NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1.
Basis of Presentation
The words "Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries, except as expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise. We have prepared our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) in conformity with (i) United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and (ii) the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. These require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial statement balances, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Our Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that, in our opinion, are normal, recurring, and necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial condition. Our Financial Statements cover the first quarters ended March 31, 2022 (“First Quarter 2022”) and March 31, 2021 (“First Quarter 2021”). Our Financial Statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP and the SEC for audited annual financial statements. Because results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year, our Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC.
NOTE 2.
Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
There was no adoption of accounting pronouncements in First Quarter 2022.
Pronouncements to be effective in the future
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) -
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
(“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Companies can elect to adopt ASU 2020-04 as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 2020, or any date thereafter through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial condition and results of operations.

During First Quarter 2022 and First Quarter 2021, we did not have any write-offs or recoveries of our AFS fixed income securities, so these items are not included in the tables above.
For information on our methodology and significant inputs used to measure expected credit losses, our accounting policy for recognizing write-offs of uncollectible amounts, and our treatment of accrued interest, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2021 Annual Report. Accrued interest on AFS securities was $
46.8
million as of March 31, 2022, and $
46.3
million as of December 31, 2021. We did not record any material write-offs of accrued interest during 2022 and 2021.

We do not currently intend to sell any of the securities in the tables above, nor will we be required to sell any of these securities. The increase in gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 was driven by an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates and a widening of credit spreads. Considering these factors and our review of these securities under our credit loss policy as described in Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2021 Annual Report, we have concluded that no allowance for credit loss is required on these balances. This conclusion reflects our current judgment about the financial position and future prospects of the entity that issued the investment security and underlying collateral.

In addition to the amounts in this table, previously recognized tax credits are subject to the risk of recapture. We do not consider the risk of recapture to be significant and therefore do not include in this table.
We are contractually committed to make additional investments up to the remaining commitments stated above. We did not provide any non-contractual financial support at any time during 2022 or 2021.
The following table shows gross summarized financial information for our other investments portfolio, including the portion we do not own. As the majority of these investments are carried under the equity method of accounting and report results to us on a one-quarter lag, the summarized financial statement information is for the three-month period ended, December 31:

Other is comprised of broker quotes or other third-party pricing for which there is a lack of transparency as to the inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative details of these unobservable inputs is neither provided to us, nor reasonably available to us, and therefore are not included in the tables above.
For the securities in the tables above valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, we apply an illiquidity spread in our determination of fair value. An increase in this assumption would result in a lower fair value measurement.

Allowance for credit losses, end of period
$

$
21,000
In First Quarter 2022, we recognized an additional allowance for credit losses of $
0.7
million, net of write-offs and recoveries. Included in this was a reserve of $
2.3
million on 2022 policies based on our historical write-off percentages and assumptions, partially offset by a $
1.1
million allowance reduction on older policies, primarily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, for which the credit loss did not fully materialize.
The heightened credit risk experienced in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 resulted in the allowance for credit losses being increased to $
21.0
million, where it remained as of March 31, 2021. During First Quarter 2021, we recognized expected credit losses, net of recoveries, of $
2.1
million on 2021 policies based on our historical write-off percentages and assumptions, partially offset by a $
1.2
million allowance reduction on older policies.
For a discussion of the methodology used to evaluate our estimate of expected credit losses, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2021 Annual Report.
NOTE 7.
Reinsurance
We evaluate and monitor the financial condition of our reinsurers under voluntary reinsurance arrangements to minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.

Segment Information
We evaluate the results of our
four
reportable segments as follows:
•
Our Standard Commercial Lines, Standard Personal Lines, and E&S Lines are evaluated based on before and after-tax underwriting results (net premiums earned, incurred loss and loss expense, policyholder dividends, policy acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses), return on equity ("ROE") contribution, and combined ratios.
•
Our Investments segment is primarily evaluated on after-tax net investment income and its ROE contribution. After-tax net realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are not included in non-GAAP operating income, are also included in our Investments segment results.
In computing each segment's results, we do not make adjustments for interest expense or corporate expenses. No segment has a separate investment portfolio or allocated assets.

