Management Commentary

Kevin G. Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Donegal Group Inc., noted, “Throughout the second quarter of 2018, Donegal Group continued to focus on improving underwriting performance while also completing a significant corporate initiative.  On June 12, 2018, we announced that we had entered into an agreement with Northwest Bancshares, Inc. for the sale of Donegal Financial Services Corporation and Union Community Bank.  We currently expect to close on this transaction in the first quarter of 2019.  We plan to utilize the proceeds from this sale to support our strategic goals as we focus on our core property and casualty insurance business.”

Mr. Burke continued, “We are confident that our entire team is fully engaged in addressing the challenges we encountered in the first quarter of 2018, which included adverse reserve development primarily related to higher-than-expected loss severity in our personal and commercial automobile lines of business.  Our automobile combined ratios for the second quarter of 2018 reflected our expectations for a continuation of elevated loss severity trends in these business lines, but we did not incur any additional material reserve development for losses incurred in prior years.  We have implemented, and will continue to implement, automobile rate increases in all of the states in which we are actively writing business.  In addition, we have implemented predictive analytical scoring for all commercial automobile policy renewals in order to further refine our underwriting and pricing, and we are in the process of extensively re-underwriting all commercial automobile policy renewals in several underperforming states.  To this point, market conditions have allowed us to achieve steady net written premium gains without a meaningful decline in policy retention rates throughout the majority of our regional markets.  We expect the higher premium rates and enhanced implementation of technological advancements to yield incremental profit improvement over time as our net premiums earned reflect more appropriate pricing for automobile risks throughout all of our marketing regions.”

Jeffrey D. Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Weather-related losses totaled approximately $17.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, representing an improvement over the $20.1 million of weather-related losses for the second quarter of 2017 but reflecting an increase compared to the previous five-year average for second quarter weather-related losses of $12.3 million. The higher-than-average losses resulted from a series of wind and hail events in the Company’s operating regions during the second quarter of 2018.  None of the losses from wind and hail events exceeded the Company’s $5.0 million third-party catastrophe reinsurance retention.”  

Mr. Miller continued, “Our workers’ compensation line of business continued to perform well during the second quarter of 2018, as indicated by the statutory combined ratio1 of 92.9% in this line of business.  We achieved that favorable ratio despite an increase in loss severity, primarily due to several unusually severe reported claims we incurred during the period.  We were also pleased that our commercial multi-peril line of business returned to profitability, as the 91.2% second quarter 2018 statutory combined ratio demonstrated.  The favorable results in commercial multi-peril and workers’ compensation helped us to achieve overall underwriting profitability in our commercial segment for the quarter.”

Management Conclusion and Outlook

Mr. Burke concluded, “Our core values include fostering a conservative underwriting culture and pricing discipline, continuing our investment in technology and maintaining a conservative investment approach to deliver value to all of our stockholders.  We believe that our management team has made considerable progress on key initiatives to improve our underwriting performance, and we expect more favorable results for the remainder of 2018.”

Net Premiums Written

The 2.7% increase in the Company’s net premiums written for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, as shown in the table above, represents the combination of 5.8% growth in commercial lines net premiums written and 0.3% growth in personal lines net premiums written. The $5.2 million growth in net premiums written for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 included:

  • $4.9 million in commercial lines premiums that the Company attributes to a combination of new policy growth and a continuation of modest renewal premium increases.  In addition, the increase in other commercial lines net premiums written reflects a modification to third-party reinsurance coverage related to umbrella liability policies effective March 1, 2018.
  • $272,000 in personal lines premiums that the Company attributes to premium rate increases the Company has implemented over the past four quarters, partially offset by net attrition as a result of underwriting measures the Company’s insurance subsidiaries implemented to slow new policy growth and to increase pricing on renewal policies.

Underwriting Performance

The Company evaluates the performance of its commercial lines and personal lines segments primarily based upon the underwriting results of its insurance subsidiaries as determined under statutory accounting practices.  The following table presents comparative details with respect to the Company’s GAAP and statutory combined ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

Loss Ratio

For the second quarters of both 2018 and 2017, the Company’s loss ratio was 73.1%.  Weather-related losses contributed 9.5 percentage points to the Company’s loss ratio for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 11.5 percentage points of the Company’s loss ratio for the second quarter of 2017.  Workers compensation losses in excess of $50,000 were $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Large fire losses, which the Company defines as individual fire losses in excess of $50,000, were $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, or 3.6 percentage points of the Company’s loss ratio.  That amount was modestly lower than the large fire losses of $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2017, or 4.3 percentage points of the Company’s loss ratio.  The Company noted a modest decrease in the impact of both homeowners and commercial fire losses in the second quarter of 2018.

