The shareholder announcements come on the back of the group’s first quarter 2024 results, which were released in early May.
Those results pointed to a significant increase in net income – climbing to $36.4 million. This was largely attributed to growth in business along with an improvement in US fronting. The firm also pointed to higher net investment income – overall, net income enjoyed a 16% year-on-year rise.
“Trisura demonstrated strong performance in the quarter with operating net income of $33.2 million, or $0.68 per share, driven by continued growth, profitable underwriting and higher investment income,” said David Clare, Trisura’s president and CEO at the time.
“Continued expansion of market share and distribution partners drove insurance revenue growth of 16.5%. In Canada, disciplined underwriting resulted in a combined ratio of 81.8%, while in US fronting continued growth and an improved loss ratio resulted in a strong insurance service result and improved fronting operational ratio.”