Retirement Plans
The primary pension plan for our employees is the Retirement Income Plan for Selective Insurance Company of America (the “Pension Plan”). Selective Insurance Company of America (“SICA”) also sponsors the Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan (the “Excess Plan”) and a life insurance benefit plan. All plans are closed to new entrants, and benefits ceased accruing under the Pension Plan and the Excess Plan after March 31, 2016. For more information about SICA's retirement plans, see Note 15. “Retirement Plans” in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” of our 2021 Annual Report.

Litigation
As of March 31, 2022, we do not believe we are involved in any legal action that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of conducting business, we are parties in various legal actions. Most are claims litigation involving our Insurance Subsidiaries as (i) liability insurers defending or providing indemnity for third-party claims brought against our customers, (ii) insurers defending first-party coverage claims brought against them, or (iii) liability insurers seeking declaratory judgment on our insurance coverage obligations. We account for such activity by establishing unpaid loss and loss expense reserves. Considering potential losses and defense costs reserves, we expect that any potential ultimate liability for ordinary course claims litigation will not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
All our commercial property and businessowners' policies require direct physical loss of or damage to property by a covered cause of loss. All our standard lines commercial property and businessowners' policies also include or attach an exclusion that states that all loss or property damage caused by or resulting from any virus, bacterium, or other microorganism that induces or is capable of inducing physical distress, illness, or disease is not a covered cause of loss ("Virus Exclusion"). Whether COVID-19-related contamination, the existence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting COVID-19-related government shutdown orders cause physical loss of or damage to property is the subject of much public debate and first-party coverage litigation against some insurers, including us. The Virus Exclusion also is the subject of first-party coverage litigation against some insurers, including us. We cannot predict the outcome of litigation over these two coverage issues, including the interpretation of provisions similar or identical to those in our insurance policies.
From time to time, our Insurance Subsidiaries also are named as defendants in other legal actions, some asserting claims for substantial amounts. Plaintiffs may style these actions putatively as class actions and seek judicial certification of a state or national class for allegations involving our business practices, such as improper medical provider reimbursement under workers compensation and personal and commercial automobile insurance policies or improper reimbursement for automobile parts. Similarly, our Insurance Subsidiaries can be defendants in individual actions seeking extra-contractual damages, punitive damages, or penalties, often alleging bad faith claims handling. We believe that we have valid defenses to these allegations, and we account for such activity by establishing unpaid loss and loss expense reserves. Considering estimated losses and defense costs reserves, we expect that any potential ultimate liability for these other legal actions will not be material to our consolidated financial condition. As litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable and the amounts sought in certain of these
20
Table of Contents
actions are large or indeterminate, it is possible that adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

