Gross written premiums decreased by 24.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as compared to same period in 2023.

In addition, within Penn-America, the gross written premiums for Programs decreased primarily due to actions taken in 2023 to improve underwriting results through increased rates and form changes. These reductions in premiums were partially offset by continued growth of 7.1% in aggregate for Penn-America's Wholesale Commercial, InsurTech, and Assumed Reinsurance divisions. The growth in Wholesale Commercial and InsurTech is driven by new agency appointments, organic growth of existing agents, and new products. The growth in Assumed Reinsurance is primarily due to three new treaties entered into during 2023 and increased participation on one treaty.

Previous wording
Each reserve category has an implicit frequency and severity for each accident year as a result of the various assumptions made. If the actual levels of loss frequency and severity are higher or lower than expected, the ultimate losses will be different than management’s best estimate. For most of its reserve categories, the Company believes that frequency can be predicted with greater accuracy than severity. Therefore, the Company believes management’s best estimate is more likely influenced by changes in severity than frequency. The following table, which the Company believes reflects a reasonable range of variability around its best estimate based on historical loss experience and management’s judgment, reflects the impact of changes (which could be favorable or unfavorable) in frequency and severity on the Company’s current accident year net loss estimate of $53.4 million for claims occurring during the quarter ended March 31, 2024:
