NI Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

FARGO, North Dakota, May 8, 2026 – NI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NODK) announced today results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Summary of First Quarter 2026 Results

(All comparisons vs. the first quarter of 2025, unless noted otherwise)

·Gross premiums written of $57.5 million compared to $67.8 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was driven by Non-Standard Auto (-99.8%) reflecting the continued impact of the Company’s strategic decision to cease writing this business in Illinois, Arizona and South Dakota, as well as a decline in Private Passenger Auto (-7.0%) due to lower renewal premiums resulting from underwriting actions in prior years. These declines were partially offset by growth in Home and Farm (+7.3%) driven by rate increases, higher insured values, and new business in North Dakota and South Dakota, as well as growth in All Other (+60.0%) due to increased assumed premiums from participation on catastrophe reinsurance programs of certain Farm Bureau insurance companies.

·Combined ratio of 79.7% reflecting strong underwriting performance for Home and Farm, Private Passenger Auto, and All Other, with loss and loss adjustment expense ratios of 40.3%, 46.2%, and 15.7%, respectively. The year-over-year improvement in the combined ratio was driven by higher earned premiums and favorable prior year reserve development in Home and Farm, lower frequency and favorable prior year reserve development in Private Passenger Auto, strong results in All Other due to participation on catastrophe reinsurance programs of certain Farm Bureau insurance companies, as well as the continued runoff of Non-Standard Auto.

·Net investment income of $2.7 million, down 6.4% from the prior year quarter, reflecting consistent yields on a lower average fixed income portfolio balance and lower returns on short-term investments.

·Basic earnings per share of $0.60, compared to $0.31 in the prior year quarter, reflecting improved underwriting profitability and overall operating performance.

Management Commentary

“2026 is off to a solid start, with disciplined underwriting performance across Private Passenger Auto, Home and Farm, and All Other,” said Cindy Launer, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Strong underlying results, with favorable prior year reserve development in Home and Farm and Private Passenger Auto, drove meaningful underwriting profitability in the quarter. While premiums declined as expected due to our exit from Non-Standard Auto, we were encouraged by growth in our North Dakota business and stability in our investment income results.

This quarter reflects early progress in refocusing the Company on its core strengths, and we are confident this disciplined approach will continue to improve performance and drive long-term shareholder value.”
