American Independence Corp. (NASDAQ:AMIC) today reported 2016 second-quarter and six-month results.

Financial Results

On March 31, 2016, AMIC completed the sale of IHC Risk Solutions, LLC (“Risk Solutions”) and the medical stop-loss business it produced and realized an after tax gain of approximately $114 million.  In addition, under the purchase and sale agreement, all of the in-force medical stop-loss business of Independence American Insurance Company produced by Risk Solutions is 100% co-insured as of January 1, 2016.  AMIC’s block of medical stop-loss business is in run-off.  The sale of Risk Solutions and exit from the medical stop-loss business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.  The disposal transaction qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2016.  

AMIC reported net income of $1.3 million ($.16 per diluted share) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.9 million ($.11 per diluted share) for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  Income from continuing operations was $1.4 million ($.16 per diluted share), and $1.0 million ($.11 per diluted share), for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

AMIC reported net income of $115.5 million ($14.22 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.6 million ($.20 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  Income from continuing operations was $1.8 million ($.19 per diluted share), and $1.2 million ($.14 per diluted share), for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Revenues decreased to $29.4 million and $58.8 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to revenues of $42.2 million and $81.6 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, primarily due to the sale of Risk Solutions and the exit from the medical stop-loss business. 

Independence Holding Company (“IHC”) intends to take the Company private on or about August 31, 2016 by way of a statutory “short-form" merger.  As a result, IHC will indirectly own all of the outstanding shares of common stock of AMIC.
