Navigators Reports First Quarter Earnings
New York May 3, 2012 The Navigators Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NAVG) reported net income of $7.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.50 per share, for the comparable period in 2011. Operating earnings were $6.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2012 compared to a deficit of $6.7 million, or $0.43 per share, for the comparable period in 2011.
Gross written premiums and net written premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $343.1 million and $243.0 million, respectively, an increase of 15.8% and 25.9% from the comparable period in 2011.
The combined loss and expense ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 99.8%, compared to 117.1% for the comparable period in 2011.
Stan Galanski, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, We are pleased to have generated profitable underwriting results in a quarter that was impacted by one of the largest ocean marine losses in history, which is now projected to be over $1 billion to the industry. Despite the magnitude of the loss, Navigators net impact was well within our corporate risk appetite. Absent Costa Concordia, our combined ratio would have been 96.4%. This loss highlights the magnitude of economic value at risk in the operation of a modern cruise ship, encompassing loss of life, personal injury, damage to the vessel and the cost to remove the wreck. More broadly, we continue to achieve meaningful premium growth from the investments made in expanding our underwriting team and products over the past three years and experienced positive renewal price change across most of our specialty niches. Loss emergence was favorable during the quarter and operating expenses were in line with our expectations.
Stockholders equity was $818.2 million, or $58.44 per share, as of March 31, 2012 compared to $803.4 million, or $57.57 per share, as of December 31, 2011.
Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $11.3 million, which decreased 35.2% from the comparable period in 2011. Investment income was reduced by $4.5 million as a result of the settlement of our pending dispute with Equitas over foregone interest on amounts that were due on certain reinsurance contracts. The annualized pre-tax investment yield, excluding net realized gains and losses and net other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in earnings, was 2.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 3.3% for the comparable period in 2011. The effective tax rate on net investment income was 25.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 28.5% for the comparable period in 2011.
