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 and 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 third quarters ended September 30, 2022 (“Third Quarter 2022”) and September 30, 2021 (“Third Quarter 2021”), and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 ("Nine Months 2022") and September 30, 2021 ("Nine Months 2021"). Our Financial Statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP and the SEC for audited annual financial statements. Because interim period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of full-year results, our Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements 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 Third Quarter and Nine Months 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 GAAP guidance 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, but we do not anticipate its adoption to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03
, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions
(“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual sales restriction on an equity security is not considered when determining the security's fair value. This ASU was issued to eliminate diversity in practice by clarifying that contractual arrangements restricting an entity's ability to sell the security for a certain period of time is a characteristic of the reporting entity and should not be contemplated when determining the security's fair value. ASU 2022-03 requires new disclosures that provide investors with information about the restriction, including the nature and remaining duration of the restriction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

We currently do not intend to sell any of the securities summarized in the tables above, nor will we be required to sell any of them. The increase in gross unrealized losses as of September 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, was driven by an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates and a widening of credit spreads, with the increase in interest rates having the most significant impact. 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 beyond the allowance for credit loss recorded as of September 30, 2022. This conclusion reflects our current judgment about the financial position and future prospects of the entities that issued the investment security and underlying collateral.

(c) AFS and held-to-maturity ("HTM") fixed income securities at September 30, 2022, by contractual maturity are shown below. The maturities of mortgage-backed securities were calculated using each security's estimated average life. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

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 reflect this risk in the Maximum Exposure to Loss column 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 during 2022 or 2021.
The following table shows gross summarized financial information for our other investments portfolio, including the portion we do not own. The majority of these investments are carried under the equity method of accounting and report results to us on a one-quarter lag. The following table provides (i) the total net income reported by these investments to all of their investors for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and (ii) the portion of these results that are included in our Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 and 2021 results:

(e) We have pledged certain AFS fixed income securities as collateral related to our borrowing relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY"). In addition, we had certain securities on deposit with various state and regulatory agencies at September 30, 2022 to comply with insurance laws. We retain all rights regarding all securities pledged as collateral.

Other is comprised of broker quotes or other third-party pricing for which there is a lack of transparency into 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.

In Third Quarter 2022, we recognized an additional allowance for credit losses on premiums receivable of $
2.6
million, excluding the impact of write-offs. The additional allowance consisted of a reserve of $
2.7
million on 2022 premiums based on our historical write-off percentages and assumptions, partially offset by a $
0.1
million allowance reduction on 2021 and older policies.

Table of Contents
In Nine Months 2022, we recognized an additional allowance for credit losses on premiums receivable of $
5.4
million, excluding the impact of write-offs. The additional allowance consisted of a reserve of $
7.0
million on 2022 premiums based on our historical write-off percentages and assumptions, partially offset by a $
1.6
million allowance reduction on 2021 and older policies, primarily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, for which the credit loss did not fully materialize.
In Third Quarter 2021, we recognized expected credit losses, excluding the impact of write-offs, of $
1.2
million on 2021 policies based on our historical write-off percentages and assumptions, partially offset by a $
0.8
million allowance reduction on older policies. In Nine Months 2021, we recognized expected credit losses, excluding the impact of write-offs, of $
6.3
million on 2021 policies based on our historical write-off percentages and assumptions, partially offset by a $
4.2
million allowance reduction on older policies.
For a discussion of the methodology used to evaluate our estimate of expected credit losses on premiums receivable, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2021 Annual Report.

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.
18
Table of Contents
•
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.
The following summaries present revenues (net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments in the case of the Investments segment) and pre-tax income for the individual segments:

Equity
On December 2, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $
100
million share repurchase program, with no set expiration or termination date. Our repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the authorization will be determined by management at its discretion based on market conditions and other considerations. In Nine Months 2022, we repurchased
165,159
shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program, of which
79,100
were repurchased in Third Quarter 2022. The total cost of repurchases, including commissions, was $
12.4
million in Nine Months 2022. We had $
84.2
million of remaining capacity under our share repurchase program as of September 30, 2022.

