(the “Company”) (NYSE:EIG), a holding company with subsidiaries that are specialty providers of workers' compensation insurance and services focused on select, small businesses engaged in low-to-medium hazard industries, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

  • Returned $43.1 million to stockholders through a combination of stock repurchases and regular quarterly dividends.

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Katherine Antonello commented: “Our excellent second quarter results are a testament to the transformational changes we are making at Employers. Wage increases, a strong labor market and our new sales and underwriting operating model contributed to higher new and renewal premiums and an increase in final audit premiums. Together with strong net investment income and continued net investment gains, revenue increased 59% year-over-year.

Our mid-year full reserve study led to the recognition of $20.0 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development from our voluntary business. Those actions, coupled with our continual focus on our underwriting expenses yielded a combined ratio of 87.2% for our Employers segment, which is a terrific result. In addition, our Cerity segment, which offers digital workers' compensation insurance solutions directly to consumers, contributed nicely to our growth in premiums and strong net investment income.”

Ms. Antonello continued, “during the quarter we incurred a $9.4 million non-recurring charge in connection with the early lease termination of our former corporate headquarters in Reno, Nevada. This previously announced action was undertaken as part of an ongoing review of our facility needs and will serve to continue our meaningful reduction in underwriting expenses.

Lastly, today we declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share and announced a new $50.0 million share repurchase plan after exhausting the former plan prior to its scheduled expiration. These actions reflect our strong balance sheet, abundant underwriting capital and confidence in the Company’s future operations.”

Summary of Second Quarter 2023 Results

(All comparisons vs. the second quarter of 2022, unless noted otherwise).

Gross premiums written were $198.4 million, an increase of 11%. The increase was primarily due to higher new and renewal business writings and an increase in final audit premiums. Net premiums earned were $177.1 million, an increase of 7%.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $90.5 million, a decrease of 3%. The decrease was attributable to: (i) an increase in net favorable prior accident year loss reserve development recognized; partially offset by (ii) higher earned premiums. The Company recognized $19.7 million of favorable development during the quarter versus $10.0 million of favorable development recognized a year ago.

Commission expenses were $23.6 million versus $23.7 million a year ago.

Underwriting and general and administrative expenses were $46.0 million, an increase of 17%. The increase resulted primarily from higher: (i) payroll-related expenses; and (ii) policyholder dividends and bad debt expenses resulting from the increase in earned premium.

Net investment income was $26.8 million, an increase of 34%. The increase was due to higher bond yields and higher invested balances of fixed maturity securities and short-term investments, as measured by amortized cost.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments reflected on the income statement were $11.3 million versus $(50.1) million.

Other expenses of $9.4 million consisted of a non-recurring charge in connection with the early lease termination of our former corporate headquarters in Reno, Nevada.

Income tax expense (benefit) was $8.9 million (20.3% effective rate) versus $(5.8) million (27.1% effective rate). The effective rates during each of the periods presented included income tax benefits and exclusions associated with tax-advantaged investment income, LPT adjustments, and deferred gain amortization.

The Company’s book value per share including the deferred gain of $40.41 increased by 5.9% during the first half of 2023, computed after taking into account dividends declared. This measure was favorably impacted by $7.1 million of after-tax unrealized gains arising from fixed maturity securities (which are reflected on the balance sheet) and $15.3 million of net after tax unrealized gains arising from equity securities and other investments (which are reflected on the income statement). The Company’s adjusted book value per share of $45.41 increased by 5.0% during the first half of 2023, computed after taking into account dividends declared. This measure was favorably impacted by the net after tax unrealized gains arising from equity securities and other investments previously described.

A description of these Non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a reconciliation of such Non-GAAP measures to our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the attached Financial Supplement. Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Within this earnings release we present the following measures, each of which are "non-GAAP financial measures." A reconciliation of these measures to the Company's most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included herein. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.

The LPT Agreement is a non-recurring transaction that does not result in ongoing cash benefits to the Company. Management believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of the LPT Agreement (amortization of deferred reinsurance gain, adjustments to LPT Agreement ceded reserves and adjustments to contingent commission receivable) is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing underwriting performance.

Deferred reinsurance gain (Deferred Gain) reflects the unamortized gain from the LPT Agreement. This gain has been deferred and is being amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries, except for the contingent profit commission, which is being amortized through June 30, 2024. Amortization is reflected in losses and LAE incurred.

Adjusted net income (see Page 3 for calculations) is net income excluding the effects of the LPT Agreement, and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (net of tax), and any miscellaneous non-recurring transactions (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measures is helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in identifying trends in the Company's operating performance because such items have limited significance to its ongoing operations or can be impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and may not represent operating trends.

Stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain (see Page 11 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful measure of the Company's total underwriting capital.

Adjusted stockholders' equity (see Page 11 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain, less accumulated other comprehensive income (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties since it serves as the denominator to the Company's adjusted return on stockholders' equity metric.

Return on stockholders' equity and Adjusted return on stockholders' equity (see Page 8 for calculations). Management believes that these profitability measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Book value per share, Book value per share including the Deferred Gain, and Adjusted book value per share (see Page 11 for calculations). Management believes that these valuation measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Net income before impact of the LPT (see Page 3 for calculations). Management believes that these performance and underwriting measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Description of Reportable Segments

The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity. Each of these segments represents a separate and distinct distribution channel through which the Company conducts insurance business.

The nature and composition of each reportable segment and its Corporate and Other activities are as follows:

  • The Employers segment represents the traditional business offered through the EMPLOYERS brand name (Employers) through its agents, including business originated from its strategic partnerships and alliances;
  • The Cerity segment represents the as business offered under the Cerity brand name, which includes the Company's direct-to-customer business; and
  • Corporate and Other activities consist of those holding company expenses that are not considered to be underwriting in nature, the financial impact of the LPT Agreement and legacy (pre-acquisition) business assumed and ceded by Cerity Insurance Company. These expenses are not considered to be part of a reportable segment and are not otherwise allocated to a reportable segment.