35
million from the FHLBNY at an interest rate of
0.70
%. This borrowing was refinanced upon its maturity on May 2, 2022, at an interest rate of
1.10
%. This borrowing matures on June 27, 2022. These funds were used for general corporate purposes.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward-Looking Statements
The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Parent"), and its subsidiaries, except as expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires. Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”). The PSLRA provides a safe harbor under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our intentions, beliefs, projections, estimations, or forecasts of future events and financial performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or industry actual results, activity levels, or performance to materially differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “target,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pro forma,” “seek,” “likely,” “continue,” or comparable terms. Our forward-looking statements are only predictions, and we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove correct. We undertake no obligation, other than as federal securities laws may require, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what we project, forecast, or estimate in forward-looking statements are discussed in further detail in Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” in Part II. “Other Information” of this Form 10-Q. These risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a constantly changing business environment, and new risk factors may emerge at any time. We can neither predict these new risk factors nor assess their impact, if any, on our businesses or the extent any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements. Given these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events we discuss in this report might not occur.
Introduction
We classify our business into four reportable segments:
•
Standard Commercial Lines;
•
Standard Personal Lines;
•
Excess and Surplus Lines ("E&S Lines"); and
•
Investments.
For more details about these segments, refer to Note 9. "Segment Information" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and Note 12. "Segment Information" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Annual Report").
We write our Standard Commercial and Standard Personal Lines products and services through nine of our insurance subsidiaries, some of which participate in the federal government's National Flood Insurance Program's ("NFIP") Write Your Own Program. We write our E&S products through another subsidiary, Mesa Underwriters Specialty Insurance Company, a nationally-authorized non-admitted platform for customers who generally cannot obtain coverage in the standard marketplace. Collectively, we refer to our ten insurance subsidiaries as the "Insurance Subsidiaries."
The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition, as well as known trends and uncertainties, that may have a material impact in future periods. Investors should read the MD&A in conjunction with Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Annual Report filed with the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the MD&A, we will discuss and analyze the following:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include amounts for which we have made informed estimates and judgments for transactions not yet completed. Such estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. As outlined in our 2021 Annual Report, those estimates and judgments most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements involved the following: (i) reserves for loss and loss expense; (ii) investment valuation and the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") fixed income securities; and (iii) reinsurance. These estimates and judgments require the use of assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and therefore are subject to change as facts and circumstances develop. If different estimates and judgments had been applied, materially different amounts might have been reported in the financial statements. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to pages 35 through 43 of our 2021 Annual Report.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income per diluted common share, and non-GAAP operating ROE are measures comparable to net income available to common stockholders, net income available to common stockholders per diluted common share, and ROE, respectively, but exclude after- tax net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments included in net income. Adjusted book value per common share is a measure comparable to book value per common share, but excludes total after-tax unrealized gains and losses on investments included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. They are used as important financial measures by us, analysts, and investors because the timing of realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on securities in any given period is largely discretionary. In addition, net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on investments could distort the analysis of trends.

