Total revenues in the third quarter of 2015 were $51.2 million, up 26.1 percent from $40.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $12.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to adjusted net income of $7.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the same period in 2014. Reported net income was $12.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015. See below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
Commenting on the quarter, State National’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Terry Ledbetter, said, “We continued to achieve substantial growth in the third quarter and are pleased with the performance in our Lender and Program Services segments, which generated strong increases in cash flows and profitability. Based on our current performance, combined with our expectations for the remainder of the year, we have revised our 2015 outlook, and we are issuing our preliminary 2016 outlook. We are also pleased to have announced the Board’s authorization of a stock repurchase program last month, which represents our commitment to managing our capital and enhancing shareholder value.”
Mr. Ledbetter, continued. “In addition, we have amended our agreement with Nephila Capital to extend our partnership through 2019, which demonstrates Nephila’s long-term commitment to access the primary market for U.S. catastrophe exposed property business. State National will benefit from the anticipated $51.5 million of contractual minimum fees over the extended term.”
Lender Services Segment
In Lender Services, the Collateral Protection Insurance, or CPI, business is fully vertically integrated and State National manages all aspects of the CPI business for its clients, including policy issuance and administration, underwriting and claims. The Company differentiates itself from competitors by establishing long-term relationships with clients, leveraging its alliance with CUNA Mutual, and providing high-quality service and advanced technology to more than 600 customers and over 6.2 million loans.
In the third quarter of 2015, total revenues from the Lender Services segment were $30.9 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 17.5 percent, from the third quarter of 2014. Premiums earned increased by $4.6 million, or 18.0 percent, to $30.2 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $25.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. Contributing to this increase in Lender Services premiums are sales of new accounts and growth in loan portfolios of existing accounts driven by rising automobile sales and higher automobile loan sizes.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $10.4 million in the same period last year, primarily a result of increased exposure due to higher earned premiums, increased retention for the business subject to the CUNA Mutual alliance and increases in claim frequency and severity. Despite the increase in losses, the combined ratio decreased from 85.7% to 84.1% reflecting an improved expense ratio, consistent with our objective of 85 to 90 percent for the full year.
Program Services Segment
Our Program Services business provides fronting to general agents and insurance carriers to leverage State National’s “A” (Excellent) A.M. Best rating with its expansive licenses and trusted reputation to provide access to the U.S. property and casualty insurance market in exchange for ceding fees. State National issues the policy, and the reinsurer assumes the risk.
In the third quarter of 2015, total revenues from the Program Services segment were $18.8 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 54.1 percent, from the third quarter of 2014. The growth in revenues was driven by increased ceding fees from both new and existing client programs. The Nephila Capital program contributed ceding fees of $4.6 million, consisting of $3.8 million of capacity fees and $0.8 million of premium related fees. Approximately $1.9 million of capacity fees is attributable to the re-estimation of premiums expected for 2015 from $150 to $100 million. As reported earlier today, the Company has signed a contract amendment with Nephila to extend the partnership through 2019, under which Nephila has agreed to pay contractual minimum ceding fees anticipated to total $51.5 million for 2016 through 2019.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2015 decreased 2.0 percent, to $14.5 million from $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to a decrease in direct personnel costs.
Balance Sheet
State National’s balance sheet reflects low financial leverage with $44.5 million of subordinated debentures. The subordinated debentures have limited covenant requirements and are interest-only until the mid-2030s.
The Company had only $6.1 million of goodwill and other intangibles at September 30, 2015.
State National’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed income securities, the majority of which have investment grade ratings with short duration of approximately four years and are laddered to allow for new funds to reinvest annually as rates change. Most of the Company’s reserves are ceded to reinsurers.
2015 and 2016 Outlook
The Company has revised its 2015 outlook:
- In Lender Services, State National expects net earned premiums in fiscal 2015 to be in the range of $113 to $117 million, a reduction from our previous range of $120 to $130 million, due primarily to the current volume of gross written premiums. The Company maintains its expectations for a combined ratio of 85 to 90 percent.
- In Program Services, the Company now expects ceding fees in fiscal 2015 to be in the range of $61 to $64 million, up from the previous range of $55 to $60 million. Contributing to the increased range is the variation of fees recognized from the Nephila program and from the Meadowbrook program as it is exceeding prior expectations.
State National has also initiated its 2016 outlook:
- In Lender Services, the Company expects net earned premiums in fiscal 2016 to be in the range of $115 to $125 million, with a combined ratio of 85 to 90 percent.
- In Program Services, State National expects ceding fees in fiscal 2016 to be in the range of $55 to $65 million.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation
This press release includes certain financial measures that have been adjusted for items impacting comparability. The accompanying information provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, earnings per share, return on equity or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
Adjusted net income is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it reflects adjustments to net income, which is the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP for the pro forma provision for income taxes as if the Company had been treated as a C Corporation for each period presented and the exclusion (net of tax benefit) of the increase in the Company's deferred tax asset as a result of the conversion to C Corporation status, the amount of founder special compensation and the non-recurring offering-related expenses and contract modification expense related to the amendment to our alliance agreement with CUNA Mutual, as applicable. Management believes this measure is helpful to investors because it provides comparability in evaluating core financial performance between periods.
