• Direct written premiums of $102.4 million, up 16.2% compared to the prior year quarter and full year direct written premiums of $418.4 million, up 7.4% compared to prior year. Growth in both periods was driven by Non-Standard Auto and Private Passenger Auto.

Combined ratio of 103.4% for full year 2023 versus 119.9% for the prior year, driven by lower catastrophe losses in Home and Farm and lower loss frequency in Private Passenger Auto, partially offset by reserve strengthening in the Non-Standard Auto and Commercial segments to address elevated loss costs due to the inflationary environment.

Management Commentary

“In the fourth quarter, we continued to see the impact of our underwriting actions and rate increases taken during the year, with not only improvement over the prior year, but also a return to underwriting profitability,” said Michael J. Alexander, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “Our improved results were driven by our Private Passenger Auto and Home and Farm segments, which benefited from favorable weather conditions and the significant underwriting and rate actions implemented during the year. We were able to balance this profitability with continued growth during the quarter, with all segments reporting higher year-over-year direct written premiums. Our high-quality investment portfolio once again positively contributed to our earnings, driven by higher reinvestment rates earned throughout the year in our fixed income portfolio.

“Throughout 2023, we made notable progress toward our goal of returning the company to profitability while improving our overall risk profile. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the outlook for our business and our ability to achieve appropriate returns for our shareholders into the future.”