Our First Quarter 2022 annualized non-GAAP operating ROE of 12.8% was above our full-year 2022 targeted non-GAAP operating ROE of 11%, but below our First Quarter 2021 annualized non-GAAP operating ROE of 16.2%. The decrease compared to First Quarter 2021 was primarily driven by a $17.3 million, or 3.1-point, reduction in after-tax underwriting income, resulting from (i) an increase in non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses in First Quarter 2022, and (ii) lower favorable prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2022; partially offset by a decrease in net catastrophe losses in First Quarter 2022.
23
Table of Contents
Our First Quarter 2022 results included $245 million of after-tax net unrealized investment losses recorded in stockholders' equity. These investment losses reduced our March 31, 2022 stockholders' equity position, which resulted in an approximate 50 basis point benefit to our First Quarter 2022 annualized ROE and non-GAAP operating ROE.
In addition to the above drivers of the year-over-year change in our annualized non-GAAP operating ROE, the 8.7-point reduction in the annualized ROE was due to a decrease of 5.3 points in net realized and unrealized investment gains in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by (i) active trading of our fixed income securities to opportunistically increase yield in the rising interest rate environment, and (ii) higher credit loss expense on our AFS fixed income securities portfolio.
Outlook
We entered 2022 in the strongest financial position in our 95-year history, with a record level of GAAP equity, statutory capital and surplus, and holding company cash and investments. We were well positioned to continue executing on our strategic objectives and delivering growth and profitability. Although First Quarter 2022 financial results were not as favorable as First Quarter 2021, our overall First Quarter 2022 financial results were strong with 11% growth in NPW and a 12.8% annualized non-GAAP operating ROE, which was above our full-year target of 11%.
While we recorded strong financial results in First Quarter 2022, this quarter included elevated economic inflation, which resulted in a significant increase in interest rates, a widening of credit spreads, lower public equity valuations, and significant financial market volatility. The higher interest rates and widening of credit spreads reduced the value of our fixed income securities, which lowered our stockholders' equity by 8% during First Quarter 2022. The higher economic inflation impacted our non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses with increased severities in our property lines, particularly commercial and personal automobile physical damage results. Should these trends continue in the near-term, it could negatively impact our profitability. We will continue to focus on achieving written renewal pure price increases, along with underwriting improvements, that meet or exceed expected loss trend. We achieved Standard Commercial Lines renewal pure price increases of 4.8% in First Quarter 2022. Renewal pure price increased throughout the quarter, with both February and March rate at 5.1%. This trend continued into April 2022 with renewal pure rate increases of 5.2%.
In addition, the higher interest rates and the widening of credit spreads provide an opportunity to invest our cash flows in new fixed income securities with higher yields, which over time will likely increase the overall book yield on our fixed income securities investment portfolio.
We continue to focus on several other foundational areas to position us for ongoing success:
•
Delivering on our strategy for continued disciplined and profitable growth by:
◦
Continuing to expand our Standard Commercial Lines market share by (i) increasing our share towards our 12% target of our agents' premiums, (ii) strategically appointing new agents, and (iii) maximizing new business growth in the small business market through utilization of our enhanced small business platform;
◦
Expanding our geographic footprint, with a plan to commence writing Standard Commercial Lines business in the states of Vermont, Alabama, and Idaho in the near-term, and other states over time;
◦
Increasing customer retention by delivering a superior omnichannel experience and offering value-added technologies and services;
◦
Shifting our focus towards targeting new and renewal customers in the mass affluent market within our Standard Personal Lines segment, where we believe we can be more competitive with the strong coverage and servicing capabilities that we offer; and
◦
Deploying our new underwriting platform in our E&S segment that will improve agents' ease of interactions with us.
•
Continuing to build on a culture centered on the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion that fosters innovation, idea generation, and developing a group of specially trained leaders who can guide us successfully into the future.
Our full-year expectations are as follows:
•
A GAAP combined ratio, excluding net catastrophe losses, of 91.0%. Our combined ratio estimate assumes no additional prior-year casualty reserve development;
•
Net catastrophe losses of 4.0 points on the combined ratio;
•
After-tax net investment income of $205 million (prior guidance $200 million) that includes $15 million (prior guidance $20 million) in after-tax net investment income from our alternative investments;
24
Table of Contents
•
An overall effective tax rate of approximately 20.5% that assumes an effective tax rate of 19.5% for net investment income and 21.0% for all other items; and
•
Weighted average shares of 61 million on a fully diluted basis.

In addition, our NPW growth in First Quarter 2022 benefited from strong retention and exposure growth driven by increased economic activity in the U.S., which resulted in our customers increasing their sales, payrolls, and exposure units, all of which favorably impacted our NPW.
The increase in NPE in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021 resulted from the same impacts to the NPW increase described above.

First Quarter 2022 experienced elevated non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses, due primarily to higher severities from recent inflationary and supply chain impacts that have caused increases to labor and the cost of materials.
In addition, the combined ratio was impacted by a 1.6-point increase in current year casualty loss costs in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021, primarily due to an expected increase in claim frequencies resulting from a more normalized amount of miles driven as the COVID-19-related restrictions continue to lessen.

NPW was flat in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021, continuing to be impacted by the challenging personal automobile competitive environment. In the third quarter of 2021, we transitioned our personal lines strategy to targeting customers in the mass affluent market where we believe our strong coverage and servicing capabilities can be more competitive.

First Quarter 2022 experienced elevated non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses associated with physical damage losses on our personal automobile line of business due to higher frequencies and severities from recent inflationary and supply chain impacts that have caused increases to labor and the cost of materials. The likely continuation of this trend, coupled with renewal pure price increases below trend, may put pressure on this segment's profitability in the near-term.
In addition, the loss and loss expense ratio was impacted by a 0.7-point increase in current year casualty loss costs in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021, primarily due to an expected increase in claim frequencies resulting from a more normalized amount of miles driven as the COVID-19-related restrictions continue to lessen.
The 1.5-point decrease in the underwriting expense ratio in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021 was primarily driven by (i) a 0.8-point reduction in commissions, and (ii) a 0.5-point decrease in employee-related expenses.

