Quarterly Financial Results
Revenues and net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, but decreased compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase over the first quarter of 2014 is due to continued growth of policies renewed and written during 2014. The decrease compared to the second quarter of 2013 is due to non-recurring retroactive reinsurance revenue in the second quarter of 2013 and during the second quarter of 2013 premiums ceded being significantly less as a percentage of gross earned premiums due to start-up nature of the company in early 2013, partially offset by significantly lower gross earned premiums in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2014.
The Company’s gross premiums written for the second quarter of 2014 increased by $30.4 million, or 44.1%, over the prior quarter. Gross premiums written for the second quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2014, respectively, were $99.3 million and $68.9 million. During the second quarter, we completed the acquisition of approximately 33,000 policies from Sunshine State Insurance Company (SSIC), following SSIC’s receivership. This acquisition resulted in assumed premiums written of $29.3 million, representing the unearned premiums on the policies acquired, at the time of the acquisition. The policies Heritage assumed from SSIC represent approximately $59 million of annual premium.
Below is a table showing the sources of gross premiums written. Direct premiums written for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased by 36.4% over the first quarter, 2014.
