Business Highlights

 

   

Underwriting income was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2022 and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $14.6 million for the same period in 2022. (Please see tables which follow.) The Company’s Continuing Lines and Consolidated accident year combined ratios were 97.8% and 98.6%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 97.6% and 98.9%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

   

Commercial Specialty, excluding terminated business1 2, performed as follows:

 

   

Package Specialty E&S, the Company’s primary division within its Commercial Specialty segment, increased gross written premiums by 6.1% to $53.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $50.4 million for the same period in 2022 and increased by 12.4% to $173.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $154.3 million for the same period in 2022 driven by new agency appointments, strong rate increases as well as exposure growth in both property and general liability.

 

   

Targeted Specialty E&S decreased gross written premiums by 21.7% to $33.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $42.8 million for the same period in 2022 and decreased by 20.4% to $102.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $129.1 million for the same period in 2022. Targeted Specialty includes the Company’s InsurTech business and its class specific business.

 

   

Targeted Specialty InsurTech increased gross written premiums by 22.7% to $13.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $10.9 million for the same period in 2022 and increased by 16.8% to $35.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $30.6 million for the same period in 2022 primarily due to new agent appointments and focused marketing efforts.

 

   

Targeted Specialty Class Specific decreased gross written premiums by 36.9% to $20.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $31.9 million for the same period in 2022 and decreased by 31.9% to $67.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $98.5 million for the same period in 2022 primarily due to actions taken to improve underwriting results through increased rates, reduced exposures to catastrophe prone business and non-renewal of underperforming business.

 

   

Commercial Specialty incurred accident year gross loss ratios of 56.5% and 57.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which are 5.0 points lower and 0.6 points higher, respectively, than the same periods in 2022.

 

   

Net investment income increased to $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and increased to $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

   

The increase in net investment income was primarily due to the strategies employed by the Company in April 2022 to take advantage of rising interest rates, which resulted in a 74% increase in book yield over time on the fixed income portfolio to 4.0% at September 30, 2023 from 2.3% at March 31, 2022, while the average duration of these securities was shortened to 1.2 years at September 30, 2023 from 3.3 years at March 31, 2022.

 

   

Approximately $800 million of cash flow, or approximately 60%, of the Company’s fixed income portfolio, will be generated from maturities and investment income between September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2024, positioning the Company to continue to increase book yield by investing maturities in higher yielding bonds.

 

   

Book value per share increased $1.40 per share, or 3.1%, to $46.27 at September 30, 2023 from $44.87 at December 31, 2022.

Commercial Specialty: Gross written premiums and net written premiums decreased 9.4% and 9.7%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Gross written premiums and net written premiums decreased 8.6% and 8.2%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in gross written premiums and net written premiums was primarily driven by the non-renewal of a restaurant book of business as well as actions taken to improve underwriting results by nonrenewing underperforming business partially offset by increased pricing.

Package Specialty E&S, the Company’s primary division within its Commercial Specialty segment, increased gross written premiums excluding terminated business1 by 6.1% and 12.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022 driven by new agency appointments, strong rate increases as well as exposure growth in both property and general liability.

Targeted Specialty E&S, a division within the Company’s Commercial Specialty segment, decreased gross written premiums excluding terminated business1 by 21.7% and 20.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022. Targeted Specialty includes the Company’s InsurTech business and its class specific business.

 

   

Targeted Specialty InsurTech increased gross written premiums by 22.7% and 16.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to new agent appointments and focused marketing efforts.

 

   

Targeted Specialty Class Specific decreased gross written premiums excluding terminated business by 36.9% and 31.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to actions taken to improve underwriting results through increased rates, reduced exposures to catastrophe prone business and non-renewal of underperforming business.

Reinsurance Operations: Gross written premiums and net written premiums both decreased 72.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Gross written premiums and net written premiums both decreased 61.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The reduction in gross written premiums and net written premiums was primarily due to the non-renewal of a casualty treaty.

