(2) Equity in earnings of Maui Jim and the related taxes were excluded from operating earnings per share in 2022 due to the sale of RLI’s investment in Maui Jim in the third quarter of 2022.

Highlights for the quarter included:

Underwriting income(1) of $41.2 million on a combined ratio(1) of 87.2.
21% increase in gross premiums written.
56% increase in net investment income.
Favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves, resulting in a $17.0 million net increase in underwriting income.
Losses from second quarter storms, resulting in a $15.5 million net decrease in underwriting income.
Book value per share of $29.65, an increase of 17% (inclusive of dividends) from year-end 2022.

“We are pleased to report an 87 combined ratio for the quarter and an 83 combined ratio year to date,” said RLI Corp. President & CEO Craig Kliethermes. “All three product segments contributed to our strong results. Our property segment continues to experience hard market conditions, which drove significant premium growth in the quarter. Casualty and surety segment premiums increased slightly, as product exits, market conditions and underwriting discipline moderated growth. Our profitability and growth in book value highlight the benefits of our diverse product portfolio and continued focus on responsible underwriting.”

Underwriting Income

RLI achieved $41.2 million of underwriting income in the second quarter of 2023 on an 87.2 combined ratio, compared to $56.0 million on an 80.2 combined ratio in 2022.

Results for both years include favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves, which resulted in a $17.0 million and $20.9 million net increase to underwriting income from 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other Income

Net investment income for the quarter increased 55.8% to $28.8 million, compared to the same period in 2022. The investment portfolio’s total return was 1.1% for the quarter and 3.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

RLI’s comprehensive earnings were $57.9 million for the quarter ($1.26 per share), compared to a comprehensive loss of $99.8 million ($2.20 per share) for the same quarter in 2022. In addition to net earnings, comprehensive earnings included after-tax unrealized losses from the fixed income portfolio, due to rising interest rates.

Dividends Paid in Second Quarter of 2023

On June 20, 2023, the company paid a regular quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share, a $0.01 increase over the prior quarter. RLI’s cumulative dividends total more than $761 million paid over the last five years.

Non-GAAP and Performance Measures

Management has included certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures in presenting the company’s results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures further explain the company’s results of operations and allow for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the company’s business. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, our definitions of these items may not be comparable to the definitions used by other companies.

Operating earnings and operating earnings per share (EPS) consist of our GAAP net earnings adjusted by net realized gains/(losses), net unrealized gains/(losses) on equity securities and taxes related thereto. Additionally, equity in earnings of Maui Jim and the related taxes were excluded from operating earnings and operating EPS for 2022 due to the sale of RLI’s investment in the third quarter of 2022. Net earnings and net earnings per share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to operating earnings and operating EPS. A reconciliation of the operating earnings and operating EPS to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the 2023 financial highlights below.

Underwriting income or profit represents the pretax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses from net premium earned, which are all GAAP financial measures. The combined ratio, which is derived from components of underwriting income, is a performance measure commonly used by property and casualty insurance companies and is calculated as the sum of loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses, divided by net premiums earned, which are all GAAP measures.

Other News

On July 11, 2023, RLI was named as one of the insurance industry’s top performing companies by Ward Benchmarking, a business unit of Aon, for the 33rd consecutive year. RLI is the only property & casualty insurance company to be recognized as a Ward’s 50® P&C Top Performer every year since the list’s inception in 1991.

At 10 a.m. central daylight time (CDT) tomorrow, July 25, 2023, RLI management will hold a conference call to discuss quarterly results with insurance industry analysts. Interested parties may listen to the discussion at https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/705943023.

Except for historical information, this news release may include forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) including, without limitation, statements reflecting our current expectations about the future performance of our company or our business segments or about future market conditions. These statements are subject to certain risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Various risk factors that could affect future results are listed in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022.
