(All comparisons vs. the second quarter of 2023).

  • Net income per diluted share of $1.25, versus $1.30;
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share of $1.10, versus $1.17;
  • Gross premiums written of $207.9 million, an increase of 5%;

  • Record number of ending policies in-force of 128,522.

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Katherine Antonello commented: “Higher new and renewal premiums, strong and steady net investment income and continued net investment gains drove year-over-year increases in revenue for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2024. We also ended the period with yet another record number of policies in-force, which were up 3% year-over-year.

We recorded our current accident year loss and LAE ratio on voluntary business at 64.0%, slightly above the 63.3% we maintained throughout 2023 and consistent with that of 2022. Our second quarter full reserve study led to the recognition of $9.3 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development from our voluntary risk business, versus $20.0 million of net favorable development a year ago.

Our commission expense ratio was 14.3%, versus 13.3% a year ago. The increase was largely attributable to our strong new business writings, which are typically subject to a higher initial commission rate. Our ongoing efforts to reduce our underwriting and general and administrative expense ratio have been successful, and we ended the quarter with a ratio of 22.0%, down significantly from 26.0% a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of the Cerity integration plan we executed in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Our resulting combined ratio excluding LPT was 95.4% for the second quarter (100.2% on a current accident year basis), versus 91.5% (102.7% on a current accident year basis), a year ago.

Lastly, we returned $27.0 million to our stockholders through a combination of share repurchases and regular quarterly dividends. This action reflects our strong balance sheet, abundant underwriting capital and our confidence in the Company’s future operations.”

Summary of Second Quarter 2024 Results

(All comparisons vs. the second quarter of 2023, unless otherwise noted).

Gross premiums written were $207.9 million, an increase of 5%. The increase was primarily due to higher new and renewal business writings, partially offset by lower final audit premiums. Net premiums earned were $187.8 million, an increase of 6%.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $108.8 million, an increase of 20%. The increase was primarily due to higher earned premium, a slightly higher current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio and lower net favorable prior year loss reserve development. The Company recognized $9.1 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development during the quarter versus $19.7 million a year ago. The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was 57.9% (59.1% excluding LPT), versus 51.1% (52.2% excluding LPT).

Commission expenses were $26.8 million, an increase of 14%. The Company’s commission expense ratio was 14.3%, versus 13.3% a year ago. The increase primarily related to: (i) an increase in new business writings, which are typically subject to a higher initial commission rate; and (ii) a reduction in commission expense for uncollected premium recorded in the second quarter of 2023.

Underwriting and general and administrative expenses were $41.4 million, a decrease of 10%. The Company’s underwriting and general and administrative expense ratio was 22.0%, versus 26.0% a year ago. The decrease primarily related to decreases in professional fees, marketing and advertising expenses, facilities expenses and information technology expenses.

Net investment income was $26.9 million, an increase of 0.4%. The increase was primarily due to higher yields on our fixed maturity securities, largely offset by a lower invested balance of fixed maturity securities, as measured by amortized cost, resulting primarily from the unwinding of our former Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) leveraged investment strategy, which was in effect from the first quarter of 2022 to the fourth quarter of 2023.

Net realized and unrealized gains on investments reflected on the income statement were $2.2 million, versus $11.3 million.

Interest and financing expenses were less than $0.1 million, versus $1.9 million. The decrease resulted from the unwinding of our former FHLB leveraged investment strategy.

Income tax expense was $8.3 million (20.8% effective rate), versus $8.9 million (20.3% effective rate). The effective rates during each of the periods included income tax benefits and exclusions associated with tax-advantaged investment income, LPT adjustments, and deferred gain amortization.

The Company’s book value per share including the deferred gain of $44.91 increased 14.0% year-over-year and 2.7% during the second quarter of 2024, computed after considering dividends declared. During the second quarter this measure was unfavorably impacted by $4.9 million of after-tax unrealized losses arising from fixed maturity securities (which are reflected on the balance sheet), partially offset by $4.5 million of net after tax unrealized gains arising from equity securities and other investments (which are reflected on the income statement). The Company’s adjusted book value per share of $48.89 increased by 10.2% year-over-year and 2.8% during the second quarter of 2024, computed after considering dividends declared. During the second quarter this measure was favorably impacted by the net after tax unrealized gains arising from equity securities and other investments previously described.

Share Repurchases and Third Quarter 2024 Dividend Declaration

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 461,789 shares of its common stock at an average price of $41.53 per share. During the period from July 1, 2024 through July 30, 2024, the Company repurchased a further 60,312 shares of its common stock at an average price of $42.56 per share. The Company currently has a remaining share repurchase authorization of $44.4 million.

On July 31, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.30. The dividend is payable on August 28, 2024 to stockholders of record as of August 14, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Within this earnings release we present the following measures, each of which are "non-GAAP financial measures." A reconciliation of these measures to the Company's most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included herein. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.

The LPT Agreement is a non-recurring transaction that does not result in any meaningful ongoing cash benefits to the Company. Management believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of the LPT Agreement (amortization of deferred reinsurance gain, adjustments to LPT Agreement ceded reserves and adjustments to contingent commission receivable) is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing underwriting performance.

Deferred reinsurance gain (Deferred Gain) reflects the unamortized gain from the LPT Agreement. This gain has been deferred and is being amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries, except for the contingent profit commission, which is being amortized through June 30, 2024. Amortization is reflected in losses and LAE incurred.

Adjusted net income (see Page 3 for calculations) is net income excluding the effects of the LPT Agreement, and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (net of tax), and any miscellaneous non-recurring transactions (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measures is helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in identifying trends in the Company's operating performance because such items have limited significance to its ongoing operations or can be impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and may not represent operating trends.

Stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain (see Page 8 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful measure of the Company's total underwriting capital.

Adjusted stockholders' equity (see Page 8 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain, less accumulated other comprehensive income (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties since it serves as the denominator to the Company's adjusted return on stockholders' equity metric.

Return on stockholders' equity and Adjusted return on stockholders' equity (see Page 4 for calculations). Management believes that these profitability measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Book value per share, Book value per share including the Deferred Gain, and Adjusted book value per share (see Page 8 for calculations). Management believes that these valuation measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Net income excluding LPT (see Page 3 for calculations). Management believes that these performance and underwriting measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.
