The report highlights a notable 16% increase in direct written premiums, reaching $2.4 billion, alongside a net combined ratio of 100%.

Similarly, the implementation of LeakBot and Flume™ sensors has led to a significant reduction in water damage claims. Overall, these initiatives have contributed to a more than 10% decrease in total claims, with home fire losses dropping by 37% and water damage claims by 24%. Such results not only demonstrate the effectiveness of PURE's programs but also enhance the overall protective measures available to members, reinforcing the insurer’s commitment to their safety and satisfaction.
As PURE expands its geographic footprint with the launch of operations in Ontario, Canada, it marks a significant step in its growth trajectory.
