Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of significant accounting policies Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically reviews its estimates and assumptions. These reviews include evaluating the adequacy of reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, allowance for credit losses and uncollectible reinsurance, fair value of investments, as well as evaluating the investment portfolio for credit impairments.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term investments have maturities greater than three months but less than one year at the date of purchase.
Fixed-maturity and equity securities
Fixed-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are excluded from earnings but are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income and stockholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes.
Equity securities are reported at fair value. Changes in unrealized gains and losses in fair value of these investments are recognized in net income.
The Company regularly reviews all its available-for-sale investments with unrealized losses to assess whether the decline in the fair value is deemed to be a credit loss. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding the determination of credit losses.
Interest on fixed-maturity securities is credited to earnings as it accrues. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the lives of the related fixed maturities, or to the earliest call date for
securities purchased at a premium. This method includes an adjustment for estimated principal prepayments, if any, on asset- and mortgage-backed securities. To the extent that the estimated lives of such securities change as a result of changes in estimated prepayment rates, the adjustments are included in net investment income using the retrospective method.
Dividends on equity securities are included in earnings on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses on disposition of investments are based on specific identification of the investments sold on the trade date.
Real estate investments
Real estate investments include real estate and the related assets purchased for investment purposes. Real estate and the related depreciable assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets and is included in net investment income. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease and is included in net investment income. Land is not depreciated. Real estate is evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the real estate may not be recoverable.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance premiums, commissions, and ceded unearned premiums on reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with that used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The Company receives ceding commissions in accordance with certain reinsurance treaties. The ceding commissions are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses.
Reinsurance recoverables represent paid losses and loss adjustment expenses and reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses ceded to reinsurers that are subject to reimbursement under reinsurance treaties. The method for determining reinsurance recoverables for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses involves reviewing actuarial estimates of gross unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses to determine the Company's ability to cede unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses under the Company's existing reinsurance contracts. This method is continually reviewed and updated and any resulting adjustments are reflected in earnings in the period identified. See Note 8 for a further discussion of the Company's reinsurance program.
Premiums receivable, net
Premiums receivable balances are carried at face value, net of any allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of amounts considered uncollectible based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of receivables that are past due. The estimate considers historical loss data, current and future economic conditions and specific identification of collectability concerns where applicable. The following table presents the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for premiums receivable for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
Year Ended December 31,

Write-offs of uncollectible premiums receivable(3,854)(4,474)
Ending balance$26,926 $13,383 
Deferred policy acquisition costs, net of ceding commissions
The Company defers commissions, net of ceding commissions, and certain other costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of insurance contracts. All eligible costs are capitalized and charged to expense in proportion to premium earned over the estimated policy life. To the extent that unearned premiums on existing policies are not adequate to cover the related costs and expenses, referred to as a premium deficiency, deferred policy acquisition costs are charged to earnings. The Company considers anticipated investment income in determining whether a premium deficiency exists.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives range from 39 years for the building and parking deck, 15 to 20 years for land improvements, 7 to 10 years for furniture and equipment, and 3 to 7 years for electronic data processing hardware and software.
Property and equipment are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consists of the following:

