From ProSight CEO Larry Hannon:
"I would like to thank all of our employees who contributed to our exceptional fourth quarter and full-year results. Coupled with the strong support of our distribution partners, the ProSight team delivered excellent financial results consistent with our high expectations, including strong net income from continuing operations, and record-level annual GWP and adjusted operating income. Our success in 2019 is further evidence that our focus on specific niches and ability to deliver differentiated offerings that are valuable to our customers position us to deliver double-digit top line growth, ROE, and increases in book value over the long term. As we enter 2020, I believe we are poised to build upon last year's achievements and success."
Results of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019
Net income from continuing operations was $14.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $13.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted operating income (1) was $16.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $15.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018.
GWP including Other (2), increased 12.7% for the fourth quarter of 2019 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. GWP (2) from customer segments was $249.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $209.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of 19.1%. The growth was largest within the Transportation, Real Estate and Consumer Services customer segments. Other GWP (2) were $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, the decrease driven by the exit from excess workers' compensation.
Underwriting income (1) was $5.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $9.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The combined ratio for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 97.2% compared to 95.1% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in underwriting income (1) was due to changes in:
- The loss ratio was 61.9% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 58.6% for the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the effect of the whole account quota share reinsurance agreements (the "WAQS"), the adjusted loss ratio (3) was 61.5% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 58.6% for the fourth quarter of 2018.
The adjusted loss ratio (3) for the fourth quarter of 2019 included a current accident year loss ratio (excluding catastrophe losses) of 61.5% compared to a current accident year loss ratio (excluding catastrophe losses) of 57.3% in the fourth quarter of 2018. There were no catastrophe losses in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $3.6 million of catastrophe losses (1.8 percentage points) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The adjusted loss ratio (3) for the fourth quarter of 2019 included $0.1 million (0.0 percentage points) of favorable prior accident year loss development compared to $1.0 million (0.5 percentage points) of favorable prior accident year loss development in the fourth quarter of 2018. - The expense ratio was 35.3% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 36.5% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the effect of the WAQS, the adjusted expense ratio (3) was 35.7% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 36.5% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Net investment income increased by 37.1% to $17.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, from $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in net investment income was driven by an increase in the size of the investment portfolio and improved performance of limited partnerships.

(1). Adjusted operating income and underwriting income are non-GAAP measures. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures". |
(2). Total GWP for the fourth quarter of 2019 including Other were $249.9 million. Total GWP for the year ended December 31, 2019 including Other were $968.0 million. Other includes GWP from certain niches that are no longer part of our customer segments.

(3). Adjusted loss ratio and adjusted expense ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We define adjusted loss ratio and adjusted expense ratio as the corresponding ratio excluding the effects of the WAQS. We use these adjusted ratios as internal performance measures in the management of our operations because we believe they give our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Our adjusted loss ratio and adjusted expense ratio should not be viewed as substitutes for our loss ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio, respectively. |
(4). Adjusted operating return on equity is a non-GAAP measure Adjusted operating return on equity is adjusted operating income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders' equity during the period. |
(5). Tangible stockholders' equity and fully diluted tangible book value per share are non-GAAP measures. Tangible stockholders' equity is total common stockholders' equity excluding the value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Fully diluted tangible book value per share is total common stockholders' equity excluding value of goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the number of common shares outstanding, unvested restricted shares and vested not issued shares. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures". |

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful in evaluating our underwriting performance without regard to investment income. Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting losses and LAE, and underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses from net earned premiums. We use underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives us and users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate underwriting income differently.
Net income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 reconciles to underwriting income as follows:

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and underlying business performance, by excluding items that are not part of our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future. Adjusted operating income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for our net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate adjusted operating income differently.
Net income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 reconciles to adjusted operating income as follows:

Tangible stockholders' equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define tangible stockholders' equity as stockholders' equity less goodwill and net intangible assets. Our definition of tangible stockholders' equity may not be comparable to that of other companies and it should not be viewed as a substitute for stockholders' equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible stockholders' equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure.
Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2019 and 2018 reconciles to tangible stockholders' equity as follows:
