Segment Information |
SEGMENT INFORMATIONOur Personal Lines segment writes insurance for personal autos, special lines products (e.g., recreational vehicles, such as motorcycles, RVs, and watercraft), personal residential property insurance for homeowners and renters, umbrella insurance, and flood insurance through the “Write Your Own” program for the National Flood Insurance Program. Property information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was recast to conform to the current year presentation; see Note 10 – Segment Information in our 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders for further discussion. Our Commercial Lines segment writes auto-related liability and physical damage insurance, business-related general liability and commercial property insurance predominately for small businesses, and workers’ compensation insurance primarily for the transportation industry. Our service businesses provide insurance-related services, including serving as an agent for homeowners, general liability, and workers’ compensation insurance, among other products, through programs in our direct Personal Lines and Commercial Lines businesses. All segment revenues are generated from external customers and all intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

1 Includes other underwriting businesses and run-off operations. 2 Includes policy acquisition costs, agents’ contingent commissions, and advertising costs attributable to our operating segments. A portion of our companywide advertising costs are also attributed to our service businesses. 3 Primarily consists of employee compensation and benefit costs, and the increase in the allowance for credit loss exposure on our premiums receivable. 4 Calculated as recurring investment income plus total net realized gains (losses) on securities, less investment expenses. Our management uses underwriting margin and combined ratio as primary measures of underwriting profitability. The underwriting margin is the pretax underwriting profit (loss) expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned. Pretax underwriting profit (loss) is calculated as net premiums earned plus fees and other revenues, less: (i) losses and loss adjustment expenses; (ii) policy acquisition costs; and (iii) other underwriting expenses. Combined ratio is the complement of the underwriting margin. Fees and other revenues are netted against either loss adjustment expenses or underwriting expenses in the ratio calculations, based on the underlying activity that generated the revenue. Following are the underwriting margins and combined ratios for our underwriting operations for the respective periods: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 | | Under- writing Margin | Combined Ratio | | Under- writing Margin | Combined Ratio | | Under- writing Margin | Combined Ratio | | Under- writing Margin | Combined Ratio | Personal Lines | 14.0 | % | 86.0 | | | 7.4 | % | 92.6 | | | 14.1 | % | 85.9 | | | 11.1 | % | 88.9 | | Commercial Lines | 13.2 | | 86.8 | | | 11.4 | | 88.6 | | | 12.9 | | 87.1 | | | 9.8 | | 90.2 | | Total underwriting operations | 13.8 | | 86.2 | | | 8.1 | | 91.9 | | | 13.9 | | 86.1 | | | 10.9 | | 89.1 | |
