As the excess & surplus (E&S) lines market continues to grow - reaching an estimated $120 billion in written premium in the U.S. in 2024 - we’re proud to share that nearly $20 billion, or 1/6th of the entire market, was processed through our system. That’s not just volume. That’s impact.
Surplus lines compliance is often complex, fragmented, and high-stakes. Our goal has always been to make it easier - for brokers, for carriers, and for the regulators who rely on accurate, timely data to ensure a well-functioning marketplace.
This year’s annual excess & surplus lines tax cycle underscores both the momentum within the industry and the trust placed in our team to help manage it. From January 1 to March 31, 2025, our filings team completed:
59,984 individual filings — more than double the Q1 2024 total, a 104.61% increase
5,744 annual reports — up 23.31% from the prior year
5,924 zero reports — up 12.97%
10,394 total state reports — up 20.89%
These numbers represent more than just growth - they reflect the evolving needs of the dynamic E&S market and the responsibility we carry in helping support it.
We’re committed to delivering precision, speed, and thoughtful innovation in everything we do. The scale of our work is a reflection not only of our systems and team, but also of the strong partnerships we’ve built across the industry - with clients, collaborators, and regulators alike.
To everyone who played a role in this year’s success: thank you. Together, we’re shaping the future of surplus lines compliance - and we’re just getting started.
