The slight decrease in premiums for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in individual disability premiums and a few large case terminations in our group insurance businesses during 2009. The decrease in individual disability premiums for 2010 was primarily related to a single premium of approximately $18 million received in the first quarter of 2009 related to the termination of reinsurance on certain individual disability reinsured policies and claims. The premiums received from these terminations of reinsurance were offset by approximately $18 million in additional reserves assumed.

On December 31, 2002, AFG transferred to Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation ("Infinity", a newly formed subsidiary) subsidiaries involved primarily in the issuance of nonstandard auto policies. Effective January 1, 2003, GAI transferred to Infinity its personal insurance business written through independent agents.

In addition, AFG realized a $5.5 million tax benefit related to its basis in Infinity stock. In December 2003, AFG sold its remaining share of Infinity for net proceeds of $214 million, realizing a pretax gain of $56.5 million on the sale. The businesses transferred generated aggregate net written premiums of approximately $690 million in 2002.

Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted operating income. Net income for any period presents the results of our insurance operations, as well as our net realized gains (losses). We consider investment income generated by our invested assets to be part of the results of our insurance operations because they are acquired and generally held to maturity to generate income that we use to meet our obligations. Conversely, we do not consider many of the activities reported through net realized gains (losses) as part of the results of our insurance operations. The timing and amount of these gains (losses) are driven by investment decisions and external economic developments unrelated to our management of the insurance and underwriting aspects of our business.

In November 1995, the FASB issued "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which provided a one-time opportunity to reassess the appropriateness of the classifications of securities described in FAS 115, and to reclassify fixed maturities from the held to maturity category without calling into question the intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. On December 31, 1995, UNUM reassessed its fixed maturity portfolio and as allowed under the implementation guidance, reclassified fixed maturities with an amortized cost of $6,082.8 million and a related unrealized gain of $393.0 million from the held to maturity category to available for sale. The unrealized gain on the total available for sale fixed maturity portfolio was $551.9 million at December 31, 1995. In connection with the reclassification of the held to maturity fixed maturities to available for sale, on December 31, 1995, UNUM adjusted its unpaid claims by $261.2 million to reflect the changes that would have been necessary if the unrealized gains and losses related to fixed maturities classified as available for sale had been realized. At December 31, 1996, the unrealized gain on available for sale fixed maturities was $286.0 million and the related unpaid claims adjustment was $168.7 million.

The Group uses Z-ECM to assess the economic capital consumption of its business on a one-balance-sheet approach. Z-ECM is an integral part of how the Group is managed. It is embedded in the Group’s organization and decisionmaking processes, and is used in capital allocation, business performance management, pricing, reinsurance purchasing, transaction evaluation, risk optimization, and regulatory, investor, and rating agency communication. Z-ECM quantifies the capital required for insurance-related risk (including premium and reserve, natural catastrophe, business and life insurance), market risk, reinsurance credit and operational risks. In 2015, Zurich enhanced its market risk model; market risk and investment credit risk are now quantified in an integrated way.

The overall general insurance claims ratio shows reasonably consistent trends for the past three years. To a large extent, this major cost factor reflects pricing and risk selection improvements that have been applied since 2001, together with elements of reduced loss severity and frequency. Claims ratios in 2012 were affected by higher loss costs for the aggregate commercial automobile (trucking), general liability, and workers' compensation coverages. 2013 ratios remained at relatively high levels as workers' compensation and general liability loss costs continued to reflect greater-than-expected severity.

