Global Indemnity Group, LLC Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

 

   

Growth in Gross Written Premium - An increase of 27.3% in gross written premiums in its Continuing Lines in the 1st quarter of 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021.

 

   

Strong Underwriting Results - The consolidated combined ratio was 95.0% for the 1st quarter of 2022 (Loss Ratio 56.9% and Expense Ratio 38.1%) as compared to 101.2% (Loss Ratio 63.1% and Expense Ratio 38.1%) for the first quarter of 2021.

 

   

Lower Catastrophes – Catastrophe losses of $4.3 million for the 1st quarter of 2022 compared to $16.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2021.

 

   

Adjusted operating income of $5.4 million compared to adjusted operating income of $2.3 million for the corresponding period in 2021.

 

   

Early January 2022, sold substantially all of the company’s $76 million common equity portfolio resulting in a gain of $10.9 million. The majority of this gain was recognized in 2021 due to mark-to-market accounting rules.

 

   

Early 2nd quarter of 2022, Global Indemnity further substantially reduced the duration of its fixed income portfolio to 1.8 years compared to duration at May 31, 2021 of 4.4 years, and duration at December 31, 2021 of 3 years.

 

   

Early 2nd quarter of 2022, approximately all $360 million of the company’s fixed income securities with maturities of 5 years and greater that had an average yield of 2.3% were sold. Approximately $195 million of the proceeds have been reinvested in corporate and securitized debt with an average duration of 1.3 years yielding 3.2%. Approximately $165 million of the remaining proceeds are temporarily invested in 2 year U.S. Treasuries yielding 2.5% - these funds will be redeployed to corporate and securitized investments. In reducing duration of its fixed income portfolio, GBLI realized losses of $25.4 million in the 1st quarter of 2022.

 

   

Primarily as a result of substantially shortening the duration of the company’s fixed income securities in its investment portfolio, the company generated a net loss to shareholders of $14.9 million, or $1.03 per share, for the 1st quarter of 2022 compared to net income available to shareholders of $5.4 million, or $0.37 per share, for the corresponding period in 2021. Book value decreased $36.9 million from $706.6 million at December 31, 2021 to $669.7 million at March 31, 2022. Book value per share decreased $2.66 from $48.44 at December 31, 2021 to $45.78 at March 31, 2022.

 

   

Also early in the 2nd quarter, the company prepaid its remaining $130 million of outstanding debt.

Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, (May 9, 2022) – Global Indemnity Group, LLC (NYSE:GBLI) (the “Company”) today reported a net loss to shareholders of $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income to shareholders of $5.4 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The company generated adjusted operating income of $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2022, which excludes realized losses and the results of Exited Lines, compared to adjusted operating income of $2.3 million for the corresponding period in 2021.

Commercial Specialty: Gross written premiums and net written premiums increased 16.7% and 19.6%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The growth in gross written premiums and net written premiums was primarily driven by organic growth of 26.9% in the Company’s Penn America binding business, increased pricing, and several new programs.


Reinsurance Operations: Gross written premiums and net written premiums both increased 88.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The growth in gross written premiums and net written premiums was primarily due to organic growth of existing casualty treaties.

Farm, Ranch & Stable: Gross written premiums and net written premiums both increased 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The growth in gross written premiums and net written premiums is primarily due to growth of the mortality business and increased pricing.

Exited Lines: Gross written premiums and net written premiums decreased 27.7% and 97.3%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in gross written premiums and net written premiums was primarily due to exiting lines of business unrelated to the company’s continuing businesses.

Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s Combined Ratio for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021    

For the continuing lines business, the combined ratio was 95.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, (Loss Ratio 58.5% and Expense Ratio 36.5%) as compared to 100.6% (Loss Ratio 63.8% and Expense Ratio 36.8%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The consolidated combined ratio was 95.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, (Loss Ratio 56.9% and Expense Ratio 38.1%) as compared to 101.2% (Loss Ratio 63.1% and Expense Ratio 38.1%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

   

For the continuing lines business, the accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 0.2 points to 58.1% in 2022 from 57.9% in 2021. The consolidated accident year casualty loss ratio increased by 0.6 points to 58.4% in 2022 from 57.8% in 2021 primarily due to a change in the mix of business.

 

   

For the continuing lines business, the accident year property loss ratio improved by 18.2 points to 59.5% in 2022 from 77.7% in 2021. The consolidated accident year property loss ratio improved by 11.9 points to 60.0% in 2022 from 71.9% in 2021. The improvement in the continuing lines and the consolidated accident year property loss ratio is primarily due to lower catastrophe claims frequency.

Note Regarding Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted operating income , 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 is not a substitute for net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should not place undue reliance on this measure.
