The credit facility commitment fee included in interest expense was $14 and $45 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in interest expense during the current quarter is primarily due to the new loan agreement entered into with Citizens Bank on March 27, 2025, which carries an interest rate of SOFR rate plus 1.25%, compared to the repaid FHLB loan that had a fixed rate of 1.42%. Additionally, the Company no longer incurs a credit facility commitment fee as of March 27, 2025, since a loan is currently outstanding under the facility.

Previous wording

Our Insurance Subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory restrictions that limit the maximum amount of dividends available to be paid to their parent without prior approval of the Commissioner of the Division of Insurance of Massachusetts (the “Commissioner”). The Massachusetts statute limits the dividends an insurer may pay in any twelve-month period, without the prior permission of the Commissioner, to the greater of (i) 10% of the insurer’s surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (ii) the insurer’s net income for the twelve-month period ending the preceding December 31, in each case determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices. Our insurance company subsidiaries may not declare an “extraordinary dividend” (defined as any dividend or distribution that, together with other distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the limits established by Massachusetts statute) until thirty days after the Commissioner has received notice of the intended dividend and has not objected. As historically administered by the Commissioner, this provision requires the Commissioner’s prior approval of an extraordinary dividend. Under Massachusetts law, an insurer may pay cash dividends only from its unassigned funds, also known as earned surplus, and the insurer’s remaining surplus must be both reasonable in relation to its outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs. At December 31, 2024, the statutory surplus of Safety Insurance was $758,789, and its statutory net income for 2024 was $43,387. As a result, a maximum of $75,879 is available in 2025 for such dividends without prior approval of the Commissioner. As a result of this Massachusetts statute, the Insurance Subsidiaries had restricted net assets in the amount of $682,910 at December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Safety Insurance paid dividends to Safety of $25,750.

On February 23, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to$50,000 of the Company’s outstanding common shares. As of June 30, 2025, the Board of Directors has cumulatively authorized increases to the existing share repurchase program of up to $200,000 of its outstanding common shares. Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock for cash in public or private transactions, in the open market or otherwise. The timing of such repurchases and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and applicable regulatory and corporate requirements. The program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. No share repurchases were made by the Company under the program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had purchased 3,215,690 shares of common stock at a cost of $155,240.

Such techniques assume that past experience, adjusted for the effects of current developments and anticipated trends, is an appropriate basis for predicting our ultimate losses, total reserves, and resulting IBNR reserves. It is possible that the final outcome may fall above or below these amounts as a result of a number of factors, including immature data, sparse data, or significant growth in a line of business. Using these methodologies our actuaries established a range of reasonably possible estimations for net reserves of approximately $510,482 to $579,378 as of June 30, 2025. In general, the low and high values of the ranges represent reasonable minimum and maximum values of the indications based on the techniques described above. Our selected point estimate of net loss and LAE reserves based upon the analysis of our actuaries was $550,315 as of June 30, 2025.

Our IBNR reserves consist of our estimate of the total loss reserves required less our case reserves. The IBNR reserves for CAR assumed commercial automobile business are 40.2% of our total reserves for CAR assumed commercial automobile business as of June 30, 2025, due to the reporting delays in the information we receive from CAR, as described further in the section onResidual Market Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves.

Previous wording

Establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process. There can be no certainty that currently established reserves based on our key assumptions regarding frequency and severity in our lines of business, or our assumptions regarding our share of the CAR loss will prove adequate in light of subsequent actual experience. To the extent that reserves are inadequate and are strengthened, the amount of such increase is treated as a charge to earnings in the period that the deficiency is recognized. To the extent that reserves are redundant and are released, the amount of the release is a credit to earnings in the period the redundancy is recognized. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 1 percentage-point change in the loss and LAE ratio would result in a change in reserves of $5,549. Each 1 percentage-point change in the loss and LAE ratio would have had a $4,384 effect on net income, or $0.30 per diluted share.

Our assumptions consider that past experience, adjusted for the effects of current developments and anticipated trends, are an appropriate basis for establishing our reserves. Our individual key assumptions could each have a reasonable possible range of plus or minus 5 percentage-points for each estimation, although there is no guarantee that our assumptions will not have more than a 5 percentage point variation. The following sensitivity tables present information for each of our primary lines of business on the effect each 1 percentage-point change in each of our key assumptions on unpaid frequency and severity could have on our retained (i.e., direct minus ceded) loss and LAE reserves and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025. In evaluating the information in the table, it should be noted that a 1 percentage-point change in a single assumption would change estimated reserves by 1 percentage-point. A 1 percentage-point change in both our key assumptions would change estimated reserves within a range of plus or minus 2 percentage-points.
