HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maiden Holdings, Ltd. MHLD ("Maiden" or "the Company") today reported second quarter 2015 net operating earnings(1) of $28.4 million compared with $28.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. Net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders in the second quarter of 2015 was $20.5 million compared to net income attributable to Maiden common shareholders of $25.8 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Commenting on the Company's results, Art Raschbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Maiden, said: "In the quarter, we benefited from significantly increased investment income, as we put a substantial portion of our first quarter cash balance to work, improved underwriting performance in our international IIS business and continued strength in the AmTrust segment. We continue to realize favorable revenue trends reflecting growth in the AmTrust segment influenced by organic growth and the Tower acquisition. In our Diversified segment, revenue in the quarter was negatively impacted by client M&A activity, but business development, particularly in our international areas is very strong. Newly won and developing accounts are expected to drive growth in the latter part of the year and into 2016. While the second quarter was impacted by adverse excess of loss commercial auto claims development, we believe that we have responded swiftly in taking appropriate actions from an underwriting, claims, and actuarial perspective. We remain confident in our ability to strengthen earnings and enhance returns while continuing to build our unique and highly differentiated business."

In the AmTrust Reinsurance segment, net premiums written increased by 30.3% to $484.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2014 reflecting continued business growth resulting from AmTrust's acquisition of Tower Group business as well as continued organic growth.

Net premiums earned of $609.4 million increased 14.6% compared to the second quarter of 2014. In the Diversified Reinsurance segment, net premiums earned decreased 8.8% to $184.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Commission and other acquisition expenses, including general and administrative expenses, increased $19.3 million to $192.0 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the same quarter a year ago. The total expense ratio(10) dropped to 31.4% for the second quarter of 2015 compared with 32.3% in the same quarter last year, due to a change in business mix. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2015 totaled $16.3 million compared with $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. The general and administrative expense ratio(9) was 2.7% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 2.9% in the second quarter of 2014. 

The combined ratio(11) for the second quarter of 2015 totaled 99.2% compared with 98.0% in the second quarter of 2014. The Diversified Reinsurance segment combined ratio was 104.1% in the second quarter of 2015, up from 97.7% in the second quarter of 2014. The higher Diversified Reinsurance segment combined ratio was due to adverse development in U.S. excess of loss commercial auto liability. The AmTrust Reinsurance segment reported a combined ratio of 95.2% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 95.7% in the second quarter of 2014. The improved combined ratio for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment was due to a change in business mix reflecting earned premium growth in the more profitable workers' compensation line.

Net investment income of $35.2 million in the second quarter of 2015 increased 25.1% compared to the second quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2015, the average yield on the fixed income portfolio (excluding cash) is 3.40% with an average duration of 5.05 years. Cash and cash equivalents were $309.1 million as at June 30, 2015 or $83.4 million lower than at year end 2014.
