Exhibit 99.2

 

The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc.

Financial Supplement - First Quarter 2004

 

On April 1, 2004, Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (Travelers) completed its previously announced merger into The St. Paul Companies, Inc. (St. Paul), forming The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. (St. Paul Travelers).  Each share of Travelers class A and class B common stock was exchanged for 0.4334 of a share of St. Paul Travelers common stock.  For accounting purposes, this transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Travelers treated as the accounting acquirer.  Accordingly, the transaction will be accounted for as a purchase business combination, using Travelers historical financial information and applying fair value estimates to the acquired assets, liabilities and commitments of St. Paul as of April 1, 2004.

 

All information included in this Financial Supplement presents the historical, standalone results of Travelers as Travelers is treated as the accounting acquirer.  See the separately provided Financial Supplement for St. Paul which presents the historical, standalone results of St. Paul.

(1)          Reduced for known insolvencies.

 

The gross reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses represent the current and estimated future amounts due from reinsurers on known and unasserted claims.  The ceded reserves are estimated in a manner consistent with the underlying direct and assumed reserves.  Although this total comprises recoverables due from nearly one thousand different reinsurance entities, about half is attributable to 10 reinsurer groups.

 

The net reinsurance recoverables reflect an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance that is recorded on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due, reinsurer solvency, the Company’s experience and current economic conditions.  Of the total net recoverables due from reinsurers at December 31, 2003, $5.3 billion or 81% were rated by A.M. Best and Company.  Of the total rated by A.M. Best and Company, 98% were rated A- or better.  The remaining 19% net recoverables from reinsurers comprised the following:  4% related to Equitas, 5% related to voluntary pools that the Company participates in, 4% related to captive insurance companies and 6% were other companies not rated by A.M. Best and Company.  In addition, $705.5 million of these net recoverables were collateralized by letters of credit, funds held and trust agreements at December 31, 2003.

 

During the first quarter of 2004, Travelers entered into an agreement to settle all current and future reinsurance claims against certain underwriters at Lloyds of London reinsured by Equitas.  Under terms of this settlement, Travelers received $245.0 million, resolving net claim balances of approximately $255.0 million from Equitas.  If federal asbestos reform legislation is enacted by the 108th U.S. Congress, Equitas may elect to recoup $150.0 million from Travelers and, if Equitas makes that election, the reinsurance agreements for asbestos coverage will be reinstated.  As a result, these funds are being held in trust, and the related reinsurance recoverables and reserves will remain on the balance sheet until the contingency is resolved.  There are no contingencies related to the remaining $95.0 million, which has been reflected as a reduction to the reinsurance recoverable as of March 31, 2004.

 

The Company’s top five reinsurers by reinsurance recoverable at December 31, 2003 were as follows:

Our insurance subsidiaries are required to participate in various involuntary assigned risk pools, principally involving workers’ compensation and automobile insurance, which provide various insurance coverages to insureds that otherwise are unable to purchase coverage in the open market.  The costs of these mandatory pools in most states are usually charged back to the participating members in proportion to voluntary writings of related business in that state.  In the event that a member of that pool becomes insolvent, the remaining members assume an additional pro rata share of the pool’s liabilities.

 

Structured settlements are annuities purchased from life insurance companies to settle personal physical injury claims, with workers’ compensation claims comprising a significant proportion.  The Company retains the ultimate liability to the claimant in the event that the assigned company fails to pay, so we reflect the amount as a liability and as a recoverable for GAAP purposes.  Life insurers with current A.M. Best ratings of A- or better represented 97% of the balance at December 31, 2003.

The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc.

Glossary of Financial Measures

 

All information included in this Financial Supplement presents the historical, standalone results of Travelers as Travelers is treated as the accounting acquirer.  See the separately provided Financial Supplement for St. Paul which presents the historical, standalone results of St. Paul.

 

The following measures are used by the Company’s management to evaluate financial performance against historical results and establish targets on a consolidated basis.  These measures are components of net income but, in some cases, are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the consolidated statement of income, and in some cases, require inclusion or exclusion of certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in a GAAP financial measure.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of these measures provides investors with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company’s periodic results of operations.

 

Operating income and operating income per share:  Net income excluding the after-tax impact of net realized investment gains (losses), income (or loss) from discontinued operations, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. 

 

Return on equity is the ratio of net income to average equity.  Operating return on equity is the ratio of operating income to average equity excluding net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, net of tax.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, operating income, operating income per share and operating return on equity are meaningful indicators of underwriting and operating results.  In particular, net realized investment gains or losses are significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends.  In addition, the Company’s management uses operating income, operating income per share and operating return on equity internally to evaluate performance against historical results and established financial targets on a consolidated basis.

 

Underwriting gain or loss:  The profit or loss experienced by a property casualty insurance company after deducting claims and claim adjustment expenses and insurance related expenses from net earned premiums and fee income.  This profit or loss calculation includes reinsurance assumed and ceded but excludes net investment income. 

 

Underwriting gain or loss measures the return on the Company’s in force property casualty contracts and reflects the contribution of underwriting activities to earnings.  Underwriting gain or loss includes the effects of catastrophes and loss reserve development.

 

      A catastrophe is a severe loss, resulting from natural and manmade events, including risks such as fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorism and other similar events.  Each catastrophe has unique characteristics.  Catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or amount in advance, and therefore their effects are not included in earnings or claims and claim adjustment expense reserves prior to occurrence.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of the impact of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability in periodic earnings.

 

      Loss reserve development is the increase or decrease in incurred claims and claim adjustment expenses as a result of the re-estimation of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves at successive valuation dates for a given group of claims.  Loss reserve development may be related to prior year or current year development.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of prior year loss reserve development is useful to investors as it allows them to assess the impact between prior year and current year development on current earnings and changes in claims and claim adjustment expense reserve levels from period to period.

 

The Company uses consolidated underwriting gain or loss before catastrophes and prior year reserve development to represent the contribution to earnings from current period underwriting (i.e., without development on business earned in prior periods) and the highly irregular effects of catastrophes.  A reconciliation of these measures to net income is provided on page 4.
