Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include any statement that does not directly relate to historical or current fact. These statements may discuss, among others, our future financial performance, our business prospects and strategy, our anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital, dividends and general market and industry conditions. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "projects," "believes," "seeks," "outlook," "future," "will," "would," "should," "could," "may," "can have," "prospects" or similar terms. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by a forward-looking statement. Factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation:

•the possibility that our loss reserves may be inadequate to cover our actual losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;

•the inherent uncertainty of models resulting in actual losses that are materially different than our estimates;

•the failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we employ, or change in other claims or coverage issues, having a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations;

•the inability to obtain reinsurance coverage at reasonable prices and on terms that adequately protect us;

•the possibility that severe weather conditions and ~~other~~ catastrophes, ~~may result in an increase in the number~~including due to climate change, pandemics and ~~amount~~similar events adversely affecting our business, results of ~~claims filed against us;~~operations and financial condition;

•adverse economic factors, including recession, inflation, periods of high unemployment or lower economic activity resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in frequency or severity of claims and premium defaults or both, affecting our growth and profitability;

•a decline in our financial strength rating adversely affecting the amount of business we write;

•the potential loss of one or more key executives or an inability to attract and retain qualified personnel adversely affecting our results of operations;

•our reliance on a select group of brokers;

•the changing market conditions of our excess and surplus lines ("E&S") insurance operations, as well as the cyclical nature of our business, affecting our financial performance;

•our employees taking excessive risks;

•the intense competition for business in our industry;

•the effects of litigation having an adverse effect on our business;

•the performance of our investment portfolio adversely affecting our financial results;

•the ability to pay dividends being dependent on our ability to obtain cash dividends or other permitted payments from our insurance subsidiary;

•being forced to sell investments to meet our liquidity requirements;

Table of Contents

•extensive regulation adversely affecting our ability to achieve our business objectives or the failure to comply with these regulations adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations;

•the other risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

KINSALE CAPITAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Summary of ~~significant accounting policies~~Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

~~Recently adopted~~Prospective accounting pronouncements

~~Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes~~

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated guidance for the accounting for income taxes. The updated guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions contained in existing guidance and amending other existing guidance to simplify several other income tax accounting matters. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, which did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

There are no prospective accounting standards which, upon their effective date, would have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Available-for-sale securities in a loss position

The Company regularly reviews all its available-for-sale investments with unrealized losses to assess whether the decline in the fair value is deemed to be a credit loss. The Company considers a number of factors in completing its review of credit losses, including the extent to which a security's fair value has been below cost and the financial condition of an issuer. In addition to specific issuer information, the Company also evaluates the current market and interest rate environment. Generally, a ~~change~~decline in a security’s value caused by a change in the market or interest rate environment does not constitute a credit loss.

For fixed-maturity securities, the Company also considers whether it intends to sell the security or, if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, and its ability to recover all amounts outstanding when contractually due. When assessing whether it intends to sell a fixed-maturity security or, if it is

Table of Contents

likely to be required to sell a fixed-maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost, the Company evaluates facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, decisions to reposition the investment portfolio, potential sales of investments to meet cash flow needs and potential sales of investments to capitalize on favorable pricing.

~~Table of Contents~~

For fixed-maturity securities where a decline in fair value is below the amortized cost basis and the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, an impairment is recognized in net income based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment. For fixed-maturity securities that the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost, the Company compares the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost of the security. The extent to which the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost of the security represents the credit-related portion of the impairment, which is recognized in net income through an allowance for credit losses. Any remaining decline in fair value represents the noncredit portion of the impairment, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The Company reports investment income due and accrued separately from available-for-sale investments and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for investment income due and accrued. Investment income due and accrued is written off through ~~net realized gains (losses) on investments~~earnings at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payments.

