Travelers Reports Record Quarterly Net and Operating Income per Diluted Share of $2.95, Up 27% and 28%, Respectively, from Prior Year Quarter
Return on Equity and Operating Return on Equity of 16.8% and 17.8%, Respectively
Board of Directors Approves 10% Increase in the Companys Regular Quarterly Dividend per Share to $0.55
· Net and operating income of $1.052 billion, up 17% and 19%, respectively, from prior year quarter.
· Increase primarily attributable to higher underlying underwriting gains and higher investment income.
· Written rate gains exceeded expected loss cost trends in all segments.
· Record quarterly net written premiums of $5.9 billion, up 5% from prior year quarter primarily reflecting the impact of Dominion of Canada, acquired in November 2013.
· Total capital returned to shareholders of $882 million in the quarter, including $705 million in share repurchases.
· Increases in book value per share of 4% to $73.06 and adjusted book value per share of 3% to $68.25 from year-end 2013.
New York, April 22, 2014 The Travelers Companies, Inc. today reported net and operating income of $1.052 billion, or $2.95 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to net income of $896 million, or $2.33 per diluted share, and operating income of $887 million, or $2.31 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. The increases in net and operating income compared to the prior year quarter primarily resulted from higher underlying underwriting gains (i.e., excluding prior year reserve development and catastrophe losses), higher net investment income and higher net favorable prior year reserve development, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. Underlying underwriting gains in the current quarter included a $49 million after-tax ($76 million pre-tax) benefit resulting from a reduction in the estimated liability for state assessments to be paid by the company related to workers compensation premiums.

See Glossary of Financial Measures for definitions and the statistical supplement for additional financial data.
We are very pleased to report $2.95 in net and operating income per diluted share, record quarterly amounts for both of these measures, commented Jay Fishman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Operating income of over $1 billion increased 19% from the prior year quarter, resulting in an operating return on equity of 17.8%, our highest quarterly level since 2009. Underwriting results were excellent, with a combined ratio of 85.7%. Net investment income increased 7% after-tax, benefiting from strong returns in our non-fixed income portfolio. We also returned $882 million in capital to shareholders, including $705 million in share repurchases. The Board of Directors has also announced a 10% increase in our quarterly dividend per share to $0.55. This marks the 10th consecutive year we have increased the quarterly dividend per share, and this increase brings the compound annual growth rate over this time period to 9.6%.
Results in each of our business segments were very strong this quarter. In Business Insurance, profitability improved despite the impact of severe winter weather as underlying underwriting margins continued to improve. We achieved written rate gains in excess of loss trends while increasing retention from already strong levels. Importantly, the written rate gains we achieved this quarter continued to be consistent with our expectations and were the result of our proactive, account by account, class by class pricing actions. In Financial, Professional & International Insurance, operating income growth of 20% and net written premium growth of 47% were the result of the Dominion acquisition as well as strong performance in both our management liability and surety businesses. Personal Insurance also performed very well as underlying underwriting margins expanded in both Auto and Homeowners. Our new auto product, Quantum 2.0, has now been implemented in 28 states and the District of Columbia and is being well received by both customers and agents, as evidenced by the meaningful increase in new business volumes we have experienced in those states where the product has been available for several months.
Our performance this quarter is a very encouraging start to the year. Our very deep agent, broker and customer relationships, highly segmented pricing strategies and expense discipline continued to deliver strong and improving underwriting results. These underwriting results, along with our proven investment philosophy and active capital management strategy, leave us well positioned to deliver on our goal of producing a mid-teens operating return on equity over time.

