EX-99.1 2 y68576exv99w1.txt EARNINGS RELEASE EXHIBIT 99.1 NEW YORK, NY, November 9, 2004 -- Alleghany Corporation (NYSE-Y) reported a net loss in the third quarter of 2004 of $47.0 million, or $6.12 per share (per share information throughout is presented on a diluted basis), compared with net earnings of $74.9 million, or $9.79 per share, in the third quarter of 2003, John J. Burns, Jr., President and chief executive officer of Alleghany, announced today. "We are pleased that our insurance subsidiaries remain profitable on a year-to-date basis, despite record-setting catastrophe loss activity in the 2004 third quarter, and that our common stockholders' equity per share has increased 5% since the end of 2003" said Mr. Burns. Net gains on investment transactions after tax (taxed at the federal income tax rate) were $4.3 million, or $0.57 per share, in the 2004 third quarter, compared with $50.6 million, or $6.62 per share, in the 2003 third quarter. Third quarter 2004 net catastrophe losses were $97.8 million, or $12.75 per share, compared with net catastrophe losses of $10.9 million, or $1.43 per share, in the 2003 third quarter. Third quarter 2004 net earnings excluding gains on investment transactions after taxes (taxed at the federal income tax rate) and net catastrophe losses were $46.5 million, or $6.06 per share, compared with $35.2 million, or $4.60 per share in the corresponding 2003 period.

- ---------- * Operating (loss) income represents net (loss) earnings per share on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis less the net gain or loss on investment transactions taxed at the federal income tax rate. ** Taxed at the federal income tax rate. AIHL recorded a net loss of $52.1 million on revenues of $216.4 million in the 2004 third quarter, compared with net earnings of $48.5 million on revenues of $221.5 million in the third quarter of 2003, and net earnings of $56.9 million on revenues of $664.7 million in the first nine months of 2004, compared with net earnings of $55.2 million on revenues of $298.5 million in the first nine months of 2003. AIHL's 2004 third quarter net losses include net investment income after taxes (taxed at the federal income tax rate) of $5.9 million and net gains on investment transactions after taxes (taxed at the federal income tax rate) of $4.3 million, compared with net investment income after taxes (taxed at the federal income tax rate) of $3.7 million and net gains on investment transactions after taxes (taxed at the federal income tax rate) of $30.1 million in the corresponding 2003 period.

- ---------- (1) Since July 1, 2003. (2) Includes the results of Platte River Insurance Company, which was acquired contemporaneously with CATA in January 2002 and operates in conjunction with CATA. (3) Although Darwin is an underwriting manager for Platte River and certain subsidiaries of CATA, Darwin is managed on an operating unit basis and therefore, the results of business generated by Darwin have been separated from CATA's results for purposes of this table. (4) Amounts do not give effect to an inter-company pooling agreement. (5) Represents net premiums earned less loss and loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses, all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and does not include interest, dividend and other income or net gains on investment transactions. Underwriting profit (loss) does not replace net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of profitability; rather, it provides a basis for management to evaluate the underwriting performance of its insurance operating units. (6) Loss and loss adjustment expenses divided by net premiums earned, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. (7) Underwriting expenses divided by net premiums earned, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. (8) The sum of the Loss Ratio and Expense Ratio, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, representing the percentage of each premium dollar an insurance company has to spend on losses (including loss adjustment expenses) and underwriting expenses. (9) Includes $320.8 million of unearned premiums which were acquired with RSUI in July 2003 and $169.9 million of premiums assumed on a net basis. RSUI recorded an underwriting loss of $87.9 million in the 2004 third quarter, primarily reflecting $146.7 million of pre-tax catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and $10.5 million of reinsurance reinstatement premiums, from Hurricanes Charley, Francis, Ivan and Jeanne. An underwriting profit of $28.7 million was earned for the comparable period in 2003 during which there were $16.6 million of pre-tax catastrophe losses. Despite the hurricane losses in the 2004 third quarter, RSUI reported an underwriting profit of $34.0 million for the first nine months of 2004, primarily reflecting strong property results in the first half of 2004. CATA's 2004 third quarter underwriting results primarily reflect $3.8 million of pre-tax catastrophe losses, higher underwriting expenses and continued unfavorable results in its surety lines of business, partially offset by better underwriting margins in