HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (Nasdaq:MHLD) ("Maiden" or "the Company") today reported record second quarter 2014 net operating earnings(1) of $28.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share compared with $20.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2013.

Commenting on the Company's results, Art Raschbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Maiden, said: "Maiden continued to realize strong disciplined growth across the platform in both the Diversified and AmTrust segments. Our underwriting portfolio continues to benefit significantly from organic growth of existing client relationships and select additions of new client relationships. In the quarter, unrealized gains and net income boosted shareholders' equity by over $79 million, an increase of 6.9%. Quarterly net operating income set a record at $28.2 million, reflecting growth in invested assets partially offset by a slightly higher combined ratio. Going forward, we are focused on enhancing underwriting performance and strengthening operating returns."

Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014

Record net operating earnings(1) for the second quarter of 2014 were $28.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share compared with $20.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2013. Net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders was $25.8 million compared to net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Excluded from second quarter 2014 operating earnings was an established provision of $2.8 million comprised of loss activity and additional reinstatement premiums related to ceded losses in the Company's divested excess and surplus lines property insurance business that was sold to Brit Global Specialty in May of 2013.

In the second quarter of 2014, net premiums written totaled $540.9 million, an increase of 8.6% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The Diversified Reinsurance segment's net premiums written totaled $168.9 million, an increase of 25.2% versus the second quarter of 2013. The growth in the Diversified Reinsurance segment's premium was the result of both new business wins and increased shares of existing client relationships in the U.S. and internationally. In the AmTrust Quota Share Reinsurance segment, net premiums written increased by 28.0% to $372.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2013, driven by favorable trends in lines of business such as worker's compensation. The NGHC Quota Share segment reflects the mutually agreed termination of that contract as of August 1, 2013.

Net premiums earned of $531.9 million increased 3.6% compared to the second quarter of 2013.  Earned premiums increased 12.6% in the Diversified Reinsurance segment to $200.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. The AmTrust Quota Share Reinsurance segment earned premiums were up 24.3% to $324.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. The NGHC Quota Share segment net premiums earned were $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, down 91.7% compared to the second quarter of 2013, reflecting the termination of the NGHC quota share reinsurance contract as of August 1, 2013.

Net loss and loss adjustment expenses of $351.2 million were up $7.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2013.  The loss ratio(6) of 65.7% was lower than the 66.5% reported in the second quarter of 2013.

Commission and other acquisition expenses, including general and administrative expenses, increased $12.4 million to $172.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to the year ago quarter, while the total expense ratio(9) rose to 32.3% for the second quarter of 2014 compared with 31.1% in the same quarter last year, with the difference due to business mix. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $15.4 million compared with $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. The general and administrative expense ratio(8) decreased to 2.9% in the second quarter of 2014 versus 3.3% in the second quarter of 2013. 

The combined ratio(10) for the second quarter of 2014 totaled 98.0% compared with 97.6% in the second quarter of 2013. While moderated from first quarter 2014 levels, the Diversified Reinsurance segment experienced continued elevated losses from non-catastrophe U.S. property reinsurance contracts. The second quarter 2014 Diversified Reinsurance segment combined ratio also included the established provision of $2.8 million, or 1.3 percentage points resulting from loss activity and additional ceded reinsurance reinstatement premiums both related to the divested excess and surplus lines property insurance business. These factors drove the combined ratio in the Diversified Reinsurance segment to increase to 99.9% compared to 97.4% in the second quarter of 2013.  Excluding the impact of this divested business, the combined ratio for the Company would be 97.5% and the Diversified Reinsurance segment combined ratio would be 98.6%. The AmTrust Quota Share Reinsurance segment reported a combined ratio of 95.3% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 95.5% in the second quarter of 2013.

(1) Net operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders excluding realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, foreign exchange and other gains and losses, amortization of intangible assets, divested excess and surplus business, interest expense incurred related to 7.75% senior notes prior to actual redemption of the junior subordinated debt, accelerated amortization of junior subordinated debt discount and issuance cost and non-cash deferred tax charge and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. The Company's management believes that net operating earnings is a useful indicator of trends in the Company's underlying operations. The Company's measure of net operating earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
