IGI Chairman and CEO Mr. Wasef Jabsheh said, “IGI continues to perform well with excellent results recorded for the second quarter and first half of 2022. Highlighted by a combined ratio of 73.5% and a 26.8% core operating return on average shareholders’ equity, our results for the first half of 2022 demonstrate how our strategy and execution capabilities are driving continued high-quality returns and creating shareholder value.”

“We continue to see attractive rate increases and favorable market conditions across a number of business lines and territories providing excellent opportunities to further grow our portfolio. In the first six months of 2022, premium production continued at a steady pace with increases in most lines of business, resulting in 14% growth in the first half of 2022. This is on top of the 56% growth we saw in 2020 and 2021. We are well-positioned to benefit from this momentum for the foreseeable future.”

“Like others in our sector, we are monitoring the broader economic impacts of elevated inflationary pressures, rising interest rates and foreign exchange movements, which were evident in our results for the second quarter and first half of 2022. Notwithstanding these factors, our capital position remains very strong allowing us to continue to execute on our ‘underwriting first’ strategy to grow in the lines and territories where we see the most attractive returns. We remain optimistic about our future and delivering on our commitment to generate long-term shareholder value.”

Results for the Periods Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $21.8 million, compared to profit of $8.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Core operating income, a non-IFRS measure defined below, was $29.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a significant increase over the core operating income of $8.8 million for the comparable period in 2021. The improvement in core operating income from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 was primarily the result of an increase in net premiums earned and a lower level of net claims and claim adjustment expenses, which benefited from higher favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years. The core operating return on average equity (annualized) increased 20.9 points to 30.0% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

For the first six months of 2022, profit was $41.3 million, compared to profit of $18.5 million for the first six months of 2021.

Core operating income was $53.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to core operating income of $23.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The improvement in core operating income in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in net premiums earned and a lower level of net claims and claim adjustment expenses, which benefited from higher favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years.

The core operating return on average equity (annualized) increased 14.6 points to 26.8% for the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021.

Underwriting Results

Net underwriting results improved to $40.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 from $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, largely driven by growth in net premiums earned and a lower level of net claims and claim adjustment expenses.

Gross written premiums were $176.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, representing growth of 6.2% compared to gross written premiums of $166.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross written premiums was the result of new business generated across all segments and most lines of business, as well as rate increases on existing business across all segments.

The net claims and claims expense ratio improved to 40.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 57.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years of $5.5 million, or 5.7 points, compared to unfavorable development of $1.0 million or 1.2 points for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years in the second quarter of 2022 was driven by improvement in claims experience in most lines of business in the Long-tail Segment, and primarily the energy line in the Short-tail Segment, coupled with the currency devaluation impact on prior period loss reserves denominated in Pound Sterling and Euro.

The general and administrative expense ratio increased 0.3 points to 17.0% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter of 2021, largely due to increased employee-related costs, specifically higher salary costs due to new hires, an increase in business travel as result of the easing of global COVID-19 travel restrictions, and investment in technology infrastructure to support the Company’s growth.

The combined ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 74.8% compared to 92.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, benefiting from an increase in net premiums earned, favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years during the quarter, and the currency devaluation impact on loss reserves denominated in Pound Sterling and Euro.

For the first six months of 2022, gross written premiums were $304.4 million, an increase of 14.1% compared to $266.8 million for the comparable period in 2021.

The net claims and claim expense ratio improved to 36.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 53.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years of $23.1 million or 12.6 points, compared to favorable development of $3.3 million or 2.0 points for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years in the first six month of 2022 was largely driven by improvement in claims experience in nearly all lines of business in both the Long-tail and Short-tail segments, coupled with the currency devaluation impact on prior period loss reserves denominated in Pound Sterling and Euro.

The general and administrative expense ratio increased 0.7 points to 18.2% in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely due to increased employee-related costs, specifically higher salary costs due to new hires, an increase in business travels as result of the easing of global COVID-19 travel restrictions, and investment in technology infrastructure to support the Company’s growth.

The combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 73.5%, compared to 88.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, benefiting from an increase in net premiums earned, favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the currency devaluation impact on loss reserves denominated in Pound Sterling and Euro.

The net underwriting results for this segment were $20.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. The growth in net underwriting results was primarily due to a lower level of net claims and claim adjustment expenses in the second quarter of 2022, which benefited from higher favorable development of net loss reserves from prior accident years in all lines except for marine liability and inherent defects insurance, compared to the second quarter of 2021, coupled with the currency devaluation impact on loss reserves denominated in Pound Sterling.

Foreign Exchange Losses

The loss on foreign exchange in the second quarter of 2022 was $9.2 million, compared to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, both of which largely represent currency revaluation losses.

