“This was another strong quarter for UPC Insurance as we continued to execute our growth strategy in coastal states from Texas to Maine,” said John Forney, President & Chief Executive Officer of UPC Insurance. “During the quarter, we were licensed in two new states, added several key members to our management team, entered a complementary line of business, and passed the $100 billion threshold in total insured value. Our premium volume during the quarter was the highest in company history by over 20%, and approximately 60% of our new business during the quarter came from outside Florida.”

Quarterly Financial Results
Net income for the quarter was $9.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $4.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in the second quarter in 2013. The increase in net income was primarily due to lower ceded reinsurance premium percentage for the quarter compared to the prior period and gross earned premium growth in all states in 2014.
The Company's direct gross written premiums increased by $25.6 million, or 24.8%, primarily due to the organic growth in new and renewal business generated in the states in which the Company currently writes. The quarter-over-quarter growth in gross written premiums by state is shown in the table below:

1 All assumed premiums are written in Florida due to the policy assumptions from Citizens.
Policy acquisition costs increased $4.0 million, or 33.1%, to $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. These costs vary directly with the growth in gross premiums earned which increased 29.8% over the second quarter of 2013.
Operating expenses increased to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, from $2.6 million during the same period of last year due to increases in home inspection costs and licenses and fees resulting from the Company's ongoing growth and continuing expansion into new states.
General and administrative expenses increased to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2014, from $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to increases in personnel costs and professional services related to the Company's growth.
Year-to-Date Financial Results
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $21.0 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to $8.9 million, or $0.55 per diluted share for the same period last year. The increase was driven primarily by continued strong premium growth and a decrease in the ceded reinsurance premium percentage compared to the prior period.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses increased to $56.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, from $43.6 million for the same period last year. Prior year favorable development for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $1.2 million compared to adverse development of $3.5 million for the same period in 2013.
Policy acquisition costs increased to $31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $23.5 million for the same period of 2013, or 33.8%. These costs vary directly with premiums earned and as a percentage of gross premiums earned, which increased 32.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Operating expenses increased to $5.4 million for the year from $4.7 million during the same period of last year due to increases in several expense categories, none of which was individually significant. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by the Company's growth and expansion into new states.
2
General and administrative expenses increased to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $6.7 million for the same period in 2013 primarily due to an increase in personnel costs related to the Company's continued growth.
Combined Ratio Analysis
The Company's GAAP net combined ratio improved 9.2 points during the first half of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. UPC Insurance’s underlying net combined ratio, which excludes losses from catastrophes and reserve development, also improved 0.4 points for the first half of 2014 signaling continued improvement in the Company’s core operating results over the same period a year ago. Both the combined and underlying combined ratios decreased primarily due to strong premium growth and a lower ceded reinsurance premium percentage for the quarter compared to the prior period. As a result of these factors, net premiums earned increased $40.0 million, or 45.3%, to $128.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $88.3 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in net premiums earned was partially offset by the increase in the Company's underlying loss costs, which increased approximately $20.9 million during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in underlying loss costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was driven primarily by the growth of policies in-force as shown below:

* Underlying Loss and LAE is a non-GAAP financial measure and is reconciled above to Net Loss and LAE, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release is in the "Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" section of this document.
The Company’s gross underlying loss ratio increased to 29.8% during the first half of 2014, which was up 4.6 points from 25.2% in the first half of 2013. The primary drivers of this change were increases in the severity of water-related losses in Florida, as well as water and freeze-related losses in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Water-related losses and other loss causes in states outside of Florida accounted for approximately 2.2 points of the 4.6 point increase in the Company's gross underlying loss ratio. These negative changes in the gross loss ratio were partially offset by a lower ceded reinsurance premium percentage, which allowed the Company's net underlying loss ratio to increase by only percentage 3.5 points.
3
Reinsurance Costs Decreased as a % of Earned Premium for both the Quarter and Year-to-Date
Excluding the Company's flood business, for which it cedes 100% of the risk of loss, reinsurance costs in the second quarter of 2014 were 30.7% of gross premiums earned compared to 35.5% of gross premiums earned for the second quarter of 2013. Reinsurance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were 30.1% of gross premiums earned compared to 35.9% for the same period last year.
Investment Portfolio Highlights
UPC Insurance's cash and investment holdings totaled $427.1 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $323.8 million at December 31, 2013. UPC Insurance's cash and investment holdings consist primarily of investments in high-quality money market instruments, U.S. Government and agency securities and high-quality corporate debt. Fixed maturities represented approximately 82.3% of total investments at June 30, 2014, and 94.5% at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the fixed maturities holdings is due to a $44.0 million investment in a short duration bond mutual fund during the first half of the year that is classified as an equity investment according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Book Value Analysis
Book value per share increased 33.3% from $6.64 at December 31, 2013, to $8.85 at June 30, 2014. The increase in the Company's book value per share was primarily driven by the $54.0 million of capital raised during the first quarter and the Company’s growth in net income. The Company's underlying book value per share increased 30.9% from $6.63 at December 31, 2013 to $8.68 at June 30, 2014 because accumulated other comprehensive income was $0.1 million at December 31, 2013 compared to a balance of $3.5 million at June 30, 2014. The Company’s large accumulated other comprehensive income balance at the end of the second quarter 2014 reduced the Company’s underlying book value per share by $0.17 per share compared to the balance at the end of 2013 which reduced the Company’s underlying book value per share by $0.01 per share.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We believe that investors' understanding of UPC Insurance's performance is enhanced by our disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. Our methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between four GAAP operating ratios: the combined ratio, the effect of current year catastrophe losses on the combined ratio, the effect of development from lines in run-off and prior year development on the combined ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors and it is used by management to reveal the trends in our business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses, losses from lines in run-off and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. The most direct comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
Net Loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and reserve development (underlying Loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure which is computed as the difference between loss and LAE, current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development. We use underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze our loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on our reserves. As discussed previously, these three items can have a significant impact on our loss trend in a given period. The most direct comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net losses and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
Consolidated net loss ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses, reserve development (underlying loss ratio) is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between three GAAP operating ratios: the consolidated net loss ratio, the effect of current year catastrophe losses on the loss ratio, and the effect of prior year development on the loss ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors and it is used by management to reveal the trends in our consolidated net loss ratio that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on our consolidated net loss ratio in a given period. The most direct comparable GAAP ratio is our net consolidated Loss and LAE ratio. The underlying loss ratio should not be considered as a substitute for net consolidated loss ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by dividing common shareholders' equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive income by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. We use the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. We believe the non-GAAP ratio is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by management, and we believe it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. We note that book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, is a measure commonly used by insurance investors as a valuation technique. Book value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share, and does not reflect the recorded net worth of our business.
