ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

 

On July 28, 2004, White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. issued a press release announcing its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. The press release furnished herewith is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. Certain information included in the press release constitutes non-GAAP financial measures (as defined in Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission). Specifically, non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in the press release are the discussion and presentation of fully converted tangible book value per common share.

 

White Mountains’ management believes that the growth in fully converted tangible book value per common share represents a measure of value created at the Company over time which is more relevant than traditional GAAP measurements.  Book value per share is derived by dividing the Company’s total GAAP shareholders’ equity as of a given date by the number of common shares outstanding as of that date, including the dilutive effects of outstanding options and warrants to acquire common shares, as well as the unamortized accretion of preferred stock. Fully converted tangible book value per share is derived by expanding the book value per share calculation to include (i) the effects of assumed conversion of all convertible securities and (ii) any remaining unamortized goodwill or deferred credits as of the applicable date. A separate schedule is included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K which details the calculation of the Company’s fully converted tangible book value per common share.

Exhibit 99.1

 

WHITE MOUNTAINS BOOK VALUE PER SHARE INCREASES TO $313

 

HAMILTON, Bermuda (July 28, 2004) – White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. ended the second quarter of 2004 with a fully converted tangible book value per share of $313, up 12% from June 30, 2003 and 8% since December 31, 2003, including dividends.

 

Comprehensive net income for the quarter was $38 million compared to $163 million in the second quarter of 2003.  The decline was mainly due to $139 million of after-tax unrealized losses on the fixed income portfolio caused by a rise in interest rates, compared to after-tax unrealized gains of $76 million in the second quarter of 2003.   In addition, pre-tax realized losses were $6 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $90 million of pre-tax realized gains in the second quarter of last year.  These realized and unrealized losses were more than offset by strong underwriting results and the gain on the Sirius acquisition reflected in net income.  For the year-to-date, comprehensive net income was $233 million compared to $254 million in the comparable period last year.

 

Net income for the quarter nearly doubled to $169 million, as the company had strong underwriting results and recorded a $111 million after-tax gain on the Sirius acquisition.  Net income for the first six months of 2004 was $264 million, up 42% compared to $187 million for the first six months of last year.

 

CEO Ray Barrette said, “I am pleased we were able to grow our book value in the quarter despite a strong headwind from the bond market.  Our short duration and good equity performance minimized the damage.  Underwriting profits at both OneBeacon and White Mountains Re remain strong.  The Sirius acquisition resulted in a gain of $111 million.  Sirius is also generating significant underwriting profits on annualized premiums in excess of $500 million. Finally, we officially welcomed Berkshire Hathaway as a 16% shareholder as it exercised warrants in White Mountains a year ahead of schedule.”

 

OneBeacon

 

OneBeacon’s pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2004 was $95 million, compared to pre-tax income of $136 million for the second quarter of 2003.  For the first six months of 2004, pre-tax income was $238 million, versus $275 million for the comparable period of 2003.  Each measure was down due to significantly lower realized gains.  The GAAP combined ratio improved to 95% and 96% for the second quarter and first six months of 2004 compared to 98% for each of the comparable periods of 2003.  Net written premiums are up 26% and 33% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

 

John Cavoores, CEO of OneBeacon said, “The combined ratio continues to improve in line with our expectations and our pricing remains disciplined in most segments.  Our premium growth reflects the Atlantic Specialty acquisition, improved retentions in all lines and continued momentum at AutoOne and our other specialty segments.”

 



 

Reinsurance

 

Pre-tax income for White Mountains’ Reinsurance segment was $72 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to $47 million for the second quarter of 2003.    For the first six months of 2004, pre-tax income was $119 million versus $91 million in the comparable prior year period.  The GAAP combined ratio was 92% for the second quarter and the first six months of 2004, compared to 96% and 95% in the comparable periods of 2003.  Net written premiums were up 109% and 43% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

 

Steve Fass, CEO of White Mountains Re, said, “Our reinsurance businesses across the globe are running well and producing underwriting profits.  The combined ratio reflects the favorable prices, terms and conditions we have been able to achieve over the past several years. Premium growth mainly reflects the addition of Sirius to our enterprise.”

