Ambac Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

Closes the acquisition of Beat Capital Partners

Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMBC) ("Ambac" or "AFG"), a financial services holding company, today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Net loss under $(1) million or $(0.02) per diluted share and Adjusted net income of $8 million or $0.18 per diluted share
  • Insurance Distribution ("Cirrata") generated net income of $1 million and EBITDA of $2 million on $53 million of premiums placed
  • Specialty P&C Insurance ("Everspan") produced Gross Premium Written of $111 million up 109% from second quarter of 2023
  • Total P&C Premium Production of $165 million, an increase of 75% from the second quarter of 2023
  • Legacy Financial Guarantee segment net income of $11 million
  • Completed the acquisition of a 60% controlling stake in Beat Capital Partners, a rapidly expanding U.K. based MGA operator and incubator for $278 million, effective July 31, 2024
  • Agreed to sell the Legacy Financial Guarantee Business for $420M to Oaktree Capital Management pending regulatory and shareholder approvals

Claude LeBlanc, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "This quarter we substantially advanced Ambac's transformation into a pure-play specialty P&C company, a goal we have been working towards for several years. We are turning the page on our past with the agreement to sell our Legacy Financial Guarantee Business for $420 million. We have also set the stage for our future, as a growth-orientated, capital light, insurance distribution platform with the acquisition of 60% of Beat Capital Partners for approximately $278 million. With this acquisition we have cemented our position to be a premier destination for best-in-class underwriters and MGAs."

LeBlanc continued, “In connection with these transactions, following the sale of our Legacy Financial Guarantee Business, Ambac will initiate a share repurchase program of up to $50 million. This share repurchase program reflects our view that the current share price of our stock does not capture the go forward value of our P&C platform post the sale of AAC."

  • Gross premium written ("GPW") and Net premium written ("NPW") grew substantially in the second quarter of 2024 relative to the second quarter of 2023 as Everspan continues to add new programs and existing programs scale.
  • Combined ratio of 109.4% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 112.7% in the second quarter of 2023 and 98.4% in the prior quarter.
  • The loss and loss expense ratio for the second quarter of 2024 was 85.1% compared to 73.7% for the second quarter of 2023. This quarter's result include 6.9% of prior accident year development which was partially offset by a sliding scale benefit recorded as an offset to acquisition costs. This quarter's loss ratio also includes a 4.2% true-up from the first quarter of 2024, as elevated commercial auto frequency led to a reevaluation of loss picks.
  • Expense ratio(1) of 24.3% for the second quarter of 2024 was down from 39.0% in the prior year period as expenses continue to normalize on a relative basis. In addition, sliding scale commissions, linked to loss ratios on certain programs, reduced the expense ratio by 5.6% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 4.2% in the prior year period.
  • During the quarter Everspan took several proactive measurers to address the rising loss trend in commercial auto. These included placing a moratorium on one commercial auto program for writing new business.

  • Premiums placed and commission income grew during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 driven by the August 2023 acquisition of Riverton Insurance Agency, organic growth elsewhere, particularly within our specialty commercial auto platform, and a change in timing related to a renewal at our A&H platform.
  • General and administrative expenses of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period, the increase was largely related to recent acquisitions and growth initiatives at existing business.
  • EBITDA of $2.4 million for the quarter was up 47.4% over second quarter of 2023; EBITDA margin of 18.1% for the quarter compared to 16.3% last year was positively impacted by business mix changes and growth initiatives.

Total Specialty P&C Insurance Production

Specialty P&C Insurance production, which includes gross premiums written by Ambac's Specialty P&C Insurance segment and premiums placed by the Insurance Distribution segment, totaled $165 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 74.9% from the second quarter of 2023.