The decrease in net catastrophe losses in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021 was primarily due to a series of large storms in First Quarter 2021 that significantly impacted Texas and other Southern and Midwestern states, that did not reoccur in First Quarter 2022.
There was no prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2022. The favorable prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2021 was primarily due to improved loss severities in accident years 2016 through 2018.
In addition, the loss and loss expense ratio was impacted by a 1.4-point decrease in current year casualty loss costs in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021. Our E&S casualty lines results have improved over recent years, following a number of underwriting and claims initiatives, strong rate increases, and the decrease in current year casualty loss costs reflects the impacts of these actions.
Investments
The primary objectives of the investment portfolio are to maximize after-tax net investment income and generate long-term growth in book value by maximizing the overall total return of the portfolio. Each objective is balanced against prevailing market conditions, capital preservation considerations, and our enterprise risk-taking appetite. We maintain (i) a well-diversified portfolio across issuers, sectors, and asset classes, and (ii) a high credit quality core fixed income securities portfolio with a duration and maturity profile at an acceptable risk level that provides ample liquidity.
The effective duration of the fixed income securities portfolio, including short-term investments, was 4.1 years as of March 31, 2022, compared to the Insurance Subsidiaries' net loss and loss expense reserves duration of 3.5 years at December 31, 2021.
Our fixed income and short-term investments represented 90% of our invested assets at March 31, 2022, and 91% at December 31, 2021. Additionally, as of both dates, our fixed income securities and short-term investments portfolio had a weighted average credit rating of "A+" with investment grade holdings representing 96% of the total portfolio.
For further details on the composition, credit quality, and the various risks to which our portfolio is subject, see Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” of our 2021 Annual Report.

