Highlights for the quarter included:

  • Underwriting income(1) of $40.7 million on a combined ratio(1) of 89.6.
  • 13% increase in gross premiums written.
  • 15% increase in net investment income.
  • Favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves resulted in a $18.1 million net increase in underwriting income.
  • Losses from Hurricanes Beryl and Helene, resulting in a $32.7 million net decrease in underwriting income.
  • Book value per share of $38.17, an increase of 26% (inclusive of dividends) from year-end 2023.

“Our primary focus has been to assist customers affected by recent hurricanes," said RLI Corp. President & CEO Craig Kliethermes. “When catastrophes occur, we quickly deploy our claim experts to assess damage and help policyholders begin recovering. Despite the storm activity in the third quarter, we continued to find opportunities for balanced top line growth across our portfolio. Our diversified business model, sound risk selection and disciplined underwriting resulted in a solid 90 combined ratio. I want to thank all RLI associates for their commitment to maintaining our financial strength and ensuring RLI remains a stable partner for our customers.”

Underwriting Income

RLI achieved $40.7 million of underwriting income in the third quarter of 2024 on an 89.6 combined ratio, compared to $4.2 million on a 98.7 combined ratio in 2023.

Results for both years include favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves, which resulted in a $18.1 million and $19.8 million net increase to underwriting income in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The favorable development was offset by a $32.7 million net reduction to underwriting income for losses from Hurricanes Beryl and Helene, compared to $58.2 million for losses from Hawaiian wildfires in 2023.

In addition to net earnings, comprehensive earnings included after-tax unrealized gains from the fixed income portfolio in 2024, due to declining interest rates.

Non-GAAP and Performance Measures

Management has included certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures in presenting the company’s results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures further explain the company’s results of operations and allow for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the company’s business. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, our definitions of these items may not be comparable to the definitions used by other companies.

Operating earnings and operating earnings per share (EPS) consist of our GAAP net earnings adjusted by net realized gains/(losses), net unrealized gains/(losses) on equity securities and taxes related thereto. Net earnings and net earnings per share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to operating earnings and operating EPS. A reconciliation of the operating earnings and operating EPS to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the 2024 financial highlights below.

Underwriting income or profit represents the pretax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses from net premium earned, which are all GAAP financial measures. The combined ratio, which is derived from components of underwriting income, is a performance measure commonly used by property and casualty insurance companies and is calculated as the sum of loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses, divided by net premiums earned, which are all GAAP measures.

Except for historical information, this news release may include forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) including, without limitation, statements reflecting our current expectations about the future performance of our company or our business segments or about future market conditions. These statements are subject to certain risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Various risk factors that could affect future results are listed in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023.