Total property and equipment, net$82,924 $63,404 
Construction in progress includes capitalized expenses related to the development of the new corporate headquarters' building. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets are comprised solely of regulatory approvals granted by the various state insurance departments to write insurance business in the respective states on a non-admitted basis. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets is not permitted. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment during the fourth quarter on an annual basis, or earlier if there is reason to suspect that their values may have been diminished or impaired. There were no impairments recognized in December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, no triggering events occurred that suggested an updated review was necessary.
Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses
Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management's best estimate of ultimate unpaid cost of all reported and unreported losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred prior to the financial statement date. The estimates are based on several actuarial methods that use a variety of inputs including initial expected loss ratios, loss development patterns, paid losses, reported losses, claim counts and price indices. All estimates are regularly reviewed and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments are reflected in the results of operations in the period in which they
are determined. Although management believes that the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, it is possible that the Company’s actual incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses will not develop in a manner consistent with the assumptions inherent in the determination of these reserves. If actual liabilities exceed recorded amounts, there will be an increase to the Company’s reserves resulting in a reduction in net income and stockholders’ equity in the period in which the deficiency is identified. Furthermore, management may determine that recorded reserves are more than adequate to cover expected losses which will result in a reduction to the reserves. The Company believes that the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are adequate and represent a reasonable estimate of the Company's future obligations. See Note 7 for a further discussion of reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.
Revenue recognition
Premiums are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the insurance contracts, net of ceded reinsurance. Unearned premiums are calculated on a daily pro rata basis. Fee income is recognized as revenue when the related premium is written.
Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the recorded amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which such change was enacted. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based on the Company's assessment of the realizability of such amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realizable.
The Company provides for uncertain tax positions, and the related interest and penalties, based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. To the extent that the anticipated tax outcome of these uncertain tax positions changes, such changes in estimate will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
The Company uses the portfolio approach to release stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") related to its available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities. Under this approach, stranded tax effects remaining in AOCI are released only when the entire portfolio of the available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities are liquidated, sold or extinguished.
Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from noninsurance policy claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is estimated for each class of financial instrument based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. This guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value hierarchy disclosures are based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
See Note 3 for further details regarding fair value disclosures.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is expensed based upon the estimated fair value of employee stock awards. Compensation cost for awards of equity instruments to employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of those awards and compensation expense is recognized over the service period that the awards vest. Forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards are recognized as they occur. See Note 9 for further discussion and related disclosures regarding stock-based compensation.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. The ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and will be effective for interim periods beginning in 2025. Refer to Note 15 for the Company's segment reporting disclosures.

Available-for-sale investments in a loss position
The Company regularly reviews all its available-for-sale investments with unrealized losses to assess whether the decline in the fair value is deemed to be a credit loss. The Company considers a number of factors in completing its review of credit losses, including the extent to which a security's fair value has been below cost and the financial condition of an issuer. In addition to specific issuer information, the Company also evaluates the current market and interest rate environment. Generally, a change in a security’s value caused by a change in the market or interest rate environment does not constitute a credit loss.
For fixed-maturity securities, the Company also considers whether it intends to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery and the ability to recover all amounts outstanding when contractually due. When assessing whether it intends to sell a fixed-maturity security or if it is likely to be required to sell a fixed-maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost, the Company evaluates facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, decisions to reposition the investment portfolio, potential sales of investments to meet cash flow needs and potential sales of investments to capitalize on favorable pricing.
For fixed-maturity securities where a decline in fair value is below the amortized cost basis and the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, an impairment is recognized in net income based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment. For fixed-maturity securities that the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost, the Company compares the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost of the security. Inputs into the present value cash flow analysis include default rates and recoverability rates based on credit rating. The extent to which the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost of the security represents the credit-related portion of the impairment, which is recognized in net income through an allowance for credit losses. Any remaining decline in fair value represents the noncredit portion of the impairment, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Company reports investment income due and accrued separately from fixed-maturity securities, available for sale, and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for investment income due and accrued. Investment income due and accrued is written off through earnings at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on payments.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company's credit loss review resulted in an allowance for credit losses on four securities. The following table presents changes in the allowance for expected credit losses on available-for-sale securities:

At December 31, 2024, in addition to the securities included in the allowance for credit losses, the Company held 1,031 fixed-maturity securities with a total estimated fair value of $2.0 billion and gross unrealized losses of $137.0 million. Of those securities, 616 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than one year. As discussed above, the Company regularly reviews all fixed-maturity securities within its investment portfolio to determine whether a credit loss has occurred. Based on the Company's review as of December 31, 2024, except for securities previously discussed, the securities in unrealized loss positions were caused by interest rate changes or other market factors and were not credit-specific issues, nor did the Company intend to sell these securities. At December 31, 2024, 79.8% of the Company’s fixed-maturity securities were rated "A-" or better and all of Company's fixed-maturity securities made expected coupon payments under the contractual terms of the securities.

