EXHIBIT 99.1
GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American National Insurance Company (Nasdaq:ANAT) announced third quarter 2015 net income of $42,013,000 or $1.56 per diluted share compared to net income of $66,939,000 or $2.49 per diluted share for the same period in 2014.
Third quarter after-tax operating income of $41,966,000 or $1.56 per diluted share decreased from $67,707,000 or $2.52 per diluted share for the same period in 2014. The lower operating earnings were primarily due to a decrease in net investment income and losses in the health segment. After-tax operating income excludes realized investment earnings, which is comprised of realized investment gains (losses), equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and income from non-controlling interests. Realized investment earnings for the third quarter of 2015 were $47,000 or $0.00 per diluted share compared to losses of $768,000 or $0.03 per diluted share for the same period in 2014.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $180,048,000 or $6.68 per diluted share compared to net income of $176,367,000 or $6.55 per diluted share for the same period in 2014.
After-tax operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $107,626,000 or $3.99 per diluted share, compared to $150,142,000 or $5.58 per diluted share for the same period in 2014. Realized investment earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $72,422,000 or $2.69 per diluted share, an increase from $26,225,000 or $0.97 for the same period in 2014. The increase in realized investment earnings was primarily due to the sale of certain real estate holdings in unconsolidated joint ventures during the first and third quarters of 2015.
Total revenues of $699.9 million for the third quarter of 2015 were $46.3 million less or a 6.2% decrease from the third quarter in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in net investment income. At September 30, 2015, Stockholders' Equity totaled $4.4 billion, a 0.1% increase from December 31, 2014. Book value per diluted share increased to $164.55 at September 30, 2015 from $164.48 at December 31, 2014.
