Third Quarter Net Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Operating Income (1) of $1.5 million, $0.03 per Diluted Share.
MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ProSight Global, Inc. (New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"): PROS) (ProSight) today reported results for the third quarter of 2020.
Highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2020 include:
- Fully diluted book value per share ("BVPS") of $13.34, an increase of 3.9% from $12.84 on June 30, 2020 and 11.1% from $12.01 on December 31, 2019.
- Rate execution of 11.8%, excluding workers compensation, and 10.9%, including workers compensation, with acceleration throughout the quarter.
- Net investment income of $20.3 million in the current quarter, an increase of 19.6% from the third quarter of 2019 driven by growth of the portfolio and strong investment results.
- Pre-tax impact of catastrophes of $22.0 million in the current quarter, including $16.9 million of net losses and $5.1 million of related reinstatement premiums on reinsurance contracts. Most of the loss activity stems from Hurricane Laura and the California and Oregon wildfires.
- Combined ratio of 108.3% compared to 98.3% in the third quarter of 2019, reflecting 11.6 points of catastrophe losses and the impact of related reinstatement premiums in the current quarter compared to 0.0 points in the third quarter of 2019. The combined ratio excluding the impact of catastrophes is 96.7% for the current period compared to 98.3% for the third quarter of 2019.
- Current accident year loss ratio excluding the impact of catastrophes of 59.9% compared to 60.1% for the third quarter of 2019.
- Strong expense management which resulted in $23.0 million of general and administrative expenses in the current quarter, a decrease of $3.0 million or 11.5% compared to the third quarter of 2019.
Larry Hannon, President & CEO:
"We extend our sympathies to all of those impacted by the events that caused so much damage on both coasts and in the Gulf this quarter. I'd like to thank our employees and distribution partners for responding quickly to our customers in their time of need.
"The third quarter was the largest catastrophe quarter in ProSight's history. Despite the cat losses and the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in the quarter, we did generate positive net income, grow our book value per share, and post a 59.9% loss ratio excluding cats and related items.
"We saw an increase in submissions along with strong rate execution, both of which continue into the fourth quarter. Overall, we are executing well in this environment, providing exceptional service to our insureds and distribution partners, and setting the stage for profitable growth in the years ahead."
Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020:
Net income from continuing operations was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $8.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted operating income (1) was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $13.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019.
Gross written premium ("GWP") including Other(2), decreased 10.4% for the third quarter of 2020 when compared to the third quarter of 2019. GWP(2) from customer segments was $201.9 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $223.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 9.8%, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on our Transportation and Media & Entertainment customer segments, and a contraction in the Consumer Services customer segment from a decision to reduce monoline workers' compensation.
Underwriting loss (1) was $14.2 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to an underwriting income of $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. The combined ratio for the third quarter of 2020 was 108.3% compared to 98.3% for the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of catastrophes, the combined ratio for the third quarter of 2020 was 96.7% compared to 98.3% in the third quarter of 2019.
The loss ratio was 71.5% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 62.8% for the third quarter of 2019. The current accident year loss ratio was 71.5% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 60.1% for the third quarter of 2019. The current accident year loss ratio, excluding the impact of catastrophes was 59.9%.
The loss ratio for the third quarter of 2020 included no prior accident year loss impact compared to 2.7 percentage points ($5.5 million) of unfavorable prior accident year loss development in the third quarter of 2019.
The expense ratio was 36.8% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 35.5% in the third quarter of 2019 (36.3% adjusted for the effect of Whole Account Quota Share ("WAQS")(3)), with the increase from reduced earned premium driven by COVID-19, reinsurance reinstatement premiums in the current quarter, and a ceding commission benefit from WAQS in the third quarter of 2019. The policy acquisition expense ratio was 23.4% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 22.7% in the third quarter of 2019 (23.5% adjusted for the effect of WAQS (3)). The general and administrative expense ratio was 13.4% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 12.8% in the third quarter of 2019.
Net investment income increased by 19.6% to $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $17.0 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase in net investment income was primarily driven by year over year growth in the book value of the investment portfolio of 12.4% to $2.4 billion and unrealized gains from our limited partnerships, partially offset by a decline in investment yields on fixed maturity securities.
Realized investment gains, net of realized losses, for the third quarter of 2020 were $1.4 million compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2019.
Total stockholders' equity was $607.9 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $543.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Tangible stockholders' equity (4) was $578.7 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $513.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The increases in total stockholders' equity and tangible stockholders' equity (4) were primarily driven by $26.1 million of net income in the first nine months of 2020 and an increase in other comprehensive income of $33.6 million, driven by net unrealized gains on investment securities.
Fully diluted book value per share at September 30, 2020 was $13.34, a 11.1% increase from December 31, 2019. Fully diluted tangible book value per share(4) was $12.70 at September 30, 2020, a 11.7% increase from December 31, 2019.
(1) Adjusted operating income and underwriting (loss) income are non-generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures". |
(2) Total GWP for the third quarter of 2020 including Other were $203.5 million. Other includes GWP from certain niches that are no longer part of our customer segments. "Other" includes GWP from (i) primary and excess workers' compensation coverage for exited Self-Insured Groups (ii) niches exited prior to 2018, many with a concentration in commercial auto, (iii) certain fronting arrangements in which all premium written is ceded to a third party, (iv) participation in industry pools, and (v) emerging new business. |
(3) In connection with the divestment of our U.K. business, New York Marine as reinsured entered into the WAQS with third party reinsurers to maintain reasonable underwriting leverage within New York Marine and its subsidiary insurance companies during a transition period following the U.K. divestment. The effective date of the WAQS was April 1, 2017. During 2018 and following the transition of the U.S. business back to New York Marine, the WAQS were terminated. Effective January 1, 2020, the WAQS was commuted at an amount equal to ceded reserves. The effect of the WAQS on our results of operations is primarily reflected in our ceded written premiums, losses and LAE, as well as our underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses. |
(4) Tangible stockholders' equity and fully diluted tangible book value per share are non-GAAP measures. Tangible stockholders' equity is total stockholders' equity excluding the value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Fully diluted tangible book value per share is total stockholders' equity excluding the 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". |

(1) Net retention is a non-GAAP measure. We define net retention as the ratio of net written premiums to gross written premiums. |
(2) Underwriting (loss) income is a non-GAAP measure. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures". |
(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 and LAE ratio, adjusted expense ratio and adjusted combined ratio should not be viewed as substitutes for our loss and LAE ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio, respectively. |
(4) The effect of prior year reserve development is included within losses and LAE. |

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Underwriting (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) income differently.
Net income from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 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 net income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate adjusted operating income differently.
Net income from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 reconciles to adjusted operating income as follows:

Tangible stockholders' equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as an internal performance measure to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure. We define tangible stockholders' equity as stockholders' equity less goodwill and net intangible assets. Tangible stockholders' equity should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for stockholders' equity calculated in accordance with GAAP.