The following tables summarize gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value for available-for-sale investments by length of time that the securities have continuously been in an unrealized loss position:

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company held ~~121~~600 fixed-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position with a total estimated fair value of ~~$296.8 million~~$1.2 billion and gross unrealized losses of ~~$3.0~~$66.5 million. Of these securities, 735 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than one year. As discussed above, the Company regularly reviews all fixed-maturity securities within its investment portfolio to determine whether a credit loss has occurred. Based on the Company's review as of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, unrealized losses were caused by interest rate changes or other market factors and were not credit-specific issues. At ~~June 30, 2021, 80.0%~~March 31, 2022, 80.8% of the Company’s fixed-maturity securities

3. Fair ~~value measurements~~Value Measurements

Fair value is estimated for each class of financial instrument ~~for which it was practical to estimate~~based on the framework established in the fair ~~value.~~value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price in the principal market that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability to facilitate an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not acting under duress. Fair value hierarchy disclosures are based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable for the asset or liability and are significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair values of the Company's investment portfolio are estimated using unadjusted prices obtained by its investment accounting vendor from nationally recognized third-party pricing services, where available. Values for U.S. Treasuries and exchange traded funds are generally based on Level 1 inputs, which use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. For other fixed-maturity securities and non-redeemable preferred stock, the pricing vendors use a pricing methodology involving the market approach, including pricing models which use prices and relevant market information regarding a particular security or securities with similar characteristics to establish a valuation. The estimates of fair value of these investments are included in the amounts disclosed as Level 2. For those investments where significant inputs are unobservable, the Company's investment accounting vendor obtains valuations from pricing vendors or brokers using the market approach and income approach valuation techniques and are disclosed as Level 3.

Management performs several procedures to ascertain the reasonableness of investment values included in the condensed consolidated financial statements, including 1) obtaining and reviewing internal control reports from the Company's investment accounting vendor that assess fair values from third party pricing services, 2) discussing with the Company's investment accounting vendor its process for reviewing and validating pricing obtained from third party pricing services and 3) reviewing the security pricing received from the Company's investment accounting vendor and monitoring changes in unrealized gains and losses at the individual security level. The Company has evaluated the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs.

The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Incentive Plan may not exceed 2,073,832.

The total compensation cost that has been charged against income for share-based compensation arrangements was ~~$2.3~~$1.5 million and ~~$1.7~~$1.0 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company granted restricted stock awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan. The restricted stock awards were valued on the date of grant and will vest over a period of 1 to 4 ~~years.~~years corresponding to the anniversary date of the grants. The fair value of restricted stock awards was determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s shares on the grant date or, if no shares were traded on the grant date, the last preceding date for which there was a sale of shares. Except for restrictions placed on the transferability of restricted stock, holders of unvested restricted stock have full stockholder’s rights, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends. Unvested shares of restricted stock awards and accrued dividends, if any, are forfeited upon the termination of service to or employment with the Company.

Stock Options

On July 27, 2016, the Board of Directors approved, and the Company granted, 1,036,916 stock options with an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share and a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $2.71 per share. The options have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and vested in 4 equal annual installments following the date of the grant.

The value of the options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions:


Risk-free rate of return	1.26	%
Dividend yield	1.25	%
Expected share price volatility(1)	18.50	%
Expected life in years(2)	6.3 years

(1) Expected volatility was based on the Company’s competitors within the industry.

(2) Expected life was calculated using the simplified method, which was an average of the contractual term of the option and its ordinary vesting period, as the Company did not have sufficient historical data for determining the expected term of our stock option awards.

9. Income ~~taxes~~Taxes

The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its tax provision in interim periods, which represents the Company's best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year. The estimated annual effective tax rate typically differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate, primarily as a result of tax-exempt investment income and any discrete items recognized during the period. The Company's effective tax rates were 18.2% and 18.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates were

Table of Contents

~~18.5% and 14.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rates were~~ lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the tax benefits from stock-based compensation and from income generated by certain tax-exempt investments.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022, the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses held at December 31, 2021 developed favorably by $8.3 million, of which $10.1 million was attributable to the 2021 and 2020 accident years due to lower than expected reported losses across most lines of business. This was offset by $2.0 million of unfavorable development from accident years 2016 and 2018 due to a few large claims.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses held at December 31, 2020 developed favorably by $16.2 million, of which $21.8 million was attributable to the 2020 accident year and reflected lower emergence of reported losses than expected across most lines of business. This favorable development was offset in part by adverse development, mostly attributable to the 2018 accident year as a result of modest adjustments in actuarial assumptions.

~~During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses held at December 31, 2019 developed favorably by $6.6~~$7.1 million. The favorable development was primarily attributable to the ~~2019~~2020 accident year of ~~$5.0~~$9.5 million, which resulted from reported losses emerging at a lower level than expected across most lines of business.

12. Credit Agreement

On May 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provided the Company with a $50.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and an uncommitted accordion feature that permits the Company to increase the commitments by an additional $30.0 million. The Credit Facility has a maturity of May 28, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility were used to fund construction of the Company’s new headquarters but may also be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

~~Table of Contents~~

Loans under the Credit Facility may be subject to varying rates of interest depending on whether the loan is a Eurodollar loan or an alternate base rate ("ABR") loan, at the Company's election. Eurodollar loans bear an interest rate per annum equal to adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period plus a margin of 1.75%. ABR loans bear

Table of Contents

an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the higher of the prime rate, the New York Federal Reserve Board Rate plus 0.50% or the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1%, plus (b) the applicable margin of 0.75%. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, there was ~~$42.6~~$42.7 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, net of debt issuance cost of ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million, with a weighted average interest rate of ~~1.91%~~2.19%.

The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, as well as customary events of default provisions. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Overview

Founded in 2009, Kinsale is a specialty insurance company. Kinsale focuses exclusively on the excess and surplus lines ("E&S") market in the U.S., where we use our underwriting expertise to write coverages for hard-to-place small business risks and personal lines risks. We market these insurance products in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, primarily through a network of independent insurance brokers.

We have one reportable segment, our Excess and Surplus Lines Insurance segment, which offers property and casualty ("P&C") insurance products through the E&S market. For the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2021,~~2022, the percentage breakdown of our gross written premiums was ~~86%~~82% casualty and ~~14%~~18% property. Our commercial underwriting divisions include small business, ~~construction,~~commercial property, excess casualty, ~~commercial property,~~construction, allied health, ~~product~~products liability, general casualty, life sciences, professional liability, management liability, energy, ~~environmental,~~ health care, environmental, entertainment, inland marine and public ~~entity, and commercial insurance.~~entity. We also write a small amount of homeowners insurance in the personal lines market, which in aggregate represented 4%3% of our gross written premiums in the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2021,~~2022 and is included within our personal insurance division.

COVID-19

~~We have been closely monitoring~~Consistent with 2021, the ~~impact~~Company's results of ~~the~~operations, financial position and cash flows were not materially impacted by COVID-19 ~~pandemic~~ and the related economic effects ~~on all aspects~~during the first three months of 2022. For further discussion, see Part II, Item 7. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our ~~business, including how it will impact premium volume, losses and~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~fair value of our investment portfolio.~~

To date, management has not seen a significant decrease in the growth rate of its gross written premiums since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related pressure in certain sectors of the U.S. economy. Over the past few years, including a time period preceding COVID-19, the E&S segment of the P&C market has been experiencing rapid growth due to dislocation in the overall property and casualty market and management expects premium growth to continue throughout the remainder ofyear ended December 31, 2021.

With respect to reported claims, Kinsale does not write lines of business with heightened exposure to COVID-19 related claims. Specifically, Kinsale does not write event cancellation, mortgage insurance, trade credit or surety, workers' compensation or reinsurance business. Lines of business written by Kinsale that could be subject to COVID-19 related claims include general liability, management liability, healthcare-related professional liability and commercial property. In each case, policy terms and conditions would be expected to preclude coverage for

~~Table of Contents~~

virus-related claims. Although management cannot definitively determine the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions at this time, management has not experienced any material adverse effect on Kinsale’s loss ratios due to COVID-19 related claims.

With respect to our investment portfolio, we seek to hold a high-quality, diversified portfolio of investments. During the first quarter of 2020, we experienced a significant decline in the fair value of our investment portfolio due to disruption in the global financial markets associated with COVID-19. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2020, the fair values of our investment portfolio rebounded sharply, gaining back all of the decline in fair value. However, during economic downturns, certain investments may default or become impaired due to deterioration in the financial condition or due to deterioration in the financial condition of an insurer that guarantees an issuer’s payments on such investments. Given the conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we do not expect a material adverse impact on the value of our investment portfolio or a long-term negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as it relates to COVID-19.

Components of ~~our results~~Our Results of ~~operations~~Operations

Gross written premiums

Gross written premiums are the amounts received or to be received for insurance policies written or assumed by us during a specific period of time without reduction for policy acquisition costs, reinsurance costs or other deductions. The volume of our gross written premiums in any given period is generally influenced by:

•New business submissions;

Table of Contents

•Conversion of new business submissions into policies;

•Renewals of existing policies; and

•Average size and premium rate of bound policies.