Exited Lines: Gross written premiums and net written premiums decreased 99.9% and 105.2%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Gross written premiums and net written premiums decreased 96.9% and 99.7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Combined Ratio for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

The consolidated combined ratio was 99.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, (Loss Ratio 58.3% and Expense Ratio 41.4%) as compared to 97.2% (Loss Ratio 57.6% and Expense Ratio 39.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The accident year combined ratio for Continuing Lines was 97.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, (Loss Ratio 59.3% and Expense Ratio 38.5%) as compared to 97.7% (Loss Ratio 59.6% and Expense Ratio 38.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The calendar year combined ratio for Continuing Lines was 109.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, (Loss Ratio 70.0% and Expense Ratio 39.2%) as compared to 95.7% (Loss Ratio 57.7% and Expense Ratio 38.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

   

The calendar year combined ratio for Continuing Lines for 2023 was impacted by loss reserve strengthening primarily driven by the restaurant book of business that was not renewed and other terminated business, as well as for accident year 2020. Reserve decreases in Exited Lines resulted from the commutation of a reinsurance treaty and favorable development in the Farm, Ranch & Stable business.

 

   

For the Continuing Lines business, the accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 3.7 points to 63.7% in 2023 from 60.0% in 2022. The consolidated accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 3.4 points to 62.9% in 2023 from 59.5% in 2022. The increase in the Continuing Lines and the Consolidated accident year casualty loss ratios is primarily due to higher claims severity.

 

   

For the Continuing Lines business, the accident year property loss ratio improved by 8.9 points to 49.4% in 2023 from 58.3% in 2022. The consolidated accident year property loss ratio improved by 11.5 points to 48.1% in 2023 from 59.6% in 2022. The improvement in the Continuing Lines and the Consolidated accident year property loss ratios is primarily due to lower non-catastrophe claims severity partially offset by higher catastrophe claims frequency.

The consolidated combined ratio was 99.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, (Loss Ratio 60.7% and Expense Ratio 38.5%) as compared to 97.0% (Loss Ratio 58.0% and Expense Ratio 39.0%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The accident year combined ratio for Continuing Lines was 97.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, (Loss Ratio 60.2% and Expense Ratio 37.4%) as compared to 96.3% (Loss Ratio 59.0% and Expense Ratio 37.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The calendar year combined ratio for Continuing Lines was 103.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, (Loss Ratio 65.5% and Expense Ratio 37.7%) as compared to 95.3% (Loss Ratio 58.0% and Expense Ratio 37.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

   

The calendar year combined ratio for Continuing Lines for 2023 was impacted by loss reserve strengthening primarily driven by the restaurant book of business that was not renewed and other terminated business, as well as for accident year 2020. Reserve decreases in Exited Lines resulted from the commutation of a reinsurance treaty and favorable development in the Farm, Ranch & Stable business.

 

   

For the Continuing Lines business, the accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 1.4 points to 60.9% in 2023 from 59.5% in 2022. The consolidated accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 1.7 point to 60.8% in 2023 from 59.1% in 2022. The increase in the Continuing Lines and the Consolidated accident year casualty loss ratios is primarily due to higher claims severity.

 

   

For the Continuing Lines business, the accident year property loss ratio increased by 0.8 points to 58.5% in 2023 from 57.7% in 2022. The consolidated accident year property loss ratio improved by 1.6 points to 60.4% in 2023 from 62.0% in 2022. The improvement in the Consolidated accident year property loss ratios is mainly due to lower non-catastrophe claims frequency partially offset by higher claims frequency.

Note Regarding Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)

Adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to net income (loss) excluding after-tax net realized investment gains (losses) and other unique charges not related to operations. Adjusted operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should not place undue reliance on this measure.


Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and ratios

The table below, which contains incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses for the Commercial Specialty segment within Continuing Lines, reconciles the non-GAAP measures or ratios, which excludes the impact of prior accident year adjustments and ceded losses and loss adjustment expenses, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures or ratios are useful to investors when evaluating the Company’s underwriting performance as trends within Commercial Specialty may be obscured by prior accident year adjustments and ceded losses and loss adjustment expenses. These non-GAAP measures or ratios should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.

Non-GAAP measure / ratio

(2)

Most directly comparable GAAP measure / ratio


The table below, which contains gross written premiums for the Commercial Specialty segment within Continuing Lines, reconciles the non-GAAP measures, which excludes the impact of terminated business, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors when evaluating the Company’s underwriting performance as trends within Commercial Specialty may be obscured by the terminated business. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of the Company.
