Moves to Group Catastrophe Structure and Places Inaugural Whole Account Quota Share

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hippo Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HIPO) today announced the successful placement of its 2026 reinsurance program, effective June 1, 2026. The program reflects a significant structural evolution, moving from program-level reinsurance placements toward a consolidated, corporate-level catastrophe structure that better aligns with how Hippo manages its business as a diversified portfolio of insurance risk across lines of business.

"This renewal is another reflection of how we're building Hippo for the world as it is today — volatile, fast-moving, and unforgiving of companies that aren't positioned to respond," said Rick McCathron, President and CEO of Hippo Holdings. "Moving to a group catastrophe structure is the right architecture for a business that manages risk at the portfolio level, not program by program. We've secured meaningful protection, improved our capital efficiency, and brought in new tools like the whole account quota share that give us flexibility as we grow."

Highlights of the 2026 Reinsurance Program

Hippo's 2026 program reflects a significant structural shift, consolidating catastrophe reinsurance into a corporate-level group structure that protects the full enterprise. This approach directly supports Hippo's strategy of managing risk as a diversified portfolio across lines of business, while also improving operational efficiency by reducing the number of separate renewal events. This evolution to portfolio level management, for the first time, allowed Hippo to place a whole account quota share that provides coverage for both property and casualty programs which increases future growth optionality.

The program also includes the previously disclosed renewal of Hippo's Mountain Re catastrophe bond for a three-year term, which expanded this year to include wildfire.
