The net underwriting result improved by USD 1.4 billion to USD 412 million, with an overall combined ratio of 98.4 percent, an improvement of 5.1 percentage points from 2015. The loss ratio improved by 5.2 percentage points reflecting lower catastrophe and weather events, and an improvement in large and underlying loss experience across most regions. The result also reflects favorable development in loss reserves established in prior years compared with negative development in 2015. The favorable development in 2016 was due to reductions in most regions, partly offset by Group Reinsurance. The expense ratio remained at prior year levels, reflecting a lower expense base as a result of initiatives to reduce costs across all regions and the effect of positive non-recurring items in 2016, offset by lower premium volumes.

Unfavorable prior year reserve development of approximately $180 million was recorded for CNA HealthPro in 2002 and was driven principally by medical malpractice excess products provided to hospitals and physicians and coverages provided to long term care facilities, principally national for-profit nursing homes. Approximately $100 million of the prior year unfavorable reserve development was related to assumed excess products and loss portfolio transfers, and was primarily driven by unexpected increases in the number of excess claims in accident years 1999 and 2000. The percentage of total claims greater than $1 million has increased by 33%, from less than 3% of all claims to more than 4% of all claims. CNA HealthPro no longer writes assumed excess products and loss portfolio transfers.

The calculation of embedded values necessarily makes numerous assumptions with respect to economic conditions, operating conditions, taxes, and other matters, many of which are beyond the Group’s control. Although the assumptions used represent estimates which the Group and Deloitte believe are together reasonable, actual future experience may vary from that assumed in the calculation of the embedded value results, and such variation may be material. Deviations from assumed experience are normal and are to be expected. The embedded value results have been prepared using generally accepted actuarial methods that use deterministic projections that do not allow for all of the cost of options and guarantees on a market consistent basis.

In 2012, total large losses incurred increased by $28 million or 4 percent, net of reinsurance. The corresponding ratio decreased 1.3 percentage points, as earned premium growth more than doubled the rate of growth in total large losses. Large loss trends are further analyzed in the segment discussion and analysis that follows discussion of consolidated property casualty results. Our analysis of large losses incurred indicated no unexpected concentration of these losses and reserve increases by geographic region, policy inception, agency or field marketing territory. We believe the inherent volatility of aggregate loss experience for our portfolio of larger policies is greater than that of our portfolio of smaller policies, and we continue to monitor the volatility in addition to general inflationary trends in loss costs.

On July 1, 2004, we purchased all of the common shares of Satellite Acquisition Corporation (Satellite), a corporation formed by senior management at Talbot Financial Corporation (Talbot). In turn, Satellite purchased 100% of Talbot from Safeco Corporation. We are to purchase special shares of Satellite owned by the management of Talbot using a combination of both restricted and unrestricted Hub common shares or cash. The first payment of $16.4 million was made in cash on September 1, 2005, based upon Talbot’s earnings for the 12 months ending December 31, 2004. The remaining payments will be made on March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 based upon Talbot’s earnings for the 12 month periods ending December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We estimate the March 31, 2006 payment to be approximately $19.0 million. The contingent payment to Talbot management is recorded by us as a charge to earnings over the period in which the payments are earned because it is a compensation based arrangement and specifically a performance award. The management of Talbot was and is to be compensated for future services based on achieving certain performance target during each of the 12 months ending December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006. We estimate that the aggregate value of compensation which will be recognized under this arrangement will be approximately $56 million of which $28.7 million and $14.4 million were recognized in 2005 and 2004, respectively. At December 31, 2005, $26.7 million of compensation relating to the Talbot acquisition was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

White Mountains’ total expenses decreased by 6% to $4,604 million for 2006, primarily due to a $406 million decrease in losses and LAE, partially offset by a $70 million increase in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in losses and LAE was due mainly to lower catastrophe losses in 2006 compared to 2005. In 2005, White Mountains reported $422 million in pre-tax loss and LAE on hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, compared to $106 million in loss and LAE from adverse development on those storms, as well as a $137 million loss and $9 million in forgone override commissions from the Olympus reimbursement in 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2006 when compared to 2005 was primarily due to increased incentive compensation expenses.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The expected terms of options are developed by considering the Company’s historical share option exercise experience, demographic profiles, historical share retention practices of employees and assumptions about their propensity for early exercise in the future. Further, the Company aggregates individual awards into relatively homogenous groups that exhibit similar exercise behavior to obtain a more refined estimate of the expected term of options. Expected volatility is estimated using weekly historical volatility. The Company believes that historical volatility is currently the best estimate of expected volatility. The dividend yield in 2013, 2012 and 2011 was calculated by taking the natural logarithm of the annualized yield divided by the Kemper common stock price on the date of grant. The risk free interest rate was the yield on the grant date of U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a maturity comparable to the expected term of the option.

