What they said
Heritage Insurance Holdings reported record Q2 2026 net income of $61.7 million, record diluted EPS of $2.05, and annualized ROE exceeding 45%, with operating cash flow of $166.5 million. The company has executed a multi-year strategic repositioning focused on rate adequacy, portfolio re-underwriting, and geographic diversification beyond Florida into a super-regional platform. Policy count declines are moderating as nearly all territories are now open for new business.
Guidance
Management believes personal residential business is approaching a policy count growth inflection point as new business production strengthens and retention remains healthy. Guidewire platform rollout is causing temporary production slowdown but agent adoption is expected to improve meaningfully post-implementation.
