Management Commentary

Overview

Kevin G. Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Donegal Group Inc., stated, “We delivered strong top-line growth this quarter and continued to benefit from favorable reserve development from prior accident years related primarily to our automobile lines of business in both commercial and personal lines. While weather-related losses were slightly below our five-year average, our underwriting results for the quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2021 were impacted by higher-than-expected auto claim frequency and severity, coupled with a significant increase in large fire losses.”

Growth Trends

Mr. Burke continued, “Donegal Group achieved net premiums written¹ growth of 7.3% for the fourth quarter of 2021, with a 14.6% increase in our commercial lines business segment driven by high premium retention and solid rate increases across most lines of business. We continued to receive steady new business submissions from our agents, and we received an allocation of premiums from four Southwestern states that Donegal Mutual began to include in our underwriting pool during 2021. Within our personal lines segment, we remained diligent in strategically slowing new business while taking renewal rate increases to maintain a profitable book of business. As we look forward to 2022, we expect our personal lines business to stabilize further as we reengage with agents to resume writing new business following the phased introduction of new products and agent portal technology in ten states.”

Underwriting Results

Jeffrey D. Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “While we are pleased to report net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years, our fourth quarter and full year of 2021 underwriting results did not meet our expectations. Our combined ratio of 101.6% in the fourth quarter reflected higher automobile claim frequency and severity due to a return to pre-pandemic driving activity levels and inflationary pressures on loss costs. Additionally, an unexpected increase in large fire losses adversely impacted our loss ratio for the fourth quarter and full year. While we believe the increase in large fire losses was an anomaly for the year, we are diligently monitoring our lines of business and pursuing higher premium rates to improve the performance of our book of business in future periods.”

Operations and Outlook

Mr. Burke concluded, “Given the macroeconomic headwinds the insurance industry as a whole is facing currently, our focus in the near and medium term will be on measures that emphasize profitability over growth. We are seeking to retain quality accounts while obtaining premium and rate increases to help offset inflationary pressures. While we will selectively write new business across both segments, we remain conservative in our tactical underwriting approach and are targeting geographies where we believe we have the best potential for profitable growth. We remain committed to our ongoing strategic initiatives that we believe will increase stockholder value over time.”

Net Premiums Written

The 7.3% increase in net premiums written for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, as shown in the table above, represents the combination of 14.6% growth in commercial lines net premiums written and a 2.8% decline in personal lines net premiums written. The $12.4 million increase in net premiums written for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 included:

•

Commercial Lines: $14.3 million increase that we attribute primarily to the allocation from the Donegal Mutual underwriting pool of $11.8 million of business Donegal Mutual and its subsidiaries wrote in four Southwestern states, new commercial accounts our insurance subsidiaries wrote throughout their operating regions and premium rate increases that contributed to strong renewal premium retention.

•

Personal Lines: $1.9 million decline that we attribute primarily to net attrition as a result of underwriting measures our insurance subsidiaries implemented to slow new policy growth, partially offset by premium rate increases our insurance subsidiaries have implemented over the past four quarters.

The $62.1 million increase in net premiums written for the full year of 2021 compared to the full year of 2020 included:

•

Commercial Lines: $75.8 million increase that we attribute primarily to the allocation from the Donegal Mutual underwriting pool of $46.3 million of business Donegal Mutual and its subsidiaries wrote in four Southwestern states, new commercial accounts our insurance subsidiaries wrote throughout their operating regions and premium rate increases that contributed to strong renewal premium retention.

•

Personal Lines: $13.7 million decline in personal lines net premiums written that we attribute primarily to net attrition as a result of underwriting measures our insurance subsidiaries implemented to slow new policy growth, partially offset by premium rate increases our insurance subsidiaries have implemented over the past four quarters.

Underwriting Performance

We evaluate the performance of our commercial lines and personal lines segments primarily based upon the underwriting results of our insurance subsidiaries as determined under statutory accounting practices. The following table presents comparative details with respect to the GAAP and statutory combined ratios¹ for the three months and full years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Loss Ratio – Fourth Quarter

For the fourth quarter of 2021, the loss ratio increased to 69.7%, compared to 62.7% for the fourth quarter of 2020. Personal automobile and commercial automobile losses increased substantially compared to the prior-year fourth quarter, as increased driving activity resulted in claim frequency that was generally in line with pre-pandemic periods. Inflationary loss cost increases due primarily to supply chain disruption and labor shortages resulted in higher average claim severity compared to the prior-year fourth quarter, particularly impacting the personal automobile, commercial automobile and commercial multi-peril lines of business.

Weather-related losses of $8.7 million, or 4.3 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased slightly from $8.9 million, or 4.8 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the fourth quarter of 2020. The impact of weather-related loss activity to the loss ratio for the fourth quarter of 2021 was in line with our previous five-year average of 4.4 percentage points for fourth quarter weather-related losses.

Large fire losses, which we define as individual fire losses in excess of $50,000, were $10.9 million, or 5.5 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the fourth quarter of 2021. That amount represented a significant increase compared to the large fire losses of $5.2 million, or 2.8 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the fourth quarter of 2020. The incidence of both commercial property and home fires increased in the fourth quarter of 2021 relative to the prior-year quarter.

Net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years of $5.3 million reduced the loss ratio for the fourth quarter of 2021 by 2.7 percentage points. For the fourth quarter of 2021, our insurance subsidiaries experienced favorable development in personal automobile, commercial automobile and other commercial losses. Net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years of $2.6 million reduced the loss ratio for the fourth quarter of 2020 by 1.4 percentage points. Favorable development in workers’ compensation losses and other commercial losses was partially offset by modest unfavorable development in commercial multi-peril losses for the prior-year quarter.

