FEDNAT HOLDING COMPANY REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER OF 2019 RESULTS

Sunrise, Florida, May 7, 2019 - FedNat Holding Company (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FNHC) today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Q1 2019 highlights (as measured against the same three-month period last year, except where noted):

Net loss of $3.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share.
Adjusted operating loss of $2.4 million or $0.19 per diluted share.
$18.7 million of claims, net of recoveries, from a single hailstorm.
Gross written premiums of $132.2 million.
8.1% increase in net premiums earned to $88.8 million, including 13.4% increase in Homeowners.
Quarter-end Florida homeowners in-force policies of approximately 244,000.
56.1% increase in non-Florida homeowners in-force policies to approximately 52,000.
Book value per share increased 0.8% to $16.98 as compared to $16.84 as of December 31, 2018, despite $1.09 per share loss on a single hail storm.

"FedNat continued to make excellent progress on its strategies to drive profitable growth in the first quarter.  While that progress was masked by the impact of a large hail storm that impacted Brevard County in Florida, I’m nonetheless very pleased with the continued fundamental improvement in our core homeowners business performance,” said Michael H. Braun, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  “Highlights in the quarter included more than five percentage points of improvement in our net expense ratio, strong growth in our non-Florida homeowners book, and of course, the February announcement of our pending acquisition of the Maison businesses, which will further strengthen and diversify our Company when we complete the transaction, which is anticipated to be during the second quarter.  We are also greatly encouraged by Florida’s recent passage of legislation to regulate Assignment of Benefit rules, a move that is a huge win for all policyholders within the state of Florida, regardless of who they insure their homes with, and will significantly enhance our industry’s ability to serve Florida homeowners affordably and more effectively.  Collectively these developments, along with our ongoing focus on performance improvement, position FedNat for attractive opportunity to drive profitable growth for our shareholders in the quarters to come.”

Consolidated

Net loss of $3.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2019, as compared to net income of $7.5 million or $0.58 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2018.
Adjusted operating loss of $2.4 million or $0.19 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2019, as compared to adjusted operating income of $8.5 million or $0.65 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2018.
Comparing to December 31, 2018, book value per share increased $0.14 to $16.98 at March 31, 2019. The increase was predominantly driven by unrealized gains on our fixed-income portfolio of $0.54 per share, partially offset by net loss of $0.30 per share, as noted above, and a dividend of $0.08 per share.

Revenues

Total revenue increased $8.1 million or 8.7%, to $101.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $93.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher Homeowners net premiums earned as a result of decreased reinsurance spend and higher recognized gains on our investments, partially offset by planned reductions in net premiums earned from Automobile and commercial general liability for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.
Due to rigorous focus on profitability and managing our underwriting exposure, gross premiums written decreased $2.2 million, or 1.6%, to $132.2 million in the quarter, compared with $134.4 million for the same three-month period last year. The decrease in premiums written is the result of declining premiums in the non-core businesses we are exiting, Automobile and commercial general liability, as well as a decline in homeowners Florida, partially offset by homeowners non-Florida business, which continues to show exceptional growth year over year, especially in the state of Texas. Overall, Homeowners gross premiums written grew 5.3%.
Gross premiums earned decreased $8.0 million, or 5.5%, to $138.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $146.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The results are a reflection of our decision to exit the Automobile and commercial general liability lines and were partially offset by a 1.0% increase in earned premiums in Homeowners.

1



Ceded premiums decreased $14.7 million, or 22.9%, to $49.6 million in the quarter, compared to $64.3 million the same three-month period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower excess of loss reinsurance spend in Homeowners and lower ceded premiums in Automobile as a result of decreases in premiums earned during the period.
Other income decreased $1.5 million, or 27.1%, to $4.0 million in the quarter, compared with $5.5 million in the same three-month period last year, due to lower commission and brokerage revenue. Commission income decreased as a result of lower Automobile fee income driven by the reduction in premiums earned and, to a lesser extent, lower fee income from other areas of the business. The brokerage revenue decrease is the result of lower excess of loss reinsurance spend from the reinsurance program that became effective July 1, 2018.

