CHICAGO, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --ÌýÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Financial Corporation (NYSE: ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½) today announced second quarter 2022 net income of $205 million, or $0.75 per share, versus $368 million, or $1.35 per share, in the prior year quarter.Ìý Core income for the quarter was $245 million, or $0.90 per share, versus $341 million, or $1.25 per share, in the prior year quarter.Ìý Net investment losses for the quarter were $40 million, which were primarily driven by mark to market losses on non-redeemable preferred stock, compared to net investment gains of $27 million in the prior year quarter.
Our Property & Casualty segments produced core income of $317 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $34 million compared to the prior year quarter driven by lower investment income from LPs and common stock, partially offset by much improved underwriting results which increased $72 million and higher income from fixed income securities.Ìý Property & Casualty segments, excluding third party captives, generated gross written premium growth of 17% and net written premium growth of 20% (13% adjusting for the impact of a one-time ceded premium catch-up related to the addition of a property quota share reinsurance treaty in the prior period), driven by strong retention of 85% and new business growth of 27%.Ìý
Our Life & Group and Corporate & Other segments produced core income (loss) for the second quarter of 2022 of $6 million and $(78) million, respectively.Ìý Corporate & Other includes a $51Ìýmillion after-tax charge related to unfavorable prior period development largely associated with legacy mass tort abuse claims, including the recent Diocese of Rochester proposed settlement.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Financial declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share, payable SeptemberÌý1, 2022 to stockholders of record on AugustÌý15, 2022.

"Core income of $245 million was down 28% this quarter due to a $171 million decline from LPs and common stock.Ìý Income from fixed income investments was up $16 million this quarter to $451 million and P&C underwriting gain was up 64%, reflecting higher underlying underwriting income, lower cats, and favorable prior period development.Ìý The underlying combined ratio of 90.8% is our lowest on record.Ìý And I am very pleased with our top-line P&C gross written premium growth ex captives of 17% in the quarter.Ìý This was driven by our strongest retention in nearly five years and very strong new business growth.Ìý Written rate change moderated only slightly this quarter to 6%, and Commercial rates have remained relatively stable at about 5%, moderating only one point from the third quarter of 2021, while earned rate of 8% remains above loss cost trends.Ìý We had fantastic P&C performance across the board in the second quarter, and we remain optimistic about the market conditions and our growth opportunities for the remainder of the year," said Dino E. Robusto, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Financial Corporation.

Definition of Reported Segments
Financial Measures
Management utilizes the following metrics in their evaluation of the Property & Casualty Operations.Ìý These ratios are calculated using financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).Ìý
Gross written premiums ex. 3rd party captivesÌýrepresents gross written premiums excluding business which is ceded to third party captives, including business related to large warranty programs.
Statutory capital and surplusÌýrepresents the excess of an insurance company's admitted assets over its liabilities, including loss reserves, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices.Ìý Statutory capital and surplus as of the current period is preliminary.
The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s investment portfolio is monitored by management through analysis of various factors including unrealized gains and losses on securities, portfolio duration and exposure to market and credit risk.
To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities supporting the reserves of certain products within the Life & Group segment would result in a premium deficiency, or would impact the reserve balance if realized, a related increase in Insurance reserves is recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of net unrealized gains (losses) through Other comprehensive income (loss) (Shadow Adjustments).
Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures
This press release also contains financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP.Ìý Management utilizes these financial measures to monitor the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s insurance operations and investment portfolio.Ìý The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ believes the presentation of these measures provides investors with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s operating performance.Ìý Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures follow below.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Core Income (Loss)
Core income (loss)Ìýis calculated by excluding from net income (loss) the after-tax effects of net investment gains or losses and any cumulative effects of changes in accounting guidance.Ìý The calculation of core income (loss) excludes net investment gains or losses because net investment gains or losses are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of our primary operations.Ìý Management monitors core income (loss) for each business segment to assess segment performance.Ìý Presentation of consolidated core income (loss) is deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share to Core Income (Loss) per Diluted Share
Core income (loss) per diluted share provides management and investors with a valuable measure of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s operating performance for the same reasons applicable to its underlying measure, core income (loss).Ìý Core income (loss) per diluted share is core income (loss) on a per diluted share basis.

Reconciliation of Book Value per Share to Book Value per Share Excluding AOCI
Book value per share excluding AOCI allows management and investors to analyze the amount of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s net worth primarily attributable to the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s business operations.Ìý The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ believes this measurement is useful as it reduces the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates.
