The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Russell, commented "The quarter ended March 30, 2024, was the first complete quarter for the Company's insurance companies to distribute their auto insurance products solely through their independent agency distribution channels. The market demand for our non-standard auto insurance products remained strong during the quarter with premiums continuing to increase across all channels. Loss ratios have remained stable and are consistent with our expectations. With the increase in total investments resulting from our continued profitability and the proceeds from the sale of our insurance agency in December 2023, as well as the increase in available investment rates, investment income has become a larger contributor to our net income. Management and I are pleased with the Company's continued increased overall operational profitability when compared to prior periods. We also believe that our Company is well positioned to continue the success we have realized over the past several quarters".
