Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE: MIG) reported that third quarter net operating income, a non-GAAP measure, grew by 6.9% to $11.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $10.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008. Net income increased $6.8 million to $11.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $4.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008. Third quarter 2009 net income includes after-tax losses of $3.7 million related to isolated hail and tornado storm losses and one large fire loss. Third quarter 2008 net income included the after-tax impact of $5.4 million in losses related to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike and a $6.7 million after-tax realized loss primarily due to the other than temporary impairments of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Lehman Brothers preferred stock.
The third quarter 2009 GAAP combined ratio was 95.3%, compared to 96.7% for the third quarter of 2008. The loss ratio for the third quarter of 2009 was 64.5% compared to 65.7% for the third quarter of 2008. The third quarter 2009 loss ratio includes 4.5 percentage points of favorable prior year reserve development, compared to 5.5 percentage points of favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarter of 2008. The expense ratio for the third quarter of 2009 was 30.8% compared to 31.0% for the third quarter of 2008.
Third quarter 2009 gross written premium increased 40.6% to $189.0 million compared to $134.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in gross written premium in the third quarter of 2009 was primarily due to programs we initiated in 2008 and 2009. Additionally, third quarter 2009 gross written premiums include the full three months of premium from Century, but due to the timing of the merger in 2008, only two months of Century's premium are included for the third quarter of 2008.
Net commission and fee revenue for the third quarter of 2009 declined as expected to $10.8 million compared to $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decline was primarily the result of lower premium volume due to mandatory rate reductions and competition. Additionally, a program for which we previously provided policy administration services decided to perform those functions in-house.
Commenting on the results, Meadowbrook President and Chief Executive Officer Robert S. Cubbin stated: "While pricing remains adequate, we continue to see selective growth and as a result we are positioned to achieve results at the high end of the range we previously set of $46 million to $52 million of net operating income for 2009. This generates operating EPS at around $0.90 per share. Growth in gross written premium was 40.6% for the quarter, due primarily to select new programs that we implemented during 2008 and 2009. These program opportunities demonstrate our capability to grow in a manner that leverages our regional underwriting expertise with programs that have a history of underwriting profitability. Excluding the premium from the Century acquisition, our gross written premium grew by 36.2% during the third quarter and 18.6% on a year to date basis. In the context of our historically good operating results, our strong capital position and our expectations for the future, we increased our dividend by $0.01 per share in the third quarter to $0.03 per share. Also during the third quarter, we repurchased 300,000 shares, and given our current book value and share price, opportunities may emerge where we may be more active in the share repurchase market."
Year to Date September 30, 2009 Overview
Net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 50.5% to $40.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share on 57.5 million shares, compared to $26.5 million, or $0.65 per diluted share on 40.7 million shares for the same period in 2008. Net income for the first nine months of 2009 increased 83.9% to $36.2 million or $0.63 per share compared to $19.7 million or $0.48 per share for the same period in 2008. Our year to date results for 2009, include $3.3 million of other than temporary impairment charges on our investment portfolio compared to $7.6 million in other than temporary impairment charges for the first nine months of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, pre-tax fee-for-service income, excluding amortization, declined by 72.0% to $2.7 million from $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, gross written premiums increased $186.6 million, or 58.5%, to $505.9 million compared to $319.3 million for the same period last year. Excluding Century Insurance Group premium, gross written premium grew by 18.6% for the comparative nine month period.

Other Matters
Shareholders' Equity:
At September 30, 2009, shareholders' equity was $509.3 million, or $8.91 per common share compared to $438.2 million, or $7.64 per common share, at December 31, 2008. The book value increase of 16.6% includes unrealized gains from our investment portfolio of $0.68 per share since December 31, 2008.
At September 30, 2009, our debt-to-equity ratio was 26.2% compared to 32.2% at December 31, 2008. Our debt to equity ratio excluding debentures was 10.3% at September 30, 2009 compared to 13.8% at December 31, 2008.
Dividend and Share Repurchases:
On October 30, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share payable on November 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of November 13, 2009, up from $0.02 per share in the prior quarter.
We repurchased 300,000 shares during the third quarter of 2009 at $7.72 per share. As of September 30, 2009, we have available up to 1,900,000 shares remaining under our current share repurchase plan.
Investment Portfolio:
At September 30, 2009 our pre-tax book yield was 4.6%. The duration of the portfolio was 4.5 years at September 30, 2009, compared to 4.5 years at September 30, 2008. The year to date average reinvestment yield is 5.0% and the average pre-tax book yield on new purchases during the third quarter of 2009 was 4.4%.
Net investment income for the third quarter of 2009 was $12.8 million, up from $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 net investment income was $37.5 million compared to $24.7 million for the same period in 2008. The increases in net investment income for the quarter and year to date periods are primarily related to investment income from the Century Insurance portfolio.
2009 and 2010 Expectations
Our 2009 annualized outlook for gross written premium and net operating income has not changed. We continue to expect gross written premium in a range of $695.0 million to $715.0 million and net operating income at the higher end of a range of $46.0 million to $52.0 million, or $0.80 to $0.90 per share.
For 2010, we expect net operating income to be in a range of $48.5 million to $54.5 million. We expect gross written premium in a range of $790 million to $815 million, and the combined ratio should be in a range of 95.5% to 96.5%. Achieving results within these ranges would result in net operating income in a range of $0.85 to $0.95 per share.
Commenting on the 2010 outlook, Mr. Cubbin stated: "As our new program initiatives from 2008 and 2009 continue to develop and gain traction, we expect that we can continue to grow profitably while maintaining price adequacy. We expect the market to remain competitive and somewhat unpredictable into 2010. While our guidance range for 2010 is rather wide at this point, we expect to be in a better position to narrow the range as we complete 2009 and begin 2010."

(3) While net operating income, excluding amortization expense, is a non-
GAAP disclosure, management believes this information is beneficial to
reviewing the financial statements. Management believes this
information is beneficial as amortization expense reflects an interim
non-cash charge and in the long-term cash earnings will reflect GAAP
earnings as we complete the amortization periods associated with
current acquisitions. Net operating income, excluding amortization
expense, is net income less realized gains (losses) net of taxes
associated with such gains (losses) and less amortization expense.

(1) Adjustment to include pre-tax income from total fee-for-service income
is calculated by dividing total fee-for-service income by net earned
premiums.
(2) While the adjusted GAAP expense ratio is a non-GAAP disclosure,
management believes this information is beneficial to reviewing the
financial statements. The adjusted GAAP expense ratio is the GAAP
expense ratio, as reported, less the adjustment to include pre-tax
income from total fee-for-service income. Management believes this
information is beneficial as our GAAP expense ratio includes the
impact of the margin associated with our fee-based operations. If the
profit margin from our fee-for-service business is recognized as an
offset to our underwriting expense, a more realistic picture of our
operating efficiency emerges.
