$UIHC: Buyers showd up this week..............

A real sweet move by a DOUBLE.


Here comes that $1 break.
















GO $UIHC

[Level2Me]

What is that color on the chart? It's not red today....Lol

[fishhunter]

It should get at least that high this year

[Level2Me]

This stock is sooo boring. I'm not looking for any adrenaline rush, and normally I want to say "it's so boring --- I love it!" But of course it needs to grow from here, even if only into the $5-6 range.

[fishhunter]

I keep buying more and more as I wait. 2022 PE is 5. Trading at less than half BV. Nice Div yield and the kicker is several insiders bought lots of shares at Higher prices! Lovin it

[Level2Me]

We hope and wait

[fishhunter]

This should be an easy double in 2022. EPS will explode upward.

[fishhunter]

Great stock to buy right now TODAY. 5 bagger over next couple years.

[fishhunter]

And a nice step up today on news of a profitable Q4 and STRONG 2022. Read the cc transcript.

[fishhunter]

What a glorious run we are on! Should get to $6 within days!

[fishhunter]

Yep, that is the way to it. Me as well.
More and more of the higher premiums are being implemented and earned each month.
EPS for 2022 will easily push $1.
About the only risk is if the Exec team wanted to take it private.

[Level2Me]

Rightfully so! I've been averaging down basically since $6, so accumulated some chunk of shares already.

[fishhunter]

And more today!

[fishhunter]

I am adding lots of shares today. It is being confused with a different company.

[Level2Me]

Haha was a fluke.... I guess keep waiting

[Level2Me]

Interesting AH. What gives?

[Level2Me]

Seemed like a decent report. I listened to the CC but they didn't seem too excited.

[fishhunter]

10 within 5 months.
15 within 12-18 months.
Decent Q1 report tonight.

[Level2Me]

Realistic PT?

[fishhunter]

Longer and stronger today than a week ago. Hold for a couple years and reap the rewards. Last years crazy named storm season and massive losses will result in higher rates moving forward. So that together with normal weather and profits will be big. Oh, and if interest rates rise, any insurance company is a great stock to own.

[fishhunter]

Long and strong!

[fishhunter]

Multi year run is now underway!
Finally.

[fishhunter]

Yep I’m sorta holding my breath. Long term it will be higher but over the next 1 or 2 months hard to say.

[Level2Me]

Seems to have held most of the Monday and Tuesday gains, even after that PR. Still, interested to see how this develops

[fishhunter]

Might get another chance to get in low. They issued a PR last evening with some rather sizable hurricane losses. Not sure if that comes as a surprise to investors. Will know for sure in 30minutes!

[Level2Me]

Never pulled the trigger, funds tied .... wrote a covered call elsewhere and that position moved up, so just sitting out for a few days.

[fishhunter]

Nice day!

[fishhunter]

Because the markets are inefficient.
They are low due to all the 2020 hurricane losses.
Long term this helps the company cuz they can increase rates AND a repeat of 2020 is unlikely.
I hope you bought some!

[Level2Me]

I've been looking at it over the weekend. Book value at $10? How come it's trading at half that?

[fishhunter]

Bought a pile more sub 4.50. A true gift!

[fishhunter]

Started buying this today. Will add all day under $5. A gift.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 13, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Insurance Holdings Corp. (OTCBB:UIHC) (OTCBB:UIHCW; (OTCBB:UIHCU) ("United" or the "Company"), a property and casualty insurance holding company, announced unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Don Cronin, United's CEO, stated, "We continue to see healthy growth throughout our business. Comparing this year's first quarter to last year's first quarter, we have increased gross written premium by approximately 27% and we have grown our policyholder base by approximately 37%. We have also filed for a rate increase for our homeowner product that is currently pending with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, which will help support our growth as we bear the costs of providing protection for our policyholders." Mr. Cronin also stated, "During this period of growth, we have continued to maintain our disciplined underwriting while focusing on diversifying our concentration of risk throughout the state. We are gratified by our results over the past few quarters, and will continue to focus on potential growth for United."

Annual Cash Dividend Declared

The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared an annual cash dividend of $0.15 per share for 2009 to be paid at $0.05 per share per quarter during the next three quarters. The first dividend will be payable on June 15, 2009, to shareholders of record on May 31, 2009. The Board of Directors intends to maintain a similar dividend policy beyond 2009.

Nick Griffin, United's CFO, stated, "Our success is evidenced by our profitable operations and we are excited to share this success with our stockholders by providing a dividend." Mr. Griffin further stated, "We continue to have the ability and intent to pursue growth opportunities and acquisitions, and continue to focus on maximizing book value without taking excessive risk."