We earn insurance premiums on a pro rata basis over the term of the policy. Our insurance policies generally have a term of one year. Net earned premiums represent the earned portion of our gross written premiums, less that portion of our gross written premiums that is ceded to third-party reinsurers under our reinsurance agreements.

Ceded written premiums

Ceded written premiums are the amount of gross written premiums ceded to reinsurers. We enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our exposure to potential large losses. Ceded written premiums are earned over the reinsurance contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered. The volume of our ceded written premiums is impacted by the level of our gross written premiums and any decision we make to increase or decrease retention levels.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses are a function of the amount and type of insurance contracts we write and the loss experience associated with the underlying coverage. In general, our losses and loss adjustment expenses are affected by:

•Frequency of claims associated with the particular types of insurance contracts that we write;

•Trends in the average size of losses incurred on a particular type of business;

•Mix of business written by us;

•Changes in the legal or regulatory environment related to the business we write;

•Trends in legal defense costs;

•Wage inflation; and

~~Table of Contents~~

•Inflation in medical costs.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses are based on an actuarial analysis of the estimated losses, including losses incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior periods. Losses and loss adjustment expenses may be paid out over a period of years.

Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses

Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses include policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. Policy acquisition costs are principally comprised of the commissions we pay our brokers, net of ceding commissions we receive on business ceded under certain reinsurance contracts. Policy acquisition costs also include underwriting expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition of those policies which are deferred. The amortization of policy acquisition costs is charged to expense in proportion to premium earned over the policy life.

Other underwriting expenses represent the general and administrative expenses of our insurance business such as employment costs, telecommunication and technology costs, and legal and auditing fees.

Net investment income

Net investment income is an important component of our results of operations. We earn investment income on our portfolio of cash and invested assets. Our cash and invested assets are primarily comprised of fixed-maturity securities, and may also include cash equivalents, equity securities and short-term investments. The principal factors that influence net investment income are the size of our investment portfolio and the yield on that portfolio. As measured by amortized cost (which excludes changes in fair value), the size of our investment portfolio is mainly a function of our invested equity capital combined with premiums we receive from our insureds less payments on policyholder claims.

Change in fair value of equity securities

Change in fair value of equity securities represents the increase or decrease in the fair value of equity securities held during the period.

Net realized investment gains ~~(losses)~~

Net realized investment gains ~~(losses)~~ are a function of the difference between the amount received by us on the sale of a security and the security's amortized ~~cost, as well as any credit impairments recognized in earnings.~~cost.

Income tax expense

Currently, substantially all of our income tax expense relates to federal income taxes. Our insurance subsidiary, Kinsale Insurance Company, is not subject to income taxes in the states in which it operates; however, our non-insurance subsidiaries are subject to state income taxes, but have not generated any material taxable income to date. The amount of income tax expense or benefit recorded in future periods will depend on the jurisdictions in which we operate and the tax laws and regulations in effect.

Key metrics

We discuss certain key metrics, described below, which we believe provide useful information about our business and the operational factors underlying our financial performance.

Underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define underwriting income as net income, excluding net investment income, net change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized gains and losses on investments, other income, other expenses and income tax expense. See "—Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures" for a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP to underwriting income.

~~Table of Contents~~

Net operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define net operating earnings as net income excluding the net change in the fair value of equity securities, after taxes, and net realized gains and losses on investments, after taxes. See "—Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures" for a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP to net operating earnings.

Loss ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums.

Expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses to net earned premiums.

Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% indicates an underwriting loss.

Return on equity is net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending total stockholders’ equity during the period.

Table of Contents

Operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define operating return on equity as net operating earnings expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending total stockholders’ equity during the period. See "—Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures" for a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP to net operating earnings.

Net retention ratio is the ratio of net written premiums to gross written premiums.

Gross investment return is investment income from fixed-maturity and equity securities, before any deductions for fees and expenses, expressed as a percentage of the average beginning and ending book value of those investments during the period.

(2) Net operating earnings and annualized operating return on equity are non-GAAP financial measures. Net operating earnings is defined as net income excluding the net change in the fair value of equity securities, after taxes, and net realized investment gains and losses, after taxes. Annualized operating return on equity is defined as net operating earnings expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending total stockholders’ equity during the period.

The increase in gross written premiums for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 over the same period last year was due to higher submission activity from brokers and higher rates ~~on bound accounts,~~across most lines of business, resulting from continued favorable ~~market conditions.~~conditions in the E&S market. The average premium on a policy written was ~~approximately $9,900~~$11,800 in the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~approximately $8,500~~$9,800 in the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020.~~2021.

