Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Second quarter 2022 net loss was $87.9 million, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change was primarily attributed to a net $90.8 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The goodwill impairment charge was recorded following an interim valuation review and principally stemmed the decline in the fair value of common stock.
Adjusted net income[1] was $2.9 million, up from an adjusted net loss of $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income growth primarily stemmed from an $11.8 million, or 8.0% increase in net earned premium which exceeded the 2.1% increase in losses and expenses. over the prior year quarter.
Gross premiums written were $365.3 million, up 8.2% from $337.7 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting a 4.6% rate related increase in Florida and 12.1% growth in other states. Rate increases continued to meaningfully benefit written premiums throughout the book of business.
Premiums-in-force were $1.2 billion, up 3.4% from second quarter 2021, while policies-in-force were down 7.3%, with the variance stemming primarily from rate increases and a small policy in-force increase outside of Florida.
Gross premiums earned were $296.2 million, up 3.7% from $285.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase reflects higher gross premiums written over the last twelve months, primarily related to higher rates on a smaller book of business.
The ceded premium ratio was 46.6%, down 2.1 points from 48.7% in the prior year quarter. The decrease primarily stems from gross premiums earned growth outpacing ceded premium growth. While the higher cost of the June 2022 catastrophe excess of loss program is reflected in these results, the second quarter of 2021 included significant reinstatement premium on the severe convective storm reinsurance contract, which drove up the ceded premium ratio.
The net loss ratio was 64.1%, down 4.7 points from 68.8% in the prior year quarter. The decrease is primarily due to a lower attritional loss ratio, partly offset by less favorable loss development.
The net expense ratio was 35.3%, down 1.1 point from 36.4% in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a lower PAC expense ratio.
The net combined ratio was 99.4%, down 5.8 points from 105.2% in the prior year quarter. The improvement was due to a lower net loss ratio, coupled with a small decrease in the net expense ratio, as described above.

Book Value Analysis
Book value per share decreased to $6.80 at June 30, 2022, down 47.0% from fourth quarter 2021. The decrease from December 31, 2021 is attributable to the goodwill impairment and year-to-date operating losses discussed above, as well as unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale fixed income securities portfolio. The unrealized losses were due to the sharp decline in bond prices during 2022 as a result of the higher interest rate environment. The Company’s fixed income portfolio average credit rating is A+ with a duration of 3.6 years at June 30, 2022. Adjusted book value per common share[1] decreased to $8.35 at June 30, 2022, down from fourth quarter 2021 adjusted book value per share[1] of $12.99.
