This year's dividend reflects strong partnerships, successful growth, and stability.
NEWS RELEASE
HONOLULU, September 11, 2024 – The Board of Directors of Hawaiʻi Employers’ Mutual Insurance Company, Inc. (HEMIC) is pleased to declare a $5 million dividend for qualifying policyholders, marking a return to the largest dividend amount issued in HEMIC’s history. With this declaration, HEMIC will have issued over $53 million in dividends to Hawaiʻi policyholders since 2007.
This year’s dividend reflects HEMIC’s steady and stable growth paired with strong policyholder and agent partnerships to ensure safer workplaces.
“As a result of steady, successful growth and a diligent focus on performance, we are pleased to be able to deliver our largest dividend amount during what is a critical time for many Hawaiʻi employers,” said HEMIC CEO, Martin Welch. “HEMIC’s dividend program is a vital demonstration of our commitment to our customers and exemplifies what can be achieved when we work together to ensure safety.”
As Hawaiʻi’s only local, mutual insurance company, owned and governed by its policyholders, HEMIC’s mission is to serve Hawaiʻi businesses and their workers with expertise, superior service, and aloha. To qualify for a dividend, HEMIC policyholders must be insured for more than one consecutive policy term and maintain a history of good performance.
“With disciplined underwriting and a conservative, diversified capital management strategy, we are able to balance growth and stability over the long-term, growing our surplus as a result,” said Jason Yoshimi, HEMIC President and CFO. “We are dedicated to serving our policyholders for the long-run, delivering on our financial promises for years to come.”
HEMIC is the largest writer of workers’ compensation in Hawaiʻi. While the law does not allow any insurance company to guarantee future dividends, HEMIC’s Board of Directors view the payout of dividends as an important goal for the company.
