GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OXBR), (“Oxbridge Re” or the “Company”), which together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of tokenized Real-World Assets (“RWAs”), initially in the form of tokenized reinsurance securities, and reinsurance business solutions to property and casualty insurers in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, today reported its results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024.

“SurancePlus is entering its third year in the Real World Asset (RWA) space, leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize targeted reinsurance contracts. As a Nasdaq-listed company, Oxbridge Re, through its subsidiary SurancePlus Inc., became the first public company to issue a security token in reinsurance—bridging the gap between the SEC, blockchain, and tokenization. This innovation significantly lowers the barrier to entry for an asset class that traditionally required millions of dollars to access, enabling participation with as little as $5,000 while maintaining rigorous AML and accreditation checks—often completed in under four minutes,” said Jay Madhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Oxbridge Re. “We are proud of our success in this space and look forward to further expanding SurancePlus in the Security Token and RWA sector, effectively democratizing access to reinsurance while ensuring strict transparency and compliance. With the RWA tokenization market currently projected to reach as much as $30 trillion by 2030, SurancePlus is well positioned to capitalize on this substantial growth opportunity.”

Mr. Madhu continued “Subsequent to the year end, the Company completed a reverse direct offering raising gross proceeds of $3 million. These steps reflect our continued focus on strengthening the Company’s capital position while pursuing scalable growth opportunities in a rapidly evolving market. Looking ahead, we believe Oxbridge Re is well positioned to build on this momentum. Our subsidiary, SurancePlus Inc. has recently announced a strategic partnership with Plume, a blockchain platform supporting over $4.5 billion in assets and more than 18 million unique addresses. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in expanding distribution for our tokenized reinsurance offerings. As institutional and retail interest in real-world asset tokenization continues to accelerate, we remain focused on scaling our platform with discipline, transparency, and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, SurancePlus has launched its 2025–2026 tokenized reinsurance offerings, introducing a new balanced-yield security targeting a 20% annual return, while continuing its high-yield offering targeting a 42% annual return. By broadening our range of risk-return options, this year’s structure is designed to attract to a broader investor base, reinforcing our mission to make institutional-grade reinsurance accessible through compliant, blockchain-powered real-world assets.”

Financial Performance

Net premiums earned for the three months ended December 31, 2024, were $595,000 compared to $523,000 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net premiums earned increased to $2,303,000 from $1,255,000 in the prior year. This increase is primarily attributed to the higher rates on contracts as well as the prior period recognizing only seven months of premiums due to the acceleration of premiums on contracts in force during at December 31, 2022. In contrast, the current year ended December 31, 2024 accounted for a full twelve (12) months of premiums.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated net loss of $460,000 or $0.05 per basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $2.67 million or $0.46 per basic and diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.7 million or $0.45 per basic and diluted loss per share compared to net loss of $9.9 million or $1.69 per basic and diluted earnings per share in the prior year. The decline in Q4 and fiscal 2024 is primarily due to a decrease in the negative change in the fair value of our investment in Jet.AI (which was sold subsequent to the year-end) as well as the company accounting for non-controlling interests’ portion of its income.

Total expenses, including losses and loss adjustment expenses, policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, were $497,000 and $2.1 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to $535,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in 2024 is due to expense fluctuations along with efficiencies associated with SurancePlus offerings being recognized during the year, in addition to previous recognition of costs associated with Maxim equity distribution agreement in 2023.

At December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents were $5.8 million compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2023.The increase is primarily due to new collateral deposits for treaty year ending May 31, 2025 more than offsetting funds being released from the underlying trusts for treaty year ending May 31, 2024.

Subsequent to year end, the Company completed a reverse direct offering raising gross proceeds of $3 million.

Financial Ratios

Loss Ratio. The loss ratio, which measures underwriting profitability, is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to net premiums earned. The loss ratio remained consistent at 0% for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Acquisition Cost Ratio. The acquisition cost ratio, which measures operational efficiency, compares policy acquisition costs with net premiums earned, decreased marginally to 11.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024 from 11.2% in the prior year.

Expense Ratio. The expense ratio, which measures operating performance, compares policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses with net premiums earned. The expense ratio decreased to 94.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from 185.2% for the prior year due to lower general and administrative expenses in 2024. The decrease is due to the higher levels of premium earned and lower general administrative expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Combined ratio. The combined ratio, which is used to measure underwriting performance, is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. The combined ratio decreased to 94.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from 185.2% for the prior year.
