1The "Definitions of Non-GAAP and Operating Measures" section of
this release defines and reconciles data that the Company has
prepared on an accounting basis other than U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP").
Donald H. Nikolaus, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Donegal Group Inc., noted, "In reviewing the first half of 2014, we
made progress on our long-term initiatives, particularly in the
execution of our plans to grow our commercial lines business
segment. We have continued to expand our product offerings,
leverage existing agency relationships and appoint additional
commercially focused agents. Nonetheless, we must acknowledge that
the first half of the year also presented challenges from unusually
severe weather and other claim activity.
Mr. Nikolaus continued, "During the second quarter of 2014, we
experienced several severe wind and hail storms in the Mid-Atlantic
and Midwest regions that resulted in large volumes of claims from
our customers. In fact, an unusually severe May hail storm in
eastern Pennsylvania and surrounding areas resulted in the largest
financial impact, prior to reinsurance, for the Donegal Insurance
Group of any weather event in our 125-year history. We express our
sincere appreciation to our agents and claim professionals who
expended substantial efforts to provide timely claims service to
the many individuals and businesses that the severe weather
affected.
"The limited impact of these events on the net quarterly
financial results of Donegal Group clearly demonstrates the
benefits our reinsurance arrangements with Donegal Mutual Insurance
Company and third-party reinsurers provide. These reinsurance
agreements reduce the effects of a single large loss, or an
accumulation of smaller losses arising from one event, to levels
that are appropriate for the size, underwriting profile and surplus
position of Donegal Group's insurance subsidiaries. After
accounting for reinsurance recoveries, we incurred approximately
$3.9 million in net losses incurred and approximately $2.4 million
in reinsurance reinstatement premiums with respect to four
PCS-designated catastrophe events during the second quarter of
2014," Mr. Nikolaus noted.
Mr. Nikolaus added, "Our organizational structure provides
significant stability and allows us to continue to maintain a
long-term perspective. As such, we can continue to focus our
efforts on serving the needs of our independent agents and our
policyholders. Our marketing efforts in 2014 are again yielding
positive results, evidenced by healthy premium growth and further
expansion of our independent agency force. So far in 2014, we have
appointed 93 new independent agencies. In our personal lines
business segment, Donegal Group continues to benefit from our
disciplined underwriting approach and premium rate increases we
have implemented over the past several years.
"The steady growth of our insurance business and other positive
underlying business trends give us confidence that we will achieve
measurable progress toward our established corporate goals of
increasing profits, building our financial strength and enhancing
the value of our stockholders' investment. Our independent agents
reaffirm daily that substantial opportunity exists for a
well-capitalized regional insurance group with a solid business
strategy. In April 2014, our board of directors expressed their
confidence in Donegal Group's future prospects when they increased
the quarterly Class A common stock dividend rate by 3.1 percent to
an annualized payout of $.526 cents per share," Mr. Nikolaus
concluded.
At June 30, 2014, the Company's book value per share was $15.25,
compared to $15.02 at December 31, 2013, and $14.84 at June 30,
2013. The increase in book value at June 30, 2014 reflected
an increase in net unrealized gains in the fair value of the
Company's available-for-sale fixed-income securities portfolio due
to lower market interest rates.

The Company's net premiums written increased 7.7% for the second
quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. This
increase represented the combination of 11.8% growth in commercial
lines writings and 5.0% growth in personal lines writings. The
$10.9 million growth in net premiums written for the second quarter
of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 included:
- $2.6 million, or 1.9% of total net premiums written, related to
a change in the Michigan Insurance Company ("MICO") quota-share
reinsurance agreement that continues to reduce the amount of
business MICO cedes to external reinsurers. The Company acquired
MICO in 2010.
- $5.3 million in commercial lines premiums, excluding the MICO
quota-share reinsurance change, that the Company attributes
primarily to premium rate increases and new commercial accounts the
Company's insurance subsidiaries have written throughout their
operating regions.
- $3.0 million in personal lines premiums, excluding the MICO
quota-share reinsurance change. The modest increase reflects
the premium rate increases and underwriting initiatives the Company
has implemented over the past four quarters, offset by reinsurance
reinstatement premiums that were $1.6 million higher than the
prior-year quarter.
The Company's net premiums written increased 8.4% in the first
half of 2014. The increase included $5.4 million related to a
reduction in the percentage of the premiums MICO ceded under its
quota-share reinsurance agreement with external reinsurers in the
first half of 2014 compared to 2013. Excluding the quota-share
reinsurance change, commercial lines premiums rose $12.3 million
and personal lines premiums rose $5.3 million for the first six
months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013.
Reinsurance reinstatement premiums for the first six months of 2014
were $3.6 million higher than in the prior year period.

