Montgomery, Alabama (July 13, 2007) -- Alfa
Corp. today announced that it expects operating income for
the quarter ended June 30, 2007, to be in a range of $0.40
to $0.44 per diluted share. The results are primarily due
to improved underwriting results at the property and casualty
and life subsidiaries, and were not influenced by non-recurring
or extraordinary items. This estimated range compares with
operating income of $0.30 per diluted share reported for the
second quarter of 2006.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, operating income
is estimated to be in a range of $0.57 to $0.61 per diluted
share. This compares with $0.55 per diluted share reported
for the first six months of 2006.
Alfa Corp. intends to report final results for the second
quarter and first half of 2007 on Friday, July 27, with an
investor conference call that day at 10:30 a.m. ET.
