NI Holdings, Inc. Files Results for First Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

Posted on: May 6, 2022 By: Insurance Updates

FARGO, N.D., May 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NODK) today reported net income attributable to NI Holdings of $1.9 million ($0.09 per share) and return on average equity of 2.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $9.7 million ($0.45 per share) and return on average equity of 11.2% in the prior year quarter.

  • Direct written premiums grew 4.3%, driven by our commercial and home and farm segments.
  • Total underwriting gain increased 20.9% to $6.1 million, driven by increased year-over-year profitability in our home and farm segment.
  • The return on average equity was 2.3% compared to 11.2% in the prior year quarter, due to a significant reduction in unrealized investment gains as a result of unfavorable equity market conditions, partially offset by improved underwriting results.
  • Total shareholders’ equity decreased 4.4% from year-end 2021 to $332.3 million, driven by the impact of rising interest rates in our fixed income portfolio.
  • The Company repurchased 54,872 shares of common stock at an average price of $18.17 per share for a total of $1.0 million during the quarter.

“We are off to a solid start with respect to our underwriting performance in 2022”, said Michael J. Alexander, President and CEO. “We were able to achieve excellent underwriting results, as illustrated by our 91.3% combined ratio, while still producing strong premium growth across our commercial, private passenger auto, non-standard auto, and home and farm segments. We are already starting to see the benefits of the pricing and underwriting changes that we implemented during the second-half of 2021. However, we continue to assess additional changes as the high inflationary environment continues to drive increased loss severity, especially in our private passenger auto and non-standard auto segments.”
