"This was our first quarter of operations as a combined company with AmCo, and we are already seeing some of the scale and diversification benefits we expected from the merger," said John Forney, President & CEO of UPC Insurance. "Our team is working hard to make sure we realize all the upside inherent in this combination in the coming months and years."
Operating Return on Equity
Operating Return on Equity (see calculation below) is a ratio we calculate using non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the operating income for the most recent twelve months by the average shareholders’ equity for the most recent twelve months. Operating income is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that we calculate by excluding the effect of non-cash amortization of intangible assets, non-recurring expenses such as merger-related professional fees, and realized gains or losses on our investment portfolio from net income. In the opinion of the Company’s management, operating income, operating income per share and operating return on equity are meaningful indicators of our underwriting and operating results, since the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Internally,
the Company’s management uses operating income, operating income per share and operating return on equity to evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial targets on a consolidated basis. The following table reconciles operating return on equity to return on equity, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(2) Expense ratio, net is calculated as the sum of all operating expenses less interest expense relative to net premiums earned.
(3) Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, net and expense ratio, net.
(4) Underlying combined ratio, a measure that is not based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), is reconciled above to the combined ratio, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release can be found in the "Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" section, below.
(5) Included in both the expense ratio and the combined ratio is $18.1 million and $20.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $4.1 million and $4.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, of merger professional fees and amortization expense predominately associated with the AmCo merger. Excluding these additional expenses, the Company would have reported an underlying combined ratio of 72.3% and 78.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and 84.4% and 83.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
Quarterly Financial Results
Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $7.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.8 million, or $0.45 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to the increase in catastrophe losses for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016.
The Company's total gross written premium increased by $141.6 million, or 67.2%, to $352.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $210.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, primarily reflecting the Company's merger with AmCo Holdings Company (AmCo) on April 3, 2017, as well as organic growth in new and renewal business generated in the Company's Gulf and Florida regions. The breakdown of the quarter-over-quarter changes in both direct and assumed written premiums by region and gross written premium by line of business are shown in the table below.

(1) Each region is comprised of the following states: Gulf includes Hawaii, Louisiana and Texas, Northeast includes Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island, and Southeast includes Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
(2) Assumed premium written for 2017 includes commercial property business assumed from an unaffiliated insurer and 2016 premium assumed includes homeowners business from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation and the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.
Loss and LAE increased by $24.3 million, or 38.9%, to $86.9 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $62.6 million for the second quarter of 2016. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums decreased 0.3 points to 54.5% for the quarter, compared to 54.8% for the same period last year. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, the Company's gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the quarter would have been 25.4%, a decrease of 10.1 points from 35.5% during the second quarter of 2016.
Policy acquisition costs increased by $17.6 million, or 68.4%, to $43.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $25.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. These costs vary directly with changes in gross premiums earned and were generally consistent with the Company's growth in premium production and higher average market commission rates outside of Florida.
Operating expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 7.6%, to $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to increased costs related to the Company's ongoing growth.
General and administrative expenses increased by $16.7 million, or 145.1%, to $28.2 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to non-recurring merger expenses and amortization costs related to the merger with AmCo.

Reinsurance Costs as a % of Earned Premium
Excluding the Company's flood business, for which it cedes 100% of the risk of loss, reinsurance costs in the second quarter of 2017 were 37.1% of gross premiums earned compared to 27.8% of gross premiums earned for the second quarter of 2016. Ceded earned premiums related to the Company's quota share reinsurance program that launched on December 1, 2016 were $43.7 million or 8.0% of the 9.3% increase to reinsurance costs as a percentage of gross premiums earned in the current quarter compared to the second quarter last year. The remaining 1.3% increase is related to our catastrophe reinsurance program.
Investment Portfolio Highlights
The Company's cash and investment holdings totaled $1.0 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to $679.3 million at December 31, 2016. UPC Insurance's cash and investment holdings consist of investments in U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate debt and 100% investment grade money market instruments. Fixed maturities represented approximately 91.4% of total investments at June 30, 2017 with a modified duration of 3.8 years compared to 93.5% at December 31, 2016 and a modified duration of 3.7 years.
Book Value Analysis
Book value per share increased 11.1% from $11.15 at December 31, 2016, to $12.39 at June 30, 2017 and underlying book value per share increased 10.3% from $11.11 at December 31, 2016 to $12.25 at June 30, 2017. An increase in the Company's retained earnings, along with an increase in paid in capital as a result of the AmCo merger, drove the increase in our book value per share and underlying book value per share. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, as shown in the table below, also impacted our underlying book value per share.

Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Company today announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock outstanding, payable in cash on August 28, 2017 to shareholders of record on August 21, 2017.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We believe that investors' understanding of the Company'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 ceding commission income earned (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses, prior year development and ceding commission income earned related to our quota share reinsurance agreement from 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, losses from lines in run-off and prior year development. 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. Ceding commission income compensates the Company for expenses it incurs in generating the premium ceded under our quota share reinsurance agreement. 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 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 by subtracting current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from Loss and LAE. 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.
Net Operating Expense excluding the effects of ceding commission income earned, merger expenses, and amortization of intangible assets (underlying expense) is a non-GAAP measure which is computed by subtracting ceding income earned related to our quota share reinsurance agreement, merger expenses and amortization from operating expenses. Ceding commission income compensates the Company for expenses it incurs in generating the premium ceded under our quota share reinsurance agreement. Merger expenses are directly related to past mergers and are not reflective of current period operating performance. Similarly, amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired through merger and therefore the expense does not arise through normal operations. 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 net expense ratio. The underlying expense measure should not be considered a substitute for the net expense ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
Book value per share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (underlying book value per share), is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by dividing common shareholders' equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive income by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. We use the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. We believe the non-GAAP ratio is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic and financial factors which are not influenced by management. Book value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share, and does not reflect the recorded net worth of our business.
