Kevin G. Burke, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Donegal Group Inc., noted, “Donegal Group achieved
steady premium growth in the second quarter of 2017, while unusual
storm activity resulted in a significant number of property losses
throughout our operating regions. We incurred approximately
$20.1 million in weather-related losses for the second quarter of
2017, which was nearly double the Company’s previous five-year
average for second quarter weather-related losses. Our
homeowners line of business has performed well in recent years, and
we continually review our property risk profile to ensure
appropriate diversification of geographical risk and rate
adequacy. The overall impact of the weather-related losses
was mitigated partially by an 8.1% increase in net premiums earned,
strong underwriting results in our workers’ compensation and
commercial multi-peril lines of business and a 5.7% increase in net
investment income.”
Mr. Burke further noted, “Over the past six
months, Donegal Group has pursued modest rate increases where
needed to improve our underwriting results as well as leveraging
our brand recognition across all of our geographies to win new
accounts. We were pleased to achieve a 7.7% increase in net
premiums written for the first half of 2017 predominantly through
additional market share in regions we know well. We are
working closely with our independent agents to gain market share
and improve our profitability by leveraging our investment in
technology, such as the increased use of proprietary predictive
analytical tools.”
Donald H. Nikolaus, Chairman of Donegal Group
Inc., remarked, “We were pleased with the modest increase in our
book value during the first half of 2017 in light of the unusual
weather events. At June 30, 2017, our book value per share
increased to $16.23, compared to $16.21 at December 31, 2016.
Despite the challenges Donegal Group encountered during the
quarter, we anticipate that improved underwriting results through
rate and underwriting adjustments, careful risk selection and
increased use of technology will result in positive earnings for
the second half of 2017.”

The 7.0% increase in the Company’s net premiums
written for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second
quarter of 2016, as shown in the table above, represents the
combination of 4.7% growth in commercial lines net premiums written
and 8.9% growth in personal lines net premiums written. The $12.5
million growth in net premiums written for the second quarter of
2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 included:
- $3.8 million in commercial lines premiums that the Company
attributes primarily to new commercial accounts the Company’s
insurance subsidiaries have written throughout their operating
regions and a continuation of modest renewal premium
increases.
- $8.7 million in personal lines premiums that the Company
attributes to a combination of new policy growth and premium rate
increases the Company has implemented over the past four
quarters.

Jeffrey D. Miller, Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Donegal Group’s statutory
combined ratio was 104.5% for the second quarter of 2017, compared
to 95.0% for the second quarter of 2016. Weather-related
losses totaled approximately $20.1 million, including a provision
of approximately $3.6 million for claims incurred but not yet
reported at June 30, 2017, representing a substantial increase over
the $11.2 million of weather-related losses for the second quarter
of 2016 and the previous five-year average for second quarter
weather-related losses of $10.5 million. The increase resulted from
a series of wind and hail events in the Company’s operating regions
during extended periods throughout the second quarter of 2017. None
of the loss accumulations from any of these events exceeded the
Company’s $5.0 million third-party catastrophe reinsurance
retention.
“Our workers’ compensation line of business
continued to perform well during the period, which helped to offset
our elevated commercial automobile combined ratio. The
commercial automobile combined ratio included 15.8 percentage
points related to approximately $3.6 million of reserve development
for losses incurred in prior years. Based on updated
information our insurance subsidiaries received during the second
quarter of 2017, we increased reserves for several reported
liability losses we expect will ultimately cost more to settle than
we had anticipated. We have been working to improve the
profitability of our commercial automobile line of business and
have implemented rate increases for that line in all of the states
in which we conduct business.”
For the second quarter of 2017, the Company’s
statutory loss ratio increased to 72.9%, compared to 63.8% for the
second quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of the aforementioned
increase in weather-related losses that contributed 11.5 percentage
points to the Company’s loss ratio for the second quarter of 2017,
compared to 6.9 percentage points of the Company’s loss ratio for
the second quarter of 2016.
Large fire losses, which the Company defines as
individual fire losses in excess of $50,000, were $7.6 million for
the second quarter of 2017, or 4.3 percentage points of the
Company’s loss ratio. That amount was substantially higher
than the large fire losses of $3.7 million for the second quarter
of 2016, or 2.3 percentage points of the Company’s loss ratio. The
Company noted a higher-than-normal incidence of large homeowners
fire losses in the second quarter of 2017, compared to
lower-than-normal fire losses for the second quarter of 2016.
Development of reserves for losses incurred in
prior accident years added 3.3 percentage points to the Company’s
loss ratio for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 2.3
percentage points to the Company’s loss ratio for the second
quarter of 2016. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and
2016, development of reserves for losses incurred in prior accident
years added 2.4 and 1.2 percentage points, respectively, to the
Company's loss ratios. In addition to the above development
in commercial automobile liability losses, the development in the
second quarter of 2017 related to higher than anticipated severity
in commercial multi-peril and personal automobile liability losses,
offset by lower-than-anticipated severity in workers’ compensation
losses incurred by the Company in prior years.
The Company’s statutory expense ratio1 was 30.9%
for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 30.7% for the second
quarter of 2016. The Company's other underwriting expenses
for the prior-year quarter reflected the benefit of premium tax
credits in the amount of $2.8 million that Michigan Insurance
Company recognized following a legislative change that made certain
premium tax credits available to insurance companies doing business
in the state of Michigan. That benefit was largely offset by
increased underwriting-based incentive costs for the second quarter
of 2016.

Net investment income of $5.6 million for the
second quarter of 2017 increased 5.7% compared to $5.3 million in
net investment income for the second quarter of 2016. The increase
in net investment income reflected primarily an increase in average
invested assets relative to the prior-year second quarter.
Net realized investment gains were $1.1

Definitions of Non-GAAP and Operating
MeasuresThe 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 the measure of other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of
the Company's net income to the Company's operating income for the
periods indicated:

The 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.
