White Mountains Reports Second Quarter Results

August 8, 2022 at 8:00 AM EDT

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: WTM) reported book value per share of $1,129 and adjusted book value per share of $1,152 as of June 30, 2022.  Book value per share and adjusted book value per share decreased 5% and 4% in the second quarter of 2022 and 4% and 3% in the first six months of 2022, including dividends. 

On August 1, 2022, White Mountains closed the previously announced sale of 100% of its equity interest in NSM for cash to an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, Inc. (the "NSM Transaction").  Including the estimated net gain of $300 per share from the NSM Transaction, book value per share would be approximately $1,429 and adjusted book value per share would be approximately $1,452 as of June 30, 2022.  NSM's results have been presented as discontinued operations beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

Manning Rountree, CEO, commented, "ABVPS was down 4% in the quarter.  The main drivers were mark-to-market losses in our fixed income portfolios and the decline in MediaAlpha's share price.  On the other hand, our operating businesses produced good results.  BAM produced record levels of par insured.  Ark produced an 87% combined ratio while growing premiums 23% year-over-year.  The fair value of Kudu's existing participation contracts declined 2.5% in the quarter, holding up well in a tough quarter for investment markets.  Kudu grew adjusted EBITDA year-over-year and closed one new transaction.  During the quarter, we signed and announced an agreement to sell NSM, and that transaction subsequently closed on August 1.  This deal adds roughly $300 to ABVPS.  During the quarter, we repurchased $63 million of shares.  Including the proceeds from the NSM Transaction, undeployed capital now stands at roughly $1.6 billion."

Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $(174) million and $(143) million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $139 million and $66 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Results in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 included $114 million and $95 million of unrealized investment losses from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha.  Results in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 included $113 million and $71 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha. 

HG Global/BAM

BAM's gross written premiums and member surplus contributions (MSC) collected were $41 million and $63 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $30 million and $56 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  BAM insured municipal bonds with par value of $5.9 billion and $9.3 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $5.1 billion and $8.7 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Total pricing was 70 and 67 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to 59 and 65 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  BAM's total claims paying resources were $1,228 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $1,192 million at December 31, 2021 and $1,165 million at June 30, 2021. 

Seán McCarthy, CEO of BAM, said, "BAM completed a record first half for direct par insured and premiums.  Volatile market conditions and rising interest rates helped drive strong investor demand for insurance, including on larger and higher-rated transactions.  During the quarter, BAM insured its largest transaction to date: $667 million for the New York State Dormitory Authority's school revenue bond financing program.  Pricing improved quarter over quarter and year over year.  In mid-June, S&P Global Ratings completed its annual review and affirmed BAM's AA rating and Stable outlook."

All BAM-insured bond payments due through August 1, 2022 have been made by insureds, and there are no credits on BAM's watchlist.

HG Global reported pre-tax income (loss) of $(8) and $(23) million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $11 million and $9 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  The increase in HG Global's pre-tax income (loss) in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2021 was driven primarily by net unrealized investment losses on the HG Global fixed income portfolio.

On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds of its new $150 million, 10-year term loan credit facility.  In turn, HG Global paid a $120 million cash dividend to shareholders, of which $116 million was paid to White Mountains.

White Mountains reported pre-tax loss related to BAM of $31 and $66 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $9 million and $32 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  The increase in pre-tax loss related to BAM in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2021 was driven primarily by net unrealized investment losses on the BAM fixed income portfolio.

BAM is a mutual insurance company that is owned by its members.  BAM's results are consolidated into White Mountains's GAAP financial statements and attributed to non-controlling interests.

Ark

Ark's GAAP combined ratio was 87% and 93% in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to 90% and 99% in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Ark's adjusted combined ratio, which adds back amounts attributable to third-party capital providers, was 86% and 93% in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to 84% and 96% in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  The adjusted combined ratio for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 included 11 points and 14 points of catastrophe losses compared to six points and 12 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Catastrophe losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 included an estimate of incurred losses emanating from the conflict in Ukraine of seven points and nine points.  The adjusted combined ratio in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 also included 12 points and seven points of favorable prior year development compared to 10 points and five points in the second quarter and first six months of 2021. 

Ark reported gross written premiums of $404 million and $1,037 million, net written premiums of $270 million and $814 million and net earned premiums of $217 million and $412 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to gross written premiums of $328 million and $733 million, net written premiums of $262 million and $605 million and net earned premiums of $118 million and $222 million and in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Ark reported pre-tax income (loss) of $(21) million and $(45) million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $18 million and $(15) million in second quarter and first six months of 2021.   Ark's results included net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) of $(45) million and $(62) million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $9 million and $10 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Ark's pre-tax loss for the first six months of 2021 also included $25 million of transaction expenses related to White Mountains's transaction with Ark.

