P R O C S G N I D L O H E C N A R U S N I D E T I N U 2 0 2 2 A N N U A L R E P O R T A L ETTE R TO SHAREHOLDERS UIHC experienced tremendous adversity and change in 2022 along with a stark reminder that the property insurance market is hard, both literally and figuratively. Our commercial lines segment continued to gain strength and underwriting profit momentum by earning over $79 million before income taxes excluding Hurricane Ian. Hurricane Ian was a devastating storm that reached category five status before weaking slightly and hitting a densely populated area of Southwest Florida as a category four hurricane. Our team worked extremely hard to service policyholders under incredibly challenging circumstances and I am grateful for their dedication and commitment. There is always opportunity for improvement in underwriting and service delivery, so we will strive to learn, apply new insights gained, and be intentional about getting better over time. Our commercial lines business underwritten by American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC) demonstrated its resilience by posting an underwriting profit for the 16th consecutive year since its formation in 2007 despite incurring a significant loss from Hurricane Ian. Unfortunately, our personal lines business underwritten by United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPC) had without question the most difficult year in our Company’s history. Poor underwriting results during the first half of 2022 driven by UPC’s catastrophe losses and adverse reserve development prompted UIHC to complete a reorganization that reallocated capital and streamlined operations by combining our five property & casualty insurance carriers into three. An extremely challenging catastrophe reinsurance renewal effective June 1, 2022, followed by the loss of UPC’s financial stability rating in July 2022 resulted in a decision to announce exiting UPC’s personal lines business in August 2022. Regulators approved UPC’s withdrawal plans setting the stage for a viable run-off of personal lines that we expected to complete by the end of 2023 with capital remaining that could be reallocated to commercial lines. When Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 27, 2022, the wide range of initial model loss estimates created new uncertainty regarding the viability of our run-off plan. UPC subsequently worked closely with its regulators to assess the storm’s impact, reforecast its financial position, and contribute additional capital to improve UPC’s solvency. In December 2022, UPC was issued a consent order from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation that found that UPC’s amended run-off plan was viable under certain assumptions deemed fair and reasonable. However, a loss reserve analysis completed in January 2023 by the Company’s independent actuarial firm concluded ultimate gross losses from Hurricane Ian should increase from our initial estimate of $1 billion to approximately $1.54 billion. Given the decision to strengthen loss reserves related to Hurricane Ian as of December 31, 2022, we concluded that UPC was insolvent and consented to referral to receivership. On February 27, 2023, UPC was ordered into receivership with the Florida Department of Financial Services effectively ending our control of this former subsidiary. While this was not the result anyone wanted it did have the effect of accelerating the personal lines run-off plan already in motion. However, it also raises significant uncertainty regarding the allocation and collectability of reinsurance coverage shared between UPC and ACIC and whether we will be successful in securing reinsurance protection effective June 1, 2023, for the upcoming hurricane season. UIHC has an extraordinarily successful business in ACIC along with Interboro Insurance Company (IIC), which underwrites personal lines business in New York. The Company previously announced plans to explore strategic options for IIC and our intent is to divest IIC at the right time and valuation to improve UIHC’s liquidity and complete our exit from the personal lines business. Our team is working diligently to protect ACIC and IIC from the risks and uncertainty stemming from UPC’s receivership. We are doing everything in our power to prevent potential collateral damage to UIHC and its affiliates. Our job is to earn an underwriting profit and that continues to be our top priority. ACIC remains extremely well positioned with its #1 market share of the Florida condominium association admitted marketplace to deliver significant improvement to UIHC’s financial results in 2023 and beyond. This is especially true compared to the past several years that included significant losses from the personal segment that are unlikely to recur given the de- consolidation of UPC in the first quarter of 2023.

PART I Item 1. Business INTRODUCTION Company Overview United Insurance Holdings Corp. (referred to in this Form 10-K as we, our, us, the Company or UPC Insurance) is a holding company engaged in the personal residential and commercial residential property and casualty insurance business in the United States. At the end of 2022, our insurance subsidiaries included two Florida domiciled carriers, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPC) and American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC), plus one New York domiciled carrier, Interboro Insurance Company (IIC). At the beginning of 2022, we had two other Florida domiciled insurance subsidiaries, Family Security Insurance Company, which was merged into UPC and Journey Insurance Company, which was merged into ACIC. Our insurance subsidiaries provide personal residential and commercial property and casualty insurance products that protect our policyholders against losses due to damages to structures and their contents. Some of our insurance subsidiaries sell policies that protect against liability for accidents as well as property damage. Our non-insurance subsidiaries support our insurance and investment operations. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 52.5% of our policies in-force were written in Florida. Our Company’s other primary source of revenue is generated from writing insurance in New York, Louisiana and Texas. Our commercial lines business in-force underwritten by ACIC was 100% in Florida at the end of 2022. During 2022, the Company made the strategic decision to exit the personal lines business underwritten by UPC and accelerated the winding down of its affairs. Effective December 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of North Carolina, where renewal rights have been sold and all premiums and losses are ceded. Effective October 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of Georgia. Effective June 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of South Carolina. Effective April 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of Massachusetts, and effective January 15, 2022, we no longer write in the state of New Jersey. Effective January 1, 2021, we no longer write in the state of Hawaii. Effective December 1, 2021, we no longer write in the states of Connecticut or Rhode Island. On August 25, 2022, we announced that UPC had filed plans for withdrawal in the states of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas and intended to file a plan for withdrawal in the state of New York. All filed plans entail non-renewing personal lines policies in these states. Additionally, we announced that Demotech, Inc., an insurance rating agency, notified UPC of its intent to withdraw UPC’s Financial Stability Rating. On December 5, 2022, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) issued Consent Order No. 303643-22- CO that provides for the administrative supervision and approval of the plan of run-off for UPC (the “Consent Order”). The Consent Order provides formal approval of UPC’s Plan of Run-Off (the “Plan”) to facilitate a solvent wind down of its affairs in an orderly fashion. Additionally, in connection with the Plan, IIC has agreed to not pay ordinary dividends without the prior approval of the New York Department of Financial Services until January 1, 2025. On February 10, 2023, we announced that a solvent run-off for UPC was unlikely and on February 27, 2023, UPC was placed into receivership with the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) which divested our ownership of UPC. Our Company, together with wholly-owned subsidiaries UPC and United Insurance Management L.C. (UIM), entered into a Renewal Rights Agreement (Southeast Renewal Agreement), dated as of December 30, 2021 with Homeowners Choice Property and Casualty, Inc. (HCPCI), pursuant to which our Company, UPC and UIM agreed to sell, and HCPCI agreed to purchase, the renewal rights to UPC’s personal lines homeowners business in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The transfer of policies was subject to regulatory approval. Effective June 1, 2022, we began transitioning South Carolina policies to HCPCI. The sale was consummated on December 30, 2021. 5 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Effective June 1, 2022, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with TypTap Insurance Company (Typtap) in connection with the Southeast Renewal Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, we cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This agreement replaces the 85% quota share agreement with HCPCI effective December 31, 2021. Also effective June 1, our third-party quota share reinsurance agreements were renewed to exclude these states. We will no longer retain any risk associated with these states. Our Company, together with wholly-owned subsidiaries UPC and UIM, entered into a Renewal Rights Agreement (Northeast Renewal Agreement), dated as of January 18, 2021 with HCPCI and HCI Group, Inc. (HCI), pursuant to which our Company, UPC and UIM agreed to sell, and HCPCI agreed to purchase, the renewal rights to UPC’s personal lines homeowners business in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The transfer of all states was completed as of June 30, 2022. Effective June 1, 2021, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI and TypTap Insurance Company (TypTap) in connection with the Northeast Renewal Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, we cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The cession of these policies is 50% to HCPCI and 50% to TypTap. We have historically grown our business through organic growth, complemented by strategic acquisitions and partnerships, including our acquisitions of AmCo Holding Company, LLC (AmCo) and its subsidiaries, including ACIC, in April 2017, IIC in April 2016, and Family Security Holdings, LLC (FSH), including its subsidiary Family Security Insurance Company, Inc. (FSIC), in February 2015, and our strategic partnership with a subsidiary of Tokio Marine Kiln Group Limited (Tokio Marine), which formed Journey Insurance Company (JIC) in August 2018. Effective June 1, 2022, we acquired all of the minority interest in JIC from Tokio Marine and then merged JIC into ACIC, with ACIC being the surviving entity. Effective May 31, 2022, we merged FSIC into UPC, with UPC being the surviving entity. Financial strength or stability ratings are important to insurance companies in establishing their competitive position and may impact an insurance company’s ability to write policies. We are rated by Demotech and Kroll Bond Rating Agency (Kroll). Demotech maintains a letter-scale financial stability rating system ranging from A’’ (A double prime) to L (licensed by insurance regulatory authorities). Kroll maintains a letter-scale financial strength rating system for insurance companies ranging from AAA (extremely strong operations and no risk) to R (operating under regulatory supervision). The financial strength or stability ratings of our insurance company subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 are listed below. As of December 31, 2022, our insurance subsidiary, UPC is no longer rated by Kroll or Demotech. With these ratings, we expect our property insurance policies will be acceptable to the secondary mortgage marketplace and mortgage lenders.

A A A- A- BB+ Impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and Financial Status We are committed to maintaining a stable and secure business for our employees, agents, customers and stockholders. During the second half of 2020, we were able to resume hiring activities, despite the limits on in-person interviews and on-boarding procedures resulting from COVID-related protocols. In addition, we have converted to virtual sales processes to enable our agents to continue their activities, and launched a virtual inspection software for policyholders and claimants to use to provide us with information related to the risk or 6 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. claim. We believe these activities, collectively, help ensure the health and safety of our employees through adherence to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and local government work guidelines. We have not experienced a material impact from COVID-19 on our business operations, financial position, liquidity or our ability to service our policyholders to date, with the exceptions of fluctuations in our investment portfolios due to volatility of the equity securities markets, as further described in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-K. We reduced the size of the equity securities portfolio during the second half of 2020, which has reduced the impact of fluctuations in the markets on our financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions did not have a material impact on our access to credit and capital markets needed to maintain sufficient liquidity for our continued operating needs during the year ended December 31, 2022. We did not incur material claims or significant disruptions to our business for the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of COVID-19. We will continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and take reasonable measures to make sure customers continue to be served without interruption. Our Strategy Our vision is to be a top-quartile underwriter of catastrophe exposed property insurance. Our plan is to focus primarily on low-rise commercial property insurance in Florida, through our exclusive managing general agency agreement and long-term partnership with AmRisc, LLC. The Company’s continuous portfolio optimization process strives to balance our risk appetite and underwriting profit opportunities with our available capital and reinsurance capacity to achieve consistent and sustainable underwriting profitability for the Company and its reinsurers over time. We desire to have the right combination of price, underwriting rules and coverages to earn a return on capital that exceeds our cost of capital throughout the insurance market cycle. The Company also seeks to have risks maintain an appropriate insurance to value through annual re-underwriting and inspection of each property to ensure it meets or exceeds our underwriting guidelines with verified data quality and integrity regarding the key risk characteristics of our covered properties. With UPC in receivership, the Company’s personal lines business is limited to IIC in New York. As a result of our desire to focus on commercial lines, we expect to divest of IIC leaving us with just ACIC at some point in the future. The Company continues to explore all strategic options for IIC, but remain focused on selling IIC to a third-party. Our commercial lines portfolio is concentrated in Florida and personal lines portfolio in New York (excluding UPC) with an ongoing threat of natural catastrophes which exposes our company to risk and volatility. PRODUCTS AND DISTRIBUTION In July of 2020, we implemented a strategy to de-risk the Company by reducing premiums and exposure from our personal lines segment that was offset with growth in our commercial lines segment . The graphs below show our product mix distribution based on gross written premium. 7 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. 2022 Product Mix Personal Residential: 53.1% Commercial Residential: 45.2% Flood: 1.7% 2021 Product Mix Personal Residential: 66.5% 2020 Product Mix Personal Residential: 71.0% Commercial Residential: 31.8% Flood: 1.7% Commercial Residential: 27.0% Flood: 2.0% Personal Residential Products Policies we issue under our homeowners’ program provide structure, content and liability coverage for standard single-family homeowners, renters and condominium unit owners. Personal residential products are offered in all states in which we write business. We include coverage to policyholders for loss or damage to dwellings, detached structures or equipment caused by covered causes of loss such as fire, wind, hail, water, theft and vandalism. In 2022, personal residential property policies (by which we mean both standard homeowners’, dwelling fire, renters and condo owners’ policies) produced written premium of $596,374,000 and accounted for 53.1% of our total gross written premium. Approximately 37.8% of the personal residential gross written premium was written outside of Florida. Loss and loss adjustment expenses related to our personal residential products tend to be higher during periods of severe or inclement weather, which varies from state to state. With UPC in receivership, the Company’s personal lines business is limited to IIC in New York. We are actively working to divest of IIC and its exposure to complete our exit from personal lines. 8 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Commercial Residential Products We primarily provide commercial multi-peril property insurance for residential condominium associations and apartments in Florida. In 2020, we began writing commercial policies in Texas and South Carolina. Effective May 31, 2022, we no longer write commercial policies in Texas and South Carolina. We include coverage to policyholders for loss or damage to buildings, inventory or equipment caused by covered causes of loss such as fire, wind, hail, water, theft and vandalism. In 2022, commercial policies produced written premium of $508,243,000 and accounted for 45.2% of our total gross written premium. Not-At-Risk Offerings On our equipment breakdown, identity theft, cyber security, and flood policies (excluding our inland flood policies) we earn a commission while retaining no risk of loss, since all such risk is ceded to the federal government via the National Flood Insurance Program (flood risk) and other private companies (other risks). We offer flood policies in all states in which we write business. Flood policies produced written premium of $19,446,000 and accounted for 1.7% of our total gross written premium at December 31, 2022. On June 9, 2022, we entered into a renewal rights agreement with Wright National Flood Insurance Company to sell our entire NFIP Write Your Own flood insurance business. Other Offerings In addition to our personal and commercial residential products, in December 2019, we began offering Inland Flood insurance. These products did not comprise a material portion of our written business at December 31, 2022. Underwriting We price our products at levels that we project will generate an acceptable underwriting profit. We aim to accurately reflect the risk and profitability of each potential policy. The Company uses pricing algorithms, judgement-based rating and consent to rate methodologies that consider insurance credit scores (where allowable) and historical attritional loss costs for the rating territory in which the risk resides, as well as projected reinsurance costs based on the specific geographic and structural characteristics of the property. We seek to optimize our portfolio by managing our probable maximum loss, total insured value and average annual loss. As part of this optimization process, we use the output from third-party modeling software to analyze our risk exposures, including wind exposures, by zip code or street address. We measure our underwriting profitability by the combined ratio, which is a sum of the ratios of losses, loss adjustment expenses, and underwriting expenses to either gross or net earned premiums. A combined ratio under 100% indicates an underwriting profit. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7 of this report for further details on our combined ratio. Distribution Channels Our commercial lines policies are marketed and distributed to condominium associations by AmRisc, LLC through a network of independent agencies managed by AmRisc, LLC that specialize in commercial residential insurance. AmRisc, LLC is an unaffiliated third-party owned by Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE: TFC) and represents 100% of our commercial lines revenue based on our exclusive agreement in Florida. 9 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. As of December 31, 2022, we marketed and distributed our personal lines policies to consumers through approximately 3,500 independent agencies, with only one agency, Allstate, through their Ivantage program, representing more than 10% of our personal lines revenue. The Company focused on the independent agency distribution channel since its inception, and we believe independent agents and agencies build relationships in their communities that can lead to profitable business and policyholder satisfaction. We believe we have built significant credibility and loyalty with the independent agent communities in the states in which we operate through (i) our extensive training for full-service insurance agencies that distribute our products and (ii) periodic business reviews using established benchmarks and goals for premium volume and profitability. Typically, a full-service agency is small to medium in size and represents several insurance companies for both personal and commercial product lines. We depend on our independent agents to produce new business for us. We compensate our independent agents primarily with fixed-rate commissions that we believe are consistent with those generally prevailing in the market.

Our primary competitors range from large national property and casualty insurance companies that write most classes of business using traditional products and pricing to small and mid-size regional insurance companies who provide specialty coverages. We compete primarily on the basis of product features, the strength of our distribution network, the quality of our services to our agents and policyholders, and our long-term financial stability. Our long and successful track record writing homeowners’ insurance in catastrophe-exposed areas has enabled us to develop sophisticated pricing techniques that endeavor to accurately reflect the risk of loss while allowing us to be competitive in our target markets. This pricing segmentation approach allows us to offer products in areas that have a high demand for property insurance yet are under-served by the national carriers. However, we face the risk that policyholders may be able to obtain more favorable terms from competitors rather than renewing coverage with us. Our ability to compete is dependent on a number of factors. One factor is the financial strength or stability ratings assigned to our insurance subsidiaries by independent rating agencies. A downgrade in these ratings could negatively impact our position in the market. Another, is that we must attract and retain key employees and highly skilled people in order to be successful in the market. There is intense competition in our industry which could lead to higher than expected employee turnover or difficulty attracting new employees. Finally, technological advancements and innovation in the insurance industry provide opportunities for a competitive advantage. Advancements and innovation are being used in all aspects of the industry including digital-based distribution methods, underwriting and claims handling. We continue to leverage the technology that we have and have made substantial investments into new technology in an effort to gain an advantage over our competitors. REGULATION We are subject to extensive regulation in the jurisdictions in which our insurance company subsidiaries are domiciled and licensed to transact business, primarily at the state level. UPC and ACIC are domiciled in Florida, and IIC is domiciled in New York. UPC Insurance is also regulated by the NAIC. In general, these regulations are designed to protect the interests of insurance policyholders. Such regulations have a substantial effect on certain areas of our business, including: • insurer solvency, 12 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. reserve adequacy, insurance company licensing and examination, agent and adjuster licensing, rate setting, investments, assessments or other surcharges for guaranty funds, transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends, reinsurance, protection of personally identifiable information, risk solvency assessment and enterprise risk management, cybersecurity, statutory accounting methods, and numerous requirements relating to other areas of insurance operations, including policy forms, underwriting standards and claims practices. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Our insurance subsidiaries provide audited statutory financial statements to the various insurance regulatory authorities. With regard to periodic examinations of an insurance company’s affairs, insurance regulatory authorities, in general, defer to the insurance regulatory authority in the state in which an insurer is domiciled; however, insurance regulatory authorities from any state in which we operate may conduct examinations at their discretion. In 2021, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (FLOIR) began a statutory examination of JIC for the year ended December 31, 2020. This examination concluded in 2022, with no significant findings. Effective January 1, 2019, three of our insurance subsidiaries, UPC, FSIC and ACIC, entered into an intercompany property and casualty reinsurance pooling arrangement. Pooling arrangements permit the participating companies to rely on the capacity of the entire pool’s statutory capital and surplus rather than just on their own statutory capital and surplus. Under such arrangements, the participating companies share substantially all insurance business that is written and allocate the combined premiums, losses and expenses. Effective January 1, 2022, this arrangement was terminated. For a discussion of statutory financial information and regulatory contingencies, see Note 15 to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. Risk-Based Capital Requirements To enhance the regulation of insurer solvency, the NAIC has published risk-based capital (RBC) guidelines for insurance companies designed to assess capital adequacy and to raise the level of protection statutory surplus provides for policyholders. The guidelines measure three major areas of risk facing property and casualty insurers: (i) underwriting risks, which encompass the risk of adverse loss developments and inadequate pricing; (ii) declines in asset values arising from credit risk; and (iii) other business risks. Most states, including Florida and New York, have enacted the NAIC guidelines as statutory requirements, and insurers having less statutory surplus than required will be subject to varying degrees of regulatory action, depending on the level of capital inadequacy. 13 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. The level of required risk-based capital is calculated and reported annually. The table below outlines each of our subsidiary’s RBC ratios, all of which were in excess of minimum requirements, as of December 31, 2022.

Underwriting and Marketing Restrictions During the past several years, various regulatory and legislative bodies have adopted or proposed new laws or regulations to address the cyclical nature of the insurance industry, catastrophic events and insurance capacity and pricing. These regulations: (i) created “market assistance plans” under which insurers are induced to provide certain coverage; (ii) restrict the ability of insurers to reject insurance coverage applications, to rescind or otherwise cancel certain policies in mid-term, and to terminate agents; (iii) restrict certain policy non-renewals and require advance notice on certain policy non-renewals; and (iv) limit rate increases or decrease rates permitted to be charged. Most states also have insurance laws requiring that rate schedules and other information be filed with the insurance regulatory authority, either directly or through a rating organization with which the insurer is affiliated. The insurance regulatory authority may disapprove a rate filing if it finds that the rates are inadequate, excessive or unfairly discriminatory. Most states require licensure or insurance regulatory authority approval prior to the marketing of new insurance products. Typically, licensure review is comprehensive and includes a review of a company’s business plan, solvency, reinsurance, rates, forms and other financial and non-financial aspects of a company, such as the character of its officers and directors. The insurance regulatory authorities may prohibit entry into a new market by not granting a license or by withholding approval. Limitations on Dividends by Insurance Subsidiaries As a holding company with no significant business operations of our own, we rely on payments from our insurance subsidiaries as one of the principal sources of cash to pay dividends and meet our obligations. Our insurance affiliates are regulated as property and casualty insurance companies and their ability to pay dividends is restricted by Florida and New York law. The state laws of Florida and New York permit an insurer to pay dividends or make distributions out of that part of statutory surplus derived from net operating profit and net realized capital gains or adjusted net investment income. The state laws further provide calculations to determine the amount of dividends or distributions that can be made without the prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities and the amount of dividends or distributions that would require prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities in those states. Statutory risk-based capital requirements may further restrict our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make distributions if the amount of the intended dividend or distribution would cause statutory surplus to fall below minimum risk-based capital requirements. For additional information regarding those restrictions, see Part II, Item 5 and Part I, Item 1A of this report. 14 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Insurance Holding Company Regulation As a holding company of insurance subsidiaries, we are subject to laws governing insurance holding companies in Florida and New York. These laws, among other things: (i) require us to file periodic information with the insurance regulatory authority, including information concerning our capital structure, ownership, financial condition and general business operations; (ii) regulate certain transactions between our affiliates and us, including the amount of dividends and other distributions and the terms of surplus notes: and (iii) restrict the ability of any one person to acquire certain levels of our voting securities without prior regulatory approval. Any purchaser of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock could be presumed to have acquired control of us unless the insurance regulatory authority, upon application, determines otherwise. Insurance holding company regulations also govern the amount any affiliate of the holding company may charge our insurance affiliates for services (i.e., management fees and commissions). We have a long-term management agreement among our managing company, UIM, and UPC which presently provides for monthly management fees. The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation must approve any changes to this agreement. We also have an agreement among our claims adjusting company, Skyway Claims Services, LLC, UPC and ACIC which presently provides for monthly claims adjusting fees. AmRisc, a managing general underwriter, handles the underwriting, claims processing and premium collection for our ACIC commercial business written in Florida. In return, AmRisc is reimbursed through monthly management fees. The Company does not utilize a managing general agent structure in New York. Instead, UPC Insurance allocates a portion of relevant expenses to IIC for statutory accounting purposes at cost. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY As a company with more than 20 years of history and experience, we strive to create and maintain a culture within our business where people are empowered to address risks as they emerge, and where we expect all associates to hold themselves and their teammates accountable for personal integrity and professionalism. To demonstrate this culture our leaders must lead by example and clear standards of behavior should be well understood by the entire company. We maintain six core values; teamwork, trust, accountability, integrity, bias to action, and persistence, to accomplish this goal. In addition to our cultural goals, we are committed to conducting business in a manner that supports environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters. UPC Insurance believes that an effective ESG strategy leads to improved decision making, associate engagement, and financial results over time. To show our commitment to conducting business that supports ESG matters, in the second quarter of 2021 we published our inaugural Sustainability & Responsibility report, which outlines our ESG practices and goals. Highlights from the report can be seen below, and the full report is available on our company website under Environmental, Social and Governance. Environmental Matters As a data driven organization some of the facts surrounding climate change have our attention. Several factors, including the rise in carbon dioxide concentration levels in the atmosphere, higher global mean air and water temperatures, and sea and Arctic ice levels have been identified as potential culprits of the higher frequency and severity of catastrophe losses we have incurred over the past five years. 15 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. While the effect of climate change on weather-related catastrophe events remains somewhat limited, we recognize current trends and potential financial impact are not sustainable. As a result, we have taken the following steps to improve our environmental footprint and reduce our contribution to climate change: • Reducing waste: paperless policy document delivery option and investment in paperless technologies; • Eco-friendly disposal of retired equipment and electronics; • Installed filtered water dispensers to promote re-usable bottles over disposables; • Utilization of recycling bins throughout our offices; • Implemented a remote work environment to both enhance productivity and curb the impact of daily commuting; and • Use of energy efficient LED lighting, motion-activated lighting, and programmable thermostats to reduce energy use. In addition to the steps outlined above, we have committed to increase our capital allocated toward ESG investment vehicles and opportunities. As of December 31, 2022, we have invested $3,280,000 in a BlackRock ESG exchange-traded fund. UPC Insurance continuously monitors our environmental footprint and will continue to make steps to reduce this footprint where possible. We have committed to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in our operations and through our value chain by no later than 2030. Social Responsibility We understand that research shows diverse teams perform better, innovate more, and are more effective at managing risks. As a result, our organization has a vested interest in hiring associates and building teams that reflect the diversity of society and the communities that we seek to serve. Details of our accomplishments creating a diverse and inclusive workplace can be seen in Part I, Item 1., “Human Capital Management”. In addition to our social responsibility as an employer within the community, UPC Insurance also seeks to support our community through various initiatives intended to give back and promote goodwill. Over the past several years we have provided support to numerous non-for-profit organizations. Some of the causes we have provided support to include, but are not limited to, youth education, work force development, medical care and research, domestic violence shelters and prevention, and child-care services. We are committed to giving back and investing in the communities we serve. Governance Matters Our Board of Directors oversee and monitor our management in the interest and for the benefit of our stockholders. Our Board is currently comprised of nine directors, divided into two classes. Each class of directors is elected for a two-year term, in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation. Eight of our Directors, or 88.9%, are considered to be independent. Our Board of Directors has several committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation and Benefits Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and an Investment Committee. All members of these committees qualify as independent directors under SEC and Nasdaq standards as well as under the independence standards specific to their committees. UPC Insurance has also committed to adding at least two new Directors to our Board of Directors to improve overall diversity at the highest level of corporate governance. 16 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Diversity and Employment Statistics As of December 31, 2022, we had 269 employees, of which 148, 34, and five worked in Claims, the Client Experience Center, and Underwriting, respectively. These employees have regular direct contact with our vendors, agencies, or customers. We are not party to any collective bargaining agreements and we have not experienced any work stoppages or strikes as a result of labor disputes. The following table shows the diversity in our workforce population at December 31, 2022 and how this diversity has changed from December 31, 2021. Gender (1) Change from December 31, 2021 Race (1) Change from December 31, 2021 Executive Officers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Management Team (2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(2) Our management team is comprised of employees in supervisory roles at the manager and director level or above. As seen in the table above, our commitment to diversity and inclusion can be seen as our gender and racial diversity remains mostly consistent year over year. We believe that inclusion and diversity starts at the top. In 2021, we appointed a female leader within our organization to serve as our General Counsel. With two of the five members of our executive leadership team comprised of underrepresented groups, we believe this is strong evidence of our commitment to our ESG goals. Oversight and Management We recognize the diversity of our policyholders, team, and geographic markets, and believe in creating an inclusive environment that represents a variety of backgrounds. Working under these principles, our Employee Success Department is tasked with recruiting and hiring, onboarding, performance management, and managing employee-related matters. In addition, we have developed “UPC University”, a robust training program for our incoming claims adjusters and underwriting advocates. With this development, we have created a full-time Training Department, whose focus is on harboring success in our claims adjusters and underwriting advocates while continuously improving the training curriculum and experience for the company as a whole. Finally, we have created a monthly leadership development series for all staff at the management level or higher. We believe in transparency at all levels at UPC Insurance. On a monthly basis, an all employee meeting is held where our Executive Officers recognize employees for their continued success, discuss new and ongoing company initiatives, and address any concerns our employees may have. In addition to this, the leaders in each department assist our Executive Officers in maintaining our culture and implementing our core values at all levels of the organization. Total Rewards We believe that our future success largely depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. To ensure we are successful in this, we provide our employees with the following: • Competitive salaries and bonuses; 17 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. • Tuition reimbursement; • Paid parental leave; and • Robust employee benefit packages that include: • Health care; • Vision; • Dental; • Retirement program; • Paid time off; and • Employee assistance program that provides emotional support, legal services and financial services. As a part of our retention efforts, we also invest in ongoing development for all employees, and attempt to fill vacant senior or leadership roles through internal promotion when possible. Voluntary attrition was 39.3% for the year ended December 31, 2022. CORPORATE INFORMATION United Insurance Holdings Corp. was incorporated in Delaware in 2007.

Risk Factors Many factors affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. If any of the following risks or uncertainties occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment in our securities. Before making an investment in our securities, investors should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below, together with the other information in this report, including the section entitled “Forward-looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the other reports and materials filed by us with the SEC. RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS As a property and casualty insurer, we may experience significant losses, and our financial results may vary from period to period, due to our exposure to catastrophic events and severe weather conditions, the frequency and severity of which could be affected by the unpredictability of future catastrophic events and severe weather conditions. Our property and casualty insurance operations expose us to risks arising from catastrophes. Catastrophes can be caused by various natural events, including but not limited to hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, windstorms, earthquakes, hail, sinkholes, severe winter weather and fires, or man-made events, such as terrorist attacks (including those involving nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological events), cybercrimes or consequences of war or political instability. We may incur catastrophe losses that exceed the amount of: • • • • catastrophe losses experienced in prior years; catastrophe losses projected to be incurred, using third-party catastrophe modeling software; catastrophe loss estimates used to develop prices for our products; or our current reinsurance coverage (which would cause us to have to pay such excess losses). The frequency and severity of weather conditions are inherently unpredictable, but the frequency and severity of property claims generally increase when severe weather conditions occur. Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, all states in which we write policies, have experienced significant hurricanes in recent years, which some weather analysts believe is consistent with a period of sustained greater hurricane activity. There is a growing consensus today that climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of catastrophic events or severe weather conditions which, in addition to the attendant increase in claims-related costs, may also cause an increase in our reinsurance costs and/or negatively impact our ability to provide insurance to our policyholders in the future. In addition, increased catastrophic events could result in increased credit exposure to the reinsurers we transact business with. Our actual losses from catastrophic events may be larger than anticipated should our reinsurers fail to meet their obligations. We cannot predict how legal, regulatory and social responses to concerns around climate change may impact our business. Governmental entities may also respond to climate change by enacting laws and regulations that may increase our cost of providing insurance in the future, which could adversely affect demand. Catastrophes could be more frequent or severe than contemplated in our pricing and risk management models, and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations during any reporting period due to increases in our loss and loss adjustment expense. Catastrophes may also reduce liquidity and could impair our ability to maintain existing capital, or raise capital on acceptable terms or at all. In addition to catastrophes, the accumulation of losses from several smaller weather-related events in any reporting period may have a similar impact to our results of operations and financial condition. 19 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Because we conduct a significant portion of our business in Florida, our financial results substantially depend on, and could be adversely affected by, the regulatory, legal, economic, political, demographic, competitive and weather conditions present in that state. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 52.5% of our policies in-force and 43.4% of our total insured value were concentrated in Florida. Therefore, the prevailing regulatory, legal, economic, political, demographic, competitive, weather and other conditions in Florida will likely have a more significant impact on our revenues and profitability compared to such conditions in other jurisdictions in which we operate. Furthermore, changes in such conditions in Florida could make doing business in Florida less attractive for us, which could have a more pronounced effect on us than it would on other insurance companies that are more geographically diversified. In addition, due to Florida’s climate, we are subject to increased exposure to certain catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes, as well as an increased risk of losses from such events. The occurrence of one or more catastrophic events or other conditions affecting losses in Florida may cause a disproportionately adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We also face a substantial number of lawsuits arising primarily from assignment of benefits (AOB) in the State of Florida. In recent years, Florida homeowners have been assigning the benefit of their insurance recovery to third parties, leading to increases in the severity and frequency of claims and the amount of litigation under AOB agreements that insureds make with customers. In July 2019, the Florida legislature enacted an AOB reform bill that intends to limit AOB litigation by creating requirements for the execution of an AOB and allowing an insurance policy to prohibit any AOB. We cannot guarantee that this new legislation will reduce the future impact of AOB practices, or whether additional legislation will be passed to further address AOB. We also face an increase in cost of claims as the result of one-way attorney fees in the State of Florida. Florida Statutes sections 627.428 and 57.105 provide that a prevailing party in litigation is entitled to attorney’s fees. In 2021, the Florida legislature enacted omnibus insurance reform that, among other measures, replaced the one-way attorney fee statute with a schedule whereby recovery of attorney fees is contingent upon obtaining a judgment that exceeds the pre-suit offer. In 2022, the Florida legislature enacted additional insurance reform designed to improve the affordability of property insurance and reduce frivolous lawsuits. We cannot guarantee that this new legislation will further reduce the impact of litigation and expenses related to litigation, or whether additional legislation will be passed to further address one-way attorney fees. Our exposure in Louisiana and Texas represented approximately 24.9% of our policies in-force and 23.3% of our total insured value at December 31, 2022. Therefore, any changes in the prevailing regulatory, legal, economic, political, demographic, competitive, weather and other conditions in these states, when coupled with the conditions in Florida, will likely have a significant impact on our revenues and profitability. Because we rely on insurance agents, the loss of these agent relationships, particularly our relationship with AmRisc, LLC (AmRisc), or our inability to attract and incentivize new agents could have an adverse impact on our business. We market our policies to a broad range of prospective policyholders through approximately 2,693 independent agencies as of December 31, 2022. Many of these agents are independent insurance agents that own their customer relationships, and our agency contracts with them limit our ability to directly solicit business from our existing policyholders. Independent agents commonly represent other insurance companies, including our competitors, and we do not control their activities. As a result, we must compete with other insurers for independent agents’ business. Our competitors may offer a greater variety of insurance products, lower premiums for insurance coverage or higher commissions to their agents. As a result, our business is dependent on the marketing efforts of these independent agents and on our ability to offer products and services that meet their and 20 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. their customers’ requirements. Historically, we have used marketing relationships with national insurance companies and associations of independent insurance agents to attract and retain agents and agency groups. The loss of these marketing relationships could adversely impact our ability to attract new agents or retain our agency network and policies in-force. Failure to grow or maintain our agency relationships, a failure to attract and incentivize new agents or the failure of agents to act as anticipated could adversely affect sales of our insurance products. Additionally, ACIC has a managing agency contract (the MGA contract) with AmRisc, pursuant to which AmRisc serves as ACIC’s managing general agent for binding and writing commercial residential property lines for condominium, townhome and homeowners association insurance written in Florida. The contract between ACIC and AmRisc is exclusive. Under the MGA contract with ACIC, AmRisc must produce a certain volume of business for ACIC. Therefore, failure of AmRisc to produce the required volume of business could cause us to lose substantial premiums and could require us to seek one or more alternative managing general agents. If we were unable to find a replacement managing general agent, our revenues could decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Given the concentration of ACIC’s commercial business and operations with AmRisc, AmRisc may have substantial leverage in negotiations with ACIC regarding the MGA contract, and amendments to the terms and conditions of the MGA contract or other changes to the commercial relationship between AmRisc and ACIC could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Following the termination or expiration of the MGA contract, ACIC’s ability to compete for and solicit renewals of business previously underwritten by AmRisc on their respective behalves may be limited by legal, commercial and other impediments, including AmRisc’s relationship with other insurance producers that control the business. Such impediments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations due to the concentration of ACIC’s business with AmRisc. Actual claims incurred may exceed our loss reserves for claims, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Loss reserves represent our estimate of ultimate unpaid losses for claims that have been reported and claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. Loss reserves do not represent an exact calculation of liability, but instead represent our best estimate, generally utilizing actuarial expertise, historical information and projection techniques at a given reporting date. The process of estimating our loss reserves involves a high degree of judgment and is subject to a number of variables. These variables can be affected by both internal and external events, such as changes in claims handling procedures, economic inflation, legal trends, legislative changes, emerging economic and social trends and varying judgments and viewpoints of the individuals involved in the estimation process, among others. In addition, application of statistical and actuarial methods in estimating our loss reserves may require the adjustment of overall reserves upward or downward from time to time. Future loss experience substantially in excess of our loss reserves could substantially harm our results of operations and financial condition. Because of the inherent uncertainty in estimating loss reserves, including reserves for catastrophes and litigated claims, additional liabilities resulting from one insured event, or an accumulation of insured events, may exceed our existing loss reserves. If our reserves are inadequate, it may cause us to overstate our earnings for the periods during which our reserves for expected losses was insufficient. 21 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. As a result of the uncertainties regarding the allocation of reinsurance recoveries, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing and reinsurance coverage. As a result of our insurance subsidiary, UPC, being ordered into receivership for purposes of liquidation with the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) appointed as the receiver, uncertainty exists regarding the allocation of reinsurance recoveries under the Company’s core catastrophe reinsurance program, which provides coverage for both UPC and our other insurance subsidiary, ACIC. With the DFS having assumed full control of UPC, the reinsurance allocation agreement between UPC and ACIC which was previously approved by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, is subject to review by the DFS, the outcome or timing of which is uncertain. A significant delay in receiving funds owed to us, or the failure to receive any or all of the funds we believe to be owed to us, could adversely impact our future ability to operate as a going concern. Absent these recoveries, uncertainty also exists regarding ACIC’s ability to obtain adequate catastrophe reinsurance coverage for the June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024 renewal period. We are in negotiations with reinsurers for the 2023-2024 hurricane catastrophe cover and believe that capacity is available, although the cost of reinsurance will increase, possibly materially, for the June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024 renewal period. If we are unable to obtain adequate catastrophe reinsurance coverage, or such coverage is prohibitively expensive, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that these financial statements are issued. This substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern could materially limit our ability to raise new funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities. We may experience government-levied assessments. Although we may have the ability to collect this assessment from our policyholders, the timing of collection may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to assessments levied by various governmental and quasi- governmental entities in the states in which we operate. While we may have the ability to recover these assessments from policyholders through policy surcharges in some states in which we operate, our payment of the assessments and our recoveries may not offset each other in the same reporting period in our financial statements and may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a particular reporting period. Our failure to implement and maintain adequate internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. “Internal control over financial reporting” refers to those processes within a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires our management to annually assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls in accordance with applicable standards, or if we have future material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may be unable to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the market price for our stock could decline if our internal controls do not remain effective or if future material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified. 22 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. If we experience difficulties with our information technology or data security systems and/or outsourcing relationships, our ability to conduct our business could be negatively impacted, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. We use computer systems to store, retrieve, evaluate and utilize customer, employee, company and third- party data and information. Our business is highly dependent upon our information technology systems and the ability of key vendors and third-party administrators’ to perform necessary business functions efficiently and without interruption. Our ability to process policies and adjust claims in a timely manner could be impaired by an unplanned shutdown or failure of one or more systems or facilities due to man-made or natural disruption. These include an event leading to power outages, loss of facility access, a major internet failure, pandemic or a failure of one or more of our information technology, telecommunications or other systems. Because our information technology and telecommunications systems interface with and often depend on third-party systems, we could experience service denials if demand for such service exceeds capacity or a third-party system fails or experiences an interruption. If sustained or repeated, such a business interruption, system failure or service denial could result in a deterioration of our ability to write and process new and renewal business, provide customer service, pay claims in a timely manner or perform other necessary business functions. Despite our continual evaluation of potential attackers’ techniques and tactics and our efforts in monitoring, training, planning and prevention, our information technology systems are vulnerable to computer viruses, natural disasters, unauthorized access, cyber-attacks, system failures, human error and negligence, and similar disruptions. There is no assurance that our security measures will provide fully effective protection from such disruptions. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems evolve rapidly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement comprehensive counter measures. A material breach in the security of our information technology systems and data could include the theft of our confidential or proprietary information, including trade secrets, and the personally identifiable information of our customers, claimants, agents and employees. From time to time, we have experienced threats to our data and information technology systems, including malware and computer virus attacks, attempts of unauthorized access, system failures and disruptions. Disruptions or security breaches resulting in a loss or damage to our data or inappropriate disclosure of proprietary or confidential information, or the personally identifiable information of our customers, claimants, agents and employees, could cause significant damage to our reputation, adversely affect our relationships with our customers, result in litigation or regulatory investigations, increase remediation costs and/or regulatory penalties, and ultimately harm our business. Third parties to whom we outsource certain functions are also subject to the risks outlined above, any one of which may result in our incurring substantial costs and other negative consequences, including a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may transmit, receive and store personally identifiable, confidential and proprietary information by any number of standard data transmission methods or other electronic means. We may be unable to keep such information confidential, in all events, especially with clients, vendors, service providers, counterparties and other third parties who may not have or use appropriate controls to protect confidential information. Furthermore, we are subject to compliance with laws and regulations enacted by U.S. federal and state governments, or enacted by various regulatory organizations or exchanges relating to the privacy and security of the information of clients, employees or others. The compromise of personally identifiable, confidential or proprietary information could result in remediation costs, legal liability, regulatory action and reputational harm. Additionally, in the absence of overarching federal law, individual states are adopting their own privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations. For example, in an effort to protect information systems, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) adopted regulation providing minimum standards for an organization’s cybersecurity program and requiring additional certification confirming compliance. In October 23 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. 2017, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) adopted a new Insurance Data Security Model Law, which is intended to establish the standards for data security and standards for the investigation and notification of data breaches applicable to insurance licensees in states adopting such law, with provisions that are generally consistent with the NYDFS cybersecurity regulation. Though the NYDFS cybersecurity regulation helps to reduce the third-party risk and imposes specific technical safeguards, the evolving compliance and operational requirements of privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time and may restrict the way services involving data are offered, all of which may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Loss of key vendor relationships or failure of a vendor to protect personally identifiable information of our customers, claimants or employees could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We rely on services and products provided by many third-party vendors. These include, for example, vendors of computer hardware and software and vendors of services such as claim adjustment services and payroll and benefits vendors who process sensitive personally identifiable information. In the event that one or more of our vendors suffers a bankruptcy, renews its contractual arrangement on terms less favorable to us, fails to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or otherwise becomes unable to continue to provide products or services, or fails to protect personally identifiable information of our customers, claimants or employees, we may suffer operational impairments and financial losses. An interruption in or the cessation of service by any service provider as a result of system failures, capacity constraints, financial difficulties or for any other reason could disrupt our operations, impact our ability to offer certain products and services and result in contractual or regulatory penalties, liability claims from clients or employees, damage to our reputation and harm to our business. Moreover, in the event of a data breach involving any of our third-party vendors, our customers’, claimants’ or employees’ personally identifiable information could also be put at risk. Any such data breach involving our third-party vendors could result in significant mitigation or legal expenses for us, which could materially and adversely affect our reputation, relationships with our customers, business, results of operations and financial condition. Our success has been and will continue to be greatly influenced by our ability to attract and retain the services of senior management, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our senior executive officers play an integral role in the development and management of our business given their skills, knowledge of our business, years of industry experience and the potential difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement employees. Due to the intense competition in our industry for senior executive officers with demonstrated ability, we cannot guarantee that any such officers will continue their employment with us. Additionally, we do not maintain any key person life insurance policies on any of our officers or employees. Losing any of our senior executive officers and/or not succeeding in attracting and retaining senior executive officers could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our mergers, dispositions and other strategic transactions may not be as successful as we anticipate, and could be difficult to integrate, divert management resources, result in unanticipated costs or dilute our existing stockholders. Part of our continuing business strategy is to evaluate opportunities to merge with companies that complement our business model or enter into other strategic transactions that facilitate or expedite the accomplishment of our business goals. We may be unable to identify suitable counterparties to such a transaction. Even if we enter into an agreement in respect of a merger with another business, disposition of a 24 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. business or other strategic transaction, we may not be able to finalize a transaction after significant investments of time and resources due to, among other things, a lack of regulatory approval or imposition of a burdensome condition by the regulator. In connection with a merger, disposition or other strategic transaction, we could incur debt, amortization expenses related to intangible assets, large and immediate write-offs, assume liabilities or issue stock that would dilute our current stockholders’ percentage of ownership. As a result, there is a risk of transaction-related litigation. Such strategic transactions could pose numerous risks to our operations, including risks relating to: • • • • • • • incurring substantial unanticipated integration costs; diverting significant management attention and financial resources from our other operations and disrupting our ongoing business during the integration process; losing key employees, particularly those of the merged operations; keeping existing customers and retaining the merged business’ customers; failing to realize the strategic benefits or the potential cost savings or other financial benefits of the mergers; incurring unanticipated liabilities or claims from the acquired businesses and contractually-based time and monetary limitations on the seller’s obligation to indemnify us for such liabilities or claims; and limitations on our ability to access additional capital when needed. We are also subject to a certain level of risk regarding the actual condition of the businesses that we acquire. Until we actually assume operating control of such businesses and their assets and operations, we may not be able to ascertain the actual value or understand the potential liabilities of the acquired entities and their operations. As a result, we may not be able to complete acquisitions, mergers or other strategic transactions or integrate the operations, products or personnel gained through any such acquisition, merger or other strategic transaction without a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may engage in future dispositions or wind-downs of certain business. These dispositions pose risks to our operations in addition to those previously mentioned, including risks related to: • • • • the ability to price a sale transaction appropriately and otherwise negotiate acceptable terms; the ability to replace legacy earnings from the business position with new revenues; the ability to collect proceeds from the disposition in a timely manner, which may be earmarked for other strategic transactions and may hinder our ability to carry out those strategic transactions; and the ability to run-off segments of our business while staying compliant with all applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, the disposition of any portion of our business may adversely affect the price of our stock and result in losses to investors of shares. We face risks associated with investments in which we share ownership or management with third parties. From time to time, we have and may continue to invest in entities in which we share ownership or management with third parties. In certain circumstances, we may not have complete control over governance, financial reporting, operations, legal and regulatory compliance or other matters relating to such entities. As a result, we may face certain operating, financial, legal, regulatory, compliance and other risks relating to these 25 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. entities, including, but not limited to, risks related to the financial strength of other investors; the willingness of other investors to provide adequate funding for the entity; differing goals, strategies, priorities or objectives between us and other investors; our inability to unilaterally implement actions, policies or procedures with respect to the entity that we believe are favorable; legal and regulatory compliance risks relating to actions of the entity or other investors; and the risk that we will be unable to resolve disputes with other investors. As a result, investments in which we share ownership or management subject us to risk and may contribute significantly less than anticipated to our earnings and cash flows. Our Senior Notes place certain restrictions on our operations and our failure to comply with such restrictions, including as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Our Senior Notes due 2027 (Senior Notes) place certain restrictions on the Company’s financial operations. Because we are a holding company, our assets consist primarily of the securities of our subsidiaries. The negative pledge provisions in the Senior Notes limit our ability to pledge securities of our subsidiaries and restrict dispositions of the capital stock of our subsidiaries. Our Senior Notes require us to maintain certain financial ratios and to comply with various operational and other covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur any indebtedness unless certain conditions are met. Details of these covenants can be found in Note 11 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Our failure to comply with such restrictions, including as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default and an acceleration of the maturity of the Senior Notes. We cannot assure you that our assets or cash flow would be sufficient to fully repay the Senior Notes if accelerated, or that we would be able to restructure the payments on the Senior Notes. This could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related business disruption and economic uncertainty could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. During 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) spread to many countries in the world, including the United States, and the outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the COVID-19 virus and its potential impact, and the extent of and effectiveness of responses taken on international, national and local levels. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend, in large part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence such as: • • • • • the duration and severity of the spread; the extent and duration of business closures, travel restrictions, social distancing and other actions taken to contain and treat COVID-19; the effectiveness of vaccines for COVID-19; the effectiveness of therapies for COVID-19; and the effectiveness of actions taken by governmental authorities to contain and treat the virus. Measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business and government shutdowns, resulted in significant negative economic impacts on the United States and globally. However, since January 2021, we have seen reduced risk from COVID-19 as a result of the availability of vaccinations, the number of people opting for vaccination, and the easing of travel and social distancing restrictions. While we have not incurred any significant disruptions to our business operations, financial position, liquidity or our ability to service our policyholders as of the date of this Form 10-K, with the exception of fluctuations in our investment portfolios due to the volatility in the equity 26 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. securities markets in 2020, the continued impacts of COVID-19 (including a severe or prolonged economic downturn due to impacts from COVID-19) could result in a variety of risks to our business, including: • • an increase in the default of insurance premiums coinciding with an increase in unemployment rates and customers’ inability to pay premiums; our ability to meet regulatory and debt service requirements; • more stringent regulatory requirements or a rating agency downgrade that would impact both agency and consumer confidence; • • • • • • • travel restrictions and quarantines leading to a lack of in-person meetings, which could hinder the efficiency of our internal operations and our ability to establish relationships with agents to generate new business; contraction of the global reinsurance markets resulting from uncertainties related to current and future COVID-19 claims on underlying risks; higher frequency and/or severity of claims from certain perils such as theft, fire and liability, as well as fraudulent insurance loss schemes and litigation attempting to force coverage; legislative, judicial and regulatory actions may expand coverage definitions, retroactively mandate coverage or otherwise require us to pay losses for damages that our insurance policies explicitly excluded or were not intended or priced to cover; changes in the equity markets, changes in interest rates, and reduced liquidity leading to a decline in the value of our investment portfolio; a recession or market correction could materially affect the value of our common stock; and our third-party vendors experiencing business disruptions or reduced service levels resulting from lack of an available and qualified workforce, which impact our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned. RISKS RELATED TO THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY Because we are operating in a highly competitive market, we may lack the resources to control our market share, which could adversely impact our business and results of operations. The property and casualty insurance industry is highly competitive, and we believe it will remain highly competitive for the foreseeable future. The principal competitive factors in our industry are price, service, coverage options, underwriting guidelines, commission structure and financial condition. We compete with other property and casualty insurers that underwrite property and casualty insurance in the same geographic areas in which we operate and some of those insurers have greater financial resources and have a longer operating history than we do. In addition, our competitors may offer products for alternative forms of risk protection that we presently do not offer or are not similarly regulated in the admitted market, which could adversely affect the sales of our products. Customers may turn to our competitors as a result of our failure to deliver on customer expectations, service flaws, technology issues, gaps in operational support or other issues affecting customer experience. We also compete with new companies that continue to enter the insurance market. We may have difficulty controlling our market share while rates are increasing due to an increase in reinsurance costs and losses from the high frequency of catastrophe events in recent years. Competition could limit our ability to retain existing business or to write new business at adequate rates, and such limitation may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. 27 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. In addition, industry developments could further increase competition in our industry. These developments could include: • • • • an influx of new capital in the marketplace as existing companies attempt to expand their businesses and new companies attempt to enter the insurance business as a result of better premium pricing and/or policy terms; an increase in programs in which state-sponsored entities provide property insurance in catastrophe- prone areas; changes in state regulatory climates; and the passage of federal proposals for an optional federal charter that would allow some competing insurers to operate under regulations different or less stringent than those applicable to us. These developments and others could make the property and casualty insurance marketplace more competitive by increasing the supply of insurance available. If competition limits our ability to write new business at adequate rates, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. Changes in state regulation may adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition. As a holding company with operating insurance company subsidiaries, we are subject to the laws and regulations of the various states in which our insurance subsidiaries operate. From time to time, states pass legislation, and regulators take action, that has the effect of limiting the ability of insurers to manage risk, such as legislation prohibiting insurers from reducing exposures or withdrawing from catastrophe-prone areas, or mandating that insurers participate in residual markets. In addition, legislative initiatives and court decisions can seek to expand insurance coverage for insured losses beyond the original intent of the policies, which could cause our actual loss and loss adjustment expense to exceed our estimates. Further, our ability to increase pricing to the extent necessary to offset rising loss or operating costs requires approval of insurance regulatory authorities. Our ability to appropriately manage our catastrophe exposure by raising prices, modifying underwriting terms or reducing exposure to certain geographies may be limited due to considerations of public policy and the evolving political environment, which may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot predict whether and to what extent the adoption of new legislation and regulations would affect our ability to manage our exposure to catastrophic events. The insurance industry is heavily regulated and further restrictive regulation may reduce our profitability and limit our growth. The insurance industry is extensively regulated and supervised. Insurance regulatory authorities generally design insurance rules and regulations to protect the interests of policyholders, and not necessarily the interests of insurers, their stockholders, and other investors. This regulation relates to authorization for lines of business, capital and surplus requirements, investment limitations, underwriting limitations, transactions with affiliates, dividend limitations, changes in control, premium rates and a variety of other financial and non-financial components of an insurance company’s business. We are subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision by state insurance departments in all states in which our insurance subsidiaries are domiciled, as well as all states in which they are licensed, sell insurance products, issue policies, or handle claims. The regulations of each state are unique and complex and subject to change, and certain states may have regulations that conflict with the regulations of other states in which we operate. As a result, we are subject to the risk that compliance with the regulations in one state may not result in compliance with the regulations in another state. 28 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. We strive to maintain all required licenses and approvals. However, we may not fully comply with the wide variety of applicable laws and regulations. The relevant authority’s interpretation of the laws and regulations also may change from time to time. Regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to impose fines, and grant, renew or revoke licenses and approvals. If we do not have the required licenses and approvals or do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements, these authorities could preclude or temporarily suspend us from carrying on some or all of our activities or impose substantial fines. In addition, we may face individual and class action lawsuits by insured and other parties for alleged violations of certain of these laws or regulations. State statutes and administrative rules generally require each insurance company to register with the department of insurance in its state of domicile and to furnish information concerning the operations of the companies within the holding company system. Failure to comply with such requirements may materially affect the operations, management or financial condition of the insurers. As part of its registration, each insurance company must identify material agreements, relationships and transactions with affiliates, including loans, investments, asset transfers, transactions outside of the ordinary course of business, certain management, service, and cost sharing agreements, reinsurance transactions, dividends, and other financial and non-financial components of an insurer’s business. Some states impose restrictions or require prior regulatory approval of specific corporate actions, which may adversely affect our ability to operate, innovate, obtain necessary rate adjustments in a timely manner or grow our business profitably. Our ability to comply with these laws and regulations, and to obtain necessary regulatory action in a timely manner is, and will continue to be, critical to our success. Currently, the federal government’s role in regulating or dictating the policies of insurance companies is limited. However, from time to time Congress has considered and may in the future consider proposals that would increase the role of the federal government in insurance regulation, either in addition to or in lieu of state regulation. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act established a Federal Insurance Office (FIO) within the U.S. Department of Treasury Department to collect data on the insurance industry, recommend changes to the state system of insurance regulation and preempt certain state insurance laws. The potential impact on our business as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and the FIO’s current and future recommendations remains unclear; however, the implementation of any federal insurance regulations that constrain our business opportunities or reduce investment flexibility could negatively impact our business. In recent years, the state insurance regulatory framework has come under increased federal scrutiny. Changes in federal legislation, regulation and/or administrative policies in several areas, including changes in financial services regulation and federal taxation, could negatively affect the insurance industry and us. In addition, Congress and some federal agencies from time to time investigate the current condition of insurance regulation in the United States to determine whether to impose federal or national regulation or to allow an optional federal charter, similar to the option available to most banks. Further, the NAIC and state insurance regulators continually reexamine existing laws and regulations, specifically focusing on modifications to holding company regulations, interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws and regulations. We cannot predict what effect, if any, proposed or future legislation or NAIC initiatives may have on the manner in which we conduct our business. As part of potential, or future, industry-wide investigations, we may from time to time receive requests for information from government agencies and authorities at the state or federal level. If we are subpoenaed for information by government agencies and authorities, potential outcomes could include law enforcement proceedings or settlements resulting in fines, penalties and/or changes in business practices that could cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, these investigations may result in changes to laws and regulations affecting the industry. 29 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Changes to insurance laws or regulations, or new insurance laws and regulations, may be more restrictive than current laws or regulations and could significantly increase our compliance costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our prospects for future growth. Additionally, our failure to comply with certain provisions of applicable insurance laws and regulations could result in significant fines or penalties being levied against us and may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Our inability to obtain reinsurance on acceptable terms could increase our loss exposure or limit our ability to underwrite policies, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We use, and we expect to continue to use, reinsurance to help manage our exposure to property risks. Reinsurance is insurance for insurers and is fundamentally a promise by the reinsurer to pay possible future claims in exchange for the payment of a premium by the insurance company seeking reinsurance. Both the availability of reinsurance and the cost of reinsurance are subject to prevailing market conditions beyond our control, which can affect business volume and profitability. We may be unable to maintain our current reinsurance coverage, to obtain additional reinsurance coverage in the event our current reinsurance coverage is exhausted by a catastrophic event, or to obtain other reinsurance coverage in adequate amounts or at acceptable rates. Similar risks exist whether we are seeking to replace coverage terminated during the applicable coverage period or to renew or replace coverage upon its expiration. Market conditions beyond our control determine the availability and cost of reinsurance. For example, reinsurance may be more difficult or costly to obtain after several years with higher frequencies of major catastrophes. We may be unable to reduce per event or aggregate retentions when renewing or replacing our coverage due, in part, to the frequency of storms in prior years and the litigation trends in the state of Florida, which would increase our risk exposure and could ultimately lead to us paying higher claims. We provide no assurance that we can obtain sufficient reinsurance to cover losses resulting from one or more storms or other events in the future, or that we can obtain such reinsurance in a timely or cost- effective manner. If we are unable to renew our expiring coverage or to obtain new reinsurance coverage, either our net exposure to risk would increase or, if we are unwilling to accept an increase in net risk exposures, we may have to reduce the amount of risk we underwrite or accept higher reinsurance costs. Any of these alternatives may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. Our inability to collect from our reinsurers on our reinsurance claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flow. We use reinsurance as a tool to manage risks associated with our business. However, we remain primarily liable as the direct insurer on all risks for which we obtain reinsurance. Our reinsurance agreements do not eliminate our obligation to pay claims to insureds. As a result, we are subject to counterparty risk with respect to our ability to recover amounts due from reinsurers. The risk could arise in two situations: (i) our reinsurers may dispute some of our reinsurance claims based on contract terms, and we may ultimately receive partial or no payment, or (ii) the amount of losses that reinsurers incur related to worldwide catastrophes may materially harm the financial condition of our reinsurers and cause them to default on their obligations. Collectability of reinsurance is subject to the solvency of the reinsurers, interpretation of contract language and other factors. A reinsurer’s insolvency, inability to make payments, or dispute of its obligations under the terms of a reinsurance contract could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Our efforts to manage these risks through underwriting guidelines, collateral requirements, financial strength ratings and other oversight mechanisms may not be successful. As a result, our exposure to counterparty risk under our reinsurance agreements may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. 30 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Our investments are subject to market risks that may result in reduced returns or losses. Our investment assets are invested by professional investment management firms under the direction of our management team in accordance with investment guidelines approved by the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. Our investments are subject to market risks and risks inherent in individual securities. In particular, interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including monetary and fiscal policy, domestic and international economic and political issues, geopolitical events, economic sanctions, blockades, the impact of domestic and international decisions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors beyond our control. Our portfolio is primarily invested in fixed income securities and changes in the general interest rate environment will affect our returns on, and the fair value of, our fixed maturity and short-term investments. A decline in interest rates reduces the interest rate payable on new fixed income investments, thereby negatively impacting our net investment income. Conversely, rising interest rates reduce the fair value of existing fixed maturities. The volatility of any losses may force us to liquidate securities, which may cause us to incur capital losses. Realized fixed income and equity and unrealized equity losses in our investment portfolio would generally reduce our book value and, if significant, could affect our ability to conduct business. In addition, defaults under, or impairments of, any of these investments as a result of financial problems with the issuer and, where applicable, its guarantor could reduce our net investment income and net realized investment gains or result in investment losses. We are subject to risks associated with potential declines in credit quality related to specific issuers and a general weakening in the economy. We may experience credit or default losses in our portfolio, including as a result of the failure of the procedures we have implemented to monitor the credit risk of our invested assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We may decide to invest an additional portion of our assets in equity securities, private equity limited partnership interests or other investments, which are generally subject to greater volatility than fixed maturity investments. Moreover, our private equity limited partnership interests are subject to transfer restrictions and may be illiquid. General economic conditions, stock market conditions, geopolitical events and many other factors beyond our control can adversely affect the fair value of our equity securities or other investments and could adversely affect our realization of net investment income. As a result of these factors, we may not realize an adequate return on our investments or we may incur losses on sales of our investments, which could reduce our net investment income and net realized investment gains or result in investment losses. The fair value of our investment portfolio is also subject to valuation uncertainties. The valuation of investments is more subjective when the markets for these investments are illiquid and may increase the risk that the estimated fair value of our investment portfolio is not reflective of prices at which actual transactions would occur. Additionally, in the case of our private equity limited partnership interests, such valuations are determined by outside managers. Since the majority of our investments are held by our insurance subsidiaries, significant decreases in the fair value of these investments will produce significant declines in the statutory surplus of our insurance business. A long-term material decline in statutory surplus could have an adverse effect on our financial strength ratings and our ability to write new and renewal insurance business, thus potentially reducing our future underwriting profits. Our determination of the amount of credit allowances to record varies by investment type and is based upon our periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent credit risks associated with the respective investment type. We revise our evaluations and assessments as conditions change and new information becomes available, and we reflect changes in the credit allowance in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We base our assessment of whether a credit allowance is required based on our case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in fair value. However, we may not accurately assess whether a credit 31 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. allowance is required and the recorded amounts for a credit allowance in our financial statements may be inadequate. Federal and/or state tax legislation could be enacted that would lessen or eliminate some or all of the tax advantages we currently benefit from, including those governing received deductions and tax credits, which could adversely affect the value of our investment portfolio. The property and casualty insurance and reinsurance industry is historically cyclical and the pricing and terms for our products may decline, which would adversely affect our profitability. Historically, the financial performance of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance industry has been cyclical, characterized by periods of severe price competition and excess underwriting capacity, or “soft” markets, followed by periods of high premium rates and shortages of underwriting capacity, or “hard” markets. We cannot predict with certainty when such a period may occur or how long any given hard or soft market will last. Downturns in the property and casualty market may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. Losses from legal actions may materially affect our operating results, cash flows and financial condition. Trends in the insurance industry regarding claims and coverage issues, such as increased litigation and the willingness of courts to expand covered causes of loss, may contribute to increased litigation costs and increase our loss exposure under the policies that we underwrite. As industry practices and legal, judicial, social and other environmental conditions change, unexpected and unintended issues related to claims and coverage may emerge. Examples of emerging claims and coverage issues include, but are not limited to: • • judicial expansion of policy coverage and the impact of new theories of liability; and plaintiffs targeting property and casualty insurers in purported class-action litigation relating to claims- handling and other practices. Multiparty or class action claims may present additional exposure to substantial economic, non-economic or punitive damage awards. The loss of even one of these claims, if it resulted in a significant award or a judicial ruling that was otherwise detrimental, could create a precedent in our industry that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. This risk of potential liability may make reasonable settlements of claims more difficult to obtain. We may be named a defendant in a number of legal actions relating to those emerging claim and coverage issues. The propensity of policyholders and third-party claimants to litigate and the willingness of courts to expand causes of loss and the size of awards may result in increased costs associated with litigation, render our loss reserves inadequate and may be material to our operating results and cash flows for a particular quarter or annual period and to our financial condition. In addition, claims and coverage issues may not become apparent to us for some time after our issuance of the affected insurance policies. As a result, we may not know the full extent of liability under insurance policies we issue for many years after the policies are issued. A downgrade in or withdrawal of our financial strength or stability ratings could adversely impact our business volume and our ability to access additional debt or equity financing. Financial strength or stability ratings are important to an insurer’s competitive position. Ratings measure an insurance company’s ability to meet its obligation to contract holders and policyholders. High ratings help maintain public confidence in a company’s products, facilitate the marketing of its products and enhance the 32 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. company’s competitive position. Rating agencies review their ratings periodically, and our current ratings may not be maintained in the future. If significant losses, such as those resulting from one or more major catastrophes, or significant reserve additions were to cause our capital position to deteriorate significantly, or if one or more rating agencies substantially increase their capital requirements, we may need to raise equity capital in the future to maintain our ratings or limit the extent of a downgrade. For example, a trend of more frequent and severe weather-related catastrophes may lead rating agencies to substantially increase their capital requirements. We cannot guarantee that our insurance subsidiaries, IIC and ACIC will maintain their current A (Exceptional) or higher ratings by Demotech and A- ratings by Kroll. Any downgrade or withdrawal of these ratings could impact the acceptability of our products to mortgage lenders that require homeowners to buy insurance, reduce our ability to retain and attract policyholders and agents and damage our ability to compete, which may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. These material adverse effects could include, but are not limited to: • • • reducing demand for new sales of insurance products; requiring us to modify our existing products or services, introduce new products or services or reduce prices for our products and services, in order to remain competitive; adversely affecting our relationships with our independent agents; • materially increasing the number or amount of policy cancellations and non-renewals by policyholders; • • • • requiring us to post additional collateral under certain of our financing transactions; limiting financial flexibility and access to capital markets; adversely affecting our ability to obtain reinsurance at reasonable prices or at all; and increasing the interest rates on our outstanding Senior Notes. During the third quarter of 2022, we received notice from Demotech that the financial stability rating for our insurance subsidiary, UPC, was withdrawn. We believe that without the Demotech financial stability rating, there is uncertainty around the future availability of reinsurance coverage for UPC. Therefore, the Company has filed plans of withdrawal in Florida, Louisiana and New York which was effective on January 1, 2023, and in Texas, which was effective on November 1, 2022. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2022 the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (FLOIR) issued Consent Order No. 303643-22-CO that provides for the administrative supervision and approval of UPC’s run-off plan. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2022, we received notice from Kroll that the rating of our insurance subsidiary, UPC, was withdrawn. RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by us or our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decrease. As of December 31, 2022, we had registered up to 101,000,000 of our securities (including both our preferred and common stock) authorized to issue from time to time in one or more offerings. Additional equity financings or other share issuances by us could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Future share issuances in connection with merger transactions or other acquisitions could result in substantial additional dilution to our stockholders. Dividend payments on our common stock in the future are uncertain, and our ability to pay dividends may be constrained by our holding company structure. We have paid dividends on our common stock in the past. However, the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our profits, financial 33 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. requirements and other factors, including legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends from our subsidiaries (as we are a holding company and do not have any significant operations or assets other than our ownership of the shares of our operating subsidiaries), capital adequacy, liquidity, general business conditions and such other factors as our Board of Directors deem relevant. Therefore, investors who purchase our common stock may only realize a return on their investment if the value of our common stock appreciates. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends may affect our liquidity and ability to meet our obligations. The Company is a holding company with no significant operations. The principal assets are the stock of its subsidiaries and the holding company’s directly held investment portfolio. State insurance regulatory authorities limit the payment of dividends by insurance subsidiaries, as described in Note 15 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The limitations are based on statutory income and surplus. In addition, competitive pressures generally require the subsidiaries to maintain insurance financial strength ratings. These restrictions and other regulatory requirements affect the ability of the subsidiaries to make dividend payments. Limits on the ability of the subsidiaries to pay dividends could adversely affect holding company liquidity, including our ability to pay dividends to stockholders and service our debt in the timeframe expected. Management views enterprise economic capital as a combination of statutory surplus and invested assets at the parent holding company level. Deterioration in statutory surplus or earnings, from developments such as catastrophe losses, or changes in market conditions or interest rates, could adversely affect holding company liquidity by impacting the amount of dividends from our subsidiaries or the utilization of invested assets at the holding company to increase statutory surplus or for other corporate purposes. In connection with the filed plan of withdrawal in New York for our insurance subsidiary, UPC, our insurance subsidiary, IIC, has agreed not to pay ordinary dividends until January 1, 2025, without the prior approval of the New York Department of Financial Services. The substantial ownership of our common stock by R. Daniel Peed and his affiliates allows him to exert significant control over us, and the Company and R. Daniel Peed are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may restrict our ability to pursue certain opportunities. R. Daniel Peed, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, beneficially owned approximately 32% of our issued and outstanding common stock at December 31, 2022. Mr. Peed also has a proxy from another member of RDX Holding, LLC, the former parent company of AmCo, who beneficially owns approximately 8% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Peed is able to exert substantial control over us. Moreover, Mr. Peed’s interests may conflict with the interests of other holders of our common stock and he may take actions affecting us with which other stockholders may disagree. Mr. Peed has the ability to exert significant influence over the following: • • the nomination, election and removal of our Board of Directors; the adoption of amendments to our charter documents; • management and policies; • • our day-to-day operations; and the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. AmCo and ACIC are also subject to restrictive covenant agreements that contain non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and other restrictive covenants that prohibit AmCo and ACIC from engaging in certain activities, including activities customarily performed by managing general agents and activities relating to 34 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. segments of the commercial property insurance market for coastally exposed risks in the United States. Additionally, in connection with our merger with AmCo, we agreed to be subject to a restrictive covenant expiring on January 1, 2027 that will prohibit the formation, investment in or development, acquisition or ownership of any managing general agent or entity that performs activities customarily performed by managing general agents, or the engagement in customary managing general agent functions with respect to the commercial property insurance business. These restrictive covenants may restrict us from pursuing opportunities for expansion, including opportunities to act as or perform functions similar to a managing general agent, and therefore may limit our overall growth potential. Further, we entered into a stockholder’s agreement with Mr. Peed and certain affiliates of Mr. Peed, which provides those stockholders with rights that our other stockholders do not have. Although the stockholder’s agreement requires shares beneficially owned by Mr. Peed and his affiliates to be voted in proportion to the votes cast by other stockholders on any proposal on which our stockholders are entitled to vote, this restriction terminated on April 3, 2022. Transactions by Mr. Peed and his affiliates involving our common stock may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. As noted above, Mr. Peed beneficially owned approximately 32% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2022. The Company has granted Mr. Peed and his affiliates customary demand and piggyback registration rights pursuant to which, subject to certain limitations, all of such shares eligible to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and may be offered and sold to the public from time to time after the effectiveness of the related registration statement. Such shares may also be resold into the public markets in accordance with an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including Rule 144, subject to the volume limitations, manner of sale requirements and notice requirements thereof. Sales of our common stock by Mr. Peed and his affiliates could have the effect of lowering our stock price. The perceived risk associated with the possible sale of a large number of shares by these stockholders could cause some of our other stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline. In addition, actual or anticipated downward pressure on our stock price due to actual or anticipated sales of stock by Mr. Peed and his affiliates could cause other institutions or individuals to engage in short sales of our common stock, which may further cause the price of our stock to decline. Provisions in our charter documents may make it harder for others to obtain control of us even though some stockholders might consider such a development to be favorable. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals our stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. Our Board of Directors is divided into two classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. At a given annual meeting, only a portion of our Board of Directors may be considered for election. Additionally, the Board of Directors and executive officers control greater than 50% of the Common Stock of the Company. Consequently, our “staggered board” and concentrated holdings may prevent our stockholders from replacing a majority of our Board of Directors at certain annual meetings, and may entrench our management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of our stockholders. Further, our Board of Directors has the ability to designate the terms of and issue one or more series of preferred stock, which may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. 35 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Item 2. Properties We use all of our leased properties for office space. We lease in total approximately 34,900 square feet of office space located in Florida, New York, and Minnesota. These leases are generally short-term to medium-term leases of commercial office space. Item 3. Legal Proceedings We are involved in routine claims-related legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We accrue amounts resulting from claims-related legal actions in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses during the period that we determine an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and we can estimate the amounts. Management makes revisions to our estimates based on its analysis of subsequent information that we receive regarding various factors, including: (i) per claim information; (ii) company and industry historical loss experience; (iii) judicial decisions and legal developments in the awarding of damages; and (iv) trends in general economic conditions, including the effects of inflation. On August 18, 2021, Jacqueline A. Miraglia v. United Insurance Holdings Corp., and United Property & Casualty Insurance Company was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging violations and damages arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and seeks damages in an unspecified amount. On September 27, 2022, venue was transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. In November, 2022, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint styled Jacqueline A. Miraglia vs. United Insurance Holdings Corp., United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, and Skyway Claims Services, LLC, alleging violations arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. The Company denies wrongdoing and believes that an unfavorable outcome is neither probable nor estimable. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 36 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities MARKET INFORMATION Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq) under the symbol “UIHC”. HOLDERS OF COMMON EQUITY As of March 7, 2023, we had 3,763 holders of record of our common stock. The number of record holders does not include stockholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers and other nominees. DIVIDENDS During 2022, we paid a dividend of $0.06 per share of our common stock during the first quarter. While we did not pay a dividend during any other period in 2022, any future dividend payments will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our profits, financial requirements and other factors, including legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, general business conditions and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. During November 2022, we received a $26,000,000 dividend from our insurance subsidiary, ACIC. During February 2021, we received a $3,500,000 dividend from our insurance subsidiary, IIC. During February 2020, we received a $12,000,000 dividend from IIC. Under Florida law, Florida-domiciled insurers such as ACIC may not pay any dividend or distribute cash or other property to its shareholders except out of its available and accumulated surplus funds which are derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains. Additionally, Florida-domiciled insurers may not make dividend payments or distributions to shareholders without the prior approval of the insurance regulatory authority if the dividend or distribution would exceed the larger of: 1. the lesser of: a. b. 10% of the insurer’s capital surplus, or 100% of the insurer’s net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a two-year carryforward 2. 10% of the insurer’s capital surplus with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains, or 3. the lesser of: a. b. 10% of the insurer’s capital surplus, or 100% of the insurer’s net investment income plus a three-year carryforward with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains. Alternatively, ACIC may pay a dividend or distribution without the prior written approval of the insurance regulatory authority when: 1. the dividend is equal to or less than the greater of: a. 10% of the insurer’s surplus as to policyholders derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains, or 37 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. b. The insurer’s entire net operating profits and realized net capital gains derived during the immediately preceding calendar year, and: i. The insurer will have surplus as to policyholders equal to or exceeding 115% of the minimum required statutory surplus as to policyholders after the dividend or distribution is made, and ii. The insurer files a notice of the dividend or distribution with the insurance regulatory authority at least ten business days prior to the dividend payment or distribution, and iii. The notice includes a certification by an officer of the insurer attesting that, after the payment of the dividend or distribution the insurer will have at least 115% of required statutory surplus as to policyholders. Except as provided above, Florida-domiciled insurers may only pay a dividend or make a distribution (i) subject to prior approval by the insurance regulatory authority, or (ii) 30 days after the insurance regulatory authority has received notice of intent to pay such dividend or distribution and has not disapproved it within such time. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with these requirements. Under the insurance regulations of New York, a New York-domiciled insurer such as IIC may not declare or distribute any dividend to shareholders which, together with all dividends declared or distributed by it during the next preceding twelve months, exceeds: 1. the lesser of: a. 10% of the insurer’s surplus to policyholders as shown on its latest statement on file with the Superintendent, or b. 100% of “adjusted net investment income” during that period. New York law defines “adjusted net investment income” to mean net investment income for the twelve months immediately preceding the declaration or distribution of the current dividend increased by the excess, if any, of net investment income over dividends declared or distributed during the period commencing 36 months prior to the declaration or distribution of the current dividend and ending 12 months prior thereto. See Note 15 to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of restrictions on future payments of dividends by our insurance affiliates. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES During 2022, we did not have any unregistered sales of our equity securities. REPURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES During 2022, we did not repurchase any of our equity securities. 38 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The following discussion provides an analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for 2022 as compared to 2021. Discussion regarding our results of operations and financial condition for 2021 as compared to 2020 is included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties. See “Forward- Looking Statements.” OVERVIEW United Insurance Holding Corp. is a holding company primarily engaged in residential personal and commercial property and casualty insurance business with investments in the United States. During the periods presented, we conducted our business principally through three wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries: United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPC); American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC); and Interboro Insurance Company (IIC). Collectively, we refer to the holding company and all our subsidiaries, including non-insurance subsidiaries, as “UPC Insurance,” which is the preferred brand identification for our Company. With UPC in receivership effective February 27, 2023 and IIC available for sale, the Company will be moving away from the “UPC Insurance” name and re-branding in support of American Coastal’s commercial operations during 2023. Our Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from writing insurance in Florida and New York. Effective December 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of North Carolina. Effective October 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of Georgia. Effective June 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of South Carolina. Effective April 1, 2022, we no longer write in the state of Massachusetts, and effective January 15, 2022, we no longer write in the state of New Jersey. Effective January 1, 2021, we no longer write in the state of Hawaii. Effective December 1, 2021, we no longer write in the states of Connecticut or Rhode Island. We are also licensed to write property and casualty insurance in an additional six states; however, we have not commenced writing or no longer write in these states. Our target market in such areas consists of states where the perceived threat of natural catastrophe has caused large national insurance carriers to reduce their concentration of policies. We believe an opportunity exists for UPC Insurance to write profitable business in such areas. On August 25, 2022, we announced that UPC had filed plans for withdrawal in the states of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas and intended to file a plan for withdrawal in the state of New York. All filed plans entail non-renewing personal lines policies in these states. Additionally, we announced that Demotech, Inc. (Demotech), an insurance rating agency, notified UPC of its intent to withdraw UPC’s Financial Stability Rating On December 5, 2022, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) issued Consent Order No. 303643-22- CO that provides for the administrative supervision and approval of the plan of run-off for UPC (the “Consent Order”). The Consent Order provides formal approval of UPC’s Plan of Run-Off (the “Plan”) to facilitate a solvent wind down of its affairs in an orderly fashion. Additionally, in connection with the Plan, IIC has agreed to not pay ordinary dividends without the prior approval of the New York Department of Financial Services until January 1, 2025. On February 10, 2023, we announced that a solvent run-off for UPC was unlikely and on February 27, 2023, UPC was placed into receivership with the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) which divested our ownership of UPC. Our Company, together with wholly-owned subsidiaries UPC and United Insurance Management, L.C. (UIM), entered into a Renewal Rights Agreement (Southeast Renewal Agreement), dated as of December 30, 39 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. 2021 with HCPCI, pursuant to which our Company, UPC and UIM agreed to sell, and HCPCI agreed to purchase, the renewal rights to UPC’s personal lines homeowners business in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The transfer of policies is subject to regulatory approval. Effective June 1, 2022, we began the transition of South Carolina policies to HCPCI and effective October 1, 2022, we transitioned Georgia Policies in connection with our renewal rights agreement. The sale was consummated on December 30, 2021. Effective June 1, 2022, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with TypTap Insurance Company (Typtap). Under the terms of this agreement, we cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. This agreement replaces the 85% quota share agreement with Homeowners Choice Property and Casualty, Inc. (HCPCI) effective December 31, 2021. Also effective June 1, 2022, our third-party quota share reinsurance agreements were renewed to exclude these states. We will no longer retain any risk associated with these states. Our Company, together with wholly-owned subsidiaries UPC and UIM, entered into a Renewal Rights Agreement (Northeast Renewal Agreement), dated as of January 18, 2021 with HCPCI and HCI Group, Inc. (HCI), pursuant to which our Company, UPC and UIM agreed to sell, and HCPCI agreed to purchase, the renewal rights to UPC’s personal lines homeowners business in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The transfer of all states was completed as of June 30, 2022. Effective June 1, 2021, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI and TypTap Insurance Company (TypTap) in connection with the Northeast Renewal Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, we cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The cession of these policies is 50% to HCPCI and 50% to TypTap. We have historically grown our business through organic growth complemented by strategic acquisitions and partnerships, including our acquisitions of AmCo Holding Company (AmCo) and its subsidiaries, including ACIC, in April 2017, IIC in April 2016, and Family Security Holdings, LLC (FSH), including its subsidiary FSIC in February 2015, and our strategic partnership with a subsidiary of Tokio Marine Kiln Group Limited (Kiln), which formed JIC in August 2018. Effective June 1, 2022, we merged JIC into ACIC, with ACIC being the surviving entity. Effective May 31, 2022, we merged FSIC into UPC, with UPC being the surviving entity. As a result of underwriting actions implemented during 2022, as well as the transfer of Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia policies to HCPCI, our policies in-force decreased by 46.1% from 471,724 policies in-force at December 31, 2021 to 254,275 policies in-force at December 31, 2022. Our business is subject to the impact of weather-related catastrophes on our loss and loss adjustment expenses (LAE). Over the last three years, the frequency of these catastrophes has increased. As a result, we have experienced increased catastrophe losses incurred during the prior three years. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, two, seven, and thirteen named storms, respectively, made landfall in our geographic footprint, resulting in retained pre-tax catastrophe losses of $203,896,000, $35,872,000, and $208,157,000, respectively. In addition, during each of the three years we increased our loss and LAE reserves as a result of development trends from 2017’s Hurricane Irma, that indicated our ultimate gross loss estimate should be increased. The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing the consolidated financial position and results of operations of UPC Insurance. In evaluating our results of operations, we use premiums written and earned, policies in-force and new and renewal policies by geographic concentration. We also consider the impact 40 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. of catastrophe losses and prior year development on our loss ratios, expense ratios and combined ratios. In monitoring our investments, we use credit quality, investment income, cash flows, realized gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses, asset diversification and portfolio duration. To evaluate our financial condition, we consider our liquidity, financial strength, ratings, book value per share and return on equity.

