PMA Capital Reports Continued Improvement in Core Operations, Third Quarter Loss After Charge
Blue Bell, PA, November 1, 2007 -- PMA Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: PMACA) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2007. PMA Capital reported a net loss of $8.8 million, or 28 cents per share, for the third quarter of 2007, which included an after-tax charge of $14.3 million, or 45 cents per share, for prior year loss development at the Company’s Run-off Operations. For the same period in 2006, PMA Capital had net income of $1.5 million, or 5 cents per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $5.0 million, or 15 cents per share, compared to net income of $3.2 million, or 10 cents per diluted share, for the same period last year.
The Company noted significant operating achievements at The PMA Insurance Group:
· | Third quarter pre-tax operating income increased to $12.4 million, compared to $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2006; |
· | Both third quarter and year-to-date combined ratios were below 100%; |
· | Direct premiums written, excluding production from our partnership with Midwest Insurance Companies (“Midwest”), were up 8% year-to-date and 6% quarter-to-date; |
· | New business written, excluding Midwest production, increased 28% to $91.5 million year-to-date and 26% to $26.8 million in the third quarter, compared to the same periods last year; and |
· | Workers’ compensation renewal retention rates improved to 89% for the quarter and to 87% for the first nine months of 2007. |
At PMA Management Corp., service revenues increased by 16% in the quarter to $7.6 million and by 10% to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same periods last year. The Company continues to see organic growth opportunities for its fee-based business and expects growth to continue from this service-focused aspect of the company.
Vincent T. Donnelly, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “While disappointed with the run-off charge, we are pleased to report another quarter of positive momentum, with revenue growth and improving operating results at The PMA Insurance Group, and continued growth in our fee-based business. During the third quarter, we completed our periodic comprehensive loss reserve review. Our reserves at The PMA Insurance Group continue to develop as we expected. During the review of our Run-off Operations, however, we observed increased loss development from a limited number of ceding
companies on our claims-made general liability business, primarily related to professional liability claims. This increase in 2007 loss trends caused us to determine that reserve levels, primarily for accident years 2001 to 2003, needed to be increased by $22 million. The claims-made general liability book of business represents about 20% of the gross reserves at the Run-off Operations segment. The remaining book of run-off claims continues to perform in line with our expectations.”
On October 1, 2007, PMA Capital announced the acquisition of Midlands Management Corporation (“Midlands”), an Oklahoma City-based managing general agent, program administrator and provider of third party administrator (“TPA”) services. Midlands had revenues of $30 million in 2006.
“We are excited about our business combination with Midlands. This is a natural extension of our business model and builds upon our core competencies in TPA services and workers’ compensation insurance,” said Mr. Donnelly. “There is very little overlap in business between Midlands and PMA, which creates enhanced opportunities for the cross-selling of services in both companies. We expect the transaction to be immediately accretive, adding 7 to 10 cents per share to our 2008 earnings,” Mr. Donnelly concluded.
Operating income (loss), which the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding realized gains and losses, was an operating loss of $9.4 million, or 29 cents per share, for the quarter, compared to operating income of $2.0 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2006. The operating loss for the first nine months of 2007 was $4.2 million, or 13 cents per share, compared to operating income of $3.8 million, or 12 cents per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2006.
The net results included the following after-tax net realized gains (losses):

Segment Operating Results
Operating income (loss), which we define as net income (loss) under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) excluding net realized investment gains and losses, is the financial performance measure used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate and assess the results of our insurance businesses because (i) net realized investment gains and losses are unpredictable and not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments and (ii) in many instances, decisions to buy and sell securities are made at the holding company level, and such decisions result in net realized gains and losses that do not relate to the operations of the individual segments. Operating income (loss) does not replace net income (loss) as the GAAP measure of our consolidated results of operations.
The following is a reconciliation of our segment operating results and operating income (loss) to GAAP net income (loss).

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, we expect to report the combined operating results of Midlands and PMA Management Corp. in a new reporting segment within our consolidated results of operations.
The PMA Insurance Group
The PMA Insurance Group reported pre-tax operating income of $12.4 million for the third quarter, compared to $8.4 million for the same period last year. Year-to-date pre-tax operating income was $32.5 million, compared to $23.2 million for the first nine months of 2006. The increases in both periods were due to improved underwriting results and increased investment income.
Direct premiums written were $146.7 million for the third quarter of 2007, up from $127.5 million for the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, direct premiums written increased to $418.8 million, compared to $347.5 million for the same period last year. Included in direct premiums written for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 were $13.7 million and $47.0 million of California workers’ compensation business produced under our partnership with Midwest, compared to $2.1 million for the same periods last year. We wrote $39.2 million of new business in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $23.3 million during the same period last year. Our year-to-date new business increased to $137.2 million, compared to $73.5 million for the first nine months of 2006. Included in new business for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 were $12.4 million and $45.7 million of the Midwest business, compared to $2.1 million for the same periods last year. Our partnership with Midwest became effective September 1, 2006. Our renewal retention rate on existing workers’ compensation accounts was 89% for the third quarter of 2007, compared to 88% for the same period in 2006, while our renewal retention rate for the first nine months of 2007 was 87%, up from 85% for the comparable period last year.
Net premiums written increased to $116.3 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $107.8 million in the same period last year. Year-to-date net premiums written increased to $324.0 million, compared to $306.8 million during the same period in 2006. Ceded premiums written increased for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 primarily due to our cession of the California workers’ compensation premiums written under our partnership with Midwest.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, the combined ratios on a GAAP basis were 97.3% and 99.0%, compared to 101.0% and 101.4% for the same periods last year. These improvements primarily
reflected lower loss and LAE and acquisition expense ratios, partially offset by higher policyholders’ dividend ratios. The year-to-date combined ratio was also impacted by an improved operating expense ratio.
The improved loss and LAE ratios for both periods were primarily due to lower current accident year loss and LAE ratios, compared to 2006. While our underwriting criteria remained consistent in 2007, our current accident year loss and LAE ratios benefited from changes in workers’ compensation products selected by our insureds and a reduced amount of integrated disability and assumed premiums in 2007. Pricing changes coupled with payroll inflation for rate sensitive workers’ compensation business were slightly below overall estimated loss trends. We estimated our medical cost inflation to be 8% during the first nine months of 2007, compared to our estimate of 8.5% through the first nine months of 2006. We expect that medical cost inflation will continue to be a significant component of our overall loss experience.
The policyholders’ dividend ratios were higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 than in the prior year periods. The prior year periods reflected slightly higher than expected losses which resulted in lower than expected dividends on participating products where the policyholders may receive a dividend based, to a large extent, on their loss experience.
Fees earned under our partnership with Midwest reduced the 2007 acquisition expense ratios by 80 and 70 basis points for the quarter and year-to-date periods. Controllable expenses, which include salaries, benefits and other headcount-related expenses, grew by 3% in the first nine months of 2007, compared to the 8% growth rate in direct premiums written.
Revenues from our TPA business at PMA Management Corp., which are included in other revenues, increased to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $6.6 million in the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, TPA revenues increased $2.0 million to $22.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2006.
Net investment income increased to $9.6 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $9.0 million in the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of 2007, net investment income increased $2.7 million to $29.0 million, compared to the first nine months of 2006. The improvements in 2007 were due primarily to higher yields on an increased invested asset base.
Run-off Operations
Our Run-off Operations, consisting of our former reinsurance and excess and surplus lines businesses, had pre-tax operating losses of $22.0 million and $23.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to pre-tax operating income of $174,000 and $763,000 for the same periods last year. Results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 included a pre-tax charge of $22 million for prior year loss development at the Run-off Operations. The charge was primarily related to increased loss development from a limited number of ceding companies on its claims-made general liability business, primarily related to professional liability claims from accident years 2001 to 2003.
Net investment income and operating expenses continue to decline as we run-off this business. Net investment income decreased to $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2007, from $7.3 million during the same period last year, due to a reduction in average invested assets of approximately $175 million, or 56%.
Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other segment, which includes primarily corporate expenses and debt service, recorded net expenses of $4.9 million during the third quarter of 2007, compared to $5.0 million during the same period last year. Net expenses were $15.3 million during the first nine months of 2007, which decreased from $17.3 million for the same period in 2006. The improvement for the first nine months was primarily due to lower interest expense. The lower interest expense resulted from a lower level of debt outstanding in 2007, compared to last year.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $2.7 billion as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Shareholders’ equity was $407.1 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $419.1 million as of December 31, 2006. Book value per share decreased 8 cents during 2007 to $12.75 as of September 30, 2007. The decreases in both shareholders’ equity and book value per share were primarily due to the net loss. Book value per share benefited from the positive impact of share repurchases. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was also impacted by share repurchases made during 2007.
In May 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of our Class A Common Stock. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, we repurchased 245,586 and 827,142 shares at a total cost of $2.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Decisions regarding share repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions and an evaluation of the costs and benefits associated with alternative uses of capital.

At September 30, 2007, we had $50.9 million in cash and short-term investments at the holding company and its non-regulated subsidiaries. On October 1, 2007, the holding company paid $23.2 million in cash for the acquisition of Midlands, which included $3.4 million for net worth. The ultimate purchase price for the stock, which could range from $22.8 million to $44.5 million, will be based on Midlands’ ability to achieve earnings growth for its business over the next four years. The Company expects to be able to pay most of any future earn-out payments through cash generated from Midlands’ operations.
The PMA Insurance Group had statutory capital and surplus of $339.8 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $321.2 million as of December 31, 2006. The PMA Insurance Group has the ability to pay $26.5 million in dividends during 2007 without the prior approval of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. The statutory capital and surplus of PMA Capital Insurance Company (“PMACIC”), PMA Capital Corporation’s wholly-owned run-off reinsurance subsidiary, was $58.0 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $121.6 million as of December 31, 2006. The reduction in PMACIC’s statutory capital and surplus was due primarily to its extraordinary dividend payment of $37.5 million to PMA Capital in April 2007 and its 2007 statutory net loss. The adverse development cover we have at PMACIC reduced the statutory effect of the third quarter reserve charge to $14.3 million. The Company intends to commute the adverse development cover in the fourth quarter of 2007. If the adverse development cover is commuted, statutory capital will be reduced by approximately $7 million.

(1) | Operating income (loss), which is GAAP net income (loss) excluding net realized investment gains and losses, is the financial performance measure used by our management and our Board of Directors to evaluate and assess the results of our insurance businesses because (i) net realized investment gains and losses are unpredictable and not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance and (ii) in many instances, decisions to buy and sell securities are made at the holding company level, and such decisions result in net realized gains and losses that do not relate to the operations of the individual segments. Operating income (loss) does not replace net income (loss) as the GAAP measure of our consolidated results of operations. |
