Allied World Reports $93.8 Million Net Income in Second Quarter 2011 Despite Catastrophe Losses; 3.3% Quarterly Increase in Diluted Book Value Per Share
ZUG, Switzerland, August 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, AG (NYSE: AWH) today reported net income of $93.8 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $184.0 million, or $3.47 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $102.4 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, compared to net income of $317.7 million, or $5.98 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2010.
The company reported operating income of $44.2 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011 compared to operating income of $95.7 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to operating income of $157.0 million, or $2.96 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2010.
President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Carmilani commented, "Allied World's demonstrated track record of profitably managing our business through challenging markets was again on display this quarter. Despite continued industry-wide catastrophe losses, we have again contained our share of these losses as a percentage of equity well below the industry average. Simultaneously, we continue to build out our specialty insurance franchise highlighted by the 20% growth experienced in our U.S. insurance segment in the quarter. This segment continues to gain traction in targeted specialty lines due to our expansion efforts and new business initiatives over the last three years.
"During the quarter, the company's financial strength rating was upgraded to A 'Strong' by Standard & Poor's. We are gratified that our efforts in building a strong, well-controlled, profitable specialty insurance and reinsurance franchise have resulted in this upgrade."
Mr. Carmilani continued, "We remain excited about our pending merger of equals with Transatlantic and believe that the combination will create a truly global insurance and reinsurance franchise. Upon closing the merger in the fourth quarter, Allied World and Transatlantic will become TransAllied, operating with very strong financial strength ratings, enhanced competitive strength and a significant global presence. I am confident we are well positioned for continued success as we build a more formidable franchise with a record of success throughout all turns in the insurance and reinsurance market cycle."
Underwriting Results
Gross premiums written were $519.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, a 5.2% increase compared to $493.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gross premiums written totaled $1,080.3 million, an 8.2% increase compared to $998.0 million in the first six months of 2010. These increases were primarily due to the expansion of our global operating platforms and the introduction of new products.
Net premiums written were $395.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, a 7.0% increase compared to $369.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net premiums written totaled $876.7 million, a 9.2% increase compared to $803.1 million in the first six months of 2010.
The combined ratio was 97.4% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 87.0% in the second quarter of 2010. The loss and loss expense ratio was 66.4% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 55.7% in the second quarter of 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the company recorded net favorable reserve development on prior loss years of $55.2 million. This favorable reserve development and the impact of a commutation adjustment resulted in a benefit of 15.8 percentage points to the company's loss and loss expense ratio for the quarter. This compares to the second quarter of 2010, where the company recorded net favorable reserve development on prior loss years of $64.1 million, a benefit of 18.9 percentage points to the company's loss and loss expense ratio for that quarter. Absent these adjustments, the loss and loss expense ratio for the second quarter of 2011 was 82.2% compared to 74.6% for the second quarter of 2010. The second quarter 2011 loss and loss expense ratio was impacted by $67.5 million of net losses, or 19.0 percentage points, from U.S. weather-related events during the quarter and additional losses developing from first quarter catastrophes. These catastrophe losses were comprised of $5.0 million from our U.S. insurance segment, $30.5 million from our international insurance segment and $32.0 million from our reinsurance segment. The second quarter 2010 loss and loss expense ratio was impacted by losses of $30.0 million, or 8.9 percentage points, from major loss events during that quarter.
The company's expense ratio was 31.0% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 31.3% for the second quarter of 2010. The expense ratio was 31.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 31.0% in the first six months of 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting the company's results, management has included and discussed in this press release certain non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the company's results of operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the company's business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
"Operating income" is an internal performance measure used in the management of the company's operations and represents after-tax operational results excluding, as applicable, net realized investment gains or losses, net impairment charges recognized in earnings, impairment of intangible assets and foreign exchange gain or loss. The company excludes net realized investment gains or losses, net impairment charges recognized in earnings and net foreign exchange gain or loss from the calculation of operating income because the amount of these gains or losses is heavily influenced by and fluctuates in part according to the availability of market opportunities and other factors. The company excludes impairment of intangible assets as these are non-recurring charges. In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the company believes that showing operating income enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of the company's financial information to more easily analyze our results of operations and underlying business performance. Operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.
The company has included "diluted book value per share" because it takes into account the effect of dilutive securities; therefore, the company believes it is an important measure of calculating shareholder returns.
"Annualized net income return on average shareholders' equity" ("ROAE") is calculated using average shareholders' equity, excluding the average after tax unrealized gains (or losses) on investments. Unrealized gains (losses) on investments are primarily the result of interest rate and credit spread movements and the resultant impact on fixed income securities. Such gains (losses) are not related to management actions or operational performance, nor are they likely to be realized. Therefore, the company believes that excluding these unrealized gains (losses) provides a more consistent and useful measurement of operating performance, which supplements U.S. GAAP information. In calculating ROAE, the net income (loss) available to shareholders for the period is multiplied by the number of such periods in a calendar year in order to arrive at annualized net income (loss) available to shareholders. The company presents ROAE as a measure that is commonly recognized as a standard of performance by investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of its financial information.
"Annualized operating return on average shareholders' equity" is calculated using operating income (as defined above and annualized in the manner described for net income (loss) available to shareholders under ROAE above), and average shareholders' equity, excluding the average after tax unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Unrealized gains (losses) are excluded from equity for the reasons outlined in the annualized net income return on average shareholders' equity explanation above.
Reconciliations of these financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included in the attached tables.
