Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE: MIG) reported that fourth quarter net operating income, a non-GAAP measure, grew by 10.5% to $13.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $12.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008. Net income increased $8.7 million to $16.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $7.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008. Fourth quarter 2009 net income includes net after-tax realized gains of $2.9 million related to the sale of certain investment securities. This compares to after-tax realized losses of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to other than temporary impairments of certain preferred stocks, corporate bonds, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.
The fourth quarter 2009 GAAP combined ratio was 94.3%, compared to 91.8% for the fourth quarter of 2008. The loss ratio for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 60.6% compared to 59.5% for the fourth quarter of 2008. The fourth quarter 2009 loss ratio includes 5.3 percentage points of favorable prior year reserve development, compared to 4.5 percentage points of favorable prior year reserve development in the fourth quarter of 2008. Pre-tax favorable development on prior year accident reserves was $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The expense ratio for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 33.7% compared to 32.3% for the fourth quarter of 2008.
Fourth quarter 2009 gross written premium increased 32.1% to $182.8 million compared to $138.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase in gross written premium in the fourth quarter of 2009 was primarily due to programs initiated in 2008 and 2009.
Net commission and fee revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 declined 4.9% to $8.5 million compared to $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The decline was primarily the result of lower premium volume due to mandatory rate reductions and competition. Additionally, a program for which we previously provided policy administration services decided to perform those functions in-house.
Equity earnings of affiliates, net of tax, was $874,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009. This is related to a 2009 minority investment we made in an insurance company and related agency.
Commenting on the results, Meadowbrook President and Chief Executive Officer Robert S. Cubbin stated: "We are very pleased with our results for the year. Gross written premiums increased by more than 50%, net operating EPS of $0.93 per share exceeded our range of expectations and, in a competitive market, our accident year combined ratio held steady at 97.9%. In 2009, we integrated Century and continue to implement and recognize additional synergies. With a return on average equity of 11.2% in 2009, we are back on track for sustainable, double digit return on average equity results."
"We continue to work from a strong capital and liquidity position and our investment portfolio remains conservatively positioned. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we repurchased 1.6 million shares. Our Board authorized the repurchase of up to another 5 million shares, pursuant to a newly adopted share repurchase plan."
Full Year 2009 Overview
Net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased 37.9% to $53.5 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to $38.8 million, or $0.86 per diluted share in 2008. 2009 net income increased 92.2% to $52.7 million or $0.92 per share compared to $27.4 million or $0.61 per share in 2008. Our results for 2009 include $3.5 million of other than temporary impairment charges in our investment portfolio, compared to other than temporary impairment charges of $11.7 million in 2008. Offsetting the impairment charges in 2009 were $3.6 million in pre-tax realized gains recognized in the fourth quarter related to the sale of certain investment securities.
In 2009, gross written premiums increased $231.0 million, or 50.5%, to $688.7 million compared to $457.7 million in 2008. The increase is due to a full year of Century Insurance Group premiums, the further maturation of programs initiated in 2008 and new programs implemented in 2009. Excluding Century Insurance Group premiums, gross written premiums grew approximately 24% in 2009 compared to 2008.
Our year to date GAAP combined ratio for 2009 improved slightly to 92.6% compared to 93.3% for 2008. The loss ratio for 2009 was 60.7% compared to 62.0% for 2008. The expense ratio for 2009 was 31.9% compared to 31.3% for 2008. The 2009 combined ratio includes 0.7 points of extraordinary storm losses in the Midwest, and the 2008 combined ratio includes 2.3 points related to catastrophic storm losses from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Additionally, the 2009 combined ratio includes 5.3 points of favorable prior year development compared to 4.5 points of favorable prior year development in 2008. This continued favorable development is primarily attributable to our history of disciplined underwriting, controls over pricing, long-term loyal partners and strong claims management.
