Results of Operations

The Company realized net income of $7.7 million and $23.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and realized net income (loss) of $19.5 million and ($3.2) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Excluding the net gain related to the sale of the Company’s Farm, Ranch, & Stable renewal rights, net income (loss) (1) would have been $7.3 million and ($19.6) million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net investment income increased by $5.8 million and $22.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022.

This significant increase in investment income is the result of

actions taken to reposition the investment portfolio in early 2022.

Book yield for the fixed income investment portfolio was 4.0% at September 30, 2023 compared to 2.2% at December 31, 2021.

The Continuing Lines accident year underwriting income (2) was $2.7 million and $9.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and the accident year combined ratio (2) was 97.8% and 97.6% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s results for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

The Company realized net income of $11.4 million and $2.5 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net investment income increased by $2.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

This increase in net investment income was primarily due to strategies employed by the Company to take advantage of rising interest rates which resulted in a 19% increase in book yield on the fixed maturities portfolio to 4.3% at March 31, 2024 from 3.6% at March 31, 2023.

The weighted average duration of the fixed maturities portfolio was 1.1 years as of March 31, 2024.

The Company generated strong underwriting income of $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to an underwriting loss of $1.1 million for the same period in 2023.

This improvement is primarily driven by strong property results during the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Gross written premiums decreased by 43.7% and 41.1% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to same periods in 2022.

The decrease in gross written premiums is being driven by a reduction in premiums in both Continuing Lines as well as Exited Lines.

The reduction in Continuing Lines is primarily due to the non-renewal of a casualty treaty within Reinsurance Operations, the non-renewal of a restaurant book of business within Commercial Specialty, and actions taken within Commercial Specialty to improve underwriting results by not renewing underperforming business.

These decreases were partially offset by increased pricing within Commercial Specialty.

To support future growth in the Company's Commercial Specialty segment and provide capital for business initiatives including share repurchases, a decision was made to reduce writings in its Reinsurance Operations.

The Company anticipates that its Reinsurance Operations will comprise a smaller percentage of the Company's overall business prospectively.

Gross written premiums decreased by 24.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as compared to same period in 2023.

The decrease in gross written premiums is mainly due to a reduction in premiums within Non-Core Operations for lines of business that have been de-emphasized or no longer written.

In addition, within Penn-America, the gross written premiums for Programs decreased primarily due to actions taken in 2023 to improve underwriting results through increased rates and form changes.

These reductions in premiums were partially offset by continued growth of 7.1% in aggregate for Penn-America's Wholesale Commercial, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance divisions.

The growth in Wholesale Commercial and InsurTech is driven by new agency appointments, organic growth of existing agents, and new products.

The growth in Assumed Reinsurance is primarily due to three new treaties entered into during 2023 and increased participation on one treaty.

The net premium retention for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 15.5 points and 12.3 points, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022.

While the Company still has ceding arrangements in place related to the sale of renewal rights, the Company's overall net retention is not significantly impacted in 2023 as Exited Lines' gross written premiums comprise a much smaller percentage of the Company's consolidated gross written premiums.

See Note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the sale of renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes business and the Company's Farm, Ranch & Stable business.

Non-Core Operations

The net premium retention for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased by 4.3 points as compared to the same period in 2023.

Penn-America's retention increased by 3.0 points primarily due to the termination of two quota share agreements and lower cost on the Company's catastrophe reinsurance treaty.

Cessions on Non-Core Operations were significantly reduced

due to sale of manufactured home and dwelling business in 2021 and the Farm, Ranch and Stable business in 2022.

See Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the sale of renewal rights related to the Company’s manufactured and dwelling homes business and the Company's Farm, Ranch & Stable business.

Net Earned Premiums

Net earned premiums within the Commercial Specialty segment decreased by 15.1% and 4.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to the reduction in premiums written in 2023 as a result of actions taken within Commercial Specialty to improve underwriting results by not renewing underperforming business as well as the non-renewal of a restaurant book of business.

Property net earned premiums were $34.1 million and $35.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $107.6 million and $106.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net earned premiums within the Reinsurance Operations segment decreased by 23.9% and 16.0% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to the non-renewal of a casualty treaty.

Net earned premiums within the Exited Lines segment decreased by 93.3% and 70.3% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to the sale of renewal rights related to the Company's Farm, Ranch & Stable business on August 8, 2022.

The decrease in net earned premiums is also due to exiting lines of business unrelated to the Company’s continuing businesses.

Property net earned premiums were $0.6 million and $14.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $13.3 million and $51.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Casualty net earned premiums were $0.7 million and $5.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $6.3 million and $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made.

If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate.

For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity.

Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency.

The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $231.2 million for claims occurring during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
