Disclaimer This presentation contains forward-looking statements about Palomar Holdings, Inc.(the “Company”). These statements involve known and unknown risks that relate to the Company’s future events or future financial performance and the actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this presentation. This presentation also includes financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see the appendix to this present. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘expects’’, ‘‘plans’’, ‘‘anticipates’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘intends’’, ‘‘target’’, ‘‘projects’’, ‘‘contemplates’’, ‘‘believes’’, ‘‘estimates’’, ‘‘predicts’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘potential’’ or ‘‘continue’’ or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to our future financial performance, our business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, future results of operations; financial position; the impact of the ongoing and global COVID-19 pandemic; general economic, political and other risks, including currency and stock market fluctuations and uncertain economic environment; the volatility of the trading price of our common stock; and our expectations about market trends. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in its forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements the Company makes. While the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company has no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Additional risks and uncertainties relating to the Company and its business can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of Palomar Holdings, Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. 2 |

XOL reinsurance purchases allow us to grow into the limit that we buy over the life of those contracts. We start expensing the XOL immediately when the new contracts go into effect. Assuming our GEP will continue to grow, our Ceded EP/GEP ratio at the beginning of any given contract represents the highest Ceded EP/GEP for that contract. The yellow highlighted sections show the calculation of Ceded XOL on a written and earned basis. The Ceded XOL on a written basis and on an earned basis are calculated the same. |
Theoretical Net Written Premium vs Net Earned Premium 26 This example represents flat written premium with no changes to XOL reinsurance expense. With flat written premium the difference between net written and earned premium only exists in Year 1 when the earned premium is building to steady state. Once the earned premium reaches steady state the net written and earned are the same.
