Management Commentary
Kingstone’s Chairman and CEO, Barry Goldstein, commented about the first quarter, “We accomplished a great deal during the quarter, and while there were some things to like and point out here, winter weather and an unusual number of large fire claims impacted our underwriting results.
Direct written premiums in our continuing lines of business grew by 21.6%. We began to see a decline in the contribution of our Auto Physical Damage line to the overall growth rate. The Auto Physical Damage line, after growing fivefold in the last three calendar years, grew by just 29.9% in Q1. In our core personal lines of homeowners and dwelling fire coverages, which account for 76% of gross premiums written, we saw a stronger contribution as these grew by 22.5%.
We were happy to see a decline in overall claims frequency during the quarter, helping us to report a net loss ratio of 65.3%, down 2.7 points from last year’s 68.0%. We were again able to release some pre-2015 reserves which favorably impacted the quarter’s net loss ratio by 2.9 points.
However, an unfortunate and random spurt of large fire losses, those with direct losses exceeding $200,000, added 6.8 points to the net loss ratio compared to Q1 2015, and incrementally reduced our earnings per share by $0.09. And while this was a winter kinder than the prior two, it still yielded losses we label as a catastrophe. The computation of how we determine the amount of winter weather catastrophe losses has been discussed on previous conference calls, as the excess losses above an average winter season. During Q1, cat losses from severe winter weather added 9.7 points to our net loss ratio, or $.13 per diluted share. This is slightly above our initial high-end estimate of 9.0 points for the quarter. Note that in Q1 2015, winter cat losses contributed 17.7 points.”
Kingstone’s SVP and Chief Actuary, Ben Walden, elaborated on the loss ratio for the quarter. “Despite the relatively benign winter season in the New York region, a single severe freezing event in mid-February negatively impacted our result for the quarter. The timing of the event preceded a holiday week, and as temperatures plunged to sub-zero levels, several large claims from frozen pipes resulted in severe water damage losses.”
Mr. Walden added, “Our net core loss ratio excluding severe winter weather and prior year development increased from 49.3% to 58.5% in Q1 2016. The primary reason for the increase in the core net loss ratio was an unusual number of large fire claims. The Q1 core net loss ratio was impacted by 6.8 points in additional large fire claim activity compared to the large fire claim impact for Q1 2015. It should be noted that the overall frequency of fire claims did not change materially in Q1 compared to previous quarters.”
Mr. Goldstein added, “Aided by a strong fixed income market, our portfolio experienced an increase to net unrealized gains, which, net of tax, amounted to $926,000 and added $.13 per share to our quarter end book value of $6.32.”

2016 First Quarter Review
Net Income:
Net income increased 41.6% to $.54 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income of $.38 million in the prior-year period. The increase can be attributed to a 39.9% increase in net premiums earned as a result of growth and changes in quota share reinsurance, a 41.4% increase in net investment income, and an improvement in the net loss ratio that was partially offset by an increase in the net underwriting expense ratio.
Earnings per share (“EPS”):
Kingstone reported EPS of $.07 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $.05 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2015. EPS for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was based on 7.4 million and 7.3 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Direct Written Premiums(1), Net Written Premiums(1) and Net Premiums Earned:
Direct written premiums (1) for the first quarter of 2016 were $23.0 million, an increase of 18.2% from $19.5 million in the prior year period. The increase is attributable to an 18.9% increase in the total number of policies in-force for continuing lines as of March 31, 2016 from March 31, 2015.
The Company’s growth rate for its continuing lines of business was 21.6% during the first quarter of 2016. The Company began the non-renewal of its existing commercial auto policies beginning May 1, 2015. The Company had 34 and 599 commercial auto policies in force as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
Net written premiums (1) increased 34.8% to $14.7 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 from $10.9 million in the prior year period. This change is after taking into account the change from a gross to net quota share treaty as of July 1, 2015. The change to a net quota share treaty shifted all of the catastrophe reinsurance cost to the Company. The treaty change increased the ceded catastrophe premiums, resulting in an incremental reduction to net written premiums.
Net premiums earned for first quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased 39.9% to $14.5 million, compared to $10.4 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s continuing growth, in addition to retaining a higher percentage of its premiums due to the reduction of the quota share percentage in its personal lines quota share treaty on July 1, 2015.
Net Loss Ratio:
For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company’s net loss ratio was 65.3%, compared to 68.0% in the prior year. In 2016, the impact of prior year development was favorable by 2.9 points, compared to unfavorable prior year development of 1.0 points for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, or an improvement of 3.9 points in the impact of prior year development.
Severe winter weather had a 9.7 point impact on the net loss ratio for 2016, compared to a 17.7 point impact for 2015. The core loss ratio excluding prior year development and severe winter weather was 58.5%, which was 9.2 points higher than the core loss ratio of 49.3% recorded for 2015. However, 6.8 points of this variance was related to an increased impact from large fire claims, categorized as those with gross losses over $200K.
Net Underwriting Expense Ratio:
For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the ratio of other underwriting expenses to direct earned premiums decreased to 14.6% from 15.8% in the prior year period. The Company believes that utilizing the ratio of other underwriting expenses to direct earned premiums offers a consistent comparison between periods when there is a change in quota share ceding percentages.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company’s net underwriting expense ratio increased to 31.6% from 29.9% in the prior year period. The increase was due to the impact that reduced quota share ceding commission revenues have in relation to net premiums earned, resulting from the decrease in personal lines quota share ceding percentage to 40% from 55% on July 1, 2015. Changes in quota share ceding percentages make comparisons of the net underwriting expense ratio between periods less meaningful.

Net Combined Ratio:
Kingstone’s net combined ratio was 96.9% for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to 97.9% for the prior year period.
Balance Sheet / Investment Portfolio
Kingstone’s cash and investment holdings were $94.0 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $90.4 million at December 31, 2015. The Company’s investment holdings are comprised primarily of investment grade corporate, mortgage-backed and municipal securities, with fixed income investments representing approximately 88.7% of total investments at March 31, 2016, and 88.0% at December 31, 2015. The Company’s effective duration on its fixed-income portfolio is 4.37 years, and this measure has steadily decreased over the past several quarters.
Net investment income increased 41.4% to $813,000 for the first quarter of 2016 from $575,000 in the prior year period, largely due to an increase in invested assets and a decline in investment expenses. The pre-tax equivalent investment yield on estimated annual income, excluding cash, was 4.80% and 4.79% as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), net of tax
During the quarter ended March 31, 2016 AOCI increased by $.9 million to $1.4 million.
Book Value
The Company’s book value per share at March 31, 2016 was $6.32, an increase of 13.5% compared to $5.57 at March 31, 2015 and a sequential quarterly increase from December 31, 2015 of 2.3%

Net combined ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes - is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between GAAP net combined ratio and the effect of catastrophes on the net 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 catastrophe losses. 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 net combined ratio. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate this component separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our underwriting performance. We also provide it to facilitate a comparison to our outlook on the net combined ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the net combined ratio. The net combined ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes should not be considered a substitute for the net combined ratio and does not reflect the Companys net combined ratio.
The following table reconciles the net combined ratio excluding the effects of catastrophes to the net combined ratio:
