Previous wording
Changing U.S. and global economic conditions may impact our business. Evolving U.S. trade policy, including tariffs imposed on imported goods in 2025, could affect our claims costs. In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") to impose tariffs was not authorized by Congress, invalidating a significant portion of tariffs that had been in effect since April 2025. While the ruling struck down the IEEPA-based tariffs, it does not prevent the administration from imposing tariffs using other legal authorities. Following the ruling, the administration invoked alternative statutory authorities imposing a global tariff, and the administration has indicated its intention to continue to pursue alternative statutory mechanisms to reinstate or impose new tariffs. Tariffs on building materials may increase home repair costs, tariffs on automotive parts may increase vehicle repair and replacement costs, and tariffs on consumer goods may increase the cost of replacing covered personal property. To the extent tariff-driven cost increases are sustained, we may seek premium rate adjustments, subject to regulatory approval in applicable states; however, there may be a lag between when we experience increased claims costs and when we are able to implement corresponding rate increases, which could negatively impact our loss ratios in the interim. More broadly, inflation, whether driven by tariffs, supply chain disruptions, labor market conditions, or other factors, if any, has impacted and could continue to impact our claims costs, product pricing and investment yield, among other impacts. Capital market volatility may also affect our investment portfolio and access to capital. The actual effects of these macroeconomic factors on our results remains unknown and cannot be estimated with precision.

We obtain reinsurance to help manage our exposure to property and casualty insurance risks. Although our reinsurance counterparties are liable to us according to the terms of the reinsurance policies, we remain primarily liable to our policyholders as the direct insurers on all risks reinsured. For additional information, see "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Our Business" and "Risks Relating to Our Industry" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result, reinsurance does not eliminate the obligation of our insurance subsidiaries to pay all claims, and we are subject to the risk that one or more of our reinsurers will be unable or unwilling to honor its obligations, that the reinsurers will not pay in a timely fashion, or that our losses are so large that they exceed the limits inherent in our reinsurance contracts, each of which could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, reinsurance may be unavailable at current levels and prices, which may limit our ability to write new business.
