"First quarter results reflect the aggressive de-risking and deleveraging activities we’ve taken in personal lines over the last 18 months, with gross earned premium down by 10% and net earned premium down by 30%," said Dan Peed, CEO of UPC Insurance. "However, while claims frequency was in line with expectations, claims severity was elevated due to inflation and excessive litigation not yet fully impacted by Senate Bill 76. With recent rate increases yet to earn through the portfolio, we experienced a first quarter underwriting loss in personal lines. Our commercial lines business performed well and continues to grow. We continue to take decisive corrective actions to reduce expenses, increase revenues, and execute on risk selection."

Quarterly Financial Results
Net loss attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2022 was $33.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $17.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in revenues for the quarter. This was driven by decreased gross written premiums, the details of which are described below. In addition, the Company's ceded premiums earned increased as a result of the reinsurance program changes described below. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by lower loss and LAE incurred, driven by lower unfavorable prior year loss development in 2022 related to both the Company's catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses. As such, the Company did not declare a dividend for the second quarter of 2022.
The Company's total gross written premium decreased by $32.2 million, or 10.3%, to $279.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $311.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was driven primarily by the transition of the Northeast business to Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (HCPCI) in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the Company experienced a decline in written premiums across the personal lines business, due to underwriting actions taken by the Company throughout 2021 and in the first quarter of 2022. The breakdown of the quarter-over-quarter changes in both direct written and assumed premiums by region and gross written premium by line of business are shown in the table below.

As of January 15, 2022, the Company is no longer writing in New Jersey, as the policies have transitioned to HCPCI. |
|
| (2) | Assumed premium written for 2022 and 2021 primarily included commercial property business assumed from unaffiliated insurers. |
Loss and LAE decreased by $24.4 million, or 21.1%, to $91.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $115.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums increased 11.3 points to 90.6% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 79.3% for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, the Company's gross underlying loss and LAE ratio for the first quarter of 2022 would have been 19.2%, an increase of 1.8 points from 17.4% during the first quarter of 2021.
Policy acquisition costs decreased by $14.8 million, or 36.3%, to $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $40.8 million for the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to a decrease in expenses such as premium taxes, policy administration fees and agent commissions, which fluctuate in conjunction with the quarter-over-quarter decrease in personal lines gross written premium. In addition, ceding commission income increased related to the Company's additional quota share reinsurance agreements. This was partially offset by increased external management fees incurred during the first quarter of 2022, as a result of an increased volume of commercial lines gross written premium.
Operating and underwriting expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 7.6%, to $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, due to lower agent related expenses as the Company has discontinued their agent incentive program in 2022.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat, increasing by $0.1 million, or 0.6%, to $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2021.

Total Ceding Ratio |

|
(59.1 |

The increase in this ratio was driven by the Company entering into two additional quota share agreements effective December 31, 2021. The first agreement is a structured quota share agreement, which has a cession rate of 25% and covers United Property and Casualty Insurance Company and Family Security Insurance Company, Inc.'s non-catastrophe losses on policies in-force at December 31, 2021 in Florida, Texas and Louisiana. The second agreement is a quota share agreement with HCPCI and TypTap Insurance Company effective December 31, 2021 through May 31, 2022, which provides 85% reinsurance coverage on in-force, new and renewal policies in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
In addition to the changes in the Company's quota share agreements, the Company also reduced the retention amounts related to their catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program for the 2021-2022 season, resulting in higher ceded premiums year over year but less risk if the named storm season would have been as active as the 2020-2021 season. These modifications have resulted in increases to the Company's ceding ratio quarter-over-quarter.
Investment Portfolio Highlights
The Company's cash, restricted cash and investment holdings decreased from $964.8 million at December 31, 2021 to $908.7 million at March 31, 2022. The Company's cash and investment holdings consist of investments in U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt and 100% investment grade money market instruments. Fixed maturities represented approximately 90.9% of total investments at March 31, 2022, compared to 92.2% at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, the Company's fixed maturity investments had a modified duration of 3.9 years, compared to 4.0 years at December 31, 2021.
At March 31, 2022, the Company's fixed maturity investment holdings decreased by $101.9 million, or 15.4% from December 31, 2021, in order to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements during the first quarter of 2022.
Book Value Analysis
Book value per common share decreased 17.2% from $7.20 at December 31, 2021, to $5.96 at March 31, 2022. Underlying book value per common share decreased 10.9% from $7.35 at December 31, 2021 to $6.55 at March 31, 2022. A decrease in the Company's retained earnings as the result of a net loss in the first quarter of 2022 drove the decrease in the Company's book value per share. As shown in the table below, removing the effect of AOCI increases the Company's book value per common share, as the Company experienced unfavorable market conditions for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company believes that investors' understanding of UPC Insurance's performance is enhanced by the Company's disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. The Company's methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Net loss excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net of tax (core loss) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by adding amortization, net of tax, to net income and subtracting realized gains (losses) on the Company's investment portfolio, net of tax, and unrealized gains (losses) on the Company's equity securities, net of tax, from net loss. Amortization expense is related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired through mergers and, therefore, the expense does not arise through normal operations. Investment portfolio gains (losses) and unrealized equity security gains (losses) vary independent of the Company's operations. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss. The core loss measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Core return on equity is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the core loss for the period by the average stockholders’ equity for the trailing twelve months (or one quarter of such average, in the case of quarterly periods). Core loss is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that is calculated by excluding from net loss the effect of non-cash amortization of intangible assets, unrealized gains or losses on the Company's equity security investments and net realized gains or losses on the Company's investment portfolio. In the opinion of the Company’s management, core loss, core loss per share and core return on equity are meaningful indicators to investors of the Company's underwriting and operating results, since the excluded items are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Internally, the Company’s management uses core loss, core loss per share and core return on equity to evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial targets on a consolidated basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on equity. The core return on equity measure should not be considered a substitute for return on equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year development from the combined ratio. The Company believes that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to highlight the trends in the Company's business that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development. Current year catastrophe losses cause the Company's loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their frequency of occurrence and severity and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE) is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from net loss and LAE. The Company uses underlying loss and LAE figures to analyze the Company's loss trends that may be impacted by current year catastrophe losses and prior year development on the Company's reserves. As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact on the Company's loss trends in a given period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components both separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss (underlying book value per common share), is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing common stockholders' equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. The Company uses the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss, in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic and financial factors that are not influenced by management. Book value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive loss, should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share and does not reflect the recorded net worth of the Company's business.

Statements made in this press release, or on the conference call identified above, and otherwise, that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements”. The Company believes these statements are based on reasonable estimates, assumptions and plans. However, if the estimates, assumptions, or plans underlying the forward-looking statements prove inaccurate or if other risks or uncertainties arise, actual results could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. These statements are made subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
