We are confident that with the strength of our business model and financial position we will deliver another successful year in 2023," said President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael P. Kehoe.
Results of Operations
Underwriting Results
Gross written premiums were $295.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $203.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 45.0%. Gross written premiums were $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $764.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of 44.2%. Growth in gross written premiums during the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 over the same periods last year reflected strong submission flow from brokers and a favorable pricing environment.
Underwriting income (2) was $59.5 million, resulting in a combined ratio of 72.4%, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $42.2 million, and a combined ratio of 74.5% for the same period last year. The increase in underwriting income (2) for the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to a combination of premium growth and favorable rate increases from a strong underwriting environment and lower levels of operating expenses relative to premium growth and management's cost control efforts. Loss and expense ratios were 52.5% and 19.9%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 53.1% and 21.4% for the fourth quarter of 2021. Favorable development of reserves from prior accident years was $7.0 million, or 3.3 points, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $6.6 million, or 4.0 points, for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Underwriting income (2) was $175.5 million, resulting in a combined ratio of 77.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $133.6 million, and a combined ratio of 77.1% for the prior year. The increase in underwriting income (2) for the year ended December 31, 2022 was due to a combination of premium growth and favorable rate increases from a strong underwriting environment and lower levels of operating expenses relative to premium growth and management's cost control efforts. These increases were offset in part by higher catastrophe losses incurred during 2022. Loss and expense ratios were 57.7% and 20.2%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 55.7% and 21.4%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The loss ratios included current accident year catastrophe losses of $26.6 million, or 3.4 points, for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $8.6 million, or 1.5 points, for the year ended December 31, 2021. Catastrophe activity in 2022 primarily related to Hurricane Ian and in 2021 largely related to Hurricane Ida and winter storms in Texas. Favorable development of reserves from prior accident years was $35.9 million, or 4.5 points, for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $32.0 million, or 5.5 points, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Investment Results
Net investment income was $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 106.7%. Net investment income was $51.3 million for the full year of 2022 compared to $31.0 million for the full year of 2021. These increases were driven by growth in the Company's investment portfolio generated mostly from the investment of strong operating cash flows since December 31, 2021 and higher interest rates relative to the prior year periods. Net operating cash flows were $557.8 million for the full year of 2022 compared to $407.0 million for the full year of 2021, an increase of 37.0%. The Company’s investment portfolio, excluding cash and cash equivalents, had a gross investment return (5) of 3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Funds are generally invested conservatively in high quality securities, including government agency, asset- and mortgage-backed securities, and municipal and corporate bonds with an average credit quality of "AA-." The weighted average duration of the fixed-maturity investment portfolio, including cash equivalents, was 3.5 years and 4.3 years at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash and invested assets totaled $2.2 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021.
| (5) |
| Gross investment return is investment income from fixed-maturity and equity securities (and short-term investments, if any), before any deductions for fees and expenses, expressed as a percentage of average beginning and ending book values of those investments during the period. |
Other
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 18.6%. The effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the tax benefits from stock-based compensation and tax-exempt investment income.
In November 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering and sold and issued 155,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $308.30 per share, to the underwriter. The Company received net proceeds from the offering of $47.5 million, which were used for general corporate purposes, including to fund organic growth.
In December 2022, the Company acquired real estate property adjacent to its current headquarters for $76.6 million. The property is comprised of two office buildings totaling over 580,000 square feet situated on approximately 29 acres of land. The property is expected to provide flexibility for future expansion of operations as well as serve as an investment opportunity. The acquisition was funded primarily through a draw down on the Company's revolving credit facility.
Stockholders' equity was $745.4 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $699.3 million at December 31, 2021. Operating return on equity was 25.0% for the full year of 2022, an increase from 20.8% for the full year of 2021. This increase was due primarily to growth in the business from favorable market conditions and rate increases and a decrease in average stockholders' equity driven by the decline in the fair value of investments as a result of the higher interest rate environment. These increases were offset in part by higher catastrophe losses incurred during 2022.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net Operating Earnings
Net operating earnings is defined as net income excluding the effects of the change in the fair value of equity securities, after taxes, net realized investment gains and losses, after taxes, and the change in allowance for credit losses on investments, after taxes. Management believes the exclusion of these items provides a useful comparison of the Company's underlying business performance from period to period. Net operating earnings and percentages or calculations using net operating earnings (e.g., diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on equity) are non-GAAP financial measures. Net operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define net operating earnings differently.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, net income and diluted earnings per share reconcile to net operating earnings and diluted operating earnings per share as follows:

Underwriting Income
Underwriting income is defined as net income excluding net investment income, the change in the fair value of equity securities, net realized investment gains and losses, the change in allowance for credit losses on investments, interest expense, other expenses, other income and income tax expense. The Company uses underwriting income as an internal performance measure in the management of its operations because the Company believes it gives management and users of the Company's financial information useful insight into the Company's results of operations and underlying business performance. Underwriting income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define underwriting income differently.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, net income reconciles to underwriting income as follows:
