Company to Host Conference Call on Friday, July 29, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time

Employers Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:EIG), a holding company with subsidiaries that are specialty providers of workers' compensation insurance and services focused on select, small businesses engaged primarily in low-to-medium hazard industries, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Financial Highlights

  • Gross premiums written of $179.4 million, up 22% year-over-year;
  • Net premiums earned of $165.2 million, up 21% year-over-year;
  • Record number of ending policies in-force of 117,256, up 9% year-over-year;
  • Net investment income of $20.0 million, up 10% year-over-year;
  • Net loss of $15.6 million, a loss of $0.56 per common share;
  • Adjusted net income of $21.9 million, $0.79 per diluted share;
  • The Company repurchased 365,359 shares of its common stock at an average price of $39.81 per share.

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Katherine Antonello commented: “Consistent with the momentum we have experienced in recent prior quarters, our written and earned premiums rose sharply year-over-year and we achieved yet another record number of policies in-force. This growth resulted from strong new and renewal business writings within our Employers segment, strong new business writings within our Cerity segment and further audit premium recognition.

We maintained our current accident year loss and LAE ratio on voluntary business at 64.0%, largely consistent with the 63.5% we recorded throughout 2021. We also performed our routine mid-year full reserve study and recognized $9.6 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development from our voluntary business. Our combined ratio for Employers, our largest segment, was 92.4% versus 98.8% a year ago, driven primarily by the favorable loss reserve development recognized as well as a significantly lower underwriting expense ratio of 20.2% versus 23.0% a year ago.”

Ms. Antonello continued, "We remain committed to maintaining the highest level of underwriting discipline as we thoughtfully expand our underwriting appetite at both Employers and Cerity. The additional classes of business are contributing nicely to our top-line growth.

Our Cerity operations, which offers digital workers' compensation insurance solutions directly to consumers, experienced solid premium growth again this quarter, due to both its appetite expansion and its recent collaboration with Intuit’s QuickBooks. Cerity continues to develop additional strategic opportunities which will support our growth initiatives by attracting an untapped segment of our target market.

The sharp increases in market interest rates that have occurred throughout the first six months of 2022 have benefited our net investment income while generating unrealized investment losses from our fixed maturity portfolio. These unrealized losses, coupled with unrealized losses from our equity portfolio, have led to a decline in our book value and book value per share metrics.

Our balance sheet and underwriting capital remain very strong and are highly supportive of our continued growth and success.”

Summary of Second Quarter 2022 Results

(All comparisons vs. the second quarter of 2021, unless noted otherwise).

Gross premiums written were $179.4 million, an increase of 22%. The increase was primarily due to higher new and renewal premiums and higher final audit premiums. Net premiums earned were $165.2 million, an increase of 21%.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $93.3 million, an increase of 11%. The increase was primarily due to higher earned premiums, partially offset by an increase in net favorable prior accident year loss reserve development. The Company recognized $10.0 million of favorable development during the quarter versus $1.6 million of favorable development a year ago.

Commission expenses were $23.7 million, an increase of 32%. The increase was due primarily to higher earned premiums and higher agency incentives.

Underwriting and general and administrative expenses were $39.4 million, an increase of 6%. The increase resulted primarily from higher premium taxes, assessments and bad debt expenses, each of which vary with earned premium.

Net investment income was $20.0 million, an increase of 10%. The increase was primarily due to higher bond yields.

Income tax (benefit) expense was $(5.8) million (27% effective rate) versus $6.0 million (19% effective rate). The effective rates during each of the periods presented included income tax benefits and exclusions associated with tax-advantaged investment income, LPT adjustments, and deferred gain amortization.

The Company’s book value per share of $35.70 and book value per share including the Deferred Gain of $39.72 decreased by 8% and 7% during the second quarter of 2022, respectively, computed after taking into account dividends declared. These measures were adversely impacted by $73.5 million of after-tax unrealized losses arising from fixed maturity securities (which are reflected on the balance sheet) and $33.2 million of net after tax unrealized losses arising from equity securities and other investments (which are reflected on the income statement).

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the Financial Supplement that is attached to this press release and is available on our website.

Within this earnings release we present various financial measures, some of which are “Non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G pursuant to Section 401 of the Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002. A description of these Non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a reconciliation of such Non-GAAP measures to our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the attached Financial Supplement. Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.

The Company and its management caution investors that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Risks and uncertainties are inherent in the Company’s future performance. Factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among other things, those discussed or identified from time to time in the Company’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the risks detailed in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Within this earnings release we present the following measures, each of which are "non-GAAP financial measures." A reconciliation of these measures to the Company's most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included herein. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.

The LPT Agreement is a non-recurring transaction that does not result in ongoing cash benefits to the Company. Management believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of the LPT Agreement (amortization of deferred reinsurance gain, adjustments to LPT Agreement ceded reserves and adjustments to contingent commission receivable) is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing underwriting performance.

Deferred reinsurance gain (Deferred Gain) reflects the unamortized gain from the LPT Agreement. This gain has been deferred and is being amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries, except for the contingent profit commission, which is being amortized through June 30, 2024. Amortization is reflected in losses and LAE incurred.

Adjusted net income (see Page 3 for calculations) is net income excluding the effects of the LPT Agreement, and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (net of tax), and any miscellaneous non-recurring transactions (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measures is helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in identifying trends in the Company's operating performance because such items have limited significance to its ongoing operations or can be impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and may not represent operating trends.

Stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain (see Page 11 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful measure of the Company's total underwriting capital.

Adjusted stockholders' equity (see Page 11 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain, less accumulated other comprehensive income (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties since it serves as the denominator to the Company's adjusted return on stockholders' equity metric.

Return on stockholders' equity and Adjusted return on stockholders' equity (see Page 8 for calculations). Management believes that these profitability measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Book value per share, Book value per share including the Deferred Gain, and Adjusted book value per share (see Page 11 for calculations). Management believes that these valuation measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Net income before impact of the LPT (see Page 3 for calculations). Management believes that these performance and underwriting measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Description of Reportable Segments

The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity. Each of these segments represents a separate and distinct distribution channel through which the Company conducts insurance business.

The nature and composition of each reportable segment and its Corporate and Other activities are as follows:

  • The Employers segment represents the traditional business offered through the EMPLOYERS brand name (Employers) through its agents, including business originated from its strategic partnerships and alliances;
  • The Cerity segment represents the as business offered under the Cerity brand name, which includes the Company's direct-to-customer business; and
  • Corporate and Other activities consist of those holding company expenses that are not considered to be underwriting in nature, the financial impact of the LPT Agreement and legacy (pre-acquisition) business assumed and ceded by Cerity Insurance Company. These expenses are not considered to be part of a reportable segment and are not otherwise allocated to a reportable segment.