Real estate investments
Real estate investments represents directly owned property held for investment purposes and consisted of land with a carrying value of $15.0 million and $14.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There was no accumulated depreciation on real estate investments at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold the parking deck, one of the office buildings and the related in-place leases of its real estate investment property for approximately $62.0 million in cash, net of seller’s costs. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $4.3 million, which is included in net realized investment gains on the consolidated statement of income. The Company used the net sale proceeds to pay down a portion of its Credit Facility. Concurrent with the sale of the investment property, the Company refined its plans for the remainder of the property and determined the predominant use of the remaining office building would be for future office space expansion. Upon this determination, the Company reclassified the carrying value of the building to construction in progress within property and equipment.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair value measurements Fair value measurements
Fair value is estimated for each class of financial instrument based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price in the principal market that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability to facilitate an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange and not acting under duress. Fair value hierarchy disclosures are based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Adjustments to transaction prices or quoted market prices may be required in illiquid or disorderly markets in order to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable for the asset or liability and are significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair values of the Company's investment portfolio are estimated using unadjusted prices obtained by its investment accounting vendor from nationally recognized third-party pricing services, where available. Values for U.S. Treasuries, exchange traded funds and common stocks are generally based on Level 1 inputs which use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. For other fixed-maturity securities and non-redeemable preferred stock, the pricing vendors use a pricing methodology involving the market approach, including pricing models which use prices and relevant market information regarding a particular security or securities with similar characteristics to establish a valuation. The estimates of fair value of these investments are included in the amounts disclosed as Level 2. For those investments where significant inputs are unobservable, the Company's investment accounting vendor obtains valuations from pricing vendors or brokers using the market approach and income approach valuation techniques and are disclosed as Level 3.
Management performs several procedures to ascertain the reasonableness of investment values included in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2024 and 2023, including 1) obtaining and reviewing internal control reports from the Company's investment accounting vendor that assess fair values from third party pricing services, 2) discussing with the Company's investment accounting vendor its process for reviewing and validating pricing obtained from third party pricing services and 3) reviewing the security pricing received from the Company's investment accounting vendor and monitoring changes in unrealized gains and losses at the individual security level. The Company has evaluated the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs.
The following tables present the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.
The carrying amount of the Company's fixed-rate senior notes was $175.0 million, less debt issuance cost, and the corresponding estimated fair value was $168.6 million and $171.6 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The fair value measurement was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis that factors in current market yields for comparable borrowing arrangements under the Company's credit profile. Since this methodology is based upon market yields for comparable arrangements, the measurement is categorized as Level 2. The estimated fair value of outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving Credit Facility approximated its carrying value at December 31, 2024 and 2023. See Note 11 for further information regarding the Company's debt arrangements.
The Company holds cash equivalents that are managed as part of its investment portfolio and, due to the short-term maturities of these assets, the carrying value of these investments approximates fair value. The Company held cash equivalents of $16.1 million and $11.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had state net operating losses ("NOLs") of $186.9 million and $126.8 million, respectively. The state NOLs are available to offset future taxable income or reduce taxes payable and begin expiring in 2029. 
Management evaluates the need for a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a tax valuation allowance equal to the state NOLs and the deferred tax assets, net of existing deferred tax liabilities that were expected to reverse in future periods, related to certain state jurisdictions. No other valuation allowances were established against the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023, as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized given the carry back availability, reversal of existing temporary differences and future taxable income. With respect to deferred tax assets associated with unrealized losses on fixed-maturity securities, management has the ability and intent to execute a tax planning strategy to hold those securities to recovery or maturity to the extent not matched with realized capital gains or available carry back to ensure recognition of the deferred tax asset. After consideration of all available evidence, we concluded that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized.
The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions in 2024 or 2023. Management is not aware of any events that would give rise to any material uncertain tax positions.

Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claims Adjustment Expense, Activity in Liability [Abstract]  
Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses
The reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent the Company's estimated ultimate cost of all unreported and reported but unpaid insured claims and the cost to adjust these claims. Reserves are estimated using individual case-basis valuations of reported claims and statistical analyses. Case reserves are established for individual claims that have been reported to the Company, typically by the Company's insureds or their brokers. Based on the information provided, case reserves are established by estimating the ultimate losses from the claim, including defense costs associated with the ultimate settlement of the claim. Incurred-but-not-reported ("IBNR") reserves are determined using actuarial methods to estimate losses that have occurred but have not yet been reported to the Company. Various actuarial methods are used to arrive at the Company's loss reserve estimates for each line of business. These methods utilize numerous inputs including initial expected loss ratios, loss development patterns, paid losses, reported losses, claim counts and price indices. The Company also uses industry and peer-group data, in addition to its own data, to assist in analyzing loss development patterns by line of business.
As part of the reserving process, the Company reviews historical data and considers the effect of various factors on claims development patterns including polices written on a "claims made" versus "occurrence" basis. Policies written on a claims made basis provide coverage to the insured only for losses incurred during the coverage period, and only if the claim was reported during a specified reporting period. Policies written on an occurrence basis provide coverage to the insured for liabilities arising from events occurring during the term of the policy, regardless of when a claim is actually made. Accordingly, claims related to policies written on an occurrence basis may arise many years after a policy has lapsed. Property losses, while written on an occurrence basis, are generally reported within a short time from the date of loss, and in most instances, property claims are settled and paid within a relatively short period of time.
The following table presents a reconciliation of consolidated beginning and ending reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses:

During the year ended December 31, 2024, prior accident years developed favorably by $37.7 million, of which $57.6 million was attributable to the 2021 through 2023 accident years due to lower emergence of reported losses than expected across most lines of business. This favorable development was offset in part by adverse development primarily from the 2017 through 2019 accident years due to construction defect claims that are more exposed to inflation, from the 2020 accident year due to a large property claim and more conservative actuarial assumptions in the 2021 through 2023 accident years for lines of business exposed to construction liability.
Current accident year incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 included $25.5 million of net catastrophe losses primarily related to Hurricanes Milton, Helene and Francine and tornadoes in the Midwest.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, prior accident years developed favorably by $35.8 million, of which $49.0 million was attributable to the 2021 and 2022 accident years due to lower emergence of reported losses than expected across most lines of business. This favorable development was offset in part by adverse development largely from the 2017 through 2019 accident years due to construction defect claims that are more exposed to inflation.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, prior accident years developed favorably by $35.9 million, of which $41.8 million was attributable to the 2020 and 2021 accident years due to lower emergence of reported losses than expected across most lines of business. This favorable development was offset in part by adverse development largely from the 2016 and 2018 accident years due to routine variability in reported losses and modest adjustments in actuarial assumptions.
Current accident year incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 included $26.6 million of catastrophe losses primarily related to Hurricane Ian.

Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract]  
Reinsurance Reinsurance
The Company purchases reinsurance from other insurance companies ("reinsurers") in order to limit its exposure to large losses and enable it to underwrite policies with sufficient limits to meet policyholder needs. In a reinsurance transaction, an insurance company transfers, or cedes, part or all of its exposure to the reinsurer that receives a portion of the premium. The ceding of insurance does not legally discharge the Company from its primary liability for the full amount of the policy coverage, and therefore the Company will be required to pay the loss and bear collection risk if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreement.
The following table summarizes the effect of reinsurance on premiums written and earned:

Credit risk exists with reinsurance ceded to the extent that any reinsurer is unable to meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements. Allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from its exposure to individual reinsurers. All reinsurance recoverables are from companies with A.M. Best ratings of "A-" (Excellent) or better. To further reduce credit exposure to reinsurance recoverable balances, the Company has received letters of credit from certain reinsurers that are not authorized as reinsurers under U.S. state insurance regulations. The Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $0.9 million and $0.7 million related to its reinsurance balances at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively; however, the deterioration in the credit quality of existing reinsurers or disputes over reinsurance agreements could result in future charges.
At December 31, 2024, reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid losses from the Company’s five largest reinsurers were $83.8 million, $37.6 million, $34.3 million, $30.0 million and $20.5 million, representing 61.0% of the total balance.
At December 31, 2024, unearned premiums ceded to five reinsurers were $11.5 million, $6.3 million, $5.5 million, $4.8 million and $4.7 million representing 62.2% of the total balance.

On July 27, 2016, the Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2016 Incentive Plan") became effective. The 2016 Incentive Plan, which is administered by the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, provides for grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to officers, employees, directors, independent contractors and consultants. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Incentive Plan may not exceed 2,073,832.

