Admiral, the FTSE 100 motor insurer, will report its first-half results on Thursday, when it will hope to convince its doubters that it can maintain the impressive profits it has posted over the past few years. Fears over the company’s future growth have intensified in recent months amid concern that an outright ban on insurers earning so-called referral fees from third parties will hit its profitability.

Pre-tax profits are expected to hit £167.7m, compared with £160.6m last year.

Admiral Group is one of the few FTSE 100 companies that is less than 50 years old. It is also one of a small number of listed companies that is headquartered in Wales. I've recently been looking at Admiral ahead of the IPO of its competitor, Direct Line.

Admiral operates a number of insurance brands such as elephant.co.uk, confused.com and, of course, Admiral. The sector has fallen out of favour in recent months -- many market commentators have expressed concerns over the long-term profitability of the car insurance industry. These concerns have pushed down share valuations.

I think the market may be too mean in its appraisal of Admiral. After all, this is a very successful company: Admiral has increased its shareholder dividend every year since 2005, while its sales in 2011 were more than double the number achieved in 2008.

In short, Admiral's management has a better record of operating in this industry than investment analysts have of forecasting its future.
