FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS BY SEGMENT
Excess and Surplus Lines Segment
The Excess & Surplus Lines segment reported gross premiums written of $175.8 million in the quarter, up $31.9 million, or 22.2%, from the second quarter of 2012. Growth in the quarter reflects higher premiums across virtually all units as we saw increased submission flow and modest rate increases. Net premiums written were up 17.2% from the second quarter of 2012 to $138.0 million. Underwriting income was $7.3 million for the quarter, compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2012, reflecting a combined ratio of 93.2%, compared with 88.6% in the prior year quarter. The higher combined ratio primarily reflects a lower level of prior accident year reserve releases. Net favorable prior-year reserve development was $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 and represented 8.5 points on the combined ratio compared to $12.4 million or 12.5 points in 2012. Losses from catastrophes and U.S. storms were $2.6 million or 2.4 points on the combined ratio compared to $2.1 million or 2.1 points in 2012.
- more -
For the six-month period ending June 30, 2013, gross premiums written were up 20.8% to $303.4 million, net premiums written were up 15.6% to $238.8 million, and net premiums earned rose 9.8% to $213.8 million over the same period in 2012. For the first six months of 2013, underwriting income was $11.9 million compared to $19.5 million in the same period of 2012. Lower underwriting income in the 2013 period reflects a higher level of favorable reserve development in the 2012 period of $21.7 million compared to $14.4 million in the same period of 2013. The six-month 2013 combined ratio, excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, was 99.6% compared to 100.1% in the first six months of 2012.
Commercial Specialty
Commercial Specialty reported gross premiums written of $85.6 million in the quarter, down from $92.7 million in the same period of 2012. The decline primarily reflects initiatives to remove underperforming accounts at Argo Insurance and Trident, partially offset by rate increases and modest growth in other business units. Net premiums written declined 11.7% to $55.0 million. Net premiums earned were $75.3 million, down 7.3% from the year ago period. Commercial Specialty reported a $2.8 million underwriting loss, an improvement from the $14.2 million loss in the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter 2013 combined ratio of 103.8% includes 6.5 points attributable to two large losses in our public entity and commercial programs books and compares with a combined ratio of 117.4% in the second quarter of 2012. Net favorable prior-year reserve development was $1.0 million, or 1.2 points, this quarter compared to reserve strengthening of $13.4 million, or 16.5 points, in the second quarter of 2012. Losses from catastrophes and U.S. storms were $1.6 million or 2.1 points on the combined ratio compared to $1.8 million or 2.3 points in 2012.
For the six-month period ending June 30, 2013 gross premiums written were $191.7 million compared to $200.4 million in 2012. Net premiums written were $126.7 million compared to $141.0 million in 2012. Net premiums earned were $150.5 million compared to $163.2 million in 2012. For the first six months of 2013 the segment recorded an underwriting loss of $1.8 million compared to a loss of $20.2 million in the same period of 2012. The six-month 2013 combined ratio, excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, was 99.4% compared to 98.8% in the first six months of 2012.
International Specialty
International Specialty reported a 14.0% rise in gross premiums written to $96.1 million in the quarter, up from $84.3 million in the same period of 2012 due to the build out of our Brazilian operations and modestly higher premiums at Argo Re, our short-tail reinsurance operation. Net premiums written rose 16.5% to $61.5 million in the current quarter. Net premiums earned were $36.4 million, up 23.8% from the year ago period. The segment underwriting profit was $1.9 million compared to $7.8 million in 2012. The current quarter’s underwriting results reflects a combined ratio of 94.3%, compared with 71.1% in the second quarter of 2012. Net favorable prior-year reserve development was $0.3 million, or 0.9 points, this quarter compared with $3.4 million, or 12.6 points, in the second quarter of 2012. Losses from catastrophe and U.S. storms were $5.5 million or 17.1 points on the combined ratio in the current quarter due to the European floods and U.S. storms. There was no impact from catastrophes in the second quarter of 2012.
