(NYSE:MIG) Second Quarter 2009 Highlights and Overview: -- Net operating income, a non-GAAP measure, increased 39.8% to $11.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share on 57.5 million shares, in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $8.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share on 37.1 million shares, in the second quarter of 2008. -- Net income increased 38.0% to $11.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $8.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008. -- Combined ratio was 92.7% in the second quarter of 2009, compared to 90.5% for the second quarter of 2008. -- Book value per share increased to $8.31 per share compared to $7.98 per share at March 31, 2009 and $7.64 per share at December 31, 2008. Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE:MIG) reported that second quarter net operating income, a non-GAAP measure, grew by 39.8% to $11.9 million or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $8.5 million or $0.23 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2008. Net income increased by 38.0% to $11.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter 2009 net income included after-tax realized losses of $287,000, or approximately $0.01 per diluted share, due to other than temporary impairments on investments in certain asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and preferred stocks. The second quarter 2009 GAAP combined ratio was 92.7%, compared to 90.5% for the second quarter of 2008. The loss ratio for the second quarter of 2009 was 59.4%, compared to 61.2% for the second quarter of 2008. The second quarter 2009 loss ratio includes 5.0 percentage points of favorable prior year reserve development, compared to 3.5 percentage points of favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2008. The expense ratio for the second quarter of 2009 was 33.3%, compared to 29.3% in the second quarter of 2008. The increase in the expense ratio is due primarily to higher commission levels and internal costs associated with our excess and surplus lines operations and a planned for reduction in reinsurance ceding commissions due to restructuring of those agreements. Second quarter 2009 gross written premium increased 66.3% to $156.9 million, compared to $94.4 million in the second quarter of 2008. As expected, net commission and fee revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was down to $8.4 million compared to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. Additionally, there was a pre-tax loss, excluding amortization, on fee-for-service business of $378,000 compared to $1.7 million of pre-tax income, excluding amortization in the second quarter of 2008. Commenting on the results, Meadowbrook President and Chief Executive Officer Robert S. Cubbin stated: "Throughout the first half of 2009 we have focused on price adequacy and selective growth with strict adherence to underwriting discipline, and as a result, our performance in the second quarter and first half of the year has positioned us to achieve results at the high end of the range we previously set of $46 million to $52 million of net operating income. This generates operating EPS at the high end of the range of $0.80 to $0.90 per share. Growth in gross written premium was 66.3% for the quarter, and we continue to be optimistic about our prospects for revenue growth. We will continue to be selective in our approach to premium growth, as our markets have remained competitive. In certain classes of business, rate decreases that we saw in the recent past are moderating, but in our opinion the market is stabilizing, not hardening. We are pleased with our combined ratio results for the second quarter, which includes favorable development on prior year accident year loss reserves in our workers' compensation, general liability and auto liability lines. We expected that the revenue and income from our commission and fee-for-service business would decline in 2009 because a fee-based client decided to assume the administration of the program in-house. Also, management fees and commissions based on premium have declined because of the competitive market and poor economic conditions." Commenting on the integration progress of the ProCentury merger, Mr. Cubbin stated, "A year after the merger, it is gratifying to see that the opportunities we contemplated during due diligence are coming to fruition and producing real results. We have moved past the hypotheses and rationale for the merger and we are working from a largely integrated back office, product and distribution platform. We are leveraging fixed costs, we have created reinsurance purchasing efficiencies and we can cite specific examples of revenue enhancing initiatives that would not have otherwise been possible. We have expanded the size, expertise and scope of our organization, and because we have distinct capabilities in both the admitted and surplus lines markets, we have unique tools to manage through cycles: during softer cycles we can lean on the stability of our admitted and program business, and we have the flexibility in our surplus lines business to act quickly and opportunistically when the market firms." Year to Date June 30, 2009 Overview Net operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased 81.1% to $28.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted share on 57.5 million shares, compared to $15.6 million, or $0.42 per diluted share on 37.1 million shares for the same period in 2008. Net income for the first half of 2009 increased 62.5% to $25.2 million or $0.44 per share compared to $15.5 million or $0.42 per share for the same period in 2008. Our 2009 year to date results include $3.1 million of other than temporary impairment charges on our investment portfolio. For the first six months of 2009, pre-tax fee-for-service income, excluding amortization, declined by 71.4% to $1.2 million from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The year to date GAAP combined ratio for 2009 improved to 90.2% compared to 92.1% for the year to date period ended June 30, 2008. The loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2009 improved to 58.7% compared to 61.5% for the same period in 2008. The expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 31.5% compared to 30.6% for same period in 2008. The year to date 2009 combined ratio includes 5.7 points of favorable prior year development compared to 3.9 points of favorable prior year development for year to date 2008. Other Matters Shareholders' Equity: At June 30, 2009, shareholders' equity was $477.4 million, or $8.31 per common share compared to $438.2 million, or $7.64 per common share, at December 31, 2008. Common shares outstanding at June 30, 2009 were 57,447,707 compared to 37,021,032 at June 30, 2008. The increase in outstanding shares is primarily due to the issuance of 21.1 million shares, or $122.7 million of new equity in conjunction with the ProCentury merger on July 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, our debt-to-equity ratio was 28.6% compared to 32.2% at December 31, 2008. Our debt to equity ratio excluding debentures was 11.6% at June 30, 2009 compared to 13.8% at December 31, 2008. Dividend and Share Repurchases: On July 31, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share payable on August 31, 2009 to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2009. We did not repurchase any shares during the second quarter of 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we have available up to 2,200,000 shares remaining under the share repurchase authorization. Investment Portfolio: At June 30, 2009 our pre-tax book yield was 4.6% compared to 4.3% at June 30, 2008. The duration of the portfolio was 4.1 years at June 30, 2009, compared to 4.5 years at December 31, 2008 and 3.9 years at June 30, 2008. The average pre-tax book yield on new purchases during the second quarter of 2009 was 5.1%. Net investment income for the second quarter of 2009 was $12.4 million, up from $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 net investment income was $24.7 million compared to $14.1 million for the same periods in 2008. The increases in net investment income for the quarter and year to date periods are primarily related to investment income from the Century Insurance portfolio. A- (Excellent) A.M. Best Rating Affirmed: On June 24, 2009, A.M. Best Company affirmed the financial strength rating of A- (Excellent) for Meadowbrook Insurance Group and its pooled members. The rating reflects Meadowbrook's sustained operating profitability, its supportive capitalization and management's expertise in both the specialty program business and alternative risk market. 2009 Expectations We anticipate continued growth throughout the year, and while the level of rate decreases has moderated, we continue to operate in a very competitive market and difficult economic environment. Therefore, we now believe a better estimate of full year gross written premium to be between $695.0 million and $715.0 million. Our outlook for net operating income has not changed, and we continue to expect net operating income at the higher end of a range of $46.0 million to $52.0 million, or $0.80 to $0.90 per share. Commenting on the 2009 outlook, Mr. Cubbin stated: "We expect to continue to grow profitably, and maintaining price adequacy requires us to grow selectively. A competitive insurance market and a poor economy have created downward pressure on revenue growth. Therefore, we now anticipate gross written premium in a range of $695.0 million to $715.0 million. We continue to expect that the higher end of our range of net operating income is achievable."

The adjusted GAAP expense ratio is the GAAP expense ratio, as reported, less the adjustment to include pre-tax income from total fee-for-service income. Management believes this information is beneficial as our GAAP expense ratio includes the impact of the margin associated with our fee-based operations. If the profit margin from our fee-for-service business is recognized as an offset to our underwriting expense, a more realistic picture of our operating efficiency emerges.
