Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

FedNat Holding Company (the “Company”) estimates that it incurred $12.2 million of weather-related losses, net of its quota-share reinsurance, during the three months ended March 31, 2019. This amount includes an updated estimate, based on industry-wide loss data and on the Company’s own claims analysis to date, of $11.0 million of losses, net of quota-share reinsurance, related to the March 27, 2019, hail storm that passed through parts of Florida, including Brevard County, where FedNat Insurance Company (“FNIC”) and Monarch National Insurance Company (“MNIC”) have residential property market share above their state-wide averages. Weather-related losses in the quarter also include $0.9 million of development, net of quota-share reinsurance, on hail storms that impacted central Florida and South Carolina during the first half of 2018. The Company’s catastrophic reinsurance protection provides coverage on an event only if covered losses from the event exceed $20 million for FNIC and $3 million for MNIC.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby intended to be furnished and, as provided in General Instruction B.6 of Form 8-K, such information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
