Management Commentary
Kingstone’s Chairman and CEO, Barry Goldstein, stated, “We reported strong growth in the second quarter, highlighted by a 30.4% increase in direct premiums written in our personal lines business. We increased policies-in-force by 23.7%. Personal lines writings, which include homeowners and dwelling fire policies, increased by 30.4% as compared to the same period last year.  For the quarter, personal lines represents 70.3% of our total direct written premiums, up from 68.7% in the prior year period. We also reported improved underwriting profitability with a net combined ratio of 70.8%, primarily as a result of favorable weather conditions, significant improvement in the loss ratio from our commercial auto lines and the elimination of the effect that catastrophes had on our contingent ceding commissions.”

Kingstone’s Chief Financial Officer, Victor Brodsky, added, “We are also seeing strong growth in commercial lines and livery physical damage lines of business, which increased 45.7% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter last year.”

2014 Second Quarter and First Half Financial Review

Net Income:
Net income increased to $1.4 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net income of $68,000 in the prior-year period.  The increase was largely due to the effect that growth in direct premiums written had on net premiums earned for the period, the elimination of the effects that Superstorm Sandy had on our ceding commission revenue in the prior year period and significant improvements in the net loss ratio.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income increased to $1.7 million from $259,000 in the prior year period.

Earnings per share (‘EPS’):
Kingstone reported EPS of $0.18 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.02 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014, EPS was $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $0.07 in the prior year period.  EPS for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 were based on 7.4 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to 3.9 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the prior year period.   The increase in total shares outstanding was due to the completion of the Company’s public offering in December 2013.

Direct Premiums Written, Net Premiums Written and Net Premiums Earned:
Direct premiums written for the second quarter 2014 were $20.3 million, an increase of 27.5% from $15.9 million in the prior year period. For six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s direct premiums written were $36.6 million, compared to $28.7 million in the prior year period.

Net written premiums totaled $8.5 million during three month period ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 41.8% from $6.0 million in the prior-year period. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, net written premiums increased to $15.1 million, compared to $11.0 million in the prior year period.

Net premiums earned for second quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $6.4 million, compared to $4.7 million in second quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net premiums earned totaled $12.4 million during the six months period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $9.3 million in the prior year period.

Net Combined Ratio:
Kingstone’s net combined ratio significantly improved for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 to 70.8% compared to 101.9% for the prior year period.

Net Loss: The net loss ratio during the three month period ended June 30, 2014 was 46.8% compared to 69.3% in the three month period ended June 30, 2013. The decrease of 22.5 percentage points in the second quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by improved results from our commercial auto line of business, which is not subject to a quota share treaty and a reduction in catastrophe related claims.

Net Underwriting Expense: The net underwriting expense ratio was 24.0% in the three month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 32.6% in the prior year period.  The decrease is from increased ceding commission revenue due the elimination of the effects that Superstorm Sandy had on contingent ceding commission in 2013 and operational efficiencies generated from increased scale as the Company generated more net premiums earned during the current period.

Balance Sheet / Investment Portfolio
Kingstone’s cash and investment holdings were $62.4 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $57.6 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company’s investment holdings are comprised primarily of high-quality corporate and municipal securities, with fixed income investments representing approximately 83.1% of total investments at June 30, 2014, and 81.9% at December 31, 2013.  The Company’s effective duration on its fixed-income portfolio is 6.1 years.

Net investment income increased 64.4% to $452,000 in the second quarter of 2014 from $275,000 in the prior year period, largely due to an increase in cash and invested assets.  This increase resulted primarily from the deployment of the net proceeds of $18,804,000 received from the Company’s December 2013 public offering and increased operating cash flows. Net investment income increased 48.9% to $831,000 during the first half of 2014, compared to $558,000 during the first half of fiscal 2013.

The tax equivalent investment yield, excluding cash, was 4.86% and 5.56% at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The reduction was due to the increase in the value of the portfolio, as reported in changes to other comprehensive income.

Book Value
The Company’s book value per share at June 30, 2014 was $5.18, an increase of 5.5% compared to $4.91 at December 31, 2013, and up 26.7% from $4.09 at June 30, 2013.

Outlook for 2014
Mr. Brodsky continued, “We feel that the second half of 2014 will continue to show direct written premium growth, and the change in our reinsurance structure will have a significant impact on net premiums written and earnings beginning in the third quarter.  We were able to leverage a strengthened financial position that allowed Kingstone to retain a much larger share of the premiums we write, while not sacrificing the conservative underwriting standards that we feel provide sustainability in the long-term.”

Mr. Goldstein continued, “While we impose a maximum net written premium to capital ratio of 1.5, at June 30, 2014 this amount was .88. This leaves us considerable room to grow our premiums and still stay within our comfort zone.”

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Direct premiums written - represents the total premiums charged on policies issued by the Company during the respective fiscal period.

Net premiums written - represents direct premiums written less premiums ceded to reinsurers.

Net operating income - is net income exclusive of realized investment gains, net of tax.  Net income is the GAAP measure most closely comparable to net operating income.  Management uses net operating income, along with other measures, to gauge the Company’s performance and evaluate results, which can be skewed when including realized investment gains, which may vary significantly between periods.  Net operating income is provided as supplemental information, is not a substitute for net income and does not reflect the Company’s overall profitability.