NOTE 14.
Litigation
As of September 30, 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 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.
To date, insurers (including us) have prevailed in the majority of these suits, with most decisions holding that COVID-19 does not cause physical loss of or damage to property and the Virus Exclusion is valid. Nonetheless, these two matters continue to be litigated in trial courts, are subject to review by state and federal appellate courts, and their ultimate outcome cannot be assured.
From time to time, our Insurance Subsidiaries also are named as defendants in other legal actions, some asserting claims for substantial amounts. Plaintiffs may punitively style these actions 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 actions are large or indeterminate, adverse outcomes could potentially have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

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, forward-looking statements include the words “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 anytime. 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.

Table of Contents
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;
•
Financial Highlights of Results for the third quarters ended September 30, 2022 (“Third Quarter 2022”) and September 30, 2021 (“Third Quarter 2021”); and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 ("Nine Months 2022") and September 30, 2021 ("Nine Months 2021");
•
Results of Operations and Related Information by Segment;
•
Federal Income Taxes;
•
Liquidity and Capital Resources; and
•
Ratings.
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 highly uncertain matters, making them 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. These non-GAAP measures are important financial measures used 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.
Reconciliations of net income available to common stockholders, net income available to common stockholders per diluted common share, ROE, and book value per common share to non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income per diluted common share, non-GAAP operating ROE, and adjusted book value per common share, respectively, are provided in the tables below:

Our Nine Months 2022 non-GAAP operating ROE of 11.6% was above our full-year 2022 targeted non-GAAP operating ROE of 11%, but below our Nine Months 2021 non-GAAP operating ROE of 14.5%.
The decrease in Nine Months 2022 compared to Nine Months 2021 was primarily driven by a reduction in after-tax underwriting and investment income. After-tax underwriting income decreased $34.7 million, or 1.5 ROE points, in Nine Months 2022 compared to Nine Months 2021, primarily from increased non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses and lower favorable prior year casualty reserve development, offset partially by a decrease in net catastrophe losses. The higher non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses were mainly due to the higher inflationary environment.
After-tax investment income decreased $31.8 million, or 1.2 ROE points, in Nine Months 2022 compared to Nine Months 2021, from lower after-tax alternative investment income in Nine Months 2022.
In addition, our ROE was reduced by the impact of net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, which was 5.2 ROE points in Nine Months 2022. Net realized and unrealized investment losses in both current-year periods compared to net realized and unrealized investment gains in the same prior-year periods drove the reduction in our ROE. The increase in net realized and unrealized losses resulted from (i) a decrease in valuations reflecting the current public equities market, (ii) active trading of our fixed income securities to increase the book yield of our fixed income portfolio due to increasing new money rates, resulting in realized losses, and (iii) 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 are well positioned to continue executing on our strategic objectives and delivering growth and profitability. Although not as favorable as Nine Months 2021, our overall Nine Months 2022 financial results were strong, with 11% growth in NPW and a 11.6% non-GAAP operating ROE, which was above our full-year target of 11%.
In 2022, the elevated level of economic inflation, the significant increase in interest rates, and predictions of a recession in the near term, which have led to a widening of credit spreads, have all contributed to lower investment valuations and significant financial market volatility. The higher interest rates and widening of credit spreads, with interest rates having the most significant impact, have reduced the fair value of our fixed income securities, which in turn has negatively impacted our stockholders' equity, which was down 19% during Nine Months 2022. The higher economic inflation has also negatively impacted our property loss and loss expenses through increased severities in our short-tail property lines, which has reduced our underwriting income. Should these trends continue, and in the absence of taking rate and other underwriting actions, our underwriting profitability could be negatively impacted in the near term. We will continue to focus on underwriting improvements and achieving written renewal pure price increases that meet or exceed expected loss trend. In Third Quarter 2022, we achieved Standard Commercial Lines renewal pure price increases of 5.8% and exposure growth of 3.8%, resulting in total renewal premium growth of 9.6%. These rates were up sequentially from the second quarter of 2022, which experienced renewal pure price increases of 5.3% and exposure growth of 3.9%, resulting in total renewal premium growth of 9.2%.
While higher interest rates, wider credit spreads, and financial market volatility have negatively impacted our investment valuations and certain key financial metrics, such as stockholders' equity and book value per common share, they have also provided us with the opportunity to invest our cash flows at significantly higher new money rates. Our pre-tax new money purchase rates for fixed income securities averaged 4.2% in Nine Months 2022, compared to 2.2% for Nine Months 2021. The pre-tax new money purchase rates for fixed income securities increased to 5.1% in Third Quarter 2022, which was above our Third Quarter 2022 average pre-tax fixed income investment yield of 4.2%. The portfolio's net investment income also benefits from our 14% allocation to floating rate fixed income securities, which are primarily tied to 90-day LIBOR, which increased from 0.21% at December 31, 2021, to 3.75% at September 30, 2022. These floating securities have reset quarterly at higher rates, which combined with our higher new money purchase rates for fixed income securities, is contributing to higher net investment income from our fixed income securities. Partially offsetting the increase in net investment income from fixed income securities, are lower returns from our allocation to alternative investments. These assumptions are factored into our full-year after-tax net investment income expectations, as discussed below.
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. In June 2022, we began writing Standard Commercial Lines business in Vermont. In October 2022, we began writing Standard Commercial Lines business in Alabama and Idaho. We plan to expand our Standard Commercial Lines footprint into other states over time;
◦
Increasing customer retention by delivering a superior omnichannel experience and offering value-added technologies and services;
◦
Shifting our Standard Personal Lines products and services towards customers in the mass affluent market, 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 and improving 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 91.5% (prior guidance was 90.5%). Our combined ratio estimate assumes no additional prior year casualty reserve development;
•
Net catastrophe losses of 3.5 points (prior guidance 4.0 points) on the combined ratio;
28
Table of Contents
•
After-tax net investment income of $215 million (prior guidance was $215 million) that includes after-tax net investment income from our alternative investments of $7 million (prior guidance was $15 million);
•
An overall effective tax rate of approximately 20.5%, which 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, which assumes no additional share repurchases we may make under our authorization.
As we look ahead to 2023, we believe the elevated level of economic inflation will persist and continue to negatively impact our short-tail property lines of business and may impact our general and administrative expenses. In addition, we expect reduced reinsurance capacity and higher demand for new and expanded reinsurance purchases by U.S. primary companies will likely result in higher reinsurance prices in 2023 and less favorable terms and conditions for the industry. These factors could negatively impact our 2023 combined ratio and underwriting profits, although we are well-positioned to navigate these challenges and expect to continue generating strong overall returns.

