Disclaimer This presentation contains forward-looking statements about Palomar Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). These statements involve known and unknown risks that relate to the Company’s future events or future financial performance and the actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this presentation. This presentation also includes financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see the appendix to this present. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘expects’’, ‘‘plans’’, ‘‘anticipates’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘intends’’, ‘‘target’’, ‘‘projects’’, ‘‘contemplates’’, ‘‘believes’’, ‘‘estimates’’, ‘‘predicts’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘potential’’ or ‘‘continue’’ or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to our future financial performance, our business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, future results of operations; financial position; the impact of the ongoing and global COVID-19 pandemic; general economic, political and other risks, including currency and stock market fluctuations and uncertain economic environment; the volatility of the trading price of our common stock; and our expectations about market trends. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in its forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements the Company makes. While the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company has no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Additional risks and uncertainties relating to the Company and its business can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of Palomar Holdings, Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

For the third quarter: Seasonal peak in GWP, GEP and NEP, driven by Crop earned premium Higher loss and acquisition expense dollars NEP Ratio decreases in Q3, tied to Crop earnings pattern Modeling Implication

Modeling and Seasonality Near-term ratios reflect business mix and gray integration; full-year guidance remains on track Acquisition expense dollars trend higher with earned premium growth 12.9% in Q2 2026 vs. 12.6% in Q2 2025 and 14.0% in Q1 2026. YoY increase driven by mix, including growth in surety and credit, and higher retentions resulting in lower ceding commissions. FY26: slight improvement vs. 2025's 12.1%; higher in first half, lower in second half with Crop earned premium. Adjusted UW expense dollars will continue to increase with growth in investments across the organization 9.1% in Q2 2026 vs. 8.7% in Q2 2025 and 8.5% in Q1 2026; includes a full quarter of Gray. FY26: slight improvement vs. 2025's 8.0% as we invest in talent, technology and systems under Palomar 2X. Higher in first half, lower in second half with the seasonal peak in Crop earned premium. While not shown, loss ratio trending as expected despite seasonality 34.5% in Q2 2026 vs. 25.7% in Q2 2025 and 33.3% in Q1 2026, on higher attritional losses from Crop and Casualty growth. Includes $14.1M attritional and $0.2 million of catastrophe loss favorable prior year development FY26: mid to upper 30s, with the high point in Q3 on Crop timing. General Modeling Guidance
