FORTEGRA FINANCIAL ANNOUNCES A 55.3% INCREASE IN THIRD QUARTER INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS BEFORE NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

Jacksonville, FL - November 10, 2014 - Fortegra Financial Corporation (NYSE: FRF), an insurance services company offering a wide array of revenue enhancing products, including payment protection products, motor club memberships, service contracts, device and warranty services, and administration services, to our business partners, including insurance companies, retailers, dealers, insurance brokers and agents and financial services companies, reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

The following highlights compare our third quarter ended September 30, 2014 results to our third quarter ended September 30, 2013:
 
Direct and assumed written premiums increased 29.8% to a record $151.2 million.

Net revenues* increased 7.6% to $28.6 million.

Income from continuing operations before non-controlling interests increased 55.3% to $3.9 million.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations* increased 13.8% to $9.6 million.

* - A Non-GAAP financial measure.

"We are pleased to report another quarter of strong results. Similar to last quarter, our performance was driven by organic revenue increases in our payment protection products and lower claims costs," said Richard S. Kahlbaugh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fortegra Financial. "Our third quarter performance compares favorably to the third quarter of 2013, despite recording in the current period $0.9 million of seller's costs associated with the planned merger with Tiptree, and having recorded higher net realized gains on the sale of investments of $0.8 million in the prior period. Our direct and assumed written premiums were up 29.8% over the prior year to a record $151.2 million. Our management of claims costs and operating expenses is reflected in our Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement and was accomplished without compromising the level and quality of our services and products that we offer to our customers. The quarter reflects our continued focus on organically growing the business and delivering continued future growth. Finally, we continue working toward the completion of our merger with Tiptree, which is subject to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary conditions."

Third Quarter 2014 Results
Total revenues from continuing operations decreased $2.6 million, or 2.9%, to $87.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to $90.3 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease represents a revenue decrease of $5.8 million, partially offset by $3.2 million as a result of the accounting treatment required under purchase accounting for the ProtectCELL acquisition. The revenue decrease was primarily due to a $5.0 million decrease in ProtectCELL and a $3.0 million decrease in motor club revenues reflecting competitive pressures, and a $1.0 million decrease in client administrative revenues. Also contributing to the decrease was $0.8 million of net realized gains on the sale of investments in 2013 that did not reoccur in 2014. These decreases were partially

Page 1



offset by organic revenue growth of $1.8 million from our payment protection products, $1.2 million from our auto insurance products and $1.0 million combined from our other product groups.

Net revenues, a Non-GAAP financial measure, increased $2.0 million, or 7.6%, to $28.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $26.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase reflects strong management of ProtectCELL member benefit claims costs, and volume growth in payment protection products reflected mainly in ceding commissions and net earned premium. Excluding the impact of net realized gains on the sale of investments, net revenues increased $2.8 million, or 10.7%.

Operating expenses, a Non-GAAP financial measure, increased $1.5 million, or 8.1%, to $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $18.7 million for the same period in 2013. The 2014 period included an increase in personnel costs as a result of adding staff throughout 2013 to support business objectives. Other operating expenses increased $0.8 million, or 8.5%, to $10.0 million for the 2014 period, compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2013, and included $0.9 million in transaction costs associated with the proposed Tiptree merger.

Income from continuing operations before non-controlling interests for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased $1.4 million, or 55.3%, to $3.9 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2013.

Net income attributable to Fortegra Financial Corporation increased $0.4 million, or 11.4%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Earnings per diluted share attributable to Fortegra Financial Corporation increased 12.5% to $0.18 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $0.16 for the same period in 2013, with the 2013 amount including $0.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the results of discontinued operations.

Balance Sheet
Total investments and cash and cash equivalents increased to $168.0 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $160.5 million at December 31, 2013. Current income taxes represented a receivable of $8.7 million at September 30, 2014, compared to income taxes payable of $2.8 million at December 31, 2013, substantially offset by an increase in deferred tax liabilities. Accounts and premiums receivable, net increased to $31.4 million at September 30, 2014 from $18.7 million at December 31, 2013 due to growth in premium volumes and growth in sales of ProtectCELL's monthly billed product. Reinsurance receivables increased to $241.2 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $215.1 million at December 31, 2013, driven by growth in premium volumes and changes in ceding percentages of certain reinsurance treaties. Unearned premiums increased to $282.3 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $256.4 million at December 31, 2013, reflecting growth in premium volumes. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2014 increased to $45.2 million compared to $38.3 million at December 31, 2013. Accrued expenses and accounts payable decreased to $51.2 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $53.0 million at December 31, 2013, and liabilities of discontinued operations decreased to $0.9 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2013. Stockholders' equity increased to $179.4 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $166.5 million at December 31, 2013.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
We may present certain financial measures related to our business that are "Non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We present these Non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional information to analyze our performance from period to period.  Management also uses these measures to assess performance and to allocate resources in managing our businesses.  However, investors should not consider these Non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for the financial information that we report in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  These Non-GAAP financial measures reflect subjective determinations by management, and may differ from similarly titled Non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

