Mac Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Simply put, Palomar had a very strong second quarter. Our results clearly demonstrate further execution of our 2022 strategic objectives and “Palomar 2X”, our intermediate term strategic plan of doubling our adjusted underwriting income and delivering an adjusted return on equity of 20%. Highlights of the quarter included 69% year-over-year gross written premium growth, the successful placement of our excess of loss reinsurance program, the conversion of our Texas Specialty Homeowner’s product to a fronting program and incremental traction in our new products including professional liability and PLMR-FRONT.”

“Predictable, profitable growth is a key tenant of Palomar 2X and the second quarter results embodied this tenant. During the quarter, we achieved an adjusted combined ratio of approximately 69.1%, an annualized adjusted ROE of 19.7%, and year-over-year adjusted net income growth of 41.3%, even with $4.6 million of unrealized losses in our equity portfolio," concluded Mr. Armstrong.

Underwriting Results
Gross written premiums increased 69.1% to $218.7 million compared to $129.4 million in the second quarter of 2021, while net earned premiums increased 48.0% compared to the prior year’s second quarter.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the second quarter were $14.4 million including $13.9 million of non-catastrophe attritional losses, and $0.5 million of catastrophe losses from unfavorable prior period development. The loss ratio for the quarter of 17.9% was comprised of a catastrophe loss ratio of 0.7% and an attritional loss ratio of 17.2%, compared to a loss ratio of 13.3% during the same period last year comprised of a catastrophe loss ratio of negative 2.1% and an attritional loss ratio of 15.4%. Non-catastrophe losses and loss ratio increased mainly due to the growth of lines of business subject to attritional losses, such as Inland Marine, Flood, and Commercial All Risk.

Underwriting income⁽¹⁾ was $20.0 million resulting in a combined ratio of 75.1% compared to underwriting income of $13.0 million and a combined ratio of 76.0% during the same period last year. Excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and catastrophe bonds, the Company’s adjusted combined ratio⁽¹⁾ was 69.1% in the second quarter compared to 73.8% during the same period last year. The adjusted combined ratio⁽¹⁾ decreased primarily due to a lower expense ratio offset by a higher loss ratio during the quarter.

Investment Results
Net investment income increased by 43.1% to $3.1 million compared to $2.2 million in the prior year’s second quarter. The year over year increase was a result of a higher average balance of investments held during the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to cash generated from operations and higher yields on fixed income investments. Funds are generally invested conservatively in high quality securities, including government agency, asset and mortgage-backed securities, municipal and corporate bonds with an average credit quality of "A1/A" with a small portion of our portfolio invested in equity securities. The weighted average duration of the fixed-maturity investment portfolio, including cash equivalents, was 4.18 years at June 30, 2022. Cash and invested assets totaled $552.5 million at June 30, 2022. During the second quarter, the Company recorded realized and unrealized losses of $4.7 million related to its equity investment portfolio as compared to realized and unrealized gains of $0.3 million in last year’s second quarter.

Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 20.2% compared to 20.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the current quarter and prior year quarter, the Company’s income tax rate was lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the tax impact of the permanent component of employee stock option exercises.

Stockholders’ Equity and Returns
Stockholders' equity was $378.1 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $376.7 million at June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s annualized return on equity was 15.4% compared to 13.1% for the same period in the prior year while adjusted return on equity⁽¹⁾was 19.7% compared to 14.1% for the same period in the prior year. During the current quarter, the Company repurchased 127,952 shares, or $7.3 million, of the Company’s previously announced $100 million share repurchase authorization. As of June 30 2022, $79.7 million remains available for future repurchases.

Full Year 2022 Outlook
For the full year 2022, the Company maintains its outlook to achieve adjusted net income of $80 million to $85 million, including $5.9 million of pre-tax unrealized losses on equity security holdings. This range is equivalent to adjusted net income of $85 million to $90 million excluding unrealized gains and losses for the year.

Palomar discusses certain key performance indicators, described below, which provide useful information about the Company’s business and the operational factors underlying the Company’s financial performance.

Underwriting revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as total revenue, excluding net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP to underwriting revenue.

Underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income before income taxes excluding net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, and interest expense. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of income before income taxes calculated in accordance with GAAP to underwriting income.

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income excluding the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook, net of tax impact. Palomar calculates the tax impact only on adjustments which would be included in calculating the Company’s income tax expense using the estimated tax rate at which the company received a deduction for these adjustments. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of net income calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted net income.

Annualized Return on equity is net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period.

Annualized adjusted return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as adjusted net income expressed on an annualized basis as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of return on equity calculated using unadjusted GAAP numbers to adjusted return on equity.

Loss ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses, to net earned premiums.

Expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of acquisition and other underwriting expenses, net of commission and other income to net earned premiums.

Combined ratio is defined as the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% generally indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% generally indicates an underwriting loss.

Adjusted combined ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio calculated excluding the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of underlying business trends, operating results, or future outlook. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of combined ratio calculated using unadjusted GAAP numbers to adjusted combined ratio.

Diluted adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period, reflecting the dilution which could occur if equity-based awards are converted into common share equivalents as calculated using the treasury stock method. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to diluted adjusted earnings per share.

Catastrophe loss ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as the ratio of catastrophe losses to net earned premiums. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of loss ratio calculated using unadjusted GAAP numbers to catastrophe loss ratio.
