The earnings call revealed a mixed performance with strong growth in core business and InsurTech segments, but was overshadowed by significant losses from California wildfires, resulting in a net loss and decreased book value per share. While the company maintains a positive outlook on future premium growth, elevated expenses remain a concern.
Company Guidance
During the Global Indemnity Group's first quarter 2025 earnings call, several key metrics were highlighted. The company reported a net loss of $4 million, primarily due to $15.6 million in pre-tax losses from the California wildfires, which equated to a $12.2 million after-tax impact. Excluding these wildfire losses, net income would have been $8.2 million, down from $11.4 million in the same period last year. The combined ratio, excluding wildfire impacts, was 94.8%, slightly better than the previous year's 94.9%. The company's book value per share decreased from $49.98 at year-end to $47.85 by March 31, driven by comprehensive losses, dividends, and stock compensation. Investment income rose by 2% to $14.8 million, with a current book yield of 4.5% on the fixed income portfolio. Gross written premiums grew by 6% to $98.7 million, with a 16% increase when excluding terminated products. The company aims for a long-term expense ratio of 37%, although it currently stands at 40% due to strategic investments in Project Manifest and staff expansion. Despite the setbacks, the outlook for 2025 remains positive, with expectations for at least 10% premium growth and improved underwriting performance for the remainder of the year.
