Insights

Universal Insurance Holdings reported concerning Q3 2024 results with a $16.2 million net loss ($0.57 per share), significantly worse than the $5.9 million loss in Q3 2023. Despite revenue growth of 7.6% to $387.6 million, profitability deteriorated due to higher weather-related losses, particularly from Hurricane Helene. The combined ratio worsened to 116.9%, indicating significant underwriting losses.

Key positives include:

  • Direct premiums written up 8.0% to $574.4 million
  • Book value per share increased 37.0% to $14.15
  • Net investment income grew to $15.4 million

However, the higher loss ratio of 91.7% and increased expense ratio of 25.2% signal operational challenges. The company's geographic expansion into Wisconsin marks its 19th state, potentially helping diversify risk but requiring careful monitoring of growth execution.

  • Loss per common share of $0.57; adjusted* loss per common share of $0.73
  • Direct premiums written of $574.4 million, up 8.0% from the prior year quarter
  • Book value per share of $14.15, up 37.0% year-over-year; adjusted book value per share of $15.76, up 12.6% year-over-year
  • Total capital returned to shareholders of $9.1 million, including $4.4 million of share repurchases and a $0.16 per share regular dividend

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Universal Insurance Holdings (NYSE: UVE) (“Universal” or the “Company”) reported third quarter 2024 results.

*Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the attached tables.

“Our hearts and thoughts go out to those impacted by recent disasters, including Hurricanes Debbie and Helene in the third quarter and Hurricane Milton in the fourth quarter,” said Stephen J. Donaghy, Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve been through many hurricanes in our nearly three-decade history, arming us with the requisite experience to quickly and efficiently get policyholders back on their feet. Our substantial reinsurance protection and the strong reinsurance relationships that we’ve built over many years provide us with the financial resilience to weather both high frequency and high severity storm seasons. As we’ve previously disclosed, our consolidated retention drops for subsequent events and we expect a smaller financial impact from weather in the fourth quarter, inclusive of Hurricane Milton. Non-catastrophe underwriting trends continue to improve and we’re highly encouraged as we look ahead.

On a separate note, we opened for business in Wisconsin at the beginning of the month, our 19th state. We’re excited to offer our insurance products there, as we continue to expand to new markets, diversifying our book of business and growing our addressable market.”

1 Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the attached tables. Adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share and core revenue exclude net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes the items above and interest and amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted book value per share excludes accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Adjusted ROCE is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted net income (loss) available to common stockholders by average adjusted book value per share, with the denominator further excluding current period after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments.

Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss

Net loss available to common stockholders was $16.2 million, compared to a net loss of $5.9 million in the prior year quarter, and adjusted net loss available to common stockholders was $20.8 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of $4.6 million in the prior year quarter. The higher adjusted net loss available to common stockholders mostly stems from lower underwriting income, partly offset by higher net investment income and commission revenue.

Revenues

Revenue was $387.6 million, up 7.6% from the prior year quarter and core revenue was $381.4 million, up 5.4% from the prior year quarter. The increase in core revenue primarily stems from higher net premiums earned, net investment income and commission revenue.

Direct premiums written were $574.4 million, up 8.0% from the prior year quarter. The increase stems from 2.1% growth in Florida and 32.9% growth in other states. Overall growth mostly reflects higher policies in force, higher rates and inflation adjustments.

Direct premiums earned were $507.7 million, up 7.0% from the prior year quarter. The increase stems from direct premiums written growth over the past twelve months.

The ceded premium ratio was 31.9%, up from 30.2% in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily reflects replacement of the Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders (RAP) layer, which was provided by the state of Florida, with private market coverage.

Net premiums earned were $345.7 million, up 4.4% from the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to higher direct premiums earned, partly offset by a higher ceded premium ratio, as described above.

Net investment income was $15.4 million, up from $12.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily stems from higher fixed income reinvestment yields and higher invested assets.

Commissions, policy fees and other revenue were $20.3 million, up 12.7% from the prior year quarter. The increase primarily reflects replacement of the RAP layer with private market coverage and replacement of the catastrophe bond with traditional reinsurance coverage in the 2024-2025 program.

Margins

The operating loss margin was 4.3%, compared to an operating loss margin of 1.7% in the prior year quarter. The adjusted operating loss margin was 5.9%, compared to an adjusted operating loss margin of 1.3% in the prior year quarter. The higher adjusted operating loss margin primarily reflects a higher net combined ratio, partly offset by higher net investment income and commission revenue.

The net loss ratio was 91.7%, up 4.7 points compared to the prior year quarter. The increase primarily reflects higher weather losses, mostly from Hurricane Helene, partly offset by more favorable prior year reserve development.

The net expense ratio was 25.2%, up 1.5 points from 23.7% in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher policy acquisition costs associated with growth outside Florida and higher other operating costs.

The net combined ratio was 116.9%, up 6.2 points compared to the prior year quarter. The increase reflects higher net loss and expense ratios, as described above.

Capital Deployment

During the third quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 226 thousand shares at an aggregate cost of $4.4 million. The Company’s current share repurchase authorization program has approximately $10.3 million remaining.

On July 11, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 16 cents per share of common stock, payable on August 9, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 2, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including core revenue, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and diluted adjusted earnings (loss) per common share, which exclude the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) margin exclude the impact of net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments and interest and amortization of debt issuance costs. Adjusted common stockholders’ equity and adjusted book value per share exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), net of taxes. Adjusted return on common equity excludes after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments from the numerator and AOCI, net of taxes, and current period after-tax net realized gains (losses) on investments and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments from the denominator. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). UVE management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful, as they allow investors to evaluate underlying revenue and profitability trends and enhance comparability across periods. When considered together with the GAAP financial measures, management believes these metrics provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. UVE management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze UVE’s business trends and to understand UVE’s operational performance. UVE’s management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in long-term planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information regarding our key performance indicators, please refer to the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Key Performance Indicators” in our forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Such statements may include commentary on plans, products and lines of business, marketing arrangements, reinsurance programs and other business developments and assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, including those risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and supplemented in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Future results could differ materially from those described, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For further information regarding risk factors that could affect the Company’s operations and future results, refer to the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the most recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
