NI Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for Third Quarter
Ended September 30, 2023
FARGO, North Dakota, November 7, 2023 –
NI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NODK) announced today results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Summary of Third Quarter 2023 Results
(All comparisons vs. the third quarter of 2022,
unless noted otherwise)
| · | Direct written premiums of $81.2 million, flat
to prior year, driven by increases in Non-Standard Auto (17.9%), Private Passenger Auto (10.4%) and Home and Farm (7.1%), offset by a
decrease in Crop. |
| · | Net earned premiums of $90.8 million, up 1.4%.
|
| · | Combined Ratio of 102.0% versus 114.4%, driven
by lower weather-related losses in Home and Farm, lower loss frequency in Private Passenger Auto, and favorable crop growing conditions,
offset by further reserve strengthening in Non-Standard Auto and Commercial to address elevated liability loss severity and the continued
impact of higher inflationary-related loss costs. |
| · | Net investment income of $2.8 million versus
$2.0 million and net investment loss of $1.2 million versus $2.9 million, driven by higher fixed income reinvestment rates and more favorable
year-over-year equity market conditions. |
| · | Earnings per share of $0.01, compared to loss
per share of $0.47. |
| · | The Company repurchased 310,385 shares of common
stock at an average price of $12.86 per share for a total of $4.0 million. |

Management Commentary
“During the third quarter, we began to benefit
from our significant rate and underwriting actions implemented earlier this year, with our profitability showing improvement over the
prior year,” said Michael J. Alexander, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “We certainly benefited from avoiding catastrophe
losses during 2023, which allowed our Home and Farm segment to return to expected profitability, along with strong results from our multi-peril
crop business. Although we are pleased with our progress and return to profitability, we continue to be challenged by the ongoing effects
of elevated loss cost inflation impacting our industry. Our Non-Standard Auto and Commercial segments both experienced unfavorable prior
year reserve development, driven by elevated loss severity as a result of inflation and other challenging market conditions. To that end,
we remain focused on pursuing continued aggressive rate and underwriting actions, along with other strategic measures to improve our overall
risk profile across all lines of business. Our results continue to be positively impacted by our investment portfolio, which is producing
steadily rising returns, due to higher reinvestment rates and more favorable market conditions.
Overall, we remain positive regarding the outlook
for our business, and our ability to execute the actions necessary to provide our shareholders with appropriate returns over time.”
