The increase was partially offset by higher favorable prior period development.
Current report
The P&C CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting an improvement from earned rate and exposure exceeding loss trends, the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned, and the favorable impact of lower year-over-year large-structured transactions, which benefited the current year loss ratio, but had a partially offsetting unfavorable impact to the expense ratio.

The increase in premiums reflects growth of 7.6 percent in the North America Commercial Insurance division, while the North America Major Accounts and Specialty Insurance division declined 1.7 percent, primarily due to lower year-over-year large-structured transactions. The overall increase in premiums was across a number of lines, most notably in primary and excess casualty, reflecting strong new business and rate increases, partially offset by rate decreases in our Large Risk and E&S brokerage property lines, and in our financial lines.

Current report
Net premiums written increased $27 million, or 11.0 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a ceded premium increase of $41 million to the U.S. Government under the profit-sharing formula in the prior year, which impacted growth by 15.6 percentage points, partially offset by lower commodity prices in the current year.
Current report
The combined ratio increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting higher catastrophe losses, and a lower impact from favorable prior period development.
Current report
The CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting earned rate exceeding loss trend in our Agriculture P&C business, partially offset by a change in the mix of business away from products that carry a lower policy acquisition cost ratio.

Current report
Net premiums earned increased $73 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting the increase in net premiums written described above including catastrophe reinstatement premiums, which were fully earned when written. The increase is also due to the impact of higher new business written in the prior year for which premiums are earned in the current year.
Current report

This growth was primarily due to strong new business in North Asia, notably in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea through broker distribution channels. Additionally, Huatai Group's life insurance business contributed through growth in agency distribution channels.
Current report
Life Insurance segment income increased $23 million, or $39 million on a constant-dollar basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting strong underwriting margins in A&H products, higher net investment income from growth in assets, and expense management, partially offset by higher new business strain and the absence of higher-than-expected other income totaling $8 million in the prior year period.

Previous report
The P&C combined ratio and the P&C CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting the favorable impact of higher net premiums earned, a higher percentage of net premiums earned from property lines and excess and surplus homeowners, and the contemplation of a higher underwriting gain in MPCI for the current crop year.

The P&C combined ratio also reflects higher catastrophe losses, which were partially offset by higher favorable prior period development.
Previous report
The P&C combined ratio was relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as the favorable factors mentioned above were substantially offset by higher loss trends in certain casualty lines, price changes not keeping pace with loss trends in financial lines, and higher catastrophe losses.

The CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting an improvement in homeowners from earned rate and exposure growth, and a higher percentage of net premiums earned from excess and surplus homeowners, which carry a lower loss and expense ratio. Additionally, the improvement includes lower acquisition expenses due to commission reductions in our auto and excess lines. The improvement was partly offset by an increase in excess liability loss trends.
Previous report
Net premiums written decreased $142 million, or 9.3 percent, and $195 million, or 7.6 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to lower commodity prices in the current year.

Previous report
The combined ratio and the CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which contemplates a higher underwriting gain for the current crop year. The improvement for the three months ended September 30, 2024, also includes a favorable impact from our crop commodity price hedge activity, which produced a lower loss this year versus the prior year quarter.

In evaluating our segments, excluding Life Insurance financial performance, we use the P&C combined ratio, the loss and loss expense ratio, the policy acquisition cost ratio, and the administrative expense ratio. We calculate these ratios by dividing the respective expense amounts by net premiums earned. We do not calculate these ratios for the Life Insurance segment as we do not use these measures to monitor or manage the business in that segment. The P&C combined ratio is determined by adding the loss and loss expense ratio, the policy acquisition cost ratio, and the administrative expense ratio. A P&C combined ratio under 100 percent indicates underwriting income, and a combined ratio exceeding 100 percent indicates underwriting loss.
