Continuing Operations(All comparisons vs. continuing
operations for the second quarter of 2023, unless noted
otherwise)
- Direct written premiums of $118.5
million compared to $121.6 million. This 2.6% reduction was driven
by Crop as a result of lower commodity prices impacting multi-peril

Farm (11.5%), driven by higher rate and insured values.
- Net earned premiums of $85.2
million, up 8.0%.
- Combined ratio of 113.7% versus
107.1%, driven by increased weather-related losses in Home and Farm
and unfavorable prior year reserve development in Non-Standard
Auto.

and net investment income of $2.5 million, up 31.2% driven by
higher fixed income reinvestment rates.

compared to ($0.12).

Management Commentary
“During the second quarter we closed on the
strategic sale of Westminster American Insurance Company,” said
Michael J. Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The
sale has enabled us to refocus our efforts and resources on our
core business and the actions necessary to deliver appropriate
returns to our shareholders. We continue to benefit from prior rate
actions, which were ahead of much of the industry and contributed
to strong growth in our Non-Standard Auto and Home and Farm
segments and improved profitability in Private Passenger
Auto.
The second quarter is generally a time of
volatile weather in the Upper Midwest, and our Home and Farm
segment was once again impacted by non-catastrophe weather-related
losses during the quarter. Overall, we continue to focus on
pursuing continued aggressive rate and underwriting actions, along
with other strategic measures to improve our overall risk profile
across all lines of business. We remain confident that these
actions will enable all segments to achieve profitable results over
time.”