its casualty lines of business on the current accident year. The increase in CATA's gross premiums written in the first nine months of 2004 compared with the corresponding 2003 period reflect the continued expansion of its business into the excess and surplus markets. Darwin's results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 continue to reflect organizational build-up expenses incurred to support premium levels, as well as increased competition across all of its lines of business. World Minerals recorded pre-tax earnings of $6.0 million on revenues of $72.9 million in the 2004 third quarter, compared with pre-tax earnings of $6.9 million on revenues of $67.4 million in the 2003 third quarter, and pre-tax earnings of $16.8 million on revenues of $211.2 million in the first nine months of 2004, compared with pre-tax earnings of $18.3 million on revenues of $198.6 million in the first nine months of 2003. The 2004 nine month results reflect lower margins due to competitive pricing pressures, increased energy, labor and benefit costs and expenses in connection with information technology initiatives, partially offset by an increase in net shipments and the continuing favorable impact of the strong euro versus the U.S. dollar. Corporate activities recorded a pre-tax loss of $4.0 million on revenues of $49.3 million in the third quarter of 2004, compared with pre-tax earnings of $25.9 million on revenues of $66.0 million in the corresponding period in 2003, and a pre-tax loss of $10.5 million on revenues of $140.8 million in the first nine months of 2004, compared with pre-tax earnings of $27.2 million on revenues of $140.8 million in the corresponding 2003 period. The 2004 third quarter net earnings include no net gains or (losses) on investment transactions, compared with net gains on investment transactions after taxes (taxed at the federal income tax rate) of $20.5 million in the corresponding 2003 period. 2004 nine month net earnings include net gains on investment transactions after taxes (taxed at the federal income tax rate) of $1.1 million, compared with $23.1 million in the first nine months of 2003. As of September 30, 2004, Alleghany beneficially owned 8.0 million shares, or approximately 2.0 percent, of the outstanding common stock of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation, which had an aggregate market value on that date of approximately $306.5 million, or $38.31 per share, compared with a market value on June 30, 2004 of $280.6 million, or $35.07 per share. The aggregate cost of such shares is approximately $96.6 million, or $12.07 per share. Alleghany has previously announced that it may purchase shares of its common stock in open market transactions from time to time. In the third quarter of 2004, Alleghany did not purchase any shares of its common stock. As of September 30, 2004, Alleghany had 7,675,313 shares of common stock outstanding (which includes the stock dividend declared in March 2004). Additional information regarding the 2004 third quarter results of Alleghany and its operating businesses is contained in Alleghany's Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2004. Comment on Regulation G This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included herein. Throughout the press release Alleghany presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful to the investing public and others who use such information in evaluating Alleghany's results. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net earnings (loss), Alleghany reports operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is net earnings (loss) excluding net gains on investment transactions after tax. Management presents operating income as a measure of its performance because the realization of gains on investment transactions is largely discretionary as to timing and can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends and comparability of reported periods. Alleghany also shows net earnings (loss) exclusive of both catastrophe losses and net gains on investment transactions after tax, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is intended to assist investors in analyzing the impact of such items. Catastrophe losses are significant to Alleghany's 2004 results and, similar to gains on investment transactions, can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends and comparability of reported periods. Alleghany also reports underwriting profit (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, in the tables relating to the comparative pre-tax contributions to AIHL's results made by its operating units RSUI, CATA and Darwin. Underwriting profit is net premiums earned less loss and loss adjustment expense and underwriting expense and does not include interest, dividend and other income or net gains on investment transactions. Management believes that underwriting profit provides a basis to evaluate the underwriting performance of its insurance operations. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. # # # ALLEGHANY CORPORATION COMBINING STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS (dollars in thousands) (unaudited)
