2 2 Citizens was created in 2002 in the merger of the state’s two insurers of last resort, the Florida Windstorm Underwriting Association (FWUA) and the Florida Residential Property and Casualty Joint Underwriting Association (FRPCJUA). The merger has allowed Citizens to become exempt from all federal taxes, resulting in millions of dollars in annual savings. Citizens is also designed to realize additional administrative and economic efficiencies over its predecessor organizations. Quick Reference –FWUA: created in 1972 to provide wind-only coverage in coastal regions. –FRPCJUA: created in December, 1992 following Hurricane Andrew for Floridians unable to find homeowners insurance. Creation of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation

13 13 Florida Residential Admitted Market Breakdown  The Florida residential property insurance admitted market is divided into 4 major parts based on policy counts:  Citizens – 21%  “Pups” of the major national writers – 28%  Florida-only domestic companies – 34%  Others, including USAA, etc. – 17%

16 16 Determination of Rates Starting in 2002, rates were based on the “top twenty” insurers Citizens rates were chosen to be equal to the highest rated company in a particular territory Citizens’ rates were set to be uncompetitive Only eligible for insurance with Citizens if you could not get insurance elsewhere

17 17 Rates In 2006, the “highest rated” mandate was relaxed Citizens’ rates were ordered to be based on actuarial principles Rate indications showed Citizens’ rates to be inadequate Rate increases went into effective 1/1/2007 A policyholder is now eligible for coverage by Citizens only if any offers from admitted insurers are more than 15% higher than Citizens’ rates for comparable coverage

18 18 Rates The rate increases effective January 1, 2007 were rescinded by legislative action. Any amounts collected were ordered to be refunded, and rates were frozen at 12/31/06 levels for all of 2007 and 2008 Thereafter, Citizens will submit recommended rates to OIR and OIR will set rates within 45 days; no challenge is allowed. The senate is considering a bill that would extent the rate freeze until 1/1/2010 with severe restrictions on rate increases in years 2011, 2012, 2013

19 19 Depopulation Programs and Projections  Only non-bonus takeout contracts for PLA and HRA are currently available.  Assuming carrier must remove during the 18-month contract period a minimum of either: 10,000 policies with wind coverage; or Policies with wind coverage with TIV (coverages A, B, C, and D) of $2 billion.  Each assumption during a contract period must remove a minimum of either: 2,500 policies; or TIV of $500 million.  Policies must be retained by the assuming carrier for a minimum of three (3) years.  CLA takeout program being developed. Projected implementation to occur in 2008.  Projected number of policies to be assumed during 2008: PLA: 320,000 CLA: 5,500

21 21 Capital Build-UP Incentive Program Created in 2006 for the purpose of increasing the availability of residential property insurance The Florida legislature appropriated $250 Million for use in providing Surplus Notes to qualified companies Estimated that 1.7 million policies were written by other companies as a result of this program This program has also lead to 165K policies being removed from Citizens Estimated that 480K policies have been kept of Citizens due to this program

22 22 Capital Build-UP Incentive Program – Goals Further spread of hurricane risk to new capital in Florida Continued depopulation of Citizens Mitigation of policy growth in Citizens Reduction in exposure and assessment potential for Florida Currently considering making more capital available for 2008

23 23 Wind Mitigation Credits In 2001, there were changes to the Florida Building Codes ARA conducted a study to quantify the impact of the new building codes Studied characteristics such as roof covering, roof shape, roof-to wall connections, openings, building height, roof framing, etc Developed hurricane severity relativities OIR has mandated wind premium discounts based on results of this study

26 26 Florida Hurricane Cat Fund Purpose : Improve the availability and affordability of property insurance in Florida by providing inexpensive reinsurance to insurers Created in 1993 after Andrew Under the control and direction of the State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA - Board of Trustees: Governor, CFO, Attorney General ) Nine member committee – 3 Consumer reps, 3 industry business professionals (agent, reinsurer, primary insurer), 3 technical professionals (meteorologist, engineer, & actuary) Participation is mandatory FHCF provides more then 50% of all reinsurance coverage in the state

27 27 Florida Hurricane Cat Fund  Insurers pay the FHCF a premium based on their proportionate residential risk in the state – $1.4B of premium in 2007  Insurers have individual retentions – Industrial-wide retention of $6.1B in 2007  After the retention is filled, FHCF reimburses insurers for 90% of their covered residential losses; insurers pay 10% co-payment (There are 25% and 45% co-payment options available)  FHCF’s total liability is defined and limited statutorily – maximum 2007 liability was $27.85B

28 28 FHCF - Funding  The FHCF receives annual reimbursement premiums from participating insurers; these premiums are actuarially set to be equal to the average annual expected loss for the FHCF  If losses occur, and accumulated reimbursement premiums are insufficient to pay claims, the FHCF can issue tax-exempt bonds secured by emergency assessments for up to 30 years on a broad range of P&C insurance premiums in the state (This liability for losses is limited to the lesser of the statutory maximum or what the FHCF can raise in the capital markets)  The “post-event” bonds would be repaid by an ongoing emergency assessment of up to 6% per year on direct premiums for most P&C lines of business in Florida (current assessment base is $37.4B)  The FHCF has one tax-exempt bond issue outstanding in the amount of $1.35B with a final maturity of 2012, secured by a 1% emergency assessment

29 29 FHCF - Liquidity  $2.8 B of proceeds from 2006 pre-event extendible note transaction  $1.0 B from 2006 reimbursement premiums  $1.4 B collected from 2007 reimbursement premiums  Total of $5.2 B on hand
