Atlantic American Corporation Reports Significant Increase in Net Income for Q2 2025

ATLANTA, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlantic American Corporation (Nasdaq- AAME) today reported net income of $3.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to net loss of ($0.7) million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2024. The Company had net income of $4.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the six month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to net loss of ($2.7) million, or ($0.14) per diluted share, for the six month period ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of increases in premium revenue, coupled with an increase in unrealized gains on equity securities.

Operating income increased $2.7 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2025 from the three month period ended June 30, 2024. For the six month period ended June 30, 2025, operating income increased $5.4 million from the comparable period in 2024. The increase in operating income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of increases in premium revenue within the inland marine line of business in the property and casualty operations, as well as increases in the Medicare supplement and group accident and health lines of business within the life and health operations.

Commenting on the results, Hilton H. Howell, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report exceptional financial results this quarter, marked by a significant increase in net income and continued improvement in operating income. Our property & casualty and life & health segments each delivered strong earned premium growth, supported by steady new business momentum and retention of existing contracts. These results underscore the resilience of our business model, the effectiveness of our growth strategy and the benefits of our diversified product offerings. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver sustained, profitable growth and drive long-term value creation for our shareholders.”

Note regarding non-GAAP financial measure: Atlantic American Corporation presents its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the Company may present, in its public statements, press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, non-GAAP financial measures such as operating income (loss). We define operating income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding: (i) income tax expense (benefit); (ii) realized investment (gains) losses, net; and (iii) unrealized (gains) losses on equity securities, net. Management believes operating income (loss) is a useful metric for investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others because it isolates the “core” operating results of the Company before considering certain items that are either beyond the control of management (such as income tax expense (benefit), which is subject to timing, regulatory and rate changes depending on the timing of the associated revenues and expenses) or are not expected to regularly impact the Company’s operating results (such as any realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), which are not a part of the Company’s primary operations and are, to a limited extent, subject to discretion in terms of timing of realization). The financial data attached includes a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company’s definition of operating income (loss) may differ from similarly titled financial measures used by others. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
