Global Indemnity Group, LLC Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results and AM Best Affirmation of A (Excellent) Rating

Global Indemnity Group, LLC (NYSE:GBLI) (the “Company”) today reported an increase of 83% in net income available to shareholders to $21.2 million or $1.55 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $11.6 million or $0.84 per share for the same period in 2023.

On August 1, 2024, AM Best affirmed Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s A (Excellent) rating for its U.S. insurance subsidiaries and released:

  • "AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of “a” (Excellent) of the U.S. operating subsidiaries of Global Indemnity Group, LLC (Global Indemnity) (Delaware) [NYSE: GBLI]."
  • "The balance sheet strength assessment reflects Global Indemnity’s risk-adjusted capitalization being at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), supported by a conservative investment portfolio, generally conservative reserving practices, as well as the added financial flexibility through its parent’s access to capital markets."
  • "Penn-America, the group’s core commercial specialty segment, which focuses on small-to middle-market customers, has been consistently profitable."
  • "Global Indemnity is composed of several long-standing and well-recognized franchises that provide a diverse mix of business through multiple distribution channels.”

Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

  • Investment income increased 18% to $29.8 million in 2024 compared to $25.2 million in 2023 due to an increase in book yield on the Company’s bond portfolio from 3.8% at June 30, 2023 to 4.5% at June 30, 2024.

    • The Company’s Penn-America segment that posted $9.9 million of underwriting income (combined ratio of 94.8%), higher than 2023 underwriting income of $6.3 (combined ratio of 96.8%) driven by improved non-catastrophe and catastrophe property results.

Note Regarding Operating Income

Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to net income excluding after-tax net realized investment gains (losses) and other unique charges not related to operations. Operating income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should not place undue reliance on this measure.