2009 First Quarter Financial Review

Gross premiums written increased 27.3% to $37.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to growth in new business, improved policy retention and the assumption of 1,700 policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation ("Citizens") during the quarter. The Company does not plan on assuming any additional policies from Citizens until after the 2009 hurricane season.

For the first quarter of 2009, losses and loss adjustment expenses were $7.2 million, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As a result of the increase in homeowner policies-in-force during the last few quarters, we increased our reserves for the risk of loss associated with this growth. Conversely, we reduced loss reserves related to Tropical Storm Fay from $3.3 million at December 31, 2008, to $2.7 million at March 31, 2009 and attributed this favorable loss development to our conservative loss reserving practices.

Net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $3.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.5 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, United's net realized investment losses were $2.7 million, primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment charge on certain equity holdings of the Company totaling $1.9 million, or 1.1% of our total cash and investment holdings. United's cash and investment holdings totaled $172.3 million at March 31, 2009, and consisted primarily of investments in U.S. Treasuries, government agencies and high-quality corporate debt. Fixed maturities and cash represented approximately 94.4% of United's total investments at March 31, 2009.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's Non-GAAP operating income before taxes was $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP operating income before taxes is income before income taxes less any realized gains plus any realized losses on securities. The $3.0 million decrease in operating income before taxes is primarily the result of a $2.9 million policy assumption bonus from Citizens in the first quarter of 2008. We did not receive any such bonus in the first quarter of 2009.

Conference Call

The Company will discuss these results in a conference call on Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. ET.

The dial-in numbers are:



[phone] (U.S.)

The conference call will also be broadcast live via the "Investor Relations" section of United's website at www.upcic.com.

Reported results may therefore, appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods. The Company undertakes no obligations to update, change or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, additional or subsequent developments or otherwise.

(1) Non-GAAP operating income before taxes is used as an important financial measure by management, analysts and investors, because the realization of investment gains and losses in any given period is largely discretionary as to timing and could distort the analysis of trends. Non-GAAP operating income is defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This supplemental financial measure is not required by GAAP, nor is the presentation of this financial information intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with United's earnings results as determined in accordance with GAAP. United's management believes that it is important to provide investors with these same tools, together with a reconciliation to GAAP, for evaluating the performance of United's business, as it may provide additional insight into United's financial results. A reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income before taxes to GAAP income before income taxes is provided in the table above.

Gilead-regarding FMGQW

I noticed there is some chatter about FMGQW on the VMC Motherboard. However, since I am not a paying member, I cannot post. If you could be so kind as to post this message for me on the board to inform some investors, that would be great!!

FMG Acquisition Corp's Warrants (FMGQW) are priced at a measly .25! The warrants took a huge dive on small volume during this panic going on in the market. Current stock price of FMGQ is $7.51. Which means if this deal closed today, the warrants would be valued around $1.51. The shareholder's meeting to approve of the merger is scheduled for September 29, 2008, which is just around the corner. Chances of the merger being approved is 99.99%. According to the 8-k filed on 3/31/08, the officers and directors own 19% of the common stock, Bulldog Investors, whom have pledged to vote in favor of the merger own 14% of the common stock, and HBK Investments, whom have also pledged to vote in favor of the merger, own 9%. Combined, all 3 of these groups own 42% of all of the common stock. All we need is 50% to get the shareholder approval.

Per the company's prospectus
"Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $6.00. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of our completion of a business combination or October 4, 2008, and will expire on October 4, 2011, or earlier upon redemption."

Also, please note that the company plans to list its stock on the Nasdaq or AMEX upon completion of this merger.

The company's original prospectus filing:

If you want to see similar companies with warrants and their performance, take a look at HYDQW, PRIMW, and HEK.WS. All of these stock warrants have given absolutely staggering rates of return. I think FMGQW is next.

One thing I could think of...

Is UVE exposed to higher risk disaster areas? If so, perhaps this is why the P/E is so low.

I have not followed the company and I do not know much about it.

FMGQ avoids high risk areas.

Weird it seems to be back now?

Here it is though

Thanks Stanley. UVE was something I was definitely wondering about. They sound like the closest example of a similarly situated public company and it is trading at a considerably lower PE. There may be good reasons but my main question was whether or not the stock is really cheap because the warrants cannot be excercised until Oct and if the stock did happen to be too expensive it might explain the big discount.

Again haven't mucked with these and I don't know how they trade but it was interesting that if you put them at a PE similar to UVE the warrants are actually pretty close to fair value now.

It very well may justify a higher PE. I am not saying it doesn't just wondering if there is a specific reason they get a bigger number. KiK might be the guy to ask.

gilead re: FMGQW please repost

May you please repost your message on the FMGQW board? For some reason, the original message has an error on it and IHUB is not allowing me to view it. Thanks!
