The Q1 2024 combined ratio included an improved loss ratio of 58.2%, which compares to the 77.3% loss ratio reported in Q1 2023.<\/p>\n

The reinsurer\u2019s total written premiums in Q1 2024 were around USD 273.77 million (R$1,440.1mn), compared to Q1 2023 USD 301.07 million (R$1,583.7mn).<\/p>\n

Written premiums abroad totaled USD 72.24 million (R$ 380mn) for the Q1 2024, a 34.2% decrease from the Q1 2023.

Retroceded premiums for the Q1 2024 decreased 5.7% from the Q1 2023. The retrocession ratio changed from 21.1% for last year\u2019s first quarter to 21.9% for Q1 2024.<\/p>\n

Total underwriting profit increased to USD 23.27 million (R$ 122.4mn) in Q1 2024, from USD 0.70 million (R$ 3.7mn) in the same period the year prior, a result of the improvement in nearly all segments, the reinsurer noted.<\/p>\n
