 Accelerant Holdings rises over 2% as second quarter earnings beat expectations

ATLANTA - On Thursday, Accelerant Holdings (NYSE:ARX), a technology company operating a data-driven risk exchange platform for the specialty insurance market, reported strong second quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations.

The company saw its shares rise 2.15% in pre-market trading after the result.

The company reported adjusted earnings of $0.04 per share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, alongside revenue of $219.1 million. Exchange written premium reached $1.1 billion in the quarter, representing a 42% YoY increase. The company’s adjusted EBITDA surged to $63.5 million, compared to $13.0 million in the same period last year, with adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 29% from 10% a year ago.

"Our first quarter reporting as a public company was one of the strongest in our history — more Members wrote more business for more risk capital partners than ever before," said Jeff Radke, Co-Founder and CEO of Accelerant. "Over the last 12 months, Accelerant generated $3.8 billion of Exchange Written Premium, including $1.1 billion in the second quarter alone — a 42% year-over-year increase."

The company’s growth was driven by an increase in its member base, which expanded to 248 members from 186 in the same quarter last year. Net revenue retention improved to 151% from 135% a year ago. The company also reported net income of $13.1 million, compared to a net loss of $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Accelerant’s business model generates revenue by charging fees on Exchange Written Premium shared with risk capital partners. The company’s platform connects underwriters of specialty insurance risk with risk capital providers across 22 different countries and more than 500 specialty insurance products.

The strong quarterly performance comes shortly after the company’s initial public offering, which management believes validated the durability of their platform and provided resources to extend growth as they build their specialty insurance risk exchange.