Our NPW growth in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 benefited from strong retention. In addition, increased economic activity and inflation in the U.S. resulted in our customers increasing their sales, payrolls, and exposure units, all of which favorably impacted our NPW.
The increase in NPE in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 compared to the same prior-year periods resulted from the same impacts to NPW described above.

Net catastrophe losses in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 included $10.0 million, or 1.2 points in Third Quarter 2022, and 0.4 points in Nine Months 2022, of net losses from Hurricane Ian, which affected the Southeastern states of our footprint. These losses were partially offset by $1.9 million, or 0.2 points in Third Quarter 2022 and 0.1 points in Nine Months 2022, of flood claims handling fees.
We had less losses from Hurricane Ian in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 than Hurricane Ida in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2021. Net catastrophe losses from Hurricane Ida contributed 5.6 percentage points in Third Quarter 2021 and 1.9 percentage points in Nine Months 2021. Losses from Hurricane Ida were primarily attributable to property losses, including personal and commercial automobiles, in New Jersey and the surrounding states. Accordingly, we experienced lower net catastrophe losses in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 compared to the same prior-year periods.
Also negatively impacting our loss and loss expense ratio was the recognition of $9.3 million of ceded earned casualty reinstatement premium on the second layer of our Casualty Excess of Loss Treaty (“Casualty Treaty”), which increased the ratio by 0.8 points in Third Quarter 2022 and 0.3 points in Nine Months 2022, compared to the same prior-year periods. The recognition of this reinstatement premium was principally due to development on one large loss from the 2018 treaty year and two large losses from the 2020 treaty year. Despite the development on this casualty treaty layer, our prior year loss development, on a net basis, remains favorable as reflected in the table below:

The favorable prior year casualty reserve development in Nine Months 2022 was primarily attributable to improved loss severities in accident years 2019 and prior. The Third Quarter and Nine Months 2021 favorable prior year casualty reserve development was primarily attributable to improved loss severities in accident years 2018 and prior.
The combined ratio increase in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 also included the following loss and loss expense ratio impacts:
•
An increase in ceded earned casualty reinstatement premium, adding 1.9 points in Third Quarter 2022 and 0.7 points in Nine Months 2022 compared to the same prior-year periods, as discussed in the "Insurance Operations" section above; and
•
An increase in current year casualty loss costs of 0.7 points in Third Quarter 2022 and 0.5 points in Nine Months 2022 compared to the same prior-year periods, in anticipation of higher loss trend for this line.

Compared to the same prior-year periods, Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 experienced (i) lower net catastrophe losses, as discussed in the "Insurance Operations" section above, and (ii) elevated non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses, primarily due to higher severities from inflationary and supply chain impacts that have increased labor and material costs, as well as the duration of claims, which impacts vehicle rental days.
The unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 was primarily due to increased severities in the 2021 accident year. There was no prior year casualty reserve development in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2021.
In addition, the combined ratio was impacted by a 0.9-point increase in current year casualty loss costs in Third Quarter 2022 and a 1.5-point increase in Nine Months 2022, compared to the same prior-year periods. The increase in current year casualty loss costs in both periods was primarily due to an expected increase in claim frequencies from a more normalized amount of miles driven as COVID-19-related impacts continue to lessen.

The favorable prior year casualty reserve development in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 was primarily due to improved loss severities in accident years 2019 and prior. The favorable prior year casualty reserve development in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2021 was primarily due to improved loss severities in accident years 2018 and prior.

NPW increased 11% in Third Quarter 2022 and 6% in Nine Months 2022 compared to the same prior-year periods, due to (i) higher direct new business, (ii) stronger retention, (iii) higher homeowner coverage amounts due to inflation adjustments, and (iv) higher average policy sizes from our mass affluent market strategy. 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 will be more competitive.

Third Quarter 2022 experienced lower net catastrophe losses compared to the same prior-year period, as discussed in the "Insurance Operations" section above. Our Third Quarter 2022 net catastrophe losses were impacted by Hurricane Ian, which primarily affected the Southeastern states in our footprint in late September 2022. Partially offsetting these losses was $1.9 million of flood claims handling fees. Nine Months 2022 experienced elevated net catastrophe losses compared to the same

prior-year period as a result of several Midwest wind and thunderstorm events that occurred throughout the second quarter of 2022.
Nine Months 2022 experienced elevated non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses, driven by higher personal automobile physical damage losses. These higher losses resulted from (i) higher frequencies from increased miles driven, and (ii) greater severities from inflationary and supply chain impacts that have increased labor and material costs, and the duration of claims, which impacts vehicle rental days. The likely continuation of elevated non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses, coupled with renewal pure price increases below loss trend, will put pressure on this segment's profitability in the near-term. We are filing rate increases to mitigate these inflationary impacts.

Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 experienced lower net catastrophe losses compared to the same prior-year periods, primarily due to (i) Hurricane Ida in 2021, and (ii) a series of large storms that significantly impacted Texas and other Southern and Midwestern states in Nine Months 2021. These catastrophe events resulted in greater net catastrophe losses in Third

