ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 04 5 2022 16:30:00 America/New_York
TAMPA, Fla., May 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE:HCI), a holding company with operations in homeowners insurance, information technology services, real estate, and reinsurance, reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
First Quarter 2022 - Financial Results
Net income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $2.8 million or $0.09 diluted earnings per share compared with net income of $6.8 million or $0.75 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes net unrealized gains or losses on equity securities) for the first quarter of 2022 was $5.5 million or $0.34 diluted earnings per share compared with adjusted net income of $7.0 million or $0.77 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2021. This press release includes an explanation of adjusted net income as well as a reconciliation to net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (known as “GAAP”).Consolidated gross written premiums of $177.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 increased 40.9% from $125.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. Homeowners Choice gross written premiums grew from $81.0 million to $91.1 million, and TypTap Insurance Company gross written premiums grew from $44.8 million to $86.2 million.
Consolidated gross premiums earned of $178.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 increased 36.6% from $130.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. Homeowners Choice gross premiums earned grew from $102.1 million to $118.3 million, and TypTap gross premiums earned grew from $28.8 million to $60.6 million.
Premiums ceded for reinsurance for the first quarter of 2022 increased to $53.2 million from $43.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 and represented 29.7% and 32.9%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The increase in reinsurance costs primarily reflects premium growth at both Homeowners Choice and TypTap.
Net investment income for the first quarter of 2022 was $2.9 million compared with $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.7 million decrease in income from real estate investments primarily due to a gain from a legal settlement in the first quarter of 2021, offset by a $1 million increase in income from limited partnership investments.
Net realized investment losses were $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $1.1 million of net realized investment gains in the first quarter of 2021. Net unrealized investment losses were $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with net unrealized investment losses of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $72.7 million compared with $45.8 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the company’s growing premium base and weather-related losses in Florida.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $29.4 million compared with $23.1 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase primarily relates to premium growth for both Homeowners Choice and TypTap.
General and administrative personnel expenses increased to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $9.7 million for the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to higher stock-based compensation expense and an increase in payroll related to growth of the business.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.6 million compared with $2.1 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease resulted from conversions of our 4.25% convertible senior notes to common stock during the second half of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income is a Non-GAAP financial measure that removes from net income of HCI's portion of the effect of unrealized gains or losses on equity securities required to be included in results of operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 321. HCI Group believes net income without the effect of volatility in equity prices more accurately depicts operating results. This financial measurement is not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. A reconciliation of GAAP Net income to Non-GAAP Adjusted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share to Non-GAAP Adjusted diluted earnings per share is provided below.
