What is this Case About: James River Group Holdings, Ltd. (JRVR) Lacked Efficient Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) James River lacked effective internal controls regarding the recognition of reinstatement premiums for reinsurance; (2) as a result, the Company overstated its net income; and (3) the Company was reasonably likely to restate its financial results.

Plaintiff alleges that on November 7, 2023, the Company announced its third quarter 2023 financial results in a press release, wherein James River disclosed that it had “identified an error in the accounting for reinstatement premium . . . in its Excess & Surplus Lines segment” in the previously issued financial statements for the second quarter of 2023. Specifically, the error resulted in overstatements of net income of $7.8 million and $10.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as well as understatements of ceded written premium, and overstatements of net written premium and net earned premium of $9.4 million and $12.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Moreover, it had identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting because the “Company’s control over the review of the determination of when reinstatement premiums for reinsurance should be recognized did not operate effectively[.]”

On this news, the Company’s share price fell $0.99, or 7%, to close at $13.15 on November 8, 2023.
