Allied World Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, AG (NYSE: AWH) today reported net income of $80.3 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017 compared to net income of $74.1 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016.

The company reported operating income of $47.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017, compared to operating income of $59.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016.

President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Carmilani commented, "Despite a challenging market environment, I am pleased with our ability to produce an annualized net income return on average shareholder's equity of 8.9% this quarter, while growing diluted book value per share by 2.8% from year-end 2016. Additionally, we have made great strides within the Global Markets Insurance segment, which generated a 14.4 percentage point improvement over the prior year period, as we are beginning to reap the benefits of the strategic re-underwriting of this segment. Looking ahead, I feel we are well positioned for continued growth in our core specialty businesses."

First Quarter Operating Results

  • Gross premiums written were $860.9 million, a 0.3% decrease compared to $863.5 million for the first quarter of 2016. This was driven by growth in the North American Insurance segment, partially offset by a decline in the Reinsurance segment.
    • The North American Insurance segment grew by 4.6%, led by growth across programs, excess casualty and environmental businesses, offset in part by declines in professional lines, healthcare and property businesses.
    • The Global Markets Insurance segment was essentially flat this quarter as growth across European businesses was offset by a reduction in the Asia Pacific region.
    • The Reinsurance segment decreased by 5.6%, driven largely by the reduction in property catastrophe risk as well as the non-renewal of certain other property and casualty treaties.
  • During the quarter, the company experienced $11.0 million in catastrophe losses, or 2.0 percentage points on the loss and loss expense ratio, related to Cyclone Debbie, compared to no reportable catastrophe losses in prior year quarter. Of the $11 million, $7.5 million was recorded in the Reinsurance segment and $3.5 million was recorded in the Global Markets Insurance segment.
  • The combined ratio was 99.2% compared to 96.0% for the first quarter of 2016.
  • The loss and loss expense ratio was 65.9% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 64.2% for the prior year quarter. During the first quarter of 2017, the company recorded net favorable reserve development on prior loss years of $1.7 million, compared to $25.4 million a year ago. In the prior year quarter, the company benefited from significant favorable development in the Reinsurance segment. In the current quarter, adverse development in the North American Insurance segment was offset by favorable development in both the Global Markets Insurance segment and the Reinsurance segment.
  • The company's expense ratio was 33.3% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 31.8% for the first quarter of 2016. The increase was largely driven by higher general and administrative expenses due to an increase in year-end incentive and stock compensation costs. This was partially offset by lower acquisition costs across all three segments.

Investment Results

  • The total financial statement return on the company's investment portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 1.0% compared to 0.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
  • Net investment income decreased 1.8% in the quarter compared to the prior year quarter, driven by a shift in allocations within fixed maturity assets.
  • The table below shows the components of the investment returns:
(Expressed in millions of U.S. dollars,   Three Months Ended March 31,
except percentages) 2017   2016
Net investment income   $52.3     $53.3
Net realized investment gains   40.7     18.9
Total financial statement portfolio return   $93.0     $72.1
 
Average invested assets $8,890.4 $9,299.1
Financial statement portfolio return   1.0 %     0.8 %

Note: Net investment income, realized gains and unrealized gains are disclosed on a pre-tax basis.

Shareholders' Equity

  • As of March 31, 2017, total shareholders' equity was $3,638.4 million, compared to $3,551.9 million as of December 31, 2016.
  • As of March 31, 2017, diluted book value per share was $40.59, an increase of 2.8% compared to $39.52 as of December 31, 2016.
  • As of March 31, 2017, diluted tangible book value per share was $35.13, an increase of 3.3% compared to $34.01 as of December 31, 2016.
  • Annualized net income return on average shareholders' equity was 8.9% for the quarter, compared to 7.2% for the full year 2016.

Conference Call

Given the pending acquisition by Fairfax, Allied World will not host a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2017 results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting the company's results, management has included and discussed in this press release certain non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the company's results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the company's business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

"Operating income" is an internal performance measure used in the management of the company's operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, net realized investment gains or losses, net foreign exchange gain or loss, and other non-recurring items. The company excludes net realized investment gains or losses, net foreign exchange gain or loss, and other non-recurring items from the calculation of operating income because these amounts are heavily influenced by and fluctuate in part according to the availability of market opportunities and other factors. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the company believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of the company's financial information to more easily analyze our results of operations and underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.

"Annualized return on average shareholders' equity" ("ROAE") and "average tangible shareholders' equity" ("ROATE") is calculated using average shareholders’ equity, excluding the average after tax unrealized gains (losses) on investments and currency translation adjustment gains (losses). Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are primarily the result of interest rate and credit spread movements and the resultant impact on fixed income securities. These gains (losses) are not related to management actions or operational performance, nor are they likely to be realized. Therefore, the company believes that excluding these gains (losses) provides a more consistent and useful measurement of operating performance, which supplements U.S. GAAP information. In calculating ROAE, the net income (loss) available to shareholders for the period is multiplied by the number of such periods in a calendar year in order to arrive at annualized net income (loss) available to shareholders. The ROATE is the same calculation but reduces shareholders' equity for goodwill and intangible assets. The company presents ROAE and ROATE as measures that are commonly recognized as standards of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information.

"Annualized operating return on average shareholders' equity" is calculated using operating income (as defined above and annualized in the manner described for net income (loss) available to shareholders under ROAE above), and average shareholders' equity, excluding the average after tax unrealized gains (losses) on investments or currency translation adjustment gains (losses). The ROATE is the same calculation but reduces shareholders' equity for goodwill and intangible assets. Unrealized gains (losses) are excluded from equity for the reasons outlined in the annualized return on average shareholders' equity explanation above.

The company has included "tangible shareholders' equity", which is total shareholders' equity excluding goodwill and intangible assets, because it represents a more liquid measure of the company's net assets than total shareholders' equity. The company also has included "diluted book value per share" because it takes into account the effect of dilutive securities; therefore, the company believes it is an important measure of calculating shareholder returns.

Reconciliations of these financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included in the attached tables.
