Management Commentary

Overview

Kevin G. Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Donegal Group Inc., noted, “Donegal Group reported solid bottom line results and higher book value per share, driven by improved underwriting performance and investment gains during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior-year third quarter. We benefitted from lower incurred losses in our personal lines segment due to lower-than-average frequency of automobile and homeowners claims. Our net income of $38.2 million, along with unrealized gains within our available-for-sale fixed-maturity portfolio related to a decline in market interest rates during the first nine months of 2020, contributed to an increase in our book value per share to $16.96 at September 30, 2020, which represented an 8.2% increase compared to our book value per share of $15.67 at December 31, 2019.”

Growth Trends

Mr. Burke continued, “We have consistently prioritized profitability over top-line growth, with our underwriting results for the third quarter of 2020 improving once again over the comparable prior-year period. While our net premiums written decreased 1.7% during the third quarter of 2020 due to a reduction in personal lines premium writings compared to the prior-year third quarter, this decline was mostly offset by commercial lines growth. Similar to the past several quarters, our commercial lines growth reflected strong new business writings and modest average pricing increases on renewal business, as we continue to seek profitable commercial growth in specific geographical markets where we see attractive opportunities to increase market share.”

Underwriting Results

Jeffrey D. Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented on the third quarter underwriting results, “Donegal Group’s combined ratio improved to 98.3% for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to 100.6% in the prior-year quarter, which we primarily attribute to considerable improvement in personal automobile and homeowners results. While increased driving activity resulted in a higher frequency of personal automobile claims compared to the second quarter of 2020, lower traffic density contributed to reduced claim frequency compared to the third quarter of 2019. In addition, we continued to benefit from significant pricing and underwriting actions we implemented over the past two years to improve our personal automobile results. Improvement in our homeowners results was primarily due to a lower incidence of large fire losses as well as a lower weather-related claims impact as a result of our personal lines exit from several weather-prone states during the past year. Reported claims related to COVID-19 decreased significantly during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the claim reporting volume during the second quarter of 2020. While much uncertainty remains with respect to business interruption litigation activity throughout our operating regions, we have not incurred, and do not currently anticipate, significant insured losses directly related to COVID-19. In addition, our workers’ compensation line of business continued to perform well despite mandated rate reductions over the past year. Net development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years did not have a material impact on the loss ratios for the third quarters of 2020 and 2019.”

Operations and Outlook

Mr. Burke concluded, “We, like so many others, have adapted to a shift in operating procedures as the vast majority of our personnel are continuing to work from their homes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen no substantial declines in operating performance throughout our organization as a result of this transition. We have been able to maintain excellent service levels and to make consistent progress on key strategic initiatives, which reflect both the resilience and dedication of our employees. Our ability to continue to grow our commercial lines premiums speaks to our solid relationships and the reputation we have built with our independent agents. We are working diligently to further enhance our relationships with independent agents, including national agency aggregators and agency groups, across our operating regions. We believe this ongoing relationship emphasis and our commitment to providing quality service to our agents and policyholders will allow us to continue to increase our market share and grow our business profitably in 2021 and beyond.”

Net Premiums Written

The 1.7% decrease in net premiums written for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, as shown in the table above, represents 4.3% growth in commercial lines net premiums written, offset by an 8.0% decrease in personal lines net premiums written for the reasons we describe below. The $3.1 million decline in net premiums written for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 included:

  • Commercial Lines: $4.1 million increase that we attribute primarily to new commercial accounts our insurance subsidiaries have written throughout their operating regions and a continuation of renewal premium increases.
  • Personal Lines: $7.2 million decline that we attribute to net attrition as a result of underwriting measures our insurance subsidiaries implemented to slow new policy growth and to increase pricing on renewal policies, partially offset by premium rate increases our insurance subsidiaries have implemented over the past four quarters.

Underwriting Performance

We evaluate the performance of our commercial lines and personal lines segments primarily based upon the underwriting results of our insurance subsidiaries as determined under statutory accounting practices. The following table presents comparative details with respect to the GAAP and statutory combined ratios1 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Loss Ratio

For the third quarter of 2020, the loss ratio decreased to 65.4%, compared to 68.9% for the third quarter of 2019. Weather-related losses of approximately $16.9 million, or 9.1 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the third quarter of 2020, increased from $13.9 million, or 7.3 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the third quarter of 2019. We primarily attribute the increase in weather-related losses to the August 2020 impacts of Tropical Storm Isaias, which included tornado damage to properties in Delaware, and a “derecho” severe wind event that primarily impacted Iowa and surrounding states. The impact of weather-related loss activity to the loss ratio for the third quarter of 2020 was in line with our previous five-year average of 9.1% for third quarter weather-related losses.