Quarter and Nine Months 2021 compared to events in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022.
Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022 experienced elevated non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses compared to the same prior-year periods, primarily due to increased severity that reflects the normal period-to-period volatility of our property lines of business in this segment and inflationary pressures on labor and material costs.
There was no prior year casualty reserve development in Third Quarter and Nine Months 2022. The favorable prior year casualty reserve development in Nine Months 2021 was primarily due to lower loss severities in accident years 2016 through 2018.
In addition, the loss and loss expense ratio was favorably impacted by a 1.6-point decrease in current year casualty loss costs in both Third Quarter 2022 and Nine Months 2022 compared to the same prior year periods. Our E&S casualty lines results have improved over recent years after several underwriting and claims initiatives and strong rate increases. The decrease in current year casualty loss costs reflects the impacts of these actions.
The underwriting expense ratio increased 1.1 points in Third Quarter 2022 compared to Third Quarter 2021, primarily due to an increase of (i) 0.7 points in labor expenses, and (ii) 0.4 points in commissions. In addition, the underwriting expense ratio increased 0.5 points in Nine Months 2022 compared to Nine Months 2021, primarily due to increased travel expenses.
Reinsurance
We successfully completed negotiations of our July 1, 2022 excess of loss treaties, which cover our Standard Commercial Lines, Standard Personal Lines, and E&S Lines.
We renewed the Casualty Treaty with substantially the same structure as the expiring treaty. The treaty year 2022 deposit premium increased by $16.2 million, or 23%, reflecting higher projected subject earned premium due to growth in our book of business and pure renewal rate increases, coupled with a modest risk-adjusted reinsurance rate increase.
The Property Excess of Loss Treaty (“Property Treaty”) was renewed with a $10 million limit increase in the highest layer. The treaty year 2022 deposit premium increased by $11.3 million, or 28%, from 2021, reflecting (i) an increase in projected subject premium driven by growth in total insured values, insured locations, and rate increases on our underlying policies, (ii) the purchase of additional coverage, and (iii) risk-adjusted insurance rate increases. We anticipate the increase in expected ceded premium will be partially offset by the premium reduction benefit of reduced facultative reinsurance placements resulting from the higher treaty limit.
The following table summarizes the Property Treaty and Casualty Treaty arrangements covering our Insurance Subsidiaries:
Treaty Name
Reinsurance Coverage
Terrorism Coverage
Property Excess of Loss (covers all insurance operations)
$67 million above $3 million retention covering 100% in three layers. Losses other than Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act ("TRIPRA") certified losses are subject to the following reinstatements and annual aggregate limits:
- $7 million in excess of $3 million layer provides unlimited
reinstatements;
- $20 million in excess of $10 million layer provides three
reinstatements, $80 million in aggregate limits; and
- $40 million in excess of $30 million layer provides two
reinstatements, $120 million in aggregate limits.
All nuclear, biological, chemical, and radioactive ("NBCR") losses are excluded regardless of whether or not they are certified under the TRIPRA. For non-NBCR losses, the treaty distinguishes between acts committed on behalf of foreign persons or foreign interests ("Foreign Terrorism") and those that are not. The treaty provides annual aggregate limits for Foreign Terrorism (other than NBCR) acts of $21 million for the first layer, $60 million for the second layer, and $40 million for the third layer. Non-foreign terrorism losses (other than NBCR) are covered to the same extent as non-terrorism losses.
Casualty Excess of Loss (covers all insurance operations)
There are six layers covering 100% of $88 million in excess of $2 million. Losses other than terrorism losses are subject to the following:
- $3 million in excess of $2 million layer provides 41
reinstatements, $126 million annual aggregate limit;
- $7 million in excess of $5 million layer provides six
reinstatements, $49 million annual aggregate limit;
- $9 million in excess of $12 million layer provides three
reinstatements, $36 million annual aggregate limit;
- $9 million in excess of $21 million layer provides one
reinstatement, $18 million annual aggregate limit;
- $20 million in excess of $30 million layer provides one
reinstatement, $40 million annual aggregate limit; and
- $40 million in excess of $50 million layer provides one
reinstatement, $80 million annual aggregate limit.
All NBCR losses are excluded. All other losses stemming from the acts of terrorism are subject to the following:
- $3 million in excess of $2 million layer with $15 million net
annual terrorism aggregate limit;
- $7 million in excess of $5 million layer with $28 million net
annual terrorism aggregate limit;
- $9 million in excess of $12 million layer with $27 million net
annual terrorism aggregate limit;
- $9 million in excess of $21 million layer with $18 million net
annual terrorism aggregate limit;
- $20 million in excess of $30 million layer with $40 million
net annual terrorism aggregate limit; and
- $40 million in excess of $50 million layer with $80 million
net annual terrorism aggregate limit.

