The majority of 2024 catastrophe losses resulted from tornadoes, hailstorms and convective storms in Texas and Oklahoma, winter storms and rainstorms in California, and the impact of Hurricane Helene in Florida and Georgia. Catastrophe losses net of reinsurance for the\u00a0nine months ended September\u00a030, 2025 was reduced by approximately $574 million\u00a0from subrogation recorded on the Palisades and Eaton wildfires.\u00a0<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n The Company experienced favorable development of approximately $27 million and unfavorable development of approximately $8 million on prior accident years’ loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for the three months ended September\u00a030, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and favorable development of approximately $74 million and unfavorable development of approximately $16 million on prior accident years’ loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for the nine months ended September\u00a030, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The year-to-date favorable development in 2025 was primarily attributable to lower than estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses in the automobile and homeowners lines of insurance business, including favorable development on the prior years’ catastrophe losses. The year-to-date unfavorable development in 2024 was primarily attributable to higher than estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses in the commercial automobile and commercial property lines of insurance business and catastrophe losses, partially offset by favorable development in the private passenger automobile and homeowners lines of insurance business.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

Average annual yield on investments before and after income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased compared to the corresponding period in 2024, primarily due to the sale of certain low-yielding investments with a total fair value of approximately $600 million in January 2025 to provide ample liquidity for claims resulting from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires, combined with the replacement of certain lower yielding investments with higher yielding long-term investments.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

In January 2025<\/span>, extreme wind-driven wildfires caused widespread damage across parts of Southern California<\/span>, primarily in the communities of Pacific Palisades<\/span> and Altadena<\/span>. The two largest of these Southern California<\/span> wildfires are known as the Palisades and Eaton wildfires. The Company recorded net catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) before taxes from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires of approximately $381 million<\/span> in its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September\u00a030, 2025. The following table presents the components of net losses from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires as of September\u00a030, 2025, June\u00a030, 2025 and March\u00a031, 2025:<\/p>\n

\n The Company is actively pursuing subrogation against Southern California Edison (“SCE”) on the Eaton fire. The Company recorded approximately $527 million in estimated subrogation recoveries, or approximately 55% of its estimated ultimate losses on the Eaton fire, as an offset against loss and loss adjustment expense reserves in its consolidated balance sheet at September\u00a030, 2025, and thereby reduced losses and loss adjustment expenses by the same amount in its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September\u00a030, 2025. Although SCE has not admitted that its equipment caused the Eaton fire, significant evidence indicates that SCE’s equipment was the cause of the Eaton fire. In addition, SCE has disclosed that it is probable that SCE will incur material losses from the Eaton fire and entered into a negotiated agreement without litigation with one insurance company to pay 52% of the losses incurred. For utility caused California wildfires occurring since 2017 through 2024 where SCE and other utility companies settled the subrogation claims without admitting fault, such companies have paid out average amounts equal to over 60% of the losses incurred with a range as low as 55% to over 70%. The Company believes that SCE has the wherewithal to settle the subrogation claims on the Eaton fire in a similar range of settlement amounts as on the recent past wildfires. SCE also has access to the California Wildfire Fund which provides additional funding to reimburse member utilities to pay wildfire claims. Based on the grounds described above as well as management’s estimates and assumptions derived from industry experience, including recent market interest in the acquisition of the Company’s subrogation rights on the Eaton fire, the Company believes $527 million is a reasonable estimate of probable recovery on the Eaton fire.\u00a0<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n In June 2025, the Company sold its subrogation rights on the Palisades fire to a third party for a guaranteed percentage of losses incurred plus a share in the amount recovered above a certain threshold (“Upside Recovery’). The recovery amount from the guaranteed percentage of losses is approximately $48 million, with $27 million received as of September\u00a030, 2025. The remaining balance of approximately $21 million at September\u00a030, 2025 will be settled each quarter based on the amount of claims payments the Company makes subsequent to the previous settlement date. The Company recorded the total sale price of approximately $48 million as an offset against losses and loss adjustment expenses in its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September\u00a030, 2025. The Company did not record an amount for the potential Upside Recovery.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n The Company’s catastrophe reinsurance program for the treaty year ended June\u00a030, 2025 provides approximately $1,290 million of limits on a per occurrence basis after covered catastrophe losses exceed the Company’s retention of $150 million. It also allows the Company to consider catastrophe events that occur within a 150-mile radius as a single occurrence or separate occurrences for reinsurance purposes. The Company treated the Palisades and Eaton wildfires as one event for reinsurance purposes exhausting the full $1,290 million of limits and paid reinstatement premiums of approximately $101 million. The $1,290 million of limits used for the Palisades and Eaton wildfires was reduced by $6.5 million for ineligible parametric coverage. The Company also utilized $10 million from a separate property excess of loss reinsurance treaty making the total reinsurance used for the Palisades and Eaton wildfires approximately $1,294 million.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n The Company is a member of the California FAIR Plan, the state’s fire insurer of last resort. To the extent the FAIR Plan has losses exceeding its capital and reinsurance coverage, the FAIR Plan can assess its member companies for the shortfall based on each company’s California market share. The FAIR Plan had significant losses from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires, and the Company’s share of the FAIR Plan losses from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires was approximately $99 million (an amount based on information provided to the Company directly from the FAIR Plan), which was recorded as part of the Company’s losses from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires in its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September\u00a030, 2025.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n The FAIR Plan assessed the Company $50 million to strengthen the FAIR Plan’s capital position following the Palisades and Eaton wildfires in the first quarter of 2025. The California DOI allows for recoupment of 50% or $25 million of the $50 million assessment via a temporary surcharge to the Company’s policyholders. The Company has received approval from the California DOI to begin recouping the $25 million, which partially offset the Company’s share of the FAIR Plan’s losses of $99 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $74 million for its share of the FAIR Plan’s losses from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires in its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September\u00a030, 2025.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n The Company recorded a net loss of approximately $22 million in its consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to an increase in estimated net losses and loss adjustment expenses on the Palisades and Eaton wildfires. The increase in estimated net losses and loss adjustment expenses is primarily due to updated estimates for partial losses.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 944-40-30-2 through 3 and Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 55 paragraph 15 require salvage and subrogation recoverables to be deducted from the liability for unpaid claims; therefore, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is shown net of estimated salvage and subrogation recoverables, and losses and loss adjustment expenses on its consolidated statements of operations is shown net of salvage and subrogation. The Company applies this accounting method for salvage and subrogation in a consistent manner for both GAAP and statutory reporting purposes.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

