, recorded gross written premiums of $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Net premiums earned for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were $21.5 million, compared to $22.4 million for the same quarter in 2024. Underwriting income was $12.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $13.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross written premiums were $100.2 million for the full year 2025, reflecting an increase of 20.1% compared to $83.4 million for the full year 2024. Net premiums earned for the full year 2025 were $92.3 million, an increase of $11.5 million or 14.2%, compared to $80.8 million for the same period in 2024. Underwriting income increased by 28.5% to $46.0 million for the full year 2025, compared to $35.8 million for the full year 2024, primarily resulting from the higher level of net premiums earned on a larger reinsurance portfolio.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting IGI's financial results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help to explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Core Operating Income
Core operating income measures the performance of our operations without the influence of after-tax gains or losses on investments and foreign currencies and other items as noted in the table below. We exclude these items from our calculation of core operating income because the amounts of these gains and losses are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, economic and other factors external to the Company and/or transactions or events that are typically not a recurring part of, and are largely independent of, our core underwriting activities and including them distorts the analysis of trends in our operations. We believe the reporting of core operating income enhances an understanding of our results by highlighting the underlying profitability of our core insurance operations. Our underwriting profitability is impacted by earned premiums, the adequacy of pricing, and the frequency and severity of losses. Over time, such profitability is also influenced by underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage the Company's exposure to loss through intelligent risk selection and diversification, IGI's management of claims, use of reinsurance and the ability to manage the expense ratio, which the Company accomplishes through the management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses.
In addition to presenting net income for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that showing "core operating income" provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to analyze the Company's results in a similar manner to the way in which Management analyzes the Company's underlying business performance.
International General Insurance Holdings Ltd.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Core operating income is calculated by the addition or subtraction of certain line items reported in the "Consolidated Statements of Income" from net income for the period and tax effecting each line item (resulting in each item being a non-GAAP financial measure), as illustrated in the table below:
