GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OXBR), (the “Company”), a leader in digitizing reinsurance securities as tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), today reported its results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

SurancePlusTokenPlatform Performance and Growth

SurancePlus continues to demonstrate strong performance across its 2025–2026 tokenized reinsurance offerings. The Balanced Yield Token (EtaCat Re), which initially targeted a 20% annual return, is now anticipated to achieve a 25% return, and the High Yield Token (ZetaCat Re) remains on track to achieve its 42% return target. These results reflect our portfolio’s disciplined underwriting approach and highlight how tokenized reinsurance can deliver consistent, uncorrelated returns within the $750 billion total addressable reinsurance market.

Platform Expansion and Ecosystem Growth

During the quarter, SurancePlus continued advancing its blockchain infrastructure, interoperability, and market presence through strategic ecosystem relationships involving Solana, Alphaledger, and LayerZero, supporting expanded visibility, connectivity, and interoperability across more than 160 blockchain networks.

The Company also continued increasing investor engagement and platform awareness initiatives as participation across the SurancePlus ecosystem expands.

In addition to its current initiatives, SurancePlus is exploring opportunities to enable tokenized reinsurance participation for third-party carriers and counterparties.

Catastrophe Market Outlook and 2026–2027 Positioning

As the Company prepares for the upcoming 2026–2027 underwriting cycle and its planned T20 and T42 offerings targeting annual returns of 20% and 42%, respectively, current industry forecasts may support a constructive underwriting environment relative to recent years.

Recent forecasts issued by Colorado State University’s (CSU) Department of Atmospheric Science indicate the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season may trend below historical averages, supported in part by anticipated El Niño conditions, which have historically contributed to reduced Atlantic storm activity.

While hurricane activity remains inherently unpredictable, management believes the combination of continued strong portfolio performance and current climate forecasts positions the Company favorably entering the next contract cycle.

Strategic Outlook

In parallel, management is making meaningful progress advancing opportunities to broaden the SurancePlus model into additional high-quality, cash-generating asset categories, including initiatives involving tokenized data center revenue streams and infrastructure aligned with the continued growth of artificial intelligence.

The Company believes these initiatives have the potential to further expand the Company’s long-term growth opportunity and support future shareholder value creation.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company reported $8.19 million in cash and restricted cash, reflecting continued balance sheet strength and supporting its ongoing strategic initiatives.

The Company believes its continued platform execution, ecosystem development efforts, and balance sheet position support its long-term strategic objectives.

Looking Ahead

The Company remains focused on scaling its business through its real-world asset (RWA) initiatives, broadening market awareness, advancing strategic ecosystem relationships, and executing on its growing pipeline of tokenized asset opportunities.

With strong performance across its current offerings, continued ecosystem development involving Solana, Alphaledger, and LayerZero, and advancement of additional asset tokenization opportunities, the Company believes it is well positioned as it enters the 2026–2027 underwriting cycle.

Jay Madhu Chairman and CEO commented, “We are pleased with the continued strong performance of this year’s tokenized reinsurance contracts. As we approach the conclusion of the season, our existing offerings remain unaffected and on track to pay out 25% and 42%, respectively.

At the same time, we continue developing the reach and visibility of the SurancePlus platform through our growing relationships involving Solana, Alphaledger, and LayerZero, supporting expanded interoperability and ecosystem access. We also remain excited about the longer-term opportunities to expand our model into additional high-quality, cash-generating assets aligned with major growth trends, including artificial intelligence infrastructure.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company reported $8.19 million in cash and restricted cash, supporting our continued strategic initiatives and long-term growth opportunities.

We believe the combination of platform growth, strong contract performance, and expanding market opportunities positions the Company well as we enter the upcoming underwriting cycle.” 

Financial Performance

Net premiums earned for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased to $555,000 from $595,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is due to lower weighted average rate on reinsurance contracts in force during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the prior period.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $22,000, or $0 basic and diluted income per share compared to a net loss of $139,000, or ($0.02) basic and diluted loss per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a decreased allocation of underwriting income to tokenholders, as the Company itself is the major contributor toward 2025/26 treaty contracts in place, coupled with a decrease in unrealized loss on other investments during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 when compared with the prior period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, total expenses, including policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, increased to $583,000 from $570,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to increased professional costs relating to investor relations and our web3 subsidiary marketing.

As of March 31, 2026, our restricted cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.21 million to $8.19 million, from $6.98 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase is the net result of premium deposits made during the three-months ending March 31, 2026 and the $1 million proceeds from the loan payable.

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 March 31, 2026 when compared with prior comparative period.

Acquisition Cost Ratio. The acquisition cost ratio is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses to net premiums earned. The acquisition cost ratio measures our operational efficiency in producing, underwriting and administering our reinsurance business. The acquisition cost ratio increased marginally to 11.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from 10.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

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 three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the expense ratio increased to 105%, from 95.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to increased professional costs relating to investor relations and our web3 subsidiary marketing and operations.

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 three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the combined ratio increased to 105%, from 95.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to increased professional costs relating to investor relations and our web3 subsidiary marketing and operations.
