Conifer Holdings (NASDAQ: CNFR) reported Q2 EPS of ($0.14), $0.17 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.03. Revenue for the quarter came in at $26.28 million versus the consensus estimate of $26.83 million.

(emphasis Street Insider) James Petcoff, Chairman and CEO, commented, “For the second quarter of 2017, we continued the efforts begun in the first quarter of deemphasizing the lines of business where the underwriting performance has not been aligned with our goals. Because of this shift, gross written premiums in both our commercial and personal lines of business were negatively impacted overall, but this decline was primarily offset by growth in our core specialty niche insurance products such as liquor liability and security guards. We are positioning the Company for favorable long-term underwriting performance and expect to see a return to our historical growth trends in the coming quarters.”
