“We are pleased to report excellent fourth quarter and year-end results,” said RLI Corp. President & CEO Craig Kliethermes. “Our focus on organic growth resulted in a 19% increase in gross premium and an 87 combined ratio for the year. For the quarter, light catastrophe activity and favorable reserve development drove positive underwriting results, and we benefitted from solid investment returns. In 2021, we achieved our 26th consecutive year of underwriting profit, and shared our success in the form of a $2 special dividend. The total capital returned to shareholders now exceeds $1.1 billion over the last ten years, a testament to our consistent financial performance.”

“Our accomplishments are a direct result of our underwriting discipline and the dedication of our talented employee owners. We believe our people and culture have been foundational to our success and will continue to play an important role in the long-term sustainability of our company. I want to thank our Chairman, Jon Michael, for his outstanding leadership as CEO of our organization over the past 20 years. It has been an honor to work with him, and I am humbled to carry on the vision and legacy of RLI’s founder, Jerry Stephens.”

Underwriting Income

RLI achieved $49.7 million of underwriting income in the fourth quarter of 2021 on an 80.7 combined ratio, compared to $27.0 million on an 88.0 combined ratio in 2020.

For the year, RLI achieved $129.9 million of underwriting income on an 86.8 combined ratio, compared to $69.6 million on a 92.0 combined ratio in 2020. Results for both years include favorable development in prior years’ loss reserves, which resulted in a $106.5 million and $84.0 million net increase to underwriting income for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The favorable development in 2021 was partially offset by a $50.2 million net reduction to underwriting income for hurricane and storm losses, compared to $49.3 million in 2020.

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 earnings per share (EPS) from operations consist of our GAAP net earnings adjusted by the net realized gains/(losses), net unrealized gains/(losses) on equity securities and taxes related thereto. Net earnings and net earnings per share are the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to operating earnings and EPS from operations. A reconciliation of the operating earnings and EPS from operations to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the 2021 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.