Expenses

Losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) increased $20.7 million, or 45.1%, to $66.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $46.1 million for the same three-month period last year. The net loss ratio increased 19.2 percentage points, to 75.3% in the current quarter, as compared to 56.1% in the first quarter of 2018.  The higher ratio was the result of $19.0 million of weather-related net losses in the quarter, which included $18.7 million of net losses from the March 2019 hail storm.
The net expense ratio decreased 5.3 percentage points to 38.9% in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to 44.2% in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in the ratio is primarily related to the lower reinsurance spend during the quarter driving higher net premiums earned. Commissions and other underwriting expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 6.6%, to $28.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease is made up of lower policy fee expense due to lower gross premiums earned in Automobile and lower salaries and wages from the impact of our headcount reduction initiatives.
Interest expense increased $4.0 million to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $1.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in interest expense is the result of $3.6 million prepayment fees, including the write-off of remaining debt issuance costs, related to our previously announced repayment of $45 million of Senior Notes issued in December 2017 during the quarter.

Line of Business Results

Homeowners net loss for the current quarter was $1.4 million, which included $18.7 million of pre-tax net losses related to a single hail storm, as mentioned above. Excluding this storm, Homeowners net income would have been $12.5 million with a combined ratio of 87.5%. Additionally, net premiums earned increased $10.4 million or 13.4% in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2018.
Automobile's net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $0.7 million, which includes $0.6 million of pre-tax adverse development, as compared to breakeven results in the first quarter of 2018.
Other’s net loss was $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to net income of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2018. Other's adjusted operating income (loss) was $(0.3) million and $1.4 million for these same period, with the decline primarily due to adverse prior year development in our commercial general liability book of business and higher interest expense, partially offset by $0.8 million higher pre-tax net investment income this quarter as compared to prior year quarter.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Non United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures do not replace the most directly comparable GAAP measures and we have included a detailed reconciliation thereof on page 11.

We exclude the after-tax (using our statutory income tax rate) effects of the following items from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at adjusted operating income (loss):

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses), including, but not limited to, gains (losses) associated with investments and early extinguishment of debt;
Acquisition, integration and other costs and the amortization of specifically identifiable intangibles (other than value of business acquired);
Impairment of intangibles;
Income (loss) from initial adoption of new regulations and accounting guidance; and
Income (loss) from discontinued operations.

We also exclude the pre-tax effect of the first bullet above from GAAP revenues to arrive at adjusted operating revenues.

Management believes these non-GAAP performance measures allow for a better understanding of the underlying trend in our business, as the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of our operating fundamentals or performance.

Similarly, we exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") from book value per share to arrive at book value per share, excluding AOCI.

Certain statements made by FedNat Holding Company or on its behalf may contain “forward-looking statements” within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those discussed herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “budget,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “guidance,” “indicate,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possibly,” “potential,” “predict,” “probably,” “pro-forma,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” or “will” or the negative or other variations thereof, and similar words or phrases or comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties related to estimates, assumptions and projections generally; the nature of the Company’s business and its ability to integrate the operations to be acquired; the adequacy of its reserves for losses and loss adjustment expense; claims experience; weather conditions (including the severity and frequency of storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and hail) and other catastrophic losses; reinsurance costs and the ability of reinsurers to indemnify the Company; raising additional capital and our compliance with minimum capital and surplus requirements; potential assessments that support property and casualty insurance pools and associations; the effectiveness of internal financial controls; the effectiveness of our underwriting, pricing and related loss limitation methods; changes in loss trends, including as a result of insureds’ assignment of benefits; court decisions and trends in litigation; our potential failure to pay claims accurately; ability to obtain regulatory approval applications for requested rate increases, or to underwrite in additional jurisdictions, and the timing thereof; the impact that the results of our subsidiaries’ operations may have on our results of operations; inflation and other changes in economic conditions (including changes in interest rates and financial markets); pricing competition and other initiatives by competitors; legislative and regulatory developments; the outcome of litigation pending against the Company, and any settlement thereof; dependence on investment income and the composition of the Company’s investment portfolio; insurance agents; ratings by industry services; the reliability and security of our information technology systems; reliance on key personnel; acts of war and terrorist activities; and other matters described from time to time by the Company in releases and publications, and in periodic reports and other documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