(2) Expense ratio is calculated as the sum of all operating expenses less interest expense relative to net premiums earned. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our expense trends and believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately from our loss expenses. (3) Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, net and expense ratio. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our total expense trends and believes it is a key indicator for investors when evaluating the overall profitability of our business. (4) Underlying combined ratio, a measure that is not based on GAAP, is reconciled above to the combined ratio, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Form 10-K can be found in “Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures”, below. Included in both the expense ratio and the combined ratio is amortization expense predominately associated with the AmCo, IIC, and FSH acquisitions, which cause comparative differences among periods. (5) DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES We believe that investors’ understanding of UPC Insurance’s performance is enhanced by our disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. Our methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year development from the combined ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to highlight the trends in our business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their frequency of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business. Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from net loss and LAE. We use underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze our loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on our reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on our loss trends in a given period. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated Results Net loss attributable to UIHC for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $411,936,000 to $469,855,000, compared to $57,919,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net losses was primarily driven by an increase in loss & LAE expense for the year, as a result of Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane and exhausting our personal lines reinsurance coverage for the event. In addition, our provision for income taxes increased from the recognition of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset in 2022. Total revenues also decreased, driven by decreased gross written premiums and realized losses on investments, as described below. These factors were partially offset by lower policy acquisition costs and decreased ceded premium earned, as described below. 42 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Revenues Our gross written premiums decreased by $205,382,000, or 15.4%, to $1,124,063,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $1,329,445,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, driven by the transition of the Northeast business to HCPCI in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first half of 2022, and the transition of the Southeast business to HCPCI in the second half of 2022. In addition, we experienced a decline in written premiums across the personal lines business, due to underwriting actions taken throughout 2021 and 2022. The breakdown of the year-over-year changes in both direct and assumed written premiums by region and gross written premium by line of business are shown in the table below.

Ceded premiums earned decreased by $58,125,000, or 7.1%, to $760,557,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $818,682,000 for 2021. The decrease is primarily driven by a $57,134,000 decrease in ceded premiums earned from our quota share agreements. This decrease can be attributed to the transition of our 43 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Northeast and Southeast business to HCPCI, resulting in lower cessions to the associated quota share contracts in 2022. In addition, our cessions to our external contracts decreased in 2022 as the result of the decrease in personal lines gross written premium described above. Net investment income remained relatively flat in 2022, decreasing by $239,000, or 1.7%, to $14,011,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $13,772,000 for 2021. Net realized investment gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities decreased by $45,471,000, or 668.3%, to a net loss of $38,667,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from a net gain of $6,804,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, driven by $22,718,000 of impairment losses realized on the fixed maturity portfolio attributable to our personal lines operating segment. The remainder of this change can be attributed to rising interest rates and unfavorable market conditions in 2022 resulting in unrealized losses on our investment portfolio. Expenses Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $191,730,000, or 26.7%, to $910,298,000, from $718,568,000 for 2021. The increase in expenses was primarily due to an increase in loss and LAE as a result of Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane and exhausting our personal lines reinsurance coverage for the event.

Loss and LAE increased by $215,513,000, or 51.1%, to $637,647,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $422,134,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums increased 66.2 points to 137.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 71.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we experienced increased catastrophe losses as a result of the severity of Hurricane Ian in 2022. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022 prior year reserve unfavorable development was higher on both catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, our gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the year ended December 31, 2022 would have been 19.8%, a decrease of 0.1 points from 19.9% during the year ended December 31, 2021. Policy acquisition costs decreased by $17,485,000, or 10.1%, to $156,089,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $173,574,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The primary driver of the decrease in expense was a decrease in agent commissions, premium taxes and policy administration fees of $24,871,000, $4,958,000 and $4,077,000, respectively, all of which fluctuated in conjunction with the year-over- year decrease in personal lines gross written premium. This was partially offset by a $8,071,000 increase in external management fees incurred as a result of an increased volume of commercial written premium year-over- year. In addition, ceding commission income decreased $9,783,000 due to changes in the terms of our quota share reinsurance agreements. Operating and underwriting expenses decreased by $12,625,000, or 22.4%, to $43,632,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $56,257,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to decreased expenses related to our investment in technology of $10,606,000. In addition, underwriting expenses decreased $2,888,000, driven by the decrease in personal lines premiums described above. General and administrative expenses increased by $6,105,000, or 10.7%, to $63,317,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $57,212,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the impairment of goodwill attributable to our personal lines operating segment totaling $13,569,000. This was partially offset by a decrease in salary related expenses of $8,547,000 attributable to a reduction in payroll taxes attributable to an employee retention tax credit refund for taxes previously paid and recognized as an expense by the company, as well as a reduction in headcount in 2022. We experienced adverse reserve development in the current year and its historical impact on our net loss and net underlying loss ratios is outlined in the following table.

Personal Lines Operating Segment Results Pretax losses attributable to our personal lines operating segment for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $376,597,000 to a pretax loss of $481,153,000, compared to a pretax loss of $104,556,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in pretax net loss was primarily due to a $291,387,000 decrease in gross written premiums, as described below, and a $183,088,000 increase in losses and LAE during 2022, driven by the impact of Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane and exhausting our personal lines reinsurance coverage for the event. We also experienced a $29,172,000 decrease in realized investment gains, as described below. These drivers were partially offset by a $18,283,000 decrease in policy acquisition costs and $11,734,000 decrease in operating costs year-over-year, as described below. Revenues Our gross written premiums attributable to our personal lines operating segment decreased by $291,387,000, or 32.1%, to $615,820,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $907,207,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting the transition of the Northeast business to HCPCI in the fourth quarter of 2021 and first half of 2022, and the transition of the Southeast business to HCPCI in the second half of 2022. In addition, decreases across all regions are seen due to the underwriting actions taken during 2021 and 2022.

Ceded premiums earned attributable to our personal lines operating segment decreased by $66,362,000, or 11.4%, to $515,264,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $581,626,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily driven by a $65,755,000 decrease in ceded premiums earned from 46 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. our quota share agreements. This decrease can be attributed to the transition of our Northeast and Southeast business to HCPCI, resulting in lower cessions to the associated quota share contracts in 2022. In addition, our cessions to our external contracts decreased in 2022 as the result of the decrease in gross written premium described above. Net investment income attributable to our personal lines operating segment decreased by $865,000, or 9.7%, to $8,097,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $8,962,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is driven by a $3,304,000 decrease in income from our fixed maturity investment portfolio as a result of a decrease in the size of our fixed maturity portfolio in 2022. This was partially offset by increased income on our cash equivalents of $1,976,000 as a result of increased holdings, and a decrease in investment related expenses of $292,000. Net realized investment gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities attributable to our personal lines operating segment decreased by $35,555,000, or 662.5%, to a net loss of $30,188,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from a net gain of $5,367,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by $22,718,000 of impairment losses realized on our fixed maturity portfolio. The remainder of this change can be attributed to rising interest rates and unfavorable market conditions in 2022 resulting in unrealized losses on our investment portfolio still held of $4,617,000 during 2022 and realized losses on our portfolio sold during 2022 of $2,853,000. Expenses Expenses attributable to our personal lines operating segment for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $157,504,000, or 28.1%, to $717,316,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $559,812,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in expenses was primarily due to an increase in loss and LAE as a result of Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane and exhausting our personal lines reinsurance coverage for the event. This was partially offset by decreased policy acquisition and operating costs, described below. The calculations of our combined loss ratios and underlying loss ratios are shown below.

Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums increased 137.7 points to 225.9% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 88.2% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, our gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the year ended December 31, 2022 would have been 25.1%, an increase of 2.0 points from 23.1% during the year ended December 31, 2021. Policy acquisition costs attributable to our personal lines operating segment decreased by $18,283,000, or 19.6%, to $75,093,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $93,376,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The primary driver of the decrease in costs was decreased agent commissions, premium taxes, and policy administration fees of $22,455,000, $7,427,000 and $4,042,000, respectively, which fluctuated in conjunction with the year-over-year decrease in written premium described above. This was partially offset by decreased ceding commission income of $17,075,000 related primarily to our quota share reinsurance agreements. Operating and underwriting expenses attributable to our personal lines operating segment decreased by $11,734,000, or 23.0%, to $39,270,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $51,004,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to decreased expenses related to our investment in technology of $9,413,000. In addition, underwriting expenses decreased $2,692,000, driven by the decrease in written premiums described above. General and administrative expenses attributable to our personal lines operating segment increased by $4,391,000, or 9.2%, to $52,318,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $47,927,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, as the result of impairment of goodwill attributable to our personal lines operating segment of $13,569,000. This was partially offset by a decrease in salary related expenses of $9,244,000 attributable to a reduction in payroll taxes attributable to an employee retention tax credit refund for taxes previously paid and recognized as an expense by the company, as well as a reduction in headcount in 2022. Commercial Lines Operating Segment Results Pretax earnings attributable to our commercial lines operating segment for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $3,820,000 to pretax income of $35,841,000, compared to pretax income of $32,021,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in pretax earnings was primarily due to an increase in revenue driven by increased gross written premium described below. This increase was partially offset by increased loss & LAE expense for the year as a result of Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane. 48 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Revenues Our gross written premiums attributable to our commercial lines operating segment increased by $86,005,000, or 20.4%, to $508,243,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $422,238,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of rate increases on renewal business generated in the state of Florida, as we focus on increasing commercial written premiums and transitioning to a specialty commercial lines underwriter. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in premiums written in Texas and South Carolina as we are no longer writing business in these states.

Ceded premiums earned attributable to our commercial lines operating segment increased by $8,237,000 or 3.5%, to $245,293,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $237,056,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily driven by a $8,621,000 increase in ceded premiums earned from our quota share agreements, driven by the increase in gross written premium, described above resulting in increased cessions to these contracts during 2022. Net investment income attributable to our commercial lines operating segment increased by $1,097,000, or 23.0%, to $5,861,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $4,764,000 for 2021. This increase is driven by a $999,000 increase in income from our cash and cash equivalent holdings, as a result of increased holdings year-over-year. Net realized investment gains and net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities attributable to our commercial lines operating segment decreased by $9,914,000, or 689.9%, to a net loss of $8,477,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from a net gain of $1,437,000 for 2021, primarily driven by the disposal of fixed maturities to meet liquidity needs during an unfavorable price environment, resulting in realized losses of $6,511,000 in 2022. The remainder of this change can be attributed to unrealized losses as a result of unfavorable market conditions experienced in 2022. 49 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Expenses Expenses attributable to our commercial lines operating segment for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $34,256,000, or 23.2%, to $181,644,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $147,388,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in expenses was primarily due to an increase in loss and LAE as a result of Hurricane Ian making landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane.

Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums increased 8.2 points to 39.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 31.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, our gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the year ended December 31, 2022 would have been 11.1%, a decrease of 1.0 point from 12.1% during the year ended December 31, 2021. Policy acquisition costs attributable to our commercial lines operating segment remained relatively flat, increasing by $798,000, or 1.0%, to $80,996,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $80,198,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating and underwriting expenses attributable to our commercial lines operating segment decreased by $947,000, or 19.4%, to $3,926,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $4,873,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to decreased expenses related to our investment in technology of $1,164,000. 50 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. General and administrative expenses attributable to our commercial lines operating segment increased by $1,980,000, or 26.1%, to $9,579,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $7,599,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was driven by a $1,131,000 increase of allocated external fees related to legal, audit, actuarial and tax services provided during the year. In addition, we incurred an additional $698,000 in allocated salary expenses in 2022 compared to 2021. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8 in this Form 10-K. Investments The primary goals of our investment strategy are to preserve capital, maximize after-tax investment income, maintain liquidity and minimize risk. To accomplish our goals, we purchase debt securities in sectors that represent the most attractive relative value, and we maintain a moderate equity exposure. Limiting equity exposure manages risks and helps to preserve capital for two reasons: first, bond market returns are less volatile than stock market returns, and second, should the bond issuer enter bankruptcy liquidation, bondholders generally have a higher priority than equity holders in a bankruptcy proceeding. Our investment strategy is the same for both our personal lines and commercial lines operating segments. We must comply with applicable state insurance regulations that prescribe the type, quality and concentrations of investments our insurance subsidiaries can make; therefore, our current investment policy limits investment in non-investment-grade fixed maturities and limits total investment amounts in preferred stock, common stock and mortgage notes receivable. We do not invest in derivative securities. Large catastrophe losses such as Hurricane Ian in 2022 can present significant liquidity demands to the Company stemming from higher than normal frequency and severity of insurance claims. This can lead to the selling of securities that we intended to hold until maturity and realizing untimely gains or losses. Two outside asset management companies, which have authority and discretion to buy and sell securities for us, manage our investments subject to (i) the guidelines established by our Board of Directors and (ii) the direction of management. The Investment Committee of our Board of Directors reviews and approves our investment policy on a regular basis. Our cash and investment portfolios totaled $715,721,000 at December 31, 2022 compared to $964,844,000 at December 31, 2021. 51 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

Our investments at December 31, 2022 and 2021 consisted mainly of U.S. government and agency securities, states, municipalities and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities and securities of investment-grade corporate issuers. Our equity holdings in 2022 and 2021 consisted mainly of securities issued by companies in the financial, utilities and industrial sectors or mutual funds. Most of the corporate bonds we hold reflected a similar diversification. At December 31, 2022, approximately 84.4% of our fixed maturities were U.S. Treasuries, or corporate bonds rated “A” or better, and 15.6% were corporate bonds rated “BBB” or “BB”. During the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of UPC’s plan of run-off, management determined that it was more likely than not that we would be required to sell a portion or all of our fixed-income securities attributable to the entity before recovery of their amortized cost basis. These securities were evaluated and none of the unrealized loss position was the result of a credit loss. As a result, we realized impairment losses of $22,718,000 on these securities. Total shareholders’ equity (deficit) was not impacted by such charge; however, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 worsened and other comprehensive income improved by $22,718,000, before tax impacts, in offsetting amounts. The remainder of our fixed-income securities remain in an unrealized position as of December 31, 2022, with net unrealized losses on the portfolio totaling $33,054,000 as of December 31, 2022. The most significant impact of COVID-19 on our business occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, where we saw fluctuations in our investment portfolio due to volatility in the equity securities markets that we were unable to predict. During the second half of the year ended December 31, 2020, we decreased our equity portfolio from 9.1% of our total invested assets (including cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents) at June 30, 2020 to 0.6% of our total invested assets (including cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 52 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. 2020. As a result of this decrease, we experienced a decreased impact from fluctuations in the equity securities markets on our financial statements for the second half of the year ended December 31, 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, we began to increase our investments in the equities market. Management is working closely with our investment managers to monitor the fluctuations in the markets and the corresponding impact to our portfolios. Reinsurance We follow industry practice of reinsuring a portion of our risks. Reinsurance involves transferring, or “ceding”, all or a portion of the risk exposure on policies we write to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that our reinsurers are unable to meet the obligations they assume under our reinsurance agreements, we remain primarily liable for the entire insured loss under the policies we write. Our reinsurance program is designed, utilizing our risk management methodology, to address our exposure to catastrophes. According to the Insurance Service Office (ISO), a catastrophe loss is defined as a single unpredictable incident or series of closely related incidents that result in $25,000,000 or more in U.S. industry- wide direct insured losses to property and that affect a significant number of policyholders and insurers (ISO catastrophes). In addition to ISO catastrophes, we also include as catastrophes those events (non-ISO catastrophes), which may include losses, that we believe are, or will be, material to our operations which we define as incidents that result in $1,000,000 or more in losses for multiple policyholders. During the second quarter of 2022, we placed our reinsurance program for the 2022 hurricane season. We purchased catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance protection of $2,500,000,000 in the aggregate. The treaties reinsure personal and commercial lines property excess catastrophe losses caused by multiple perils including hurricanes and tropical storms. The agreements were effective as of June 1, 2022, for a one-year term and incorporate the mandatory coverage required by and placed with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) and coverage required under the Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders Program (RAP Program). The FHCF and RAP Program covers Florida risks only and we participate at 90%. Under our core catastrophe excess of loss treaty, retention on a first and second event is $16,400,000. During the third quarter, one of our reinsurer’s participating on the $25,000,000 excess of $20,000,000 layer of the core catastrophe program exercised a contractual right to terminate their participation due to Demotech’s downgrade of UPC’s Financial Stability Rating. We were unsuccessful in replacing this coverage in the open market so our captive reinsurer, UPC Re, stepped into the $25,000,000 excess of $20,000,000 layer which was subsequently impacted by Hurricane Ian resulting in an additional retained loss of $20,100,000 million. The exhaustion point of IIC’s catastrophe reinsurance program is approximately $200,000,000 in the aggregate, with a retention of $3,000,000 per occurrence, covering all perils. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company’s core catastrophe reinsurance program was impacted by Hurricane Ian. As a result, the Company has approximately $508 million of occurrence limit remaining for Ian, all of which is attributable to ACIC only. After reinstatement premiums of approximately $15.4 million, the Company has approximately $993 million of aggregate limit remaining after Ian, based on our estimated ultimate net loss subject to the core catastrophe reinsurance program. Effective December 13, 2021, we renewed our all other perils (AOP) catastrophe excess of loss agreement. The agreement provides protection from catastrophe loss events other than named windstorms and earthquakes up to $110,000,000. During the third quarter of 2022, one of our private reinsurers who held a 100% share of the $15,000,000 in excess of $15,000,000 layer on our all other perils catastrophe excess of loss agreement notified us of their intent to terminate the agreement due to the contractual provision regarding the change in UPC’s statutory surplus being greater than 25%. We agreed to a termination and commutation date of September 30, 2022 for this 53 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. contract. This change resulted in approximately $1,300,000 of ceded premium savings that would have otherwise been due in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the Company retaining all the risk for any non-hurricane catastrophe losses up to $30,000,000, excluding any quota share recoveries.

Shown net of losses ceded to reinsurers. Incurred loss and LAE and number of events includes the development on storms during the year in which it occurred. See Note 9 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our reinsurance program. Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustments We generally use the term “loss(es)” to collectively refer to both loss and LAE. We establish reserves for both reported and unreported unpaid losses that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date for amounts we estimate we will be required to pay in the future, including provisions for claims that have been reported but are unpaid at the balance sheet date and for obligations on claims that have been incurred but not reported at the balance sheet date. Our policy is to establish these loss reserves after considering all information known to us at each reporting period. At any given point in time, our loss reserve represents our best estimate of the ultimate settlement and administration costs of our insured claims incurred and unpaid. Unpaid losses and LAE totaled $1,946,938,000 and $1,084,450,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of this total, $816,489,000 and $230,377,000 is related to our commercial lines operating segment, respectively. The remaining $1,130,449,000 and $854,073,000 is related to our personal lines operating segment, respectively. On a consolidated basis, this balance has increased year over year, driven by Hurricane Ian which made landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane during the third quarter of 2022. While we did have a higher frequency of storms in 2021, the severity of Hurricane Ian resulted in a year over year increase. Reinsurance recoverables also increased year over year due to the cession of these Hurricane Ian losses to our core catastrophe reinsurance program. 59 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Since the process of estimating loss reserves requires significant judgment due to a number of variables, such as fluctuations in inflation, judicial decisions, legislative changes and changes in claims handling procedures, our ultimate liability will likely differ from these estimates. We revise our reserve for unpaid losses as additional information becomes available, and reflect adjustments, if any, in our earnings in the periods in which we determine the adjustments as necessary. See Note 10 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our losses and LAE. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We generate cash through premium collections, reinsurance recoveries, investment income, the sale or maturity of invested assets, the issuance of debt and the issuance of additional shares of our stock. We use our cash to pay reinsurance premiums, claims and related costs, policy acquisition costs, salaries and employee benefits, other expenses and stockholder dividends, acquire subsidiaries and pay associated costs, as well as to repay debts and purchase investments. As a holding company, we do not conduct any business operations of our own and, as a result, we rely on cash dividends or intercompany loans from our management subsidiaries to pay our general and administrative expenses. Insurance regulatory authorities heavily regulate our insurance subsidiaries, including restricting any dividends paid by our insurance subsidiaries and requiring approval of any management fees our insurance subsidiaries pay to our management subsidiaries for services rendered; however, nothing restricts our non-insurance company subsidiaries from paying us dividends other than state corporate laws regarding solvency. Our management subsidiaries pay us dividends primarily using cash from the collection of management fees from our insurance subsidiaries, pursuant to the management agreements in effect between those entities. In accordance with state laws, our insurance subsidiaries may pay dividends or make distributions out of that part of their statutory surplus derived from their net operating profit and their net realized capital gains. The RBC guidelines published by the NAIC may further restrict our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make distributions if the amount of the intended dividend or distribution would cause their respective surplus as it regards policyholders to fall below minimum RBC guidelines. See Note 15 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 5 for additional information. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we contributed $81,000,000 and $11,200,000 to our insurance subsidiaries, UPC and FSIC, respectively. The contribution made to FSIC was made prior to the merging of FSIC into UPC. In addition, we contributed $9,574,000 to our reinsurance subsidiary, UPC Re. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we contributed $17,000,000, $8,000,000 and $17,500,000 to our insurance subsidiaries, UPC, FSIC, and ACIC, respectively. We may make future contributions of capital to our insurance subsidiaries as circumstances require. During 2022, we received a dividend of $26,000,000 from ACIC. During February 2021, we received a dividend of $3,500,000 from IIC. During February 2020, we received a dividend of $12,000,000 from IIC. On December 13, 2017, we issued $150,000,000 of senior notes (Senior Notes) that will mature on December 15, 2027 and bear interest at a rate equal to 6.25% per annum payable semi-annually on each June 15 and December 15, commencing June 15, 2018. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. We may redeem the Senior Notes at our option, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon from the date of redemption to the date that is three months prior to maturity. On and after that date, we may redeem 60 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. the Senior Notes at par. On December 8, 2022, the Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC announced a downgrade of our issuer and debt ratings BBB- to BB+. As a result, pursuant to our agreement, the interest rate of our Senior notes increased from 6.25% to 7.25% effective on the next Interest Payment date of June 15, 2023. As a result of claim activity from the current and prior years, we have an obligation related to the unpaid policyholder losses and unpaid loss adjustment expenses associated with the settling of these claims. As of December 31, 2022, our total obligation related to these claim payments was $1,946,938,000, of which we estimate $874,255,000 to be short-term in nature (due in less than twelve months), based upon our cumulative claims paid over the last 22 years. While we believe that historical performance of loss payment patterns is a reasonable source for projecting future claim payments, there is inherent uncertainty in this estimated projected settlement, and as a result these estimates will differ, perhaps significantly, from actual future payments. In addition to our unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, as of December 31, 2022 we have outstanding debt obligations related to our notes payable totaling $154,118,000. This is exclusive of interest costs, which we estimate will total $54,669,000 over the life of the debt, based on the current fixed and variable interest rates of these notes. Our short-term obligation related to these notes payable total $1,176,000 in principal payments and $11,015,000 in estimated interest payments. For more information regarding these outstanding notes, please see Note 11. In connection with entering into contracts with our outside vendors, we have minimum obligations due to our vendors over the life of the contracts. Our main vendor obligations are related to underwriting tools, claims and policy administration systems, and software used by our information technology department in their daily operations. Our total obligation related to these three categories of obligations are $1,285,000, $2,200,000, and $6,250,000, respectively. Of these obligations, $597,000, $1,763,000, and $1,250,000, respectively are short- term in nature. As described in Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements below, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liability and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Management’s strategic plans include the following: • Working with the DFS to finalize a memorandum of understanding on how to allocate all shared reinsurance recoveries between UPCIC and ACIC; • • Providing additional information to our rating agencies for the affirmation of the Company’s current financial ratings; Successfully renewing our catastrophe reinsurance programs for ACIC and IIC effective June 1, 2023; and • Exploring raising additional capital for ACIC, including in the form of surplus note contributions, to strengthen its statutory risk-based capital if necessary. If the Company is unable to implement these actions, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary amounts of additional capital to continue as a going concern. As of the date of this report we do not have any commitments from any source to provide such additional capital. Even if we are able to secure 61 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. debt or equity financing, it may be unavailable in the amounts or time when we require. Furthermore, such financing would likely take the form of bank loans, surplus notes, private placement of debt or equity securities or some combination of these. The issuance of additional equity securities would dilute the stock ownership of current investors while incurring loans, surplus notes or other debt would increase our capital requirements and a possible loss of valuable assets if such obligations were not repaid in accordance with their terms. Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, (in millions) Operating Investing Financing $236.8 $251.4 $36.6 $(10.5) $(173.1) $(12.2) $(11.7) 2022 $(295.4) 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 $(25.4) 2022 2021 2020 Operating Activities The principal cash inflows from our operating activities come from premium collections, reinsurance recoveries and investment income. The principal cash outflows from our operating activities are the result of claims and related costs, reinsurance premiums, policy acquisition costs and salaries and employee benefits. A primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash flows is the risk of large magnitude catastrophe events. During the year ended December 31, 2022, several balance sheet items were impacted by Hurricane Ian, which made landfall in the state of Florida as a category four hurricane. Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense increased during the period, driven by the severity of Hurricane Ian. This was partially offset by increased reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses during the period, as these losses were ceded to our core catastrophe reinsurance contracts. However, the severity of Hurricane Ian resulted in the exhausting of our personal lines operating segment reinsurance coverage for the event, resulting in a net increase of $228,240,000 year-over-year. In addition to this event, unearned premiums, ceded unearned premiums, and reinsurance payable on premiums all decreased year over year, driven by the transition of our northeast and southeast business in 2022, and continued underwriting actions taken in 2022. These actions resulted in lower gross written premiums and premiums ceded to our quota share contracts. Investing Activities The principal cash inflows from our investing activities come from repayments of principal, proceeds from maturities and sales of investments. We closely monitor and manage these risks through our comprehensive investment risk management process. The principal cash outflows relate to purchases of investments and cost of property, equipment and capitalized software acquired. Additional cash outflows relate to the purchase of fixed assets. The primary liquidity concerns with respect to these cash flows are the risk of default by debtors and market disruption. During the year ended December 31, 2022, cash provided by investing activities decreased 62 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. $14,562,000 as the result of net sales of investments totaling $218,646,000 in 2022, compared to $256,648,000 in 2021. This was partially offset by $21,236,000 in proceeds from the sale of assets in 2022. Financing Activities The principal cash inflows from our financing activities come from issuances of debt and other securities. The principal cash outflows come from repayments of debt and payments of dividends. The primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash flows is market disruption in the cost and availability of credit. We believe our current capital resources, together with cash provided from our operations, are sufficient to meet currently anticipated working capital requirements. During the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in financing activities increased by $13,184,000 due to a return of capital to Kiln of $18,335,000 as a result of the stock re-purchase agreement and termination agreements effective June 30, 2022. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2022 we repaid our Truist note in full, resulting in a $3,004,000 increase in repayments for the year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in dividend payments of $7,761,000 since no dividends were declared in the second, third or fourth quarter of 2022. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Please refer to Note 2(u) in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting standards that may affect us. APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The most critical estimates include those used in determining: • • • • reserves for unpaid losses, fair value of investments, investment portfolio credit allowances, and goodwill. In making these determinations, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common in the insurance industry. It is reasonably likely that changes in these estimates could occur from time to time and result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP prescribes when we may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, our results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when we establish a reserve for a major contingency. Therefore, the results we report in certain accounting periods may appear to be volatile and past results may not be indicative of results in future periods. Reserves for Unpaid Losses and LAE Reserves for unpaid losses and LAE represent the most significant accounting estimate inherent in the preparation of our financial statements. These reserves represent management’s best estimate of the amount we will ultimately pay for losses and we base the amount upon the application of various actuarial reserve estimation techniques as well as considering other material facts and circumstances known at the balance sheet date. 63 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. As discussed in Note 10 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we determine our ultimate losses by using multiple actuarial methods to determine an actuarial estimate within a relevant range of indications that we calculate using generally accepted actuarial techniques. Our selection of the actuarial estimate is influenced by the analysis of our historical loss and claims experience since inception. For each accident year, we estimate the ultimate incurred losses for both reported and unreported claims. In establishing this estimate, we reviewed the results of various actuarial methods discussed in Note 10 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2022, very little paid loss or case loss information was available related to Hurricane Ian. As a result, actuarial methodologies relied upon catastrophe model estimates as provided by catastrophe model vendors. The Company selected within the reasonable range of catastrophe model estimates at September 30, 2022. However, as of December 31, 2022, paid loss and case loss information was sufficient to establish additional methodologies, including paid loss & loss adjustment expense development, reported loss & loss adjustment expense development, case reserve development, claims decay analysis, paid loss and allocated loss adjustment expense B-F method, and reported loss & loss adjustment expense B-F method. These additional methodologies at December 31, 2022 supplemented the original catastrophe model estimates and pointed to a larger range of outcomes than considered at September 30, 2022. The Company adjusted the selection at December 31, 2022 in consideration of the larger range considering all available methodologies. Fair Value of Investments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We are responsible for the determination of fair value of financial assets and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. We use quoted prices from active markets and we use an independent third-party valuation service to assist us in determining fair value. We obtain only one single quote or price for each financial instrument. As discussed in Note 4 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we value our investments at fair value using quoted prices from active markets, to the extent available. For securities for which quoted prices in active markets are unavailable, we use observable inputs such as quoted prices in inactive markets, quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, benchmark interest rates, broker quotes and other relevant inputs. We also have investments in limited partnerships that require us to use the net asset value per share method of valuation to determine fair value. See “Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for more information regarding the sensitivity of our fixed maturity portfolio to changes in interest rates. Investment Portfolio Credit Allowances For investments classified as available for sale, the difference between fair value and cost or amortized cost for fixed income securities is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and is not reflected in our net loss of any period until reclassified to net loss upon the consummation of a transaction with an unrelated third party. We have a portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income security whose carrying value may be impaired as the result of a credit loss. For each fixed-income security in an unrealized loss position, if we determine that we intend to sell the security or that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost or amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity needs, contractual or regulatory requirements, the security’s entire decline in fair value is recorded in earnings. 64 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. If our management decides not to sell the fixed-income security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the fixed-income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This is typically indicated by a change in the rating of the security assigned by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security or industry, among other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded in earnings. Credit loss is limited to the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive loss. If the estimated recovery value is less than the amortized cost of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for the difference between the estimated recovery value and amortized cost is recorded in earnings. The portion of the unrealized loss related to factors other than credit remains classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss. If we determine that the fixed income security does not have sufficient cash flow or other information to estimate a recovery value for the security, we may conclude that the entire decline in fair value is deemed to be credit related and the loss is recorded in earnings. Due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) as of January 1, 2018, equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value, including impairment write-downs, being recognized in the revenue section of our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. See Note 2(b) in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our credit loss testing. Measurement of Goodwill and Related Impairment Goodwill is the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. We test goodwill for impairment by performing a quantitative assessment. Goodwill is impaired when it is determined that the carrying value of a reporting segment is in excess of the fair value of that reporting segment. The valuation methodologies utilized are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change. Estimates of fair value are inherently uncertain and represent only management’s reasonable expectation regarding future developments. Please refer to Note 2(k) and Note 8 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our measurement of Goodwill and Related Impairment. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS There were no related party transactions for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Our investment objective is to preserve capital, maximize after-tax investment income, maintain liquidity and minimize risk. Our current investment policy limits investment in non-investment grade debt securities, and limits total investments in preferred stock, common stock and mortgage notes receivables. We also comply with applicable laws and regulations that further restrict the type, quality and concentration of our investments. 65 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. In general, these laws and regulations permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, and preferred and common equity securities. Our investment policy was established by the Investment Committee of our Board of Directors and is reviewed regularly. Pursuant to this investment policy, our fixed-maturity portfolio is classified as available for sale and we report any unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive loss within our stockholders’ equity (deficit). We do not hold any securities that are classified as held to maturity and we do not hold any securities for trading or speculation. We do not utilize any swaps, options, futures or forward contracts to hedge or enhance our investment portfolio. The unrealized gains or losses related to our equity securities are recorded on the income statement per the guidance in ASU 2016-01. INTEREST RATE RISK Fixed-income securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. We manage the risk by analyzing anticipated movements in interest rates and considering our future capital and liquidity requirements. The following table illustrates the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the fair value of our fixed-income securities at December 31, 2022 and 2021: Hypothetical Change in Interest Rates 2022 300 basis point increase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 200 basis point increase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 basis point increase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Based on our analysis, a 300-basis point decrease or increase in interest rates from the December 31, 2022 rates would have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the event divesting of these holdings was necessary. However, we do not anticipate the need to sell securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2022. In line with the anticipated LIBOR phase out, the last 66 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. one-week and two-month LIBOR settings were published on December 31, 2021. However, the Intercontinental Exchange will continue to publish one-month, three-month, six-month and twelve-month LIBOR settings through 2023. We are unable to predict the use of alternate reference rates and corresponding interest rate risk at this time. CREDIT RISK Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer of our fixed-maturity securities. We mitigate this risk by generally investing in investment grade securities and by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or market sector.

