Casualty Reinsurance 57,631 44,585 29 %
$ 200,942 $ 154,687 30 %
  • The Excess and Surplus Lines segment grew due to increases in its Commercial Auto division amid a rate increase on the renewal of the Company’s largest contract, as well as 39.7% growth in core (non-Commercial Auto) lines net written premium, as nine out of twelve underwriting divisions grew, driven in part by an average rate increase of 13% across core lines;
  • The Specialty Admitted Insurance segment decreased as a result of the October 1, 2017 inception of a new third party 50% quota share reinsurance agreement on its individual risk Workers’ Compensation line, partially offset by an increase in both individual risk Workers’ Compensation and fronting premium;
  • Net written premium in the Casualty Reinsurance segment was relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter, but net earned premium increased as a result of a higher level of net written premium during 2017. The Company expects net written premium in this segment to decrease meaningfully for the full year 2018, but its net earned premium will lag given the earning patterns of the business, which can extend to 24 months;
  • Favorable reserve development of $2.6 million compared to favorable reserve development of $3.4 million in the prior year quarter (representing a 1.3 and 2.2 percentage point reduction to the Company’s loss ratio in each period, respectively), with favorable reserve development occurring in all three segments.
  • Pre-tax favorable reserve development by segment was as follows:

  • IBNR as a percentage of total net reserves increased from 65.0% as of December 31, 2017 to 65.6%;
  • Group accident year loss ratio of 72.8% was up from 70.3% in the prior year quarter due to changes in mix of business, specifically growth in the Commercial Auto division within the Excess and Surplus Lines segment which carries a higher initial loss pick but also a lower expense ratio than the segment as a whole;
  • Group combined ratio of 96.4% improved from 97.2% in the prior year quarter;
  • Group expense ratio of 24.9% improved from 29.1% in the prior year quarter, driven by increased net earned premium and fee income, as well as continued growth in lines of business which carry relatively low expenses;
  • Gross fee income of $8.2 million increased from $5.9 million in the prior year quarter;
  • Gross fee income by segment was as follows:

  • Net investment income of $13.3 million, a decrease of 20.8% from the prior year quarter. Further details can be found in the “Investment Results” section below.

Investment Results

Net investment income for the first quarter of 2018 was $13.3 million, which compares to $16.7 million for the same period in 2017. The difference was driven by exceptional performance of the Company’s renewable energy portfolio in the prior year quarter. The performance of this portfolio has varied significantly from quarter to quarter, which is expected due to the nature of the underlying investments, and its market value is generally influenced negatively by rising interest rates.

The Company’s net investment income consisted of the following:

Three Months Ended

March 31,
($ in thousands) 2018 2017 % Change
Renewable Energy Investments $ 1,211 $ 5,594 (78 )%
Other Private Investments 609 468 30 %
All Other Net Investment Income 11,436 10,671 7 %
Total Net Investment Income $ 13,256 $ 16,733 (21 )%

The Company’s annualized gross investment yield on average fixed maturity and bank loan securities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 3.4% (unchanged from the three months ended March 31, 2017) and the average duration of the fixed maturity and bank loan portfolio was 3.5 years at March 31, 2018 (unchanged from March 31, 2017). Renewable energy and other private investments produced an annualized return of 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (42.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2017).

During the first quarter, the Company recognized $810,000 of pre-tax net realized losses ($1.0 million of net realized gains in the same period in 2017), including $1.7 million of losses, gross of tax, resulting from fair value changes in the Company’s equity investment portfolio which were recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which became effective January 1, 2018 (please see “Recently Adopted Accounting Standard” below for further details).

Taxes

Generally, the Company’s effective tax rate fluctuates from period to period based on the relative mix of income reported by country and the respective tax rates imposed by each tax jurisdiction. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was 8.7% and 7.7%, respectively.

Tangible Equity

Tangible equity before dividends increased 0.1% from $474.5 million at December 31, 2017 to $474.8 million at March 31, 2018, due to $15.6 million of net income and $3.0 million related to option exercise activity and stock compensation. These items were partially offset by $18.5 million of after tax unrealized losses in the Company’s fixed income investment portfolio resulting from increased market interest rates. Tangible equity after dividends decreased 1.8% from $474.5 million at December 31, 2017 to $465.8 million at March 31, 2018. Tangible equity per common share was $15.59 at March 31, 2018, net of $0.30 of dividends per share the Company paid during the first three months of 2018. The annualized adjusted net operating income return on average tangible equity was 14.1%, which compares to 14.8% for the first quarter of 2017.

