Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves are estimated based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Actual loss experience and loss trends may differ from these historical experience patterns and economic conditions. Loss experience and loss trends emerge over several years from the dates of loss inception. The Company monitors such emerging loss trends on a quarterly basis. Changes in such estimates are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income in the period of change. Additionally, the Company reviews if any premium revisions are appropriate as a result of any incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) related to prior years recorded in the current period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, no premium revisions were deemed necessary solely as a result of any incurred losses or LAE related to prior years recorded in the current year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the net adverse prior year development of $15.9 million included $23.9 million of adverse development on prior accident years attributable to evolving loss patterns and higher defense costs associated with attorney-represented bodily injury coverages in the Commercial Automobile product line, partially offset by favorable development on other coverages and lower losses stemming from litigated matters.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the net adverse prior year development of $14.4 million included $24.0 million of adverse development on prior accident years attributable to evolving loss patterns and higher defense costs associated with attorney-represented bodily injury coverages and higher than expected development on litigated matters related to prior year claims in the Commercial Automobile product line. This adverse development was partially offset by $10.1 million of favorable reserve development on prior accident years primarily related to improved loss patterns on policies with personal injury protection coverage and partially offset by adverse development on litigated matters in the Specialty Personal Automobile product line.

The Company cannot predict whether loss and LAE reserves will develop favorably or unfavorably from the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Any such development could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.
Note 6 - Liability for Future Policyholder Benefits
The Company’s Life Insurance Reserves are reported using the Company’s estimate of its liability for future policyholder benefits. The liability for future policyholder benefits is grouped by contract type and issue year into cohorts consistent with the grouping used in estimating the associated liability. Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the liability for future policyholder benefits include mortality, lapses, and discount rates (both accretion and current). The liability is adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience.
The following tables summarize balances and changes in the present value of expected net premiums, present value of expected future policyholder benefits and net liability for future policyholder benefits as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
