WAYZATA, Minn., Aug. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trean Insurance Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TIG) (“Trean” or the “Company”), a leading provider of products and services to the specialty insurance market, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
“We have firmly established ourselves as a ‘growth company’,” stated Andrew M. O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer of Trean. “We have developed a unique business model within the multi-billion dollar specialty insurance market, bolstered by a strong management team, which has provided us with a clear runway to expand organically, as well as a strong pipeline of attractive new opportunities to add to our first-class roster of programs. Importantly, we are rapidly growing while still responsibly managing our risk profile. By remaining disciplined with respect to our underwriting, our premiums will ultimately flow to our bottom line, creating long-term sustainable and profitable bottom line expansion. We are positioned strongly to continue outperforming, and believe we are well on pace to achieve our long-term goal of $1 billion in gross written premiums within the next five years.”
“For the second quarter and first half of 2021, we performed superbly from a growth standpoint, including a high double-digit year-over-year increase in gross written premium, as we continue to strengthen the foundation to create additional long-term value for our shareholders,” added Mr. O’Brien. “We also delivered another quarter of significant net earned and unearned premium growth – accumulating future potential earnings that should contribute to and drive substantial increases in our longer-term net income. In addition, we further expanded our non-workers’ compensation business and diversified our overall business to reduce our concentration risk, while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards.”

Underwriting Results
Gross written premiums increased 42.8% to $156.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $109.6 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily attributable to growth in Trean’s existing program partner business, the addition of new program partners, and the acquisition of 7710 Insurance Company in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Increase in gross unearned premiums was $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $9.3 million in the prior-year period. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had net unearned premiums reflected on its balance sheet of $73.4 million, an increase of $7.2 million compared to March 31, 2021 and an increase of $23.4 million compared to year-end 2020. This continued growth in net unearned premium represents significant deferred premium revenue and, assuming stable loss ratios, future net income to be recognized over subsequent quarters as these net premiums are earned.
Net earned premiums of $47.9 million grew 124.3% compared to the prior year’s second quarter, driven by the increase in gross written and gross earned premiums, partially offset by an increase in ceded earned premiums compared to the prior-year period.
Underwriting income was $3.0 million, resulting in a combined ratio of 93.8% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to underwriting income of $0.9 million and a combined ratio of 95.8% for the prior-year period. Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $29.7 million, which resulted in a 62.0% loss ratio, compared to 57.0% in the prior-year period. The increase in the loss ratio during the second quarter of 2021 versus the prior-year period was primarily attributable to a number of unusually large losses experienced in the first half of 2021.
General and administrative expenses were $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $8.3 million for the prior-year period. The increase was due to a rise in net commissions driven by an increase in the Company’s retention rate from 21.3% to 34.6% year-over-year, increased salaries and benefits resulting primarily from acquisitions made in 2020 and an expanded workforce, as well as an increase in business insurance and insurance-related expenses, rent and office-related expenses. The Company’s expense ratio was 31.8% for the second quarter of 2021, a 700 basis point improvement compared to 38.8% for the prior-year period. The improvement in the expense ratio was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in net earned premiums more than offsetting the impact of the increase in general and administrative expenses.
Net income was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $1.4 million for the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.04. The second quarter of 2021 included intangible asset amortization related to acquisitions, noncash stock compensation and unrealized losses on embedded derivatives, while the second quarter of 2020 included certain non-recurring expenses related to the Company’s initial public offering. Adjusted net income(1), which excludes these items and their related tax impact, was $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to adjusted net income of $4.8 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.08.
Investment Results
Net investment income was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $2.5 million in the prior-year period. Cash and invested assets consist of fixed maturities, equity securities and cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2021 was comprised of $424.9 million of fixed maturity securities. Also included in investments at June 30, 2021 were $3.0 million of equity securities and $101.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s fixed maturities portfolio had an average rating of “AA” at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Other
Other revenue was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $1.5 million for the prior-year period, largely driven by a reduction in management fees due to the expiration of a management contract at the end of the first quarter 2021.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company determined that its funds held agreements with reinsurers contain embedded derivatives relating to a total return swap on the underlying investments. As a result, the Company will now report gains and losses on the embedded derivatives, along with related investment earnings, in operations. While the correction was not material to the previously reported condensed consolidated and condensed combined financial statements, the prior period amounts have been restated for comparability.
Stockholders’ Equity and Returns
Total stockholders’ equity was $417.3 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $410.1 million at December 31, 2020. Return on equity was 2.0% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 3.8% for the prior-year period, and adjusted return on equity(1) was 4.2% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 13.2% for the prior-year period. The change in return on equity reflected a significant increase in the Company’s stockholders’ equity, primarily resulting from the increases in additional paid-in capital related to the IPO and retained earnings since June 2020. Return on tangible equity was 4.2% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 3.8% for the prior-year period and adjusted return on tangible equity was 8.6% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 13.6% for the prior-year period.
Full Year 2021 Gross Written Premium Outlook
The Company is initiating its outlook for gross written premiums for the full year 2021 to be between $605 million and $615 million. This implies year-over-year growth of 25% on the lower end and 27% on the upper end.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Underwriting income
The Company defines underwriting income as income before taxes excluding net investment income, investment revaluation gains, net realized capital gains or losses, IPO-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, losses on embedded derivatives, interest expense, other revenue and other income and expenses. Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of the Company’s underwriting operations and allows management to evaluate the Company’s underwriting performance without regard to investment income, IPO-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, noncash stock compensation, interest expense, other revenue and other income and expenses. The Company uses this metric because the Company believes it gives management and other users of the Company’s financial information useful insight into the Company’s underwriting business performance by adjusting for these expenses and sources of income. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.

Adjusted net income
The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding the impact of certain items, including the consummation of the reorganization transactions in connection with the IPO, noncash intangible asset amortization and stock compensation, unrealized losses on embedded derivatives, other expenses and gains or losses that the Company believes do not reflect its core operating performance, which items may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, affecting comparability the Company’s results across periods. The Company calculates the tax impact only on adjustments that would be included in calculating the Company’s income tax expense using the effective tax rate at the end of each period. The Company uses adjusted net income as an internal performance measure in the management of its operations because the Company believes it gives its management and other users of its financial information useful insight into the Company’s results of operations and underlying business performance by eliminating the effects of these items. Adjusted net income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently.
