ProAssurance Q1 2020 Earnings Report
ProAssurance reported a net loss and reduced its quarterly dividend due to the impact of COVID-19 and challenges in the healthcare professional liability and workers' compensation insurance markets.
Key Takeaways
ProAssurance reported a net loss of $22.0 million, or $0.41 per share, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to a net income of $31.65 million, or $0.59 per share, in the same quarter of 2019. The results were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to steep declines in the mark-to-market values of the company's equity investments. The company also faced continued challenges in the healthcare professional liability market and intense competition in workers' compensation insurance. As a result of these factors, ProAssurance reduced its quarterly dividend from $0.31 per share to $0.05 per share.
