We develop, market, and underwrite insurance products for consumers predominantly in the personal residential homeowners lines of business and perform substantially all other insurance-related services for our primary insurance entities, including risk management, claims management, and distribution. Our primary insurance entities, Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company ( UPCIC ) and American Platinum Property and Casualty Insurance Company ( APPCIC and together with UPCIC, the Insurance Entities ), offer insurance products through both our appointed independent agent network and our online distribution channels across our multi-state footprint (primarily in Florida). The Insurance Entities seek to produce an underwriting profit (defined as earned premium minus losses, loss adjustment expense ( LAE ), policy acquisition costs and other operating costs and expenses) over the long term; maintain a conservative balance sheet to prepare for years in which the Insurance Entities are not able to achieve an underwriting profit; and generate investment income on assets. Business Strategy UVE’s strategic focus is on creating a best-in-class experience for our customers and delivering strong shareholder returns across underwriting cycles.
