NOTE 4 The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which were, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 5 6 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the second quarter 1997, operating income, which excludes net realized gains (losses) on security sales and one-time items, was $82.8 million, or $1.10 per share, compared to $78.5 million, or $1.05 per share, last year. The combined ratio was 93.1, compared to 90.4 for the second quarter 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, operating income was $161.5 million, or $2.14 per share, compared to $138.7 million, or $1.83 per share, in 1996. The year-to-date combined ratio was 92.9, compared to 92.0 last year. Net premiums written increased 37% over the second quarter 1996 and 33% over the first six months of 1996, reflecting an increase in unit sales driven by the Company's competitive rates. Premiums earned, which are a function of the amount of premiums written in the current and prior periods, increased 29% for the quarter and 26% for the first six months. Service revenue increased 7% to $11.1 million for the quarter and 13% to $22.4 million for the first six months, driven by new service products started during 1996. Claim costs, which represent actual and estimated future payments to or for our policyholders, as well as loss estimates for future assignments and assessments under state-mandated assigned risk programs, and costs to settle these claims, increased as a percentage of premiums earned to 72% for the quarter, compared to 69% in 1996. Year-to-date claim costs were 71%, compared to 70% last year. Policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses were 21% of premiums earned for the second quarter, compared to 22% in 1996, and 22% for the first six months of both 1997 and 1996. Service expenses decreased 2% for the quarter and increased 7% for the first six months. Second quarter 1996 expenses included costs associated with acquiring a company which provides vehicle inspection services. Recurring investment income (interest and dividends) increased 28% for the quarter and 25% for the first six months, reflecting an increase in the average investment portfolio and the pretax investment yields. The Company had net realized gains (losses) on security sales of $29.6 million and $26.3 million for the quarter and first six months, respectively, compared to $(.2) million and $4.7 million in 1996. On June 30, 1997, the Company's portfolio had $170.8 million in total unrealized gains, compared to $114.1 million at December 31, 1996, primarily reflecting an upward trend in the stock market The Company continues to invest in fixed maturity, equity and short-term securities. The majority of the portfolio was in short-term and intermediate-term, investment-grade fixed-income securities ($3,685.9 million, or 74.2%, at June 30, 1997, and $3,304.5 million, or 81.2%, at June 30, 1996). 6 7 Long-term investment-grade fixed-income securities represented $115.2 million, or 2.2%, and $69.8 million, or 1.7%, of the total investment portfolio at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Non-investment-grade fixed-maturity securities were $174.6 million, or 3.6%, in 1997, and $14.6 million, or .4%, in 1996, and offer the Company high returns and added diversification without a significant adverse effect on the stability and quality of the investment portfolio as a whole. The duration of the fixed-income portfolio was 2.9 years at June 30, 1997, compared to 2.8 years at June 30, 1996. Equity investments are comprised of preferred stocks ($384.0 million, or 7.7%, in 1997 and $298.2 million, or 7.3%, in 1996) and common stocks ($609.8 million, or 12.3%, in 1997 and $381.9 million, or 9.4%, in 1996). The increase in common stocks reflects the Company's objective to increase its position in common stock and similar investments to approximately 15% of the entire portfolio. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage the risks and enhance the yields. These financial instruments had a net market value of $.7 million as of June 30, 1997, compared to $3.4 million as of June 30, 1996. The weighted average annualized fully taxable equivalent book yield of the portfolio was 6.7% and 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. FINANCIAL CONDITION Progressive's insurance operations create liquidity by collecting and investing premiums written from new and renewal business in advance of paying claims. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, operations generated a positive cash flow of $414.9 million. The Company has substantial capital resources and is unaware of any trends, events or circumstances that are reasonably likely to affect its capital resources in a material way.
