Mac Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to report another strong quarter for Palomar. When we began the year, we identified four strategic priorities for calendar 2022: produce strong premium growth, continue to deliver consistent and predictable earnings, monetize investments made over the course of 2021, and scale our organization. I am very happy to report that we made strong progress across all four initiatives during the first quarter. Selected highlights of Q1 2022 include: delivering a 65% gross written premium increase compared to the prior year period and record residential earthquake new business, the successful renewal of our aggregate reinsurance program that effectively places a floor on our adjusted return on equity of 14% for 2022, writing $30 million of managed written premium for PLMR-FRONT in its second quarter of operation, and achieving an expense ratio of 56.8%, which constituted a meaningful sequential and year-over-year improvement. The momentum of our first quarter results well positions Palomar to deliver sustained growth and profitability in the year ahead.”
Underwriting Results
Gross written premiums increased 65.0% to $170.9 million compared to $103.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, while net earned premiums increased 61.6% compared to the prior year’s first quarter.Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the first quarter were $15.0 million including $14.5 million of non-catastrophe attritional losses, and $0.5 million of unfavorable development on catastrophe losses from prior periods. The loss ratio for the quarter was 19.7%, comprised of a catastrophe loss ratio of 0.6%(1) and an non-catastrophe attritional loss ratio of 19.1%, compared to a loss ratio of negative 9.4% during the same period last year comprised of a catastrophe loss ratio of negative 20.5% and non-catastrophe attritional loss ratio of 11.1%.
Underwriting income(1) was $17.9 million resulting in a combined ratio of 76.5% compared to underwriting income of $18.6 million and a combined ratio of 60.4% during the same period last year. Excluding expenses related to transactions, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and catastrophe bonds, the Company’s adjusted combined ratio(1) was 72.1% in the first quarter compared to 53.3% during the same period last year. Non-catastrophe losses and loss ratio increased mainly due to the growth of lines of business subject to attritional losses, such as Specialty Homeowners, Flood, and Inland Marine.
When comparing our 2022 results to our first and second quarter results for 2021, it is important to remember the impact that Winter Storm Uri (“Uri”) had on our results during those periods. Uri resulted in negative losses and a negative loss ratio in the first quarter of 2021 offset by additional reinsurance expense, or ceded premium, in the first and second quarters of 2021.
Investment Results
Net investment income increased by 16.2% to $2.6 million compared to $2.2 million in the prior year’s first quarter. The year over year increase was primarily due to a higher average balance of investments held during the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to cash generated from operations. 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 4.17 years at March 31, 2022. Cash and invested assets totaled $533.2 million at March 31, 2022. During the first quarter, the Company recorded realized and unrealized losses of $1.3 million related to its investment portfolio as compared to realized and unrealized losses of $739 thousand in last year’s first quarter.Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 23.8% compared to 17.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the current quarter, the Company’s income tax rate was higher than the statutory rate due primarily to non-deductible executive compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 our income tax rate was lower than the statutory rate due primarily to the tax impact of the permanent component of employee stock option exercises.Stockholders’ Equity and Returns
Stockholders' equity was $380.4 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $394.2 million at December 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s annualized return on equity was 15.0% compared to 18.0% for the same period in the prior year while adjusted return on equity(1) was 18.1% compared to 20.8% for the same period in the prior year. During the current quarter, the Company repurchased 219,061 shares, or $13.0 million, of the Company’s previously announced $100 million share repurchase authorization.Full Year 2022 Outlook
For the full year 2022, the Company expects to achieve adjusted net income of $80 million to $85 million.Conference Call

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.

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.
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.

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.
