The company’s premiums earned for the quarter were $17.05m which is a decrease of 5.5% compared to $18.05m for the same period last year.

Loss before income taxes for the first quarter of 2010 were $309,000 compared to income before income taxes of $890,000 for the same quarter in 2009.

Douglas Gaudet, president and CEO of Penn Millers, said: The significant storm activity during the first quarter made it a particularly difficult quarter for both Penn Millers and the industry. While the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic were particularly hard hit, no part of the country seemed to go unscathed, as even the South and Southwest had record snowfalls and cold snaps.