Net written premiums increased by ~~$50.1~~$72.2 million, or ~~42.6%~~50.0%, to ~~$167.8~~$216.5 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$117.6~~$144.3 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The increase in net written premiums for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to higher gross written premiums. The net retention ratio was ~~86.4%~~88.2% for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to ~~87.7%~~85.4% for the ~~three months ended June 30, 2020.~~same period last year. The ~~decrease~~increase in the net retention ratio was ~~largely~~primarily due to ~~the~~lower reinstatement premiums on certain property reinsurance treaties and a change in the mix of business ~~and higher reinstatement premiums in the second~~ quarter ~~of 2021~~ over ~~the second quarter of 2020.~~quarter.

Net earned premiums increased by ~~$40.7~~$55.5 million, or ~~42.0%~~45.1%, to ~~$137.7~~$178.6 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$97.0~~$123.0 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020 and was directly related~~March 31, 2021 due to growth in gross written premiums.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, prior accident years developed favorably by $8.3 million, of which $10.1 million was attributable to the 2021 and 2020 accident years due to lower than expected reported losses across most lines of business. This was offset by $2.0 million of unfavorable development from accident years 2016 and 2018 due to a few large claims.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, loss reserves from prior accident years and slightly lower loss selections for the current accident year, offset in part by an increase in catastrophe losses in the current accident year, largely from development on losses related to winter storms Uri and Viola in Texas. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, prior accident years developed favorably by ~~$9.1 million, of which $12.3 million~~$7.1 million.

~~NM - Percentage change not meaningful.~~

Our net investment income increased by ~~11.8%~~30.9% to ~~$7.4~~$9.1 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$6.6~~$6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to growth in our investment portfolio generated from the investment of positive cash flow since June 30, 2020. Our investment portfolio, excluding cash equivalents and unrealized gains and losses, had an annualized gross investment return of 2.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 3.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The change in unrealized gains on our equity investment portfolio was $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, the change in unrealized gains was mostly attributable to our exchange-traded fund ("ETF") securities, whose valuations are largely reflective of the broader U.S. stock markets. During the second quarter of 2020, the fair value of our ETF securities rebounded sharply from a significant decline in fair value driven by the disruption in the financial markets in March ~~2020 associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

~~Income tax expense~~

Our effective tax rate was 18.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 17.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rates were lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due to the tax benefits from stock-based compensation and tax-exempt investment income.

~~(1)Underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "—Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures" for a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP to underwriting income.~~

~~(2)~~Net operating earnings and annualized operating return on equity are non-GAAP financial measures. Net operating earnings is defined as net income excluding the net change in the fair value of equity securities, after taxes, and net realized investment gains and losses, after taxes. Annualized operating return on equity is defined as net operating earnings expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending total stockholders’ equity during the period. See "—Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures" for a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP to net operating earnings.

Net income was $67.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 91.6%. The increase in net income for the first six months of 2021 over the same period last year was primarily due to a number of factors including higher returns on equity investments as a result of a rebound in the financial markets, growth in the business from favorable market conditions and continued rate increases, and higher net favorable development of loss reserves from prior accident years.

~~Table of Contents~~

Underwriting income was $53.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 77.0%. The corresponding combined ratios were 79.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 83.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in underwriting income for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period last year was largely due to premium growth from a positive underwriting environment, continued rate increases and higher net favorable development of loss reserves from prior accident years. These increases were offset in part by modest activity in catastrophe losses, largely from development on losses related to winter storms Uri and Viola in Texas.

~~Premiums~~

Our gross written premiums were $362.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $258.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $104.8 million, or 40.6%. The increase in gross written premiums for the first six months of 2021 over the same period last year was due to higher submission activity from brokers and higher rates across most lines of business, resulting from continued favorable conditions in the E&S market. The average premium on a policy written was approximately $9,900 in the first six months of 2021 compared to approximately $8,800 in the first six months of 2020. Excluding our personal lines insurance, which has a relatively low premium per policy written, the average premium on a policy written was approximately $12,600 for the first six months of 2021 and approximately $11,600 for the first six months of 2020.

Net written premiums increased by $86.4 million, or 38.3%, to $312.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $225.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net written premiums for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to higher gross written premiums. The net retention ratio was 86.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 87.4% for the same period last year. The decrease in the net retention ratio was primarily due to reinstatement premiums on the property lines of business and change in the mix of business.