Specialty P&C Insurance revenues are dependent on gross premiums written as specialty program insurance companies earn premiums based on the portion of gross premiums written retained (i.e. net premiums written) and fees on gross premiums written that are ceded to reinsurers. Insurance Distribution revenues are dependent on premium volume as Managing General Agents/Underwriters and brokers receive commissions based on the amount of premiums placed (i.e. gross premiums written on behalf of insurance carriers) with insurance carriers.

  • Net premiums earned of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 decreased from $7.5 million in the prior year period. This decrease was a result of organic run-off of the insured portfolio and the impact of proactive de-risking transactions.
  • Watch List and Adversely Classified Credits ("WLACC") decreased 2.3% (2.2%, excluding the impact of FX) to $5.3 billion in second quarter of 2024, from March 31, 2024.
  • NPO was $18.7 billion at second quarter of 2024 a decrease of 1.9% (2.0%, excluding the impact of FX) from March 31, 2024, due to de-risking, run-off and the impact of FX rates.
  • Second quarter of 2024 results included a one time net gain of $12 million related to the termination of a benefit plan.

Consolidated Financial Information

Net Premiums Earned

During the second quarter of 2024, net premiums earned of $33 million, increased 113.0% compared to the second quarter of 2023, driven by significant growth in the Specialty P&C businesses.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the second quarter of 2024 was $36 million compared to net investment income of $35 million for the second quarter of 2023. Higher yields on the available for sale investment portfolio more than offset lower income from trading and alternative investments.

Losses and Loss Expenses(Benefit)

Incurred Losses (Benefit) for the second quarter of 2024 were $18 million, compared to $7 million for the second quarter of 2023.

The Incurred Loss for the second quarter of 2024 was driven by the growth and reserve development in the Specialty P&C segment which more than offset the $5 million benefit in the Legacy Financial Guarantee business.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2024 were $47 million compared to $36 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was attributable to legal and advisory costs incurred through the Corporate Segment in connection with the disposition of the Legacy Financial Guarantee Business and the acquisition of Beat Capital Partners.

AFG (holding company only) Assets

AFG on a standalone basis, excluding its ownership interests in its Specialty P&C Insurance, Insurance Distribution, and Legacy Financial Guarantee subsidiaries, had net assets of $202 million as of June 30, 2024. Assets included cash and liquid securities of $171 million and other investments of $32 million.

Consolidated Ambac Financial Group, Inc. Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2024, was $1.37 billion, or $30.25 per share compared to $1.37 billion or $30.19 per share as of March 31, 2024. The net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1 million was partially offset by net unrealized investment gains of $4 million and foreign exchange translation gains of $1 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Data

In addition to reporting the Company’s quarterly financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company is reporting non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Book Value and EBITDA Margin. These amounts are derived from our consolidated financial information, but are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We present non-GAAP supplemental financial information because we believe such information is of interest to the investment community, and that it provides greater transparency and enhanced visibility into the underlying drivers and performance of our businesses on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent on a GAAP basis. We view these non-GAAP financial measures as important indicators when assessing and evaluating our performance on a segmented and consolidated basis and they are presented to improve the comparability of our results between periods by eliminating the impact of the items that may not be representative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for the Company’s GAAP reporting, should not be viewed in isolation and may differ from similar reporting provided by other companies, which may define non-GAAP measures differently.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) — We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted to reflect the following items: (i) net investment (gains) losses, including impairments; (ii) amortization of intangible assets; (iii) litigation costs, including attorneys fees and other expenses to defend litigation against the Company, excluding loss adjustment expenses; (iv) foreign exchange (gains) losses; (v) workforce change costs, which primarily include severance and other costs related to employee terminations; and (vi) net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted Net Income is also adjusted for the effect of the above items on both income taxes and noncontrolling interests. The income tax effects are determined by applying the statutory tax rate in each jurisdiction that generate these adjustments. The noncontrolling interest adjustments relate to subsidiaries where Ambac does not own 100%

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $8.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2024 compared to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) of $3.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to the non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

EBITDA margin — We define EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by total revenues. We report EBITDA margin for the Insurance Distribution segment only.