Capital Management

The Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per common share, equal to the prior quarter. This dividend is payable on Friday, June 29, 2018 to all shareholders of record on Monday, June 11, 2018. James River Group Holdings, Ltd. has paid cumulative dividends, including this upcoming payment, of $182.6 million since its December 2014 initial public offering, or 39.1% of its tangible equity at initial public offering.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this new accounting standard, equity investments are now required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For the first quarter of 2018, the Company recognized $1.7 million of losses, gross of tax, as a result of the adoption of this accounting standard. These losses were a component of the Company’s net realized and unrealized losses for the quarter, and as such were excluded from the Company’s net operating income. The Company’s January 1, 2018 other comprehensive income was decreased by $4.7 million and retained earnings increased by the same amount to reflect the cumulative effect of this accounting standard on prior periods.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, such forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, expect, seek, may, will, intend, project, anticipate, plan, estimate, guidance or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following: the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves and the possibility that incurred losses may be greater than our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves; inaccurate estimates and judgments in our risk management which may expose us to greater risks than intended; the potential loss of key members of our management team or key employees and our ability to attract and retain personnel; adverse economic factors resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in frequency or severity of claims, or both; a decline in our financial strength rating resulting in a reduction of new or renewal business; reliance on a select group of brokers and agents for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships; reliance on a select group of customers for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships; a failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we utilize to shield us from unanticipated financial losses or legal exposures, or other liabilities; losses from catastrophic events which substantially exceed our expectations and/or exceed the amount of reinsurance we have purchased to protect us from such events; potential effects on our business of emerging claim and coverage issues; exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk and other market risk in our investment portfolio; changes in laws or government regulation, including tax or insurance law and regulations; our ability to obtain reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk and adequately protect our company against financial loss; losses resulting from reinsurance counterparties failing to pay us on reinsurance claims or insurance companies with whom we have a fronting arrangement failing to pay us for claims; the potential impact of internal or external fraud, operational errors, systems malfunctions or cyber security incidents; our ability to manage our growth effectively; inadequacy of premiums we charge to compensate us for our losses incurred; the recently enacted Public Law No. 115-97, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, may have a significant effect on us including, among other things, by potentially increasing our tax rate, as well as on our shareholders; in the event we do not qualify for the insurance company exception to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules and are therefore considered a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation; the Company or any of its foreign subsidiaries becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation; failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; and changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, is contained in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting James River Group Holdings, Ltd.’s results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Such measures, including underwriting profit, adjusted net operating income, tangible equity, adjusted net operating return on average tangible equity, and pre-dividend tangible equity per share, are referred to as non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are included at the end of this press release.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Underwriting Profit

The following table reconciles the underwriting profit (loss) by individual operating segment and for the entire Company to consolidated income before taxes. We believe that these measures are useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our Company and its operating segments because our objective is to consistently earn underwriting profits. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments and allocate resources based primarily on underwriting profit (loss) of operating segments. Our definition of underwriting profit (loss) of operating segments and underwriting profit (loss) may not be comparable to that of other companies.

(b) 2018 includes net realized gains on investment sales of $0.9 million, reduced by a change in unrealized losses on equity securities of $1.7 million. The change in unrealized losses on equity securities resulted from the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-01, effective January 1, 2018.

Adjusted Net Operating Income

We define adjusted net operating income as net income excluding net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments (net realized investment (losses) gains and the change in unrealized (losses) gains on equity securities per the adoption of ASU 2016-01), as well as non-operating expenses including those that relate to due diligence costs for various merger and acquisition activities, professional fees related to the filing of a registration statement for the sale of our securities, and costs associated with former employees. We use adjusted net operating income 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 our underlying business performance. Adjusted net operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and our definition of adjusted net operating income may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Our income before taxes and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, reconciles to our adjusted net operating income as follows:

Tangible Equity (per Share) and Pre-Dividend Tangible Equity (per Share)

Our definition of tangible equity may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for shareholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure. The following table reconciles shareholders’ equity to tangible equity for March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2017 and reconciles tangible equity to tangible equity before dividends for March 31, 2018.
