Management Commentary
Chief Executive Officer Katherine Antonello commented: “Our third quarter results are a testament to the transformational changes we are making at Employers. Wage increases, a continued strong labor market for our target businesses and our disciplined appetite expansion each contributed to higher new and renewal premiums. As a result, we ended the quarter with more than 126,000 policies in-force, a record level representing increases in each of the last thirteen consecutive quarters.
We have maintained our current accident year loss and LAE ratio on voluntary business throughout the year at 63.3%, below the 64.0% we maintained throughout 2022. As was the case in the third quarter of 2022, we did not recognize any prior year loss reserve development this quarter because: (i) a full actuarial study was not performed; and (ii) the amount of indicated net prior year loss reserve development was consistent with our expectations. We will evaluate our prior year reserves in more detail at year-end when we routinely perform a full reserve study.
Our total underwriting expenses (consisting of our commissions, underwriting and general and administrative expenses) of $70.2 million this quarter were up $3.0 million, or 4% from a year ago. The increase was largely driven by an increase in our variable expenses (those that fluctuate with our premium volume) and higher 2023 agency incentive accruals, which are specific to individual contracts and vary with agency growth and profitability. We remain confident that we can further reduce our total underwriting expenses, as a percentage of our earned premiums, in 2024.
We continue to actively return capital to our stockholders. Our capital management efforts this quarter consisted of $14.4 million of share repurchases and $7.3 million of regular quarterly dividends, and our efforts year-to-date consisted of $61.6 million of share repurchases and $22.0 million of regular quarterly dividends. These actions reflect our strong balance sheet, abundant underwriting capital and confidence in the Company’s future operations.”
Summary of Third Quarter 2023 Results
(All comparisons vs. the third quarter of 2022, unless noted otherwise).
Gross premiums written were $196.2 million, an increase of 4%. The increase was primarily due to higher new and renewal business writings. Net premiums earned were $184.6 million, an increase of 3%.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $114.9 million, an increase of 2%. The increase was primarily due to higher earned premiums.
Commission expenses were $26.7 million versus $25.3 million, an increase of 6%. The increase was primarily due to higher earned premiums and higher 2023 agency incentive accruals.
Underwriting and general and administrative expenses were $43.5 million, an increase of 4%. The increase was primarily due to higher: (i) payroll-related expenses; and (ii) policyholder dividends and bad debt expenses, with each resulting from the increase in earned premiums.
Net investment income was $25.9 million, an increase of 9%. The increase was due to higher bond yields, partially offset by lower 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 $(7.1) million versus $1.9 million.
Income tax expense was $3.4 million (19.5% effective rate) versus $4.7 million (19.7% 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 $39.63 increased by 4.6% during the first nine months of 2023, computed after taking into account dividends declared. This measure was unfavorably impacted by $20.0 million of after tax unrealized losses arising from fixed maturity securities (which are reflected on the balance sheet) and was favorably impacted by $11.0 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 $45.72 increased by 6.3% during the first nine months 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP
The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the Financial Supplement that is attached to this press release and is available on our website.
Within this earnings release we present various financial measures, some of which are “Non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G pursuant to Section 401 of the Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002. 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. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.

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.
