Summary of Third Quarter 2023

unless noted otherwise)
- Direct written premiums of $81.2
million, flat to prior year, driven by increases in Non-Standard

severity and the continued impact of higher inflationary-related
loss costs.

Management Commentary
“During the third quarter, we began to benefit
from our significant rate and underwriting actions implemented
earlier this year, with our profitability showing improvement over
the prior year,” said Michael J. Alexander, President, and Chief
Executive Officer. “We certainly benefited from avoiding
catastrophe losses during 2023, which allowed our Home and Farm
segment to return to expected profitability, along with strong
results from our multi-peril crop business. Although we are pleased
with our progress and return to profitability, we continue to be
challenged by the ongoing effects of elevated loss cost inflation
impacting our industry. Our Non-Standard Auto and Commercial
segments both experienced unfavorable prior year reserve
development, driven by elevated loss severity as a result of
inflation and other challenging market conditions. To that end, we
remain focused on pursuing continued aggressive rate and
underwriting actions, along with other strategic measures to
improve our overall risk profile across all lines of business. Our
results continue to be positively impacted by our investment
portfolio, which is producing steadily rising returns, due to
higher reinvestment rates and more favorable market conditions.
Overall, we remain positive regarding the
outlook for our business, and our ability to execute the actions
necessary to provide our shareholders with appropriate returns over
time.”
