Financial Overview

2019 and early 2020 highlights include:

Overall:

  • Delivered total annual return of 8.2%, as measured by growth in book value per share plus dividends paid.
  • In 2019, we purchased and retired 1,472,730 shares of our Common Stock for $9.1 million.
  • Increased our dividends for the third consecutive year to $0.155 per share, a 14.8% increase over the prior year.

Tiptree Insurance:

  • Gross written premiums for 2019 were $1,015 million, up 17.0% from the prior year. Net written premiums were $537.2 million, up 15.1%, driven by growth in all product lines.
  • Our insurance investments earned a total return of 5.4%, up from 0.3% from the prior year period, driven primarily by improved mark-to-market on equities and fixed income investments.
  • In January 2020, we acquired Smart AutoCare, a growing vehicle warranty administrator in the United States. The transaction valued the business at $160 million of enterprise value, inclusive of $50 million of earn out consideration, representing a multiple of 8.3x modified cash EBITDA (excluding anticipated revenue and expense synergies).
  • As part of our strategy to grow our insurance operations in Europe, in July 2019, we acquired a majority interest in Defend, an automotive finance and insurance administrator operating in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the UK.

Tiptree Capital:

  • Operating EBITDA grew year over year, driven primarily by the inclusion of a full year of our maritime transportation operations and improvements in specialty finance.
  • Increased invested capital, primarily due to additional investments in vessels.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, revenues were $208.5 million, which increased $56.1 million, or 36.8%, over the prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenues were $772.7 million, which increased $146.9 million, or 23.5%, over the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by growth in earned premiums, lower unrealized losses on Invesque, improvements in specialty finance results, the inclusion of revenue from shipping operations and the gain on sale of our CLO management business. Earned premiums were $499.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, up $71.3 million, or 16.7%, driven by growth in net written premiums. The combination of unearned premiums and deferred revenues on the balance sheet grew by $174.4 million, or 25.8%, from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 as a result of increased written premiums, primarily in credit protection and warranty programs.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, net income available to Common Stockholders was $4.2 million, an increase of $4.1 million from the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased investment gains in the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net income available to Common Stockholders was $18.4 million, a decrease of $5.5 million. The decrease was primarily driven by income from discontinued operations of $43.8 million in 2018, which included the gain on sale of Care. This non-recurring gain was offset by improved insurance operating performance, the realized gain on the sale of our CLO management business, and increased realized and unrealized gains on investments in 2019.

Income before taxes (from continuing and discontinued operations)

The table below highlights key drivers impacting our consolidated results on a pre-tax basis. Many of our investments are carried at fair value and marked to market through unrealized gains and losses. As a result, we expect our earnings relating to these investments to be relatively volatile between periods in contrast to our fixed income securities, which are marked to market through AOCI in stockholders’ equity. On February 1, 2018, we sold our senior living operations to Invesque in exchange for a net of 16.6 million shares of Invesque common stock which resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $56.9 million in 2018.

Non-GAAP

Management uses Operating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and book value per share as measurements of operating performance which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of Operating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance, and to analyze a company’s ability to service its debt and to facilitate comparison among companies. Management uses Operating EBITDA as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital amongst our businesses and investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in determining incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers. Operating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. Management believes the use of book value per share provides supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze company growth on a relative per share basis.

Operating EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $21.0 million compared to $16.6 million for the 2018 period, an increase of $4.4 million, or 26.5%. Operating EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $63.6 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 15.8%. The increase for both periods were driven primarily by improved performance in Tiptree Capital.

Total stockholders’ equity was $411.5 million as of December 31, 2019 compared to $399.3 million as of December 31, 2018, primarily driven by net income, offset by share repurchases and dividends paid. In 2019, Tiptree returned $14.4 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid. Book value per share for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $11.52, an increase from book value per share of $10.79 as of December 31, 2018. The key drivers of the period-over-period impact were earnings per share and the purchase of 1.5 million shares at an average 40% discount to book value. Those increases were offset by dividends paid of $0.155 per share and officer compensation share issuances.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted EBITDA and Operating EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income of the Company adjusted to add (i) corporate interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) adjust for the effect of purchase accounting, (iii) adjust for non-cash fair value adjustments, and (iv) any significant non-recurring expenses. Operating EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA plus stock based compensation expense, less realized and unrealized gains and losses and less third party non-controlling interests. Operating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income.

(1)

Corporate debt interest expense includes interest expense from secured corporate credit agreements, junior subordinated notes and preferred trust securities. Interest expense associated with asset-specific debt in Tiptree Insurance and Tiptree Capital is not added-back for Adjusted EBITDA and Operating EBITDA.

 

(2)

Represents total depreciation and amortization expense less purchase accounting amortization related adjustments at our insurance companies. Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated. Thus, the purchase accounting effect related to our insurance companies increased EBITDA above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated.

 

(3)

For our insurance operations, depreciation and amortization on senior living real estate that is within net investment income is added back to Adjusted EBITDA. For Care (Discontinued Operations), the reduction in EBITDA is related to accumulated depreciation and amortization, and certain operating expenses, which were previously included in Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods.

 

(4)

Acquisition, start-up and disposition costs, including debt extinguishment, legal, taxes, banker fees and other costs. In 2018, includes payments pursuant to a separation agreement, dated November 10, 2015.

 

(5)

Adjustment excludes Mortgage realized and unrealized gains and losses - Performing and NPLs, as those are recurring in nature and align with those business models.

 

(6)

Removes the Operating EBITDA associated with third party non-controlling interests. Does not remove the non-controlling interests related to employee based shares.