Net investment income earned increased 4% in First Quarter 2022 compared to First Quarter 2021, driven by income earned on fixed income securities and other investments. During First Quarter 2022, w
e actively traded our fixed income securities portfolio to
opportunistically increase yield in the rising interest rate environment
.
The average after-tax new purchase yield on fixed income security purchases in First Quarter 2022 was 2.6%, which was up sequentially from 2.1% in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 1.7%
in First Quarter 2021. In addition, a
s of March 31, 2022, 14% of our fixed income securities portfolio was invested in floating rate securities, which reset principally to 90-day U.S. dollar-denominated London Interbank Offered Rate.
As the returns on our alternative investments generally follow capital market performance, which was down during First Quarter 2022, we expect losses on these investments in the second quarter of 2022, which will impact net investment income. Over the remainder of 2022, we expect higher reinvestment yields within our fixed income securities portfolio, which will likely result in higher net investment income from these securities.
Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses
When evaluating securities for sale, our general philosophy is to reduce our exposure to securities and sectors based on economic evaluations of whether the fundamentals for that security or sector have deteriorated or the timing is appropriate to opportunistically trade for other securities with better economic-return characteristics.
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses for the indicated periods were as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital resources and liquidity reflect our ability to generate cash flows from business operations, borrow funds at competitive rates, and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.
Liquidity
We manage liquidity by focusing on generating sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. We also adjust our liquidity in light of economic or market conditions, as discussed further below.
Sources of Liquidity
Sources of cash for the Parent historically have consisted of dividends from the Insurance Subsidiaries, the investment portfolio held at the Parent, borrowings under third-party lines of credit, loan agreements with certain Insurance Subsidiaries, and the issuance of equity (common or preferred) and debt securities. We continue to monitor these sources, considering both our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital preservation strategies.
The Parent's investment portfolio includes (i) short-term investments that are generally maintained in “AAA” rated money market funds approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (ii) high-quality, highly liquid government and corporate fixed income securities; (iii) equity securities; (iv) other investments, and (v) a cash balance. In the aggregate, Parent cash and total investments amounted to $518 million at March 31, 2022, and $527 million at December 31, 2021.
The composition of the Parent's investment portfolio may change over time based on various factors, including the amount and availability of dividends from our Insurance Subsidiaries, investment income, expenses, other Parent cash needs, such as dividends payable to stockholders, asset allocation investment decisions, inorganic growth opportunities, debt retirement, and share repurchases. Our target is for the Parent to maintain highly liquid investments of at least twice its expected annual net cash outflow needs, or $180 million.
Insurance Subsidiary Dividends
The Insurance Subsidiaries generate liquidity through insurance float, which is created by collecting premiums and earning investment income before paying claims. The period of float can extend over many years. Our investment portfolio consists of maturity dates that continually provide a source of cash flow for claims payments in the ordinary course of business. To protect our Insurance Subsidiaries' capital, we purchase reinsurance coverage for significantly large claims or catastrophes that may occur.
The Insurance Subsidiaries paid $40 million in total dividends to the Parent during First Quarter 2022. As of December 31, 2021, our allowable ordinary maximum dividend is $322 million for 2022. All Insurance Subsidiary dividends to the Parent are (i) subject to the approval and/or review of its domiciliary state insurance regulator, and (ii) generally payable only from earned statutory surplus reported in its annual statements as of the preceding December 31. Although domiciliary state insurance regulators historically have approved dividends, there is no assurance they will approve future Insurance Subsidiary dividends.
New Jersey corporate law also limits the maximum amount of dividends the Parent can pay our stockholders if either (i) the Parent would be unable to pay its debts as they became due in the usual course of business, or (ii) the Parent’s total assets would be less than its total liabilities. The Parent’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders is also impacted by (i) covenants in its credit agreement that obligate it, among other things, to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to total capitalization, and (ii) the terms of our preferred stock that prohibit dividends to be declared or paid
33
Table of Contents
on our common stock if dividends are not declared and paid, or made payable, on all outstanding preferred stock for the latest completed dividend period.
For additional information regarding dividend restrictions and financial covenants, where applicable, see Note 11. "Indebtedness", Note 17. "Equity", and Note 22. “Statutory Financial Information, Capital Requirements, and Restrictions on Dividends and Transfers of Funds” in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” of our 2021 Annual Report.
Line of Credit
On December 20, 2019, the Parent entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”) and the Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, as Administrative Agent ("Line of Credit"). Under the Line of Credit, the Lenders have agreed to provide the Parent with a $50 million revolving credit facility that can be increased to $125 million with the Lenders' consent. No borrowings were made under the Line of Credit in First Quarter 2022. The Line of Credit will mature on December 20, 2022, and has a variable interest rate based on, among other factors, the Parent’s debt ratings. For additional information regarding the Line of Credit and corresponding representations, warranties, and covenants, refer to Note 11. "Indebtedness" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2021 Annual Report. We met all covenants under our Line of Credit as of March 31, 2022.
Four of the Insurance Subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") branches, as shown in the following table. Membership requires the ownership of branch stock and includes the right to access liquidity. All Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") borrowings are required to be secured by investments pledged as collateral. For additional information regarding collateral outstanding, refer to Note 4. "Investments" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q:

Selective Insurance Company of South Carolina ("SICSC")