As of September\u00a030, 2025, the Company has paid out approximately $1,404 million<\/span> for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the Palisades and Eaton wildfires. The Company has received 100% of the reinsurance recoverable amounts billed to its reinsurers through September\u00a030, 2025.<\/p>\n

\n Information Regarding GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The Company has presented information within this document containing operating measures which in management’s opinion provide investors with useful, industry specific information to help them evaluate, and perform meaningful comparisons of, the Company’s performance, but that may not be presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not intended to replace, and should be read in conjunction with, the GAAP financial results.<\/p>\n

\n Net income (loss) <\/b>is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to operating income (loss). Operating income (loss)<\/b> is net income (loss) excluding realized investment gains and losses, net of tax. Operating income (loss) is used by management along with the other components of net income (loss) to assess the Company’s performance. Management uses operating income (loss) as an important measure to evaluate the results of the Company’s insurance business. Management believes that operating income (loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company’s ongoing performance as it reveals trends in the Company’s insurance business that may be obscured by the effect of net realized investment gains and losses. Realized investment gains and losses may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by external economic developments such as capital market conditions. Accordingly, operating income (loss) highlights the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of the Company’s core insurance business. Operating income (loss), which is provided as supplemental information and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business. It should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial results. See “Supplemental Schedules” above for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to operating income (loss).<\/p>\n

\n Net premiums earned<\/b>, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to net premiums written, represents the portion of premiums written that is recognized as revenue in the financial statements for the periods presented and earned on a pro-rata basis over the term of the policies. Net premiums written<\/b> is a statutory financial measure which represents the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance.\u00a0 Net premiums written is designed to determine production levels and is meant as supplemental information and not intended to replace net premiums earned. Such information should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial results. See “Supplemental Schedules” above for a reconciliation of net premiums earned to net premiums written.<\/p>\n

\n Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses<\/b>\u00a0is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to\u00a0paid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Paid losses and loss adjustment expenses<\/b> excludes the effects of changes in the loss reserve accounts. Paid losses and loss adjustment expenses is provided as supplemental information and is not intended to replace incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses. It should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial results. See “Supplemental Schedules” above for a reconciliation of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to paid losses and loss adjustment expenses.<\/p>\n

\n Combined ratio<\/b>\u00a0is the most directly comparable measure to combined ratio-accident period basis. Combined ratio-accident period basis <\/b>is computed as the difference between two GAAP operating ratios: the combined ratio and prior accident periods’ loss development ratio. Management believes that combined ratio-accident period basis is useful to investors and it is used to reveal the trends in the Company’s results of operations that may be obscured by development on prior accident periods’ loss reserves. Combined ratio-accident period basis is meant as supplemental information and is not intended to replace the GAAP combined ratio. It should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial results. See “Supplemental Schedules” above for a reconciliation of GAAP combined ratio to combined ratio-accident period basis.<\/p>\n