First Quarter 2014 Results
(All comparisons vs. first quarter 2013, unless noted otherwise)
Net and operating income of $1.052 billion after-tax increased 17% and 19%, respectively, primarily reflecting improved underwriting results driven by higher underlying underwriting gains, higher net favorable prior year reserve development, and higher net investment income. These improvements were partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. The underlying underwriting gains in the current quarter included lower general and administrative expenses due to a $49 million after-tax ($76 million pre-tax) benefit resulting from a reduction in the estimated liability for state assessments to be paid by the company related to workers compensation premiums.
Underwriting results
· The GAAP combined ratio improved 2.8 points to 85.7% due to higher underlying underwriting margins (2.6 points) and higher net favorable prior year reserve development (1.0 points), partially offset by higher catastrophe losses (0.8 points).
· Net favorable prior year reserve development occurred in all segments. Catastrophe losses primarily resulted from winter storms in the United States.
· The underlying GAAP combined ratio improved 2.6 points to 88.2% resulting from lower expense ratios in each segment. The underlying loss ratio was consistent with the prior year quarter as earned rate increases exceeding loss cost trends were offset by higher non-catastrophe weather-related losses.
Net investment income of $582 million after-tax ($736 million pre-tax) increased primarily due to higher private equity and real estate partnership returns, modestly offset by lower reinvestment rates in the fixed income portfolio.
Record net written premiums of $5.873 billion increased 5% primarily due to the inclusion of Dominion within Financial, Professional & International Insurance, as well as slightly higher net written premiums in Business Insurance. These increases were partially offset by lower net written premiums in Personal Insurance.
Shareholders Equity
Shareholders equity of $25.387 billion increased 2% from the end of 2013. Included in shareholders equity were after-tax net unrealized investment gains of $1.674 billion, compared to $1.322 billion at the end of the prior year. The company repurchased 8.5 million shares during the first quarter at a total cost of $705 million, including 7.8 million shares at a total cost of $650 million, under its existing share repurchase authorization, leaving $4.109 billion of capacity under that authorization for future share repurchases. Statutory surplus was $21.440 billion, and the ratio of debt-to-capital (excluding after-tax net unrealized investment gains) was 21.1%, well within its target range of 15% to 25%.
The Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.55 per share. This dividend, which is $0.05 higher than the last regular quarterly dividend, is payable June 30, 2014, to shareholders of record as of the close of business June 10, 2014.

First Quarter 2014 Results
(All comparisons vs. first quarter 2013, unless noted otherwise)
Operating income of $653 million after-tax increased $63 million or 11%, primarily reflecting higher underlying underwriting gains and higher net investment income. These improvements were partially offset by lower net favorable prior year reserve development and higher catastrophe losses. The underlying underwriting gains in the current quarter
included lower general and administrative expenses due to a $49 million after-tax ($76 million pre-tax) benefit resulting from a reduction in the estimated liability for state assessments to be paid by the company related to workers compensation premiums.
Underwriting results
· The GAAP combined ratio improved 1.7 points to 87.7% due to higher underlying underwriting margins (4.0 points), partially offset by higher catastrophes (1.5 points) and lower net favorable prior year reserve development (0.8 points).
· Net favorable prior year reserve development primarily resulted from better than expected loss experience related to the general liability product line, which was concentrated in excess coverages for accident years 2011 and prior, as well as the property product line for accident years 2010 through 2013. These improvements were partially offset by higher than expected loss experience for liability coverages in the commercial multi-peril product line for accident years 2010 through 2013.
· The underlying GAAP combined ratio improved 4.0 points to 88.1%, mostly resulting from a lower expense ratio that included the impact of the reduction in the estimated liability for assessments to be paid by the company related to workers compensation premiums. The underlying loss ratio improved slightly as earned rate increases exceeding loss cost trends were mostly offset by higher non-catastrophe weather-related losses.
Record quarterly Business Insurance net written premiums of $3.304 billion increased 1%, primarily driven by continued meaningful improvement in renewal rate. Net written premiums also benefited from positive exposure change at renewal. Retention rates remained strong and, consistent with the companys pricing strategy, improved from recent quarters, while new business volumes decreased modestly from the prior year quarter.

First Quarter 2014 Results
(All comparisons vs. first quarter 2013, unless noted otherwise)
Operating income of $195 million after-tax increased $32 million or 20% as a result of improved underwriting results, driven by higher underlying underwriting gains in Bond & Financial Products, the inclusion of Dominion and higher net favorable prior year reserve development. Operating income in the current quarter also benefited from higher net investment income driven by the inclusion of Dominion.
Underwriting results
· The GAAP combined ratio increased 1.5 points to 83.8%. While the dollar amount of net favorable prior year reserve development was higher by $11 million pre-tax, the impact on the GAAP combined ratio was less favorable than the prior year quarter by 1.2 points due to an increase in earned premiums primarily due to the inclusion of Dominion.
· Net favorable prior year reserve development primarily resulted from better than expected loss experience in the surety line of business within Bond & Financial Products for accident years 2007 through 2010.
· The underlying GAAP combined ratio improved slightly from 90.1% to 90.0%. An improvement in the underlying loss ratio from earned rate increases exceeding loss cost trends and lower reinsurance costs in Bond & Financial Products was more than offset by the impact of Dominion on the underlying loss ratio. This higher underlying loss ratio was more than offset by a reduction in the expense ratio reflecting the inclusion of Dominion.
Financial, Professional & International Insurance net written premiums of $950 million increased 47% as a result of higher net written premiums in both Bond & Financial Products and International. Bond & Financial Products net written premiums of $482 million increased 22% primarily due to an elimination of a reinsurance program, continued strong retention rates and renewal rate increases in management liability, as well as higher construction surety volume. International net written premiums of $468 million increased 86% due to the inclusion of Dominion.

