Year to Date Overview
Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE: MIG) ("Meadowbrook" or the "Company") reported for the six months ended June 30, 2013 a net loss of ($4.4 million), or ($0.09) per diluted share, as compared to a net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 net operating loss, a non-GAAP measure the Company defines as net loss excluding after-tax realized gains and losses, was ($6.7 million), or ($0.13) per diluted share, as compared to a net operating loss of ($1.2 million), or ($0.02) per diluted share for the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 net operating loss, excluding the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty, was ($2.6 million), or ($0.05) per diluted share.
Commenting on the results, Robert S. Cubbin, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "After a decent, but not great first quarter in 2013, wherein we showed operating income of $0.14 per share or $6.9 million, the second quarter was negatively impacted by an unexpected adverse reinsurance arbitration result, development on prior accident year reserves relating to an isolated territory in the discontinued business and from an above average level of storms in the second quarter. Our change in prior accident year ultimate reserve estimates on ongoing business was slightly favorable in the second quarter. We are optimistic that the actions taken in 2012 and in the first quarter of 2013 to enhance our statutory surplus position, increase our capital adequacy and lower our gross and net written premium to statutory surplus leverage ratios, and solidify pricing adequacy positions us well for the second half of 2013 and 2014."
The six months ended June 30, 2013 results include $2.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, of after-tax realized gains, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, during the same period in 2012.
The six months ended June 30, 2013 the GAAP combined ratio was 108.6%, as compared to 106.6% in 2012. The GAAP combined ratio, excluding the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty, was 105.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
The six months ended June 30, 2013 results include a pre-tax adjustment to net ultimate loss estimates for accident years 2012 and prior of $30.1 million, ($19.6 million after-tax or $0.39 per share), or 8.7 combined ratio percentage points. The $30.1 million of pre-tax adjustment to net ultimate loss estimates for accident years 2012 and prior includes $5.2 million impact from the adverse reinsurance arbitration award and $27.8 million from isolated discontinued business and was slightly offset by favorable development of $2.9 million on ongoing business.
The expense ratio was 31.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 32.7% in 2012. The expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2013, excluding the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty was 32.3%. The decrease reflects our ability to leverage fixed costs and growth in business for which we receive a ceding commission for providing insurance services to a workers' compensation placement facility. Partly offsetting the decrease was the impact of the recent adverse reinsurance arbitration award discussed below.
On July 23, 2013, we were notified of an adverse reinsurance arbitration award against us on ceded losses that date back to a reinsurance treaty in place for the 1999 to 2001 policy periods, the provision for these ceded losses was recorded as a $5.2 million allowance for ceded recoverables. With an allowance accrual for other items of approximately $2.9 million, the total pre-tax impact was $8.2 million and the after-tax impact was $5.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. This subsequent event was recorded in the second quarter 2013 financial statements.
Pre-tax net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $22.9 million from $27.4 million for 2012. The decrease reflects the impact from the fourth quarter 2012 sale of a portion of our bond portfolio in order to generate realized gains. The Company reinvested the proceeds during the first quarter of 2013, with the replacement of those bonds at lower interest rates.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, gross written premium decreased to $501.8 million, compared to $514.0 million for the same period in 2012. This anticipated decrease primarily reflects the impact of business that was discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2012 and largely offset by the accelerating pace of rate increases that have been achieved in combination with the maturation of existing programs for which we are achieving adequate pricing levels.
Pre-tax profit from net commissions and fee revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $6.2 million, compared to $4.9 million for 2012. The increased profitability was driven primarily by an increase in revenues and a reduction in our general, selling and administrative costs in the current year.
General corporate expenses increased to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2.1 million in 2012.
Amortization expense decreased to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2.7 million in 2012.
Second Quarter Overview
The Company reported second quarter 2013 net loss of ($11.5 million), or ($0.23) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of ($7.7 million), or ($0.15) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. For the second quarter 2013 net operating loss, a non-GAAP measure the Company defines as net loss excluding after-tax realized gains and losses, was ($13.6 million), or ($0.27) per diluted share, as compared to a net operating loss of ($8.8 million), or ($0.17) per diluted share for the same period in 2012. For the second quarter 2013 net operating loss, excluding the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty, was ($11.6 million), or ($0.23) per diluted share.
The second quarter 2013 results include $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, of after-tax realized gains, compared to $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, during the same period in 2012.
The second quarter 2013 the GAAP combined ratio was 116.0%, as compared to 111.1% in 2012. The GAAP combined ratio, excluding the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty, was 111.5% for the second quarter 2013.
Second quarter 2013 results include a pre-tax adjustment to net ultimate loss estimates for accident years 2012 and prior of $26.5 million, ($17.2 million after-tax or $0.35 per share), or 15.1 combined ratio percentage points. The $26.5 million includes $5.2 million from the reinsurance arbitration award, $21.4 million mostly from an isolated territory in the discontinued business and slightly offset by favorable development of $162,000 on ongoing business. In addition, the second quarter results reflect $5.8 million, 2.7 combined ratio points, of above average storm losses compared to an average level of storm losses for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
The expense ratio was 33.3% in the second quarter of 2013, compared to 32.7% in the prior year quarter. The second quarter 2013 expense ratio, excluding the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty was 33.0%. The increase in the expense ratio reflects the adverse reinsurance arbitration result which was partly offset by our ability to leverage fixed costs and growth in business where we receive a ceding commission for providing insurance services to a workers' compensation placement facility.
Pre-tax net investment income for the second quarter of 2013 decreased to $11.8 million from $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease reflects the impact from the fourth quarter 2012 sale of a portion of our bond portfolio in order to generate realized gains. The Company reinvested the proceeds during the first quarter of 2013, with the replacement of those bonds at lower interest rates.
Second quarter 2013 gross written premium decreased to $234.1 million, compared to $256.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. This anticipated decrease primarily reflects the impact of business that was discontinued in 2012 and largely offset by the accelerating pace of rate increases that have been achieved in combination with the maturation of existing programs for which we are achieving adequate pricing levels.
Pre-tax profit from net commissions and fee revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $2.6 million, compared to $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increased profitability was driven primarily by a reduction in our general, selling and administrative costs in the current year.
General corporate expenses increased to $760,000 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $758,000 in 2012.
Amortization expense decreased to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $1.3 million in 2012.
Second Half of 2013 Guidance Provided
Management expects gross written premium for the second half of 2013 to be between $470 million and $490 million. Management also expects the Company's net operating income, excluding the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty, to be between $22.5 million to $25.0 million, or between $0.45 and $0.50 per share for the second half of 2013. We expect the combined ratio, excluding the quota share surplus relief treaty, to be between 97% and 98%. We expect pre-tax net investment income to be between $23.0 million and $24.0 million. We expect the quota share surplus relief treaty reinsurance agreement will add between 0.5 and 0.7 percentage points to the combined ratio in the second half of 2013. The reduced impact of this treaty reflects the lower level of ceded earned premium in the second half of 2013 as the unearned premium transfer at year-end 2012 is earned. Net operating income after including the impact of the quota share surplus relief treaty, is expected to be between $20.0 million and $22.5 million, or $0.40 to $0.45 per share for the second half of 2013.
Commenting on expectations for the second half of 2013, Mr. Cubbin stated: "We have revised our earnings expectation for the full year and expect to show significant improvement in the second half of the year. We are projecting underwriting results to improve as the effect of the unprofitable discontinued business is diminished. We expect the full year 2013 combined ratio to significantly improve over last year on an as reported basis and excluding any unusual items that have occurred in the first six months of the year. We believe the quota share agreement provides us the flexibility to take advantage of the firming market and rebuild our historic track record of stable underwriting results in an efficient and effective manner."
Other Matters
Dividends:
On July 26, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share payable on August 26, 2013 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2013.
Debt to Equity Ratio:
At June 30, 2013, Meadowbrook's debt-to-equity ratio was 46.8%, compared to 28.6% at December 31, 2012. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio excluding the 30 year interest only senior and junior subordinated debentures ("the Debentures") was 31.3% at June 30, 2013, compared to 14.1% at December 31, 2012. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio excluding the Debentures and the drawdown of $30 million on Meadowbrook's Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") credit facility, under which the Company purchased $30 million of high quality fixed income securities that match the maturity of the FHLB credit facility was 25.5% at June 30, 2013 compared to 8.7% at December 31, 2012.
During the first six months of 2013, the Company's debt-to equity ratio increased due to the issuance of $100 million of the Company's 5% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020.
Investment Portfolio:
At June 30, 2013, pre-tax book yield, excluding cash and cash equivalents was 3.3%, compared to 3.4% at December 31, 2012.

