Investment Results
Net investment income was $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 128.2%. Net investment income was $44.9 million in the first half of 2023 compared to $19.7 million in the first half of 2022, an increase of 128.0%. These increases were driven by growth in the Company's investment portfolio generated largely from the investment of strong operating cash flows and higher interest rates relative to the prior year periods. Net operating cash flows were $423.6 million in the first half of 2023 compared to $278.7 million in the first half of 2022, an increase of 52.0%. The Company’s investment portfolio had an annualized gross investment return(8) of 3.8% for the first half of 2023 compared to 2.6% for the same period last year. Funds are generally invested conservatively in high quality securities with an average credit quality of "AA-" and the weighted average duration of the fixed-maturity investment portfolio, including cash equivalents, was 3.1 years and 3.5 years at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash and invested assets totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2023 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2022.
(8)
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 rates for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 18.9% and 17.4%, respectively. In the first half of 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rates were lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax benefits from stock-based compensation and tax-exempt investment income.
Stockholders' equity was $871.8 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $745.4 million at December 31, 2022. Book value per share was $37.64 at June 30, 2023 compared to $32.28 at December 31, 2022. Annualized operating return on equity(7) was 30.6% for the first half of 2023, an increase from 24.6% for the first half of 2022, which was primarily due to continued profitable growth from favorable E&S market conditions and rate increases.
In the periods ending June 30, 2023, the Company reclassified policy fees to fee income. Historically, these fees were presented as a reduction to underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses. The Company modified the definition of the loss and expense ratios to include fee income in the denominator of each ratio. The Company has reclassified prior periods' results to conform to the current period's presentation.
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 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net income reconciles to underwriting income as follows:
