CEO Commentary
Chief Executive Officer Katherine Antonello commented: “We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full-year 2022 results and closed the year with strong revenue growth driven by sharp increases in both premium writings and net investment income. The growth in written premium in 2022 resulted from a 16% increase in new business coupled with an 8% increase in renewal business, and notable audit premium recognition.
“We maintained our current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio on voluntary business at 64.0%, largely consistent with the 63.5% we recorded throughout 2021. During the fourth quarter, we recognized $23.2 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development resulting from lower-than-expected loss emergence.”
Ms. Antonello continued, “Underwriting discipline remains a top priority as we continue to thoughtfully execute our growth strategy for both Employers and Cerity. The higher premium we experienced throughout 2022, along with our strict focus on managing our fixed expenses, resulted in a consolidated underwriting and general and administrative expense ratio of 24.7% for 2022, far lower than any other year since 2018.



“Our Cerity operating segment, which offers direct-to-consumer digital workers' compensation insurance solutions, continues to successfully grow its business within our targeted low-to-medium hazard groups. Cerity’s written premium increased to $6.7 million in 2022, from just $1.5 million in 2021.
“Our active capital management efforts throughout 2022, which consisted of $30.4 million of share repurchases, $28.8 million of regular quarterly dividends and $61.5 million of special dividends, coupled with the greater economies of scale we are achieving, bode well for the future of Employers. Our strong balance sheet and abundant underwriting capital are highly supportive of our plans for continued growth and success. Finally, I want to thank our dedicated employees for an outstanding 2022. The unwavering service you provide our agents, our policyholders and their injured workers drive our continued success.”
Summary of Consolidated Fourth Quarter 2022 Results
(All comparisons vs. fourth quarter 2021, unless noted otherwise).
Gross premiums written were $173.8 million, an increase of 22%. The increase was primarily due to higher new and renewal business writings and higher final audit premiums. Net earned premiums were $181.1 million, an increase of 16%.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $91.2 million, an increase of 29%. The increase was primarily due to higher earned premium and lower favorable prior year loss reserve development. The Company recognized $23.2 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development during the quarter versus $24.2 million a year ago.
Commission expenses were $26.0 million, an increase of 21%. The increase was primarily due to higher earned premiums and higher 2022 agency incentive accruals.
Underwriting and general and administrative expenses were $46.7 million, an increase of 19%. The increase resulted primarily from higher premium taxes, assessments, policyholder dividends and bad debt expenses, each of which vary with earned premium.
Net investment income was $27.0 million, an increase of 53%. The increase was due to higher bond yields and higher invested balances of fixed maturity securities, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents, as measured by amortized cost.
Income tax expense was $8.7 million (15.6% effective rate) versus $13.6 million (19.9% effective rate). The effective rates in each period included income tax benefits and exclusions associated with tax-advantaged investment income, LPT adjustments, and deferred gain amortization. The effective rate in the fourth quarter of 2022 further benefited from pre-privatization favorable prior year loss and loss adjustment expense reserve adjustments and a non-recurring tax benefit attributable to the repeal of Internal Revenue Code section 847.
The Company’s book value per share including the deferred gain of $38.67 decreased by 12.3% during 2022, computed after taking into account dividends declared. This measure was adversely impacted by $202.3 million of after-tax unrealized losses arising from fixed maturity securities (which are reflected on the balance sheet) and $38.2 million of net after tax unrealized losses arising from equity securities and other investments (which are reflected on the income statement). The Company's adjusted book value per share of $43.78 increased by 3.0% during 2022, computed after taking into account dividends declared. This measure was adversely impacted by $38.2 million of net after tax unrealized losses arising from equity securities and other investments (which are reflected on the income statement).

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP
The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the Financial Supplement that is attached to this press release and available on our website.
Within this earnings release we present various financial measures, some of which are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G pursuant to Section 401 of the Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002. A description of these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the attached Financial Supplement. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Within this earnings release we present the following measures, each of which are "non-GAAP financial measures." A reconciliation of these measures to the Company's most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included herein. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.
The LPT Agreement is a non-recurring transaction that does not result in ongoing cash benefits to the Company. Management believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of the LPT Agreement (amortization of deferred reinsurance gain, adjustments to LPT Agreement ceded reserves and adjustments to contingent commission receivable) is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing underwriting performance.
Deferred reinsurance gain (Deferred Gain) reflects the unamortized gain from the LPT Agreement. This gain has been deferred and is being amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries, except for the contingent profit commission, which is being amortized through June 30, 2024. Amortization is reflected in losses and LAE incurred.
Adjusted net income (see Page 5 for calculations) is net income excluding the effects of the LPT Agreement, and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (net of tax), and any miscellaneous non-recurring transactions (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measures is helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in identifying trends in the Company's operating performance because such items have limited significance to its ongoing operations or can be impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and may not represent operating trends.
Stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain (see Page 13 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful measure of the Company's total underwriting capital.
Adjusted stockholders' equity (see Page 13 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain, less accumulated other comprehensive income (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties since it serves as the denominator to the Company's adjusted return on stockholders' equity metric.
Return on stockholders' equity and Adjusted return on stockholders' equity (see Page 10 for calculations). Management believes that these profitability measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.
Book value per share, Book value per share including the Deferred Gain, and Adjusted book value per share (see Page 13 for calculations). Management believes that these valuation measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.
Net income before impact of the LPT (see Page 5 for calculations). Management believes that these performance and underwriting measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Description of Reportable Segments
The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity. Each of these segments represents a separate and distinct underwriting platform through which the Company conducts insurance business.
The nature and composition of each reportable segment and its Corporate and Other activities are as follows:
The Employers segment is defined as traditional business offered through the EMPLOYERS brand name through its agents, including business originated from its strategic partnerships and alliances;
The Cerity segment is defined as business offered under the Cerity brand name, which includes the Company's direct-to-customer business; and
Corporate and Other activities consist of those holding company expenses that are not considered to be underwriting in nature, the financial impact of the LPT agreement and legacy (pre-acquisition) business assumed and ceded by Cerity Insurance Company.  These expenses are not considered to be part of a reportable segment and are not otherwise allocated to a reportable segment.
