While the reinsurance market remains highly competitive, Maiden continues to focus on disciplined organic growth with existing clients and implementation of new business initiatives in the U.S. and Europe. In the quarter we benefited from continued strong investment income, profitable underwriting and lower expense relativities. Maiden’s gross premiums written grew by 3.6% versus the first quarter of 2015 with continued prospects for disciplined growth for the balance of the year.”
Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016
Maiden reported first quarter 2016 net operating earnings(1) of $28.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share compared with $26.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2015. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $27.2 million or $0.35 per diluted common share compared with $32.4 million or $0.41 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2015.
In the first quarter of 2016, gross premiums written increased 3.6% to $864.1 million from $834.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. The Diversified Reinsurance segment’s gross premiums written totaled $315.8 million, an increase of 3.4% versus the first quarter of 2015. The gross premium increase in the Diversified Reinsurance segment resulted from a combination of organic growth in the U.S. and new premiums from business development initiatives in Europe. In the AmTrust Reinsurance segment, gross premiums written increased by 3.7% to $548.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2015. The AmTrust Reinsurance segment growth rate was moderated by the commutation announced in the fourth quarter and the completion of AmTrust’s absorption of new business following the acquisition of Tower Group.
Net premiums written totaled $792.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 0.5% compared to the first quarter of 2015. The impact of the corporate retrocessional program initiated in January of 2015 was much greater in the first quarter of 2016 than in the first quarter of 2015.
Net premiums earned of $616.0 million increased 6.7% compared to the first quarter of 2015. In the Diversified Reinsurance segment, net premiums earned decreased 10.6% to $172.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2015. The AmTrust Reinsurance segment net earned premiums were up 15.4% to $443.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2015.
Net loss and loss adjustment expenses of $403.6 million were up 6.9% compared to the first quarter of 2015.
The loss ratio(8) of 65.0% was slightly higher than the 64.8% reported in the first quarter of 2015.
Commission and other acquisition expenses, increased 9.4% to $195.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to the same quarter a year ago. The expense ratio(11) increased to 33.9% for the first quarter of 2016 compared with 33.4% in the same quarter last year, reflecting changes in business mix. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $15.5 million, a 4.3% reduction compared with $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. The general and administrative expense ratio(10) was 2.5% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2.8% in the first quarter of 2015.
The combined ratio(12) for the first quarter of 2016 totaled 98.9% compared with 98.2% in the first quarter of 2015. Due to the volatility Maiden experienced in 2015, a higher booking ratio is reflected in the combined ratio relative to the same quarter last year. The Diversified Reinsurance segment combined ratio was 102.9% in the first quarter of 2016, up from 101.1% in the first quarter of 2015 due to the continued impact of commercial auto adverse development. The AmTrust Reinsurance segment reported a combined ratio of 95.3% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 94.6% in the first quarter of 2015.
Net investment income of $36.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 increased 28.5% compared to the first quarter of 2015. As of March 31, 2016, the average yield on the fixed income portfolio (excluding cash) is 3.41% with an average duration of 4.72 years. Cash and cash equivalents were $230.7 million at March 31, 2016 or $101.8 million lower than at year-end 2015.
Total assets increased 7.3% to $6.1 billion at March 31, 2016 compared to $5.7 billion at year-end 2015. Shareholders' equity was $1.5 billion, up 8.3% compared to December 31, 2015. Book value per common share was $13.23 at March 31, 2016 or 12.4% higher than at December 31, 2015.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Board of Directors declared dividends of $0.14 per common share, $0.515625 per Series A preference share, $0.90625 per Series B preference share and $ 0.544271 per Series C preference share.