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to us. We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentrations of credit risk to minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. We also are exposed to credit risk through our outstanding premiums receivable balances. We evaluate the age of our premium receivables to minimize our exposure to significant losses due to nonpayment. After our evaluation of all credit risks described above, if we feel it is necessary, we record a credit loss allowance to address these credit risks. For more information regarding our credit loss allowance, please refer to Note 13. 67 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. EQUITY PRICE RISK Our equity investment portfolio at December 31, 2022 consisted of common stocks and non-redeemable preferred stocks. We may incur potential losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices. We manage this risk primarily through industry and issuer diversification and asset allocation techniques. During 2022, we increased our equity portfolio from 5.4% of our total investments (excluding cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2021 to 9.0% of our total investments (excluding cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2022.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of United Insurance Holdings Corp. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Insurance Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant underwriting losses and no longer controls or consolidates United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“UPC”) subsequent to February 27, 2023. There is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to obtain existing reinsurance recoveries and the subsequent placement of reinsurance contracts. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 69 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 20 to the financial statements, on February 27, 2023, UPC was ordered into receivership for purposes of liquidation, with the Florida Department of Financial Services appointed as the receiver, which deconsolidated UPC from the group. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. LIABILITY FOR UNPAID LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE (LAE)- Refer to Notes 2 and 10 to the Financial Statements Critical Audit Matter Description As a provider of both residential and commercial property and casualty insurance, the Company establishes reserves for both reported and unreported unpaid losses that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date for amounts estimated which they will be required to pay in the future, including provisions for claims that have been reported but are unpaid at the balance sheet date and for obligations on claims that have been incurred but not reported at the balance sheet date (herein “loss reserves”). Due to the nature and unpredictability in both the severity and frequency of these events and their related claims, the Company uses a significant amount of judgment in estimating the loss reserves, including analyzing historical and industry loss data, claims frequency and severity, claims processing procedures, legislative enactments, judicial decisions and legal developments in imposition of damages, and general economic conditions, including inflation. Additionally, the Company engages independent actuarial specialists in order to assist management in establishing appropriate loss reserves. Given the subjectivity of estimating the projected losses to be incurred by the Company as it relates to both reported and unreported claims, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether the Company’s loss reserves were appropriately recorded as of December 31, 2022, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our actuarial specialists. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the loss reserves included the following, among others: We tested the effectiveness of controls related to loss reserves, including management’s controls over the projection of settlement value of reported and unreported claims. We evaluated the methods and assumptions used by management to estimate the loss reserves by: Testing the underlying data that served as the basis for the actuarial analysis, including historical claims, to test that the inputs to the actuarial estimate were reasonable. 70 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Holding discussions with management to discuss the Company’s ultimate recorded reserve actions and understand any trends that have been observed in the Company’s claims data. Comparing management’s prior-year assumptions of expected development and ultimate loss to actuals incurred during the current year to identify potential bias in the determination of the loss reserves. With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we developed independent estimates of the loss reserves, including loss data, significant drivers, and claim development factors, and compared our estimates to management’s estimates. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Tampa, Florida April 17, 2023 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018. 71 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 1) ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION (a) Business United Insurance Holdings Corp. (referred to in this document as we, our, us, the Company or UPC Insurance) is a property and casualty insurance holding company that sources, writes and services residential personal and commercial property and casualty insurance policies using a network of agents and wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. Our original insurance subsidiary is United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPC), which was formed in Florida in 1999. Our two other insurance subsidiaries are Interboro Insurance Company (IIC), acquired via merger on April 29, 2016; and American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC), acquired via merger on April 3, 2017. Our other subsidiaries include United Insurance Management, L.C. (UIM), a managing general agent that manages substantially all aspects of UPC’s business; Skyway Claims Services, LLC, which provides claims adjusting services to UPC, and ACIC; AmCo Holding Company, LLC (AmCo), which is a holding company subsidiary that consolidates its respective insurance company; BlueLine Cayman Holdings (BlueLine), which reinsures portfolios of excess and surplus policies; UPC Re, which provides a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance subsidiaries when needed; Skyway Reinsurance Services, LLC, which provides reinsurance brokerage services for our insurance companies; Skyway Legal Services, LLC, which provides claims litigation services to our insurance companies; and Skyway Technologies, LLC, a managing general agent that provides technological and distribution services to our insurance companies. Our primary products are homeowners’ and commercial residential property insurance. In 2022 we offered personal residential insurance in six states, under authorization from the insurance regulatory authorities in each state. In addition, we write commercial residential insurance in Florida. During 2022, we also wrote commercial residential insurance in South Carolina, and Texas, however, effective May 1, 2022, we no longer write in these states. We are also licensed to write property and casualty insurance in an additional twelve states; however, we have not commenced writing or no longer write in these states. On August 25, 2022, we announced that UPC had filed plans for withdrawal in the states of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas and intended to file a plan for withdrawal in the state of New York. All filed plans entail non-renewing personal lines policies in these states. Additionally, we announced that Demotech, Inc. (Demotech), an insurance rating agency, notified UPC of its intent to withdraw UPC’s Financial Stability Rating. On December 5, 2022, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“FLOIR”) issued Consent Order No. 303643-22- CO that provides for the administrative supervision and approval of the plan of run-off for UPC (the “Consent Order”). The Consent Order provides formal approval of UPC’s Plan of Run-Off (the “Plan”) to facilitate a solvent wind down of its affairs in an orderly fashion. Additionally, in connection with the Plan, IIC has agreed to not pay ordinary dividends without the prior approval of the New York Department of Financial Services until January 1, 2025. On February 10, 2023, we announced that a solvent run-off of UPC was unlikely and on February 27, 2023, UPC was placed into receivership with the Florida Department of Financial Services which divested our ownership of UPC. Effective June 1, 2022, we merged our majority-owned insurance subsidiary, Journey Insurance Company (JIC) into ACIC, with ACIC being the surviving entity. JIC was formed in strategic partnership with a subsidiary of Tokio Marine Kiln Group Limited (Kiln) on August 30, 2018, and operated independently from ACIC prior to the merging of the entities. The Kiln subsidiary held a noncontrolling interest in JIC, which was terminated prior to the merger. 76 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 Effective June 1, 2022, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with TypTap Insurance Company (Typtap). Under the terms of this agreement, we cede 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Effective June 1, 2022, we began the transition of South Carolina policies to Homeowners Choice Property and Casualty, Inc (HCPCI) in connection with our renewal rights agreement. Effective October 1, 2022, transitioned Georgia policies to HCPCI in connection with our renewal rights agreement. Effective December 1, 2022, we began the transition of North Carolina policies to HCPCI in connection with our renewal rights agreement. As a result, these policies will no longer be covered under this agreement upon their renewal. This agreement replaces the 85% quota share agreement with HCPCI effective December 31, 2021. Effective May 31, 2022, we merged Family Security Insurance Company, Inc. (FSIC) into UPC, with UPC being the surviving entity. FSIC was acquired via merger on February 3, 2015, and operated independently from UPC prior to the merging of the entities. In conjunction with the merger, we dissolved Family Security Holdings (FSH), a holding company subsidiary that consolidated its respective insurance company, FSIC. Effective June 1, 2021, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with HCPCI and TypTap. Under the terms of this agreement, we ceded 100% of our in-force, new, and renewal policies in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The cession of these policies was 50% to HCPCI and 50% to TypTap. HCPCI is responsible for processing all claims as a part of this agreement. As of April 1, 2022, we completed the transition of all policies in these four states to HCPCI in connection with our renewal rights agreement (Northeast Renewal Agreement) to sell UPC’s personal lines homeowners business in these states. We conduct our operations under two reportable segments, personal residential property and casualty insurance policies and commercial residential property and casualty insurance policies. Our chief operating decision maker is our President, who makes decisions to allocate resources and assesses performance at both segment levels as well as the corporate level. (b) Consolidation and Presentation We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). While preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reported amounts that require us to make extensive use of estimates include our reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, investments and goodwill. Except for the captions on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, we generally use the term loss(es) to collectively refer to both loss and loss adjustment expenses. We include all of our subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements, eliminating intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation. (c) Going Concern In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required under ASC 205-40, management’s evaluation should initially not take into 77 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. In performing this evaluation, we concluded that under the standards of ASC 205-40 the following conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern: (1) the ability to obtain reinsurance recoveries allocated to ACIC under the catastrophe treaties covering Hurricane Ian where ACIC’s affiliate, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“UPC”) is also a party, and (2) the ability to obtain adequate reinsurance to meet the requirements of the FLOIR and Demotech, the rating agency, for future reinsurance periods. Upon completion of the Company’s year-end review of unpaid loss and loss adjustment reserves with our independent actuarial firm, our insurance entity, UPC, increased its gross loss estimate related to Hurricane Ian to $864 million. UPC’s loss estimate of $864 million fully exhausts all reinsurance available to UPC for this specific event, based on the reinsurance allocation agreement discussed below. As a result of this development, the Company immediately notified the FLOIR that UPC was expected to be insolvent as of December 31, 2022. On February 27, 2023, UPC was ordered into receivership for purposes of liquidation, with the Florida Department of Financial Services (the “DFS”) appointed as the receiver, which deconsolidated UPC from the group. The Company’s other insurance subsidiaries are not parties to the receivership and continue to operate. However, ACIC’s catastrophe reinsurance coverage is a part of a combined reinsurance program with UPC. To properly allocate the reinsurance recoverables under the shared catastrophe treaties, UPC and ACIC entered a reinsurance allocation agreement that became effective on June 1, 2022 (the “Allocation Agreement”). The Allocation Agreement was filed with and approved by the FLOIR on December 5, 2022. However, ACIC now believes there is uncertainty regarding the timing of receipt of both recoveries currently held by UPC that are allocated to ACIC and future recoverables now that UPC has been placed into receivership. As of December 31, 2022, UPC held recoveries due to ACIC totaling $31,306,000. On April 5, 2023, the Company filed a Motion for Release of Property of ACIC in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit for Leon County, Florida, requesting that UPC immediately remit to ACIC reinsurance recoveries currently held by UPC and reinsurance recoveries recovered by UPC in the future in accordance with the Company’s Allocation Agreement. Alternatively, ACIC requested reinsurance recoveries remitted to UPC be placed into a segregated account for future reconciliation and remittance to ACIC. On April 13, 2023, the DFS filed a response to the Company’s motion, objecting to ACIC’s position. On April 14, 2023, the Court denied ACIC’s motion without prejudice. As a result of the foregoing, management believes substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2022, ACIC calculates it is due approximately $273 million from the private reinsurance program described above in accordance with the Allocation Agreement approved by the FLOIR, related to its ultimate gross Hurricane Ian loss. To the extent that these reinsurance recoverables are not received timely and treated as a nonadmitted asset of ACIC, which would be excluded from regulatory capital and surplus, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to continue to operate. Management believes that the ability for ACIC to obtain adequate reinsurance to meet its needs for the June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 catastrophe cover can only be accomplished assuming that recoveries due to ACIC pursuant to the Allocation Agreement can be 78 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 resolved in short order. Such conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of the financial statements. The Company intends to continue to work towards a fair and equitable resolution regarding these recoveries, however no assurance can be given that it will receive all or any portion of the reinsurance recoverables that it believes are due to ACIC. (d) Impact of COVID-19 and Financial Status We did not experience a material impact from COVID-19 on our business operations, financial position, liquidity or our ability to service our policyholders during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions did not have a material impact on our access to credit and capital markets needed to maintain sufficient liquidity for our continued operating needs during the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2021 we implemented our new flexible work policy. This policy allows all employees to work remotely permanently, with the return to our offices being completely voluntary at this time. We will continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and take reasonable measures to make sure customers continue to be served without interruption. 2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash Our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash include demand deposits with financial institutions, cash that is held in trust for assumed business, cash held in deposit accounts to satisfy state statutory deposit requirements, and short-term, highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. (b) Investments We currently classify all of our investments in fixed maturities and short-term investments as available-for-sale, and report them, our equity securities and limited partnership investments at fair value. Subsequent to our acquisition of available-for-sale securities, we record changes in value through the date of disposition as unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax effects, and include them as a component of comprehensive loss. We include realized gains and losses, which we calculate using the specific-identification method for determining the cost of securities sold, in net loss. We amortize any premium or discount on fixed maturities over the remaining maturity period of the related securities using the effective interest method, and we report the amortization in net investment income. We recognize dividends and interest income when earned. Quarterly, we perform an assessment of our investments to determine if any are impaired as the result of a credit loss. An investment is impaired when the fair value of the investment declines to an amount less than the cost or amortized cost of that investment. For each fixed-income security in an unrealized loss position, if we determine that we intend to sell the security or that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost or amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity needs, contractual or regulatory requirements, the security’s entire decline in fair value is recorded in earnings. If our management decides not to sell the fixed-income security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the fixed-income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This is typically indicated by a change in 79 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 the rating of the security assigned by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security or industry, among other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded in earnings. Credit loss is limited to the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive loss. A large portion of our investment portfolio consists of fixed maturities, which may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates as a result of governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. A rise in interest rates would decrease the net unrealized holding gains of our investment portfolio, offset by our ability to earn higher rates of return on funds reinvested. Conversely, a decline in interest rates would increase the net unrealized holding gains of our investment portfolio, offset by lower rates of return on funds reinvested. During the year ended December 31, 2022, management determined that it was more likely than not that we would be required to sell a portion of our fixed-income securities attributable to our personal lines operating segment before recovery of their amortized cost basis. These securities were evaluated and none of the unrealized loss position was the result of a credit loss. As a result, we realized impairment losses of $22,718,000 on these securities, before tax impacts. Total shareholders’ equity (deficit) was not impacted by such charge; however, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 worsened and other comprehensive income improved by $22,718,000 in offsetting amounts. (c) Fair Value See Note 4 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion regarding the fair value measurement of our investments at December 31, 2022 and 2021. (d) Allowance for Expected Credit Losses See Note 13 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion regarding the allowance for expected credit losses at December 31, 2022 and 2021. (e) Premiums We recognize premiums as revenue, net of ceded reinsurance amounts, on a daily pro rata basis over the contract period of the related policies that are in force. For any portion of premiums not earned at the end of the reporting period, we record an unearned premium liability. Premiums receivable represents amounts due from our policyholders for billed premiums and related policy fees. We perform a policy-level evaluation to determine the extent to which the balance of premium receivable exceeds the balance of unearned premium. We then estimate expected credit losses based on historical trends, average default rates, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Once these conditions have been examined, we establish an allowance for credit losses for any amounts not expected to be collected. When we receive payments on amounts previously charged off, we credit our expected credit loss expense in the period we receive the payment. The balances of our allowance for uncollectible premiums totaled $69,000 and $32,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 80 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 When we receive premium payments from policyholders prior to the effective date of the related policy, we record an advance premiums liability. On the policy effective date, we reduce the advance premiums liability and record the premiums as described above. (f) Policy Acquisition Costs We incur policy acquisition costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the production of new business. We capitalize policy acquisition costs to the extent recoverable, then we amortize those costs over the contract period of the related policy. Such costs include, but are not limited to: incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions; premium taxes; and other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a policy not been acquired or renewed. At each reporting date, we determine whether we have a premium deficiency. A premium deficiency would result if the sum of our expected losses, deferred policy acquisition costs, reinsurance costs, and policy maintenance costs (such as costs to store records and costs incurred to collect premiums and pay commissions) exceeded our related unearned premiums plus investment income. Should we determine that a premium deficiency exists, we would write off the unrecoverable portion of deferred policy acquisition costs and record a liability to the extent the deficiency exceeded the deferred policy acquisition costs. At December 31, 2022, our insurance subsidiary UPC was determined to have a premium deficiency. As a result, we expensed $20,173,000 in deferred policy acquisition costs, which was the excess of what we expect to recover. We did not have a premium deficiency at December 31, 2021. (g) Debt Issuance Costs We record our debt issuance costs associated with a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability. These costs are then amortized over the life of the liability using the effective interest method. (h) Long-lived Assets i) Property and Equipment We record our property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We use the straight-line method of calculating depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We periodically review estimated useful lives and, where appropriate, we make changes prospectively. We charge maintenance and repair costs to expense as incurred. ii) Capitalized Software We capitalize certain direct development costs associated with internal-use software. We amortize the capitalized software costs related to our data warehouse, claims systems and policy administration systems over their expected seven-year useful lives. See Note 7 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our property, equipment and capitalized software that were held during 2022 and 2021. iii) Impairment of Long-lived Assets We annually review our long-lived assets, or more frequently when impairment indicators exist, including intangible assets, to determine if their carrying amounts are recoverable. If the non-discounted future cash flows 81 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets are less than their carrying amounts, we reduce their carrying amounts to fair value and recognize an impairment loss. (i) Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Our reserves for unpaid losses represent the estimated ultimate cost of settling all reported claims plus all claims we incurred related to insured events that have occurred as of the reporting date, but that policyholders have not yet reported to us. We estimate our reserves for unpaid losses using individual case-basis estimates for reported claims and actuarial estimates for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims, and we continually review and adjust our estimated losses as necessary based on our historical experience and as we obtain new information. If our unpaid loss reserves prove to be deficient or redundant, we increase or decrease the liability in the period in which we identify the difference, thereby impacting net loss. Though our estimate of the ultimate cost of settling all reported and unreported claims may change at any point in the future, a reasonable possibility exists that our estimate may vary significantly in the near term from the estimated amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. On our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we report our reserves for unpaid losses gross of the amounts related to unpaid losses recoverable from reinsurers. On our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, we report losses net of amounts ceded to reinsurers. We do not discount our loss reserves for financial statement purposes. (j) Segment Reporting Operating segments are components of our business about which separate financial information is available and evaluated by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in decisions regarding resource allocations and financial performance assessments. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to each segment. Segments are determined based on differences in products, internal reporting, and how operational decisions are made. We disclose two operating segments, our commercial lines business and our personal lines business. We are required to report a measure of each of these segments profit or loss, certain revenue and expense items, and segment assets. We are also required to reconcile total segment profit or losses, total segment revenues, total segment assets, and other amounts disclosed for segments to the corresponding amounts in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 in our notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial presentation of our operating segments. (k) Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired. We attribute all goodwill associated with our acquisitions to two reporting segments. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. The goodwill impairment process requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of 82 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 a reporting segment to its carrying value. We test goodwill for impairment by performing a quantitative assessment. In performing the quantitative impairment test, we use a discounted cash flow valuation approach. The discounted cash flow valuation approach requires judgments about revenues, operating earnings projections, capital market assumptions and discount rates. The key inputs, judgments and assumptions necessary in determining estimated fair value of the reporting segment include projected operating earnings, current book value, the level of economic capital required to support the mix of business, long-term growth rates, comparative market multiples, control premium, the account value of in-force business, projections of new and renewal business, as well as margins on such business, the level of interest rates, credit spreads, equity market levels, and the discount rate that we believe is appropriate for the respective reporting segment. The valuation methodology utilized is subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change. Estimates of fair value are inherently uncertain and represent only management’s reasonable expectation regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and assumptions upon which the estimates are based will, in all likelihood, differ in some respects from actual future results. Declines in the estimated fair value of our reporting segments could result in goodwill impairments in future periods which could materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial position. For the 2022 annual goodwill impairment tests we utilized the quantitative assessment for our commercial lines reporting segment, determining that the goodwill was not impaired for the reporting segment. During the third quarter of 2022, as a result of the strategic decision to place UPC into an orderly runoff, we recognized an impairment of our personal lines reporting segment’s goodwill totaling $13,569,000. For the 2021 annual goodwill impairment tests, we utilized the qualitative assessment for our commercial lines reporting segment and both the qualitative and quantitative assessment for our personal lines reporting segment, determining that the goodwill was not impaired for either of our reporting segments. For the 2020 annual goodwill impairment tests, we utilized the quantitative assessment for both of our reporting segments and determined that goodwill was not impaired. (l) Intangible Assets Identifiable intangible assets that are amortized generally represent the cost of client relationships, trade names and agency agreements acquired. In valuing these assets, we make assumptions regarding useful lives and projected growth rates, and significant judgment is required. We periodically review identifiable intangibles for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values, additional impairment tests are performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Non-amortizing intangible assets generally represent the cost of insurance licenses acquired. Non-amortizing intangible assets are tested for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year by comparing the fair value of the licenses acquired to their carrying values. We established fair value for purposes of impairment testing using the income approach. If the carrying value of a license acquired exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. During 2022, we disposed of licenses that we no longer held and evaluated all other intangible assets. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we determined that the fair values of all remaining intangible assets were not impaired. (m) Leases We evaluate if a leasing arrangement exists upon inception of a contract. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in 83 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 exchange for consideration. Identified property, plant or equipment for all of our leases are physically distinct and explicitly identified. In addition, we assess whether a contract implicitly contains the right to control the use of a tangible asset that is not already owned. Our leases expire at various dates and may contain renewal options. Our leases do not contain termination options. The exercise of lease renewal options are at our sole discretion and are only included in the determination of the lease term if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are based on the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. We have elected the practical expedient related to lease and non-lease components, as an accounting policy election for our office equipment leases, which allows a lessee to not separate non-lease from lease components and instead account for consideration received in a contract as a single lease component. We have also elected the practical expedients to exclude leases considered to be short-term and with values that fall under our capitalization threshold. A portion of our lease agreements include variable lease payments which are not recorded in the initial measurement of the lease liability and right-of-use asset balances. Our office equipment lease agreements may include variable payments based on usage of the equipment. We utilized discount rates to determine the present value of the lease payments based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. We used an incremental borrowing rate based on factors such as lease term to determine the appropriate present value of future lease payments as the rate implicit in the lease is not always readily available. When determining the incremental borrowing rate, we considered the rate of interest we would pay on a secured borrowing in an amount equal to the lease payments for the underlying asset under similar terms. (n) Income Taxes We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect to recover or settle those temporary differences. Should a change in tax rates occur, we recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Refer to Note 14 for additional information. Realization of our deferred income tax assets depends upon our generation of sufficient future taxable income. We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. We recognize interest accrued related to uncertain tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2022, we have no accrued penalties or interest related to uncertain tax benefits. In June 2022, we assessed our deferred tax position and believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from our deferred tax assets (DTA) will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have recorded a valuation allowance of $128,993,000 against our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022. If our assumptions change and we determine that we will be able to realize these DTAs, we will reverse the valuation allowance accordingly. 84 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (the IRA). The IRA contains $500 billion in new spending and tax breaks that aim to boost clean energy, reduce healthcare costs, and increase tax revenues. We reviewed the corporate tax impacts of the IRA and identified two provisions that needed further analysis to determine the impact to our business. First, the IRA established a corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) equal to 15% of average adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) over the CAMT foreign tax credit for the tax year. The CAMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 and only applies to corporations with an AFSI in excess of one billion dollars over three years. We do not expect to be subject to CAMT in 2023, due to this AFSI requirement. Second, the IRA imposes a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock that a publicly- traded corporation repurchases occurring after December 31, 2022. To calculate the net value of a certain stock, the fair market value of the stock repurchased is reduced by the fair market value of the stock issued or provided to employees during that tax year. We do not anticipate the repurchase of stock in 2023, but would need to consider this excise tax if repurchases occur. On March 27, 2020, former President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to mitigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. Among other things, the CARES Act included technical corrections to the effective date language in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted on December 22, 2017. We assessed all provisions of the CARES Act and determined that two provisions needed further analysis to determine the impact to our business. First, the TCJA simplified the definition of “qualified improvement property” and removed the 15-year life for cost recovery, resulting in a 39-year life which excluded the assets from being eligible for bonus depreciation. The CARES Act reinstated the 15-year recovery period effective as if it had been included in the TCJA, making the change applicable to property placed in service after December 31, 2017. After performing our assessment, we concluded that this provision had no impact to our financial statements. Second, the TCJA eliminated the two-year carryback period and provided for indefinite carryforward of net operating losses against future tax periods, with the future deduction limited to 80% of taxable income before consideration of net operating loss deduction. The CARES Act amended the law for net operating losses generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021. Net operating losses generated by a corporation during these taxable years now have a five-year carryback period. In addition, these losses can be carried forward to future taxable years without being subject to the 80% limitation. As a result of the CARES Act, we were able to convert potential deferred tax assets related to net operating losses to a current receivable, generating a $12,566,000 tax benefit for difference in tax rate. The Company’s initial assessment at June 30, 2020 was a tax benefit of $5,263,000. The additional benefit stemmed from 2020 operations. We did not incur any material tax penalties or income-tax-related interest during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020. (o) Advertising Costs We expense all advertising costs as an operating expense when we incur those costs. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we incurred advertising costs of $716,000, $910,000, and $1,212,000, respectively. 85 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 (p) Earnings Per Share (EPS) We report both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. To calculate basic earnings per share, we divide net loss attributable to UIHC common stockholders (net loss less the net income (loss) attributable to NCI) by the weighted- average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted earnings per share using the Treasury method by dividing net loss attributable to UIHC common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents, and restricted shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents are only included when they are dilutive. (q) Concentrations of Risk Our current operations subject us to the following concentrations of risk: • • • • • a concentration of revenue because we write primarily property insurance policies; a concentration of revenue because we source 100% of our commercial lines business from AmRisc, LLC; a geographic concentration resulting from the fact that, though we operated in several states historically, 100% of our commercial lines business is now in Florida and 100% of our personal lines business is now in New York. a group concentration of credit risk with regard to our reinsurance recoverable, since all of our reinsurers engage in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics that could cause their ability to repay us to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions; and a concentration of credit risk with regard to our cash, because we choose to deposit all of our cash at five financial institutions. We mitigate our geographic and group concentrations of risk by entering into reinsurance contracts with financially-stable reinsurers, and by securing irrevocable letters of credit from reinsurers when necessary. With regard to our cash balances held at financial institutions, we had $197,917,000 and $254,989,000 in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (r) Managing General Agent Fees and Policy Fees Our policy fees consist of the managing general agent (MGA) fee and a pay-plan fee. We defer MGA fees as unearned revenue and recognize revenue on a pro rata basis over the term of the underlying policies. We record pay-plan fees, which are charged to all policyholders that pay premium in more than one installment, as income when collected. We report all policy-related fees as other revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. (s) Reinsurance We follow industry practice of reinsuring a portion of our risks. Reinsurance involves transferring, or “ceding”, all or a portion of the risk exposure on policies we write to another insurer, known as a reinsurer. To the extent that our reinsurers are unable to meet the obligations they assume under our reinsurance agreements, we remain liable for the entire insured loss. 86 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 Our reinsurance agreements are short-term, prospective contracts. We record an asset, ceded unearned premiums, and a liability, reinsurance payable, for the entire contract amount upon commencement of our new reinsurance agreements. We amortize our ceded unearned premiums over the 12-month contract period. We record provisional ceding commissions that we receive in connection with our reinsurance contracts for the 2022, 2021 and 2020 underwriting years as an offset to deferred acquisitions costs. We record amounts recoverable from our reinsurers on paid losses plus an estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses. The estimate of amounts recoverable on unpaid losses is a function of our liability for unpaid losses associated with the reinsured policies; therefore, the amount changes in conjunction with any changes to our estimate of unpaid losses. Though our estimate of amounts recoverable from reinsurers on unpaid losses may change at any point in the future because of its relation to our reserves for unpaid losses, a reasonable possibility exists that our estimate may change significantly in the near term from the amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. We estimate uncollectible amounts receivable from reinsurers based on an assessment of factors including the creditworthiness of the reinsurers and the adequacy of collateral obtained, where applicable. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our ending credit loss allowance related to reinsurance recoverables was $603,000, and $563,000, respectively. (t) Assessments We record guaranty fund and other insurance-related assessments imposed upon us as an expense in the period the regulatory agency imposes the assessment. To recover Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA) assessments, we calculate and begin collecting a policy surcharge that will allow us to collect the entire assessment over a 12-month period, based on our estimate of the number of policies we expect to write. We then submit an information only filing, pursuant to Florida Statute 631.57(3)(h), to the insurance regulatory authority requesting formal approval of the policy FIGA surcharge. The process may be repeated in successive 12-month periods until we collect the entire assessment. We record the recoveries as revenue in the period that we collect the cash. While current regulations allow us to recover from policyholders the amount of assessments imposed upon us, our payment of the assessments and our recoveries may not offset each other in the same fiscal period in our consolidated financial statements. Where permitted by law or regulatory authority, we collect assessments imposed upon policyholders as a policy surcharge and we record the amounts collected as a liability until we remit the amounts to the regulatory agency that imposed the assessment. During 2022, we received an assessment notice from the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA). This assessment will be 1.3% on direct written premium of all covered lines of business in Florida to cover the cost of an insurance company facing insolvency. This assessment is in addition to FIGA’s 0.7% assessment, described below, and is recoupable from policyholders. During 2021, we received an assessment notice from FIGA. This assessment will be 0.7% on the direct written premium of all Florida lines of business during 2022. In addition, during 2021, we received an assessment notice from the Louisiana Insurance Guaranty Association (LIGA). LIGA is assessing property and casualty insurers $100,000,000 to cover the cost of two regional insurance companies facing insolvency. This assessment was 1% of 2020 and 2021 direct written premiums, totaling $988,000 and $899,000, respectively. While this assessment is recoupable over 10 years in the form of tax credits, we do not anticipate recouping this assessment after our 2022 premium tax return, as we will no longer write business in the state of Louisiana. 87 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 (u) Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Policies In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). This update enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax guidance, including intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2021. The newly adopted guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Pending Policies We have evaluated pending accounting pronouncements and do not believe any would have an impact on the operations or financial reporting of our company. 3) SEGMENT REPORTING Our reportable segments, while in the same industry, experienced differences in loss patterns and profitability during 2021, which led to a shift in how our CODM views these segments. In addition, the underwriting restrictions for our personal lines and commercial lines vary as we have experienced differences in the frequency, severity, and type of losses for each of these segments. Personal Lines Business Our personal lines business provides structure, content and liability coverage for standard single-family homeowners, renters and condominium unit owners, through our subsidiaries UPC and IIC. Personal residential products are offered in all states in which we write business. We include coverage to policyholders for loss or damage to dwellings, detached structures or equipment caused by covered causes of loss such as fire, wind, hail, water, theft and vandalism. We have developed a unique and proprietary homeowners’ product. This product uses a granular approach to pricing for catastrophe perils. We have focused on using independent agencies as a channel of distribution for our personal lines business. As of December 31, 2022, one agency, Allstate, represents more than 10% of our personal lines revenue. All of our personal lines business is managed internally. Commercial Lines Business Our commercial lines business primarily provides commercial multi-peril property insurance for residential condominium associations and apartments in Florida, through our subsidiary ACIC. We include coverage to policyholders for loss or damage to buildings, inventory or equipment caused by covered causes of loss such as fire, wind, hail, water, theft and vandalism. We also wrote commercial residential coverage through our subsidiary JIC, in South Carolina and Texas. Effective June 1, 2022 JIC was merged into ACIC, with ACIC being the surviving entity. As a result, the commercial residential policies originally written by JIC will not be renewed effective May 31, 2022. All of our commercial lines business is administered by an outside managing general underwriter, AmRisc, LLC (AmRisc). This includes handling the underwriting, claims processing and premium collection related to our commercial business. In return, AmRisc is reimbursed through monthly management fees. International 88 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 Catastrophe Insurance Managers (ICAT) handles the underwriting and premium collection for JIC’s commercial business written in South Carolina and Texas and is also reimbursed through monthly management fees. In 2022, the Company terminated its agreement with ICAT. Termination of this agreement was effective May 31, 2022. Please note the following similarities pertaining to the accounting and transactions of our operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: • Both operating segments follow the accounting policies outlined in Note 2; • Neither operating segment experienced significant noncash transactions outside of depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the receipt of HCI common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021, in connection with our Northeast Renewal Agreement. The tables below presents the information for each of the reportable segments profit or loss as well as segment assets for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 (2) Included in our General and Administrative expenses is $19,299,000 and $3,246,000 of depreciation and amortization expense related to our personal and commercial lines assets, respectively. Personal lines depreciation and amortization expenses includes $13,569,000 related to the impairment of goodwill. (3) As these are calculated ratios, the addition of the ratios will not result in the same value as the consolidated ratio. To calculate the (4) (5) consolidated ratio please see the corresponding footnote below. Loss ratio, net is calculated as losses and LAE net of losses ceded to reinsurers, relative to net premiums earned. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our loss trends and believes it is useful for investors to evaluate this component separately from our other operating expenses. Expense ratio is calculated as the sum of all operating expenses less interest expense relative to net premiums earned. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our expense trends and believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately from our loss expenses. (6) Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, net and expense ratio. Management uses this operating metric to analyze our total expense trends and believes it is a key indicator for investors when evaluating the overall profitability of our business.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 Portfolio monitoring We have a quarterly portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed-income security whose carrying value may be impaired as the result of a credit loss. For each fixed-income security in an unrealized loss position, if we determine that we intend to sell the security or that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost or amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity needs, contractual or regulatory requirements, the security’s entire decline in fair value is recorded in earnings. If our management decides not to sell the fixed-income security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the fixed-income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This is typically indicated by a change in the rating of the security assigned by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security or industry, among other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded in earnings. Credit loss is limited to the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive loss. During the year-ended December 31, 2022, we determined that none of our fixed-income securities shown in the table below that are in an unrealized loss position have declines in fair value that are reflected as a result of credit losses. Therefore, no credit loss allowance was recorded at December 31, 2022. The issuers of our debt security investments continue to make interest payments on a timely basis. However, during the year ended December 31, 2022, management determined that it was more likely than not that we would be required to sell a portion of our fixed-income securities attributable to our personal lines operating segment before recovery of their amortized cost basis. As a result, we realized impairment losses of $22,718,000 on these securities. Total shareholders’ equity (deficit) was not impacted by such charge; however, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 worsened and other comprehensive income improved by $22,718,000 in offsetting amounts. We do not intend to sell, nor is it likely that we would be required to sell our remaining debt securities before we recover our amortized cost basis. Equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the valuation of equity investments.

