Since then, premium growth has sustained across all our distribution channels through a combination of rate increases and increased production. Throughout, our loss ratio has remained within our expectations, as has our expense ratio, which was favorably impacted by the sale of our insurance agency operations in December 2023. Investment income has also grown to become a more significant component of our net income. Going forward, I remain confident that our Company is well positioned to continue this profitable success ".