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 4.2 years as of September 30, 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 92% of our invested assets at September 30, 2022, and 91% at December 31, 2021. Our fixed income and short-term investments portfolio had a weighted average credit rating of "AA-" as of September 30, 2022 and "A+" as of December 31, 2021, with investment grade holdings representing 96% of the total portfolio at both periods. The improvement in our weighted average credit rating reflects active management of our investment portfolio in Nine Months 2022 to optimize our risk-adjusted investment yields in the rising interest rate environment, resulting in higher credit quality fixed income security purchases.
For further details on the composition, credit quality, and various risks to which our portfolio is subject, see Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” of our 2021 Annual Report.

Invested assets decreased $490.9 million at September 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, reflecting an $843.3 million increase in pre-tax unrealized losses during Nine Months 2022. The increase in pre-tax unrealized losses was primarily due to an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates and the widening of credit spreads, with the increase in interest rates having the most significant impact. This decrease in invested assets was partially offset by operating cash flows during Nine Months 2022 that were 18% of NPW.

Net investment income earned decreased 31% in Third Quarter 2022 and 16% in Nine Months 2022 compared to the same prior-year periods. The decrease in both periods was driven by lower returns on the alternative investments in our other investments portfolio, reflecting lower public market returns.
Partially offsetting the decrease in net investment income earned in both periods, was an increase in income earned on fixed income securities. During Nine Months 2022, w
e managed our fixed income securities portfolio to
opportunistically increase yield in the rising interest rate environment

Table of Contents
Quarter 2022 was 5.1%, up sequentially from 4.5% in the second quarter of 2022 and 3.3% in the first quarter of 2022
. In addition, a
s of September 30, 2022, 14% of our fixed income securities portfolio was invested in floating rate securities that reset principally to 90-day U.S. dollar-denominated London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). LIBOR increased 324 basis points in Nine Months 2022, from 0.21% at December 31, 2021 to 3.75% at September 30, 2022.
Over the remainder of 2022, we expect higher reinvestment yields within our fixed income securities portfolio, which will result in higher net investment income from our fixed income securities. However, we expect this higher income will be largely offset by the impact of Third Quarter 2022 capital market volatility that will likely result in lower valuations on our alternative investments in the fourth quarter of 2022, as our alternative investment results are reported to us on a one-quarter lag.
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:

As of September 30, 2022, our deferred federal income tax asset was $164.6 million compared to a deferred federal income tax liability of $13.4 million as of December 31, 2021. This change was primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses on our investment portfolio resulting from an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates and the widening of credit spreads, with the increase in interest rates having the most significant impact. We believe this change is temporary and recoverable, and therefore, we had no valuation allowance recognized for our deferred federal income tax asset as of September 30, 2022.
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
39
Table of Contents
our business operations. We adjust our liquidity requirements based on economic conditions, market conditions, and future cash flow commitments, 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 our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital preservation strategies.
The Parent's investment portfolio includes (i) short-term investments 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 $506 million at September 30, 2022, and $527 million at December 31, 2021.
The amount and 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 securities with 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 $120 million in total dividends to the Parent during Nine Months 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 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 Nine Months 2022. The Line of Credit will mature on December 20, 2022, and has a variable interest rate based on the Parent’s debt ratings, among other factors. We expect to continue to maintain a credit facility for liquidity purposes. 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 September 30, 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.

These subsidiaries are jointly referred to as the "Indiana Subsidiaries" because 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 September 30, 2022, we had remaining capacity of $436.5 million for FHLB borrowings, with a $17.2 million additional stock purchase requirement to allow the member companies to borrow their remaining capacity amounts.
Short-term Borrowings
During Nine Months 2022, SICA borrowed $35 million from the FHLBNY on April 1, 2022 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% and was subsequently repaid 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 September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The remaining capacity under these intercompany loan agreements was $109.9 million as of both September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Capital Market Activities
The Parent had no private or public stock issuances during Nine Months 2022. During Nine Months 2022, we repurchased 165,159 shares of our common stock under our existing share repurchase program for $12.4 million, or a $75.20 average price per share, excluding commission costs paid. We had $84.2 million of remaining capacity under our share repurchase program as of September 30, 2022. For additional information on the 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 November 2, 2022, our Board declared:
•
A 7% increase in the quarterly cash dividend on common stock, to $0.30 per common share, that is payable December 1, 2022, to holders of record on November 15, 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 December 15, 2022, to holders of record as of November 30, 2022.
Our ability to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations on our debt and 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. 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 September 30, 2022, we had GAAP stockholders' equity of $2.4 billion and statutory surplus of $2.4 billion. With total debt of $505.2 million at September 30, 2022, our debt-to-capital ratio was 17.2%. For additional information on our statutory surplus, see Note 22. "Statutory Financial Information, Capital

There is no certainty (i) that any such additional investments will be required, and (ii) of the actual timing of the funding. We expect to have the capacity to fund these commitments through our normal operating and investing activities as they come due. Our current and long-term material cash requirements associated with (i) loss and loss expense reserves, (ii) contractual obligations under 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 September 30, 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 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 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 potential market opportunities.
Book value per common share decreased 20% to $36.96 as of September 30, 2022, from $46.24 as of December 31, 2021, driven by a $10.64 change in net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities portfolio and $0.84 in dividends to our common stockholders, partially offset by $2.16 in net income available to common stockholders 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, with the increase in interest rates having the most significant impact. 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 $44.59 as of September 30, 2022, from $43.23 as of December 31, 2021.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $485.4 million in Nine Months 2022 compared to $543.3 million in Nine Months 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by lower 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 increased to $450.9 million in Nine Months 2022 compared to $417.8 million in Nine Months 2021, as a result of investing more cash from operating activities. Operating cash flows during Nine Months 2022 were
42
Table of Contents
18% of NPW.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $70.6 million in Nine Months 2022 compared to $106.0 million in Nine Months 2021, primarily due to a decrease in borrowing repayments made in Nine Months 2022, partially offset by increased dividends to our common stockholders and increased activity in our share repurchase program in Nine Months 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
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, 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 Third 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 14. "Litigation" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” below in Part II. “Other Information.” As of September 30, 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 our actions in executing our long-term capital strategy.
43
Table of Contents
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 anytime. Consequently, we can neither predict such new risk factors nor assess the potential future impact 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.
Our ability to reduce our risk exposure depends on the availability and cost of reinsurance.
We transfer a significant portion of our underwriting risk exposure – specifically parts of our loss and loss expense – to reinsurance companies in exchange for specified amounts or percentages of premiums. The availability, amount, and cost of reinsurance depend on market conditions, including retrocessional reinsurance market capacity. By purchasing reinsurance, we have direct and indirect counterparty credit risk to our reinsurers and the reinsurance industry.
The combination of recent economic, geopolitical, and insured loss events increased global reinsurance market uncertainty. The impacts of (i) higher inflation-related reinsurance demand, (ii) reduced capacity due to reinsurer investment portfolio losses, (iii) weakened Euro-United States dollar currency exchange rates, (iv) recent Hurricane Ian-related reinsurer losses, (v) poor reinsurer profitability over the past five years, and (vi) investor and reinsurer concerns about the potential impacts of climate change are all likely to raise prices and reduce the availability of reinsurance.
Current market conditions may put pressure on the availability and pricing of reinsurance as we negotiate the January 1, 2023 renewal of our property catastrophe reinsurance treaty.
To the extent we are exposed to primary policy losses from risks that may be excluded from our upcoming reinsurance treaty renewal coverage, we face increased underwriting risk. Increased underwriting risk could increase our net loss and loss expenses, increasing our underwriting results volatility. Decreased reinsurance capacity also would increase our underwriting risk if we cannot fully place our existing reinsurance treaty coverage on renewal. If our reinsurers have difficulty collecting on their retrocession programs or reinstating retrocession coverage after a large loss, we also may not receive timely or full payment of our reinsurance claims.
National and global economic conditions could adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth.
We write business domestically in the United States, and our insurance operations do not have direct exposure to businesses or individuals in Russia or the Ukraine. We do not have material exposure to investments subject to embargoes 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 influence insurance loss costs, premiums, and investment valuation.
