United Insurance Holdings Corp. (UIHC) reported significant financial losses for Q3 2022, with a net loss of $70.9 million, or $1.65 per share, compared to a $14.3 million loss in Q3 2021. Gross premiums written declined by 20.9%, heavily impacted by Hurricane Ian and the company's withdrawal from personal lines in several states. The combined ratio soared to 165.4%, indicating underwriting challenges. Book value per share plummeted 74.9% to $1.86. CEO Dan Peed emphasized a strategic focus on commercial lines amidst these losses.

- Net loss increased significantly to $70.9 million, compared to $14.3 million in Q3 2021.
- Gross premiums written fell by 20.9%, attributed to underwriting actions and market conditions.

Reinsurance Costs as a Percentage of Gross Earned Premium

While ceded premiums earned decreased quarter-over-quarter, the Company's ceding ratio on a consolidated basis increased, driven by the Company's decrease in gross premiums earned quarter-over-quarter.
Ceded premiums earned related to the Company's quota share reinsurance contracts decreased quarter-over-quarter driven by a decrease in the cession rate for one of the Company's external quota shares and changes to the geographic footprint and exposure covered by the external quota share contracts.
Ceded premiums earned related to the Company's catastrophe program also decreased, driven by the need for less coverage for the 2022-2023 treaty year for the reduction in the geographic footprint and exposure, as well as the change from a cascading aggregate structure to an occurrence-based structure for the Company's 2022-2023 program.
Reinsurance costs as a percentage of gross earned premium in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 for the Company's personal lines and commercial lines operating segments were as follows:

| (1) | Underlying book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and is reconciled above to book value per common share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release can be found in the "Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" section below. |
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company believes that investors' understanding of
Net loss excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net of tax (core loss) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by adding amortization, net of tax, to net income and subtracting realized gains (losses) on the Company's investment portfolio, net of tax, and unrealized gains (losses) on the Company's equity securities, net of tax, from net loss. Amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired, including goodwill, through mergers and, therefore, the expense does not arise through normal operations. Investment portfolio gains (losses) and unrealized equity security gains (losses) vary independent of the Company's operations. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss. The core loss measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Core return on equity is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the core loss for the period by the average stockholders’ equity for the trailing twelve months (or one quarter of such average, in the case of quarterly periods). Core loss is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that is calculated by excluding from net loss the effect of non-cash amortization of intangible assets, unrealized gains or losses on the Company's equity security investments and net realized gains or losses on the Company's investment portfolio. In the opinion of the Company’s management, core loss, core loss per share and core return on equity are meaningful indicators to investors of the Company's underwriting and operating results, since the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Internally, the Company’s management uses core loss, core loss per share and core return on equity to evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial targets on a consolidated basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on equity. The core return on equity measure should not be considered a substitute for return on equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year development from the combined ratio. The Company believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to highlight the trends in the Company's business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause the Company's loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their frequency of occurrence and severity and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from net loss and LAE. The Company uses underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze the Company's loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on the Company's reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on the Company's loss trends in a given period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss (underlying book value per common share), is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing common stockholders' equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. The Company uses the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss, in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic and financial factors that are not influenced by management. Book value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss, should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share and does not reflect the recorded net worth of the Company's business.
