State Auto Financial Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

  • Quarterly income of $0.08 per share
  • Quarterly net loss from operations1 of $0.61 per share
  • Quarterly GAAP combined ratio of 112.9
  • Quarterly SAP combined ratio of 112.3
  • Return on equity of 14.3%
  • Book value per share of $22.07

State Auto Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:STFC) today reported first quarter 2021 net income of $3.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $114.6 million, or $2.62 per diluted share, for the same 2020 period. Net loss from operations1 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021 was $0.61 versus $0.18 for the same 2020 period. STFC’s GAAP combined ratio for the first quarter 2021 was 112.9 compared to 107.2 for the same 2020 period.

SAP Operating Results

STFC's SAP combined ratio for the first quarter 2021 was 112.3 compared to 107.4 for the same 2020 period. Catastrophe losses and ALAE during the first quarter 2021 accounted for 20.1 points of the 78.8 total loss ratio points, or $71.6 million, versus 12.7 points of the 72.5 total loss ratio points, or $41.9 million, for the same period in 2020. The first quarter 2021 was impacted by winter storms Uri and Viola in Texas, which added 17.0 points to the first quarter loss and ALAE ratio. Approximately 75% of the first quarter 2021 catastrophe losses occurred within homeowners. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE during the first quarter 2021 included 6.9 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $24.6 million, versus 3.2 points of favorable development, or $10.5 million, for the same period in 2020.

Net written premium for the first quarter 2021 increased 3.5% compared to the same period in 2020. By insurance segment, net written premium for the commercial insurance segment increased 13.0% and the personal insurance segment decreased 3.2%. The increase in the commercial segment was primarily driven by new business growth and rate increases in commercial auto and small commercial package and new business growth in farm & ranch. The net written premium growth was partially offset by a decrease in net written premiums in workers’ compensation due to our 2020 decision to not renew and no longer write nursing home business, and a decrease in net written premiums in middle market commercial due to a decline in new business. The decrease in the personal segment was primarily due to a decline in new business in personal auto, partially offset by new business growth and rate increases in other personal and rate increases in homeowners.

Book Value and Return on Equity

STFC’s book value decreased to $22.07 per share as of March 31, 2021, compared to $23.00 on December 31, 2020. The decrease in book value was primarily driven by a decline in the fair market value of fixed income investments attributable to higher interest rates.

Return on stockholders’ equity for the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, was 14.3% compared to (8.7)% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2020.

STFC’s Chairman, President and CEO Mike LaRocco commented on the quarter as follows:

“Our first quarter was solid, with continued growth, expense ratio improvement and progress toward sustained profitability. Catastrophes, though, had a significant impact on our results.

“The winter weather in Texas was devastating for many of our customers. Our Claims and Risk Engineering (CARE) team, on the ground in Texas and remotely from locations throughout the country, delivered exceptional service to those affected. I couldn’t be more proud of their efforts.

“The Texas weather added 17.0 points to the first quarter 2021 SAP combined ratio of 112.3, primarily in the homeowners line. Commercial lines added another quarter of profitability while producing 13.0% net written premium growth. Personal lines net written premium decreased 3.2%, with a 125.9 combined ratio that included 30.1 points of catastrophe losses. Personal auto returned to profitability with a 98.9 combined ratio. The team worked hard over the last two years to return this line to profitability and we’re seeing the results of those actions.

“We are beginning to see improvement in our expense ratio having recently completed the five-year build phase of our State Auto Connect digital technology platform, which gives us the ability to efficiently add scale. Middle market commercial launched in its last state in April and workers’ compensation will continue its rollout through the end of 2021.

“During the first quarter, we delivered in the most important way: By taking care of our customers in their time of need. At the same time, we produced results that represented continued progress toward our goal of consistent, sustained profitable growth.”

1 Net earnings (loss) from operations, a non-GAAP financial measure which management believes is informative to Company management and investors, differs from GAAP net income (loss) only by the exclusion of net investment gain (loss), net of applicable taxes, on investment activity for the periods being reported. For STFC, this amounted to income of $0.69 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021 versus a loss of $2.44 per diluted share for the first quarter 2020.
