Analysis · SAFT · Finance
A strong second quarter saw net income climb to $34.5 million from $28.9 million a year ago, with the combined ratio improving to 95.7%. The six-month view, however, is weighed down by $42.7 million in winter storm losses that pushed the half-year combined ratio to 104.5%. The company also amended its credit facility, doubling it to $100 million. Most critically, the 10-Q discloses a subsequent merger agreement with Mapfre at $105 per share in cash — a deal that values the company at roughly $1.54 billion and will dominate the stock's narrative going forward.
