Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

GRAND CAYMAN, Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OXBR), (the “Company”), a provider of reinsurance solutions primarily to property and casualty insurers, reported its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

“Our resolve to limiting our exposure to underwriting losses through reinsurance contracts this year, helped significantly in lowering the potential loss caused by the catastrophic damage from Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole” commented Oxbridge Re Holdings President and Chief Executive Officer Jay Madhu. "We continue to be optimistic about our future".

Financial Performance

Net premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased to $591,000 from $370,000 in the same prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net premiums earned increased to $995,000 from $755,000 in the prior year. The increases are due to the acceleration of premium recognition on two of the Company’s reinsurance contracts due to a limit loss suffered during the third quarter of 2022 by Hurricane Ian, as well as higher rates on reinsurance contracts compared to the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated a net loss of $2.2 million or $0.37 per basic and diluted common share compared net income of $6.5 million or $1.14 per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company incurred a net loss of $2.5 million or $0.43 per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $7.0 million or $1.22 per basic and diluted share in the first nine months of the prior year. The declines are due to reduced realized investment gains, the negative change in the unrealized fair value of equity securities and other investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as well as the impact of Hurricane Ian during the third quarter of the year, when compared with prior year.

Total expenses, including losses and loss adjustment expenses, policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses, were $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $479,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The increases are due primarily to a larger underwriting loss during the current year periods, increase in policy acquisition costs due to acceleration of premium recognition and higher general and administrative expenses due to inflationary expense fluctuations to date in 2022, when compared with the prior periods.

At September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents were $4.4 million compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2021. Other investments decreased to $10.2 million from $11.2 million at December 31, 2021 due to the change in the Company’s investment in Oxbridge Acquisition Corp in which the Company has an equity investment measured at fair value.

Financial Ratios

Loss Ratio. The loss ratio, which measures underwriting profitability, is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to net premiums earned. The loss ratio increased to 181.6% and 107.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 42.7% and 20.9% for the same prior year periods due to the limit losses suffered on two of the Company’s reinsurance contracts as a result of Hurricane Ian, partially offset by a higher denominator in net premiums earned, compared with the prior year.

Acquisition Cost Ratio. The acquisition cost ratio, which measures operational efficiency, compares policy acquisition costs with net premiums earned, decreased marginally to 11.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 11.1% in third quarter of 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the acquisition ratio increased marginally to 11.1% from 11.0% in the prior year.

Expense Ratio. The expense ratio, which measures operating performance, compares policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses with net premiums earned. The expense ratio decreased to 65.7% and 116.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, from 86.8% and 122.9% for the same prior year periods. The decreases are due to a higher denominator in net premiums earned to due premium acceleration, partially offset by increased policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses in 2022 compared to the prior year.

Combined ratio. The combined ratio, which is used to measure underwriting performance, is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. The combined ratio increased to 247.2% and 224.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, from 129.5% and 143.8% for the same prior year periods. The increase is due to the increase in the loss ratio during the third quarter of 2022 as a result of a limit loss suffered under two of the Company’s reinsurance contracts and increased general administrative expenses compared to the prior year.