Net earned premiums increased by $74.0 million, or 39.6%, to $260.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $186.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to growth in gross written premiums.

~~Loss ratio~~

The loss ratio was 57.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 60.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the loss ratio in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020 was due primarily from favorable net development of reserves from prior accident years and slightly lower loss selections for the current accident year, offset in part by an increase in catastrophe losses in the current accident year, largely from development on losses related to winter storms Uri and Viola in Texas.

During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, the favorable development of loss reserves from prior accident years was primarily due to reported losses emerging at lower levels than expected. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, prior accident years developed favorably by $16.2 million, of which $21.8 million was attributable to the 2020 accident year and reflected lower emergence of reported losses than expected. This favorable development was offset in part by adverse development, mostly attributable to the 2018 accident year as a result of modest adjustments in actuarial assumptions.

~~During the six months ended June 30, 2020, loss reserves from prior accident years developed favorably by $6.6 million, of which $5.0 million was attributable to the 2019 accident year.~~

The expense ratio was 22.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the expense ratio was due to lower other underwriting expenses and lower net commissions incurred as a percentage of earned premiums. The decrease in the other underwriting expense ratio was primarily due to higher net earned premiums, without a proportional increase in the amount of other underwriting expenses, as a result of management's focus on controlling costs. The decrease in the net commissions incurred ratio was mostly due to a higher ceding commissions on the excess casualty lines from a change in the mix of business and from ceding commissions from the personal insurance quota share treaty, effective June 1, 2020.

~~Our net investment income increased by 14.0% to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.~~ 2021. This increase in the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to growth in our investment portfolio largely generated from the investment of positive cash flow since ~~June 30, 2020 and proceeds from our equity offering in the third quarter of 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Our fixed-maturity investment portfolio, excluding cash equivalents and unrealized gains and losses, had an annualized gross investment return of 2.5% for the three months and ended March 31, 2022 and 2.6% for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021 and 3.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

During the first ~~six~~three months of 2022, the change in fair value of equity securities was comprised of unrealized losses related to exchange traded funds ("ETFs") of $4.5 million and unrealized losses related to non-redeemable preferred stock of $3.2 million. The change in unrealized losses during the first three months of 2022 attributable to ETFs was largely reflective of the broader U.S. stock market. The change in unrealized losses during the first three months of 2022 attributable to non-redeemable preferred stock was reflective of a higher interest rate environment.

During the first three months of 2021, the change in fair value of equity securities was comprised of unrealized gains related to ~~ETF securities~~ETFs of ~~$14.3~~$7.5 million and unrealized ~~gains~~losses related to ~~non-redeemable~~ preferred stock of $0.4 million. ~~The change in unrealized~~Unrealized gains during the first ~~half~~quarter of 2021 ~~attributable to ETF securities was~~were largely reflective of the gains in the broader U.S. stock market.

During the first six months of 2020, the change in fair value of equity securities was comprised of unrealized losses related to non-redeemable preferred stock of $1.5 million and unrealized losses related to ETF securities of $0.8 million. The fair value of ETF securities declined by $13.1 million during the first quarter of 2020, driven by the disruption in the financial markets associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and, subsequently, the fair value of those securities rebounded sharply during the second quarter of 2020.

We perform quarterly reviews of all available-for-sale securities within our investment portfolio to determine whether the decline in a security's fair value is deemed to be a credit loss. Management concluded that there were no credit losses from available-for-sale investments for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 or ~~2020.~~

~~Other expense, net~~

~~For the six months ended June 30, 2021, other expense, net was comprised of interest expense of $0.5 million and building costs not allocated to the insurance operations of $0.3 million.~~2021.

Sources and uses of funds

We are organized as a Delaware holding company with our operations primarily conducted by our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Kinsale Insurance Company, which is domiciled in Arkansas. Accordingly, we may receive cash through (1) loans from banks and other third parties, (2) issuance of equity and debt securities, (3) corporate service fees from our insurance subsidiary, (4) payments from our subsidiaries pursuant to our consolidated tax allocation agreement and other transactions, and (5) dividends from our insurance subsidiary. We may use the proceeds from these sources to contribute funds to Kinsale Insurance Company in order to support premium growth, reduce our reliance on reinsurance, pay dividends and taxes and for other business purposes.

