AmTrust Reports Strong Profit Growth For Second Quarter 2014

This marks the fifth quarter in which the company has generated more than $1 billion in gross written premium ($1.44 billion GWP this quarter, an increase of $403 million, or 38.7%, from $1.04 billion in the second quarter of 2013). Small Commercial Business contributed 49% of total company GWP and grew by 170% from 2013 to 2014, while lowering the expense ratio by .2 points. This is quite the impressive performance from both organic and acquired growth as well as cost containment.

On a profitability basis, the company is running at a loss ratio of about 67% and an expense ratio just under 24%. Precisely, AFSI’s Q2 combined ratio was 90.9%, which is an improvement upon the Q2 2013 combined ratio of 92.1%. The majority of that profit improvement came from disciplined underwriting and associated reduction in loss ratio in both Small Commercial Business and, particularly, Specialty Risk & Extended Warranty.

Lastly, the company booked $99.5 million in service and fee income in Q2, up 13% from the same time period last year (and up 28.2% year to date 2014 vs. 2013). Most of that income was contributed by AMT Warranty/Warrantech, AMT Consumer Services, CNH Capital and Car Care Plan (overseas VSC operation).