 

White Mountains’ Reinsurance segment consists of Folksamerica, Sirius, and White Mountains Underwriting.

 

Esurance

 

This segment had a pre-tax loss of less than a million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to a pre-tax loss of $5 million in the second quarter of the prior year.  The GAAP combined ratio was 107% in the second quarter of 2004, compared to 126% for the second quarter of the prior year.  Net written premiums are growing rapidly, up to $45 million in the second quarter of 2004, which is 72% higher than the second quarter of last year.  The results and trends for the first six months of 2004 were similar to those reported for the second quarter of 2004.

 

Gary Tolman, CEO of Esurance, stated, “Esurance continued to expand its operation in the second quarter, boding well for ongoing future growth.  We recently entered Georgia’s $4.6 billion auto insurance market, and will introduce our auto product in Nevada very soon.  When Esurance goes live in Nevada, we will be writing business in 16 states.”

 

Other Operations

 

White Mountains’ Other Operations segment reported a pre-tax loss of $70 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to a pre-tax loss of $54 million for the second quarter of 2003.  For the first six months of 2004 the segment reported a pre-tax loss of $146 million versus $85 million in the comparable period of 2003.  The losses reported in this segment are principally the result of financing, purchase accounting and compensation expenses at the holding company level.  The increased loss in the first half of 2004 relative to 2003 is principally the result of higher accruals for incentive compensation due to the increase in the stock price from year end 2003, a change in accounting for preferred stock, a decrease in the value of the Company’s investment in Montpelier warrants, which are marked-to-market through net income, and the impact currency fluctuations had on our hedging the cost of funding for the Sirius acquisition.

 

Investment Activities

 

John Gillespie, President of White Mountains Advisors, said, “The sell-off in the bond market clearly impacted our results in the second quarter.  We have kept the duration of our fixed maturity portfolio fairly short at about 3 years, as we felt that rates were more likely to rise than

 



 

fall.  However, given the size of our fixed maturity portfolio, a significant move upward in interest rates is still going to have a negative impact on the value of our investments.”

 

The GAAP total return on invested assets for the quarter was –1.5%. Year-to-date it was up 1.7%.  Net investment income was $93 million in the quarter and $164 million for the first half of 2004, up 28% and 8%, respectively from the comparable periods of 2003.  The growth in net investment income in the second quarter primarily reflected the investment income earned on the invested assets acquired in the Sirius acquisition.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

 

The information contained in this earnings release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this release which address activities, events or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.  The words “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “predict” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to White Mountains’:

 

                                          growth in book value per share or return on equity;

 

                                          business strategy;

 

                                          financial and operating targets or plans;

 

                                          incurred losses and the adequacy of its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves;

 

                                          projections of revenues, income (or loss), earnings (or loss) per share, dividends, market share or other financial forecasts;

 

                                          expansion and growth of its business and operations; and

 

                                          future capital expenditures.

 

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by White Mountains in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with its expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including:

 

                                          the failure of announced acquisitions to enhance shareholder value;

 

                                          claims arising from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or terrorist attacks;

 

                                          the continued availability of capital and financing;

 

                                          general economic, market or business conditions;

 

                                          business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to it and pursued;

 

                                          competitive forces, including the conduct of other insurers and reinsurers;

 

                                          changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations applicable to White Mountains, its competitors or its  clients;

 

                                          an economic downturn or other economic conditions adversely affecting its financial position;

 

                                          loss reserves established subsequently proving to have been inadequate; and

 

                                          other factors, most of which are beyond White Mountains’ control.

 



 

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this earnings release are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by White Mountains will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, White Mountains or its business or operations. White Mountains assumes no obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
