PEMBROKE, Bermuda, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- James River Group Holdings, Ltd. ("James River" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: JRVR) reported net income from continuing operations available to common shareholders of $3.2 million ($0.07 per diluted share) and adjusted net operating income1 of $11.7 million ($0.23 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2025. Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands, except for share data) 2025 per diluted share 2024 per diluted share Net income from continuing operations available to common shareholders $ 3,151 $ 0.07 $ 11,853 $ 0.31 Net loss from discontinued operations2 (361 ) $ (0.01 ) (6,853 ) $ (0.18 ) Net income available to common shareholders 2,790 $ 0.06 5,000 $ 0.13 Adjusted net operating income1 11,693 $ 0.23 12,664 $ 0.33 Unless specified otherwise, all underwriting performance ratios presented herein are for our continuing operations and business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting. Second Quarter 2025 Highlights: Annualized adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity1 of 14.0% and year to date growth in tangible common equity1 of 12.8%. The E&S segment recorded a combined ratio of 91.7% and a renewal rate change of 13.9%, driven by widespread price increases across most underwriting divisions. The largest division, excess casualty, saw renewal rates increase over 24% this quarter. The E&S segment reached a milestone as quarterly gross written premium exceeded $300 million for the first time. This reflects a 3% year-over-year increase, supported by expansion in its largest underwriting divisions. The group expense ratio declined to 30.5% from 32.7% in the prior quarter, driven by reduced general and administrative expenses across the organization. "Our second quarter results reflect continued execution of our strategic priorities, namely growing our casualty E&S business through disciplined underwriting across the portfolio and ongoing management of our expenses," said Frank D'Orazio, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. "With our new leadership appointments in place, we are focused on enhancing profitability and strengthening operational efficiency to deliver long-term value for shareholders."  E&S Segment Highlights: Premium growth of 3% accelerated from the first quarter of 2025. Excluding excess property, casualty lines grew gross written premium 4% compared to the prior year quarter. Segment renewal rates increased 13.9% during the quarter, nearly double the increase experienced during the first quarter of 2025. Casualty lines across the segment saw renewal rates increase 14.5%. The segment saw strong submission growth compared to the prior year quarter, with new and renewal submissions increasing 5% and 16%, respectively. Specialty Admitted Insurance Segment Highlights: Gross written premium for the fronting and program business declined 30.7% compared to the prior year quarter, reflective of the Company's strategy to remain opportunistic in the current market environment and manage this segment to retain minimal risk. Overall, segment premium declined 35.0%, inclusive of workers' compensation. The Company also remains focused on managing expenses in this segment and year-to-date expenses have declined 21.3% compared to the first six months of 2024. Second Quarter 2025 Operating Results Gross written premium of $378.0 million, consisting of the following: Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Excess and Surplus Lines $ 300,444 $ 292,836 3% Specialty Admitted Insurance 77,559 119,411 (35)% $ 378,003 $ 412,247 (8)% Net written premium of $176.0 million, consisting of the following: Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Excess and Surplus Lines $ 166,645 $ 161,601 3% Specialty Admitted Insurance 9,345 19,752 (53)% $ 175,990 $ 181,353 (3)% Net earned premium of $152.6 million, consisting of the following: Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Excess and Surplus Lines $ 141,370 $ 140,447 1% Specialty Admitted Insurance 11,239 22,746 (51)% $ 152,609 $ 163,193 (6)% Pre-tax (unfavorable) favorable reserve development by segment on business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2025 2024 Excess and Surplus Lines $ (2,327 ) $ (10,662 ) Specialty Admitted Insurance (700 ) 4 $ (3,027 ) $ (10,658 ) The second quarter of 2025 included $2.3 million and $0.7 million of adverse reserve development from the E&S and Specialty Admitted segments, respectively. The Company ceded $10.6 million of unfavorable reserve development on business subject to the Combined Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Reinsurance Contract ("E&S ADC") during the second quarter and the majority of the remaining E&S segment net unfavorable development represents the retained loss corridor on that structure. There remains $103.8 million of aggregate limit on the E&S ADC and adverse development reinsurance contract with Cavello Bay ("E&S Top Up ADC"). The consolidated expense ratio was 30.5% for the second quarter of 2025, which was an increase from 26.3% from the prior year quarter, but a decline from 32.7% in the prior quarter. The expense ratio decline from the prior quarter was primarily driven by lower general and administrative expenses notably in the corporate segment. Investment Results Net investment income for the second quarter of 2025 was $20.5 million, modestly increased compared to the $20.0 million reported in the prior quarter, and 17.7% lower compared to $24.9 million in the prior year quarter. The comparable decline in income from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a smaller asset base following the funding of retroactive reinsurance structures for the E&S segment which were purchased in the second half of 2024. The Company’s net investment income consisted of the following: Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Private Investments 986 1,909 (48)% All Other Investments 19,530 23,022 (15)% Total Net Investment Income $ 20,516 $ 24,931 (18)% The Company’s annualized gross investment yield on average fixed maturity, bank loan and equity securities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 4.6%, consistent with the previous quarter but compared to 5.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net realized and unrealized losses on investments of ($0.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net realized and unrealized losses on investments of ($2.3) million in the prior year quarter. The majority of the realized and unrealized losses for the quarter were driven by declines in the fair value of our preferred stock portfolio and higher realized losses from sales within the bank loan portfolio. These losses were partially offset by gains in the fair value of the bank loan portfolio. Capital Management The Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per common share. This dividend is payable on Tuesday, September 30, 2025 to all shareholders of record on Monday, September 15, 2025. Tangible Common Equity Tangible common equity3 of $343.7 million on June 30, 2025 increased 12.8% compared to tangible common equity of $304.6 million on December 31, 2024, due to net income from continuing operations and other comprehensive income. Shareholders' equity of $492.6 million on June 30, 2025 increased 6.9% compared to shareholders' equity of $460.9 million on December 31, 2024. Other comprehensive income was $4.9 million during the second quarter of 2025, improving accumulated other comprehensive income to ($50.7) million due to a decline in interest rates.