First Quarter 2014 Results
(All comparisons vs. first quarter 2013, unless noted otherwise)
Operating income of $268 million after-tax increased $71 million or 36%, primarily reflecting improved underwriting results driven by higher net favorable prior year development and higher underlying underwriting gains, as well as higher net investment income.
Underwriting results
· The GAAP combined ratio improved 5.8 points to 83.6% primarily due to higher net favorable prior year reserve development (4.2 points) and higher underlying underwriting margins (1.8 points).
· Net favorable prior year reserve development primarily resulted from better than expected loss experience in Homeowners & Other for non-catastrophe weather-related losses for accident year 2013 and catastrophe losses for accident years 2011 through 2013.
· The underlying GAAP combined ratio improved 1.8 points to 87.4% primarily resulting from a decrease in the expense ratio and earned rate increases exceeding loss cost trends in both Automobile and Homeowners & Other, partially offset by higher non-catastrophe weather-related losses.
Personal Insurance net written premiums of $1.619 billion decreased 4%. Renewal premium change remained positive, but lower than the prior year quarter. Retention rates continued to be strong and generally consistent with recent quarters. New business was meaningfully higher than the prior year quarter due to the companys new auto product, Quantum 2.0, which was introduced in 28 states and the District of Columbia by the end of the first quarter.

looking statements. Words such as may, will, should, likely, anticipates, expects, intends, plans, projects, believes, estimates and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. Specifically, statements about the companys outlook, share repurchase plans, expected margin improvement, potential returns, future pension plan contributions and the potential impact of investment markets and other economic conditions on the companys investment portfolio and underwriting results, among others, are forward looking, and the company may also make forward-looking statements about, among other things:
· its results of operations and financial condition (including, among other things, premium volume, premium rates, net and operating income, investment income and performance, loss costs, return on equity, and expected current returns and combined ratios);
· the sufficiency of the companys asbestos and other reserves;
· the impact of emerging claims issues as well as other insurance and non-insurance litigation;
· the cost and availability of reinsurance coverage;
· catastrophe losses;
· the impact of investment, economic and underwriting market conditions; and
· strategic initiatives, including initiatives, such as in Personal Insurance, to improve profitability and competitiveness.
The company cautions investors that such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the companys control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements.
Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following:
· catastrophe losses could materially and adversely affect the companys results of operations, its financial position and/or liquidity, and could adversely impact the companys ratings, the companys ability to raise capital and the availability and cost of reinsurance;
· during or following a period of financial market disruption or economic downturn, the companys business could be materially and adversely affected;
· if actual claims exceed the companys claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, or if changes in the estimated level of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves are necessary, the companys financial results could be materially and adversely affected;
· the companys investment portfolio may suffer reduced returns or material realized or unrealized losses;
· the companys business could be harmed because of its potential exposure to asbestos and environmental claims and related litigation;
· the company is exposed to, and may face adverse developments involving, mass tort claims such as those relating to exposure to potentially harmful products or substances;
· the effects of emerging claim and coverage issues on the companys business are uncertain;
· the intense competition that the company faces could harm its ability to maintain or increase its business volumes and profitability;
· the company may not be able to collect all amounts due to it from reinsurers and reinsurance coverage may not be available to the company in the future at commercially reasonable rates or at all;
· the company is exposed to credit risk in certain of its business operations;
· within the United States, the companys businesses are heavily regulated by the states in which it conducts business, including licensing and supervision, and changes in regulation may reduce the companys profitability and limit its growth;
· changes in state or federal regulation or enforcement practices could impose significant burdens on the company and otherwise adversely impact the companys results;
· a downgrade in the companys claims-paying and financial strength ratings could adversely impact the companys business volumes, adversely impact the companys ability to access the capital markets and increase the companys borrowing costs;
· the inability of the companys insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to the companys holding company in sufficient amounts would harm the companys ability to meet its obligations, pay future shareholder dividends or make future share repurchases;
· disruptions to the companys relationships with its independent agents and brokers could adversely affect the company;
· the companys efforts to develop new products, such as Quantum 2.0, or expand in targeted markets may not be successful and may create enhanced risks;
· the company may be adversely affected if its pricing and capital models provide materially different indications than actual results;
· the companys business success and profitability depend, in part, on effective information technology systems and on continuing to develop and implement improvements in technology;
· if the company experiences difficulties with technology, data security and/or outsourcing relationships, the companys ability to conduct its business could be negatively impacted;
· the company is subject to a number of risks associated with its business outside the United States;
· new regulations outside of the United States, including in the European Union, could adversely impact the companys results of operations and limit its growth;
· loss of or significant restriction on the use of particular types of underwriting criteria, such as credit scoring, in the pricing and underwriting of the companys products could reduce the companys future profitability;
· acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses may result in operating difficulties and other unintended consequences;
· the company could be adversely affected if its controls to ensure compliance with guidelines, policies and legal and regulatory standards are not effective;
· the companys businesses may be adversely affected if it is unable to hire and retain qualified employees;
· intellectual property is important to the companys business, and the company may be unable to protect and enforce its own intellectual property or the company may be subject to claims for infringing on the intellectual property of others;
· changes to existing accounting standards may adversely impact the companys reported results;
· changes in U.S. tax laws or in the tax laws of other jurisdictions in which the company operates could adversely impact the company; and
· the companys repurchase plans depend on a variety of factors, including the companys financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining capital levels commensurate with the companys desired ratings from independent rating agencies, funding of the companys qualified pension plan, capital requirements of the companys operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions and related financings), market conditions and other factors.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release or as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the information under the captions Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

