Segment Performance

The primary lines, including surety, warranty, and corporate insurance lines, remain the foundation of the business, growing net insurance revenue 16% this quarter. Surety delivered another exceptional quarter with net insurance revenue up 25% year-over-year, although premiums declined relative to Q3 2024 due to timing nuances of premium onboarding in the U.S. The warranty business has seen significant growth, with a combined ratio of 90%, and the team expects growth to slow down from high 30s levels to mid-teens levels in the near term.

Growth Prospects and Investments

The company sees opportunities in the primary lines, particularly in the U.S., and expects growth in both specialty and programs. The U.S. business has contributed just over 40% of the premiums for the surety platform across North America, with the Canadian business still being larger. On a percentage basis, the U.S. business is growing faster. The company expects a return to growth in the surety platform in Q4 with mid-teens level of growth and a 20% or low 20s percent loss ratio.

Valuation and Outlook

With a Price-to-Book Ratio (P/B) of 2.31, the market is pricing in a certain level of growth and profitability. Given the company's strong performance and growth prospects, the valuation appears reasonable. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 8.7%, which suggests that the company is well-positioned for continued success. The company's book value per share has risen to $18.90, up more than 20% year-over-year, and is on track to achieve its book value target of $1 billion by the end of 2027.