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, such forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, expect, seek, may, will, should, intend, project, anticipate, plan, estimate, guidance or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and uncertainties, they include, among others, the following: the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves and the possibility that incurred losses may be greater than our estimate used to compute loss and loss adjustment expense reserves; inaccurate estimates and judgments in our risk management may expose us to greater risks than intended; downgrades in the financial strength rating or outlook of our regulated insurance subsidiaries impacting our competitive position and ability to attract and retain insurance business that our subsidiaries write and ultimately our financial condition; the potential loss of key members of our management team or key employees, and our ability to attract and retain personnel; adverse economic and competitive factors resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in the frequency or severity of claims, or both; the impact of a higher than expected inflationary environment on our reserves, loss adjustment expenses, the values of our investments and investment returns, and our compensation expenses; exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk and other market risk in our investment portfolio and our reinsurers; reliance on a select group of brokers and agents for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships; reliance on a select group of customers for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain, or decision to terminate, such relationships; our ability to obtain insurance and reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk, adequately protect our Company against financial loss and that supports our growth plans; losses resulting from reinsurance counterparties failing to pay us on reinsurance claims, insurance companies with whom we have a fronting arrangement failing to pay us for claims, or a former customer with whom we have an indemnification arrangement failing to perform its reimbursement obligations, and our potential inability to demand or maintain adequate collateral to mitigate such risks; the inherent uncertainty of estimating reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and the possibility that reinsurance may be less than our estimate of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses; inadequacy of premiums we charge to compensate us for our losses incurred; changes in laws or government regulation, including tax or insurance laws and regulations; changes in U.S. tax laws (including associated regulations) and the interpretation of certain provisions applicable to insurance/reinsurance businesses with U.S. and non-U.S. operations, which may be retroactive and could have a significant effect on us including, among other things, by potentially increasing our tax rate, as well as on our shareholders; in the event we did not qualify for the insurance company exception to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules and were therefore considered a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation; the Company or its foreign subsidiary becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation; a failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we utilize to shield us from unanticipated financial losses or legal exposures, or other liabilities; losses from catastrophic events, such as natural disasters and terrorist acts, which substantially exceed our expectations and/or exceed the amount of reinsurance we have purchased to protect us from such events; potential effects on our business of emerging claim and coverage issues; the potential impact of internal or external fraud, operational errors, systems malfunctions or cyber security incidents; our ability to manage our growth effectively; failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends; and an adverse result in any litigation or legal proceedings we are or may become subject to. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, is contained in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In presenting James River Group Holdings, Ltd.’s results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Such measures, including underwriting (loss) profit, adjusted net operating (loss) income, tangible equity, tangible common equity, and adjusted net operating return on tangible equity (which is calculated as annualized adjusted net operating income divided by the average quarterly tangible equity balances in the respective period), are referred to as non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Underwriting Performance Ratios The following table provides the underwriting performance ratios of the Company's continuing operations inclusive of the business subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting. There is no economic impact to the Company over the life of a retroactive reinsurance contract so long as any additional losses subject to the contract are within the limit of the contract and the counterparty performs under the contract. Retroactive reinsurance accounting is not indicative of our current and ongoing operations. Management believes that providing loss ratios and combined ratios on business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting gives the users of our financial statements useful information in evaluating our current and ongoing operations.

We believe that the disclosure of underwriting profit by individual segment and of the Company as a whole is useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information in evaluating our performance because our objective is to consistently earn underwriting profits. We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources based primarily on underwriting profit. We define underwriting profit as net earned premiums and gross fee income (in specific instances when the Company is not retaining insurance risk) less losses and loss adjustment expenses on business from continuing operations not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting and other operating expenses.

Tangible equity per share represents tangible equity divided by the sum of total common shares outstanding plus the common shares resulting from an assumed conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares into common shares (at the conversion price effective as of the last day of the applicable period). We define tangible common equity as tangible equity less mezzanine Series A Preferred Shares and tangible common equity per share represents tangible common equity divided by the total common shares outstanding. Our definitions of tangible equity and tangible equity per share may not be comparable to that of other companies, and they should not be viewed as a substitute for shareholders’ equity and shareholders’ equity per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible equity and tangible common equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure.