Loss Ratio – Full Year

For the full year of 2021, the loss ratio increased to 67.1%, compared to 62.0% for the full year of 2020. Weather-related losses for the full year of 2021 of $45.3 million, or 5.8 percentage points of the loss ratio, decreased from $51.4 million, or 6.9 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the full year of 2020. The loss ratio impact of weather-related losses for the full year of 2021 was favorable compared to the previous five-year average of 7.2 percentage points of the loss ratio.

Our loss ratio for the full year of 2021 reflected an increase in automobile claim frequency as driving activity generally returned to pre-pandemic levels. More specifically, the statutory loss ratio for our personal automobile line of business increased from 61.1% for 2020 to 69.4% for 2021. Net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years partially offset the increases in claim frequency and severity for both the personal automobile and commercial automobile lines of business.

Large fire losses were $45.6 million, or 5.9 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the full year of 2021, compared to $22.8 million, or 3.1 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the full year of 2020. The significant increase was related to a higher incidence of both commercial property and home fires in the full year of 2021 compared to 2020.

Net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years of $31.2 million reduced the loss ratio for the full year of 2021 by 4.0 percentage points. For the full year of 2021, our insurance subsidiaries experienced favorable development in losses in all major lines of business, with primary favorable impact in the personal automobile, workers’ compensation and commercial automobile lines of business. Net favorable development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years of $12.9 million reduced the loss ratio for the full year of 2020 by 1.7 percentage points. Favorable development in workers’ compensation and personal automobile losses was partially offset by modest unfavorable development in commercial automobile and commercial multi-peril losses for the prior year.

Expense Ratio

The expense ratio was 31.4% for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 32.4% for the fourth quarter of 2020. Relative to the prior-year quarter, the decrease in the expense ratio reflected lower commercial growth incentive costs for our agents, decreased underwriting-based incentive costs for our agents and employees and a release of COVID-related bad debt reserves, partially offset by an increase in technology systems-related expenses. The increase in technology systems-related expenses was primarily due to an increased allocation of costs from Donegal Mutual Insurance Company to our insurance subsidiaries with respect to our ongoing systems modernization project.

The expense ratio was 33.3% for the full year of 2021, in line with 33.0% for the full year of 2020. An increase in technology systems-related expenses was virtually offset by lower commercial growth incentive costs for our agents and decreased underwriting-based incentive costs for our agents and employees for 2021 compared to 2020. The expense ratio in 2020 reflected the establishment of a $2.0 million bad debt reserve for COVID-related uncertainty, and the expense ratio for 2021 reflected the release of that reserve when it became clear such reserves were no longer required.

Investment Operations

Donegal Group’s investment strategy is to generate an appropriate amount of after-tax income on its invested assets while minimizing credit risk through investment in high-quality securities. As a result, we had invested 94.0% of our consolidated investment portfolio in diversified, highly rated and marketable fixed-maturity securities at December 31, 2021.

Average tax-equivalent investment yield		2.6	%					2.7	%

Net investment income of $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased 8.6% compared to $7.6 million in net investment income for the fourth quarter of 2020, due primarily to higher average invested assets compared to the prior-year fourth quarter. Net investment income of $31.1 million for the full year of 2021 increased 5.5% compared to the full year of 2020, due primarily to higher average invested assets compared to the prior year.

Net investment gains were $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. We attribute the gains to the quarterly increases in the market value of the equity securities held at the end of the respective periods.

Net investment gains were $6.5 million for the full year of 2021, compared to $2.8 million for the full year of 2020. We attribute the gains to the increases in the market value of the equity securities held at the end of the respective periods.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our consolidated financial statements on the basis of GAAP. Our insurance subsidiaries also prepare financial statements based on statutory accounting principles state insurance regulators prescribe or permit (“SAP”). In addition to using GAAP-based performance measurements, we also utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide value in managing our business and for comparison to the financial results of our peers. These non-GAAP measures are net premiums written, operating income or loss and statutory combined ratio.

Net premiums written and operating income or loss are non-GAAP financial measures investors in insurance companies commonly use. We define net premiums written as the amount of full-term premiums our insurance subsidiaries record for policies effective within a given period less premiums our insurance subsidiaries cede to reinsurers. We define operating income or loss as net income or loss excluding after-tax net investment gains or losses, after-tax restructuring charges and other significant non-recurring items. Because our calculation of operating income or loss may differ from similar measures other companies use, investors should exercise caution when comparing our measure of operating income or loss to the measure of other companies.

The statutory combined ratio is a standard non-GAAP measurement of underwriting profitability that is based upon amounts determined under SAP. The statutory combined ratio is the sum of:

•

the statutory loss ratio, which is the ratio of calendar-year incurred losses and loss expenses to premiums earned;

•

the statutory expense ratio, which is the ratio of expenses incurred for net commissions, premium taxes and underwriting expenses to premiums written; and

•

the statutory dividend ratio, which is the ratio of dividends to holders of workers’ compensation policies to premiums earned.

The statutory combined ratio does not reflect investment income, federal income taxes or other non-operating income or expense. A statutory combined ratio of less than 100% generally indicates underwriting profitability.

Dividend Information

On December 16, 2021, we declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share for our Class A common stock and $0.1425 per share for our Class B common stock, which are payable on February 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 1, 2022.