Restricted Stock Awards
During 2024, the Board of Directors approved, and the Company granted, restricted stock awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan. The restricted stock awards were valued on the date of grant and will vest over a period of 1 to 4 years corresponding to the anniversary date of the grants. The fair value of restricted stock awards was determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date or, if no common stock was traded on the grant date, the last preceding date for which there was a sale of common stock. Except for restrictions placed on the transferability of restricted stock, holders of unvested restricted stock have full stockholder’s rights, including voting rights and the right to receive cash dividends. Unvested restricted stock awards and accrued dividends, if any, are forfeited upon the termination of service to or employment with the Company.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Underwriting information Segment and underwriting information
The Company has one reportable segment, the Excess and Surplus Lines Insurance segment, which primarily offers commercial excess and surplus lines liability and property insurance products through its underwriting divisions in the United States. The Company reports operating and financial results in a single segment based on the Company's exclusive focus on property and casualty insurance in the excess and surplus lines market and the consolidated information used by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in evaluating the financial performance of its business and allocating resources. Additionally, while the
Company's individual underwriting divisions are evaluated on premium volume, the CODM does not use discrete financial information for measures of profit or loss in making resource allocation decisions.
The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses consolidated net income to allocate resources primarily during the annual budgeting process and uses that measure to assess performance by considering budget-to-actual variances and evaluating financial results. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The accounting policies used to prepare the segment reporting data are the same as those described in Note 1.

Statutory Accounting Practices, Statutory Amount Available for Dividend Payments [Abstract]  
Statutory financial information Statutory financial information
Kinsale Insurance maintains its accounts in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state regulatory authorities that vary in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. In converting from statutory accounting principles to U.S. GAAP, typical adjustments include deferral of policy acquisition costs, the inclusion of statutory non-admitted assets and the inclusion of net unrealized gains or losses relating to fixed maturities in stockholders’ equity. The Company does not use any permitted practices that are different from prescribed statutory accounting practices.
Statutory net income and statutory capital and surplus for Kinsale Insurance as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 and for the years then ended are summarized as follows:
Year ended December 31,

Statutory capital and surplus$1,525,851 $1,167,382 $835,664 

Kinsale Insurance is subject to risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements. RBC is a method developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") to determine the minimum amount of statutory capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formula for determining the amount of RBC is calculated using various factors, weighted based on the perceived degree of risk, which are applied to certain financial balances and financial activity. The adequacy of a company’s actual capital is evaluated by a comparison to the RBC results, as determined by the formula. Companies that do not maintain statutory capital and surplus at a level in excess of the company action level RBC are required to take specified actions. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, actual statutory capital and surplus for Kinsale Insurance substantially exceeded the regulatory requirements. 
Dividend payments to Kinsale from Kinsale Insurance are restricted by state insurance laws as to the amount that may be paid without prior approval of the regulatory authorities of Arkansas. The maximum dividend distribution is limited by Arkansas law to the greater of 10% of policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the previous year or statutory net income, not including realized capital gains, for the previous calendar year. Dividend payments are further limited to that part of available policyholder surplus which is derived from net profits on its business. The maximum dividend distribution that can be paid by Kinsale Insurance during 2025 without prior approval is $351.9 million.