In this Earnings Release, we may present Net income from continuing operations - Non-GAAP Basis, Non-GAAP Earnings per share from continuing operations - basic and diluted, Net revenues, Operating expenses, EBITDA from continuing operations, EBITDA from continuing operations margin, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin. These financial measures are Non-GAAP financial measures and are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be used as an indicator of, and are not an alternative to, net income or earnings per share as a measure of operating performance. Net income from continuing operations - Non-GAAP Basis generally means net income adjusted (on a tax-effected basis) by transaction costs associated with acquisitions, stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses, and unusual or non-recurring charges and items that affect comparability of results. Non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations - basic and diluted adjust for the impact of the Non-GAAP adjustments to net income, net of tax, on a per share basis. Net revenues are total revenues less net losses and loss adjustment expenses, member benefit claims, and commission expenses. Operating expenses are the sum of personnel costs and other operating expenses. EBITDA from continuing operations is net income before interest expense, income taxes, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA from continuing operations margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA from continuing operations by Net Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations means "Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA", which is defined under our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and which generally means consolidated net income before net income attributable to non-controlling interests, consolidated interest expense, consolidated amortization expense, consolidated depreciation expense and consolidated income tax expense, relating to continuing operations. The other items excluded in this calculation may include if applicable, but are not limited to, specified acquisition costs, impairment of goodwill and other non-cash charges, stock-based compensation expense, and unusual or non-recurring charges and items that affect comparability of results. The calculations presented in the tables "RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)" do not give effect to certain additional adjustments permitted under our credit facility, which if included, would increase the amount of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations

Page 3



reflected in this table. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by Net Revenues. We believe presenting Net Income from continuing operations - Non-GAAP Basis, Non-GAAP Earnings per share from continuing operations - basic and diluted, Net revenues, Operating expenses, EBITDA from continuing operations, EBITDA from continuing operations margin, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations marginprovides investors with supplemental financial measures of our operating performance.
In addition to the financial covenant requirements under our credit facility, management uses Net income from continuing operations - Non-GAAP Basis, Non-GAAP Earnings per share from continuing operations - basic and diluted, Net revenues, Operating expenses, EBITDA from continuing operations, EBITDA from continuing operations margin, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin as financial measures of operating performance for planning purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, the preparation of budgets and projections, the determination of bonus compensation for executive officers, the analysis of the allocation of resources and the evaluation of the effectiveness of business strategies. We measure Net revenues as another means of understanding product contributions to our results. We measure Operating expenses to reconcile from Net revenues to EBITDA. Although we use EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as financial measures to assess the operating performance of our business, both measures have significant limitations as analytical tools because they exclude certain material expenses. For example, they do not include interest expense and the payment of income taxes, which are both necessary elements of our costs and operations. Since we use property and equipment to generate revenues, depreciation expense is a necessary element of our costs. In addition, the omission of amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of this financial measure. Management believes the inclusion of the adjustments to EBITDA from continuing operations to derive Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Because EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations do not account for these expenses, their utility as financial measures of our operating performance has material limitations. Due to these limitations, management does not view EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in isolation or as primary financial performance measures.
We believe Net income from continuing operations - Non-GAAP Basis, Non-GAAP Earnings per share from continuing operations - basic and diluted, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of similar companies in similar industries and to measure the company's ability to service its debt and other cash needs. Because the definitions of Net income from continuing operations - Non-GAAP Basis, Non-GAAP Earnings per share from continuing operations - basic and diluted, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (or similar financial measures) may vary among companies and industries, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled financial measures used by other companies.

We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under Item 1A. - "Risk Factors" in Fortegra's most current Annual Report on Form 10-K and most current Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and any amendments to those reports. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether the result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
