FARGO, North Dakota, August 8, 2025 – NI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NODK) announced today results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

 

Summary of Second Quarter 2025 Results – Continuing Operations

(All comparisons vs. continuing operations for the second quarter of 2024, unless noted otherwise)

 

·         Direct written premiums of $109.5 million compared to $118.5 million. This reduction was driven by Non-Standard Auto (-56.4%) due to the continued impact of the strategic decision to significantly decrease our Non-Standard Auto premiums, partially offset by Home and Farm (8.1%) driven by higher rate and insured values along with new business growth in North Dakota.

·         Combined ratio of 125.1% versus 113.7%, primarily driven by higher unfavorable development of liability loss claims in Non-Standard Auto, decreased net earned premiums in Non-Standard Auto and a significant catastrophe event in North Dakota that exceeded the Company’s $20M reinsurance retention.

·         Total pre-tax catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, of $20.0 million for the quarter and year-to-date, which adversely impacted the second quarter and year-to-date loss and loss adjustment expense ratios by 30.2 and 15.7 percentage points, respectively.   

·         Net investment income increased 40.8% to $2.7 million, primarily driven by higher reinvestment rates in our fixed income portfolio and higher net realized gains.

·         Basic loss per share of ($0.57) compared to ($0.36).