Fair value measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access. Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following: (a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or (c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities. We estimate the fair value of our investments using the closing prices on the last business day of the reporting period, obtained from active markets such as the NYSE, Nasdaq and NYSE American. For securities for which quoted prices in active markets are unavailable, we use a third-party pricing service that utilizes quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, benchmark interest rates, broker quotes and other relevant inputs to estimate the fair value of those securities for which quoted prices are unavailable. Our estimates of fair value reflect the interest rate environment that existed as of the close of business on December 31, 2022 and 2021. Changes in interest rates subsequent to December 31, 2022 may affect the fair value of our investments. 95 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 The fair value of our fixed maturities is initially calculated by a third-party pricing service. Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of proprietary models, produce valuation information in the form of a single fair value for individual fixed income and other securities for which a fair value has been requested. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, liquidity spreads, currency rates and other information, as applicable. Credit and liquidity spreads are typically implied from completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities. Valuation service providers also use proprietary discounted cash flow models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry and similar to those used by other market participants to value the same financial information. The valuation models take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date, as described above, as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector and, where applicable, collateral quality and other issue or issuer specific information. Executing valuation models effectively requires seasoned professional judgment and experience. Any change in the estimated fair value of our fixed-income securities would impact the amount of unrealized gain or loss we have recorded, which could change the amount we have recorded for our investments and other comprehensive income loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022. The following table presents the fair value of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by level at December 31, 2022 and 2021: Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 December 31, 2022 U.S. government and agency securities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; this is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2022 and 2021. The carrying amounts for the following financial instrument categories approximate their fair values at December 31, 2022 and 2021, because of their short-term nature: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance payable, other assets, and other liabilities. The carrying amount of the notes payable to the Florida State Board of Administration, Truist Financial Corporation (Truist), and our senior notes approximate fair value as the interest rates and terms are variable. We are responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. We have implemented a system of processes and controls designed to provide assurance that our assets and liabilities are appropriately valued. For fair values received from third parties, our processes are designed to provide assurance that the valuation methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded. At the end of each quarter, we determine whether we need to transfer the fair values of any securities between levels of the fair value hierarchy and, if so, we report the transfer as of the end of the quarter. During 2022, we transferred no investments between levels. For our investments in U.S. government securities that do not have prices in active markets, agency securities, state and municipal governments, and corporate bonds, we obtain the fair values from our investment custodians, which use a third-party valuation service. The valuation service calculates prices for our investments in the aforementioned security types on a month-end basis by using several matrix-pricing methodologies that incorporate inputs from various sources. The model the valuation service uses to price U.S. government securities and securities of states and municipalities incorporates inputs from active market makers and inter- dealer brokers. To price corporate bonds and agency securities, the valuation service calculates non-call yield spreads on all issuers, uses option-adjusted yield spreads to account for any early redemption features, and adds 97 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 final spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve at 3 p.m. (ET) as of quarter end. Since the inputs the valuation service uses in its calculations are not quoted prices in active markets, but are observable inputs, they represent Level 2 inputs. Other investments We acquired investments in limited partnerships, recorded in the other investments line of our Consolidated Balance Sheets and these investments are currently being accounted for at fair value utilizing a net asset value per share equivalent methodology.

The net realized gain on these sales totaled $12,164,000. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we disposed of computer hardware and software totaling $1,961,000, primarily related to the retirement of one of our claim systems. This system was fully depreciated prior to disposal. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred non-cash construction in progress write-off charges of $2,763,000 as a result of our decision to discontinue construction of a new 150,000 square-foot headquarters and associated permit application and architectural drawings. 8) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill at December 31, 2022 was $59,476,000. The carrying amount of goodwill at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $73,045,000. For the 2022 annual goodwill impairment tests we utilized the quantitative assessment for our commercial lines reporting segment, determining that the goodwill was not impaired for the reporting segment. During the third quarter of 2022, as a result of the strategic decision to place UPC into an orderly runoff, we recognized an impairment of our personal lines reporting segment’s goodwill totaling $13,569,000. We completed our most recent goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter and determined that there was no additional impairment in the value of the asset as of December 31, 2022. 100 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

Our program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes including hurricanes and tropical storms. These reinsurance agreements are part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide our stockholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in our property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to our policyholders. Although reinsurance agreements contractually obligate our reinsurers to reimburse us for the agreed-upon portion of our gross paid losses, they do not discharge our primary liability. Our program includes excess of loss, aggregate excess of loss and quota share treaties. Our catastrophe reinsurance program, in effect from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023, provides coverage for catastrophe losses from named or numbered windstorms and earthquakes up to an exhaustion point of approximately $2,500,000,000 in the aggregate. Under our core catastrophe excess of loss treaty, retention on a first and second event is $16,400,000 each. During the third quarter, one of the our reinsurer’s participating on the $25,000,000 excess of $20,000,000 layer of the core catastrophe program exercised a contractual right to terminate their participation due to Demotech’s downgrade of UPC’s Financial Stability Rating. We were unsuccessful in replacing this coverage in the open market so our captive reinsurer, UPC Re, stepped into the $25,000,000 excess of $20,000,000 layer which was subsequently impacted by Hurricane Ian resulting in an additional retained loss of $20,100,000.The exhaustion point of IIC’s catastrophe reinsurance program is approximately $200,000,000 in the aggregate, with a retention of $3,000,000 per occurrence, covering all perils. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company’s core catastrophe reinsurance program was impacted by Hurricane Ian. As a result, the Company has approximately $508 million of occurrence limit remaining for Ian, all of which is attributable to ACIC only. After reinstatement premiums of approximately $15.4 million, the Company has approximately $993 million of aggregate limit remaining after Ian, based on our estimated ultimate net loss subject to the core catastrophe reinsurance program. Effective December 13, 2021, we renewed our all other perils catastrophe excess of loss agreement. The agreement provides protection from catastrophe loss events other than named windstorms and earthquakes up to $110,000,000. During the third quarter of 2022, one of our private reinsurers who held a 100% share of the $15,000,000 in excess of $15,000,000 layer on our all other perils catastrophe excess of loss agreement notified us of their intent to terminate the agreement due to the contractual provision regarding the change in UPC’s statutory surplus being greater than 25%. We agreed to a termination and commutation date of August 22, 2022 for this contract. This change resulted in approximately $1,300,000 of ceded premium savings that would have otherwise been due 102 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

We establish reserves for both reported and unreported unpaid losses that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date for amounts we estimate we will be required to pay in the future. Our policy is to establish these loss reserves after considering all information known to us at each reporting period. At any given point in time, our loss reserve represents our best estimate of the ultimate settlement and administration cost of our insured claims incurred and unpaid. Since the process of estimating loss reserves requires significant judgment due to a number of variables, such as fluctuations in inflation, judicial decisions, legislative changes and changes in claims handling procedures, our ultimate liability will likely differ from these estimates. We revise our reserve for unpaid losses as additional information becomes available, and reflect adjustments, if any, in our earnings in the periods in which we determine the adjustments are necessary. General Discussion of the Loss Reserving Process Reserves for unpaid losses fall into two categories: case reserves and reserves for claims incurred but not reported. • Case reserves—When a claim is reported, we establish an automatic minimum case reserve for that claim type that represents our initial estimate of the losses that will ultimately be paid on the reported claim. Our initial estimate for each claim is based upon averages of loss payments for our prior closed claims made for that claim type. Then, our claims personnel perform an evaluation of the type of claim involved, the circumstances surrounding each claim and the policy provisions relating to the loss and adjust the reserve as necessary. As claims mature, we increase or decrease the reserve estimates as deemed necessary by our claims department based upon additional information we receive regarding the loss, the results of on-site reviews and any other information we gather while reviewing the claims. 106 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 • Reserves for losses incurred but not reported (IBNR reserves)—Our IBNR reserves include true IBNR reserves plus “bulk” reserves. Bulk reserves represent additional amounts that cannot be allocated to particular claims, but which are necessary to estimate ultimate losses on reported and unreported claims. We estimate our IBNR reserves by projecting the ultimate losses using the methods discussed below and then deducting actual loss payments and case reserves from the projected ultimate losses. We review and adjust our IBNR reserves on a quarterly basis based on information available to us at the balance sheet date. When we establish our reserves, we analyze various factors such as our historical loss experience and that of the insurance industry, claims frequency and severity, our business mix, our claims processing procedures, legislative enactments, judicial decisions and legal developments in imposition of damages, and general economic conditions, including inflation. A change in any of these factors from the assumptions implicit in our estimates will cause our ultimate loss experience to be better or worse than indicated by our reserves, and the difference could be material. Due to the interaction of the aforementioned factors, there is no precise method for evaluating the impact of any one specific factor in isolation, and an element of judgment is ultimately required. Due to the uncertain nature of any projection of the future, the ultimate amount we will pay for losses will be different from the reserves we record. However, in our judgment, we employ techniques and assumptions that are appropriate, and the resulting reserve estimates are reasonable, given the information available at the balance sheet date. To determine our ultimate losses, we first use multiple actuarial techniques to establish a range of reasonable estimates. These techniques are in line with actuarial standards of practice and actuarial literature. A brief overview of each of these techniques is provided below. We then make additional qualitative considerations for many of the previously mentioned factors and select a point within this range. These ultimate loss estimates include reserves for both reported and unreported claims. Estimation of the Reserves for Unpaid Losses and Allocated LAE We calculate our estimate of ultimate losses with the following actuarial methods. The methods are applied to paid and incurred loss data. Incurred losses are defined as paid losses plus case reserves. For our loss reserving process, the word “segment” refers to a subgrouping of our claims data, such as by geographic area and/or by particular line of business; it does not refer to operating segments. • Development Method—The development method is based upon the assumption that the relative change in a given year’s loss estimates from one evaluation point to the next is similar to the relative change in prior years’ reported loss estimates at similar evaluation points. In utilizing this method, actual annual historical loss data is evaluated. Loss development factors (LDFs) are calculated to measure the change in cumulative losses from one evaluation point to the next. These historical LDFs and comparable industry benchmark factors form the basis for selecting the LDFs used in projecting the current valuation of losses to an ultimate basis. When applied to incurred loss data, the implicit assumption is that the relative adequacy of case reserves has been consistent over time, and that there have been no material changes in the rate at which claims have been reported. Applying this method to paid losses avoids potential distortions in the data due to changes in case reserving methodology, but also loses any potentially useful information contained in the current case reserves. The paid development method’s implicit assumption is that the rate of payment of claims has been relatively consistent over time. • Expected Loss Method—Ultimate loss projections are based upon a prior measure of the anticipated losses, usually relative to a measure of exposure (such as earned house years). An expected loss cost is 107 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 applied to each year’s measure of exposure to determine estimated ultimate losses for that year. Actual losses are not considered in this calculation. Because the ultimate loss estimates do not change unless the exposures or loss costs change, this method has the advantage of being stable over time. However, the advantage of this stability is offset by a lack of responsiveness since this method does not consider actual loss experience as it emerges. This method assumes that the loss cost per unit of exposure is a good indication of ultimate losses. It can be entirely dependent on pricing assumptions (e.g., historical experience adjusted for loss trend). • Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method—The Bornhuetter-Ferguson (B-F) method is a credibility weighting procedure that blends the responsiveness of the Development Method with the stability of the Expected Loss Method by setting ultimate losses equal to actual losses plus the expected unreported losses which are based on the Expected Loss Method. As an experience year matures, actual losses gradually move closer to their ultimate levels so reliance on the Expected Loss Method can be reduced. • Paid-to-Paid Development Method—In addition to the aforementioned methods, we also rely upon the Paid-to-Paid Development Method to project ultimate unallocated loss adjustment expense (ULAE). Ratios of paid ULAE to paid loss and allocated loss adjustment expense are compiled by calendar year and a paid-to-paid ratio selection is made. The selected ratio is applied to the estimated IBNR amounts and one half of this ratio is applied to case reserves. This method is derived from rule of thumb that half of ULAE is incurred when a claim is opened and the other half is incurred over the remaining life of the claim. Reliance and Selection of Methods Each of these methods has its own strengths and weaknesses that depend upon the circumstances of the segment and the age of the claims experience we analyze. The nature of our book of business allows us to place substantial, but not exclusive, reliance on the loss development methods, and the selected LDFs, represent the most critical aspect of our loss reserving process. We use the same set of LDFs in the methods during our loss reserving process that we also use to calculate the premium necessary to pay expected ultimate losses. Reasonably-Likely Changes in Variables As previously noted, we evaluate several factors when exercising our judgment in the selection of the LDFs that ultimately drive the determination of our loss reserves. The process of establishing our reserves is complex and necessarily imprecise, as it involves using judgment that is affected by many variables. We believe a reasonably-likely change in almost any of these aforementioned factors could have an impact on our reported results, financial condition and liquidity. However, we do not believe any reasonably likely changes in the frequency or severity of claims would have a material impact on us. On an annual basis, our consulting actuary issues a statement of actuarial opinion that documents the actuary’s evaluation of the adequacy of our unpaid loss obligations under the terms of our policies. We review the analysis underlying the consulting actuary’s opinion and compare the projected ultimate losses to our own estimates to ensure that the reserve for unpaid losses recorded at each annual balance sheet date is based upon all internal and external factors related to known and unknown claims against us and to ensure our reserve is within guidelines promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). We maintain an in-house claims staff that monitors and directs all aspects of our claims process. We assign the fieldwork to our wholly-owned claims subsidiary, or to third-party claims adjusting companies, none of 108 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 whom have the authority to settle or pay any claims on our behalf. The third-party claims adjusting companies conduct inspection of the damaged property and prepare initial estimates. We review the inspection reports and initial estimates to determine the amounts to be paid to the policyholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy in effect at the time that the policyholder incurs the loss. We maintain strategic relationships with multiple claims adjusting companies that we can engage should we need additional non-catastrophe claims servicing capacity. We believe the combination of our internal resources and relationships with external claims servicing companies provide an adequate level of claims servicing in the event catastrophes affect our policyholders. The following is information about incurred claims development and paid claims development as of December 31, 2022, net of reinsurance, as well as cumulative claim frequency and the total of IBNR liability plus expected development on reported claims included within the net incurred claims amounts. The incurred claims development and paid claims development data reflect the acquisitions of FSIC, IIC, and AmCo in February 2015, April 2016, and April 2017, respectively, on a retrospective basis (includes FSIC, IIC and AmCo data for years prior to our acquisition of the insurance affiliates). The information about incurred claims development and paid claims development for the years ended December 31, 2013 to 2021 is presented as supplementary information. During 2019, three of our insurance subsidiaries, UPC, FSIC and ACIC, entered into an intercompany property and casualty reinsurance pooling arrangement. Under this arrangement, the participating companies share substantially all business that is written and allocate the combined premiums, losses and expenses. The Company performed an analysis and concluded that the nature of our claims cash flows and development patterns, along with the structure of our reinsurance program, are similar among all products. In addition, effective January 1, 2022, this agreement was terminated. In prior years, we have elected to disclose one single property and casualty homeowners’ insurance table. With the change to disclosing two reporting segments in 2021, we began providing disclosures for each of our reporting segments separately.

