The Company primarily derives revenue through insurance solutions services provided to various customers. The Company provides services to certain of its affiliates under separate MGA, policy administration agreements, and technology agreements. Refer to Note 6. Related Party Transactions for additional information.
Underwriting and Management Services
The Company provides policy issuance and renewal services that result in executed insurance policies. In addition, the Company provides management services, including soliciting and negotiating reinsurance for authorized programs and managing and maintaining a policy administration system. The Company also provides administrative services, including maintaining policy records, and printing policy-related documents.
The Company has identified three performance obligations within its underwriting and management services: 1) policy issuance and renewal, 2) management services, and 3) sub-broker services.
The transaction price allocated to the policy issuance and renewal performance obligation is determined based on the estimated standalone selling price of the service. This price is calculated as a proportion of direct written premiums, assumed written premiums, or both, plus related policy fees, and varies based on the specific terms of each agreement. The estimated standalone selling price was determined using the expected cost plus a margin approach. The transaction price is comprised of variable consideration because the Company is obligated to return a portion of the consideration if an underlying policy is canceled subsequent to issuance or renewal. Accordingly, the Company applies an estimate of constraint against the transaction price related to possible underlying policy cancellations in the future using the expected value method. Revenue related to the policy issuance and renewal performance obligation is recognized at the point in time when a policy is issued or renewed, as this marks the point at which the customers receive the economic benefits of the policy issuance or renewal, with the related services being substantially complete.
The transaction price allocated to the management services performance obligation is determined based on the estimated standalone selling price of the services. This price is calculated as a proportion of direct written premiums, assumed written premiums, or both, and varies based on the specific terms of each agreement. The estimated standalone selling price was determined using the expected cost plus a margin approach. Revenue for management services is deferred and recognized ratably over time as the services are provided.
Revenue from sub-broker services is recognized at a point in time when the Company fulfills its performance obligation by completing the services for the customer and is included within underwriting and management services. Due to the nature of the services, there are no significant financing components or variable consideration. The Company recognized revenue from sub-broker services of $1,750 and $500, reflecting the fixed fee for services rendered during the year for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a receivable balance of $875 related to this service recorded within Accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. No such receivable was outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
Claim Services
The Company provides services for all reported and assigned claims on behalf of its customers, for which the Company will investigate, evaluate, handle, adjust, and settle each claim. While a variety of activities are performed, the overall nature of the obligation is to provide services for all reported and assigned claims, including catastrophe claims. The Company also provides "Catastrophe Services" in the form of claim services to handle and adjust the increased and extraordinary volume of claims attributable to a catastrophe.
The Company has identified two performance obligations within claim services: 1) claim services and 2) catastrophe services.
The transaction price allocated to the claim services performance obligation is determined based on the estimated standalone selling price of the services. This price is calculated as a proportion of direct and assumed written premiums and varies based on the specific terms of each agreement. The estimated standalone selling price is determined using the estimated cost plus a margin approach. Revenue related to claim services is recognized ratably over the policy term, typically over a twelve month period. This method reflects the continuous transfer of services to the customer and aligns revenue recognition with the ongoing delivery of claims handling services.
The transaction price allocated to the catastrophe services performance obligation is determined based on the estimated standalone selling price, which includes per-claim fees and a percentage of indemnification costs and varies by agreement. The transaction price involves variable consideration because the Company must estimate both the ultimate number of claims and the total indemnification expected to be paid. Accordingly, the Company applies an estimate of constraint against the transaction price related to possible overestimation of the transaction price using the expected value method. Revenue for this performance obligation is recognized over time using an output method that measures progress by comparing total claims paid to date against the total expected claims to be paid.
Other Technology Services
The Company's other technology services revenue is derived primarily from fees for providing various proprietary software, which includes functionality for policy administration, billing, reporting and compliance, and claims handling, to the customer through software service agreements.
The Company has identified two performance obligations related to software services: 1) policy administration software services and 2) catastrophe claims software services.
The transaction price of the policy administration software services performance obligation is based on the volume of policies or claims processed by the customer using the Company's software at the end of each quarter or a fixed fee. The overall nature of the obligation is to provide the customer access to the software through ongoing administration and software services. Each of these arrangements represents a stand-ready obligation to perform these activities on an as-needed basis. As the Company has a right to invoice the customer at an amount that corresponds directly with the value delivered, the Company applies the as-invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue.
The transaction price of the catastrophe claims software service performance obligation is calculated as a percentage of the amount incurred for each catastrophe claim handled. The nature of the performance obligation is that the Company will provide the service of allowing the customer access to its software systems. This catastrophe claims software services revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, generally ratably over the period of to five years.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregate transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $74,460 and $55,576, respectively, of which $70,893 and $47,210, respectively, are expected to be recognized within the following 12 months, and $3,567 and $8,366, respectively, are expected to be recognized beyond the next 12 months.
Contract Balances
The Company receives payments from customers based on billing terms established in contractual agreements. Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing. Receivables related to these services are classified within Receivable from related parties and Accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These receivables are typically collected within 15 to 30 days after month-end or invoice date, and substantially all cash collections are completed within one year, consistent with the annual term of insurance policies. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company reported $13,326 and $2,025, respectively, in Accounts receivable and Receivable from related parties related to these contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The portion of revenue not yet earned is recorded as a Contract liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company has received consideration or has an unconditional right to payment but has not yet transferred the related services. This represents the portion of revenue that will be recognized over the term of the respective agreements. The over time performance obligations fall in this category given the Company recognizes revenue over the non-cancellable term of the underlying contracts.

The changes in the contract liability balance during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were a result of normal business activity and were not materially impacted by any unusual or nonrecurring items. Contract liabilities are reflected in Current liabilities for those to be recognized in less than 12 months and in Non-current liabilities for those to be recognized more than 12 months from the date presented in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract cost assets primarily consist of incremental costs to fulfill customer contracts that are expected to be recovered. Changes in the contract cost asset balance occur in the ordinary course of business. Contract cost assets are reflected in Current assets when expected to be recognized in less than 12 months and in Non-current assets when expected to be recognized in more than 12 months from the date presented in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
