United Fire Group reported a net income of $18.7 million for Q1 2021, a significant improvement compared to a net loss of $72.5 million in the same period last year. This was driven by net realized investment gains and higher net investment income, offset by increased catastrophe losses and severity of commercial auto losses.
Net income was $18.7 million ($0.74 per diluted share) for Q1 2021, compared to a net loss of $72.5 million ($2.90 per diluted share) in Q1 2020.
Adjusted operating loss was $0.03 per diluted share for Q1 2021, compared to adjusted operating income of $0.05 per diluted share in Q1 2020.
Net premiums earned decreased by 3.6% to $259.2 million, primarily due to non-renewal of under-performing commercial auto accounts and exit of the personal lines business.
The GAAP combined ratio increased to 107.2% for Q1 2021, compared to 105.2% in Q1 2020, driven by an increase in catastrophe losses and severity of commercial auto losses.
