Spontak Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Phone (717) 426-1931 Fax (717) 426-7009 For Immediate Release MARIETTA, Pennsylvania, July 18, 2003 - Donegal Group Inc. (Nasdaq: DGICA and DGICB) today reported record operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company's excellent underwriting results continued through the second quarter of this year with the Company posting record quarterly net income of $5,268,953, or $.56 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $3,178,834, or $.35 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2002. The Company's combined ratio continued to improve from the strong results posted for the first quarter ending up the second quarter at an exceptional 92.3%, compared to 99.3% for the second quarter of 2002. The Company's loss ratio was an outstanding 61.2% for the second quarter 2003 compared to 69.7% for the second quarter of 2002, with both commercial and personal lines showing improvement. The Company's expense ratio increased slightly, due to higher underwriting based incentives, resulting in a ratio of 30.6% for the second quarter of 2003 compared to 29.4% for the second quarter of 2002. The Company's workers' compensation policy dividend ratio increased slightly from 0.2% in the second quarter of 2002 to 0.5% in the second quarter of 2003. The strong operational results helped the Company increase its book value per common share to $15.49 as of June 30, 2003. "We are delighted that our expense control and underwriting efforts have resulted in improvements in the results of both our personal and commercial lines", stated Donald H. Nikolaus, President and Chief Executive Officer of Donegal Group, "and even more pleased those improvements have resulted in our annualized return on equity improving to 13 percent through the first half of this year." Net income of $9,113,385, or $.97 per share on a diluted basis, for the first six month of 2003 represented the highest first half earnings in the Company's history, compared to $5,359,550, or $.59 per share on a diluted basis for the first six months of 2002. The Company's combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was 94.7%, compared to 100.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, with all major lines of business showing improvement over the prior year. Revenues for the second quarter of 2003 were $52,826,818, an increase of 4.1% over a year earlier, with premiums earned for the second quarter of $48,433,689, a 5.0% increase over the second quarter of 2002. The lower interest rate environment impacted investment income which was down 10.6% to $3,315,710 compared to $3,710,282 for the second quarter of 2002 despite an increase in average invested assets. Yesterday the Company's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of 11 cents per share of Class A Common Stock and 10 cents per share of Class B Common Stock payable August 15, 2003 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2003.