Investment Results

Total investment income was a gain of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a gain of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Total investment income, net (See Note (1) in the “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)” below) was $4.6 million and $3.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This represented an annualized investment yield of 2.0% on the average total investments, term deposits (bank deposits with a maturity of more than three months), and cash and cash equivalents (cash, bank balances, and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less) in the second quarter of 2022, unchanged compared to the 2.0% annualized investment yield in the corresponding period in 2021. The Company’s total investments and term deposits produced an investment yield of 2.3% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 2.4% in the corresponding period in 2021. The decline in total investment income was primarily attributable to a $3.1 million unrealized loss on investments in the second quarter of 2022 compared to a $0.8 million unrealized gain on investments in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by increase in interest income of $0.5 million.

Total investment income was a gain of $4.2 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to a gain of $9.7 million in the first six months of 2021. Total investment income, net was $8.5 million and $7.9 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This represented an annualized investment yield of 1.9% on the average total investments, term deposits, and cash and cash equivalents in the first six months of 2022, compared to 2.0% in the corresponding period in 2021. The Company’s total investments and term deposits produced an investment yield of 2.2% in the first six months of 2022, compared to 2.4% in the corresponding period in 2021. The decline in total investment income was primarily attributable to a $3.1 million unrealized loss on investments in the first six months of 2022 compared to a $2.1 million unrealized gain on investments in the first six months of 2021 and a $0.7 million impairment provision on the Company’s fixed income portfolio, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $0.5 million.

Term deposits, cash and cash equivalents totaled $369.0 million at June 30, 2022, representing 40.7% of the Company’s total investments, term deposits and cash and cash equivalents, compared to $422.1 million at December 31, 2021, when it represented 46.2%.

** Earnout Shares are subject to vesting at stock prices ranging from $11.50 to $15.25, are entitled to dividends and voting rights, but are non-transferable by their holders until they vest. If the Earnout Shares do not vest on or prior to March 17, 2028, they will be cancelled by the Company. Restricted Share Awards were issued in 2022, 2021 and 2020 pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and beneficiaries are entitled to dividends and voting rights. However, the Restricted Share Awards are non-transferable by their holders until they vest as per the respective Restricted Share Award Agreements. As at June 30, 2022, the vesting conditions attached to both Earnout Shares and unvested Restricted Share Awards to employees have not been met, and as a result these shares were not included in the weighted average number of common shares for both basic and diluted earnings per share.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In presenting IGI’s results, management has included and discussed certain non-IFRS financial measures. We believe that these non-IFRS measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help to explain and enhance an understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with IFRS.

Core Operating Income

Core operating income measures the performance of our operations without the influence of after-tax gains or losses on investments and foreign currencies and other items as noted in the table below. We exclude these items from our calculation of core operating income because the amounts of these gains and losses are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, economic and other factors external to the Company and/or transactions or events that are typically not a recurring part of, and are largely independent of, our core underwriting activities and including them distorts the analysis of trends in our operations. We believe the reporting of core operating income enhances an understanding of our results by highlighting the underlying profitability of our core insurance operations. Our underwriting profitability is impacted by earned premiums, the adequacy of pricing, and the frequency and severity of losses. Over time, such profitability is also influenced by underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage the Company’s exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, IGI’s management of claims, use of reinsurance and the ability to manage the expense ratio, which the Company accomplishes through the management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses.

In addition to presenting profit for the period determined in accordance with IFRS, we believe that showing “core operating income” provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to analyze the Company’s results in a similar manner to the way in which Management analyzes the Company’s underlying business performance.

Core operating income is calculated by the addition or subtraction of certain line items reported in the “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income” from profit for the period and tax effecting each line item (resulting in each item being a non-IFRS measure), as illustrated in the table below:

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbour” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the business of IGI may differ from its actual results and, consequently, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “commitment,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release may include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, the outcome of our strategic initiatives, our expectations regarding pricing and other market conditions, and our growth prospects. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of IGI and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in demand for IGI’s services together with the possibility that IGI may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors globally and in the regions in which it operates; (2) competition, the ability of IGI to grow and manage growth profitably and IGI’s ability to retain its key employees; (3) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (4) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company; (5) the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and emerging variants; (6) the effects of the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom and others; (7) the inability to maintain the listing of the Company’s common shares or warrants on Nasdaq; (8) the inability of the Company to complete the proposed acquisition of EIO or the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition of EIO; and (9) other risks and uncertainties indicated in IGI’s filings with the SEC. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. In addition, forward-looking statements are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them and are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of IGI. There can be no assurance that IGI’s financial condition or results of operations will be consistent with those set forth in such forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
