HCI Group, Inc. is primarily engaged in the property and casualty insurance business. The company provides homeowners’ property and casualty insurance policies for properties located mainly in Florida and also in select states across the northeast and southeast regions of the United States. In addition to its core insurance operations, HCI Group, Inc. supports its activities through a technology subsidiary, reciprocal exchange services, a commercial real estate group, and a corporate oversight function. The firm is incorporated in Florida and its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker HCI.

Revenue is generated primarily from insurance premiums collected on homeowners’ policies written by its two operating carriers, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. and TypTap Insurance Company. The technology subsidiary Exzeo contributes revenue by licensing its proprietary software platform and providing related services such as underwriting tools, claims management, and reinsurance placement to both affiliated and unaffiliated insurance carriers. Reciprocal exchange operations produce fees for acting as attorney in fact managing policy administration, underwriting, and claims for policyholder owned exchanges. The real estate segment earns income from leasing commercial properties and from investment holdings such as marinas, retail centers, and office parks. Corporate and Other includes the holding company’s general overhead and any incidental activities that do not meet segment thresholds.

The company organizes its activities into five reportable segments that are used by the chief executive officer to assess performance and allocate resources. These segments are Insurance Operations, Exzeo, Reciprocal Exchange Operations, Real Estate, and Corporate and Other.

• Insurance Operations consists of the two active property and casualty carriers Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. and TypTap Insurance Company which underwrite homeowners’ policies in Florida and selected northeast and southeast states, maintain a captive reinsurance subsidiary to retain risk and lower third party reinsurance costs, and provide auxiliary services such as claim adjusting and processing.

• Exzeo provides turnkey insurance technology and operations solutions through its proprietary platform that includes policy administration, underwriting, claims management, data reporting, and financial reporting tools, offers expert reinsurance placement services, and holds necessary insurance agency and managing general agent licenses to support its customer base.

• Reciprocal Exchange Operations involves the company acting as attorney in fact for consolidated reciprocal insurance exchanges owned by their policyholders, overseeing general administration, marketing, underwriting, accounting, policy administration, claims adjusting, and information technology for those exchanges.

• The Real Estate segment develops and operates commercial properties for investment or internal use, owning office buildings in Tampa and Ocala, Florida, and holding investment properties such as two marinas, three retail shopping centers, two corporate office parks, and undeveloped land that generates lease income from unaffiliated tenants.

• Corporate and Other comprises the holding company HCI Group, Inc. and ancillary activities that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for a separate segment, including the provision of attorney in fact services to reciprocal exchanges and any other minor operations.

HCI Group, Inc. operates in a competitive property and casualty insurance market where it faces large national carriers, regional insurers, and Florida specific providers such as Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. The company differentiates itself through its integrated technology platform supplied by Exzeo, which enhances underwriting efficiency, claims processing speed, and operational visibility. Its disciplined underwriting approach, focus on timely claims settlement, and strategic policy assumption from Citizens and other insurers support steady book growth. Additionally, the reciprocal exchange structure provides a unique fee based revenue stream that is less reliant on premium volatility, while the real estate holdings add diversification and stable cash flows.

The company serves individual homeowners seeking property and casualty coverage in Florida and other southeastern and northeastern states, independent insurance agents who place policies with its carriers, unaffiliated insurance carriers that license Exzeo’s technology platform, and commercial tenants leasing space from its investment properties such as marinas, retail centers, and office parks.
