Direct written premiums increased by 19.1% to $318.2 million, driven by both new business acquisition and rate increases.

Key growth metrics show robust expansion with exposure count increases of 10.7% in Private Passenger Automobile and 9.4% in Homeowners lines.

Direct written premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $155.9 million, or 20.9%, to $901.0 million from $745.1 million for the comparable 2023 period.

Net written premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $138.9 million, or 19.9%, to $837.8 million from $698.9 million for the comparable 2023 period.

The increases in direct written premiums and net written premiums are a result of new business production, and rate increases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company achieved exposure count growth across all lines of business, including 10.7%, 5.2% and 9.4% in Private Passenger Automobile, Commercial Automobile and Homeowners lines, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, average written premium per exposure increased 11.6%, 9.7% and 8.8% in Private Passenger Automobile, Commercial Automobile and Homeowners lines, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred increased by $23.0 million, or 14.4%, to $182.5 million from $159.5 million for the comparable 2023 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred increased by $53.4 million, or 11.4%, to $523.6 million from $470.2 million for the comparable 2023 period. The increase in losses is driven by our larger policy counts and current market conditions, specifically inflationary impacts on our Private Passenger Automobile book of business.

Loss, expense, and combined ratios calculated for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were 70.6%, 30.1%, and 100.7%, respectively, compared to 74.4%, 30.4%, and 104.8%, respectively, for the comparable 2023 period. The decrease in loss and expense ratios is due to is driven by the increase in earned premiums. The loss ratio is also favorably impacted by the moderation of loss severity in the Private Passenger Automobile line. Loss, expense, and combined ratios calculated for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 70.6%, 30.2%, and 100.8%, respectively, compared to 77.3%, 30.9%, and 108.2%, respectively, for the comparable 2023 period. The decrease in current year loss ratio is also impacted by favorable development of $10.1 million related to the Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriting Association. The prior year loss ratio was impacted by a severe weather event, totaling $32.1 million of losses.

Total prior year favorable development included in the pre-tax results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $8.6 million compared to $13.5 million for the comparable 2023 period.

Net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $0.6 million, or 1.3%, to $40.9 million from $41.5 million for the comparable 2023 period. The decrease is due to the earned interest from our higher yield bonds and variable rate secured and senior bank loans. Net effective annualized yield on the investment portfolio was 3.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to 4.0% for comparable 2023 period. Net effective annualized yield on the investment portfolio was 3.9% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Non-GAAP Measures

Management has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in presenting the Company’s results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to 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.

Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating income per diluted share consist of our GAAP net income adjusted by the net realized gains on investments, change in net unrealized gains on equity securities, credit loss benefit (expense) and taxes related thereto. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $10.7 million for the change in unrealized gains on equity securities was recognized within income before income taxes, compared to a decrease of $9.2 million recognized in the comparable 2023 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $14.9 million for the change in unrealized gains on equity securities was recognized in income before income taxes, compared to a decrease of $2.1 million recognized in the comparable 2023 period. Net income and earnings per diluted share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating income per diluted share, respectively. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to these non-GAAP measures is included in the financial highlights below.

  • Our possible need for and availability of additional financing, and our dependence on strategic relationships, among others; and
  • Other risks and factors identified from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, such as those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.
