"Premium growth was strong in Q1 across our book of business in both
personal lines and commercial lines, and we wrote our first policies in
Journey, our newly-formed AM Best-rated carrier," said John Forney,
President & CEO of UPC Insurance. "While elevated levels of both cat and
noncat losses hurt our operating results in Q1, I am confident that our
earnings power is better than it has ever been, and we are looking
forward to the remainder of 2019."

decrease to ceded earned premium and an $8.3 million decrease in
policy acquisition costs, which reduced other revenue and removed

Quarterly Financial Results
Net income attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2019 was
$9.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $8.4 million, or
$0.20 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in
net income was primarily due to an increase in net premiums earned and a
net unrealized gain on equity securities, offset by an increase in loss
and LAE expenses during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first
quarter of 2018.
The Company's total gross written premium increased by $38.9 million, or
13.9%, to $318.6 million for the first quarter of 2019, from $279.6
million for the first quarter of 2018, primarily reflecting organic
growth in new and renewal business generated in all regions. The
breakdown of the quarter-over-quarter changes in both direct written and
assumed premiums by region and gross written premium by line of business
are shown in the table below.

Loss and LAE increased by $27.3 million, or 35.3%, to $104.5 million for
the first quarter of 2019, from $77.2 million for the first quarter of
2018. Loss and LAE expense as a percentage of net earned premiums
increased 10.3 points to 57.8% for the first quarter of 2019, compared
to 47.5% for the first quarter of 2018. Excluding catastrophe losses and
reserve development, the Company's gross underlying loss and LAE ratio
for the first quarter of 2019 would have been 28.0%, an increase of 2.3
points from 25.7% during the first quarter of 2018.
Policy acquisition costs decreased by $1.9 million, or 3.3%, to $55.2
million for the first quarter of 2019, from $57.1 million for the first
quarter of 2018. The primary driver of the decrease in costs was the
change in presentation of ceding commission income as an offset to
policy acquisition costs, partially offset by the managing general agent
commissions related to AmCo Holding Company (AmCo) subsidiary's
commercial premiums and agent commissions.
Operating and underwriting expenses increased by $1.9 million, or 22.8%,
to $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2019, from $8.3 million for
the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to increased agent incentive
costs from our new contingent commission program.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.7 million, or 24.6%,
to $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2019, from $23.3 million for
the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to amortization costs related
to the merger with AmCo which were fully amortized during the first
quarter of 2018. This was offset by the increase in salaries due to the
increased number of personnel.

Reinsurance Costs as a Percentage of Earned Premium
Excluding the Company's business for which it cedes 100% of the risk of
loss, reinsurance costs in the first quarter of 2019 were 35.6% of gross
premiums earned, compared to 39.9% of gross premiums earned for the
first quarter of 2018. The decrease in this ratio was driven primarily
by an increase in gross premiums earned in the first quarter of 2019,
compared to 2018.
Investment Portfolio Highlights
The Company's cash and investment holdings stayed consistent at $1.1
billion both at March 31, 2019 and 2018. UPC Insurance's cash and
investment holdings consist of investments in U.S. government and agency
securities, corporate debt and 100% investment grade money market
instruments. Fixed maturities represented approximately 89.1% of total
investments at March 31, 2019, compared to 90.6% at December 31, 2018.
At March 31, 2019 our fixed maturity investments had a modified duration
of 3.4 years, compared to 3.5 years at December 31, 2018.
Book Value Analysis
Book value per share increased 3.5% from $12.10 at December 31, 2018, to
$12.52 at March 31, 2019. Underlying book value per share increased 1.4%
from $12.31 at December 31, 2018, to $12.49 at March 31, 2019. An
increase in the Company's retained earnings, drove the increase in our
book value per share. The effect of the increase in accumulated other
comprehensive income, as shown in the table below, also positively
impacted our book value per share.

Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.06 per
share quarterly cash dividend payable on May 21, 2019, to stockholders
of record on May 14, 2019.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We believe that investors' understanding of UPC Insurance's performance
is enhanced by our disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. Our
methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by
other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Core return on equity is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using
non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the core income for the
period by the average stockholders’ equity for the trailing twelve
months (or one quarter of such average, in the case of quarterly
periods). Core income is an after-tax non-GAAP measure that is
calculated by excluding from net income the effect of non-cash
amortization of intangible assets, unrealized gains or losses on the
Company's equity security investments and net realized gains or losses
on the Company's investment portfolio. In the opinion of the Company’s
management, core income, core income per share and core return on equity
are meaningful indicators to investors of the Company's underwriting and
operating results, since the excluded items are not necessarily
indicative of operating trends. Internally, the Company’s management
uses core income, core income per share and core return on equity to
evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial
targets on a consolidated basis. The most directly comparable GAAP
measure is return on equity. The core return on equity measure should
not be considered a substitute for return on equity and does not reflect
the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Combined ratio excluding the effects of current year catastrophe
losses, prior year reserve development and ceding commission income
earned (underlying combined ratio) is a non-GAAP measure, which is
computed by subtracting the effect of current year catastrophe losses,
prior year development, and ceding commission income earned related to
the Company's quota share reinsurance agreement from the combined ratio.
The Company believes that this ratio is useful to investors and it is
used by management to highlight the trends in the Company's business
that may be obscured by current year catastrophe losses, prior year
development, and ceding commission income earned. Current year
catastrophe losses cause the Company's loss trends to vary significantly
between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and
magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio.
Prior year development is caused by unexpected loss development on
historical reserves. Ceding commission income compensates the Company
for expenses it incurs in generating the premium ceded under the
Company's quota share reinsurance agreement. The Company believes it is
useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the
aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined
ratio should not be considered as a substitute for the combined ratio
and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Net loss and LAE excluding the effects of current year catastrophe
losses and prior year reserve development (underlying loss and LAE)
is a non-GAAP measure which is computed by subtracting the effect of
current year catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development from
net loss and LAE. The Company uses underlying loss and LAE figures to
analyze the Company's loss trends that may be impacted by current year
catastrophe losses and prior year development on the Company's reserves.
As discussed previously, these two items can have a significant impact
on the Company's loss trends in a given period. The Company believes it
is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in
the aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most
directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss and LAE. The underlying
loss and LAE measure should not be considered a substitute for net loss
and LAE and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's
business.
Operating expenses excluding the effects of ceding commission income
earned (underlying expense) is a non-GAAP measure which is computed
by subtracting ceding income earned related to the Company's quota share
reinsurance agreement. Ceding commission income compensates the Company
for expenses it incurs in generating the premium ceded under the
Company's quota share reinsurance agreement. The Company believes it is
useful for investors to evaluate this component separately and in the
aggregate when reviewing the Company's performance. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure is operating expenses. The underlying expense
measure should not be considered a substitute for operating expenses and
does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business.
Net income excluding the effects of amortization of intangible
assets, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on equity
securities, net of tax (core income) is a non-GAAP measure which is
computed by adding amortization, net of tax, to net income and
subtracting realized gains (losses) on our investment portfolio, net of
tax, and unrealized gains (losses) on our equity securities, net of tax,
from net income. Amortization expense is related to the amortization of
intangible assets acquired through mergers and therefore the expense
does not arise through normal operations. Investment portfolio gains
(losses) and unrealized equity security gains (losses) vary independent
of our operations. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate
these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our
performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income.
The core income measure should not be considered a substitute for net
income and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
Book value per common share, excluding the impact of accumulated
other comprehensive income (underlying book value per common share), is
a non-GAAP measure which is computed by dividing common stockholders'
equity after excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, by total
common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares
outstanding. We use the trend in book value per common share, excluding
the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, in conjunction
with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in
net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. We believe
the non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the
effect of interest rates that can fluctuate significantly from period to
period and are generally driven by economic and financial factors which
are not influenced by management. Book value per common share is the
most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share,
excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income, should
not be considered a substitute for book value per common share, and does
not reflect the recorded net worth of our business.
