First Quarter Preliminary Highlights:
-- Total revenues of $523.5 million grew 80% year over year.
Revenue growth was driven primarily by the USA business segment
which generated meaningful premium growth, amplified by our
strategic decision to cease reinsuring its premiums to third
parties. Revenues grew year over year in the Sagicor Jamaica and
Sagicor Life business segments as well.
-- Group net income from continuing operations was $15.1
million. Net income from continuing operations in the comparable
period in 2018 benefited from certain one-time positive earnings
releases that did not recur in 2019. The first quarter is typically
impacted by seasonality in new business generation.
-- Total comprehensive income to shareholders from continuing
operations was $38.2 million as, in addition to net income from
continuing operations, the Company benefited from significant net
gains on investments measured at Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income.
Sagicor Group CEO Dodridge Miller said: "We are pleased with our
performance in Q1, which exceeded our internal targets and
delivered meaningful book value growth to our shareholders. We
remain confident in our strategic plan for this year and 2020 and
look forward to further engaging with our shareholders upon release
of our full quarterly results".