Adjusted Book Value. Adjusted book value is defined as Total Ambac Financial Group, Inc. stockholders’ equity as reported under GAAP, adjusted for after-tax impact of the following:

  • Insurance intangible asset: Elimination of the financial guarantee insurance intangible asset that arose as a result of Ambac’s emergence from bankruptcy and the implementation of Fresh Start reporting. This adjustment ensures that all financial guarantee contracts are accounted for within adjusted book value consistent with the provisions of the Financial Services—Insurance Topic of the ASC.
  • Net unearned premiums and fees in excess of expected losses: Addition of the value of the unearned premium revenue ("UPR") on financial guarantee contracts, in excess of expected losses, net of reinsurance. This non-GAAP adjustment presents the economics of UPR and expected losses for financial guarantee contracts on a consistent basis. In accordance with GAAP, stockholders’ equity reflects a reduction for expected losses only to the extent they exceed UPR. However, when expected losses are less than UPR for a financial guarantee contract, neither expected losses nor UPR have an impact on stockholders’ equity. This non-GAAP adjustment adds UPR in excess of expected losses, net of reinsurance, to stockholders’ equity for financial guarantee contracts where expected losses are less than UPR. This adjustment is only made for financial guarantee contracts since such premiums are non-refundable.
  • Net unrealized investment (gains) losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income: Elimination of the unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s investments that are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of income taxes.

Ambac has a significant U.S. tax net operating loss (“NOL”) that is offset by a full valuation allowance in the GAAP consolidated financial statements. As a result of this, tax planning strategies and other considerations, we utilized a 0% effective tax rate for non-GAAP operating adjustments to Adjusted Book.

Adjusted book value was $1.32 billion, or $29.23 per share, at June 30, 2024, as compared to $1.31 billion, or $29.03 per share, at March 31, 2024.

About Ambac

Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (“Ambac” or “AFG”) is a specialty insurance holding company headquartered in New York City. Ambac’s core business is a growing specialty P&C distribution and underwriting platform. Ambac also has a legacy financial guarantee business in run-off which we have agreed to sell to funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management pending regulatory and shareholder approval. Ambac’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AMBC”. Ambac is committed to providing timely and accurate information to the investing public, consistent with our legal and regulatory obligations.

For more information, please go to www.ambac.com.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Ambac contains substantial restrictions on the ability to transfer Ambac’s common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, any attempted transfer of common stock shall be prohibited and void to the extent that, as a result of such transfer (or any series of transfers of which such transfer is a part), any person or group of persons shall become a holder of 5% or more of Ambac’s common stock or a holder of 5% or more of Ambac’s common stock increases its ownership interest.

Words such as “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “planned,” “potential” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and “may,” or the negative of those expressions or verbs, identify forward-looking statements. We caution readers that these statements are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, which may by their nature be inherently uncertain and some of which may be outside our control. These statements may relate to plans and objectives with respect to the future, among other things which may change. We are alerting you to the possibility that our actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the expected objectives or anticipated results that may be suggested, expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our results to differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our most recent SEC filed quarterly or annual report.

