IGI President & CEO Mr. Waleed Jabsheh said, “We had another strong quarter resulting in an excellent first half of 2024. In spite of a more active loss environment during the second quarter, most notably in our property and offshore energy books, we posted healthy underwriting results, highlighted by combined ratios of 81.2% and 77.7% for the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively - both well below our long-term averages.”

 

“Market conditions continue to be mixed with opportunities for growth in certain segments relatively harder to come by. This is exactly the type of environment where risk selection and discipline are critical and where we can continue to demonstrate the value of our underwriting strategy and the benefits of our growing and diversified portfolio.”

 

“We continue to deliver strong ROEs and generate steady growth in book value per share through our underwriting and investment results, as well as through our active capital management, underscoring our commitment to generating long-term shareholder value. Consistent and sustainable value creation is central to everything we do at IGI.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In presenting IGI’s financial results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help to explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

*The CAT losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 are primarily attributable to $8.0 million of reserves recorded for the earthquake in Taiwan (in the Short-tail and Reinsurance Segments) and flooding in United Arab Emirates and Oman (in all segments), both of which occurred in April 2024, and a general CAT load of $4.9 million.

 

The CAT losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 are primarily attributable to $4.0 million of reserves recorded for the earthquake in Turkey (in the Reinsurance Segment) and flooding in New Zealand from Cyclone Gabrielle (in the Short-tail Segment), both of which occurred in February 2023, and a general CAT load of $3.9 million.

 

The CAT losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are primarily attributable to $8.0 million of reserves recorded for the earthquake in Taiwan (in the Short-tail and Reinsurance segments) and flooding in United Arab Emirates and Oman (in all segments), and a general CAT load of $15.3 million

 

The CAT losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are primarily attributable to $12.4 million of reserves recorded for the earthquake in Turkey (in the Reinsurance Segment) and flooding in New Zealand from Cyclone Gabrielle (in the Short-tail Segment), and a general CAT load of $9.6 million.

Core Operating Income

 

Core operating income measures the performance of our operations without the influence of after-tax gains or losses on investments and foreign currencies and other items as noted in the table below. We exclude these items from our calculation of core operating income because the amounts of these gains and losses are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, economic and other factors external to the Company and/or transactions or events that are typically not a recurring part of, and are largely independent of, our core underwriting activities and including them distorts the analysis of trends in our operations. We believe the reporting of core operating income enhances an understanding of our results by highlighting the underlying profitability of our core insurance operations. Our underwriting profitability is impacted by earned premiums, the adequacy of pricing, and the frequency and severity of losses. Over time, such profitability is also influenced by underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage the Company’s exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, IGI’s management of claims, use of reinsurance and the ability to manage the expense ratio, which the Company accomplishes through the management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses.

 

In addition to presenting net income for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that showing “core operating income” provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to analyze the Company’s results in a similar manner to the way in which Management analyzes the Company’s underlying business performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Core operating income is calculated by the addition or subtraction of certain line items reported in the “Consolidated Statements of Income” from net income for the period and tax effecting each line item (resulting in each item being a non-GAAP measure), as illustrated in the table below:

 

   Quarter Ended
June 30,
   Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
(in millions of U.S. Dollars, except for percentages and per share data)  2024   2023   2024   2023 
Net income for the period  $32.8   $40.5   $70.7   $74.4 
Reconciling items between net income for the period and core operating income:                    
Net realized (gain) loss on investments  $(0.1)  $0.1   $(0.1)   - 
Net unrealized gain on investments (tax adjusted) (i)  $(0.5)  $(4.5)  $(3.9)  $(7.8)
Change in allowance for expected credit losses on investments  $0.3   $(0.3)  $0.1   $(0.4)
Change in fair value of derivative financial liabilities  $1.1   $3.3   $3.2   $3.4 
Net foreign exchange loss (gain) (tax adjusted) (i)  $(0.4)  $(1.0)  $3.3   $(2.1)
Core operating income  $33.2   $38.1   $73.3   $67.5 
Average shareholders’ equity (ii)  $572.7   $448.5   $564.3   $438.9 
Core operating return on average equity (annualized) (ii) and (v)   23.2%   34.0%   26.0%   30.8%
Diluted core operating earnings per share (iv)  $0.74   $0.83   $1.61   $1.44 
Return on average equity (annualized) (v)   22.9%   36.1%   25.1%   33.9%

 

i.Represents a non-GAAP financial measure as line-item balances have been adjusted for the related tax impact.

 

ii.Represents the total shareholders’ equity at the reporting period end plus the total shareholders’ equity as of the beginning of the reporting period, divided by 2.

 

iii.Represents annualized core operating income for the period divided by average shareholders’ equity.

 

iv.Represents core operating income attributable to vested equity holders divided by weighted average number of vested common shares – diluted as follows:

 

   Quarter Ended
June 30,
   Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
(in millions of U.S. Dollars, except per share information)  2024   2023   2024   2023 
Core operating income for the period  $33.2   $38.1   $73.3   $67.5 
Minus: Core operating income attributable to earnout shares  $0.6   $2.5   $1.1   $4.3 
Minus: Dividends attributable to restricted share awards   -    -   $0.5    - 
Core operating income available to common shareholders (a)  $32.6   $35.6   $71.7   $63.2 
Weighted average number of shares – diluted (in millions of shares) (b)   44.0    43.1    44.5    43.8 
Diluted core operating earnings per share (a/b)  $0.74   $0.83   $1.61   $1.44 

 

v.Return on average equity (annualized) and core operating return on average equity (annualized), both non-GAAP financial measures, represent the returns generated on common shareholders’ equity during the period.

The expectations, estimates, and projections of the business of IGI may differ from its actual results and, consequently, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “commitment,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release may include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, the outcome of our strategic initiatives, our expectations regarding pricing and other market conditions, and our growth prospects. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of IGI and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in demand for IGI’s services together with the possibility that IGI may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors globally and in the regions in which it operates; (2) competition, the ability of IGI to grow and manage growth profitably and IGI’s ability to retain its key employees; (3) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (4) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company; (5) the effects of the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom and others; (6) the effects of the war between Israel and Hamas; (7) the inability to maintain the listing of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq; and (8) other risks and uncertainties indicated in IGI’s filings with the SEC. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. In addition, forward-looking statements are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them and are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of IGI.
