ProSight Global, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ProSight Global, Inc. PROS ("ProSight") today reported results for the second quarter of 2019.

(PRNewsfoto/ProSight Global, Inc.)

Highlights for the second quarter and year to date of 2019 include:

  • Gross written premiums ("GWP") for ongoing niches(3) increased 10.8%, to $229.7 million, as compared to the second quarter of 2018, with growth in GWP across all customer segments.
  • The combined ratio was 98.1% for the second quarter of 2019.
  • Net investment income increased 11.9% to $17.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2018.
  • Fully diluted book value per share (1) grew by 17.7% to $11.63, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
  • The annualized operating return on equity was 7.9% for the second quarter of 2019 and 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and the annualized adjusted operating return on equity (4) was 12.8% for the second quarter of 2019 and 13.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
  • Subsequent to the quarter, on July 25, 2019 ProSight's shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol PROS and on July 29, 2019, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering.

From ProSight CEO Larry Hannon:

"Our second quarter results continue to reflect the strong underwriting profit and growth capabilities of our specialty niche portfolio.  Additionally, I am extremely proud of our employees and our distribution partners for their hard work and dedication, culminating in our recent listing on the New York Stock Exchange.  We are poised to continue to provide long term value to our customers and our shareholders as a publicly traded company."

Net income from continuing operations was $8.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share(1), for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $14.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share(1), for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in net income primarily resulted from an increase in other expenses of $7.2 million, due to costs associated with the transition of our former Chief Executive Officer, partially offset by an increase in net investment income of $1.9 million.  Adjusted operating income(2) was $14.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share(1) for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $14.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share(1), for the second quarter of 2018.

Total ongoing GWP (3) were $229.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $207.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 10.8%.  Ongoing GWP (3) growth was driven by strong growth within the Consumer Services (+33.5%), Construction (+22.2%), and Marine and Energy (+10.1%) customer segments.  Other GWP(3) were $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, the decrease driven by the exit from the excess workers compensation niche.  GWP including Other(3), increased 5.6% for the second quarter of 2019 when compared to the second quarter of 2018.  

Underwriting income (2) was $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2018.  The combined ratio for the second quarter of 2019 was 98.1%, compared to 97.2% for the second quarter of 2018.  The increase in the combined ratio was due to an increase in the loss and loss adjustment expense ("LAE") ratio, partially offset by a decrease in the expense ratio, as discussed below:

  • The loss and LAE ratio was 62.8% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 60.0% for the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the effect of the Whole Account Quota Share (the "WAQS"), the adjusted loss and LAE ratio (6) was 61.7% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 59.9% for the second quarter of 2018. The second quarter of 2019 included favorable prior period reserve development of $2.7 million (1.3 percentage points) compared to $1.3 million (0.8 percentage points) of favorable prior period reserve development in the second quarter of 2018. Catastrophe losses were $3.0 million (1.5 percentage points) in the second quarter of 2019, compared to no catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2018.
  • The expense ratio was 35.3% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 37.2% in the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the effect of the WAQS, the adjusted expense ratio(6) was 36.4% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 37.3% in the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the WAQS, the policy acquisition expense ratio was 23.6% in the second quarter of 2019, compared to 23.8% in the second quarter of 2018 and general & administrative expense ratio was 12.8% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 13.5% in the second quarter of 2018.

Net investment income increased by 11.9% to $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, from $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2018.  The increase in net investment income was driven by an increase in the size of the investment portfolio.  Total cash and invested assets were $2.1 billion at June 30, 2019, growth of 16.7%, from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2018.  The net annualized yield on total cash and investments was 3.5% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 3.7% for the second quarter of 2018.  Realized investment gains for the second quarter of 2019 were $0.1 million, compared to realized investment gains of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Total stockholders' equity was $459.0 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $389.8 million as of December 31, 2018.  Tangible stockholders' equity (5) was $429.7 million as of June 30, 2019, compared $360.6 million as of December 31, 2018. The increases in total stockholders' equity and tangible stockholders' equity were driven by net income produced for the six months ended June 30, 2019, coupled with a meaningful increase in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") of $51.2 million

Fully diluted book value per share (1) grew by 17.7% to $11.63 at June 30, 2019, compared to $9.88 at December 31, 2018. Fully diluted tangible book value per share (1) (5) increased by 19.1% to $10.89 at June 30, 2019, compared to $9.14 at December 31, 2018. 

(1). All per share amounts have been restated to give effect to the reorganization of ProSight on July 25, 2019 (see "Reorganization") but the information shown here does not reflect the $51.6 million of net proceeds received by ProSight in its Initial Public Offering completed on July 29, 2019.

(2). Adjusted Operating Income and Underwriting Income are non-GAAP measures. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures".

(3). Total GWP for the second quarter of 2019 including Other were $235.0 million. Total GWP for the six months ended June 30, 2019 including Other were $490.9 million. Other includes GWP from certain niches that are no longer part of our ongoing business. All GWP from exited niches are included in "Other" which consists of (i) primary and excess workers' compensation coverage for Self-Insured Groups (ii) niches exited prior to 2018, many with a concentration in commercial auto, (iii) fronting arrangements in which all premium written is ceded to a third party, (iv) participation in industry pools, and (v) emerging new business customer segments.

(4). Adjusted operating return on equity is a non-GAAP measure   Adjusted operating return on equity is adjusted operating income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders' equity during the period.

(5). Tangible stockholders' equity and fully diluted tangible book value per share are non-GAAP measures. Tangible stockholders' equity is total common stockholders' equity excluding the value of goodwill and other intangible assets.  Fully diluted tangible book value per share is total common stockholders' equity excluding the after-tax value of goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the number of common shares outstanding, unvested restricted shares, and vested not issued shares. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures".

(6). Adjusted loss and LAE ratio and adjusted expense ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We define adjusted loss and LAE ratio and adjusted expense ratio  as the corresponding ratio (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding the effects of the WAQS. We use these adjusted ratios as internal performance measures in the management of our operations because we believe they give our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Our adjusted loss and LAE ratio and adjusted expense ratio should not be viewed as substitutes for our loss and LAE ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio, respectively.

These non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies.

(3). Adjusted loss and LAE ratio, adjusted expense ratio and adjusted combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. We define adjusted loss and LAE ratio, adjusted expense ratio and adjusted combined ratio as the corresponding ratio (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding the effects of the WAQS. We use these adjusted ratios as internal performance measures in the management of our operations because we believe they give our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Our adjusted loss and LAE ratio, adjusted expense ratio and adjusted combined ratio should not be viewed as substitutes for our loss and LAE ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1). Underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful in evaluating our underwriting performance without regard to investment income. Underwriting income represents the pre-tax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting losses and LAE and underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses from net earned premiums. We use underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives us and users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may calculate underwriting income differently.

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 reconciles to underwriting income as follows:

(2). Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use 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 underlying business performance, by excluding items that are not part of our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future. Adjusted operating income should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for our net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate adjusted operating income differently.

Adjusted operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 reconciles to net income as follows:

(3). Tangible stockholders' equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define tangible stockholders' equity as stockholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Our definition of tangible stockholders' equity may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for stockholders' equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible stockholders' equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure.

Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 reconciles to tangible stockholders' equity as follows:
