First Quarter 2023 Summary

Adjusted return on average equity was 12.9% for the quarter, with the year-over-year comparison impacted by the investment in Fortegra in June 2022 from Warburg Pincus.

- Gross written premiums and premium equivalents of $750.3 million, increased 24.9% for the quarter driven by growth in U.S. specialty insurance lines and services businesses in U.S. and Europe.
- Unearned premiums and deferred revenues grew to $2.1 billion, up $319.6 million, or 18.3%, from Q1’22.
- Revenues increased 30.4% for the quarter driven by premium growth in specialty E&S and admitted lines, and services businesses in the U.S. and Europe. Excluding the impact of investment gains and losses, revenues increased by 29.0% from Q1’22.
- The combined ratio for the quarter was 91.3%, compared to 90.5% in Q1'22, driven by consistent underwriting performance and the scalability of Fortegra’s operating platform.
- Income before taxes for the quarter was $19.4 million, up $4.8 million. Return on equity of 16.7%, compared to 14.7% in Q1'22. The increases were driven by growth in underwriting and fee revenues and increased net investment income.
- Adjusted net income for the quarter was $22.9 million, up 8.6% from Q1'22 with the improvement driven by revenue growth. Adjusted return on average equity was 26.1%, compared to 28.2% in Q1’22.

- Tiptree Capital loss before taxes was $1.1 million compared to loss of $3.4 million in Q1’22, driven by a reduction in unrealized investment losses, partially offset by declines in mortgage operations and the sale of five vessels in 2022.
- Mortgage loss before taxes was $2.6 million, as compared to income of $4.3 million in Q1'22, with the decrease driven by declines in origination volumes and negative marks on the MSR asset in 2023 compared to positive marks in 2022.
- Total Tiptree Capital book value, including corporate net assets, was $220.5 million as of Q1’23.
Corporate:
Corporate includes expenses of the holding company for interest expense, employee compensation and benefits, audit and professional fees, and public company and other expenses. For the quarter, corporate expenses were $10.1 million compared to $12.2 million in Q1'22. The decrease was driven by lower interest expense as we repaid our corporate holding company borrowings in June 2022.
Non-GAAP
Management uses Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity as measurements of operating performance. Management believes these measures provide supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance and comparison among companies. Management uses Adjusted net income and adjusted return on average equity as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital. Adjusted net income represents income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses), and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity are presented before the impacts of non-controlling interests. Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of these measures to their GAAP equivalents.

Tiptree Inc.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on average equity
The Company defines Adjusted net income as income before taxes, less provision (benefit) for income taxes, and excluding the after-tax impact of various expenses that we consider to be unique and non-recurring in nature, including merger and acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and intangibles amortization associated with purchase accounting. We use adjusted net income as an internal operating performance measure in the management of business as part of our capital allocation process. We believe adjusted net income provides useful supplemental information to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance between periods and for comparison among companies. Adjusted net income should not be viewed as a substitute for income before taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted net income differently. Adjusted net income is presented before the impacts of non-controlling interests.
We define Adjusted return on average equity as Adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholder’s equity during the period. We use Adjusted return on average equity 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 return on average equity should not be viewed as a substitute for return on average equity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define adjusted return on average equity differently.
