This presentation has been prepared by Bowhead for informational purposes only and not for any other purpose. Nothing contained in this presentation is, or should be construed as, a recommendation, promise or representation by the presenter or Bowhead or any officer, director, employee, agent or advisor of Bowhead. This presentation does not purport to be all inclusive or to contain all of the information you may desire. Information provided in this presentation speaks only as of the date hereof. Bowhead assumes no obligation to update any information or statement after the date of this presentation as a result of new information, subsequent events, or any other circumstances. We request that you keep any information at this meeting confidential and that you do not disclose any of the information to any other parties without the Company's prior express written permission. This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “seeks”, “intends”, “plans”, “estimates”, “anticipates” or other comparable terms. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not related to present facts or current conditions or that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this presentation and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects and growth strategies and the industries in which we operate, and including, without limitation, statements relating to our future performance. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements included in this presentation as a result of various factors, including among others, the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this presentation concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations, market position and market opportunity, is based on our management’s estimates and research, as well as industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Industry publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. We believe that the information from these third-party publications, research, surveys and studies included in this presentation is reliable. Management’s estimates are derived from publicly available information, their knowledge of our industry and their assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which we believe to be reasonable. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations which are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. This presentation contains references to our trademarks and service marks and to those belonging to other entities. Solely for convenience, trademarks and trade names referred to in this presentation may appear without the ® or TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the rights of the applicable licensor to these trademarks and trade names. We do not intend our use or display of other companies’ trade names, trademarks or service marks to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, any other companies. “Non-admitted” or excess and surplus (“E&S”) lines refers to policies generally not subject to regulations governing premium rates or policy language. We also consider business written on (i) a facultative reinsurance basis or (ii) an admitted basis through either the New York Free Trade Zone or similar commercial deregulation exemptions available in certain jurisdictions, to be E&S business since such business is generally free of rate and form restrictions. This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Under U.S. securities laws, these measures are called “non-GAAP financial measures.” We use these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures give our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our underlying business performance. You should not rely on these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered supplemental in nature and is not meant to be an alternative to our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. For a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, see the Appendix of this presentation.

The loss ratio is based on loss picks informed by industry data rather than only using internal data from our limited operating history. Movement in the loss ratio from last year reflects mix changes in our portfolio, where Casualty, which has higher current accident year industry loss ratios, comprised a larger proportion of the Company’s gross earned premiums. There was also 0.6% of prior accident year loss ratio due to expected loss ratios applied to audit premiums earned in the period but associated with prior accident years in our LTM loss ratio.This development was not based on actual losses settling for more than reserved, and did not represent an increase in estimated reserves on unresolved claims. The expense ratio reflects continued scaling of our business and prudent management of operating expenses; 4 2025 adjusted ROE is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the average of mezzanine and stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025. Adjusted ROE was impacted by the $122.3 million increase in average mezzanine equity and stockholders’ equity, mainly due to the $131.0 million of net proceeds received from the IPO along with the increased in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), partially offset by the 58.1% increase in net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted ROE and adjusted net income are Non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” on slide 19 for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure; 5 Leadership team includes Stephen Sills, David Newman, Derek Broaddus, Daniel Gamble, Joe Calcagno and Brandon Mezick.
