Alterra Capital Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: ALTE; BSX: ALTE.BH) ("Alterra") today reported a net loss of $51.8 million, or a loss of $0.54 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $30.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same quarter of 2011.

The net operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $49.7 million, or a loss of $0.52 per diluted share, compared to net operating income of $31.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same quarter of 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, Alterra reported net income of $143.8 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, compared to net income of $65.3 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $119.1 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared to net operating income of $96.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net operating return on average shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 4.2%.

W. Marston (Marty) Becker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alterra, said: "Alterra's fourth quarter operating results were impacted heavily by Hurricane Sandy. However, for the year, we are pleased to report net income of $143.8 million and growth in diluted book value per share of 7.5%, including dividends. Our 2012 results reflect the diversified underwriting strategy and risk management discipline that has served us well, particularly in years with major industry losses such as Sandy.

"On December 19 we ended the year with the announcement of a merger agreement pursuant to which Alterra will be acquired by Markel Corporation. The transaction is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval and is expected to close in the first half of 2013. We believe the combined company will establish itself as a leading specialty insurance and reinsurance company with greater capacity and a broader range of products and services, and will be better positioned for long-term success, including the creation of superior shareholder value," Mr. Becker concluded.

Fourth quarter 2012 results for Alterra include:

  • Property and casualty gross premiums written of $356.4 million, representing an increase of $31.6 million or 9.7% compared to the same quarter of 2011;
  • Net premiums written of $242.6 million, representing an increase of $24.8 million or 11.4%, compared to the same quarter of 2011;
  • A combined ratio on property and casualty business of 119.0%, compared to 97.4% for the same quarter of 2011;
  • Significant property catastrophe event net losses of $115.0 million, net of reinstatement premiums, related to Hurricane Sandy, principally within the U.S. insurance segment, compared to net losses of $55.5 million, net of reinstatement premiums, in the same quarter of 2011. A smaller proportion of 2012's property catastrophe losses fell within the attritional loss ratio, contributing to a higher combined ratio in 2012;
  • Net favorable development on prior years' loss reserves of $37.0 million, or 10.8 combined ratio points, compared to $43.0 million, or 12.3 combined ratio points, in the same quarter of 2011;
  • Net investment income of $52.0 million, compared to $57.1 million in the same quarter of 2011, a decrease of 8.8%;
  • Income of $6.9 million from New Point Re IV Limited, a sidecar in which Alterra has an indirect 34.8% equity interest, consisting of fees and equity share earnings; and
  • A deferred tax expense of $21.8 million to record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. Uncertainty regarding the future utilization of these deferred tax assets resulted in the valuation allowance.

Gross premiums written and net premiums written from property and casualty underwriting for the fourth quarter of 2012 are shown in the following table, with the increase/decrease compared to the same quarter of 2011:

             
Segment ($ in millions) GPW % Inc/(Dec) NPW % Inc/(Dec) Combined Ratio

Reinsurance 125.6 29.6% 114.7 21.5% 100.2%
U.S. Insurance 94.6 (7.5)% 38.7 (31.9)% 286.8%

Results for the year ended December 31, 2012 include:

  • Property and casualty gross premiums written of $1,968.6 million, representing an increase of $67.9 million, or 3.6%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011;
  • Net premiums written of $1,317.2 million, representing a decrease of $111.8 million, or 7.8%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease reflects increased property reinsurance premiums ceded in order to manage aggregate property exposures across all segments, and a decrease in net premiums written on the contract binding business in the U.S. insurance segment resulting from the sale of the renewal rights for this business in 2011;
  • A combined ratio on property and casualty business of 99.5%, compared to 98.2% for the year ended December 31, 2011;
  • Significant property catastrophe event net losses of $130.0 million, net of reinstatement premiums, compared to net losses of $253.4 million, net of reinstatement premiums, in 2011;
  • Net underwriting losses of $17.5 million on agriculture reinsurance, net of premiums and acquisition costs earned;
  • Net favorable development on prior years' loss reserves of $90.8 million, or 6.7 combined ratio points, compared to $153.3 million, or 10.8 combined ratio points, in 2011;
  • Net investment income of $219.0 million, compared to $234.8 million in 2011, a decrease of 6.8%;
  • Income of $30.3 million from New Point Re IV Limited consisting of fees and equity share earnings; and
  • A deferred tax expense of $24.6 million to record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in the U.S.