In recent years, pressure on Medicare Supplement sales has come from federal mandates implemented in 1992 that substantially reduced allowable first year agents' commissions. As a result, many independent agencies that previously accounted for most of Torchmark's sales of this product left the Medicare Supplement market, adversely affecting sales. Torchmark has implemented certain measures to offset the decline. Medicare Supplement products are now primarily sold by the United American exclusive agency, which is less subject to the financing pressures of independent agencies. Further, very cost- efficient sales leads for this agency are provided by Torchmark's direct response operation. This agency also benefits from the low cost, highly service-oriented back office administration which frees agents to devote full time to sales. In the last few years the primary competition affecting Medicare Supplement sales has come from Medicare health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), the managed care alternative to traditional fee-for- service Medicare. However, during the last year, growing public dissatisfaction with HMO service, and increased federal regulatory pressures on HMOs, appear to be making Medicare HMOs a less attractive alternative. While 1997 Medicare Supplement sales were down slightly, from $66 million in 1996 to $65 million, sales in the second half of 1997 increased 6% over the first half of the year.

While economic growth in the United States is predicted to slow to 3.2 % (2005: 3.7 %), primarily as a result of the restrictive interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve Bank, it should increase slightly in Europe. We believe that most of the EU countries will slightly exceed the growth of the previous year, except in Spain, where we expect the pace of growth to slow. We expect the German economy to perform positively in 2006. We expect increased investment and increases in consumer spending as a response to the changes in tax policy by the German federal government, largely as a result of the increase in value added tax in 2007. We estimate economic growth in Germany will reach approximately 2 %, doubling that of the previous year. With minor deviations,

Tax cost In connection with the conversion of Gjensidige Forsikring BA to a public limited company the Ministry of Finance has consented to an exemption from capital gains taxation on the transfer of business to the newly formed public limited company under certain conditions. The consequences of the tax relief decision have been incorporated into the tax expense and tax liabilities from fourth quarter 2010. The tax relief decision involves greater complexity and discretionary assessments, which entails a greater degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax expense and tax liabilities until all the effects have ultimately been evaluated by the tax authorities.

Pre-tax earnings of CORT and XTRA in 2012 were $148 million, a decline of $7 million (5%) versus 2011. In 2012, CORT’s earnings increased over 2011 due to a 5% increase in rental income and relatively stable selling, general and administrative expenses, which improved operating margins. In 2012, earnings from XTRA declined primarily due to increased depreciation expense and lower foreign currency exchange gains.

The Commercial business has shown strong revenue growth year over year notwithstanding significant price competition as HSB continues to focus on its client company strategy. Net earned premiums in the commercial segment rose $37.3 million in 1998 due primarily to strong growth in client company billings and integration of the Kemper portfolio. Domestic operations posted an underwriting gain that was partially offset by a difficult claims year internationally, particularly due to severe ice storms that affected over 30 percent of Canada. The high tax benefit recognized on Canadian losses caused the effective tax rate decline from 1997.

ING is obliged to return equivalent securities in such cases.

Historically in the insurance industry, the ratio of statutory premiums to surplus has been used as a measure of solvency. An increase in the ratio can indicate a possible increase in solvency risk. Management and certain analysts also view this ratio as a measure of the effective use of capital since, as the ratio increases, revenue per dollar of invested capital increases, indicating the possible opportunity for an increased return. Our statutory premiums to surplus ratio has increased to 1.9x in 2002 from 1.8x in 2001, but this increase is mainly due to the effect of price increases and not to increased exposure.

One way that we evaluate the performance of our property and casualty reinsurance results is by measuring net underwriting income or loss. We do not measure performance based on the amount of gross premiums written. Net underwriting income or loss is calculated from net premiums earned, less net loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses related to the underwriting activities.

Corporate and Other segment operating income was $82.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a loss of $106.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The variance was primarily due to a pre-tax gain on the repurchase of surplus notes of $126.3 million, net of deferred issue costs, and positive mark-to-market adjustments of $49.8 million on a $272.6 million trading portfolio, representing a $123.9 million more favorable impact for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was partially offset by reduced yields on a large balance of cash and short-term investments and higher operating expenses.

The Departments of Insurance in Ohio and California prescribe minimum levels of capital and surplus for insurance companies, and set guidelines for insurance company investments. PICO's insurance subsidiaries structure the maturity of fixed-income securities to match the projected pattern of claims payments; however, it is possible that fixed-income and equity securities may occasionally need to be sold at unfavorable times when the bond market and/or the stock market are depressed.
