HCI Group Insurance Subsidiary Assumes Over 53,000 Policies From Citizens

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE: HCI), a holding company with operations in homeowners insurance, information technology services, real estate, and reinsurance, announced today that its largest subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, has successfully assumed approximately 53,750 policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, Florida’s state-backed insurance company.

The policies assumed amount to approximately $196 million of in-force premium. The assumption, effective November 21, 2023, is based upon an approval in September 2023 by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

More than 70% of policyholders assumed will see savings over the expected renewal offer from Citizens.

Homeowners Choice was approved for 75,000 policies, made 72,958 offers and assumed 53,750 policies – a 74% acceptance rate.

“Homeowners Choice has successfully completed the transition of a significant number of policies that were previously identified by our technology as attractive policies for assumption. The strong acceptance rate was the result of Homeowners Choice offering policyholders a competitively priced renewal policy and expanded coverage compared with their existing Citizens policy,” said Paresh Patel, HCI’s chairman and chief executive officer.

HCI Group’s other subsidiary, TypTap Insurance Company, is expected to assume policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation in December 2023 and January 2024.
