Intact Financial Corporation (TSX: IFC) today reported net operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 of $59 million, down $63 million compared to the corresponding quarter of last year. On a per share basis, net operating income decreased by $0.48 to $0.41. The decrease reflects the impact of unprecedented pre-tax catastrophe losses of $273 million net of reinsurance (an after-tax loss of $201 million or $1.52 per share). The catastrophe losses incurred during the quarter resulted from major rain and hail storms in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta as well as the Lac-Mégantic tragedy. The decline in net operating income led to net income of $47 million compared to $92 million for the same period last year. Adjusted earnings per share, which excludes integration-related costs, was $0.39 compared to $0.90. Improved current year results in personal property and higher favourable prior year claims development were outweighed by significantly higher catastrophe losses for an overall combined ratio of 102.8%. Direct premiums written increased 6% to $1.9 billion, reflecting primarily the addition of Jevco's product suite.

The decrease reflects a pre-tax loss of $143 million net of reinsurance (an after-tax loss of $105 million or $0.79 per share) incurred as a result of the storms and flooding in Alberta. Net income was $103 million compared to $129 million for the same period last year and adjusted earnings per share, which excludes integration-related costs, was $0.81 compared to $1.08. Solid underlying results in auto were outweighed by higher catastrophe losses and less favourable current year results for an overall combined ratio of 97.5%.

Direct premiums written increased 10% to $2.2 billion, reflecting the addition of Jevco and solid organic growth.
