Financial performance
Annual revenue rose sharply compared to prior periods, while operating income turned positive. Net income also became positive, and operating cash flow showed a strong increase.
Material risks

What to watch
Monitor any changes in the company's reinsurance agreements, as amendments or non-renewals could affect capital efficiency and risk exposure.