GLOSSARY OF FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES
The following measures are used by the companys management to evaluate financial performance against historical results and establish targets on a consolidated basis. In some cases, these measures are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the consolidated financial statements or are not required to be disclosed in the notes to financial statements or, in some cases, include or exclude certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures also follow.
In the opinion of the companys management, a discussion of these measures provides investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and other financial statement users with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the companys periodic results of operations and how management evaluates the companys financial performance. Internally, the companys management uses these measures to evaluate performance against historical results, to establish financial targets on a consolidated basis and for other reasons, which are discussed below.
Some of these measures exclude net realized investment gains (losses), net of tax, and/or net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax, which can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends.
Other companies may calculate these measures differently, and, therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by the companys management.
RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME AND CERTAIN OTHER NON-GAAP MEASURES TO NET INCOME
Operating income is net income excluding the after-tax impact of net realized investment gains (losses) and discontinued operations. Management uses operating income to analyze each segments performance and as a tool in making business decisions. Financial statement users also consider operating income when analyzing the results and trends of insurance companies. Operating earnings per share is operating income on a per common share basis.

RECONCILIATION OF PRE-TAX UNDERWRITING GAIN EXCLUDING CERTAIN ITEMS TO NET INCOME
Underwriting gain is net earned premiums and fee income less claims and claim adjustment expenses and insurance-related expenses. In the opinion of the companys management, it is important to measure the profitability of each segment excluding the results of investing activities, which are managed separately from the insurance business. This measure is used to assess each segments business performance and as a tool in making business decisions. Pre-tax underwriting gain, excluding the impact of catastrophes and net favorable prior year loss reserve development, is the underwriting gain adjusted to exclude claims and claim adjustment expenses, reinstatement premiums and assessments related to catastrophes and loss reserve development related to time periods prior to the current year. In the opinion of the companys management, this measure is meaningful to users of the financial statements to understand the companys periodic earnings and the variability of earnings caused by the unpredictable nature (i.e., the timing and amount) of catastrophes and loss reserve development. This measure is also referred to as underlying underwriting margin or underlying underwriting gain.
A catastrophe is a severe loss, resulting from natural and man-made events, including risks such as fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorism and other similar events. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics, and catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or amount. Their effects are included in net and operating income and claims and claim adjustment expense reserves upon occurrence. A catastrophe may result in the payment of reinsurance reinstatement premiums and assessments from various pools. In the opinion of the companys management, a discussion of the impact of catastrophes is meaningful to users of the financial statements to understand the companys periodic earnings and the variability in periodic earnings caused by the unpredictable nature of catastrophes.
Net favorable (unfavorable) prior year 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, which may be related to one or more prior years. In the opinion of the companys management, a discussion of loss reserve development is meaningful to users of the financial statements as it allows them to assess the impact between prior and current year development on incurred claims and claim adjustment expenses, net and operating income (loss), and changes in claims and claim adjustment expense reserve levels from period to period.

