来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 05 8月 2021 16:20:00 America/New_York
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE:HCI), a holding company with operations in homeowners insurance, software development and real estate, reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 - Financial Results
Net income for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $3.8 million or $0.24 diluted earnings per share compared with $8.9 million or $1.08 diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities) for the quarter was $2.7 million or $0.11 diluted earnings per share compared with $6.8 million or $0.86 diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2020. This press release includes an explanation of adjusted net income as well as a reconciliation to net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (known as “GAAP”).Consolidated gross written premiums of $185.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 were up 7.6% from $171.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was due primarily to a quota share arrangement with United and the continued growth of TypTap.
Consolidated gross premiums earned of $139.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 were up 29.3% from $107.8 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by the growth in Homeowners Choice gross premiums earned from $89.4 million to $100.4 million and the growth of TypTap gross premiums earned from $18.4 million to $39.0 million.
Premiums ceded for reinsurance for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $46.4 million from $34.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the growth in both TypTap and Homeowners Choice and represented 33.3% and 31.9%, respectively, of gross premiums earned.
Net investment income increased to $2.6 million from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2020. This increase was due to an increase in income from limited partnership and real estate investments, offset by a decrease in interest income from fixed-maturity security investments.
Net realized investment gains increased to $2.6 million from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily due to net gains from selling equity securities.
Net unrealized investment gains were $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $2.9 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the sales of equity securities with aggregate net gains during the second quarter.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $55.9 million compared with $39.8 million in the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to growth in gross premiums earned related to the quota share arrangement with United and the growth in TypTap.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses were $23.2 million compared with $13.0 million in the same quarter of 2020. The increase relates to the amortization of increased costs associated with the quota share arrangement with United and the growth of TypTap.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 - Financial Results
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $10.7 million or $0.98 diluted earnings per share compared with $9.5 million or $1.23 diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net premiums earned of $45.8 million, a $14.0 million increase in income from the company’s investment portfolio, offset by a $33.7 million increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses and a $21.4 million increase in policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses.Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities) for the six-month period was $9.8 million or $0.87 diluted earnings per share compared with $10.9 million or $1.41 diluted earnings per share in the same period of 2020. An explanation of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliations to the applicable GAAP numbers accompany this press release.
Consolidated gross written premiums for the six months increased 25.1% to $310.8 million in 2021 from $248.4 million in 2020. The increase was due primarily to a quota share arrangement with United and the continued growth of TypTap.
Consolidated gross premiums earned increased to $270.4 million from $200.2 million in the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a quota share arrangement with United and the growth of TypTap’s business.
Premiums ceded were $89.5 million or 33.1% of gross premiums earned compared with $65.1 million or 32.5% of gross premiums earned during the same period in 2020. The increase was attributable to the growth in both TypTap and Homeowners Choice business.
Net investment income was $7.2 million compared with $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $5.8 million increase was primarily due to of losses from limited partnership investments in 2020 due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and a net gain of $2.8 million recognized in 2021 for a real estate investment legal settlement.
Net unrealized investment gains for the period were $1.2 million compared with net unrealized losses of $1.9 million in the same period in 2020, reflecting a deterioration in the fair value of equity securities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $101.7 million and $67.9 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the losses attributable to a quota share arrangement with United and to the growth in gross premiums earned for TypTap.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses were $46.2 million compared with $24.8 million in the same period in 2020. The increase relates to the amortization of increased costs associated with a quota share arrangement with United and the growth of TypTap.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income is a Non-GAAP financial measure that removes from net income the effect of unrealized gains or losses on equity securities required to be included in results of operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 321. HCI Group believes net income without the effect of volatility in equity prices more accurately depicts operating results. This financial measurement is not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Non-GAAP Adjusted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share to Non-GAAP Adjusted diluted earnings per share is provided below.
