The earnings call presented a mixed picture for Fidelis Insurance Group. While the company achieved strong premium growth and increased investment income, significant challenges were highlighted, including adverse developments in the aviation segment and losses from natural disasters. The high combined ratio also reflects underlying profitability issues. Although there are positive signs in terms of growth and capital management, the negative aspects weigh heavily on the overall sentiment.
Company Guidance
During the fourth quarter of 2024, Fidelis Insurance Group reported a combined ratio of 99.7%, operating net income of $137 million, and an operating return on average equity of 5.6%. The company experienced $287 million in net prior year development in its aviation and aerospace line due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, impacting results. Excluding this adverse development, Fidelis would have exceeded its long-term return targets. Fidelis achieved gross premiums written growth of 23% to $4.4 billion, with an RPI of 111% for the year. The company returned $152 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks and reported net investment income of $191 million, a 59% increase from the previous year. Despite the impact of recent California wildfires, Fidelis maintains a strong capital position, supporting strategic growth and capital management initiatives.
Strong Premium Growth
Fidelis Insurance Group reported a 23% growth in gross premiums written, totaling $4.4 billion for the year 2024. This was driven by the direct property, marine, and structured credit insurance portfolios, as well as the reinsurance book.
Investment Income Increase
Net investment income increased by 59% from 2023, reaching $191 million. This was attributed to an increase in investable assets and a higher earned yield on the fixed income portfolio and cash balances.