Other Matters
Shareholders' Equity:
At December 31, 2009, shareholders' equity was $502.9 million, or $9.06 per common share compared to $438.2 million, or $7.64 per common share, at December 31, 2008. The increase in shareholders' equity is due primarily to net income of $52.7 million and unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes of $29.1 million, partially offset by dividend payments of $5.2 million and share repurchases of $13.9 million.
The 18.6% increase in book value per share includes unrealized gains, net of tax of $0.52 per share since December 31, 2008.
At December 31, 2009, our debt-to-equity ratio was 26.0% compared to 32.2% at December 31, 2008. Our debt to equity ratio excluding debentures was 9.9% at December 31, 2009 compared to 13.8% at December 31, 2008.
Dividend and Share Repurchases:
On February 12, 2010, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share payable on April 5, 2010 to shareholders of record as of March 19, 2010.
We repurchased 1.6 million shares during the fourth quarter of 2009 at an average cost of $7.08 per share. For the year, we repurchased 1.9 million shares at an average cost of $7.18 per share. On February 12, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to another 5.0 million shares, pursuant to a newly adopted share repurchase plan. The expiration of the new share repurchase plan is February 2012.
Investment Portfolio:
At December 31, 2009, our pre-tax book yield was 4.4%, and our average reinvestment yield for 2009 was 4.7%. The duration of the portfolio was 4.4 years at December 31, 2009, compared to 4.5 years at December 31, 2008.
Net investment income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $12.9 million, up from $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. For the year, 2009 net investment income was $50.4 million compared to $36.6 million for 2008. The increase in net investment income is primarily related to investment income from the Century Insurance portfolio.
2010 Expectations
For 2010, we expect net operating income to be in a range of $48.5 million to $54.5 million. We expect gross written premium in a range of $790 million to $815 million, and the combined ratio should be in a range of 95.5% to 96.5%. Achieving results within these ranges would result in net operating income in a range of $0.85 to $0.95 per share.
Commenting on the 2010 outlook, Mr. Cubbin stated: "We are working from a position of strength going into 2010. We expect programs implemented in 2008 to further mature, and we anticipate growth from the regional workers' compensation initiatives we launched in 2009. We anticipate the market will remain competitive in 2010, and could look a lot like the second half of 2009--still competitive, but stabilizing. We have opportunities to grow profitably with adequate pricing, and we continue to work on implementing additional revenue enhancing synergies with Century."

believes this information is beneficial to reviewing the financial
statements. Net operating income is net income less realized gains
(losses) net of taxes associated with such gains (losses).
(3) While net operating income, excluding amortization expense, is a non-
GAAP disclosure, management believes this information is beneficial to
reviewing the financial statements. Management believes this information
is beneficial as amortization expense reflects an interim non-cash charge
and in the long-term cash earnings will reflect GAAP earnings as we
complete the amortization periods associated with current acquisitions.
Net operating income, excluding amortization expense, is net income less
realized gains (losses) net of taxes associated with such gains (losses)
and less amortization expense.

======= ======= ======= =======
(1) For segment reporting purposes, equity earnings of affiliates is
shown gross of tax. Equity earnings of affiliates relates to the
Company's proportionate share of its investment in an insurance company,
which management considers to be consistent with its specialty
insurance operations and, therefore, have included the respective
earnings of this affiliate within this segment.
(2) Adjustment to include pre-tax income from total fee-for-service
income is calculated by dividing total fee-for-service income by net
earned premiums.
(3) While the adjusted GAAP expense ratio is a non-GAAP disclosure,
management believes this information is beneficial to reviewing the
financial statements. The adjusted GAAP expense ratio is the GAAP
expense ratio, as reported, less the adjustment to include pre-tax
income from total fee-for-service income. Management believes this
information is beneficial as our GAAP expense ratio includes the impact
of the margin associated with our fee-based operations. If the profit
margin from our fee-for-service business is recognized as an offset to
our underwriting expense, a more realistic picture of our operating
efficiency emerges.
