Company

Company overview

Exzeo Group helps insurers and their agents quote insurance, assess risks, issue and renew policies, and handle claims through its proprietary Exzeo Platform. It combines software with work performed on insurers’ behalf rather than taking on insurance risk or issuing policies in its own name. Underwriting support and policy management generate most revenue, with insurers paying fees largely tied to the premiums Exzeo administers. Claims handling contributes a smaller share, with fees linked to premiums, claims activity or claim payments.

Revenue comes almost entirely from a small group of insurers affiliated with HCI, Exzeo’s majority owner. The business therefore depends heavily on those relationships and the premium volume those customers bring to the platform. Most policies it manages are written in Florida.

Exzeo operates under authority delegated by licensed insurers. State rules can limit the services covered by those agreements, and Exzeo must maintain the relevant insurance agency, managing general agent and claims adjuster licenses to keep serving customers.

Exzeo’s results hinge on premiums managed for HCI-affiliated insurers, overwhelmingly concentrated in Florida, while weather events also affect claims-service and catastrophe-software fees.

  • Exzeo depends on HCI Group, Inc.’s affiliated insurers for a substantial majority of its revenue: they use its software to assess insurance applications, administer policies and handle claims. HCI sells homeowners’ property and casualty insurance mainly in Florida, making its home-insurance business the customer base to watch for Exzeo.