We receive corporate service fees from Kinsale Insurance Company to reimburse us for most of the operating expenses that we incur. Reimbursement of expenses through corporate service fees is based on the actual costs that we expect to incur with no mark-up above our expected costs.

In August 2019, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC that expires in 2022. We can use this shelf registration to issue an unspecified amount of ~~debt securities,~~ common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. The specific terms of any securities we issue under this registration statement will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplements.

Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity available both in Kinsale and in its insurance subsidiary, Kinsale Insurance Company, as well as in its other operating subsidiaries, to meet its operating cash needs and obligations and committed capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

Cash flows

Our most significant source of cash is from premiums received from our insureds, which, for most policies, we receive at the beginning of the coverage period. Our most significant cash outflow is for claims that arise when a policyholder incurs an insured loss. Because the payment of claims occurs after the receipt of the premium, often years later, we invest the cash in various investment securities that earn interest and dividends. We also use cash to pay commissions to insurance brokers, as well as to pay for ongoing operating expenses such as salaries, consulting services and taxes. As described under "—Reinsurance" below, we use reinsurance to manage the risk that we take related to the issuance of our policies. We cede, or pay out, part of the premiums we receive to our reinsurers and collect cash back when losses subject to our reinsurance coverage are paid.

The timing of our cash flows from operating activities can vary among periods due to the timing by which payments are made or received. Some of our payments and receipts, including loss settlements and subsequent reinsurance receipts, can be significant, so their timing can influence cash flows from operating activities in any given period. Management believes that cash receipts from premiums, proceeds from investment sales and redemptions and investment income are sufficient to cover cash outflows in the foreseeable future.

Reinsurance

We enter into reinsurance contracts primarily to limit our exposure to potential large losses. Reinsurance involves an insurance company transferring ("ceding") a portion of its exposure on a risk to another insurer, the reinsurer. The reinsurer assumes the exposure in return for a portion of the premium. Our reinsurance is primarily contracted under quota-share reinsurance contracts and excess of loss contracts. In quota-share reinsurance, the reinsurer agrees to assume a specified percentage of the ceding company's losses arising out of a defined class of business in exchange for a corresponding percentage of premiums, net of a ceding commission. In excess of loss reinsurance, the reinsurer agrees to assume all or a portion of the ceding company's losses, in excess of a specified amount. Under excess of loss reinsurance, the premium payable to the reinsurer is negotiated by the parties based on their assessment of the amount of risk being ceded to the reinsurer because the reinsurer does not share proportionately in the ceding company's losses.

We renew our reinsurance treaties annually. During each renewal cycle, there are a number of factors we consider when determining our reinsurance coverage, including (1) plans to change the underlying insurance coverage we offer, (2) trends in loss activity, (3) the level of our capital and surplus, (4) changes in our risk appetite and (5) the cost and availability of reinsurance coverage.

To manage our natural catastrophe exposure, we use computer models to analyze the risk of severe losses. We measure exposure to these losses in terms of probable maximum loss ("PML"), which is an estimate of the amount of loss we would expect to meet or exceed once in a given number of years (referred to as the return period). When managing our catastrophe exposure, we focus on the ~~100 year~~100-year and the ~~250 year~~250-year return periods.

The following is a summary of our significant reinsurance programs as of ~~June 30, 2021:~~March 31, 2022:

Line of Business Covered

Company Policy Limit

Reinsurance Coverage

Company Retention

Property - per risk (1)

Up to $10.0 million per risk

$5.75 million excess of $3.0 million

$3.0 million per occurrence

Property - personal insurance (2)

N/A

50% up to $30.4 million per catastrophe

50% of all personal property losses

Property - catastrophe (3)

N/A

$60.0 million excess of $15.0 million

$15.0 million per catastrophe

Primary casualty (4)

Up to $10.0 million per occurrence

$8.0 million excess of $2.0 million

$2.0 million per occurrence

Excess casualty (5)

Up to $10.0 million per occurrence

Variable quota share

$2.0 million per occurrence except as described in note (5) below

(1) Our property per-risk reinsurance reduces the financial impact of a large loss on a single commercial property or inland marine policy. In addition to the Company's retention, this treaty includes a deductible of the first $4.0 million of losses covered under this reinsurance treaty. This treaty also includes a reinstatement provision which

~~Table of Contents~~

requires us to pay reinstatement premiums after a loss in excess of $5 million has occurred in order to preserve coverage.

