The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Russell, commented, "Our first quarter financial results were impacted by increased physical damage loss severity. We believe this was largely attributable to marketplace price increases in anticipation of tariffs on imported vehicles, auto parts and vehicle components. While uncertainty about the future of these tariffs still lingers, we, along with the automobile insurance industry, will focus on monitoring these trends and will respond accordingly by modifying our underwriting standards and seeking regulatory approval to increase our pricing where appropriate."
