EXHIBIT 99.1
GALVESTON, Texas, July 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American National Insurance Company (Nasdaq:ANAT) announced second quarter 2013 net income of $58,169,000 ($2.16 per diluted share) compared to net income of $20,506,000 ($0.76 per diluted share) for the same period in 2012. Improved property and casualty segment results and higher realized investment gains were the primary reasons for the increase in net income.
Second quarter after tax operating income, which excludes after tax net realized investment gains, increased to $29,871,000 ($1.11 per diluted share), as compared with $17,335,000 ($0.64 per diluted share) for the same period in 2012. After tax net realized investment gains were $28,298,000 ($1.05 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2013 as compared with the net realized gains of $3,171,000 ($0.12 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2012.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $118,140,000 ($4.39 per diluted share), an increase from net income of $65,722,000 ($2.45 per diluted share), for the same period in 2012.
After-tax operating earnings for the first six months of 2013, which exclude after tax net realized investment gains, were $78,823,000 ($2.93 per diluted share) compared to $58,020,000 ($2.16 per diluted share) for the same period in 2012. Operations for the period benefited from investment income relating to prepayment of mortgage loan investments and the disposition of certain investment real estate. After tax net realized investment gains totaled $39,317,000 ($1.46 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2013 compared with after tax net realized gains of $7,702,000 ($0.29 per diluted share) for the same period in 2012.
Life insurance from recurring premium products issued is up 39.3% over the prior year. Stockholders' Equity as of June 30, 2013 increased 2.4% from the end of 2012 to $3.9 billion. Book value per diluted share was $145.74 at June 30, 2013 as compared to $142.49 per diluted share at December 31, 2012. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased compared to the same period in 2012, primarily as a result of a higher level of realized gains on investments.
