AI GridWorks assesses sites and power as SurancePlus expands into third-party reinsurance
GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OXBR) (the “Company” or “Oxbridge”) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and provided updates on SurancePlus and AI GridWorks.
Management Commentary
“Since launching AI GridWorks in August, we’ve assembled a development team, begun evaluating specific sites and engaged with utilities to assess how much power those sites could support and when it could be delivered,” said Jay Madhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Oxbridge. “Our opportunity starts with the land. Securing site control, establishing a path to power and advancing permits can add value well before construction begins. That gives us choices about where to commit capital and which projects to develop ourselves, pursue with a partner or sell at an earlier stage.”
“At SurancePlus, completing our first third-party offerings demonstrated that we can structure and issue tokenized securities tied to reinsurance originated outside Oxbridge.”
SurancePlus
In its fourth consecutive treaty year, SurancePlus completed five tokenized reinsurance offerings for 2026–2027, generating approximately $7.1 million in previously announced aggregate gross offering proceeds. Two offerings were tied to Oxbridge-originated reinsurance. The other three provided contractual exposure to specified reinsurance risks associated with HCI Group and Fortex Re through a separate investment structure.
The original annual return targets for T20 and T42 were 20% and 42%, respectively. At closing, SurancePlus announced revised targets of 26% and 32%, respectively, assuming no underwriting losses. The announced annual return targets for HCI Re 2026 Series A, B and C were 224%, 122% and 17%, respectively, under the same assumption. On October 21, HCI reported that it expected Hurricane Isaias to affect only Series B and that Series B remained profitable at that time. Actual returns depend on underwriting results and may differ materially from targets.
AI GridWorks
AI GridWorks develops the physical infrastructure that AI computing requires, including sites, utility power and powered data center shells. Since its August 2026 launch, AI GridWorks has advanced site evaluations, coordinated with utilities and engaged with prospective engineering, construction and financing partners.
The AI GridWorks team brings 44 years of combined experience across data center operations, power infrastructure, utilities, nuclear energy, strategic real estate, civil engineering and site development. That experience supports the work required to move projects from site selection and utility coordination through engineering, permitting and construction planning. Oxbridge’s leadership team brings experience in public-company management, capital markets, corporate finance and building and scaling companies. It supports AI GridWorks in evaluating financing options, structuring project capital and deciding when to deploy it.
AI GridWorks advances projects in phases and evaluates at each stage whether to sell a powered site, develop a powered shell, bring in a partner or retain ownership of a completed facility. At a completed facility, AI GridWorks may lease all or part of the space, operate the facility’s power and cooling systems, and fit out additional space as data halls as customer demand warrants.
SurancePlus and AI GridWorks bring complementary capabilities to Oxbridge. AI GridWorks brings together sites, utility power and entitlements to develop data center infrastructure. SurancePlus brings experience raising capital through tokenized securities. As projects advance, Oxbridge can evaluate tokenization alongside traditional financing and commit capital in stages based on each project’s progress and economics.
Oxbridge management has presented at and participated in a range of industry and investor conferences, where it met with institutional investors, capital providers and prospective partners to advance business development for both SurancePlus and AI GridWorks.
Financial Performance
General
Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was $421,000, or ($0.05) basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $187,000 or ($0.02) basic and diluted loss per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase in net loss is primarily due to a decline in net premiums earned for the period ended September 30, 2026, partially offset by higher net investment and other income and lower general and administrative expenses.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $223,000, or ($0.03) basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $2.19 million or ($0.30) basic and diluted loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a decrease in loss and loss adjustment expenses as there were no underwriting losses recorded for the period ended September 30, 2026. SurancePlus management fee income along with reduced professional fees and overall compensation contributed towards the decrease in net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026.
Premium Income
Net premiums earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 decreased to $86,000 from $555,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is due to a lower amount of capital deployed into reinsurance contracts during the quarter when compared to the prior period.
Net premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased to $1.01 million from $1.73 million for the nine-month ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is due to a lower amount of capital deployed into reinsurance contracts during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the prior period.
Expenses
For the quarter September 30, 2026, total expenses, including policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, decreased to $647,000 from $815,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to reduced professional fees and overall compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2026.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total expenses, including policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, decreased to $1.87 million from $4.99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to no underwriting losses incurred and recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Reduced professional fees and overall compensation also contributed towards the decrease for the nine months period ended September 30, 2026.
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents.
As of September 30, 2026, our combined cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents increased by $12.59 million to $19.57 million, from $6.98 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase is the net result of the investment in the new tokenized securities, release of collateral from 25-26 reinsurance treaty contracts and premium deposits made during the nine months ending September 30, 2026.
Financial Ratios
Loss Ratio. The loss ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to premiums earned and measures the underwriting profitability of our reinsurance business. The loss ratio remained consistent at 0% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 when compared with prior comparative period.
The loss ratio decreased to 0% from 132.4% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 when compared with prior comparative period. This was due to no losses being recognized for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2026 whereas a full limit loss was recognized for one of the reinsurance contracts during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2025.
Acquisition Cost Ratio. The acquisition cost ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs to net premiums earned. The acquisition cost ratio decreased marginally to 10.5% from 11% for the quarter ending September 30, 2026 when compared to prior comparable period. The decrease in acquisition cost ratio is due to reduced net premiums earned during the period ending September 30, 2026 when compared to prior comparable period.
The acquisition cost ratio increased marginally to 11.3% from 11% for the nine month period ending September 30, 2026 when compared to prior comparable period. The increase in acquisition cost ratio is due to reduced net premiums earned and marginal premium adjustments recognized during the period ending September 30, 2026 when compared to prior comparable period.
Expense Ratio. The expense ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses to net premiums earned. We use the expense ratio to measure our operating performance. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the expense ratio increased to 752.3%, from 146.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to reduced net premiums earned during the quarter, when compared with the prior year period.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the expense ratio increased to 185.8%, from 156.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to reduced net premiums earned during the nine months period ended September 30, 2026, when compared with the prior year period.
Combined ratio. We use the combined ratio to measure our underwriting performance. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the combined ratio increased to 752.3%, from 146.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to reduced net premiums earned during the quarter, when compared with the prior year period.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the combined ratio decreased to 185.8%, from 288.6% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to reduced net premiums earned during the nine months period ended September 30, 2026, when compared with the prior year period.