For the second quarter of 2014, the Company's statutory loss
ratio increased to 72.0%, compared to 70.8% for the second quarter
of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, the Company's
statutory loss ratio increased to 72.8% from 69.9% for the first
six months of 2013.
Kevin G. Burke, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer, noted, "The nature of the second-quarter loss events
resulted in unusual results in several of our lines of business.
For example, our policyholders reported substantial physical damage
to automobiles from the hail storm in May and similar storms during
the quarter, leading to higher combined ratios for both our
personal and commercial automobile lines of business. Due
largely to our emphasis on increasing rates in recent years, the
homeowners line of business showed profitability despite the
weather-related claim activity, achieving a 90.9% combined ratio
for the quarter."
Mr. Burke continued, "The commercial multi-peril combined ratio
for the quarter was above targeted levels due to an increased
impact of large fire losses. The elevated commercial auto combined
ratio reflected the aforementioned weather-related losses, as well
as reserve development related to our receipt of new information
during the quarter on a handful of automobile bodily injury
liability claims from prior accident years. On the other hand,
our workers' compensation line of business performed very well
during the quarter, generating a favorable 90.6% combined
ratio."
Weather-related losses were $11.6 million for the second quarter
of 2014, representing 8.5 percentage points of the Company's loss
ratio, compared to the $9.4 million in weather-related losses, or
7.4 percentage points of the Company's loss ratio, that the
Company incurred for the second quarter of 2013. The increase
in weather-related losses was directly attributable to an increase
in PCS-designated catastrophe losses, primarily related to wind and
hail events.
Large fire losses totaled $9.3 million in the second
quarter of 2014, or 6.8 percentage points of the Company's loss
ratio, increasing from the $5.7 million, or 4.4 percentage points
of the Company's loss ratio, that the Company experienced during
the second quarter of 2013. The increase in large fire losses
reflected increased claim activity in the commercial multi-peril
line of business. Development of reserves for losses incurred in
prior accident years added 4.4 percentage points to the Company's
loss ratios for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 3.7
percentage points for the second quarter of 2013.
The Company's statutory expense ratio1 of 29.6% for the second
quarter of 2014 was comparable to the 29.5% statutory expense ratio
for the second quarter of 2013.
Investment Operations
Donegal Group's investment strategy is to generate an
appropriate amount of after-tax income on its invested assets while
minimizing credit risk through investment in high-quality
securities. As a result, the Company had invested 88.4% of its
consolidated investment portfolio in diversified, highly rated and
marketable fixed-maturity securities at June 30, 2014.

A 1.2% decrease in net investment income for the second quarter
of 2014 primarily reflected the impact of the lower average
investment yield on the Company's fixed-maturity securities
portfolio, offset partially by an increase in average invested
assets, compared to the second quarter of
2013. Net realized investment gains were $2.0 million for
the second quarter of 2014, compared to $1.3 million for the second
quarter of 2013. The Company had no impairments in its
investment portfolio that it considered to be other than temporary
during the second quarter of 2014 or 2013.
Jeffrey D. Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of Donegal Group Inc., in commenting on the Company's
investment operations, noted, "Average yields on the portfolio have
remained very steady since the beginning of the year, and we have
seen a modest increase in portfolio valuations as rates have
remained in a fairly tight range. We have reinvested funds from
municipal bond sales and maturities into U.S. government agency
fixed-maturity securities, and, to a lesser extent, dividend-paying
equity securities, to provide future investment income, but we are
continuing to maintain a relatively short average portfolio
duration so we are positioned to take advantage of future increases
in interest rates."
The Company owns 48.2% of the outstanding stock of Donegal
Financial Services Corporation ("DFSC"), which owns all of the
outstanding capital stock of Union Community Bank. The Company
accounts for its investment in DFSC using the equity method of
accounting. The Company's equity in the earnings of DFSC was
$348,625 for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $675,568
million for the second quarter of 2013. Donegal Mutual
Insurance Company owns the remaining 51.8% of the outstanding stock
of DFSC.
Definitions of Non-GAAP and Operating
Measures
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on
the basis of GAAP. The Company's insurance subsidiaries also
prepare financial statements based on statutory accounting
principles state insurance regulators prescribe or permit
("SAP"). In addition to using GAAP-based performance
measurements, the Company also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial
measures that it believes provide value in managing its business
and for comparison to the financial results of its
peers. These non-GAAP measures are operating income and
statutory combined ratio.
Operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure investors in
insurance companies commonly use. The Company defines operating
income as net income excluding after-tax net realized investment
gains or losses. Because the Company's calculation of operating
income may differ from similar measures other companies use,
investors should exercise caution when comparing the Company's
measure of operating income to that of other companies.

Statutory combined ratio is a non-GAAP standard measurement of
underwriting profitability that is based upon amounts determined
under SAP. The statutory combined ratio is the sum of:
- the statutory loss ratio, which is the ratio of calendar-year
incurred losses and loss expenses to premiums earned;
- the statutory expense ratio, which is the ratio of expenses
incurred for net commissions, premium taxes and underwriting
expenses to premiums written; and
- the statutory dividend ratio, which is the ratio of dividends
to holders of workers' compensation policies to premiums
earned.
The statutory combined ratio does not reflect investment income,
federal income taxes or other non-operating income or
expense. A statutory combined ratio of less than 100%
generally indicates underwriting profitability.