KINSALE CAPITAL GROUP, INC.
Condensed Financial Information of Registrant
Notes to Condensed Financial Information
(Parent Company Only)
1. Accounting policies
Organization
Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware domiciled insurance holding company, was formed on June 3, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring and managing insurance entities.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in consolidated subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings of consolidated subsidiaries since the date of acquisition. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Estimates and assumptions
Preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Those estimates are inherently subject to change, and actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
Debt
Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement
On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (as subsequently amended, the "Note Purchase Agreement") with PGIM, Inc. ("Prudential") and the purchasers of the Series A and Series B Senior Notes (as defined below). The Note Purchase Agreement provides for issuance of senior promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million through September 18, 2026.
Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, on July 22, 2022, the Company issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.15% Series A Senior Notes Due July 22, 2034 (collectively, the "Series A Notes”), and on September 18, 2023, the Company issued a $50.0 million aggregate principal amount 6.21% Series B Senior Note ("Series B Note") due July 22, 2034.
The Series A and B Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Principal payments on the Series A Notes are required annually beginning on July 22, 2030 in equal installments of $25.0 million through July 22, 2034.
Principal payments on the Series B Note are required annually beginning on July 22, 2030 in equal installments of $10.0 million through July 22, 2034.
Credit Agreement
On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and as issuing bank, Truist Bank, as syndication agent, and the lenders party
thereto (collectively, the "Lenders"). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides the Company with a $100.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), with the option to increase the aggregate commitment by $30.0 million. The Company is required to pay a Commitment Fee Rate (as defined therein) of 0.25% on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment (as defined therein). Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes (which may include, without limitation, to fund future growth, to finance working capital needs, to fund capital expenditures, and to refinance, redeem or repay indebtedness). In September 2023, the Company used proceeds from the sale of its real estate investment property to pay down $62.0 million from the Credit Facility.
The loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.625% or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined therein) plus 0.625%. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the annual weighted-average interest rate of borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.91%.
The following table presents the Company's outstanding debt as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Interest paid under both agreements totaled $10.3 million, $10.5 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Both the Note Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contain representations and affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants customary for agreements of this type, as well as customary events of default provisions. In October 2024, the covenants limiting restricted payments under the Note Purchase Agreement and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were amended. The amendments allow the Company to make restricted payments so long as the aggregate amount of all such restricted payments does not exceed the greater of $300.0 million and 6.5% of the total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under both the Note Purchase Agreement and the Credit Facility.
Dividends from subsidiary
Cash dividends paid to Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kinsale Insurance Company, were $47.0 million for year ended December 31, 2024. There were no cash dividends paid by the insurance subsidiary for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from non-insurance policy claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of consolidation
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Use of estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically reviews its estimates and assumptions. These reviews include evaluating the adequacy of reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, allowance for credit losses and uncollectible reinsurance, fair value of investments, as well as evaluating the investment portfolio for credit impairments.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term investments have maturities greater than three months but less than one year at the date of purchase.
Fixed maturity and equity securities
Fixed-maturity and equity securities
Fixed-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are excluded from earnings but are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income and stockholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes.
Equity securities are reported at fair value. Changes in unrealized gains and losses in fair value of these investments are recognized in net income.
The Company regularly reviews all its available-for-sale investments with unrealized losses to assess whether the decline in the fair value is deemed to be a credit loss. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding the determination of credit losses.
Interest on fixed-maturity securities is credited to earnings as it accrues. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the lives of the related fixed maturities, or to the earliest call date for
securities purchased at a premium. This method includes an adjustment for estimated principal prepayments, if any, on asset- and mortgage-backed securities. To the extent that the estimated lives of such securities change as a result of changes in estimated prepayment rates, the adjustments are included in net investment income using the retrospective method.
Dividends on equity securities are included in earnings on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses on disposition of investments are based on specific identification of the investments sold on the trade date.
Investment Real Estate
Real estate investments
Real estate investments include real estate and the related assets purchased for investment purposes. Real estate and the related depreciable assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets and is included in net investment income. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease and is included in net investment income. Land is not depreciated. Real estate is evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the real estate may not be recoverable.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance
Reinsurance premiums, commissions, and ceded unearned premiums on reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with that used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The Company receives ceding commissions in accordance with certain reinsurance treaties. The ceding commissions are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses.
Reinsurance recoverables represent paid losses and loss adjustment expenses and reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses ceded to reinsurers that are subject to reimbursement under reinsurance treaties. The method for determining reinsurance recoverables for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses involves reviewing actuarial estimates of gross unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses to determine the Company's ability to cede unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses under the Company's existing reinsurance contracts. This method is continually reviewed and updated and any resulting adjustments are reflected in earnings in the period identified. See Note 8 for a further discussion of the Company's reinsurance program.
Premiums receivable, net
Premiums receivable, net
Premiums receivable balances are carried at face value, net of any allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of amounts considered uncollectible based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of receivables that are past due. The estimate considers historical loss data, current and future economic conditions and specific identification of collectability concerns where applicable. The following table presents the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for premiums receivable for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Deferred policy acquisition costs, net of ceding commissions
Deferred policy acquisition costs, net of ceding commissions
The Company defers commissions, net of ceding commissions, and certain other costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of insurance contracts. All eligible costs are capitalized and charged to expense in proportion to premium earned over the estimated policy life. To the extent that unearned premiums on existing policies are not adequate to cover the related costs and expenses, referred to as a premium deficiency, deferred policy acquisition costs are charged to earnings. The Company considers anticipated investment income in determining whether a premium deficiency exists.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives range from 39 years for the building and parking deck, 15 to 20 years for land improvements, 7 to 10 years for furniture and equipment, and 3 to 7 years for electronic data processing hardware and software.
Property and equipment are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consists of the following:

Construction in progress includes capitalized expenses related to the development of the new corporate headquarters' building. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Indefinite-Lived intangible assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets are comprised solely of regulatory approvals granted by the various state insurance departments to write insurance business in the respective states on a non-admitted basis. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets is not permitted. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment during the fourth quarter on an annual basis, or earlier if there is reason to suspect that their values may have been diminished or impaired. There were no impairments recognized in December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, no triggering events occurred that suggested an updated review was necessary.
Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses
Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses
Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management's best estimate of ultimate unpaid cost of all reported and unreported losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred prior to the financial statement date. The estimates are based on several actuarial methods that use a variety of inputs including initial expected loss ratios, loss development patterns, paid losses, reported losses, claim counts and price indices. All estimates are regularly reviewed and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments are reflected in the results of operations in the period in which they
are determined. Although management believes that the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, it is possible that the Company’s actual incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses will not develop in a manner consistent with the assumptions inherent in the determination of these reserves. If actual liabilities exceed recorded amounts, there will be an increase to the Company’s reserves resulting in a reduction in net income and stockholders’ equity in the period in which the deficiency is identified. Furthermore, management may determine that recorded reserves are more than adequate to cover expected losses which will result in a reduction to the reserves. The Company believes that the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are adequate and represent a reasonable estimate of the Company's future obligations. See Note 7 for a further discussion of reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.
Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition
Premiums are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the insurance contracts, net of ceded reinsurance. Unearned premiums are calculated on a daily pro rata basis. Fee income is recognized as revenue when the related premium is written.
Income taxes
Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the recorded amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which such change was enacted. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based on the Company's assessment of the realizability of such amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realizable.
The Company provides for uncertain tax positions, and the related interest and penalties, based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. To the extent that the anticipated tax outcome of these uncertain tax positions changes, such changes in estimate will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
The Company uses the portfolio approach to release stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") related to its available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities. Under this approach, stranded tax effects remaining in AOCI are released only when the entire portfolio of the available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities are liquidated, sold or extinguished.
Commitments and contingencies
Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from noninsurance policy claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is estimated for each class of financial instrument based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. This guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value hierarchy disclosures are based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
See Note 3 for further details regarding fair value disclosures.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is expensed based upon the estimated fair value of employee stock awards. Compensation cost for awards of equity instruments to employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of those awards and compensation expense is recognized over the service period that the awards vest. Forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards are recognized as they occur. See Note 9 for further discussion and related disclosures regarding stock-based compensation.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. The ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and will be effective for interim periods beginning in 2025.

The net realized gains or losses on sales of equity securities represent the total gains or losses from the purchase dates of the equity securities. The change in unrealized gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income consists of two components: (1) the reversal of the gain or loss recognized in previous periods on equity securities sold and (2) the change in unrealized gain or loss resulting from mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities still held.
Schedule of Real Estate Properties
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold the parking deck, one of the office buildings and the related in-place leases of its real estate investment property for approximately $62.0 million in cash, net of seller’s costs. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $4.3 million, which is included in net realized investment gains on the consolidated statement of income. The Company used the net sale proceeds to pay down a portion of its Credit Facility. Concurrent with the sale of the investment property, the Company refined its plans for the remainder of the property and determined the predominant use of the remaining office building would be for future office space expansion. Upon this determination, the Company reclassified the carrying value of the building to construction in progress within property and equipment.
