NI Holdings, Inc. Announces New Reportable Segments and New Quarterly Financial Supplement

FARGO, N.D., Jan. 11, 2018 -- NI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:NODK) today announced new reportable segments to align with the company’s evolving financial reporting model as a new public company.

“We are refining our reportable segments to better reflect our primary operating businesses and our growth in private passenger auto coverages,” said Michael J. Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We believe that our investors will be very interested in this enhanced level of information.”

Starting in the fourth quarter 2017, NI Holdings will have five reportable segments aligned with the company’s key product offerings, including:

• Private Passenger Auto Insurance: providing protection against liability for bodily injury and property damage arising from automobile accidents and protection against loss from damage to automobiles owned by the insured.
• Non-Standard Auto Insurance: providing limited protection auto insurance for both bodily injury and property damage.
• Home and Farm Insurance: providing coverage to damage to buildings, equipment, and contents, as well as liability arising from injury to other persons or their property while on the insured’s premises.
• Crop Insurance: providing protection to crops against a variety of perils, including both weather and non-weather causes.
• All Other: including all other insurance provided by the Company, including commercial coverages and assumed reinsurance pools.

NI Holdings will report results in these five segments starting with fourth quarter 2017 results.  To enable investors to review the new reporting segment structure prior to the Company’s upcoming earnings release, a new financial supplement for the period ending September 30, 2017 has been published to reflect this information.  The document is now available in the Financial Results section of www.niholdingsinc.com.
