Management Commentary
“Our concern about the broad loss trends in healthcare professional
liability continues to have a major impact on operating results, and
this increasing severity will likely affect our results for the
foreseeable future. Our view of these trends influences our current
accident year loss picks, which continue to rise, and leads us to
increased caution in our analysis of prior period reserves, both of
which have a significant impact on the operating results of our largest
operating segment, Specialty P&C. We make no apology for taking the
actions needed to protect our balance sheet, no matter the short-term
impact. This is consistent with our long-term strategy and the long tail
nature of our business. As has historically been the case the caution we
take in establishing our reserves allows us to focus on our future
without undue concerns about past liabilities, something that will be
especially important as Mike Boguski and his team bring together all of
our Specialty P&C operations under unified leadership. All of this
overshadows several positive aspects of the quarter, including higher
renewal pricing, solid retention of existing business, continued
profitability in our Workers’ Compensation Insurance segment, and a
recovery of the majority of last quarter’s mark-to-market losses in our
equity trading portfolio resulting in a quarter-over-quarter increase in
net income,” said Stan Starnes, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of ProAssurance.
First Quarter 2019
-
Consolidated gross premiums written were $280 million, an increase of
$36.8 million, or 15.1% over the first quarter of 2018. In our Lloyd’s
Syndicates segment, gross premiums written were $23.6 million, an
increase of $11.2 million or 90.8%, quarter-over-quarter. Gross
premiums written in our Specialty P&C segment were $166.4 million, an
increase of $25.9 million or 18.4% quarter-over-quarter. In our
Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment, gross premiums written
were $36.4 million, an increase of $4.0 million or 12.4% over 2018’s
first quarter. Gross premiums written in our Workers’ Compensation
Insurance segment were $89.4 million, a decline of $2.3 million or
2.5% from last year’s first quarter. -
Net premiums earned increased $21.0 million, or 11.2%
quarter-over-quarter. Net premiums earned in our Specialty P&C segment
were $124.1 million, an increase of 7.9% over the first quarter of
2018. In our Workers’ Compensation Insurance segment, net earned
premiums were $45.9 million, up 7.6% compared to the year-ago quarter.
In our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment, net premiums
earned were $19.5 million, a 14.5% quarter-over-quarter increase. Net
premiums earned in our Lloyd’s Syndicates segment were $18.6 million,
a quarter-over-quarter increase of 49.4%. -
Our coordinated sales & marketing programs produced $8.5 million of
business in the quarter and broker submissions increased 15.6% over
the first quarter of 2018. -
Our consolidated current accident year net loss ratio was 81.7%,
essentially unchanged quarter-over-quarter. -
Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first quarter of
2019 was $10.3 million, compared to $22.8 million in the prior year
quarter. -
The consolidated underwriting expense ratio was 29.5%, just over a one
point decline, quarter-over-quarter, due to the increase in net
premiums earned which outpaced the increase in consolidated DPAC
amortization. -
Net realized investment gains were $36.6 million in the quarter,
primarily reflecting mark-to-market adjustments in our equity trading
portfolio. This compares to net realized investment losses of $12.5
million in the first quarter of 2018. -
Our consolidated net investment result was $22.0 million, a decline of
$1.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. The decline in our
consolidated net investment result was primarily due to a $2.5 million
quarter-over-quarter decline in earnings from our unconsolidated
subsidiaries, partially offset by an increase of approximately
$800,000 in net investment income primarily attributable to higher
earnings from our short-term investment holdings due to higher
interest rates. -
We recorded tax expense of $7.0 million in the quarter, compared to a
tax benefit of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. This was
primarily driven by an increase in deferred taxes on the unrealized
gains on our trading portfolio in the quarter.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP operating income is a financial measure that is widely used to
evaluate performance within the insurance sector. In calculating
Non-GAAP operating income, we have excluded the after-tax effects of the
items listed in the following table that do not reflect normal operating
results. We believe Non-GAAP operating income presents a useful view of
the performance of our insurance operations; however, it should be
considered in conjunction with net income computed in accordance with
GAAP. The following table reconciles net income (loss) to Non-GAAP
operating income:

|
(1) Net realized investment gains (losses) on investments related to SPCs are recognized in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment and the portion of operating earnings, including the gain or loss, net of our participation, is due to the external cell participants through the SPC dividend expense (income). To be consistent with our exclusion of net realized investment gains (losses) recognized in earnings, we are excluding the portion of net realized investment gains (losses) that is included in the SPC dividend expense (income) which is due to the external cell participants. |
||||||||
|
(2) The 21% rate is the annual expected statutory tax rate associated with the taxable or tax deductible items listed above. Excluding net realized investment (gains) losses, which are discrete items and are tax effected at the annual expected statutory tax rate in the period they are included in net income, our effective tax rate for the respective periods was applied to these items in calculating net income. See further discussion under the heading “Taxes” in the Executive Summary of Operations section of our March 31, 2019 Form 10-Q expected to be filed by May 2, 2019. |

Gross premiums written in the Specialty P&C segment were $166.4 million,
an 18.4% increase from first quarter 2018. Compared to last year’s first
quarter, twelve month term physician premiums increased $19.9 million
which reflected timing differences of $6.8 million related to a few
large policies that shifted their 2018 renewal dates to the first
quarter of 2019. Excluding the effect of these timing differences,
twelve month term policies increased $13.1 million as compared to the
first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to new business
written and an increase in premium assumed in which we participate on a
quota share basis. The growth in our twelve month term policies was
partially offset by a decline in twenty-four month term policies of $1.6
million which reflected the normal cycle of renewals. Premiums in our
healthcare facilities line grew 47.3% quarter-over-quarter, to $22.2
million. The increase in our healthcare facilities premium was driven by
new business, timing differences related to the renewal of certain
policies and an increase in renewal pricing due to changes in the loss
experience of a few large policies. New business in the first quarter of
2019 totaled $20.9 million, including $14.4 million of new physician
business and $4.3 million of new healthcare facilities business.
Our premium retention rate in physician professional liability, the
largest line in this segment, was 91% in the quarter, unchanged from the
year-ago quarter; premium retention in healthcare facilities was 71%
compared to 86% in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in retention
in our healthcare facilities line is due to the loss of a single large
policy due to price competition, which underscores the fact that
retention in the healthcare facility line can be more volatile given the
size of average premiums and competition. Renewal pricing on physician
business increased 4% quarter-over-quarter, and renewal pricing in our
healthcare facilities line was 13% higher, quarter-over-quarter.
The current accident year net loss ratio was 93.1%, an increase of
approximately three points over first quarter 2018. The increase in the
current accident year net loss ratio was primarily due to the effect of
a reduction during the first quarter of 2018 to ceded premiums owed
under reinsurance agreements for prior accident years which increased
net premiums earned during the 2018 three-month period; however, no such
adjustments were made during the 2019 three-month period. As in previous
quarters, the increase is, in part, the result of our consideration of
potential higher severity trends associated with large, more complex
risks. In addition, the increase in the current accident year net loss
ratio was due to changes in the mix of business including a higher
volume of earned premium in our excess and surplus lines of business. As
we further penetrate the facility and large group space, we are writing
a majority of these risks on an excess & surplus lines basis, and many
are booked at a higher initial loss ratio due to the uncertainty of the
ultimate loss experience.
Net favorable prior year reserve development, which is also affected by
our cautious analysis of current loss trends, was $7.9 million, compared
to $20.6 million in the year-ago quarter. While we have not seen signs
of increased severity in our paid losses, we remain concerned about
these loss trends in the broader market.

Gross premiums written in the Workers’ Compensation Insurance segment
decreased 2.5% quarter-over-quarter, to $89.4 million, primarily
reflecting decreases in new business, a decrease in audit premium and a
decline of 2% in renewal pricing, partially offset by a one-point
increase in our retention rate to 87%. New business was $7.5 million in
2019, compared to $16.6 million in 2018, and audit premium decreased 46%
to approximately $700,000. Of note, the Great Falls renewal rights
transaction accounted for $3.7 million of new business in the first
quarter of 2018, the first full quarter after the transaction, compared
to approximately $800,000 of new business in our New England region in
the first quarter of 2019. The renewal pricing declines and the decrease
in new business reflects our adherence to our underwriting and pricing
standards in a very competitive market.
Our alternative market business, which we predominately cede to the
Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment, accounted for $34.6
million of the gross premiums written in the quarter, a 6.1% increase
over the prior year period.
The calendar year net loss ratio increased from 65.2% to 66.3%,
quarter-over-quarter, due to an increase in the current accident year
net loss ratio, partially offset by an increase in net favorable prior
year reserve development. The increase in the current accident year net
loss ratio from 66.1% to 68.2% primarily reflected the effect of the
continuation of intense price competition and the resulting decline in
renewal pricing. Net favorable prior year reserve development of
approximately $900,000 in the quarter resulted from overall favorable
trends in claim closing patterns, primarily in the 2016 accident year,
and includes purchase accounting amortization of approximately $400,000.
The underwriting expense ratio increased from 30.5% to 30.9%
quarter-over-quarter, primarily reflecting the impact of the decline in
audit premium.

The Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment represents the
operating results (underwriting profit or loss, plus investment results)
of Segregated Portfolio Cells (SPCs) within Eastern Re and Inova Re, our
Cayman Islands SPC operations. The segment operating results of $1.4
million represent our share of the results of segregated portfolio cell
programs in which we participate to a varying degree.
Gross written premiums increased 12.4% quarter-over-quarter, to $36.4
million, primarily reflecting a six-point increase in the workers’
compensation renewal retention rate to 97% and an increase in audit
premium, partially offset by a decrease in new business and a decline of
2% in renewal pricing. The renewal pricing declines and decrease in new
business reflect the competitive worker’s compensation pricing
environment. The majority of the gross written premium in the quarter,
$32.1 million, related to workers’ compensation, while the remainder was
primarily from healthcare professional liability. We retained all 10 of
the available alternative market programs, including nine workers’
compensation programs and one healthcare professional liability program
up for renewal during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The current accident year net loss ratio decreased slightly from 67.2%
to 66.7%, which primarily reflected a decline in severity-related claim
activity, partially offset by the effect of the continuation of intense
price competition and the resulting renewal pricing decreases.
The favorable trends in prior accident year claim closing patterns,
particularly in accident years 2015-2017, resulted in net favorable
prior year reserve development of approximately $2.3 million, compared
to $1.5 million in the year-ago quarter.
The underwriting expense ratio in the Segregated Portfolio Cell
Reinsurance segment primarily reflects the ceding commission percentage
paid to the Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Specialty P&C segments
for insurance services provided to the segregated portfolio cell
programs. The ceding commissions are primarily reflected in the
respective segments as a reduction to underwriting expenses.