Selective Insurance Company of the Southeast ("SICSE")
1
FHLBNY
Selective Insurance Company of America ("SICA")
Selective Insurance Company of New York ("SICNY")
1
These subsidiaries are jointly referred to as the "Indiana Subsidiaries" as they are domiciled in Indiana.
The Line of Credit permits aggregate borrowings from the FHLBI and the FHLBNY up to 10% of the respective member company’s admitted assets for the previous year. As SICNY is domiciled in New York, its FHLBNY borrowings are limited by New York insurance regulations to the lower of 5% of admitted assets for the most recently completed fiscal quarter, or 10% of admitted assets for the previous year-end. As of March 31, 2022, we had remaining capacity of $435.2 million for FHLB borrowings, with a $17.1 million additional stock purchase requirement to allow the member companies to borrow their remaining capacity amounts.
Short-term Borrowings
We did not make any short-term borrowings from FHLB branches during First Quarter 2022. However, on April 1, 2022, SICA borrowed $35 million from the FHLBNY at an interest rate of 0.70% with repayment due on May 2, 2022. This borrowing was refinanced upon its maturity on May 2, 2022, at an interest rate of 1.10%. This borrowing now matures on June 27, 2022. These funds were used for general corporate purposes.
Intercompany Loan Agreements
The Parent has lending agreements with the Indiana Subsidiaries approved by the Indiana Department of Insurance that provide additional liquidity. Similar to the Line of Credit, these lending agreements limit the Parent's borrowings from the Indiana Subsidiaries to 10% of the admitted assets of the respective Indiana Subsidiary. The outstanding balance on these intercompany loans was $40.0 million as of both March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The remaining capacity under these intercompany loan agreements was $109.9 million as of both March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Capital Market Activities
The Parent had no private or public issuances of stock during First Quarter 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we enhanced our capital structure flexibility at the Parent by issuing $200 million of 4.60% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. Net proceeds after issuance costs were $195 million. The Parent is using these proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repurchase of common stock under a $100 million share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors (the "Board") in conjunction with the preferred stock offering. During First Quarter 2022, we repurchased 1,000 shares of our common stock under this authorization at a cost of $75,488, with a $75.49 average price per share, excluding commission costs paid. We have $96.5 million of remaining capacity under our share repurchase program. For additional information on the
34
Table of Contents
preferred stock transaction and share repurchase program, refer to Note 17. “Equity” in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2021 Annual Report.
Uses of Liquidity
The Parent's liquidity generated from the sources discussed above is used, among other things, to pay dividends to our stockholders. Dividends on shares of the Parent's common and preferred stock are declared and paid at the discretion of the Board based on our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, and other relevant factors. On May 4, 2022, our Board declared:
•
A quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.28 per common share, that is payable June 1, 2022, to holders of record on May 16, 2022; and
•
A cash dividend of $287.50 per share on our 4.60% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B (equivalent to $0.28750 per depository share) payable on June 15, 2022, to holders of record as of May 31, 2022.
Our ability to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations on our debt, as well as our ability to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders, is dependent on (i) liquidity at the Parent, (ii) the ability of the Insurance Subsidiaries to pay dividends, if necessary, and/or (iii) the availability of other sources of liquidity to the Parent. Excluding the short-term borrowing described above, our next FHLB borrowing principal repayment is $60 million to FHLBI due on December 16, 2026.
Restrictions on the ability of the Insurance Subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends, without alternative liquidity options, could materially affect our ability to service debt and pay dividends on common and preferred stock.
Capital Resources
Capital resources ensure we can pay policyholder claims, furnish the financial strength to support the business of underwriting insurance risks, and facilitate continued business growth. At March 31, 2022, we had GAAP stockholders' equity of $2.8 billion and statutory surplus of $2.4 billion. With total debt of $505.6 million at March 31, 2022, our debt-to-capital ratio was 15.4%. For additional information on our statutory surplus, see Note 22. "Statutory Financial Information, Capital Requirements, and Restrictions on Dividends and Transfers of Funds" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2021 Annual Report.
The following table summarizes certain contractual obligations we had at March 31, 2022 that may require us to invest additional amounts into our investment portfolio, which we would fund primarily with operating cash flows.

