Insights

The reported financial results from Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. indicate a robust performance for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2023. The significant increase in net income of 53.7% for the quarter and 93.6% for the year, alongside a substantial growth in gross written premiums and net investment income, are indicative of a strong operational year. The combined ratio, an essential measure of profitability in the insurance industry, improved from 78.5% to 75.4% year-over-year, suggesting enhanced efficiency in claims and expense management.

From an investor's perspective, the operating return on equity (ROE) of 31.8% is particularly noteworthy, as it significantly exceeds the 2022 figure of 25.0%. This metric is crucial as it reflects the profitability generated from the shareholders' equity. The improved ROE, coupled with a higher book value per share, which increased from $32.28 to $46.88, may be viewed positively by the market, potentially influencing the company's stock valuation.

Kinsale Capital's performance is a testament to the current favorable conditions in the Excess & Surplus (E&S) insurance market. The company's ability to achieve a combined ratio well below 100% indicates underwriting profitability, as it suggests that they are earning more in premiums than they are paying out in claims and expenses. The loss ratio improvement from 56.3% to 54.6% and the expense ratio reduction from 22.2% to 20.8% for the full year are also significant, as they reflect the company's disciplined risk assessment and cost management strategies.

Moreover, the increase in gross written premiums by 42.3% for the year suggests that the company is not only retaining existing customers but also successfully expanding its customer base. This growth, combined with favorable loss experience and lower net commissions, has contributed to the overall increase in underwriting income.

Analyzing the investment component of Kinsale Capital's earnings, the net investment income growth of 99.6% year-over-year is remarkable. This surge can be attributed to higher interest rates and the strategic growth of the company's investment portfolio. The conservative investment approach, focusing on high-quality securities with an average credit quality of 'AA-', aligns with the company's risk-averse profile. Additionally, the reported gross investment return increased from 3.0% to 4.0%, which suggests effective investment management during a period of fluctuating interest rates.

The investment portfolio's weighted average duration has decreased from 3.5 years to 2.8 years, indicating a potential strategic shift to shorter-term investments, which may offer more flexibility in a changing rate environment. Such a move could be seen as a proactive approach to mitigate interest rate risk.

Investment Results

Net investment income was $30.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of 71.2%. Net investment income was $102.3 million for the full year of 2023 compared to $51.3 million for the full year of 2022, and increase of 99.6%. These increases were driven by growth in the Company's investment portfolio generated primarily from the investment of strong operating cash flows since December 31, 2022 and higher interest rates relative to the prior year periods. Net operating cash flows were $859.8 million for the full year of 2023 compared to $557.8 million for the full year of 2022, an increase of 54.1%. The Company’s investment portfolio, excluding cash and cash equivalents, had a gross investment return(8) of 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022. Funds are generally invested conservatively in high quality securities, including government agency, asset- and mortgage-backed securities, and municipal and corporate bonds with an average credit quality of "AA-." The weighted average duration of the fixed-maturity investment portfolio, including cash equivalents, was 2.8 years and 3.5 years at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash and invested assets totaled $3.1 billion at December 31, 2023 compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2022.

(8)

Gross investment return is investment income from fixed-maturity and equity securities (and short-term investments, if any), before any deductions for fees and expenses, expressed as a percentage of average beginning and ending book values of those investments during the period.

Other

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 19.8%. The effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the tax benefits from stock-based compensation and tax-exempt investment income.

Stockholders' equity was $1.1 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $745.4 million at December 31, 2022. Book value per share was $46.88 at December 31, 2023 compared to $32.28 at December 31, 2022. Operating return on equity was 31.8% for the full year of 2023, an increase from 25.0% for the full year of 2022. This increase was primarily due to continued profitable growth from favorable E&S market conditions and rate increases.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company reclassified policy fees to fee income and modified the definition of the loss and expense ratios to include fee income in the denominator of each ratio. Historically, these fees were presented as a reduction to underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses. The Company has reclassified prior periods' results to conform to the current period's presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net Operating Earnings

Net operating earnings is defined as net income excluding the effects of the change in the fair value of equity securities, after taxes, net realized investment gains and losses, after taxes, and the change in allowance for credit losses on investments, after taxes. Management believes the exclusion of these items provides a useful comparison of the Company's underlying business performance from period to period. Net operating earnings and percentages or calculations using net operating earnings (e.g., diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on equity) are non-GAAP financial measures. Net operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define net operating earnings differently.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, net income and diluted earnings per share reconcile to net operating earnings and diluted operating earnings per share as follows:

Underwriting Income

Underwriting income is defined as net income excluding net investment income, the change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized investment gains and losses, the change in allowance for credit losses on investments, interest expense, other expenses, other income and income tax expense. The Company uses underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of its operations because the Company believes it gives management and users of the Company's financial information useful insight into the Company's results of operations and underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, net income reconciles to underwriting income as follows:
