"The results reflect strong execution across our underwriting portfolio," Kinsale Capital management said in the earnings release. The company reported the results after the market close on July 23.
Earnings per share reached $5.54, compared with the $5.20 analyst consensus, a beat of $0.34 per share. Revenue of $548.5 million topped the $486.9 million estimate by $61.6 million. The company did not disclose its combined ratio or written premium growth for the quarter.
The beat extends Kinsale Capital's track record of exceeding expectations in the excess and surplus lines market. The Richmond, Virginia-based specialty insurer competes with Berkshire Hathaway's National Indemnity and Markel Corp. in the E&S segment, which has seen pricing remain favorable through recent market cycles. Kinsale Capital has consistently grown its premium base by focusing on small to mid-sized accounts where pricing power remains strong.
The earnings beat signals Kinsale Capital continues to benefit from favorable pricing conditions in the specialty insurance market. Investors will watch for updated guidance on premium growth and loss ratios in the coming quarters, particularly as competition in the E&S market intensifies.