As reflected by our losses incurred related to prior years, adverse development experienced in 2022 was primarily the result of the strengthening of our reserves based on increased litigation related to claims being filed in the state of Florida. Current year losses incurred and reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses increased in 2022 due to Hurricane Ian, which made landfall in Florida as a category four Hurricane. The severity of Hurricane Ian resulted in increased cessions to our core catastrophe program as well as the exhausting of our reinsurance coverage attributable to our personal lines operating segment, resulting in higher retained losses compared to 2021. The loss payments made during the year ended December 31, 2021 were higher than the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the settling of the claims related to the unprecedented frequency of catastrophe activity that took place in 2020, as well as the settlement of Hurricane Ida claims in 2021. 112 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. We may redeem the Senior Notes at our option, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part, prior to September 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon from the date of redemption to the date that is three months prior to maturity. On or after that date, we may redeem the Senior Notes at par. On December 8, 2022, the Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC announced a downgrade of our issuer and debt ratings BBB- to BB+. As a result, pursuant to our agreement, the interest rate of our Senior Notes increased from 6.25% to 7.25% effective on the next Interest Payment date of June 15, 2023. Florida State Board of Administration Note On September 22, 2006, we issued a $20,000,000, 20-year note payable to the Florida State Board of Administration (the SBA Note). For the first three years of the SBA note we were required to pay interest only. On October 1, 2009, we began to repay the principal in addition to interest. The SBA Note bears an annual interest rate equivalent to the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate (as defined in the SBA Note agreement), which resets quarterly. 113 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 Truist Term Note On May 26, 2016, we issued a $5,200,000, 15-year term note payable to Truist (the Truist Note) with the intent to use the funds to purchase, renovate, furnish and equip our principal executive office. The Truist Note bears interest at 1.65% in excess of the one-month LIBOR which resets monthly. LIBOR was expected to be phased out by the end of 2021. However, the Intercontinental Exchange will continue to publish one-month LIBOR settings through 2023. The outstanding Truist Note payable balance, including applicable interest, was repaid in full on August 12, 2022. Financial Covenants Senior Notes—Our Senior Notes provide that the Company and its subsidiaries shall not incur any indebtedness unless no default exists and the Company’s leverage ratio as of the last day of any annual or quarterly period (the balance sheet date) immediately preceding the date on which such additional indebtedness is incurred would have been no greater than 0.3:1, determined on a pro forma basis as if the additional indebtedness and all other indebtedness incurred since the immediately preceding balance sheet date had been incurred and the proceeds therefrom applied as of such day. The Company and its subsidiaries also may not create, assume, incur or permit to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured by a lien on the voting stock of any significant subsidiary without securing the Senior Notes equally. The Company may not issue, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the capital stock of the Company’s significant subsidiaries as of the issue date of the Senior Notes (except to the Company or to one or more of the Company’s other subsidiaries, or for the purpose of qualifying directors or as may be required by law or regulation), subject to certain exceptions. At December 31, 2022, while our leverage ratio was greater than the allowed ratio above, we did not incur any additional debt during the period and as a result we were in compliance with the covenants in the Senior Notes. SBA Note—Our SBA Note requires that UPC maintain either a 2:1 ratio of net written premium to surplus, or net writing ratio, or a 6:1 ratio of gross written premium to surplus, or gross writing ratio, to avoid additional interest penalties. The SBA Note agreement defines surplus for the purpose of calculating the required ratios as the $20,000,000 of capital contributed to UPC under the agreement plus the outstanding balance of the note. Should UPC fail to exceed either a net writing ratio of 1.5:1 or a gross writing ratio of 4.5:1, UPC’s interest rate will increase by 450 basis points above the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate, which was 3.76% at the end of December 2022. Any other writing ratio deficiencies result in an interest rate penalty of 25 basis points above the stated rate of the note. Our SBA Note further provides that the Florida State Board of Administration may, among other things, declare its loan immediately due and payable upon any default existing under the SBA Note; however, any payment is subject to approval by the insurance regulatory authority. At December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants in the SBA Note.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation We are involved in claims-related legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We accrue amounts resulting from claims-related legal actions in unpaid losses and LAE during the period that we determine an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and we can estimate the amounts. Management makes revisions to our estimates based on its analysis of subsequent information that we receive regarding various factors, including: (i) per claim information; (ii) company and industry historical loss experience; (iii) judicial decisions and legal developments in the awarding of damages; and (iv) trends in general economic conditions, including the effects of inflation. At December 31, 2022, the Company is involved in legal proceedings whereby on August 18, 2021, Jacqueline A. Miraglia v. United Insurance Holdings Corp., and United Property & Casualty Insurance Company was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging violations and damages arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and seeks damages in an unspecified amount. On September 27, 2022, venue was transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. In November, 2022, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint styled Jacqueline A. Miraglia vs. United Insurance Holdings Corp., United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, and Skyway Claims Services, LLC, alleging violations arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. The Company denies wrongdoing and believes that an unfavorable outcome is neither probable nor estimable. Commitments to fund partnership investments We have fully funded three limited partnership investments and have committed to fund our remaining six limited partnership investments. The amount of unfunded commitments was $5,968,000 and $1,969,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Leases We, as lessee, have entered into leases of commercial office space of various term lengths. In addition to office space, we lease office equipment and a parking lot under operating leases and vehicles under finance leases.

See Note 7 for information regarding depreciation expense. See Note 11 for information regarding commitments related to long-term debt, and Note 15 for commitments related to regulatory actions. Subleases We previously leased and occupied office space in which we no longer operate. Effective October 1, 2022, this office space is now subleased to a third-party. This sublease is effective from October 1, 2022, through July 31, 2025, with no option to extend. As of December 31, 2022, we recognized $297,000 of income related to this sublease, exclusive of the lease expense associated with the original lease. Additionally, as a result of the sublease, we evaluated our right-of-use asset associated with the original lease for impairment, using the undiscounted cash flows from the sublease. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized impairment of $175,000, which was recognized in the results of our personal lines operating segment. Employee Retention Credit A series of legislation was enacted in the United States during 2020 and 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that provided financial relief for businesses impacted by government-mandated shutdowns, work stoppages, or other losses suffered by employers. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provided an employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee. During the second quarter of 2022, we evaluated our eligibility and filed for a $10,161,000 refund in connection with our Employee Retention Tax Credit for the tax year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, we have received $254,000 from the Internal Revenue Service related to this refund. A gain contingency is an uncertain situation that will be resolved in the future, possibly resulting in a gain. We have not recorded the recognition of this gain contingency, except for what has already been received and what was received after the balance sheet date prior to finalizing our results for the year, prior to settlement of the underlying event. While we believe the likelihood of the refund approval being reversed is low, a loss contingency to the extent of the refunds received and recognized is present. We will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the outcome of these contingencies and will make any appropriate adjustments each quarter. UPC Run-off Plan During the third quarter of 2022, UPC received approval from regulatory authorities in Florida, Louisiana and Texas to withdraw from these markets. However, upon completion of our year-end review of unpaid loss and loss adjustment reserves with our independent actuarial firm, UPC incurred $145 million in loss expense, net of reinsurance as of December 31, 2022. As a result of the increased net losses incurred by UPC, the company is insolvent as of December 31, 2022. Accordingly, we have notified the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) of UPC’s material impairment. UPC was placed into receivership on February 27, 2023. As a result, we immediately de-consolidated UPC from our operations on the effective date of receivership. 117 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 13) ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES We are exposed to credit losses primarily through three different pools of assets based on similar risk characteristics: premiums receivable for direct written business; reinsurance recoverables from ceded losses to our reinsurers; our investment holdings and our notes receivable. We estimate the expected credit losses based on historical trends, credit ratings assigned to reinsurers by rating agencies and debt issuers, average default rates, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amounts over its expected life. Changes in the relevant information may significantly affect the estimates of expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the assets to present their net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. Each period, the allowance for credit losses is adjusted through earnings to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining lives of the assets. The following tables summarize our allowance for expected credit losses by pooled asset for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Provision for expected credit losses Write-offs December 31, 2022 Premiums Receivable . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Deferred income taxes, which are included in other assets or other liabilities as appropriate, reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2022, we had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. The amount and timing of realizing the benefits of NOL carryforwards depend on future taxable income and limitation imposed by tax laws. There is no expiration for $1,101,000 of our Federal NOL carryforward. The remaining $452,413,000 of our 119 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 Federal NOL carryforward expires beginning in 2040 and fully expiring by the end of 2042.

In assessing the net realizable value of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We considered taxable income (loss), reversals of temporary items, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The current year increase in valuation allowance predominately relates to the impact of current year results on management’s estimate that the majority of its net deferred tax assets will not be realizable. The statute of limitations related to our consolidated Federal income tax returns and our Florida income tax returns expired for all tax years up to and including 2018; therefore, only the 2019 through 2022 tax years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we were examined by 120 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 the IRS regarding tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we were examined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding our 2016 income tax return. Tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020 are with Joint Committee review, however, no material adjustments have been proposed. UPC Insurance’s reinsurance subsidiaries, which are based in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, made an irrevocable election under section 953(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be treated as a domestic insurance company for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. As a result of this election, our reinsurance subsidiaries are subject to United States income tax on its worldwide income as if it were a U.S. corporation.

We do not anticipate a material change in the unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months. 15) STATUTORY ACCOUNTING AND REGULATION The insurance industry is heavily regulated. State laws and regulations, as well as national regulatory agency requirements, govern the operations of all insurers such as our insurance subsidiaries. The various laws and regulations require that insurers maintain minimum amounts of statutory surplus and risk-based capital, restrict insurers’ ability to pay dividends, specify allowable investment types and investment mixes, and subject insurers to assessments. Effective June 1, 2022, our insurance subsidiaries JIC and ACIC were merged, with ACIC being the surviving entity. Effective May 31, 2022, our insurance subsidiaries UPC and FSIC were merged, with UPC being the surviving entity. Both UPC and ACIC are domiciled in Florida, while IIC is domiciled in New York. At December 31, 2022, and during the year then ended, ACIC and IIC met all regulatory requirements of the states in which they operate. As of December 31, 2022, UPC was determined to be insolvent and was referred for receivership by the OIR. During 2022, we received an assessment notice from FIGA. This assessment will be 1.3% on direct written premium of all covered lines of business in Florida to cover the cost of an insurance company facing insolvency. This assessment is in addition to FIGA’s 0.7% assessment, described below, and is recoupable from policyholders. During 2021, we received an assessment notice from FIGA. This assessment will be 0.7% on all direct written premium of Florida lines of business during 2022. In addition, we received an assessment notice from LIGA in 2021. LIGA is assessing property and casualty insurers $100,000,000 to cover the cost of two regional insurance companies facing insolvency. This assessment was 1% of 2020 and 2021 direct written premiums, totaling $988,000 and $899,000, respectively. While this assessment is recoupable over 10 years in the form of tax credits, we do not anticipate recouping this assessment after our 2022 premium tax return, as we will no longer write business in the state of Louisiana. 121 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 The NAIC has RBC guidelines for insurance companies that are designed to assess capital adequacy and to raise the level of protection that statutory surplus provides for policyholders. Most states, including Florida and New York, have enacted statutory requirements adopting the NAIC RBC guidelines, and insurers having less statutory surplus than required will be subject to varying degrees of regulatory action, depending on the level of capital inadequacy. State insurance regulatory authorities could require an insurer to cease operations in the event the insurer fails to maintain the required statutory capital. The state laws of Florida and New York permit an insurer to pay dividends or make distributions out of that part of statutory surplus derived from net operating profit and net realized capital gains. The state laws further provide calculations to determine the amount of dividends or distributions that can be made without the prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities in those states and the amount of dividends or distributions that would require prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities in those states. Statutory RBC requirements may further restrict our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make distributions if the amount of the intended dividend or distribution would cause statutory surplus to fall below minimum RBC requirements. Additionally, in connection with UPC’s Plan for Runoff, IIC has agreed to not pay ordinary dividends without prior approval of the New York Department of Financial Services until January 1, 2025. Governmental agencies or certain quasi-governmental entities can levy assessments upon us in the states in which we write policies. See Note 2(t) for a description of how we recover assessments imposed upon us. We expense an assessment when the particular governmental agency or quasi-governmental entity levies it upon us; therefore, expected recoveries are not assets and we will record the amounts as income when collected from policyholders. Governmental agencies or certain quasi-governmental entities can also levy assessments upon policyholders, and we collect the amount of the assessments from policyholders as surcharges for the benefit of the assessing agency. We currently collect assessments levied upon policyholders on behalf of Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corporation in the amount of 2.40% of written premium. During 2021, we collected assessments levied upon policyholders on behalf of Connecticut Healthy Homes Fund in the amount of $12.00 per each homeowners policy. In addition, we collect $2 per residential policy and $4 per commercial policy written in the state of Florida on behalf of the Florida Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund. Our insurance subsidiaries must maintain capital and surplus ratios or balances as determined by the regulatory authority of the states in which they are domiciled. At December 31, 2022, ACIC and IIC met these requirements, while UPC was determined to be insolvent and referred for receivership by the OIR.

(3) ACIC results are inclusive of JIC as these entities were merged effective June 1, 2022. NAIC law limits an insurer’s investment in equity instruments and also restricts investments in medium to low quality debt instruments. We were in compliance with all investment restrictions at December 31, 2022 and 2021. The SBA Note is considered a surplus note pursuant to statutory accounting principles. As a result, UPC is subject to the authority of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Florida with regard to its ability to repay principal and interest on the SBA note. Any payment of principal or interest requires permission from the insurance regulatory authority. We have reported our insurance subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities and results of operations in accordance with GAAP, which varies from statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by state laws and regulations, as well as by general industry practices. The following items are principal differences between statutory accounting and GAAP: • • • • • • • Statutory accounting requires that we exclude certain assets, called non-admitted assets, from the balance sheet. Statutory accounting requires us to expense policy acquisition costs when incurred, while GAAP allows us to defer to the extent realizable, and amortize policy acquisition costs over the estimated life of the policies. Statutory accounting requires that surplus notes, also known as surplus debentures, be recorded in statutory surplus, while GAAP requires us to record surplus notes as a liability. Statutory accounting allows certain investments to be carried at amortized cost or fair value based on the rating received from the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC, while they are recorded at fair value for GAAP because the investments are held as available for sale. Statutory accounting allows ceding commission income to be recognized when written if the cost of acquiring and renewing the associated business exceeds the ceding commissions, but under GAAP such income is deferred and recognized over the coverage period. Statutory accounting requires that unearned premiums and loss reserves are presented net of related reinsurance rather than on a gross basis under GAAP. Statutory accounting requires a provision for reinsurance liability be established for reinsurance recoverable on paid losses aged over ninety days and for unsecured amounts recoverable from unauthorized reinsurers. Under GAAP there is no charge for uncollateralized amounts ceded to a company not licensed in the insurance subsidiary’s domiciliary state and a reserve for uncollectible reinsurance is charged through earnings rather than surplus or equity. 123 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 • Statutory accounting requires an additional admissibility test and the change in deferred income tax is reported directly in capital and surplus, rather than being reported as a component of income tax expense under GAAP. Our insurance subsidiaries must file with the various insurance regulatory authorities an “Annual Statement” which reports, among other items, statutory net income (loss) and surplus as regards policyholders, which is called stockholders’ equity (deficit) under GAAP. The table below details the statutory net income (loss) for each of our regulated entities for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

In July 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan of up to $25,000,000 of our common stock. As of December 31, 2022, we had not yet repurchased any shares under this stock repurchase plan. The timing and volume of repurchases are at the discretion of management, based on the capital needs of the business, the market price of UIHC common stock, and general market conditions. The plan has no expiration date, and the plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. See Note 19 for information regarding our stock-based compensation activity. 19) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION We account for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation. We recognize stock-based compensation cost over the award’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis for time-based restricted stock grants and performance-based restricted stock grants. We record forfeitures as they occur for all stock-based compensation. Under the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, 1,000,000 shares were authorized for issuance at December 31, 2020. In 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders during our 2020 Annual Shareholder meeting. At the time of approval, an additional 2,000,000 shares were authorized for issuance.

The after tax amounts are determined using the 21% corporate federal tax rate. 125 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 We had approximately $2,024,000 of unrecognized stock compensation expense at December 31, 2022 related to non-vested stock-based compensation granted, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years. We had approximately $36,000 of unrecognized director stock-based compensation expense at December 31, 2022 related to non-vested director stock-based compensation granted, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.3 years. Restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock units Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units is measured based on the closing fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, which vest in equal installments over the requisite service period of typically three years. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors vest over a one-year period. Each restricted stock unit and performance stock unit represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one share of common stock upon vesting. Performance stock units vest based on the Company’s return on average equity compared to a defined group of peer companies. On the grant date, we issue the target number of performance stock units. They are subject to forfeitures if performance goals are not met. The actual number of performance stock units earned can vary from zero to 150 percent of the target for the 2022, 2021, and 2020 awards. We granted 907,907, 292,960, and 386,101 shares of restricted common stock, which had a weighted- average grant date fair value of $1.97, $6.01, and $9.33 per share during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted 45,000 shares of restricted common stock, with a fair value of $15.70 per share, which were contingent upon stockholder approval of the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The contingent shares were issued and fully vested during the year ended December 31, 2020. 126 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.

The expected annual dividend yield for our options granted during and after the third quarter of 2021 is based on no dividends being paid in future quarters. The expected volatility is a historical volatility calculated based on the daily closing prices over a period equal to the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. Expected term takes into account the three-year graded vesting term and the 10-year contractual term of the option.

On February 1, 2023, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, UPC, entered into a Renewal Rights Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2023, with Slide Insurance Company (Slide), pursuant to which UPC agreed to transfer to Slide the renewal rights to UPC’s personal lines homeowners business in Florida. 128 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 Under the terms of this transaction, UPC cancelled approximately 72,000 Florida personal lines policies on February 1, 2023, and Slide simultaneously issued replacement policies. Additionally, Slide will make offers of coverage to additional Florida personal lines policies expiring in April 2023. In addition, on February 1, 2023, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, UIM, entered into an Asset Purchase and Services Agreement, with Slide, pursuant to which, UIM agreed to sell, and Slide agreed to purchase certain intellectual property and data. Under the terms of this agreement, UIM will also provide Slide with policy administration services in exchange for Slide reimbursing UIM’s costs for providing such services. In exchange for the sale of intellectual property and data, Slide will pay UIM two percent of gross earned premium of the policies renewed by pursuant to the Renewal Rights Agreement. On February 27, 2023, the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Rehabilitation and Liquidation initiated proceedings against our insurance subsidiary, UPC. As a result, we will immediately de-consolidate UPC from our operations on the effective date of receivership. On March 2, 2023, the Company issued a press release related to its earnings for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 (the Earnings Release). The Earnings Release was filed as exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed on March 2, 2023. Subsequent to the Earnings Release, the Company has increased its reported Policy acquisition costs on its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss by $1,856,000 or 1.2%, from $154,233,000 to $156,089,000. Additionally, the Company has decreased its reported Reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses and Other assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheets by $885,000 or 0.05% and $971,000 or 2.5%, respectively. On April 5, 2023, the Company filed a Motion for Release of Property of ACIC in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit for Leon County, Florida, requesting that UPC immediately remit to ACIC reinsurance recoveries currently held by UPC and reinsurance recoveries recovered by UPC in the future in accordance with the Company’s Allocation Agreement. Alternatively, ACIC requested future reinsurance recoveries remitted to UPC be placed into a segregated account for future reconciliation and remittance to ACIC. On April 13, 2023, the DFS filed a response to the Company’s motion, objecting to ACIC’s position. On April 14, 2023, the Court denied ACIC’s motion without prejudice. 129 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We designed our disclosure controls with the objective of ensuring we accumulate and communicate this information to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on our evaluation under that framework, management concluded that our internal control over our financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10K, has issued their attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the 130 UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP. evaluation of our internal control performed during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on Controls Because of the inherent limitations of internal controls, we do not expect our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that our objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that we will prevent all misstatements due to error or fraud or that we will detect all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company.