The Company also increased the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses on the Commercial Automobile Excess Liability Insurance ("Excess Liability") product sold to rental car companies (Commercial Lines Underwriting Segment) primarily for the 2000 and 2001 accident years by $6.9 million ($4.9 million net of reinsurance). As of December 31, 2001 the Company had estimated a total liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for the Excess Liability policies issued in these years of $23.0 million ($21.6 million net of reinsurance). Excess Liability provides automobile liability coverage in excess of the state mandated limits which are provided by the rental car company. During the third quarter of 2002, pursuant to a routine underwriting review focusing on price adequacy and loss experience, the Company non-renewed a significant Excess Liability customer as a result of an unacceptable underwriting risk profile. This adverse loss development was primarily due to pricing inadequacy and the adverse loss experience of this customer. Additionally, the Company has experienced a delay in both the reporting of claims and the claim litigation discovery process as a result of this policyholder and another Excess Liability policyholder filing for Chapter 11 during the third quarter 2002 and fourth quarter 2001, respectively.

Medical malpractice and other property and casualty loss and loss adjustment expense (LAE) reserves are established based on known facts and interpretation of circumstances, including the Company's experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, loss payments and pending levels of unpaid claims, as well as court decisions and economic conditions. The effects of inflation are considered in the reserving process. Establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process, and there can be no assurance that currently established reserves will prove adequate in light of subsequent actual experience. The Company follows a practice of conservatively estimating its future liabilities relating to losses already incurred and has attempted to establish its loss and LAE reserves at the upper end of a reasonable range of reserve estimates. The Company believes that it has been particularly difficult to make such estimates for medical malpractice claims in California because of the uncertain benefits of tort reform measures and changes in the judicial process.

These items were partially offset by expenses incurred in 2006 in our full service business relating to the expansion of our distribution and client servicing capabilities and costs associated with expense reduction initiatives, lower mortgage prepayment income and higher crediting rates on full service general account liabilities.

The performance of our company's share in the period until early September can be described as relatively satisfactory. Only as it became caught up in the wake of 11 September did the share lose value on a massive scale, falling to EUR 38.51 on 21 September – its lowest point since mid–1997. Although it had recovered some ground by year-end, the share price failed to climb back to its pre-September 11 level. In the months that followed we conducted an intensive information campaign aimed at strengthening confidence in our share and restoring its value. Only during the early months of the current year have these efforts met with appreciable success, as by further stepping up our Investor Relations activities – not only in traditional markets but also in new regions such as Scandinavia, the Benelux countries and Asia – we have been able to stimulate demand for our share.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective for contract modifications made between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The new guidance reduces the operational and financial impacts of contract modifications that replace a reference rate, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), affected by reference rate reform. The adoption of the new guidance provides relief from current GAAP and is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the reference rate reform on contract modifications through December 31, 2022.

In first quarter 2006, Gallagher contributed $4.3 million to the plan through the issuance of 148,000 shares of Gallagher’s common stock. The Gallagher common stock that is issued under the plan to the rabbi trust is valued at historical cost (fair market value at the date of grant). The unearned deferred compensation obligation is recorded as a reduction of capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the participants. Future changes in the fair value of the Gallagher common stock that is owed to the participants do not have any impact on Gallagher’s consolidated financial statements. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, was charged to compensation expense related to this plan. During 2008 and 2006, 67,000 and 30,000 shares of Gallagher’s common stock were vested and distributed to employees under this plan, with an aggregate fair value of $1.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. No shares were vested or distributed to employees in 2007. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $11.4 million (related to 713,000 shares) and $13.9 million (related to 780,000 shares), respectively, of unearned deferred compensation was recorded as an offset to capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The total intrinsic value of unvested Gallagher common stock under the plan at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $18.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively.

The property and casualty insurance industry is characterized by periods of soft market conditions, in which premium rates are stable or falling and insurance is readily available, and by periods of hard market conditions, in which premium rates rise, coverage may be more difficult to find, and insurers’ profits increase. The Company believes that the California property and casualty insurance market continues to be a “soft market.” The Company cannot determine how long the existing market conditions will continue nor in which direction they might change. Despite the increased competition in the property and casualty marketplace, the Company believes that rate adequacy is more important than premium growth and that underwriting profit (net earned premium less losses and loss adjustment expenses and policy acquisition costs) is its primary goal. Nonetheless, Crusader believes that it can grow its sales and profitability by continuing to focus upon three key areas of its operations: (1) product development, (2) improved service to retail brokers, and (3) appointment of captive and independent retail agents.

