Insights
The financial results reported by RLI Corp. for the second quarter of 2024 indicate strong performance improvements compared to the previous year. The net earnings rose to $82.0 million from $77.7 million and operating earnings increased significantly from $53.3 million to $79.3 million, showing a robust growth trajectory. The substantial rise in operating earnings suggests that the company's core operations are becoming more efficient and profitable.
Notably, the underwriting income and combined ratio improvements across different segments, particularly in the property sector, indicate that RLI's risk management and pricing strategies are effective. The property segment's combined ratio of 60.3% is particularly impressive, showing a substantial improvement from 74.6% in the same quarter last year. This suggests that RLI is managing its underwriting risk exceptionally well in this sector.
The 11% increase in gross premiums written and an 18% increase in net investment income reflect a healthy expansion and diversification of revenue streams. The book value per share also saw a notable increase of 14%, showing solid value creation for shareholders. For retail investors, this data indicates a positive financial health trend for RLI, potentially making it an attractive investment in both short and long terms.
From a market perspective, the consistent performance of RLI Corp. in improving their underwriting income and combined ratios across multiple segments is a strong indicator of their competitive edge in the property and casualty insurance market. The company's ability to find growth opportunities in the casualty and surety segments while maintaining disciplined underwriting in the property segment highlights a well-balanced approach to market expansion and risk management.
The favorable development in prior years' loss reserves contributing to the underwriting income underscores effective reserve management practices. The increase in net investment income by 18% indicates RLI's strategic investment decisions are yielding positive results even in a volatile interest rate environment. This comprehensive performance suggests market confidence in RLI's ongoing strategies and resilience, which can attract more investor interest.
RLI Corp.'s results showcase their strong underwriting proficiency and strategic management within the insurance industry. The combined ratio of 81.5% is well below the industry average, which typically hovers around 100%, indicating better operational efficiency and profitability. The property segment's combined ratio improvement from 74.6% to 60.3% is particularly noteworthy, demonstrating RLI's adeptness in managing claims and operational costs.
The recognition by Ward Benchmarking as a top-performing company for the 34th consecutive year reinforces RLI's longstanding reputation for excellence in the industry. This accolade, coupled with strong financial performance, suggests that RLI is not only maintaining but also building on its leadership position. This continued recognition can enhance RLI's brand value and attract more high-quality business, further driving future growth.

Non-GAAP and Performance Measures
Management has included certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures in presenting the company’s results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures further explain the company’s results of operations and allow for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the company’s business. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, our definitions of these items may not be comparable to the definitions used by other companies.
Operating earnings and operating earnings per share (EPS) consist of our GAAP net earnings adjusted by net realized gains/(losses), net unrealized gains/(losses) on equity securities and taxes related thereto. Net earnings and net earnings per share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to operating earnings and operating EPS. A reconciliation of the operating earnings and operating EPS to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the 2024 financial highlights below.
Underwriting income or profit represents the pretax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses from net premium earned, which are all GAAP financial measures. The combined ratio, which is derived from components of underwriting income, is a performance measure commonly used by property and casualty insurance companies and is calculated as the sum of loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses, divided by net premiums earned, which are all GAAP measures.
