Underwriting Results

Gross written premiums increased 34.3% to $177.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $132.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, attributable to growth in both Trean’s existing program partner business and the addition of new program partners over the past year. The growth came predominantly from the Company’s other liability, accident & health, commercial auto and homeowners lines of business as the Company continues to balance its portfolio to minimize risk and emphasize those lines of business that offer profitable growth.

Increase in gross unearned premiums was $28.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $23.0 million in the prior-year period. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had net unearned premiums reflected on its balance sheet of $84.6 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 15.3%, compared to June 30, 2021 and an increase of $34.6 million, or 69.2%, compared to December 31, 2020.   This continued growth in net unearned premiums represents significant deferred premium revenue and, assuming stable loss ratios, future potential profit to be recognized over subsequent quarters as these net premiums are earned.

Net earned premiums of $52.0 million grew 86.5% compared to the prior year’s third quarter, driven by the increase in gross written and gross earned premiums, partially offset by an increase in ceded earned premiums compared to the prior-year period.

Net income was $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $69.4 million for the same prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2021 was $0.13. The third quarter of 2021 included intangible asset amortization related to acquisitions, noncash stock compensation and the effect of unrealized funds held investment losses on the fair value of embedded derivatives, while the third quarter of 2020 also included $58.2 million of net non-recurring gains related to the Company’s acquisition of Compstar Holding Company, LLC and costs associated with its initial public offering. Adjusted net income(1), which excludes these items and their related tax impact, was $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to adjusted net income of $10.5 million for the same prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2021 was $0.15.

Underwriting income was $6.0 million, and the combined ratio was 88.3% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to underwriting income of $5.3 million and a combined ratio of 81.0% for the same prior-year period. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $32.1 million, which resulted in a 61.8% loss ratio, compared to 55.9% in the same prior-year period. Prior-year losses continued to develop favorably during the third quarter. The first half of 2021 was marked by a number of large and unusual losses resulting in a higher 2021 accident year loss ratio than experienced in 2020. The Company experienced no such losses in the third quarter of 2021. The Company still anticipates that the 2021 accident year loss ratio will be higher compared to previous years, and thus does not expect the 2021 calendar year loss ratio to decrease through the end of the year.    

General and administrative expenses were $13.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $7.0 million for the prior-year period. The increase was driven by an increase in direct commissions and insurance-related expenses resulting primarily from the growth in gross earned premiums, offset by increased ceding commissions resulting from higher ceded earned premiums. In addition, the Company incurred increased salaries and benefits resulting primarily from an expanded workforce.   The Company’s expense ratio was 26.5% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 25.1% for the prior-year period.

Investment Results

Net investment income was $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $2.4 million in the prior-year period. Cash and invested assets consist primarily of fixed maturities, equity securities and cash and cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2021 was comprised of $425.6 million of fixed maturity securities that were classified as available-for-sale. Also included in investments at September 30, 2021 was $1.0 million of equity securities and $134.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s fixed maturities portfolio had an average rating of “AA” at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Other

Other revenue was $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $5.4 million for the same prior-year period, largely driven by a reduction in brokerage revenue due to a $2.2 million increase in estimated premiums and the timing of effective dates for brokered reinsurance contracts recognized in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, brokerage revenue was also reduced in 2021 due to the Company’s higher retention of brokered reinsurance contracts compared to the same prior-year period.

Stockholders’ Equity and Returns

Total stockholders’ equity was $422.3 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $410.1 million at December 31, 2020. Return on equity was 6.2% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 102.7% for the same prior-year period, and adjusted return on equity(1) was 7.3% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 15.5% for the same prior-year period. Return on tangible equity was 12.7% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 171.4% for the same prior-year period and adjusted return on tangible equity was 15.0% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 25.9% for the same prior-year period.

Full Year 2021 Outlook

The Company is raising its outlook for gross written premiums for the full year 2021 to be between $610 million and $620 million. This represents year-over-year growth of 26% on the lower end and 28% on the upper end.

In addition, the Company is providing the following outlook for the full year 2021:

  • Net earned premium to be between $190 million and $195 million
  • Total revenue to be between $207 million and $212 million
  • Expense ratio to be between 29% and 31% of net earned premium
  • The Company does not expect the 2021 calendar year loss ratio to decrease through the end of the year.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Underwriting income

The Company defines underwriting income as income before taxes excluding net investment income, investment revaluation gains, net realized capital gains or losses, IPO-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, interest expense, other revenue and other income and expenses. Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of the Company’s underwriting operations and allows management to evaluate the Company’s underwriting performance without regard to investment income, IPO-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, interest expense, other revenue and other income and expenses. The Company uses this metric because the Company believes it gives management and other users of the Company’s financial information useful insight into the Company’s underwriting business performance by adjusting for these expenses and sources of income. 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.

Adjusted net income

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of certain items, including the consummation of the reorganization transactions in connection with the IPO, noncash intangible asset amortization and stock compensation, other expenses and gains or losses that the Company believes do not reflect its core operating performance, which items may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, affecting comparability the Company’s results across periods. The Company calculates the tax impact only on adjustments that would be included in calculating the Company’s income tax expense using the effective tax rate at the end of each period. The Company uses adjusted net income as an internal performance measure in the management of its operations because the Company believes it gives its management and other users of its financial information useful insight into the Company’s results of operations and underlying business performance by eliminating the effects of these items. Adjusted net income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.
