Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Russell, "The financial results for the past quarter reflect a continuation of the positive trends we began to first witness last quarter. Premium revenues once again grew through a combination of our recent rate increases impacting renewing policies and strong new business production coming from all our distribution channels. Claims cost severities have now shown two consecutive quarters of moderation from their previously elevated levels and investment income yields in our portfolio continue to climb as we invest through a period of rising interest rates. Cost containment efforts and our diversification into the independent agency channel have also stabilized our expense ratio. Collectively, we believe these favorable movements are providing optimism and encouragement for the Acceptance team as we move forward."
About First Acceptance Corporation
We own and operate "Acceptance Insurance," an insurance agency headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee that sells insurance and related products underwritten and serviced by our own insurance companies (known as the First Acceptance Insurance Group) and through third-party carriers for which we receive a commission. We operate under an "Agency Model" in 15 states where we sell both our own underwritten insurance policies and those issued by third-party insurers for which we earn commissions.
Acceptance Insurance primarily sells non-standard personal automobile insurance through our own insurance companies and third-party carriers. Non-standard personal automobile insurance is sought after by individuals because of their inability or unwillingness to obtain standard insurance coverage due to various factors including their payment preference, failure to have maintained continuous insurance coverage, or their driving record. We also offer a variety of other commissionable third-party products such as roadside assistance and in most states, we also sell an insurance product for renters that we underwrite. We believe that our agency-focused operations provide us with a variety of insurance alternatives for our core customers as well as the ability to provide products that suit other potential customers.
Acceptance Insurance currently leases and operates 289 retail locations staffed with employee-agents. In addition to our retail locations, we are able to complete sales over the phone through employee-agents in our call center or through our consumer-based website and mobile platform. We also sell our products through selected retail locations operated by independent agents.
