Consolidated Hallmark Insurance Plc said it posted a premium income of N4.67 billion in 2014 compared to the N4.15 billion recorded in 2013.
The company recorded an underwriting profit of N863.2 million compared to N1.05 billion recorded in 2013.
Profit Before Tax (PBT) jumped from a loss situation of N181.1 million in 2013 to N205.6 million in 2014 while profit after tax also grew from a negative position of N200.5 million in 2013 to a profit of N193 million in 2014.
The Company’s Chairman, Obi Ekezie, said the results have placed the company again on the path of profitability, a trend which was only broken briefly during the 2013 financial year when significant provision was made for impairment charges.
He maintained that the temporary setback witnessed by the firm has been reversed with these results, stressing that the unaudited financial statements of the company for the half year ended June 30, 2015 is indicative of the improved health in its finances.
