The company’s net earned premium also saw a notable rise, increasing by 12.5% to $354.1 million for the second quarter and by 11.9% to $697.1 million for the first half of the year, driven by a combination of higher renewal premiums and increased exposure.

This growth was supported by a 33.5% increase in net investment income, which reached $28.9 million in the second quarter, attributed to a larger fixed income portfolio and reinvestment at higher yields. However, UFG reported net investment losses of $0.4 million for the second quarter, a decrease from losses of $1.0 million in the same quarter of 2025.

UFG's total assets increased to $4.0 billion as of June 30, 2026, up from $3.8 billion at the end of 2025, primarily due to growth in investments and premiums receivable.

Looking ahead, UFG remains optimistic about its growth trajectory, focusing on expanding its market share and enhancing its product offerings while navigating the challenges posed by market conditions and competitive pressures.