This decrease reflects the reduction in net unrealized gains of $0.69 per share from $0.98 per share at December 31, 2012 to $0.29 per share at June 30, 2013 reflecting the overall increase in investment yields.
Statutory Surplus:

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, cash flows used in operating activities were $4.1 million, compared to cash flows provided from operating activities of $34.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in operating cash flows reflects a net cash outflow on the quota share surplus relief treaty and a decrease in cash from underwriting activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash flows used in operating activities were $1.5 million, compared to cash flows provided from operating activities of $73.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in operating cash flows reflects a net cash outflow on the quota share surplus relief treaty and a decrease in cash from underwriting activities.

Under our Share Repurchase Plan, management remains authorized to purchase approximately 3.7 million additional shares.

Net Operating (Loss) Income and Net Operating (Loss) Income Per Share
Net operating (loss) income and net operating (loss) income per share are non-GAAP measures that represent net (loss) income excluding net realized gains or loss, net of tax. The most directly comparable financial GAAP measures to net operating (loss) income and net operating (loss) income per share are net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share, respectively. Net operating (loss) income and net operating (loss) income per share are intended as supplemental information and are not meant to replace net (loss) income or net (loss) income per share. Net operating (loss) income and net operating (loss) income per share should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial results. The following is a reconciliation of net operating (loss) income to net (loss) income, as well as net operating (loss) income per share to net (loss) income per share:
For the Three Months Ended | For the Six Months Ended | ||||
2013 | 2012 | 2013 | 2012 | ||

Net (loss) income | $ (11,518) | $ (7,732) | $ (4,436) | $ 372 | |
Diluted earnings per common share: | |||||
Net operating (loss) income | $ (0.27) | $ (0.17) | $ (0.13) | $ (0.02) | |
Net (loss) income | $ (0.23) | $ (0.15) | $ (0.09) | $ 0.01 | |
Diluted weighted average common | 49,887,200 | 50,251,591 | 49,855,716 | 50,583,368 | |
Management uses net operating (loss) income and net operating (loss) income per share as components to assess our performance and as measures to evaluate the results of our business. Management believes these measures provide investors with valuable information relating to our ongoing performance that may be obscured by the net effect of realized gains and losses as a result of the Company's market risk sensitive instruments, which primarily relate to fixed income securities that are available for sale and not held for trading purposes. Realized gains and losses may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by external economic developments, such as capital market conditions. Accordingly, net operating (loss) income excludes the effect of items that tend to be highly variable from period to period and highlights the results from the Company's ongoing business operations and the underlying loss or profitability of the Company's business. Accordingly, management believes it is useful for investors to evaluate net operating (loss) income and net operating (loss) income per share, along with net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share, when reviewing and evaluating Meadowbrook's performance.
Combined Ratio
The combined loss and expense ratio (or combined ratio), expressed as a percentage, is the key measure of underwriting profitability traditionally used in the property and casualty insurance business. The term combined ratio is a statutory measurement which represents the sum of the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) to premiums earned (loss ratio) plus the ratio of underwriting expenses to premiums written (expense ratio.) Management evaluates the performance of our underwriting operations utilizing GAAP accounting and therefore the statutory combined ratio is converted to a GAAP combined ratio. The GAAP combined ratio is the sum of the ratio of losses and loss expenses to premiums earned (loss ratio) plus the ratio of GAAP underwriting expenses (including DAC) to premiums earned (expense ratio).
The accident year combined ratio is a non-GAAP measure and represents the Company's GAAP combined ratio excluding the impact of any changes in net ultimate loss estimates on prior year loss and LAE reserves. The accident year combined ratio is intended as supplemental information. The accident year combined ratio should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial results. The following is a reconciliation of the accident year combined ratio to the GAAP combined ratio (both as reported and excluding quota share surplus relief treaty):
For the Three Months Ended June 30, | For the Three Months Ended | ||||
2013 | 2012 | 2013 | 2012 | ||
Accident year combined ratio | 100.9% | 97.8% | 99.3% | 97.8% | |
Increase in net ultimate loss | 15.1% | 13.3% | 12.2% | 13.3% | |
GAAP Combined ratio | 116.0% | 111.1% | 111.5% | 111.1% | |
For the Six Months Ended June 30, | For the Six Months Ended | ||||
2013 | 2012 | 2013 | 2012 | ||
Accident year combined ratio | 99.9% | 97.1% | 98.5% | 97.1% | |
Increase in net ultimate loss | 8.7% | 9.5% | 6.9% | 9.5% | |
GAAP Combined ratio | 108.6% | 106.6% | 105.4% | 106.6% | |
Management uses the accident year combined ratio as one component to assess the Company's current year performance and as a measure to evaluate and, if necessary, adjust our pricing and underwriting. Meadowbrook's GAAP combined ratio is based on calendar year information. Adjusting this ratio to an accident year combined ratio allows us to evaluate information based on the current accident year activity. Management believes this measure provides investors with valuable information for comparison to historical trends and current industry estimates. Management also believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate the accident year combined ratio and GAAP combined ratio separately when reviewing and evaluating the Company's performance.
