Net income increased primarily due to higher net investment income and lower net realized losses. For further discussion of investment results, see MD&A - Investment Results.
Underwriting Gain
Underwriting gain decreased slightly due to unfavorable prior accident year development in the current year, higher underwriting expenses, and a slightly higher underlying loss and LAE ratio, largely offset by earned premium growth and lower CAY catastrophe losses.
Expense ratio is generally consistent with the prior year, with staffing costs and investments in our business being partially offset by the impact of earned premium growth.