Ian Beaton, CEO of Ark, said, "Ark had a solid second quarter.  The adjusted combined ratio was 86% in the quarter, reflecting 12 points of favorable prior year development and seven points for incurred losses tied to Ukraine.  Driven by strong April and June renewals, gross written premiums were $404 million in the quarter, up 23% from 2021 levels, with risk-adjusted rate change up 9%.  Looking forward, market conditions remain attractive, and we are optimistic about continued profitable growth in the book."

NSM

NSM reported commission and other revenues of $103 million, pre-tax income of $13 million and adjusted EBITDA of $29 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to commission and other revenues of $84 million, pre-tax income of $1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $19 million in the second quarter of 2021.  NSM reported commission and other revenues of $191 million, pre-tax loss of $16 million and adjusted EBITDA of $47 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to commission and other revenues of $159 million, pre-tax loss of $32 million, adjusted EBITDA of $33 million in the first six months of 2021. 

Geof McKernan, CEO of NSM, said, "NSM delivered a strong quarter, achieving new highs for premiums and profitability.  Trailing 12 months pro forma controlled premiums grew 3% quarter over quarter to $1,281 million, while pro forma adjusted EBITDA increased 7% quarter over quarter to a record $85 million.  In partnership with the White Mountains team over the past four years, NSM achieved strong organic growth, completed six strategic acquisitions, added high-quality talent and built an industry-leading specialized insurance distribution platform.  We are looking forward to our next phase of growth with Carlyle."

Kudu

Kudu reported total revenues of $(4) million, pre-tax loss of $10 million and adjusted EBITDA of $11 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to total revenues of $36 million, pre-tax income of $31 million and adjusted EBITDA of $5 million in the second quarter of 2021.  Total revenues and pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2022 included $18 million of net unrealized investment losses on Kudu's participation contracts compared to $28 million of net unrealized investment gains on Kudu's participation contracts in the second quarter of 2021. 

Kudu reported total revenues of $31 million, pre-tax income of $19 million and adjusted EBITDA of $21 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to total revenues of $60 million, pre-tax income of $47 million and adjusted EBITDA of $11 million in the first six months of 2021.  Total revenues and pre-tax income in the first six months of 2022 included $5 million of unrealized gains on Kudu's participation contracts, compared to $44 million in the first six months of 2021.

Rob Jakacki, CEO of Kudu, said, "The fair value of Kudu's existing participation contracts was down 2.5% in the quarter, impacted by declines in equity, fixed income and foreign currency markets.  However, this result compares favorably to broader market indices, reflecting Kudu's portfolio construction and diversification.  Trailing 12 months revenues from participation contracts increased 11% quarter over quarter to $54 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased 15% quarter over quarter to $43 million.  Annualized revenues finished the quarter at $60 million, implying a cash revenue yield of 10%, while annualized adjusted EBITDA reached $48 million.  We were pleased to close our investment in Gramercy, a leading emerging markets investment firm.  We continue to seek out specialized and high-quality asset managers worldwide, and we expect further capital deployments throughout the year."

MediaAlpha

White Mountains owns 16.9 million shares of MediaAlpha, representing a 28% basic ownership interest (25% on a fully-diluted/fully-converted basis).  As of June 30, 2022, the closing price was $9.85 per share, which decreased from $16.55 per share at March 31, 2022.  As of June 30, 2022, the value of White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha was $167 million, which decreased from $280 million at March 31, 2022.  At our current level of ownership, each $1.00 per share increase or decrease in the share price of MediaAlpha will result in an approximate $5.80 per share increase or decrease in White Mountains's book value per share and adjusted book value per share.  Our focus remains on MediaAlpha's intrinsic value, not on fluctuations in its share price.  We encourage you to read MediaAlpha's second quarter earnings release and related shareholder letter, which is available on MediaAlpha's investor relations website at www.investors.mediaalpha.com.

Other Operations

White Mountains's Other Operations reported pre-tax income (loss) of $(162) million and $(133) million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $110 million and $47 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Results for Other Operations in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 and 2021 were driven primarily by net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha.  Unrealized investment losses from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha were $114 million and $95 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to net realized and unrealized investment gains from White Mountains's investment in MediaAlpha of $113 million and $71 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021. 

Excluding MediaAlpha, net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) were $(12) million and $20 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $17 million and $19 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  Net investment income was $3 million and $5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $4 million and $11 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021. 

White Mountains's Other Operations reported general and administrative expenses of $50 million and $79 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to $29 million and $65 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2021.  The increases in general and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2021 were driven by higher incentive compensation costs, primarily in connection with the NSM Transaction.
