Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: Thank you, Rendon, and welcome, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Let me start by saying we’re proud of the strong performance of business and progress we’ve been making executing on our long-term strategy. At our core, we are a disciplined reinsurance business, writing fully collateralized policies covering property catastrophe risk. We compete through selective data-driven underwriting with a focus on generating attractive risk-adjusted returns and long-term growth in book value per share. Our strategy centers on low frequency, high severity risks, where sufficient data exists to rigorously evaluate the return profile. We emphasize disciplined risk selection, appropriate pricing, and thoughtful structuring, supported by full equal collateralization to ensure transparency and alignment. At the same time, we continue advancing SurancePlus and our broader real-world asset initiatives, expanding access to tokenized reinsurance opportunities through strategic ecosystems relationships involving Solana, Alphaledger, and LayerZero.

As we approach May 31, 2026 conclusion of the current contract season, our existing tokenized reinsurance offerings remain unaffected, with a Balanced-Yield token currently tracking 25% ahead of its original 20% targeted return, while the High-Yield token remains on track towards its 42% targeted return. We believe this combination of underwriting discipline, platform development, and expanding ecosystem relationships positions Oxbridge Re well as we continue executing on opportunities within the growing real-world asset market. I will now turn the call over to Rendon to take us through our financial results. Rendon.

Wrendon Timothy, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, Oxbridge Re: Thank you, Jay. I would like to remind you that our typical contract period is from June 1 to May 31st of the following year. Net premiums earned for the three months ending March 31, 2026 decreased to $555,000 from $595,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The decrease is due to a lower weighted average rate on reinsurance contracts enforced during the quarter ending March 31, 2026 when compared with the prior period. Our net investment income and other income for the three months ending March 31, 2026 decreased to $68,000 from $79,000 from prior comparable period. Along with net premiums, our total revenue amounted to $623,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2026 compared to $692,000 in the prior year comparable period.

For the 3 months ending March 31, 2026, those expenses included policy acquisition costs and general admin expenses increased to $583,000 from $570,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to professional costs, investor relations, and our work through subsidiary marketing. Net income for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, was $22,000 or $0 basic undiluted income per share, compared to a net loss of $139,000 or $0.02 basic undiluted loss per share for the prior quarter.

The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a decreased allocation of underwriting income to token holders as the company itself is the major contributor in the 2025, 2026 treaty contracts in place, coupled with a decrease in unrealized loss on other investments during the quarter ending March 31, 2026 when compared with the prior period. As we have discussed before on our investor calls, we use various measures to analyze the growth and profitability of our business operations. For our reinsurance business, we measure underwriting profitability by examining our loss ratio, acquisition ratio, expense ratio, and combined ratio. The loss ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to premiums earned, and it measures the underwriting profitability of our reinsurance business.

The loss ratio remained consistent at 0% for the 3 months ending March 31, 2026 when compared with the prior-year comparative period. Our acquisition cost ratio, which measures operational efficiency, compares policy acquisition costs and net premiums earned. The acquisition cost ratio increased marginally to 11% for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, up from 10.9% for the prior-year quarter. Our expense ratio, which measures operating performance, compares policy acquisition costs and general and admin expenses with net premiums earned. For the 3-month period ending March 31, 2026, the expense ratio increased to $105,000 from $95.8 thousand for the 3 months ending March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to increased professional costs, investor relations, and our Web3 marketing and operations.

Our combined ratio, which is used to measure underwriting performance, is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. For the three months ending March 31, 2026, the combined ratio increased to 105.0% from 95.8% for the three months ending March 31, 2025. The increase again is primarily due to increased professional costs relating to investor relations and our Web3 subsidiary marketing and operations. Turning to the balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.21 million to $8.19 million, up from $6.98 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase is a net result of premium deposits made during the three-month period ending March 31, 2026, as well as $1 million proceeds from a short-term loan that was secured.

I’ll now turn the call back over to Jay to wrap up before we take your questions. Jay?

Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: Thank you, Wrendon. We are encouraged by the strong performance of our 2025, 2026 tokenized reinsurance contracts. As we approach the conclusion of the current contract season, our existing offerings remain unaffected, with the Balanced-Yield token currently tracking 25% ahead of its original 20% targeted return, while the High-Yield token remains on track towards its 42% targeted return. These results reflect our disciplined underwriting approach and further demonstrate the ability of tokenized reinsurance structures to provide differentiated, uncorrelated returns with the approximately $750 billion global reinsurance market. We have also continued advancing the reach and visibility of the SurancePlus platform through strategic relations involving Solana, Alphaledger, and LayerZero, supporting expanded interoperability and ecosystem access across more than 160 blockchain networks.

