2nd Quarter 2020 Financial Commentary
Energy Insurance Mutual Limited ("EIM") recorded a gain on surplus of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $67.8 million for the same period in 2019. EIM recorded a loss from underwriting of ($3.7) million compared to ($42.7) million in the prior year. Current year underwriting results were impacted by unfavorable loss development on prior year claims in the general liability and director and officers lines of business.
EIM had an investment loss of ($3.1) million for the first six months of 2020 compared to income of $126.8 million for the same period in 2019. Current year investment results were impacted by market volatility related to the impact of COVID-19 on the overall global economy. Mark-to-market decreases were partially offset by income from interest and dividends of $19.3 million.
Highlights from 2020 include:
- Distribution of $50.0 million paid to members of record at December 31, 2019.
- Policyholders’ Surplus of $1.2 billion, an increase of $3.3 million or 0.3% for the year.
- Combined ratio of 103.6% for the first six months 2020 as compared to 155.7% for the same period prior year.
- Membership retention of 100% was achieved in the first six months of 2020.
EIM’s return on investments of -0.02% compared to a benchmark return of 0.49%. The return is a result of losses on US equities of -4.77%, international equities of -12.17%, alternative investment securities of -1.00% and a gain on fixed income securities of 3.26%. Differences between the benchmark and actual return were related to significant volatility resulting from the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, EIM remains in a strong position both operationally and financially, despite the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Operationally, EIM has experienced very little disruption from all business units. Financially, EIM is well within the parameters set out in its current risk tolerance statement of being able to withstand a 1/200 catastrophic event and maintain an A rating by AM Best.

Enterprise Risk Management
ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) plays an integral role in how EIM manages our business. As such, the ERM Committee, reporting to the Board of Directors, has defined the Company's risk tolerance policy as follows.
Corporate Risk Tolerance
We have set our corporate risk tolerance at being able to withstand a modeled 1/200 TVaR annual aggregate occurrence and maintain an "A" rating by AM Best on an entity wide level. The related categories include reserve, underwriting, operational, investment, catastrophe and reinsurer credit risk. Risk capacity is the percentage at or above this level and is used to measure how effectively the Company is managing risk on a quarterly basis.
