Margins top of the notch

Compared to other insurance companies, Old Republic International Corporation (ORI) has an exceptional gross margin. At 62.95%, this is more than twice as high as the next best competitor and illustrates how efficiently the company is managed and how profitable its customer relationships are.

Sales development

Old Republic International Corporation's sales are currently stagnating at around USD 7 billion and are not showing any significant growth. Growth rates are even slightly negative. However, this is not necessarily an alarming sign if the company is simultaneously working more efficiently and retaining high-quality customers. As is usual with insurance companies, the net result also shows a certain stagnation. However, it should be borne in mind that the company would be extremely profitable in years with few claims.

Sales distribution and EBT influence

A look at the distribution of turnover shows that the majority of revenue comes from insurance income, which can be seen as positive. This means that Old Republic International (ORI) is less dependent on interest income or investment gains. A closer look at the sources of income makes it clear that investments are not ORI's core strength.

However, it is important to note that ORI's core business - insurance - is directly profitable. The largest share of EBT (earnings before taxes) also comes from the general insurance segment, which also accounts for the largest share of sales. This shows a solid business structure in which the core business generates profits independently and is not dependent on volatile investment profits.

FCF

Old Republic International's free cash flow (FCF) is positive, which is typical for an insurance company and indicates solid operating activities. However, the cash flow from financing activities is negative every year. This indicates that the company regularly returns capital to shareholders, be it through dividend payments, share buybacks or the repayment of debt.

A closer look shows that the negative cash flow from financing activities is mainly due to share buybacks and dividend payments. This is not necessarily negative, as such measures are aimed at returning value directly to shareholders. This aspect can therefore be considered largely unproblematic.

This strategy indicates that ORI pursues a conservative financial policy and strives to continuously provide value to its shareholders, even if the company uses external sources of financing.