In general, a significant portion of the Company’s older polices reimburse claimants that are receiving care in a facility on an indemnity basis, meaning that the Company pays 100% of the maximum daily benefit regardless of the cost of the care provided. The Company’s newer generations of products pay facility claims on a cost incurred basis, meaning that the Company only reimburses for the cost of care provided up to the maximum daily benefit. However, all of the Company’s home health care benefits are paid on a cost incurred basis regardless of when the policy was issued.

As of December 31, 2014, the majority of the international and structured finance insurance segment’s case basis reserves and insurance loss recoveries recorded in accordance with GAAP were related to insured second and first-lien RMBS transactions. These reserves and recoveries do not include estimates for policies insuring credit derivatives or losses and recoveries on financial guarantee VIEs that are eliminated in consolidation. Policies insuring credit derivative contracts are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value under GAAP. The fair values of insured derivative contracts are influenced by a variety of market and transaction-specific factors that may be unrelated to potential future claim payments under the Company’s insurance policies. In the absence of credit impairments on insured derivative contracts or the early termination of such contracts at a loss, the cumulative unrealized losses recorded from these contracts should reverse before or at the maturity of the contracts.

Estimated gross profits are composed of earned premium, interest income, losses and LAE. Estimates of expected gross profit, including the Persistency Rate and loss development assumptions for each underwriting year used as a basis for amortization, are evaluated quarterly and the total amortization recorded to date is adjusted by a charge or credit to our consolidated statements of operations if actual experience or other evidence suggests that previous estimates should be revised. Considerable judgment is used in evaluating these estimates and the assumptions on which they are based. The use of different assumptions may have a significant effect on the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. Ceding commissions received under our reinsurance arrangements related to these costs are also deferred and accounted for using similar assumptions. See Notes 8 and 9 for additional information.

Other written premiums, primarily premiums that are ceded to reinsurers and that lower our net written premiums, had a significantly greater unfavorable effect in 2011 compared with 2010. The $40 million change was driven by additional ceded premiums for our property catastrophe reinsurance treaty, $24 million for reinstatement premiums following two large catastrophe events during 2011 and $14 million for the third and fourth event cover that was discussed in Consolidated Property Casualty Insurance Results of Operations, Page 51. For estimated premiums of policies in effect but not yet processed, 2011 had a less favorable adjustment and 2010 had a more favorable adjustment, both compared with the prior year. The adjustment for estimated premiums had an immaterial effect on earned premiums.

The Company has a quarterly monitoring process involving legal and accounting professionals. Legal personnel first identify outstanding corporate litigation and regulatory matters posing a reasonable possibility of loss. These matters are then jointly reviewed by accounting and legal personnel to evaluate the facts and changes since the last review in order to determine if a provision for loss should be recorded or adjusted, the amount that should be recorded, and the appropriate disclosure. The outcomes of certain contingencies currently being evaluated by the Company, which relate to corporate litigation and regulatory matters, are inherently difficult to predict, and the reserves that have been established for the estimated settlement amounts are subject to significant changes. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of the Company. In view of the uncertainties regarding the outcome of these matters, as well as the tax-deductibility of payments, it is possible that the ultimate cost to the Company of these matters could exceed the reserve by an amount that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or liquidity in a particular quarterly or annual period.

