Management Commentary

Kevin G. Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Donegal Group Inc., stated, “Our first quarter of 2026 results reflected solid underlying operating performance despite softening conditions in the insurance markets we serve. At a high level, the past few years have been characterized by generally favorable conditions for our industry, and, as is often the case, a softening market has emerged as the availability of capital has led industry participants to reduce rates to win and retain accounts. Against this challenging backdrop, we remain committed to maintaining underwriting and pricing discipline as we pursue new, high-quality accounts and seek to retain existing accounts at adequate pricing levels.

“Net premiums written1 for our commercial lines business segment grew by 2.2% compared to the prior-year quarter, as we began to gain traction in new business production despite competitive market conditions, supported by solid retention and continued renewal premium increases in lines other than workers’ compensation. We experienced a continued decline in our personal lines net premiums written, which we believe will gradually taper over the course of 2026 as actions we have taken to slow the decline take effect.

“While our underwriting results for the first quarter of 2026 lagged the unusually favorable results we achieved for the prior-year quarter, we primarily attribute the lower profitability to higher-than-average weather-related losses and the impact of several large current-year and prior-year losses. We are pleased that our core loss ratios for both the commercial and personal lines segments improved modestly compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting solid underlying performance within our book of business.

“We believe we are well positioned to build value for all of our constituents as we navigate the current market cycle. Coupling excellent service to our independent agents and policyholders with prudent underwriting and advancing operational capabilities, we expect to build upon the strong foundation we have established over the past several years. We believe that the effective ongoing execution of our strategies will enhance stockholder value over time.”

Net Premiums Written

The 3.2% decrease in net premiums written for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, as shown in the table above, represents the net combination of a 2.2% increase in commercial lines net premiums written and a 13.1% decrease in personal lines net premiums written. The $7.8 million decrease in net premiums written for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 included:

Commercial Lines: $3.5 million increase that we attribute primarily to new business writings, solid retention and a continuation of renewal premium increases in lines other than workers’ compensation.

Personal Lines: $11.3 million decrease that we attribute primarily to lower new business writings, offset partially by modest renewal premium rate increases and solid retention.

Underwriting Performance

We evaluate the performance of our commercial lines and personal lines segments primarily based upon the underwriting results of our insurance subsidiaries as determined under statutory accounting practices. The following table presents comparative details with respect to the GAAP and statutory combined ratios1 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Loss Ratio

For the first quarter of 2026, the loss ratio increased to 64.1%, compared to 56.7% for the first quarter of 2025. The core loss ratio, which excludes weather-related losses, large fire losses and net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years, was 53.4% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 54.2% for the first quarter of 2025. For the commercial lines segment, the core loss ratio of 57.6% for the first quarter of 2026 decreased modestly from 58.3% for the first quarter of 2025, primarily as the result of ongoing premium rate increases in all lines except workers’ compensation. For the personal lines segment, the core loss ratio of 46.5% for the first quarter of 2026 decreased from 48.7% for the first quarter of 2025, due largely to the favorable impact of premium rate increases on net premiums earned for that segment.

Weather-related losses were $17.2 million, or 7.8 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $8.6 million, or 3.7 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the first quarter of 2025. The weather-related loss ratio for the first quarter of 2026 was well above our previous five-year first-quarter average of 4.5 percentage points of the loss ratio.

Large fire losses, which we define as individual fire losses in excess of $50,000, for the first quarter of 2026 were $12.2 million, or 5.5 percentage points of the loss ratio. That amount was substantially higher than the large fire losses of $7.7 million, or 3.3 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the first quarter of 2025. We primarily attribute the increase to higher loss frequency and severity compared to the prior-year quarter. We experienced a $2.3 million increase in commercial property fire losses and a $2.2 million increase in homeowner fire losses.

Net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years of $5.7 million decreased the loss ratio for the first quarter of 2026 by 2.6 percentage points, compared to $10.5 million that decreased the loss ratio for the first quarter of 2025 by 4.5 percentage points. Our insurance subsidiaries experienced favorable development primarily in the commercial automobile and personal automobile lines of business, offset partially by unfavorable development in commercial multi-peril and commercial other liability for the first quarter of 2026.

Expense Ratio

The expense ratio was 35.4% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 34.6% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the expense ratio primarily reflected the impact of lower net premiums earned upon which the ratio is based. The impact from costs that Donegal Mutual Insurance Company allocated to our insurance subsidiaries related to its systems modernization project represented approximately 1.6 percentage points of the expense ratio for the first quarter of 2026. We expect that the expense ratio impact of allocated costs related to the project will be 1.4 percentage points for the full year of 2026, subsiding gradually over the next several years.

Investment Operations

Donegal Group’s investment strategy is to generate an appropriate amount of after-tax income on its invested assets while minimizing credit risk through investment in high-quality securities. As a result, we had invested 95.3% of our consolidated investment portfolio in diversified, highly rated and marketable fixed-maturity securities at March 31, 2026.

Average fixed-maturity duration (years) 5.7 5.5

Net investment income of $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 increased 19.2% compared to $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net investment income reflected an increase in average investment yield and higher average invested assets relative to the prior-year first quarter.

Net investment losses were minimal for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025. We attribute the losses to a decrease in the market value of the equity securities we held at the end of the respective periods.

Our book value per share was $17.54 at March 31, 2026, compared to $17.33 at December 31, 2025, with the increase partially related to net income, offset partially by $4.1 million of after-tax unrealized losses within our available-for-sale fixed-maturity portfolio during 2026 that decreased our book value by $0.12 per share. Consistent with our historical practice, we did not declare any cash dividends in the first quarter of 2026 or 2025.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our consolidated financial statements on the basis of GAAP. Our insurance subsidiaries also prepare financial statements based on statutory accounting principles state insurance regulators prescribe or permit (“SAP”). In addition to using GAAP-based performance measurements, we also utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide value in managing our business and for comparison to the financial results of our peers. These non-GAAP measures are net premiums written, operating income or loss and statutory combined ratio.

Net premiums written and operating income or loss are non-GAAP financial measures investors in insurance companies commonly use. We define net premiums written as the amount of full-term premiums our insurance subsidiaries record for policies effective within a given period less premiums our insurance subsidiaries cede to reinsurers. We define operating income or loss as net income or loss excluding after-tax net investment gains or losses, after-tax restructuring charges and other significant non-recurring items. Because our calculation of operating income or loss may differ from similar measures other companies use, investors should exercise caution when comparing our measure of operating income or loss to the measure of other companies.

Investment losses (after tax) 0.01 0.01 0.0

Non-GAAP operating income – Class B $ 0.30 $ 0.66 -54.5 %

The statutory combined ratio is a non-GAAP standard measurement of underwriting profitability that is based upon amounts determined under SAP. The statutory combined ratio is the sum of:

the statutory loss ratio, which is the ratio of calendar-year incurred losses and loss expenses, excluding anticipated salvage and subrogation recoveries, to premiums earned;

the statutory expense ratio, which is the ratio of expenses incurred for net commissions, premium taxes and underwriting expenses to premiums written; and

the statutory dividend ratio, which is the ratio of dividends to holders of workers’ compensation policies to premiums earned.

The statutory combined ratio does not reflect investment income, federal income taxes or other non-operating income or expense. A statutory combined ratio of less than 100% generally indicates underwriting profitability.

Dividend Information

On April 16, 2026, we declared regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.1925 per share for our Class A common stock and $0.175 per share for our Class B common stock, which are payable on May 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 1, 2026.
