ALFA CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD 2005 RESULTS

 

Montgomery, Alabama (February 15, 2006) — Alfa Corporation (Nasdaq/NM:ALFA) today announced record financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005. Operating income for the year was a record $95,100,686, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared with operating income of $84,863,334, or $1.05 per diluted share for 2004, an increase of 11.8% on a per share basis. Included in 2005 results is the recognition of a deferred tax asset and subsequent charge to net income for the change in this deferred tax asset, arising from the creation of Alfa Benefits Corporation in 1999. The impact to income for this correction is $1,595,506 or $0.02 per share. Excluding this nonrecurring item operating income was $96,696,192 or $1.20 per diluted share for 2005. Net income, which includes net realized investment gains, was a record $99,033,753, or $1.23 per diluted share for 2005, compared with $89,444,959, or $1.11 per diluted share in 2004, a per share increase of 10.4%. Premiums and policy charges for 2005 increased 13.7% to $633,072,049.

 

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $22,704,120, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared with fourth quarter 2004 operating income of $21,479,250, or $0.27 per diluted share. After net realized investment gains, net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $23,805,346, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with $22,681,694, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Premium revenue for the final three months of 2005 increased 15.7% to $162,908,090.

 

Alfa’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jerry A. Newby, said, “In a year of significant challenges for the insurance industry, we are very pleased with our company’s accomplishments in 2005. Our employees once again rose to the highest levels of performance when, for a second time in as many years, they were faced with the overwhelming task of servicing tens of thousands of Alfa customers whose lives were forever changed by a single force of nature. Their efforts helped generate strong financial performance, producing another year of record earnings. Also, the addition of our two newest companies, Alfa Vision Insurance and Alfa Virginia Mutual, to our inter-company pooling arrangement had a significant positive impact on our top line growth. We are proud of the many successes we achieved during the year, including advances in technology, new product offerings and geographical expansion.

 

“As the new year unfolds, we are excited about what the future holds for our companies. Our emphasis in 2006 will remain on developing our people, building sound relationships, improving our service, and producing solid financial performance.”

Management believes that operating income and operating income per share, non-GAAP financial measures, serve as meaningful tools for assessing the profitability of the Company’s ongoing operations. Operating income is defined by the Company as net income excluding realized investment gains and losses, net of applicable taxes. Operating income per share represents operating income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the reporting period. Management uses operating income and operating income per share as measures of the Company’s ongoing profitability since they eliminate the effect of securities market volatility from earnings.

Definitions of Non-GAAP, GAAP and Operating Measures

 

Management believes that disclosure of the following non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with meaningful tools to assess the Company’s ongoing operations. Our methods of calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies, thereby limiting comparability.

 

Operating Income is defined as net income excluding realized investment gains and losses, net of applicable taxes. Management uses operating income as a measure of the Company’s ongoing profitability since it eliminates the effect of securities market volatility from earnings.

 

Operating Income per Share is defined as operating income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the reporting period. Management uses operating income per share as a measure of the Company’s ongoing profitability since it eliminates the effect of securities market volatility from earnings.

 

Operating Return on Equity (Current Period) is defined as operating income for the trailing 12-month period divided by the simple average of the beginning and ending stockholders’ equity of the same 12-month period.

 

Operating Return on Equity (Prior Period) is defined as operating income for the prior year divided by the simple average of the beginning and ending stockholders’ equity of the same 12-month period.

 

Return on Equity (Current Period) is defined as net income for the trailing 12-month period divided by the simple average of the beginning and ending stockholders’ equity of the same 12-month period.

 

Return on Equity (Prior Period) is defined as net income for the prior year divided by the simple average of the beginning and ending stockholders’ equity of the same 12-month period.

 

Management uses the following GAAP ratios to measure the Company’s ongoing operations. They are calculated as follows:

 

Loss Ratio is defined as incurred losses divided by earned premiums.

 

Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio is defined as loss adjustment expenses divided by earned premiums.

 

Operating Expense Ratio is defined as total operating expenses divided by earned premiums.

 

Combined Ratio is defined as the sum of the loss ratio, the loss adjustment expense ratio and the expense ratio or the sum of incurred losses, loss adjustment expenses and total operating expenses divided by earned premiums.

 

Management uses the following operating statistics to measure components of the Company’s ongoing operations. They are calculated as follows:

 

Lapse Ratio is defined as the number of policies lapsing as a percentage of billings produced during a stated time period.

 

Actual vs. Expected Mortality Ratio is defined as benefit payments divided by the actuarially estimated benefit payments for the stated time period.

 

Persistency Ratio is defined as the annualized premium of policies in force at the end of the period as a percentage of the annualized premium paid at the end of the period.

 

Loan Portfolio Yield is defined as annualized interest income divided by the loan portfolio balance.
