RENO, Nev., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Employers Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:EIG), a holding company with subsidiaries that are specialty providers of workers’ compensation insurance and services focused on small and mid-sized businesses engaged in low-to-medium hazard industries, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Financial Highlights: (All comparisons vs. the second quarter of 2024). Net income per diluted share decreased by 2%, from $1.25 to $1.23;Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased 56%, from $1.10 to $0.48;Gross premiums written decreased 2%, from $207.9 million to $203.3 million;Net premiums earned increased 6%, from $187.8 million to $198.3 million;Loss and loss adjustment expenses ratio increased from 57.9% to 70.7%;Commission expense ratio improved from 13.9% to 13.2%;Underwriting expense ratio improved from 22.4% to 21.7%;GAAP combined ratio increased from 94.2% (95.4% excluding LPT) to 105.6% (106.4% excluding LPT);Net investment income increased 1%, from $26.9 million to $27.1 million;Net realized and unrealized gains on investments increased from $2.2 million to $20.9 million;Record number of ending policies in-force of 134,421, a 5% increase; andReturned $31.4 million to stockholders through a combination of share repurchases and regular quarterly dividends. Management Commentary Chief Executive Officer Katherine Antonello commented: “Second quarter gross premiums written decreased slightly, with growth in smaller policy size bands offset by decreases within the middle market. Our focus on profitability over growth led to targeted underwriting actions and improved risk selection which impacted our ability and desire to grow at the same pace in certain classes and jurisdictions. Despite the reduction in gross premiums written, net premiums earned increased by 6%, and we ended the period with another record number of policies in-force, which were up 5% year-over-year. In response to the rapid rise in cumulative trauma claims in California, we increased the accident year 2025 loss and LAE ratio on voluntary business from 66.0% in the first quarter to 69.0%. As a result of this increased loss activity, we reallocated observed favorable reserve development from accident years 2020 and prior to more recent accident years, which resulted in no net prior loss reserve development from our voluntary business during the quarter. We took this action to reflect the increased frequency of cumulative trauma claims we are experiencing in the more recent accident years and the level of uncertainty around this new trend. We intend to perform a full actuarial study in the third quarter. Our commission expense ratio was 13.2%, versus 13.9% a year ago, driven by lower new business premiums. While our underwriting expenses increased slightly, our underwriting expense ratio decreased to 21.7% from 22.4% a year ago. We continue to find ways to reduce expenses by automating processes, delivering customer self-service capabilities, and utilizing artificial intelligence. Lastly, we declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share and continue to see attractive opportunities to return capital to our shareholders via share repurchases. These actions reflect our strong balance sheet, abundant underwriting capital, and the confidence in the Company’s future operations.” Summary of Second Quarter 2025 Results (All comparisons vs. the second quarter of 2024, unless otherwise noted). Gross premiums written were $203.3 million, a decrease of 2%. The decrease was primarily driven by reductions in new business in the middle market. Net premiums earned were $198.3 million, an increase of 6%. Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $140.1 million, an increase of 29%. The increase was primarily due to a higher current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 69% and the absence of favorable prior accident year loss reserve development during the quarter. In addition, $5.5 million of loss and loss adjustment expense was recognized to increase the 2025 first quarter estimate, resulting in the calendar year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 70.7% (71.5% excluding LPT), versus 57.9% (59.1% excluding LPT). Commission expense was flat at $26.1 million. The Company’s commission expense ratio was 13.2%, versus 13.9% a year ago. The decrease in the ratio was primarily related to lower agency incentive accruals, the increase in net premiums earned, and an increase in the proportion of renewal premiums, which are typically subject to a lower commission rate. Underwriting expenses were $43.1 million, an increase of 2%. The Company’s underwriting expense ratio was 21.7%, versus 22.4% a year ago. Our increase in underwriting expenses was primarily related to a reduced internal allocation of underwriting expenses to loss adjustment expenses due to a refinement in assumptions. Excluding this allocation, underwriting expenses decreased by $3.0 million primarily driven by lower compensation-related expenses and depreciation and amortization costs offset by higher bad debt expense. Increased net earned premiums contributed to the lower underwriting expense ratio. Net investment income was $27.1 million, an increase of 1%. The increase was primarily due to higher book yields on our fixed maturity securities. Net realized and unrealized gains on investments reflected on the income statement were $20.9 million, versus $2.2 million. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in the fair value of the Company's equity securities holdings. Income tax expense was $7.3 million (19.7% effective rate), versus $8.3 million (20.8% effective rate). The effective rates during each of the periods included income tax benefits and exclusions associated with tax-advantaged investment income, LPT adjustments, deferred gain amortization and related adjustments, and tax credits utilized. The Company’s book value per share including the deferred gain and computed after considering dividends declared was $49.44, an increase of 12.8% year-over-year and 3.1% for the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter, this measure was favorably impacted by $7.4 million of after-tax unrealized gains arising from fixed maturity securities (which are reflected on the balance sheet) and $16.6 million of net after-tax unrealized gains arising from equity securities and other investments (which are reflected on the income statement). The Company’s adjusted book value per share computed after considering dividends declared of $51.68 increased by 8.2% year-over-year and 2.5% during the second quarter of 2025. Third Quarter 2025 Dividend Declaration On July 30, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.32. The dividend is payable on August 27, 2025 to stockholders of record as of August 13, 2025. Stock Repurchases During the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased 482,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $48.08 per share. During the period from July 1, 2025 through July 29, 2025, the Company repurchased a further 229,363 shares of its common stock at an average price of $46.44 per share. The Company currently has a remaining share repurchase authorization of $99.4 million.

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 no longer provides any 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 the 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 was amortized through June 30, 2024, the date of its final determination. 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), and any miscellaneous non-recurring transactions (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 8 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 8 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 4 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 8 for calculations). Management believes that these valuation measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties. Net income excluding 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.
