Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2018, revenues were $625.8 million, which increased $44.0 million, or 7.6%, over the prior year period. The increase was driven by growth in earned premiums and service and administrative fees. Earned premiums were $427.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, up from $371.7 million in the comparable 2017 period driven by growth in net written premiums. The combination of unearned premiums and deferred revenues on the balance sheet grew by $115.0 million, or 20.5%, from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 as a result of an increase in credit protection and other specialty programs written premiums.

Net Income (Loss) before non-controlling interests

For the year ended December 31, 2018, net income before non-controlling interests was $29.9 million compared to income of $5.2 million in the 2017 period, an increase of $24.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by improved insurance operating performance and $43.8 million of income from discontinued operations, including the net gain on sale of Care. These factors were partially offset by unrealized mark-to-market losses on Invesque common shares of $20.7 million and lack of a one-time net tax benefit of $15.2 million from remeasurement of our net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the Tax Act’s change in federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Stockholders

For the year ended December 31, 2018, net income available to common stockholders was $23.9 million, an increase of $20.3 million from the prior year period. The key drivers of net income available to common stockholders were the same factors which impacted the net income before non-controlling interests.

The table below highlights key drivers impacting our consolidated results on a pre-tax basis. Many of our investments are carried at fair value and marked to market through unrealized gains and losses. As a result, we expect our earnings relating to these investments to be relatively volatile between periods in contrast to our fixed income securities, which are marked to market through accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity. On February 1, 2018, we sold our senior living operations to Invesque in exchange for a net of 16.6 million shares of Invesque common stock which resulted in a pretax gain on sale of $56.9 million. During 2017, we made a strategic decision to decrease our overall exposure to CLO subordinated notes, which resulted in deconsolidation of the CLOs we manage and decreased our earnings from CLO distributions when comparing the year ended December 31, 2018 versus the prior year periods.

(2) Includes Care for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Includes $56.9 million pre-tax gain on sale of Care in 2018.

Non-GAAP

Management uses Operating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and book value per share as measurements of operating performance which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of Operating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information useful to investors as they are frequently used by the financial community to analyze financial performance, and to analyze a company’s ability to service its debt and to facilitate comparison among companies. Management uses Operating EBITDA as part of its capital allocation process and to assess comparative returns on invested capital amongst our businesses and investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in determining incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers. Operating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income. Management believes the use of book value per share provides supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze company growth on a relative per share basis.

Operating EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $54.9 million compared to $60.9 million for the 2017 period, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 9.7%. The key drivers were increased Operating EBITDA from specialty insurance operations, which were more than offset by lower distributions on credit investments within Tiptree Capital.

Total stockholders’ equity was $399.3 million as of December 31, 2018 compared to $396.8 million as of December 31, 2017, primarily driven by 2018 net income, net of share repurchases and dividends paid. Book value per share for the period ended December 31, 2018 was $10.79, an increase from book value per share, as exchanged, of $9.97 as of December 31, 2017. The key drivers of the period-over-period impact were 2018 earnings per share and the purchase of 2.2 million shares at an average 39% discount to book value. Those increases were partially offset by dividends paid of $0.135 per share and officer compensation share issuances. In 2018, Tiptree returned $19.2 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid.

Tiptree Inc.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted EBITDA and Operating EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income of the Company adjusted to add (i) corporate interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) adjust for the effect of purchase accounting, (iii) adjust for non-cash fair value adjustments, and (iv) any significant non-recurring expenses. Operating EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA plus stock based compensation expense, less realized and unrealized gains and losses and less third party non-controlling interests. Operating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP net income.

(1)		Corporate Debt interest expense includes Secured corporate credit agreements, junior subordinated notes and preferred trust securities. Interest expense associated with asset-specific debt in specialty insurance, asset management, mortgage and other operations is not added-back for Adjusted EBITDA and Operating EBITDA.
(2)		Represents total depreciation and amortization expense less purchase accounting amortization related adjustments at the Insurance Company. Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated. Thus, the purchase accounting effect related to our Insurance company increased EBITDA above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated.
(3)		For Reliance, within our mortgage operations, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of changes in contingent earn-outs. For our specialty insurance operations, depreciation and amortization on senior living real estate that is within net investment income is added back to Adjusted EBITDA. For Care (Discontinued Operations), the reduction in EBITDA is related to accumulated depreciation and amortization, and certain operating expenses, which were previously included in Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods.
(4)		Acquisition, start-up and disposition costs including legal, taxes, banker fees and other costs. Includes payments pursuant to a separation agreement, dated November 10, 2015.
(5)		Adjustment excludes Mortgage realized and unrealized gains and losses - Performing and NPLs as those are recurring in nature and align with those business models.
(6)		Removes the Operating EBITDA associated with third party non-controlling interests. Does not remove the non-controlling interests related to employee based shares.

The footnotes below correspond to the tables above, under “—Adjusted EBITDA and Operating EBITDA - Non-GAAP”

(1)		Includes discontinued operations related to Care. For more information, see “Note—(3) Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale & Discontinued Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
(2)		Corporate Debt interest expense includes Secured corporate credit agreements, junior subordinated notes and preferred trust securities. Interest expense associated with asset-specific debt in specialty insurance, asset management, mortgage and other operations is not added-back for Adjusted EBITDA and Operating EBITDA.
(3)		Represents total depreciation and amortization expense less purchase accounting amortization related adjustments at the Insurance Company. Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated. Thus, the purchase accounting effect related to our Insurance company increased EBITDA above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated.
(4)		For Reliance, within our mortgage operations, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of changes in contingent earn-outs. For our specialty insurance operations, depreciation and amortization on senior living real estate that is within net investment income is added back to Adjusted EBITDA. For Care (Discontinued Operations), the reduction in EBITDA is related to accumulated depreciation and amortization, and certain operating expenses, which were previously included in Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods.
(5)		Acquisition, start-up and disposition costs including legal, taxes, banker fees and other costs. Includes payments pursuant to a separation agreement, dated November 10, 2015.
(6)		Adjustment excludes Mortgage realized and unrealized gains and losses - Performing and NPLs as those are recurring in nature and align with those business models.
(7)		Removes the Operating EBITDA associated with third party non-controlling interests. Does not remove the non-controlling interests related to employee based shares.
