FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 2/24/2025

Rock Island, IL – February 24, 2025 – ICC Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICCH) (the Company), parent company of Illinois Casualty Company, a regional, multi-line property and casualty insurance company focusing exclusively on the food and beverage industry, today reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

FOURTH QUARTER AND TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 – FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net earnings totaled $1,608,000, or $0.54 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net earnings of $2,861,000, or $0.97 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported net earnings of $5,168,000, or $1.75 per share, compared to net earnings of $4,257,000, or $1.44 per share, for the same period in 2023. The change for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was driven by increased writings and positive changes in net unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. Book value per share increased to $22.86 at December 31, 2024, from $21.35 at December 31, 2023. These changes were driven by improvements to our core insurance business, improvements to our fixed maturity security portfolio, and the improving equity markets.

Direct premiums written increased by $2,270,000, or 9.4%, to $26,361,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, from $24,091,000 for the same period in 2023. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, direct premiums written increased by $10,158,000, or 10.9%, to $103,149,000 compared to $92,991,000 for the same period in 2023. The growth for both periods is primarily due to rate increases. Net premiums earned increased by $2,079,000, or 10.3%, to $22,267,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from $20,188,000 for the same period in 2023. Net premiums earned increased by $8,882,000, or 11.7%, to $84,599,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, from $75,717,000 for the same period in 2023. The growth for both periods is due to rate increases and an increase in policies in force.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company ceded to reinsurers $3,585,000 of earned premiums, compared to $2,637,000 of earned premiums for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company ceded earned premiums of $14,100,000, compared to $10,703,000 for the same period in 2023. This increase is the result of additional direct written premium in the current year plus the addition of a ceding allowance on our first property and casualty reinsurance contracts.

Net investment income increased by $291,000, or 21.1%, to $1,672,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $1,381,000 for the same period in 2023. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, net investment income increased by $1,030,000, or 19.9%, to $6,209,000 from $5,179,000 for the same period in 2023. The increase is the result of continued re-investing of net proceeds at rates far greater than we are disposing of them and market improvements.

Net unrealized losses and gains on equity securities decreased $160,000 year over year to $84,000 in losses for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to gains of $76,000 for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the fourth quarter was the result of the underperformance of the Company's investment in healthcare, materials, and construction equities. Net unrealized gains on equity securities increased $914,000 year over year to $2,050,000 in gains as of December 31, 2024, compared to a gain of $1,136,000 as of December 31, 2023. This increase reflects the overall gains in the equity markets in 2024.

Losses and settlement expenses increased by $1,273,000, or 11.3%, to $12,504,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, from $11,231,000 for the same period in 2023. Losses and settlement expenses increased by $5,608,000, or 11.7%, to $53,538,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, from $47,930,000 for the same period in 2023. The increases for both periods were driven in large part by prior year development of Liquor Liability claims.

Policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses increased by $1,237,000, or 16.1%, to $8,935,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, from $7,698,000 for the same period in 2023. Policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses increased by $3,459,000, or 12.1%, to $31,981,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, from $28,522,000 for the same period in 2023. The primary drivers for this change were costs related to the merger and resolved proxy contest along with positive earned premium growth. Legal and consulting expenses are up $1,217,000 in 2024 due to the resolved proxy contest and the pending merger. 

Total assets increased by $24,343,000, or 11.5%, from $211,017,000 on December 31, 2023, to $235,360,000 on December 31, 2024. This increase was partially due to $12.3M in positive cash flow from operations, which allowed the Company to increase the investment portfolio. The investment portfolio, which consists of fixed income securities, common stocks, preferred stocks, property held for investment, and other invested assets, increased by $10,230,000, or 7.3%, from $140,853,000 on December 31, 2023, to $151,083,000 on December 31, 2024. This increase was due mainly to our increased investment holdings. 

Total equity increased by $4,742,000, or 7.1%, from $67,004,000 as of December 31, 2023, to $71,746,000 as of December 31, 2024. The main driver of this increase was our net earnings.

fourth QUARTER ENDED December 31, 2024 – FINANCIAL RATIOS

The Company’s losses and settlement expense ratio (defined as losses and settlement expenses divided by net premiums earned) was 56.2% and 63.3% for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared with 55.6% and 63.3% for the same periods in 2023.

The expense ratio (defined as the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and underwriting and administrative expenses divided by net premiums earned) was 40.1% and 37.8% for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 38.1% and 37.7% for the same periods in 2023.

The Company’s GAAP combined ratio (defined as the sum of the losses and settlement expense ratio and the expense ratio) was 96.3% and 101.1% for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 93.7% and 101.0% for the same periods in 2023.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"As our premiums grew in 2024, so to did our operational efficiencies. Our combined ratio excluding merger and resolved proxy contest expenses was 99.7%, or 1.3% lower than our 2023 combined ratio. I anticipate this trend to continue in 2025. Our loss and settlement expense ratio remains stable at 63.3% despite a challenging liquor liability market in 2024 as our underwriters ensure we maintain a balanced portfolio of insureds.

"Increased rates and holdings expanded our net investment income. In addition, improvements in the equity markets increased our unrealized gains on investments.

"As we continue to build on our solid foundation, I am very optimistic about 2025," stated Arron Sutherland, President and Chief Executive Officer.