There is no certainty that any such additional investment will be required. We expect to have the capacity to repay and/or refinance these obligations as they come due.
Our current and long-term material cash requirements associated with (i) loss and loss expense reserves, (ii) contractual obligations pursuant to operating and financing leases for office space and equipment, and (iii) notes payable, funded primarily with operating cash flows, have not materially changed since December 31, 2021.
Our other cash requirements include, without limitation, dividends to stockholders, capital expenditures, and other operating expenses, including commissions to our distribution partners, labor costs, premium taxes, general and administrative expenses, and income taxes.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no (i) material guarantees on behalf of others and trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts accounted for at fair value, (ii) material transactions with related parties other than those disclosed in Note 18. “Related Party Transactions” in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” of our 2021 Annual Report, and (iii) material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or
35
Table of Contents
limited purposes. Consequently, we are not exposed to any material financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk related to off-balance sheet arrangements.
We continually monitor our cash requirements and the amount of capital resources we maintain at the holding company and operating subsidiary levels. As part of our long-term capital strategy, we strive to maintain capital metrics that support our targeted financial strength relative to the macroeconomic environment. Based on our analysis and market conditions, we may take a variety of actions, including, without limitation, contributing capital to the Insurance Subsidiaries, issuing additional debt and/or equity securities, repurchasing existing debt, repurchasing shares of the Parent’s common stock, and increasing common stockholders’ dividends.
Our capital management strategy is intended to protect the interests of the policyholders of the Insurance Subsidiaries and our stockholders, while enhancing our financial strength and underwriting capacity. We have a profitable book of business and solid capital base, positioning us well to take advantage of market opportunities that may arise.
Book value per common share decreased 8% to $42.73 as of March 31, 2022, from $46.24 as of December 31, 2021, driven by a $4.07 change in net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities portfolio and $0.28 in dividends to our common stockholders, partially offset by $0.89 in net income per diluted common share. The increase in net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities was primarily driven by an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates and the widening of credit spreads. Our adjusted book value per share, which is book value per share excluding total after-tax unrealized gains or losses on investments included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, increased slightly to $43.80 as of March 31, 2022, from $43.23 as of December 31, 2021.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $93 million in First Quarter 2022 compared to $130 million in First Quarter 2021. Cash flows from operations decreased in First Quarter 2022 primarily driven by reduced underwriting results in our insurance operations. For more information on our underwriting results, refer to "Insurance Operations" above in this MD&A.
Net cash used in investing activities was $96 million in First Quarter 2022 compared to $111 million in First Quarter 2021. Investing activity was less in First Quarter 2022 as a result of reduced cash flows from our insurance operations.
Net cash used in financing activities remained relatively flat with $24 million in First Quarter 2022 compared to $26 million in First Quarter 2021.

There have been no material changes in the information about market risk set forth in our 2021 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. In performing this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in
Internal Control
–
Integrated Framework
("COSO Framework")
in 2013. Based on this evaluation,

Table of Contents
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of such period are (i) effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information on a timely basis that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, and (ii) effective in ensuring that information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is appropriately accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions about required disclosure. No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during First Quarter 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Incidental to our insurance operations, we are routinely engaged in legal proceedings with inherently unpredictable outcomes that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. For additional information regarding our legal risks, refer to Note 12. "Litigation" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” below in Part II. “Other Information.” As of March 31, 2022, we have no material pending legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Certain risk factors can significantly impact our business, liquidity, capital resources, results of operations, financial condition, and debt ratings. These risk factors might affect, alter, or change actions we might take executing our long-term capital strategy. Examples include, without limitation, contributing capital to any or all of the Insurance Subsidiaries, issuing additional debt and/or equity securities, repurchasing our existing debt and/or equity securities, or increasing or decreasing common stockholders' dividends. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors that we cannot predict or assess may emerge. Consequently, we can neither predict such new risk factors nor assess the potential future impact, if any, they might have on our business. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” in our 2021 Annual Report.
We write business domestically in the United States and we do not have direct exposure within our insurance operations to businesses or individuals in Russia or the Ukraine. We do not have material exposure to investments subject to embargos or Russian reinsurance counterparties. However, the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine is impacting global economic, banking, commodity, and financial markets, exacerbating ongoing economic challenges, including inflation and supply chain disruption, which influences insurance loss costs, premiums and investment valuation.