Any or all of management’s forward-looking statements here or in other publications may turn out to be incorrect and are based on management’s current belief or opinions. Ambac Financial Group’s (“AFG”) and its subsidiaries’ (collectively, “Ambac” or the “Company”) actual results may vary materially, and there are no guarantees about the performance of Ambac’s securities. Among events, risks, uncertainties or factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: (1) the high degree of volatility in the price of AFG’s common stock; (2) uncertainty concerning the Company’s ability to achieve value for holders of its securities, whether from Ambac Assurance Corporation (“AAC”) and its subsidiaries or from the specialty property and casualty insurance business, the insurance distribution business, or related businesses; (3) inadequacy of reserves established for losses and loss expenses and the possibility that changes in loss reserves may result in further volatility of earnings or financial results; (4) potential for rehabilitation proceedings or other regulatory intervention or restrictions against AAC; (5) credit risk throughout Ambac’s business, including but not limited to credit risk related to insured residential mortgage-backed securities, student loan and other asset securitizations, public finance obligations (including risks associated with Chapter 9 and other restructuring proceedings), issuers of securities in our investment portfolios, and exposures to reinsurers; (6) our inability to effectively reduce insured financial guarantee exposures or achieve recoveries or investment objectives; (7) AAC’s inability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to service its debt and financial obligations, and its inability to refinance its indebtedness; (8) AAC’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating flexibility; (9) Ambac may not be able to obtain financing, refinance its outstanding indebtedness, or raise capital on acceptable terms or at all due to its substantial indebtedness and financial condition; (10) greater than expected underwriting losses in the Company’s specialty property and casualty insurance business; (11) failure of specialty insurance program partners to properly market, underwrite or administer policies; (12) inability to obtain reinsurance coverage on expected terms; (13) loss of key relationships for production of business in specialty property and casualty and insurance distribution businesses or the inability to secure such additional relationships to produce expected results; (14) the impact of catastrophic public health, environmental or natural events, or global or regional conflicts; (15) credit risks related to large single risks, risk concentrations and correlated risks; (16) risks associated with adverse selection as Ambac’s financial guarantee insurance portfolio runs off; (17) the risk that Ambac’s risk management policies and practices do not anticipate certain risks and/or the magnitude of potential for loss; (18) restrictive covenants in agreements and instruments that impair Ambac’s ability to pursue or achieve its business strategies; (19) adverse effects on operating results or the Company’s financial position resulting from measures taken to reduce financial guarantee risks in its insured portfolio; (20) disagreements or disputes with Ambac's insurance regulators; (21) loss of control rights in transactions for which we provide financial guarantee insurance; (22) inability to realize expected recoveries of financial guarantee losses; (23) risks attendant to the change in composition of securities in Ambac’s investment portfolio; (24) adverse impacts from changes in prevailing interest rates; (25) events or circumstances that result in the impairment of our intangible assets and/or goodwill that was recorded in connection with Ambac’s acquisitions; (26) factors that may negatively influence the amount of installment premiums paid to Ambac; (27) the risk of litigation, regulatory inquiries, investigations, claims or proceedings, and the risk of adverse outcomes in connection therewith; (28) the Company’s ability to adapt to the rapid pace of regulatory change; (29) actions of stakeholders whose interests are not aligned with broader interests of Ambac's stockholders; (30) system security risks, data protection breaches and cyber attacks; (31) regulatory oversight of Ambac Assurance UK Limited (“Ambac UK”) and applicable regulatory restrictions may adversely affect our ability to realize value from Ambac UK or the amount of value we ultimately realize; (32) failures in services or products provided by third parties; (33) political developments that disrupt the economies where the Company has insured exposures; (34) our inability to attract and retain qualified executives, senior managers and other employees, or the loss of such personnel; (35) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (36) failure to realize our business expansion plans or failure of such plans to create value; (37) greater competition for our specialty property and casualty insurance business and/or our insurance distribution business; (38) loss or lowering of the AM Best rating for our property and casualty insurance company subsidiaries; (39) disintermediation within the insurance industry or greater competition from technology-based insurance solutions or non-traditional insurance markets; (40) changes in law or in the functioning of the healthcare market that impair the business model of our accident and health managing general underwriter; (41) failure to consummate the proposed sale of all of the common stock of AAC and the transactions contemplated by the related stock purchase agreement (the “Sale Transactions”) in a timely manner or at all; (42) potential litigation relating to the proposed Sale Transactions; (43) disruptions from the proposed Sale Transactions that may harm Ambac’s business, including current plans and operations; (44) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed Sale Transactions; (45) difficulties in integrating acquired businesses into our business; and (46) other risks and uncertainties that have not been identified at this time.