(2) Our personal insurance quota share reinsurance reduces the financial impact of property losses on our personal insurance policies.

(3) Our property catastrophe reinsurance reduces the financial impact of a catastrophe event involving multiple claims and policyholders. Our property catastrophe reinsurance includes a reinstatement provision which requires us to pay reinstatement premiums after a loss has occurred in order to preserve coverage. Including the

Table of Contents

reinstatement provision, the maximum aggregate loss recovery limit is $120 million and is in addition to the per-occurrence coverage provided by our treaty coverages.

(4) Reinsurance is not applicable to any individual policy with a per-occurrence limit of $2.0 million or less.

(5) For casualty policies with a per-occurrence limit higher than $2.0 million, the ceding percentage varies such that the retention is always $2.0 million or less. For example, for a $4.0 million limit excess policy, our retention would be 50%, whereas for a $10.0 million limit excess policy, our retention would be 20%. For policies for which we also write an underlying primary limit, the retention on the primary and excess policy combined would not exceed $2.0 million.

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to policyholders. Failure of the reinsurer to honor its obligation could result in losses to us, and therefore, we established an allowance for credit risk based on historical analysis of credit losses for highly rated companies in the insurance industry. In formulating our reinsurance programs, we are selective in our choice of reinsurers and we consider numerous factors, the most important of which are the financial stability of the reinsurer, its history of responding to claims and its overall reputation. In an effort to minimize our exposure to the insolvency of our reinsurers, we review the financial condition of each reinsurer annually. In addition, we continually monitor for rating downgrades involving any of our reinsurers. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, all reinsurance contracts that our insurance subsidiary was a party to were with companies with A.M. Best ratings of "A" (Excellent) or better. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we recorded an allowance for doubtful ~~accounts~~accounts of ~~$0.3~~$0.4 million ~~related~~related to our reinsurance balances.

Ratings

Kinsale Insurance Company has a financial strength rating of "A" (Excellent) with a stable outlook from A.M. Best. A.M. Best assigns ratings to insurance companies, which currently range from "A++" (Superior) to "F" (In Liquidation). "A" (Excellent) is the third highest rating issued by A.M. Best. The "A" (Excellent) rating is assigned to insurers that have, in A.M. Best's opinion, an excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders. This rating is intended to provide an independent opinion of an insurer's ability to meet its obligation to policyholders and is not an evaluation directed at investors.

The financial strength ratings assigned by A.M. Best have an impact on the ability of the insurance companies to attract and retain agents and brokers and on the risk profiles of the submissions for insurance that the insurance companies receive. The "A" (Excellent) rating obtained by Kinsale Insurance Company is consistent with our business plan and allows us to actively pursue relationships with the agents and brokers identified in our marketing plan.

Reconciliation of underwriting income

Underwriting income is defined as net income excluding net investment income, the net change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized investment gains, other income, other expenses and income tax expense. The Company uses underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of its operations because the Company believes it gives management and users of the Company's financial information useful insight into the Company's results of operations and underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.

Net income for ~~the~~ three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ reconciles to underwriting income as follows:

Reconciliation of net operating earnings

Net operating earnings is defined as net income excluding the effects of the net change in the fair value of equity securities, after taxes, and net realized investment gains and losses, ~~on investments,~~ after taxes. Management believes the exclusion of these items provides a more useful comparison of the Company's underlying business performance from period to period. Net operating earnings and percentages or calculations using net operating earnings (e.g., diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on equity) are non-GAAP financial measures. Net operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define net operating earnings differently.

Reconciliation of tangible stockholders' equity

Tangible stockholders’ equity is defined as total stockholders’ equity less intangible assets, net of deferred taxes. Our definition of tangible stockholders’ equity may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for stockholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible stockholders' equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure.

Critical ~~accounting estimates~~Accounting Estimates

We identified the accounting estimates which are critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those estimates that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to exercise significant judgment. We use significant judgment concerning future results and developments in applying these critical accounting estimates and in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. These judgments and estimates affect our reported

~~Table of Contents~~

amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of our material contingent assets and liabilities, if any. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates regularly using information that we believe to be relevant. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of economic losses due to adverse changes in the estimated fair value of a financial instrument as the result of changes in interest rates, equity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary market risks have been equity price risk associated with investments in equity securities and interest rate risk associated with investments in fixed maturities. We do not have any material exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity risk.

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.
