TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCI Group, Inc.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities) for the second quarter of 2023 was $14.2 million, or $1.22 diluted earnings per share compared with adjusted net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.71 loss per share, in the second quarter of 2022. This press release includes an explanation of adjusted net income as well as a reconciliation to net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (known as “GAAP”).

Management Commentary
“HCI Group delivered another strong quarter with several positive trends continuing in the quarter. Loss trends improved, average premium per policy was higher and the interest rate environment benefited our investment income. We think these positive trends can continue,” said HCI Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paresh Patel. “The actions taken by the Florida Legislature and the Governor in 2022 are resulting in greater stability in the Florida homeowners’ market. HCI Group remains committed to Florida and we look forward to expanding in the state in the future.”

Second Quarter 2023 Commentary
Consolidated gross premiums earned increased to $182.0 million from $181.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher average premium per policy offset by attrition in the number of policies in force.

Premiums ceded for reinsurance increased to $66.4 million from $56.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. Ceded premiums represented 36.5% of gross premiums earned in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 39.2% in the prior quarter and 31.0% in the second quarter of 2022.

Net investment income increased to $8.8 million from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 reflecting higher yields on fixed maturity securities, cash, and cash equivalents.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased to $61.9 million from $86.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. Losses and loss adjustment expenses as a percentage of gross premiums earned declined to 34.0% from 47.9% in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was driven by lower claim frequency, lower litigation frequency in Florida, and higher average premium per policy.

Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses decreased to $22.6 million from $26.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 and declined from 14.8% of gross premiums earned to 12.4%, reflecting lower commissions and the transition of business from United Property & Casualty Insurance Company.

General and administrative personnel expenses decreased to $14.3 million from $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Year-to-Date 2023 Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the company reported net income of $32.7 million, or $2.81 diluted earnings per share, compared with net loss of $5.8 million, or $0.92 loss per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income is a Non-GAAP financial measure that removes from net income of HCI's portion of the effect of unrealized gains or losses on equity securities required to be included in results of operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 321. HCI Group believes net income without the effect of volatility in equity prices more accurately depicts operating results. This financial measurement is not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. A reconciliation of GAAP Net income to Non-GAAP Adjusted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share to Non-GAAP Adjusted diluted earnings per share is provided below.