Development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years had virtually no impact on the Company’s loss ratio for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 3.3 percentage points of the Company’s loss ratio for the second quarter of 2017.  During the first quarter of 2018, the Company received new information on previously-reported commercial automobile and personal automobile claims and determined that its actuarial assumptions did not fully anticipate recent changes in severity and reporting trends. The Company attributed these trends to increased litigation and delays in reporting information with respect to the severity of claims.  As a result, the Company’s actuaries increased their projections of the ultimate cost of prior-year commercial automobile and personal automobile losses and added $7.4 million to our reserves for personal automobile claims and $18.8 million to our reserves for commercial automobile claims.  As a result of the reserve strengthening actions in the first quarter of 2018, development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years added 7.1 percentage points to the Company’s loss ratio for the first half of 2018, compared to 2.4 percentage points to the Company's loss ratio for the first half of 2017.

The Company’s expense ratio was 31.8% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 32.6% for the second quarter of 2017.  The Company attributes the decrease to a reduction in underwriting-based incentive costs for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the prior-year quarter, partially offset by a $1.9 million restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2018 for employee termination costs associated with the consolidation of certain operations and closing of the branch office of The Peninsula Insurance Company.  The Company expects to achieve annualized expense savings of approximately $3.7 million as a result of implementing the Peninsula consolidation. While the Company expects net proceeds from the sale of Peninsula’s branch office real estate, the Company does not have definitive purchase arrangements and cannot estimate such proceeds at this time.

Investment Operations

Donegal Group’s investment strategy is to generate an appropriate amount of after-tax income on its invested assets while minimizing credit risk through investment in high-quality securities. As a result, the Company had invested 89.6% of its consolidated investment portfolio in diversified, highly rated and marketable fixed-maturity securities at June 30, 2018.

Net investment income of $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 increased 12.3% compared to $5.6 million in net investment income for the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net investment income reflected primarily an increase in average invested assets relative to the prior-year second quarter.

Net realized investment gains were $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2017.

The Company owns 48.2% of the outstanding stock of Donegal Financial Services Corporation (“DFSC”). DFSC owns all of the outstanding stock of Union Community Bank (“UCB”). The Company accounts for its investment in DFSC using the equity method of accounting. Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (“DMIC”) owns the remaining 51.8% of the outstanding stock of DFSC.  On June 12, 2018, the Company and DMIC announced that the Company and DMIC had entered into an agreement to sell DFSC and UCB to Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (“Northwest”) for approximately $85.0 million in a combination of cash and Northwest common stock.  Immediately prior to the closing of the merger, DFSC will pay a dividend of approximately $30.0 million to the Company and DMIC.  Thus, the total proceeds to the Company and DMIC will be approximately $115.0 million.  As the owner of 48.2% of DFSC’s common stock, the Company will receive a dividend payment from DFSC of approximately $14.5 million and consideration from Northwest that will range in value from $38.9 million to $43.0 million.  The Company anticipates that it will realize an after-tax gain, net of transaction-related expenses, within a range of $8.9 million and $12.5 million, or approximately $.32 to $.45 per Class A common share, upon closing of the transaction expected in the first quarter of 2019.

Definitions of Non-GAAP and Operating Measures

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the basis of GAAP. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries also prepare financial statements based on statutory accounting principles state insurance regulators prescribe or permit (“SAP”). In addition to using GAAP-based performance measurements, the Company also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes provide value in managing its business and for comparison to the financial results of its peers. These non-GAAP measures are net premiums written, operating income or loss and statutory combined ratio.

Net premiums written and operating income or loss are non-GAAP financial measures investors in insurance companies commonly use. The Company defines net premiums written as the amount of full-term premiums the Company records for policies effective within a given period less premiums the Company cedes to reinsurers. The Company defines operating income or loss as net income or loss excluding after-tax net realized investment gains or losses and after-tax restructuring charges. Because the Company’s calculation of operating income or loss may differ from similar measures other companies use, investors should exercise caution when comparing the Company’s measure of operating income or loss to the measure other companies use.

The statutory combined ratio is a non-GAAP standard measurement of underwriting profitability that is based upon amounts determined under SAP. The statutory combined ratio is the sum of:

  • the statutory loss ratio, which is the ratio of calendar-year incurred losses and loss expenses to premiums earned;
  • the statutory expense ratio, which is the ratio of expenses incurred for net commissions, premium taxes and underwriting expenses to premiums written; and
  • the statutory dividend ratio, which is the ratio of dividends to holders of workers’ compensation policies to premiums earned.

The statutory combined ratio does not reflect investment income, federal income taxes or other non-operating income or expense. A statutory combined ratio of less than 100% generally indicates underwriting profitability.
