Equity in earnings of Maui Jim and the related taxes were excluded from operating earnings per share due to the sale of RLI’s investment in Maui Jim. Prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the adjustment.

Highlights for the quarter included:

  • Underwriting income(1) of $54.0 million on a combined ratio(1) of 82.1.
  • 14% increase in gross premiums written.
  • 59% increase in net investment income.
  • Favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves, resulting in a $17.0 million net increase in underwriting income.
  • Special dividend of $7.00 per share, representing $318.1 million returned to shareholders.

Highlights for the year included:

  • Underwriting income(1) of $178.2 million on a combined ratio(1) of 84.4.
  • 16% increase in gross premiums written.
  • Favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves, resulting in a $106.5 million net increase in underwriting income.
  • Net earnings include $434.4 million ($9.49 per diluted share) related to the sale of Maui Jim, Inc.
  • Book value per share of $25.89, an increase of 25% (inclusive of dividends) from year-end 2021.

“In 2022, we continued to provide outstanding service to our customers while delivering profitable growth,” said RLI Corp. President & CEO Craig Kliethermes. “We faced some headwinds from hurricane activity and capital market volatility, but strong underwriting performance across all product segments resulted in 16% growth in gross premiums written for the year and an 84 combined ratio, marking our 27th consecutive year of underwriting profitability. We also successfully closed on the sale of our minority ownership interest in Maui Jim and were able to share excess capital generated with shareholders through a $7 per share special dividend.

“I’m proud of what our team accomplished in 2022 and want to thank our talented associate owners for their dedication to our mission and our customers. In the year ahead, we anticipate the industry will remain dynamic. We will continue to address both the opportunities and challenges with discipline, and a focus on the long-term success of our company.”

Underwriting Income

RLI achieved $54.0 million of underwriting income in the fourth quarter of 2022 on an 82.1 combined ratio, compared to $49.7 million on an 80.7 combined ratio in 2021.

For the year, RLI achieved $178.2 million of underwriting income on an 84.4 combined ratio, compared to $129.9 million on an 86.8 combined ratio in 2021. Favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves resulted in a $106.5 million net increase to underwriting income in 2022, which was partially offset by $44.4 million of hurricane and storm losses. Comparatively, favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves resulted in a $106.5 million net increase to underwriting income in 2021, which was partially offset by $50.2 million of hurricane and storm losses.

Other Income

Net investment income for the quarter increased 58.7% to $28.5 million, compared to the same period in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net investment income was $86.1 million, compared to $68.9 million for the same period in 2021. The investment portfolio’s total return was 2.3% for the quarter and -11.5% for the year.

RLI’s comprehensive earnings were $113.3 million for the quarter ($2.47 per share), compared to $78.2 million ($1.71 per share) for the same quarter in 2021. Full-year comprehensive earnings were $304.5 million ($6.65 per share), compared to $220.5 million ($4.82 per share) in 2021. In addition to net earnings, comprehensive earnings included after-tax unrealized losses from the fixed income portfolio, due to rising interest rates.

Equity in earnings of Maui Jim, Inc. (Maui Jim), a producer of premium sunglasses, was $3.5 million for the quarter, as post-closing adjustments were made after the sale. Equity in earnings of Prime Holdings Insurance Services, Inc. (Prime), a specialty insurance company, was $3.7 million. Comparatively, for the fourth quarter of 2021, equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees from Maui Jim and Prime was $3.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, equity in earnings of Maui Jim was $0.4 million, down from $22.8 million in 2021, primarily due to transaction related expenses from the sale of the company. Equity in earnings of Prime was $13.0 million in 2022, compared to $17.0 million in 2021.

Special and Regular Dividends

On December 20, 2022, the company paid a special cash dividend of $7.00 per share and a regular quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share for a combined total of $329.9 million. RLI has paid dividends for 186 consecutive quarters and increased regular dividends in each of the last 47 years. Over the last 10 years, the company has returned $1.37 billion to shareholders and the regular quarterly dividend has grown an average of 5.0% per year.

Non-GAAP and Performance Measures

Management has included certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures in presenting the company’s results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures further explain the company’s results of operations and allow for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the company’s business. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, our definitions of these items may not be comparable to the definitions used by other companies.

Operating earnings and operating earnings per share (EPS) consist of our GAAP net earnings adjusted by net realized gains/(losses), net unrealized gains/(losses) on equity securities and taxes related thereto. Additionally, equity in earnings of Maui Jim and the related taxes were excluded from operating earnings and operating EPS due to the sale of RLI’s investment. Operating earnings and operating EPS for prior periods have been restated to reflect the equity in earnings of Maui Jim adjustment. Net earnings and net earnings per share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to operating earnings and operating EPS. A reconciliation of the operating earnings and operating EPS to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the 2022 financial highlights below.

Underwriting income or profit represents the pretax profitability of our insurance operations and is derived by subtracting loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses from net premium earned, which are all GAAP financial measures. The combined ratio, which is derived from components of underwriting income, is a performance measure commonly used by property and casualty insurance companies and is calculated as the sum of loss and settlement expenses, policy acquisition costs and insurance operating expenses, divided by net premiums earned, which are all GAAP measures.

(2)

Equity in earnings of Maui Jim and the related taxes were excluded from operating earnings and operating earnings per share due to the sale of RLI’s investment in Maui Jim. Prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the adjustment.

(3)

Net earnings include $434.4 million related to the sale of Maui Jim, which was completed in the third quarter of 2022.

(4)

Proceeds from the sale of Maui Jim were classified as cash flow from investing activities, not operating activities. However, $116.5 million of tax payments related to the sale were included as operating cash outflows.
