Oxbridge Re Reports Update on its RWA Tokenized Security, its Business and Third Quarter 2024 Results

"We are energized by the progress of our Web3/RWA subsidiary, SurancePlus, which issues tokenized securities backed by reinsurance contracts as the underlying asset and currently launched on the Avalanche blockchain. SurancePlus seamlessly integrates SEC regulatory standards with blockchain technology, ensuring full transparency and compliance,” said Jay Madhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "By opening access to an asset class historically limited to a select few due to high financial barriers to entry, SurancePlus is breaking new ground. Leveraging RegD and RegS frameworks, investors can now enter this unique asset class within minutes, efficiently completing AML, KYC, and document signing requirements.” 

Mr. Madhu continued, "Going forward, we intend to issue two tranches of tokenized securities, one high yield token targeting a 42% return, and one balance yield token targeting a 22% return. Additionally, our strategic partnership with Zoniqx, which has facilitated over $4 billion of assets on-chain, positions SurancePlus for continued growth as we enter our second year of issuing tokenized securities. With a solid business model and no debt, we are confident that SurancePlus will drive meaningful growth for our shareholders and further expand our influence in the RWA space in the coming years.”

Financial Performance

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated a net loss of $540,000 or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share compared to net loss of $7.3 million or ($1.24) per basic and diluted common share in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in unrealized losses on other investments during the quarter when compared with the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated a net loss of $2.27 million or ($0.37) per basic and diluted common share compared to a net loss of $7.2 million, or $1.23 basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The improved results were primarily due to higher revenues driven by the decrease in unrealized losses on other investments.

Net premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $595,000 compared to $549,000 in the same prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 net premiums earned were $1.71 million compared to $732,000 in the prior year. The increase was due to reinsurance contracts in force during the full periods ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year.

There were no losses incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

Total expenses were $498,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $688,000 for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 total expenses were $1.67 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. The decrease is due to the decrease in offering costs associated with SurancePlus being recognized when compared with the same period last year.

At September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents were $4.8 million compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2023.

Financial Ratios

Loss Ratio.

The loss ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to premiums earned and measures the underwriting profitability of our reinsurance business. The loss ratio remained consistent at 0% for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared with the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Acquisition Cost Ratio. The acquisition cost ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses to net premiums earned. The acquisition cost ratio measures our operational efficiency in producing, underwriting and administering our reinsurance business.

The acquisition cost ratio increased marginally to 11.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 11.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, from 10.9% for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to premiums being earned during the full periods ending September 30, 2024, when compared with the prior periods.

Expense Ratio.

The expense ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses to net premiums earned. We use the expense ratio to measure our operating performance. The expense ratio decreased from 125.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, to 83.7% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is due to the higher levels of premium earned and lower general administrative expenses incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, when compared with the prior period.

The expense ratio decreased from 244.3% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, to 98.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is due to the higher levels of premium earned and lower general administrative expenses incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, when compared with the prior period.

Combined ratio.

We use the combined ratio to measure our underwriting performance. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. The combined ratio decreased from 125.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, to 83.7% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is due to the higher levels of premium earned and lower general administrative expenses incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, when compared with the prior period.

The combined ratio decreased from 244.3% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 to 98.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is due to the higher levels of premium earned and lower general administrative expenses incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, when compared with the prior period
