Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Douglas Dirks commented on the results: “During the first quarter we delivered a 3.7% annualized return on adjusted equity, which is satisfying given the chaos and disruption currently being experienced throughout the world attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although our underwriting results were solid for the majority of the first quarter, reflecting the strength of our business model, our financial results were adversely impacted by unrealized net investment losses. The Company has invested significantly in the last several years in an operating model that drives superior customer experiences and enhanced efficiencies. Not only has it met those goals, but it added a critical resiliency to our business. The Company has been fully functional since we closed all of our buildings to employees and the general public on March 20, 2020. We have taken the necessary precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and their families while continuing to provide uninterrupted service to our policyholders and claimants. We were able to successfully transition 99% of our employees to a work-from-home environment in a five day period of time without any business interruption.

Both our income statement and balance sheet were negatively impacted in the quarter by the dramatic value declines across nearly all investment asset classes. We were favorably impacted by a higher allocation to cash, the result of sound decision making and swift action by our investment team. Notwithstanding the negative impact of investment valuations, our balance sheet and our capital position remain strong and supportive of aggressive business objectives.”

Mr. Dirks continued, “In the most recent periods, we experienced strong new business opportunities, as evidenced by record numbers of submissions, quotes, and binds, as well as steady renewal business. In fact, that strong performance continued for the first quarter of 2020. However, our levels of submissions, quotes, and binds have decreased significantly since the onset of business interruption created by the pandemic and we expect our new business opportunities and writings to be impacted until such time as our insureds and targeted businesses can reopen and resume their operations.

As a workers’ compensation writer, we continually review and adjust to changes in policyholders' payrolls, economic conditions, and seasonality, as experience develops or new information becomes known. Any such adjustments are included in our current operations. Approximately 25% of our current payroll exposure, including payroll exposure associated with policies generated by our largest payroll partners, is considered to be “pay as you go,” where the associated premium charged to the underlying policyholder is adjusted in real-time based on changes in the underlying payroll. Consequently, economic disruptions are observed in real-time for these policies. For all other policyholders, payroll adjustments are made periodically through midterm endorsements and/or premium audits. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced a significant increase in mid-term endorsement requests that alter estimated payroll for the policy period downward. Endorsements processed in the month of March 2020 served to reduce policyholder premiums by $5.3 million, compared to $3.8 million for January and February combined. Endorsements

processed in April (through April 17) served to reduce policyholder premiums by $6.0 million and we expect this to continue for an indeterminable period of time.

Finally, I thank all of our 700 employees nationwide for their unwavering dedication, flexibility and patience as we continue to seamlessly operate our business and execute our strategy despite being in work-from-home status.”

Summary of First Quarter 2020 Operating Results

(All comparisons vs. first quarter 2019, unless noted otherwise).

Gross premiums written were $184.7 million, a decrease of 12%. The decrease was primarily due to declines in new business premiums written in California, where the Company continued to act as a price leader in achieving rate adequacy, as well as a decrease in new business premiums nationwide associated with the abrupt and severe economic impacts attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net premiums earned were $167.9 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-year.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $104.3 million, an increase of 18%. The Company recognized $3.5 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development during the current period versus $22.2 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development a year ago.

Commission expenses were $21.3 million, a decrease of 3%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in earned premiums.

Underwriting and general and administrative expenses were $46.7 million, a decrease of 2%. The decrease was largely the result of lower premium taxes and assessments, partially offset by higher information technology and bad debt expenses.

Net investment income of $19.9 million increased 9%. The decrease was primarily due to a sharp increase in the amortization of bond premiums associated with the Company's residential mortgage-backed securities, which was caused by a distortion of near-term mortgage loan prepayment speed assumptions during the current period.

Income tax (benefit) expense was $(10.4) million (23.0% effective rate) versus $10.0 million (16.2% effective rate). The increase in the effective rate was due primarily to having a higher proportion of fully deductible losses in the current period versus the proportion of fully taxable income a year ago, as well as the impact of state income taxes.

The Company’s book value per share of $34.78 and book value per share including the Deferred Gain of $39.21 decreased by 5.8% and 5.0% during the first quarter of 2020, respectively, each computed after taking into account dividends declared. These measures were unfavorable impacted by $42.8 million of net after tax unrealized losses from equity securities and other investments (which are reflected on the income statement) and $29.2 million of after tax unrealized losses from fixed maturity securities (which are reflected on the balance sheet).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Within this earnings release we present the following measures, each of which are "non-GAAP financial measures." A reconciliation of these measures to the Company's most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included herein. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to the Company's investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.

The LPT Agreement is a non-recurring transaction that does not result in ongoing cash benefits to the Company. Management believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of the LPT Agreement (amortization of deferred reinsurance gain, adjustments to LPT Agreement ceded reserves and adjustments to contingent commission receivable) is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing underwriting performance.

Deferred reinsurance gain (Deferred Gain) reflects the unamortized gain from the LPT Agreement. This gain has been deferred and is being amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries, except for the contingent profit commission, which is being amortized through June 30, 2024. Amortization is reflected in losses and LAE incurred.

Adjusted net income (see Page 3 for calculations) is net income excluding the effects of the LPT Agreement, and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measures is helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in identifying trends in the Company's operating performance because such items have limited significance to its ongoing operations or can be impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and may not represent operating trends.

Stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain (see Page 9 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful measure of the Company's total underwriting capital.

Adjusted stockholders' equity (see Page 9 for calculations) is stockholders' equity including the Deferred Gain, less accumulated other comprehensive income (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties since it serves as the denominator to the Company's adjusted return on stockholders' equity metric.

Return on stockholders' equity and Adjusted return on stockholders' equity (see Page 6 for calculations). Management believes that these profitability measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Book value per share, Book value per share including the Deferred Gain, and Adjusted book value per share (see Page 9 for calculations). Management believes that these valuation measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Net income before impact of the LPT (see Page 3 for calculations). Management believes that these performance and underwriting measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

Description of Reportable Segments

The Company has recently made changes to its corporate structure, mainly involving the launch and further development of a new digital insurance platform offered under the Cerity brand name (Cerity), resulting in changes to its reportable segments. The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: Employers and Cerity. Each of these segments represents a separate and distinct underwriting platform through which the Company conducts insurance business.

The nature and composition of each reportable segment and its Corporate and Other activities are as follows:


•	The Employers segment is defined as traditional business offered through the EMPLOYERS brand name (Employers) through its agents, including business originated from its strategic partnerships and alliances;


•	The Cerity segment is defined as business offered under the Cerity brand name, which includes the Company's direct-to-customer business; and


•	Corporate and Other activities consist of those holding company expenses that are not considered to be underwriting in nature, the financial impact of the LPT agreement and legacy (pre-acquisition) business assumed and ceded by Cerity Insurance Company. These expenses are not considered to be part of a reportable segment and are not otherwise allocated to a reportable segment.

Prior to December 31, 2019, the Company operated under a single reportable segment and presented its Combined Ratio on that basis. In light of its change in reporting segments, the Company now presents a separate Combined Ratio for each of its reporting segments.

All periods prior to December 31, 2019 presented herein have been conformed to the current presentation.
