Ambac Financial Group, Inc. is a financial services holding company engaged in specialty property and casualty (P&C) insurance and insurance distribution, with a legacy financial guarantee segment in run-off, headquartered in New York City.
Ambac Financial Group reported a net loss of $28 million for the third quarter of 2024, primarily attributed to acquisition-related expenses. However, the company highlighted a significant growth in P&C premium production and a substantial improvement in its specialty P&C insurance combined ratio.
Key performance metrics include an 86% increase in total P&C premium production to $260 million compared to the previous year. Revenue from the Insurance Distribution segment rose by 64%, while the Specialty P&C Insurance segment saw a 158% increase in revenue. The company’s recent acquisition of Beat Capital Partners is expected to boost its distribution business significantly.
Ambac also announced a $50 million stock repurchase program, underscoring its commitment to enhancing shareholder value. The sale of its Legacy Financial Guarantee business is awaiting final regulatory approval, which is anticipated to finalize soon.
Looking ahead, Ambac is optimistic about transitioning to a pure-play P&C franchise in 2025, with management expressing confidence in achieving a robust return profile and expanding market opportunities.