We believe these relationships position SurancePlus within a growing ecosystem for real-world asset adoption. As we look ahead to the 2026, 2027 underwriting cycle, we are preparing our T20 and T42 offerings, targeting annual returns of 20% and 42% respectively. Recent forecasts from the Colorado State University indicate the potential for a more constructive hurricane environment relative to recent years, supported in part by anticipated El Niño conditions. In parallel, we are making meaningful progress in advancing opportunities to broaden the SurancePlus model into additional high-quality cash-generating asset categories, including initiatives involving tokenized data center revenue streams and infrastructure aligned with the continued growth of artificial intelligence. As of March 31, 2026, the company reported $8.19 million in cash and restricted cash, supporting our ongoing strategic initiatives and long-term growth opportunities.

Overall, we remain focused on disciplined execution, expanding ecosystem relationships, and scaling our business through our growing real-world asset initiatives as we continue building long-term shareholder value. With that, we are ready to open the call for questions. Operator, please provide the appropriate instructions.

Danae, Conference Operator, Oxbridge Re: Thank you, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. For those on the conference, if you would like to ask a question, please press star and then one now. If you would like to remove yourself from the question queue, please press star and then two. Again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star and then one now. We’ll pause a moment while the question queue builds. The first question we have comes from Kent Engelke of Capitol Securities. Please go ahead.

Kent Engelke, Analyst, Capitol Securities: Hey, Jay. Hey, Wrendon. again, I’m very interested in the comments that you’re making about using tokenized data center for revenue streams and like, and just the infrastructure growth within AI and stuff like that. Larry Fink the other day, I think, predicted that there’s gonna be a massive futures market for computing power using tokenized assets and the like. can you give a little bit more color on that really, I think, really cool part of your organization?

Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: Yeah. Thank you, Kent. We’ve been tokenizing reinsurance contracts, right? Reinsurance is a significantly large TAM market. The AI data center space over here could probably dwarf that significantly as well. Since we’ve been tokenizing reinsurance, we’ve made great strides over there. And we could potentially tokenize other opportunities as well. While it’s a little early for us to talk about that just yet, but in the past, people had asked us, you know, when would you probably consider tokenizing other items, right? I think the timing is right. As you just mentioned, you know, not only Larry Fink, but various other folks have talked about tokenization. We seem to be doing this under the four corners of the SEC.

I believe we have an amazing opportunity ahead of us, and we definitely plan on seizing that.

Kent Engelke, Analyst, Capitol Securities: Cool. Hey, it is an exciting new industry on so many different levels, competing with some very, you know, deep-pocketed people that see something as similar as you do and, you know, obviously hoping that Oxbridge is gonna be at the forefront of all this.

Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: Yes, absolutely.

Danae, Conference Operator, Oxbridge Re: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, just a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star and then one now. We’ll pause a moment to see if we have any further questions. We have a question from Duane Roberts of Charis Industries. Please go ahead.

Duane Roberts, Analyst, Charis Industries: Hi, gentlemen. Hope you guys are doing well. When you’re saying that you’re looking to tokenize, maybe I didn’t hear it right. You’re looking to tokenize other assets, is that correct? Besides insurance, reinsurance?

Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: Yes. Potentially, yes. I, unfortunately, Duane, can’t speak in detail about that. It’s opportunities we’re still evaluating. As I just mentioned, if we’re able to tokenize an elusive asset such as reinsurance, it gives us, it gives us. We feel well about, you know, the potential of SurancePlus going forward with other assets.

Duane Roberts, Analyst, Charis Industries: Okay. You may not be able to comment on this either. How hard is that, like, the process? The one thing that you mentioned earlier with the other, with the other caller was that you were under the SEC, which is, I would assume, is significant. How, when you’re looking at other potential assets, back office part, all of the software, all of that, how hard is it?

Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: Yeah, it’s extremely hard, right? If it wasn’t hard, other people would be doing it. Because the barrier to entry is also high, it’s an opportunity that Oxbridge can take advantage of it.

Duane Roberts, Analyst, Charis Industries: Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you.

Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: All right. Thank you, Duane.

Danae, Conference Operator, Oxbridge Re: Thank you. Just a final reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star and then 1 now. At this stage, there seems to be no further questions on the conference. I will now hand back to Jay Madhu for closing remarks. Please go ahead, sir.

Jay Madhu, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Oxbridge Re: Thank you for joining us on today’s call. Before we conclude, I would like to extend my gratitude to our employees, business partners, and investors for their unwavering support. I particularly want to acknowledge our dedicated Oxbridge team, whose extensive experience has been instrumental in navigating and advancing our business amidst these challenging circumstances. We anticipate providing you with future updates on our progress during our next call, and should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us any time. Once again, thank you for your time and attention today, and for your ongoing interest in Oxbridge. Operator.

Danae, Conference Operator, Oxbridge Re: Thank you, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today’s conference. Thank you for joining us. You may now disconnect your lines.
