EXHIBIT 99.1 [MEADOWBROOK LOGO] MEADOWBROOK INSURANCE GROUP, INC. (NYSE - MIG) ================================================================================ CONTACT: ROBERT S. CUBBIN, PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, (248) 204-8031 KAREN M. SPAUN, SVP & CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, (248) 204-8178 JENNIFER LA, DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, (248) 204-8159 ================================================================================ MEADOWBROOK INSURANCE GROUP, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2004 NET OPERATING INCOME OF $3.3 MILLION EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHARE OF $0.11 UP FROM $0.09 IN 2003 SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN MAY 6, 2004 First Quarter Results: Meadowbrook Insurance Group (NYSE: MIG) reported net operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $3.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net operating income of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in 2003. The improvement in net operating income reflects the increase of net earned premium resulting from the controlled growth of premium in profitable programs written in 2003, continued rate increases, growth in agency commissions, and overall expense management. "Our consistent and improving earnings pattern continues," commented Robert S. Cubbin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Meadowbrook. "The net operating income for the first quarter met our expectations and is in line with the full year estimates outlined during the 2003 year-end review. Our management team remains committed to maintaining underwriting discipline and is focused on growing our profitable specialty program and fee-for-service businesses." During the quarter, gross written premium increased $12.3 million, or 17.8%, to $81.1 million from $68.8 million for the comparable period in 2003. This increase reflects the anticipated growth from premium rate increases, the conversion of existing controlled programs to the Company's underwriting subsidiary, the growth of existing programs coupled with the implementation of new programs with proven track records of profitability. Revenues: Revenues increased $20.2 million, or 45.5%, to $64.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $44.3 million for the comparable period in 2003. Net earned premium increased $22.3 million, or 81.5%, to $49.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $27.4 million a year ago. This increase reflects the earnings pattern of programs written in the last three quarters of 2003, which include the conversion of a controlled managed program to the PRESS RELEASE PAGE 2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company's insurance subsidiaries, the impact of the previously announced renewal rights contract, the implementation of a public entity excess-liability program, and the impact of an overall 13.6% rate increase achieved in 2003. As anticipated, net commissions and fees decreased $2.1 million, or 15.5%, to $11.3 million for the quarter. This decrease is primarily related to a reduction of $2.4 million in net fees from a managed program. These fees are now considered intercompany fees and, as such, are eliminated upon consolidation. Gross commissions and fees, before consolidation, increased $642,000, or 3.0%, to $22.0 million for the quarter. Net investment income increased $244,000, or 7.3%, to $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $3.4 million for the comparable period in 2003. Average invested assets increased $41.4 million, or 14.3%, to $331.1 million in 2004, from $289.6 million for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in average invested assets reflects cash flows from underwriting activities, growth in gross written premium during 2003 and 2004, and $9.7 million in net proceeds received in conjunction with the junior subordinated debentures issued on September 30, 2003. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average investment yield to 4.4%, compared to 4.6% for the comparable period in 2003. The current pre-tax book yield is 4.2%. The decrease in investment yield reflects accelerated prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and reinvestment of cash flows in municipal bonds and other securities in an interest rate environment where macro interest rates are still relatively low. Expenses: Incurred losses increased $15.3 million, or 89.2%, to $32.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $17.2 million for the comparable period in 2003. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was 70.2%, compared to 69.0% for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in the loss ratio reflects the impact of a $1.8 million increase in net ultimate loss estimates on prior accident years. This change relates to two specific claims in older accident years and a re-estimate of the ultimate losses in two single state programs. This increase in net ultimate loss estimates on prior accident years equals 0.9% of the Company's net loss and loss adjustment expense reserves of $192.0 million as of December 31, 2003 and was partially offset by continued rate increases and the growth of earned premium from profitable programs. Commenting on the calendar year loss ratio, Mr. Cubbin stated: "We remain focused on the fundamentals of our business. Prior year reserves have remained relatively stable. The current accident year results reflect year-over-year improvement and are consistent with our expectations." Salaries and employee benefits for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $876,000, or 7.3%, to $12.8 million, from $11.9 million for the comparable period in 2003, due primarily to merit increases and performance-based variable compensation. These increases were partially offset by a slight decrease in staffing levels. Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses increased $3.8 million, or 101.3%, to $7.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $3.8 million for the comparable period in 2003. The GAAP expense ratio was 31.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to 36.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in the expense ratio reflects an overall improvement in gross commissions in relation to an increased net earned premium base and a decrease in insurance related assessments. Other administrative expenses decreased $456,000, or 6.4%, to $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $7.1 million for the comparable period in 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in bad debt expense which was partially offset by an increase in accrued policyholder dividends. PRESS RELEASE PAGE 3 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest expense increased $78,000, or 32.9%, to $315,000 for the quarter, from $237,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Interest expense increased $136,000 related to the junior subordinated debentures that were issued on September 30, 2003. Partially offsetting this increase was a reduction in interest expense of $58,000, or 24.5%, to $179,000 in the first quarter of 2004 from $237,000 for the comparable period in 2003, associated with the Company's term loan and line of credit. This decrease reflects a lower average outstanding balance of $17.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $26.8 million for the comparable period in 2003 and an increase in the effective interest rate from 3.5% for the first quarter of 2003, to 4.1% for the comparable period of 2004. The increase in the effective interest rate is a result of the increase in the underlying Eurocurrency based rate. At March 31, 2004, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 14.4%, compared to 15.7% at December 31, 2003. Other Matters: Shareholders' equity increased to $160.3 million, or $5.52 per common share, at March 31, 2004, compared to $155.1 million, or $5.34 per common share, at December 31, 2003. The increase in shareholders' equity reflects year-to-date net income and unrealized appreciation of $1.8 million in the Company's investment portfolio. On April 29, 2004, the Company issued $13.0 million of senior notes to an institutional investor in a pooled transaction. The Company received a total of $12.6 million in net proceeds, after the deduction of approximately $390,000 of issuance costs associated with the notes. The notes have a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus 4.0%, and mature in 30 years. The proceeds will be used to support future premium growth through contributions to the surplus of its insurance company subsidiaries and other general corporate purposes. Statutory surplus decreased in the quarter to $98.4 million at March 31, 2004 from $99.9 million at December 31, 2003. This decrease is primarily the result of the growth in written premium and the up-front expensing of acquisition costs. Cash flow provided by operations was $16.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to $12.8 million in 2003. This increase in positive cash flow primarily reflects growth in written premium and increased earnings.
