During its 2014 Contract Year, the FHCF collected approximately $1.22 billion in reimbursement premium from participating insurers (net of expenses, mitigation and debt service). Its total preliminary cash balance as of December 31, 2014 was $10.94 billion.
For the 2015 Contract year, the FHCF is projected to collect $1.22 billion in net reimbursement premium, with a total projected cash balance as of December 31, 2015 of $12.18 billion.
Currently, the FHCF has $2 billion in proceeds from the Series 2013A pre-event bond issue.
Should an assessment be required, the FHCF reminded that the maximum assessment percentage is 6 percent for any one Contract Year’s losses and 10 percent on all Contract Years’ losses combined. No such post-event debt is outstanding at this time.
Today’s report includes 50-year, 100-year and 250-year probable maximum losses. It also provides analysis of all reasonable financing strategies for each such probable maximum loss, including the amount and term of debt instruments; specification of the percentage assessments that would be needed to support each of the financing strategies; and calculations of the aggregate assessment burden on Florida property and casualty policyholders for each of the probable maximum losses.
