Net premiums written increased $691 million, or 3.4 percent, in 2025, which includes P&C lines growth of 3.2 percent and financial lines growth of 4.1 percent. Middle market and small commercial grew 6.4 percent, with P&C lines up 7.9 percent and financial lines up 1.0 percent. Major accounts retail and specialty grew 1.4 percent, with property and other short-tail lines down 2.7 percent, casualty up 5.2 percent, and financial lines up 7.6 percent.

The increase in premiums was across a number of lines, most notably in primary and excess casualty and in small and mid-market commercial retail and E&S lines, reflecting new business and rate increases. The increases were partially offset primarily by rate decreases in our Large Risk and E&S brokerage property lines.

Net premiums earned increased $373 million, or 1.9 percent, in 2025, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.

The combined ratio decreased in 2025, primarily driven by lower catastrophe losses.

The CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was relatively flat in 2025, reflecting a change in the mix of business and earned rate exceeding loss trends in certain P&C lines, partially offset by higher loss trends relative to earned rate growth in financial lines, and an increase in the expense ratio reflecting one-off benefits in the prior year.

North America Personal P&C Insurance

The North America Personal P&C Insurance segment comprises operations that provide high net worth personal lines products, including homeowners and complementary products such as valuable articles, excess liability, automobile, and recreational marine insurance and services in the U.S. and Canada.

Net premiums written increased $492 million, or 7.5 percent, in 2025, driven by strong new business and retention, including positive rate and exposure increases across most lines. The growth in premiums for the year ended 2025 was partially offset by $50 million of ceded reinstatement premiums related to the California wildfires.

Net premiums earned increased $575 million, or 9.3 percent, in 2025, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.

The combined ratio increased in 2025, reflecting the California wildfire catastrophe losses, including the unfavorable impact of the ceded reinstatement premiums on the expense ratio, which are fully earned and carry no expenses.

The CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased in 2025, primarily due to an improvement in homeowners and auto from higher rates and lower underlying losses, and a lower administrative expense ratio resulting from the impact of higher net premiums earned and expense management.

North America Agricultural Insurance

The North America Agricultural Insurance segment comprises our North American based businesses that provide a variety of coverages in the U.S. and Canada including crop insurance, primarily Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) and crop-hail through Rain and Hail Insurance Service, Inc.

Net catastrophe losses$24$60$39
Favorable prior period development$121$104$18

Net premiums written increased $223 million, or 8.2 percent, in 2025, primarily due to the favorable year-over-year impact of premium adjustments related to the federal government profit-share agreement of $179 million. Net premiums written for 2025 also reflected higher reported acreage from policyholders, and policy count growth, partially offset by lower commodity prices in the current year.

Net premiums earned increased $214 million, or 7.9 percent, in 2025, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.

The combined ratio decreased in 2025, reflecting lower catastrophe losses, partially offset by a lower year-over-year benefit from favorable prior period development.

The CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased in 2025, due to a higher estimated underwriting gain for the current crop year compared to prior year.

Net premiums written decreased $37 million, or 2.8 percent, in 2025, primarily due to the impact of a large one-off structured transaction in the prior year.

Deposits collected on universal life and investment contracts (life deposits) are not reflected as revenues in our Consolidated statements of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, new life deposits are an important component of production, and although they do not significantly affect current period income from operations, they are key to our efforts to grow our business. Life deposits collected decreased $344 million in 2025, reflecting a shift towards insurance products in Taiwan, and market volatility.

Life Insurance segment income

Life Insurance segment income increased $144 million in 2025, or $178 million on a constant-dollar basis, reflecting the growth in premiums described above, expense leverage, and higher fees and net investment income from asset growth.

Corporate results primarily include the results of our non-insurance companies, income and expenses not attributable to reportable segments, and loss and loss expenses of asbestos and environmental (A&E) liabilities and certain other non-A&E run-off exposures, including molestation.

Losses and loss expenses increased in 2025 primarily due to adverse development relating to our legacy asbestos and environmental exposures, and non A&E run-off casualty exposure, including molestation.

Administrative expenses increased in 2025, primarily due to increased spending to support growth, including digital growth initiatives and higher employee-related expenses.

Integration expenses and severance principally comprise legal and professional fees and all other costs primarily related to acquisitions, as well as severance expenses incurred as part of transformation initiatives to enhance operational efficiency. These expenses are one-time in nature and are not related to the on-going business activities of the segments. The Chief Executive Officer does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these costs and they are therefore excluded from our definition of segment income.

Refer to the respective sections that follow for a discussion of Net realized gains (losses), Net investment income (loss), Amortization of purchased intangibles, and Income tax expense (benefit). Refer to Notes 11 and 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Market risk benefits gains (losses) and Other (income) expense, respectively.
