Q3’19 Financial Overview

Overall:

  • Delivered a year-to-date return of 7.0%, as measured by growth in book value per share plus dividends paid.
  • Year-to-date 2019, we purchased and retired 1,472,730 shares of our Common Stock for $9.1 million through open market purchases and block purchases.
  • Increased our quarterly dividend for the third consecutive year to $0.04 per share, a 14.3% increase.

Insurance:

  • Gross written premiums for the quarter were $275.1 million, up 22.0%, with net written premiums of $160.1 million, up 21.7%, both driven primarily by growth in credit protection and warranty products. Year-to-date 2019 gross written premiums were $736.1 million, up 18.8%, with net written premiums of $434.8 million, up 29.2%, driven by growth in all product lines.
  • Combined ratio of 92.1% for the quarter, and 92.8% for the year-to-date, both improvements from prior year as a result of increased underwriting margins.
  • Within our insurance investment portfolio, we earned an average annualized yield of 4.1%, up from 2.2% from the prior year period, driven primarily by lower unrealized losses and lower investment portfolio interest expense.
  • As part of our strategy to grow our specialty insurance operations in Europe, we acquired a majority interest in Defend, an automotive finance and insurance provider and insurance administrator operating in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the UK.

Tiptree Capital:

  • Operating EBITDA grew year over year, driven primarily by the inclusion of our shipping operations and improvements in specialty finance.
  • Increased invested capital, primarily due to additional investments in shipping operations.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, revenues were $189.2 million, which increased $16.6 million, or 9.6%, over the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues were $564.2 million, which increased $90.8 million, or 19.2%, over the prior year period. The increase for both periods was primarily driven by growth in earned premiums, lower unrealized losses on Invesque, improvements in specialty finance results, the inclusion of revenue from shipping operations and the gain on sale of our CLO management business. Earned premiums were $364.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up from $317.8 million in the comparable 2018 period driven by growth in net written premiums. The combination of unearned premiums and deferred revenues on the balance sheet grew by $162.4 million, or 25.9%, from September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2019 as a result of increased written premiums primarily in credit protection and warranty programs.

Net Income before non-controlling interests

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net loss before non-controlling interests was $0.9 million compared to $0.5 million in the 2018 period. The higher loss was driven primarily by higher unrealized losses on Invesque, partially offset by improved specialty insurance results.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net income before non-controlling interests was $15.6 million compared to $29.4 million in the 2018 period, a decrease of $13.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the non-recurring gain on sale of Care, which occurred in 2018 partially offset by improved insurance operating performance, the realized gain on the sale of our Telos asset management business, and realized and unrealized gains on investments in our insurance investment portfolio.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net loss available to Common Stockholders was $1.5 million, an increase of $0.9 million from the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net income available to Common Stockholders was $14.2 million, a decrease of $9.6 million from the prior year period. The key drivers of net income (loss) available to Common Stockholders were the same factors which impacted the net income before non-controlling interests.

Income before taxes (from continuing and discontinued operations)

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 AOCI 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 pre-tax gain on sale of $56.9 million in 2018, of which $46.2 million was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 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 three months ended September 30, 2019 was $17.3 million compared to $14.4 million for the 2018 period, an increase of $2.9 million, or 20.1%. For the three month period, the increase was driven by growth in insurance operations and contributions from our shipping and mortgage operations within Tiptree Capital. Operating EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $42.6 million compared to $38.3 million for the 2018 period, an increase of $4.3 million, or 11.2%. For the nine month period, the key drivers of the increase were driven by improved performance in Tiptree Capital.

Total stockholders’ equity was $407.4 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to $396 million as of September 30, 2018, primarily driven by net income, partially offset by share repurchases and dividends paid. Over the past twelve months, Tiptree returned $14.7 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends paid. Book value per share for the period ended September 30, 2019 was $11.43, an increase from book value per share of $10.77 as of September 30, 2018. The key drivers of the period-over-period impact were earnings per share and the purchase of 1.5 million shares at an average 40% discount to book value. Those increases were partially offset by dividends paid of $0.15 per share and officer compensation share issuances.

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 and 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 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 debt extinguishment, legal, taxes, banker fees and other costs. In 2018, 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.
