Slide Insurance Expands into Texas and Rhode Island

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“Slide” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SLDE) today announced it is open for new business in Texas and Rhode Island. The new market entries follow expanded product offerings in Florida, South Carolina and California, and reflect Slide’s strategy of disciplined growth and geographic diversification into markets where its underwriting and catastrophe risk management capabilities provide Slide with a competitive advantage. 

Slide is entering Texas with an HO3 homeowners insurance product and Rhode Island with a DP3 dwelling insurance product for eligible rental and seasonal properties. The offerings extend the Company’s reach into two additional states, providing new coverage options for property owners and expanding the solutions available to independent agents.

“Our entries into Texas and Rhode Island are fully aligned with our long-term diversified growth strategy to expand into attractive new markets,” said Bruce Lucas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Slide. “Texas represents one of the largest homeowners insurance markets in the United States, while Rhode Island establishes a foothold for further expansion across the Northeast. Our underwriting expertise, technology and financial strength position us to grow with discipline while bringing additional choice and capacity to the communities we serve.”

In Texas, Slide’s homeowners offering provides an additional option for eligible homeowners in a market where catastrophe exposure and coverage costs remain important considerations. In Rhode Island, the Company’s dwelling product addresses the needs of landlords and seasonal property owners, adding choice in a market facing increased underwriting selectivity, particularly in coastal communities.

The expansion builds on Slide’s experience underwriting catastrophe-exposed residential properties and its focus on matching products to the needs of individual markets. By broadening both its geographic footprint and product portfolio, the Company continues to diversify its business and strengthen its foundation for long-term growth.

Participating independent agents can access the new offerings through Violet, Slide’s proprietary quoting and policy management platform.