GAAP COMBINED RATIO AND ADJUSTMENTS FOR UNDERLYING GAAP COMBINED RATIO
Combined ratio (SAP and GAAP) For SAP, it is the sum of the SAP loss and LAE ratio and the SAP underwriting expense ratio as defined in the statutory financial statements required by insurance regulators. The GAAP combined ratio is the equivalent of, and is calculated in the same manner as, the SAP combined ratio except that the SAP underwriting expense ratio is based on net written premium and the GAAP underwriting expense ratio is based on net earned premiums. The loss and LAE ratio for SAP is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses less certain administrative services fee income to net earned premiums as defined in the statutory financial statements required by insurance regulators. The GAAP ratio is calculated in the same manner as the SAP ratio. The underwriting expense ratio for SAP is the ratio of underwriting expenses incurred (including commissions paid), less certain administrative services fee income and billing and policy fees, to net written premiums as defined in the statutory financial statements required by insurance regulators. For GAAP, it is the ratio of underwriting expenses (including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs), less certain administrative services fee income and billing and policy fees, to net earned premiums.
The GAAP combined ratio, GAAP loss and LAE ratio, and GAAP underwriting expense ratio are used as indicators of the companys underwriting discipline, efficiency in acquiring and servicing its business and overall underwriting profitability. A combined ratio under 100% generally indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% generally indicates an underwriting loss.
Underlying GAAP combined ratio represents the GAAP combined ratio excluding the impact of net prior year reserve development and catastrophes. In the opinion of the companys management, this measure is meaningful to users of the financial statements to understand the companys periodic underwriting profitability and the variability of underwriting profitability caused by the unpredictable nature of catastrophes and loss reserve development.

ADJUSTMENT TO NET WRITTEN PREMIUMS FOR THE IMPACT OF CHANGES IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
Adjusting for the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates allows the effect of foreign exchange rate differences to be isolated in the analysis of changes in various financial statement line items that are translated from a local currency to the companys reporting currency, U.S. dollars. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods as illustrated in the reconciliation below. In the opinion of the companys management, this is useful in an analysis of the results of the International market and the Financial, Professional & International (FP&II) segment.

RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP MEASURES TO BOOK VALUE PER SHARE AND SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Book value per share is total common shareholders equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted book value per share is total common shareholders equity excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized investment gains and losses, divided by the number of common shares outstanding. In the opinion of the companys management, adjusted book value is useful in an analysis of a property casualty companys book value as it removes the effect of changing prices on invested assets (i.e., net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax), which do not have an equivalent impact on unpaid claims and claim adjustment expense reserves. Tangible book value per share is adjusted book value per share excluding the after-tax value of goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the number of common shares outstanding. In the opinion of the companys management, tangible book value per share is useful in an analysis of a property casualty companys book value on a nominal basis as it removes certain effects of purchase accounting (i.e., goodwill and other intangible assets), in addition to the effect of changing prices on invested assets.

RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP MEASURES TO TOTAL CAPITALIZATION
Total capitalization is the sum of total shareholders equity and debt. Debt-to-capital ratio excluding net unrealized gain on investments is the ratio of debt to total capitalization excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized investment gains and losses. In the opinion of the companys management, the debt to capital ratio is useful in an analysis of the companys financial leverage.