Large fire losses, which we define as individual fire losses in excess of $50,000, for the third quarter of 2020 were $3.9 million, or 2.1 percentage points of the loss ratio. That amount represented a decrease compared to the large fire losses of $7.8 million, or 4.1 percentage points of the loss ratio, for the third quarter of 2019. Homeowners fire losses decreased in the third quarter of 2020 relative to the prior-year quarter.

Net development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident years did not have a material impact on the loss ratios for the third quarters of 2020 and 2019. For the third quarter of 2020, our insurance subsidiaries experienced modest favorable development in their workers’ compensation and personal automobile lines of business, offset by modest unfavorable development in their commercial multi-peril line of business that resulted from reserve increases on a handful of liability claims that exceeded our actuaries’ expectations for quarterly loss emergence in that line.

The expense ratio was 31.9% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to 30.5% for the third quarter of 2019. Relative to the prior-year quarter, the increase in the expense ratio reflected an increase in technology systems-related expenses, higher commercial growth incentive costs for our agents and increased underwriting-based incentive costs for our agents and employees. The increase in technology systems-related expenses was primarily due to an increased allocation of costs from Donegal Mutual Insurance Company to our insurance subsidiaries following the successful implementation of the first phase of our ongoing systems modernization project in February 2020.

Investment Operations

Donegal Group’s investment strategy is to generate an appropriate amount of after-tax income on its invested assets while minimizing credit risk through investment in high-quality securities. As a result, we had invested 93.7% of our consolidated investment portfolio in diversified, highly rated and marketable fixed-maturity securities at September 30, 2020.

Total investments at September 30, 2020 increased by $96.1 million from the year-end 2019 balance, partially reflecting investment holdings related to contingent liquidity funding that Atlantic States Insurance Company, our largest insurance subsidiary, obtained in March 2020 for added security in light of uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Atlantic States Insurance Company issued $50.0 million of debt to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh in exchange for a cash advance in the same amount. The debt carries a fixed interest rate of 0.83% and is due in March 2021.

Net investment income of $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2020 was comparable to net investment income for the third quarter of 2019 as an increase in average invested assets offset a modest decrease in average investment yield.

Net investment gains of $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2020 were primarily related to unrealized gains in the fair value of equity securities held at September 30, 2020. That amount compared to net investment losses of $369,000 for the third quarter of 2019.

Net investment losses of $940,000 for the first nine months of 2020 were primarily related to net realized losses on the sales of equity securities, offset partially by unrealized gains in the fair value of equity securities held at September 30, 2020. Net investment gains of $19.3 million for the first nine months of 2019 included $12.7 million from the March 2019 sale of Donegal Financial Services Corporation, with the remainder primarily related to unrealized gains in the fair value of equity securities held at September 30, 2019.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our consolidated financial statements on the basis of GAAP. Our insurance subsidiaries also prepare financial statements based on statutory accounting principles state insurance regulators prescribe or permit (“SAP”). In addition to using GAAP-based performance measurements, we also utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide value in managing our business and for comparison to the financial results of our peers. These non-GAAP measures are net premiums written, operating income or loss and statutory combined ratio.

Net premiums written and operating income or loss are non-GAAP financial measures investors in insurance companies commonly use. We define net premiums written as the amount of full-term premiums our insurance subsidiaries record for policies effective within a given period less premiums our insurance subsidiaries cede to reinsurers. We define operating income or loss as net income or loss excluding after-tax net investment gains or losses, after-tax restructuring charges and other significant non-recurring items. Because our calculation of operating income or loss may differ from similar measures other companies use, investors should exercise caution when comparing our measure of operating income or loss to the measure of other companies.

The statutory combined ratio is a non-GAAP standard measurement of underwriting profitability that is based upon amounts determined under SAP. The statutory combined ratio is the sum of:

  • the statutory loss ratio, which is the ratio of calendar-year incurred losses and loss expenses to premiums earned;
  • the statutory expense ratio, which is the ratio of expenses incurred for net commissions, premium taxes and underwriting expenses to premiums written; and
  • the statutory dividend ratio, which is the ratio of dividends to holders of workers’ compensation policies to premiums earned.

The statutory combined ratio does not reflect investment income, federal income taxes or other non-operating income or expense. A statutory combined ratio of less than 100% generally indicates underwriting profitability.
