    FG Financial Reports Profitable Quarter With $5.6 Million Net Income and Accretion in Shareholders' Equity

    FG Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:FGF) (the "Company"), today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023. FG Financial is a reinsurance and asset management holding company focused on collateralized and loss-capped reinsurance and merchant banking that allocates capital in partnership with Fundamental Global®, a private partnership led by Kyle Cerminara and Joe Moglia, as well as other strategic investors.

    FG Financial Group CEO Larry Swets, Jr. commented, "We continued to execute our long-term value creation strategy and delivered strong profitability for the quarter, driven by solid performance in both the reinsurance and merchant banking initiatives. The reinsurance business continues to patiently evaluate potential loss capped contracts and is seeing attractive opportunities as it builds its brand in the marketplace. On the merchant banking side, platform company FG Merger Corp. completed its business combination with iCoreConnect Inc., a software company with an attractive, scalable business model positioned to take advantage of healthcare industry tailwinds. We're pleased with the progress in our merchant banking business and continue to seek asymmetric risk/reward opportunities to allocate capital."

    FG Financial Group Chairman Kyle Cerminara, added, "Our results year to date demonstrate the increasing strength and durability of our business model. Our reinsurance business continues to carefully evaluate opportunities to enter loss capped niche contracts, and our merchant banking segment has a growing portfolio of companies on its platform with attractive end markets and strong management teams. For example, FG Communities has acquired over 20 communities since formation in 2022 and our restaurant brand platform, Craveworthy announced the addition of multiple brands this quarter. As for our SPAC business, FG Merger Corp. completed its business combination with iCoreConnect Inc. and we look forward to being shareholders and sharing in their future success."

    Select 2023 Third Quarter Results and Nine Months Financial Results and Highlights

    FG Financial Group's 2023 third quarter and nine-month financial results included:

    • Net reinsurance premiums earned were $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Net reinsurance premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased to $11.5 million from $9.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in reinsurance premiums for the nine month period was driven by successful execution of the Company's strategy as prior reinsurance contracts concluded profitably and capital re-deployed in new loss-capped reinsurance arrangements.
    • Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $7.0 million compared to net investment income of $11.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The net investment income in the third quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by strong gains from the successful business combination of FG Merger Corp. with iCoreConnect Inc. Net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $8.3 million as compared to $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
    • The Company paid the 8% Series A Preferred Share dividend of $0.45 million, or $0.50 per share, which represents the Company's 22nd consecutive quarter of paying the full dividend due on the 8% Series A Preferred Shares since their issuance in February 2018.
    • General and administrative expense was $2.3 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $2.0 million and $6.0 million for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. This increase in current year periods versus prior year periods was primarily related to an increase in stock compensation expense, a non-cash expense with no impact on shareholders' equity, largely mitigated by decline in several other expense categories.

    Net income attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2023 was $5.2 million, or $0.50 per fully diluted share, compared to $9.8 million, or $1.05 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2022. Net income attributable to common shareholders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, was $2.7 million, or $0.28 per fully diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.4 million or $(0.05) per fully diluted share, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022.

    Balance Sheet Highlights

    As of September 30, 2023, FG Financial Group's key balance sheet items included:

    • Cash and cash equivalents of $5.5 million.
    • Investment holdings totaling $29.5 million, including directly or indirectly held investments in OppFi, iCoreConnect Inc., holdings under the Company's Merchant Banking Platform for FG Acquisition Corp., FG Communities, Craveworthy and other investments.
    • Total shareholders' equity of $42.7 million, an increase of $5.4 million from $37.3 million at December 31, 2022, driven by profitable performance in reinsurance and merchant banking initiatives.
