#Net loss and cash flow

Kingsway reported a consolidated net loss of $3.2 million, compared with a net loss of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 million, compared with $2.1 million.

Cash from Operations reached $4.1 million during the quarter. Total net debt stood at $60.3 million as of September 30, 2026, compared with $62.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

The company said its operating subsidiaries recorded approximately $0.6 million of revenue re-deferrals during the quarter. JT Fitzgerald, Kingsway’s President and CEO, said that, after normalising for those non-cash accounting items, segment profitability would have been broadly consistent with the second-quarter result.

#First disclosure of organic growth metrics

Kingsway reported Organic Segment Revenue Growth of 8% and Organic Segment Adjusted EBITDA Growth of 54% for the third quarter. The company said it intends to provide organic growth figures for its operating companies each quarter going forward.

These measures are intended to show the performance of continuing operations separately from the effects of acquisitions and dispositions. Kingsway said organic revenue and adjusted EBITDA should be considered alongside, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP revenue and net income.

#Portfolio EBITDA and investor call

Portfolio LTM EBITDA for Kingsway’s operating companies was reported at $23 million to $24 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2026.

Management was scheduled to host a conference call and live question-and-answer session at 5 p.m. Eastern Time on November 5, 2026, to discuss the results. Investors could also submit questions by email.
