Total revenues in the third quarter of 2014 were $40.6 million, up 24.8 percent from $32.5 million in the third quarter of 2013, which was primarily due to increases in premium earned and ceding fees. Adjusted net income was $7.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $5.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. Net income was $7.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014, which is flat year over year. The third quarter 2014 increase was driven by continued growth in both business segments. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Program Services Segment

Total revenues from the Program Services segment in the third quarter of 2014 were $12.2 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 38.1 percent, from the third quarter of 2013. Ceding fees increased by $3.4 million, or 38.3 percent, to $12.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2013.  The increase in ceding fees was primarily due to an increase in gross earned premium related to the year over year improvement from two sources. First, one significant program experienced growth in gross written premium in 2014.  Second, another significant program was added in mid-2013.  The earnings for this program had not yet reached the normal run-rate as of September 30, 2013. Reflecting these events, gross written premium grew by $38.0 million, or 17.4 percent, to $257.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $219.2 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Lender Services Segment

Total revenues from the Lender Services segment in the third quarter of 2014 were $26.3 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 20.9 percent, from the third quarter of 2013.  Premium earned grew by $4.7 million, or 22.3 percent, to $25.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $20.9 million in the third quarter of 2013.  Of the $4.7 million year over year increase, $2.2 million is related to the amendment of the CUNA Mutual alliance. Lender Services premium increases were driven primarily by rising automobile sales, higher average automobile loan balances and increasing credit availability.

Losses and LAE increased by $2.2 million, or 26.5 percent, to $10.4 million for third quarter of 2014 from $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2013, which was primarily a result of higher earned premium. The net loss ratio increased to 40.7 percent in the third quarter of 2014 from 39.4 percent in the third quarter of 2013, due to an increase in claims volume and an increase in claims severity. Typically, the number of loans insured rises as credit becomes more readily available. A strengthening economy, an aging automobile fleet, and easier access to credit have contributed to an increase in vehicle sales, resulting in higher loan balances upon which the Company pays claims.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $972,000, or 7.0 percent, to $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to stock-based compensation expense incurred in 2014. The Company did not have stock-based compensation expense in 2013.  Offering-related expenses of $1.1 million in the third quarter ended

September 30, 2014 are non-recurring expenses associated with the private placement of the Company’s stock.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Adjusted net income is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it reflects the following adjustments to net income, which is the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP: the pro forma provision for income taxes as if the Company had been treated as a C Corporation for each period presented, and the exclusion (net of tax benefit) of the increase in the Company’s deferred tax asset as a result of the conversion to C Corporation status, the amount of founder special compensation and the non-recurring offering-related expenses and contract modification expense related to the amendment to our alliance agreement with CUNA Mutual.  Management believes this measure is helpful to investors because it provides comparability in evaluating core financial performance between periods.

(1)         Upon the completion of the private placement, our parent company’s status as a Subchapter S corporation terminated and our consolidated income became fully subject to U.S. federal income taxes.  This adjustment represents estimated income taxes as if the Company had been treated as a C Corporation for each period presented. The estimated tax was calculated assuming the Company’s blended statutory federal and state income tax rates of 38.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 38.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

(2)         As a result of the Company’s conversion to a C Corporation, the deferred tax asset increased by approximately $14.5 million primarily due to the effects of eliminating deferred tax balances on the insurance subsidiaries related to intercompany transactions. This excludes the tax effect related to contract modification expense as discussed in note (4) below.

(3)         Founder special compensation, offering-related expenses, and contract modification expense are shown net of the estimated tax benefit for each period presented.  The estimated tax was calculated assuming the Company’s blended statutory federal and state income tax rates of 38.8% and 38.1% for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(4)         In connection with the recent amendment to the alliance agreement with CUNA Mutual, we agreed to pay CUNA Mutual $17.8 million.  As a result, we recorded contract modification expense of $17.8 million, or $11.0 million net of tax benefit.

Investment Portfolio

The Company’s balance sheet reflects low financial leverage with only $52 million of Trust Preferred debt.  This debt has limited covenants and is interest only until the mid-2030’s. The

Company’s goodwill or other intangibles represented approximately $7 million at September 30, 2014.

State National’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed income securities, the majority of which have investment grade rating with short duration of approximately four years and are laddered to allow for new funds to reinvest annually as rates change.  Most of our reserves, which consist mainly of short duration liabilities, are ceded to reinsurers.

“Our value proposition to clients in both Program Services and Lender Services is to take the complexity out of insurance,” added Ledbetter.  “At State National, we operate a very capital efficient business whereby approximately 70 percent of our adjusted pre-tax income from our two primary business segments, exclusive of our Corporate segment, comes from fees. This business model produces attractive returns on equity. Becoming a publicly-traded company was the result of hard work by many dedicated people within our organization. We are thankful to our investors, employees and our outside advisory firms for helping make this a successful transition.”
