HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE:HCI), a holding company with
operations in homeowners insurance, information technology
services, real estate, and reinsurance, reported net income of
$17.8 million, or $1.54 diluted earnings per share in the first
quarter of 2023, compared with net income of $2.8 million, or $0.09
diluted earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2022.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure which
excludes net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities) for
the first quarter of 2023 was $17.4 million, or $1.50 diluted
earnings per share, compared with adjusted net income of $5.5
million, or $0.34 diluted earnings per share, in the first quarter
of 2022. This press release includes an explanation of adjusted net
income as well as a reconciliation to net income and earnings per
share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (known as “GAAP”).
Management Commentary “We are
starting to see the benefits of the company’s underwriting and rate
actions as well as the bold leadership provided by the Florida
Legislature in 2022,” said HCI Group Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer Paresh Patel.
First Quarter 2023 Commentary
Consolidated gross premiums earned in the first quarter of 2023
increased to $180.1 million from $178.9 million in the first
quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher average
premium per policy offset by a decline in the number of policies in
force.
Premiums ceded for reinsurance increased to $70.5
million from $53.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Ceded
premiums represented 39.2% and 29.7% of gross premiums earned in
the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Net investment income increased to $17.7 million
from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase
included a gain of $8.9 million from the sale of two real estate
investment properties at Greenleaf. Also included in investment
income was interest income of $7.7 million, which increased from
$0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 reflecting higher yields
on fixed maturity securities, cash, and cash equivalents.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased to
$60.6 million from $72.7 million in the same period of 2022. Losses
and loss adjustment expenses as a percent of gross premiums earned
declined to 33.6% from 40.6% in the first quarter of 2022. The
decrease was driven by lower claims and litigation frequency in
Florida.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses
decreased to $22.7 million from $29.4 million in the same quarter
of 2022 and declined from 16.4% of gross premiums earned to 12.6%,
reflecting a higher mix of renewal policies and lower
commissions.
General and administrative personnel expenses
decreased to $13.5 million from $14.0 million for the first quarter
of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income is a Non-GAAP financial
measure that removes from net income of HCI's portion of the effect
of unrealized gains or losses on equity securities required to be
included in results of operations in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification 321. HCI Group believes net income without
the effect of volatility in equity prices more accurately depicts
operating results. This financial measurement is not recognized in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be viewed as an
alternative to GAAP measures of performance. A reconciliation of
