American National Announces Second Quarter 2016 Results
GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 01, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American National Insurance Company (Nasdaq:ANAT) announced second quarter 2016 net income of $32.6 million or $1.21 per diluted share, which included an increase in operating income, compared to net income of $35.1 million or $1.30 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. Book value per diluted share increased to $170.91 at June 30, 2016 from $165.20 at December 31, 2015.
Second quarter after-tax operating income of $28.8 million or $1.07 per diluted share increased from $25.7 million or $0.95 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. Second quarter earnings from operations increased for the life and annuity segments compared to the same period in 2015. Property and casualty results were negatively impacted by higher personal auto claim frequency and severity resulting in a decrease in segment results. After-tax operating income excludes realized investment earnings, which is comprised of realized investment gains, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and income (loss) from non-controlling interests. Realized investment earnings for the second quarter of 2016 were $3.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share compared to $9.3 million or $0.35 per diluted share for the same period in 2015.
In 2016 the company achieved revenue increases in its life insurance, annuity and property and casualty segments over the same period in 2015. Life insurance in force continued to grow during 2016, increasing by $2.6 billion, to reach $92.8 billion as of June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, stockholders’ equity totaled $4.6 billion, a 3.5% increase from December 31, 2015.
