2012 Fourth Quarter
UPC Insurance reported total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, of $37.9 million, a 43% increase from $26.5 million reported in the prior year period. The strong growth was primarily due to an increase in net premiums earned to $34.2 million, from $24.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The growth in net premiums earned for the quarter was driven by continued growth in new business in Florida and other states as well as exceptional retention of renewal business. Net investment income, realized gains and other revenues increased to $3.7 million for the quarter compared to $1.6 million in the prior year quarter.
The Company realized gains from its investment portfolio of $2.0 million during the quarter as part of a repositioning of the portfolio towards shorter overall duration. UPC Insurance's overarching investment philosophy is focused on a fixed income portfolio that minimizes risk with low average durations, high credit quality and prudent asset allocation across highly liquid sectors.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) increased to $19.0 million for the quarter from $9.5 million during the same period of last year. The increase during the quarter was largely due to catastrophe losses incurred from super storm Sandy and re-estimation of reserves and development related to prior accident years as shown below:

Additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release is in the "Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" section of this document.
During the fourth quarter, the Company implemented new loss reserving practices designed to strengthen UPC Insurance's approach to claim estimation and adjudication. An extensive review of all open and pending claim inventories by the Company's New V.P. of Claims included various upward and downward changes in estimates, but resulted in net case reserve strengthening of approximately $1.3 million during the quarter. The balance of the adverse development experienced for the quarter related primarily to new and re-opened claims in the 2010 and 2011 accident years.
Policy acquisition costs increased to $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 from $7.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. These costs vary directly with premiums earned and as a percentage of gross premiums earned, were up slightly from 15.8% in the prior year to 16.5% in the current quarter due to higher commissions paid on new and renewal business outside of Florida.
Operating expenses increased to $3.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, from $1.1 million during the same period of last year due to the non-recurring assessment levied by the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA) of approximately $1.7 million. Rate filings have been approved and implemented that will allow UPC Insurance to fully recoup this amount from policyholders during 2013 and 2014.
General and administrative expenses increased to $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, from $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 as a result of the Company's efforts to strengthen its management team and expansion into new states. Overall, the Company's net expense ratio decreased for both the quarter and the year after backing out the effects of the FIGA assessment.
2012 Fiscal Year
Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, increased 36%, to $131.2 million, compared to $96.4 million for the prior year period. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by a 35% increase in net premiums earned to $122.0 million, from $90.1 million during the same period of last year. Net investment income and other revenues increased to $9.3 million for the year-to-date period, from $6.3 million during the same period of last year driven primarily by $2.1 million in realized gains and increased policy fee income.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses increased to $58.4 million for the full year 2012, from $38.9 million for the same period last year. While prior year development did have a significant impact on the fourth quarter, the reserve development for the entire year ended December 31, 2012, was $0.7 million.

1 Defined as the total sum we expect to pay for fully developed losses and loss adjusting expenses (i.e. paid losses, incurred losses and incurred but not reported losses) divided by earned house years.
Policy acquisition costs increased 7.8 million, or 27%, to $36.9 million for the year, compared to $29.1 million for the same period last year. These costs vary directly with premiums earned and as a percentage of gross premiums earned, were up slightly from 16.1% in 2011 to 16.3% in the current year due to higher commissions paid on new and renewal business outside of Florida.
Operating expenses increased to $8.6 million for the year-to-date period, from $5.1 million during the same period of last year. Excluding the non-recurring FIGA assessment expensed in the fourth quarter of 2012, operating expenses were unchanged from 2011 at 5.7% of net premiums earned.
General and administrative expenses increased 2.1 million to 11.7 million compared to 9.7 million a year ago due primarily to an increase in salaries and related expenses to support the Company's growth.
Reinsurance Costs
Excluding the Company's flood business, which it cedes 100% of the risk of loss, reinsurance costs in the fourth quarter of 2012 were 42% of gross premiums earned compared to 47% of gross premiums earned for the fourth quarter of 2011. Reinsurance costs for the year were 43% of gross premiums earned compared to 47% of gross premiums earned for the same period in 2011.
Balance Sheet Highlights
UPC Insurance's cash and investment holdings totaled $223.4 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $165.9 million at December 31, 2011. UPC Insurance's cash and investment holdings consist primarily of investments in high-quality money market instruments, U.S. Government and agency securities and high-quality corporate debt. Fixed maturities represented approximately 98% and 97% of total investments at December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Management Comments
John Forney, Chief Executive Officer of UPC Insurance, stated, “2012 was a momentous year for UPC Insurance. We grew policies in force and revenues by over 30%, increased net income 20%, delivered return on equity over 16% despite several cat events during the year, brought on board four new executives to round out a world-class management team, and completed a successful public offering that launched us onto the NASDAQ. That record speaks for itself. We are gratified at the strong support we have received from investors, the independent agent community, policyholders, regulators, and reinsurers during 2012, and we are singularly focused on executing our growth strategy and delivering results for each of these constituencies in 2013.”
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We believe that investors' understanding of UPC Insurance's performance is enhanced by our disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. Our methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses, reserve development and FIGA assessment (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between four GAAP operating ratios: the combined ratio, the effect of current year catastrophe losses on the combined ratio, the effect of prior year development on the combined ratio and the effect of the FIGA assessment on the combined ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors and it is used by management to reveal the trends in our business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses, prior year development and assessments. Current year catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. FIGA assessments primarily relate to amounts paid to the Florida
Insurance Guaranty Association to cover claims paid by the association to policyholders from insolvent insurance companies. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. The most direct comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
Net Loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and reserve development (underlying Loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure which is computed as the difference between loss and LAE, current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development. We use underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze our loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on our reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on our loss trend in a given period. The most direct comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net losses and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
Consolidated net loss ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses, reserve development (underlying loss ratio) is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between three GAAP operating ratios: the consolidated net loss ratio, the effect of current year catastrophe losses on the loss ratio, and the effect of prior year development on the loss ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors and it is used by management to reveal the trends in our consolidated net loss ratio that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on our consolidated net loss ratio in a given period. The most direct comparable GAAP ratio is our net consolidated Loss and LAE ratio. The underlying loss ratio should not be considered as a substitute for net consolidated loss ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