OTHER DEFINITIONS
Gross written premiums reflect the direct and assumed contractually determined amounts charged to policyholders for the effective period of the contract based on the terms and conditions of the insurance contract. Net written premiums reflect gross written premiums less premiums ceded to reinsurers. These are GAAP measures.
For the Business Insurance and Financial, Professional and International Insurance segments, retention is the amount of premium available for renewal that was retained, excluding rate and exposure changes. For the Personal Insurance segment, retention is the ratio of the expected number of renewal policies that will be retained throughout the annual policy period to the number of available renewal base policies. For all of the segments, renewal rate change represents the estimated change in average premium on policies that renew, excluding exposure changes. Exposure is the measure of risk used in the pricing of an insurance product. The change in exposure is the amount of change in premium on policies that renew attributable to the change in portfolio risk. Renewal premium change represents the estimated change in average premium on policies that renew, including rate and exposure changes. New business volume is the amount of written premium related to new policyholders and additional products sold to existing policyholders. These are operating statistics, which are subject to change based upon a number of factors, including changes in actuarial estimates. For the Business Insurance segment, retention, renewal premium change and new business volumes exclude National Accounts and Business Insurance-Other.
An insurance companys statutory surplus represents the excess of its assets over its liabilities in accordance with the statutory accounting practices required by state laws and regulations.
Holding company liquidity is the total funds available at the holding company level to fund general corporate purposes, primarily the payment of shareholder dividends and debt service. These funds consist of total cash, short-term invested assets and other readily marketable securities held by the holding company.

The Company entered into these arrangements as part of its strategy to manage the duration of its fixed maturity portfolio. In a changing interest rate environment, the change in the value of the futures contracts can be expected to partially offset changes in the value of the fixed maturity portfolio.

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 incurred but not reported 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 based upon the Companys ongoing review of amounts outstanding, reinsurer solvency, the Companys experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Of the total net recoverables due from reinsurers at March 31, 2014, after deducting mandatory pools and associations and structured settlement balances, $3.5 billion, or 80%, were rated by A.M. Best Company. Of the total rated by A.M. Best Company, 99% were rated A- or better. The remaining 20% of net recoverables from reinsurers were comprised of the following: 6% related to the Companys participation in voluntary pools, 10% related to recoverables from captive insurance companies and 4% were balances from other companies not rated by A.M. Best Company. In addition, $1.3 billion of the net recoverables were collateralized by letters of credit, funds held or trust agreements at March 31, 2014.
(ii) The mandatory pools and associations represent various involuntary assigned risk pools that the Company is required to participate in. These pools principally involve 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 the pool becomes insolvent, the remaining members assume an additional pro rata share of the pools liabilities. Recoverables due from the National Flood Insurance Program are included with mandatory pools.
(iii) Included in reinsurance recoverables are certain amounts related to structured settlements, which comprise annuities purchased from various life insurance companies to settle certain personal physical injury claims, of which workers compensation claims comprise a significant portion. In cases where the Company did not receive a release from the claimant, the amount due from the life insurance company related to the structured settlement is included in the Companys consolidated balance sheet as a liability and as a reinsurance recoverable, as the Company retains the contingent liability to pay the claimant in the event that the life insurance company fails to make the required annuity payments. The Company would be required to make such payments, to the extent the purchased annuities are not covered by state guaranty associations.
The Companys top five groups by structured settlement is as follows:

The following measures are used by the Companys management to evaluate financial performance against historical results and establish targets on a consolidated basis. In some cases, these measures are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the consolidated financial statements or are not required to be disclosed in the notes to financial statements or, in some cases, include or exclude certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
In the opinion of the Companys management, a discussion of these measures provides investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and other financial statement users with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Companys periodic results of operations and how management evaluates the Companys financial performance. Internally, the Companys management uses these measures to evaluate performance against historical results and establish financial targets on a consolidated basis.
Some of these measures exclude net realized investment gains (losses), net of tax, and/or net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax, which can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends.
Other companies may calculate these measures differently, and, therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by the Companys management.
Operating income (loss) is net income (loss) excluding the after-tax impact of net realized investment gains (losses). Management uses operating income (loss) to analyze each segments performance and as a tool in making business decisions. Financial statement users also consider operating income when analyzing the results and trends of insurance companies. Operating earnings (loss) per share is operating income (loss) on a per common share basis.
Average shareholders equity is (a) the sum of total shareholders equity at the beginning and end of each of the quarters for the period presented divided by (b) the number of quarters in the period presented times two. Adjusted shareholders equity is shareholders equity excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax and net realized investment gains (losses), net of tax, for the period presented. Adjusted average shareholders equity is average shareholders equity excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax, for all quarters included in the calculation and, for each quarterly period included in the calculation that quarters net realized investment gains (losses), net of tax.
Return on equity is the ratio of annualized net income (loss) to average shareholders equity for the periods presented. Operating return on equity is the ratio of annualized operating income (loss) to adjusted average shareholders equity for the periods presented. In the opinion of the Companys management, these are important indicators of how well management creates value for its shareholders through its operating activities and its capital management.
Underwriting gain (loss) is net earned premiums and fee income less claims and claim adjustment expenses and insurance-related expenses. In the opinion of the Companys management, it is important to measure the profitability of each segment excluding the results of investing activities, which are managed separately from the insurance business. This measure is used to assess each segments business performance and as a tool in making business decisions.
A catastrophe is a severe loss, resulting from natural and man-made events, including risks such as fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorism and other similar events. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics, and catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or amount. Their effects are included in net and operating income and claims and claim adjustment expense reserves upon occurrence. A catastrophe may result in the payment of reinsurance reinstatement premiums and assessments from various pools. In the opinion of the Companys management, a discussion of the impact of catastrophes is meaningful to users of the financial statements to understand the Companys periodic earnings and the variability in periodic earnings caused by the unpredictable nature of catastrophes.
Net favorable (unfavorable) prior year 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, which may be related to one or more prior years. In the opinion of the Companys management, a discussion of loss reserve development is meaningful to users of the financial statements as it allows them to assess the impact between prior and current year development on incurred claims and claim adjustment expenses, net and operating income (loss), and changes in claims and claim adjustment expense reserve levels from period to period.
Combined ratio (SAP and GAAP) For SAP, it is the sum of the SAP loss and LAE ratio and the SAP underwriting expense ratio as defined in the statutory financial statements required by insurance regulators. The GAAP combined ratio is the equivalent of, and is calculated in the same manner as, the SAP combined ratio except that the SAP underwriting expense ratio is based on net written premium and the GAAP underwriting expense ratio is based on net earned premiums. The Loss and LAE ratio for SAP is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses less certain administrative services fee income to net earned premiums as defined in the statutory financial statements required by insurance regulators. The GAAP ratio is calculated in the same manner as the SAP ratio. The Underwriting expense ratio for SAP is the ratio of underwriting expenses incurred (including commissions paid), less certain administrative services fee income and billing and policy fees, to net written premiums as defined in the statutory financial statements required by insurance regulators. For GAAP, it is the ratio of underwriting expenses (including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs), less certain administrative services fee income and billing and policy fees, to net earned premiums.
The GAAP combined ratio, GAAP Loss and LAE ratio, and GAAP Underwriting expense ratio are used as indicators of the Companys underwriting discipline, efficiency in acquiring and servicing its business and overall underwriting profitability. A combined ratio under 100% generally indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% generally indicates an underwriting loss.
GAAP combined ratio excluding the incremental impact of the direct to consumer initiative is the GAAP combined ratio adjusted to exclude the direct, variable impact of the Companys direct-to-consumer initiative in Personal Insurance. In the opinion of the Companys management, this is useful in an analysis of the profitability of the Companys ongoing agency business.
Gross written premiums reflect the direct and assumed contractually determined amounts charged to policyholders for the effective period of the contract based on the terms and conditions of the insurance contract. Net written premiums reflect gross written premiums less premiums ceded to reinsurers.
Book value per share is total common shareholders equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted book value per share is total common shareholders equity excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized investment gains and losses, divided by the number of common shares outstanding. In the opinion of the Companys management, adjusted book value is useful in an analysis of a property casualty companys book value as it removes the effect of changing prices on invested assets, (i.e., net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax) which do not have an equivalent impact on unpaid claims and claim adjustment expense reserves.
Total capital is the sum of total shareholders equity and debt. Debt-to-capital ratio excluding net unrealized gain (loss) on investments is the ratio of debt to total capital excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized investment gains and losses. In the opinion of the Companys management, the debt to capital ratio is useful in an analysis of the Companys financial leverage.
Statutory basis surplus represents the excess of an insurance companys assets over its liabilities in accordance with statutory accounting practices.