Net investment income decreased 20.1% or $746 million to $2.97 billion in 2009 from $3.72 billion in 2008. The decline was primarily due to lower yields, actions to shorten duration and maintain additional liquidity in the portfolio, along with reduced average investment balances resulting primarily from reduced contractholder obligations. Lower yields were particularly impacted by short-term and variable rate assets.

and prior. The prior year period included $11.3 million or 0.5 points of adverse development on prior accident year losses mainly due to adverse development on catastrophe losses, primarily related to hurricanes Katrina and Wilma and two 2004 catastrophes, partially offset by favorable development on prior accident year non-catastrophe losses in specialty lines and commercial lines. Our expense ratio for 2007 decreased due to the benefit of one-time, non-recurring items including the partial settlement of our qualified pension plan liabilities and the benefit of a state premium tax refund which reduced our expense ratio by 1.0 point and 0.4 points, respectively, partially offset by 0.7 point of office consolidation costs. Our 2006 results included 3.9 points related to incentive compensation expense which was 1.0 point higher than in 2007 and 1.0 point of office consolidation costs.

On the basis of these reports, the Supervisory Board regularly discussed, in particular, the development of results in the Munich Re Group’s individual business segments.

Renewal commissions receivables arise from direct-to-consumer Medicare broking sales. Cash collections for these receivables are expected to occur over a period of several years. Due to the provisions of ASC 606, these receivables are not discounted for a significant financing component when initially recognized (see Note 2 - Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements). However, as a result of recognizing the fair value of these receivables in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, these receivables have now been present-valued at the acquisition date. Prior to this fair value adjustment, the carrying value of these receivables was $231 million. The adjusted values of these acquired renewal commissions receivables will be included in prepaid and other current assets or other non-current assets, as appropriate, on the consolidated balance sheets. The acquired renewal commissions receivables will be accounted for prospectively using the cost recovery method in which future cash receipts will initially be applied against the acquisition date fair value until the value reaches zero. Any cash received in excess of the fair value determined at acquisition will be recorded to earnings when it is received at a future date.

Valuation movements on investments With the exception of debt securities held by Jackson, investment gains and losses during the year (to the extent that changes in capital values do not directly match changes in liabilities) are included directly in the profit for the year and shareholders’ equity as they arise. The results for any covered business conceptually reflects the aggregate of the IFRS results and the movements on the additional shareholders’ interest recognised on the EEV basis. Thus the start point for the calculation of the EEV results for Jackson, as for other businesses, reflects the market value movements recognised on the IFRS basis. However, in determining the movements on the additional shareholders’ interest, the basis for calculating the Jackson EEV result acknowledges that for debt securities backing liabilities the aggregate EEV results reflect the fact that the value of in-force business instead incorporates the discounted value of future spread earnings. This value is not affected generally by short-term market movements on securities that are, broadly speaking, held for the longer-term. Fixed income securities backing the free surplus and required capital for Jackson are accounted for at fair value. However, consistent with the treatment applied under IFRS for Jackson securities classified as available-for-sale, movements in unrealised appreciation on these securities are accounted for in equity rather than in the income statement, as shown in the movement in shareholders’ equity.

Prior to the AFG/AFC merger in November 2003, AFC filed consolidated federal income tax returns which included all 80%-owned U.S. subsidiaries, except for certain life insurance subsidiaries and their subsidiaries. Because holders of AFC Preferred Stock held in excess of 20% of AFC's voting rights, AFG (parent) and AFC Holding Company were not eligible to file consolidated returns with AFC, and therefore, filed separately. Following the AFG/AFC merger, AFG will file consolidated federal income tax returns, which will include the companies previously included in the AFC consolidated return.

Our catastrophe unit generated $399.7 million of underwriting income in 2010, compared to $649.4 million in 2009, a decrease of $249.7 million. The decrease in underwriting income was due primarily to a $255.4 million increase in net claims and claim expenses as a result of $252.4 million of net claims and claim expenses related to the 2010 earthquakes and a $10.2 million increase in underwriting expenses, and partially offset by a $15.8 million increase in net premiums earned. Net premiums earned in 2010 included $28.0 million of reinstatement premiums earned as a result of the 2010 earthquakes. The September 2010 New Zealand and Chilean earthquakes added 36.8 percentage points to the catastrophe unit’s combined ratio for 2010 as detailed in the table below:
