Major Rating Factors:
Poor long-term capitalization index (2.1 on a scale of 0 to 10) based on weak current risk adjusted capital (severe loss scenarios), although results have slipped from the good range over the last two years. A history of deficient reserves (1.3) that places pressure on both capital and profits. In the last five years, reserves (two year development) fluctuated between 21.9% and 66.7% deficient. Weak overall results on stability tests (2.9) including weak results on operational trends and weak risk adjusted capital in prior years. The largest net exposure for one risk is high at 4.1% of capital.
Other Rating Factors:
Fair profitability index (2.9) with operating losses during 2020, 2022, 2024 and the first three months of 2025. Average return on equity over the last five years has been poor at -15.0%. Good liquidity (6.8) with sufficient resources (cash flows and marketable investments) to handle a spike in claims.
