“The industry experienced another active year of natural catastrophes, but RLI’s underwriting discipline and product diversification once again distinguished our company,” said RLI Corp. Chairman & CEO Jonathan E. Michael. “I‘m proud to report that we ended the year with a 94.7 combined ratio and increased gross premiums written by 11%, as products across our portfolio grew through enhanced marketing, product development and technology initiatives. While the investment portfolio’s total return declined compared to last year, operating income benefited from investment income growth of 17% for the quarter and 13% for the year. As a result, we were able to share our success with shareholders by paying and increasing our regular quarterly dividend for the 43rd consecutive year and issuing a $1.00 special dividend in the fourth quarter. We remain focused on delivering value to our customers, partners and shareholders in 2019.”

RLI had $2.2 million of underwriting income in the fourth quarter of 2018 on a 98.9 combined ratio, compared to $9.0 million of underwriting income on a 95.2 combined ratio in the same quarter for 2017.

Net premiums earned were up 7 percent, driven by growth from our casualty and property segments.
Favorable development on prior accident years loss reserves benefited underwriting earnings in each of the past three years.
We received a $9.9 million dividend from Maui Jim in the fourth quarter of 2016 and recognized a $2.8 million tax benefit from applying the lower tax rate applicable to affiliated dividends (7.0 percent in 2016), as compared to the corporate capital gains rate on which the deferred tax liabilities were based.
The casualty segment is also subject to inflation risk and may be affected by evolving legislation and court decisions that define the extent of coverage and the amount of compensation due for injuries or losses.
The following are some of the key factors we consider for determining if a security is other-than-temporarily impaired: The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, The probability of significant adverse changes to the cash flows, The occurrence of a discrete credit event resulting in the issuer defaulting on a material obligation, the issuer seeking protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws, or the issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization under which creditors are asked to exchange their claims for cash or securities having a fair value substantially lower than par value of their claims or The probability that we will recover the entire amortized cost basis of our fixed income securities prior to maturity.
