Intact Financial Corporation reports second quarter results
CNW Group - Wed Jul 29, 5:55AM CDT
Intact Financial Corporation (TSX: IFC) today reported net operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of $210 million, up $4 million compared to the corresponding quarter of last year. On a per share basis, net operating income increased to $1.56. The success of our profitability initiatives supported by firmer market conditions and favourable prior year claims development led to improved underwriting results, despite the prolonged winter conditions in Atlantic Canada. Overall, the combined ratio of 91.6% was 1.3 percentage points better than the same quarter last year. Net income of $199 million declined this quarter as improved net operating income was offset by lower capital market returns and a higher effective tax rate than a year ago. Direct premiums written grew 6% on an underlying basis to $2.3 billion. The operating ROE for the last 12 months was 16.8%, while maintaining $564 million in excess capital at quarter end, following the all-cash acquisition of CDI in early May.
