THE HANOVER INSURANCE GROUP

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Hanover uses non-GAAP financial measures as important measures of the Company’s operating performance, which we believe provide investors with additional information regarding management’s evaluation of our results of operations and financial performance. The Company's non-GAAP measures include operating income before interest expense and taxes, total operating income after taxes, total operating income after taxes per share, total book value per share, total book value per share excluding net unrealized gains and losses related to investments, net of tax, tangible book value per share and measures of operating income and loss and combined ratios excluding catastrophe losses (catastrophe losses as discussed here and in all other measures include catastrophe loss development) and reserve development.

 

Operating income before interest expense and taxes is net income (loss), excluding interest expense on debt, income taxes and net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, which includes changes in the fair value of equity securities still held because fluctuations in these gains and losses are determined by interest rates, financial markets and the timing of sales. Operating income before interest expense and taxes also excludes net gains and losses on disposals of businesses, discontinued operations, restructuring costs, the cumulative effect of accounting changes and certain other items. Operating income before interest expense and taxes is the sum of the operating income (loss) from: Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, and Other. After-tax operating income EPS (sometimes referred to as “after-tax operating income per share”) is also a non-GAAP measure. It is defined as net income (loss) excluding the after-tax impact of net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), as well as results from discontinued operations and other non-operating items for a period divided by the average number of diluted shares of common stock.  The Hanover believes that measures of operating income before interest expense and taxes provide investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Company’s ongoing businesses because they highlight net income (loss) attributable to the core operations of the business.

 

Book value per share is total shareholders’ equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value per share excluding net unrealized gains and losses related to fixed maturity investments, net of tax, is total shareholders’ equity excluding the after-tax effect of unrealized investment gains and losses on fixed maturities divided by the number of common shares outstanding.  Tangible book value per share is total shareholders' equity, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, divided by the number of common shares outstanding.

 

The Hanover also provides measures of operating income and loss ratios that exclude the effects of catastrophe losses.  A catastrophe is a severe loss, resulting from natural or manmade events, including, among others, hurricanes, tornadoes and other windstorms, earthquakes, hail, severe winter weather, fire, explosions and terrorism. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics. Catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or loss amount in advance. The Hanover believes that providing certain financial metrics and trends excluding the effects of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability of periodic earnings and loss ratios.        

                                       

Prior year reserve development, which can be favorable or unfavorable, represents changes in our estimate of the costs to pay claims from prior years. We believe that a discussion of operating income excluding prior year reserve development is helpful to investors since it provides insight into both our estimate of current year accident results and changes to prior-year reserve estimates.

Operating income before and after interest expense and taxes and measures of operating income that exclude the effects of catastrophe losses or reserve development should not be construed as substitutes for net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to operating income before interest expense and taxes and income (loss) from continuing operations per share to operating income after taxes per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is set forth on page 18 of this document. The presentation of loss ratios calculated excluding the effects of reserve development and/or catastrophe losses should not be construed as a substitute for loss ratios determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

Additional reconciliations are provided in the press release relating to the current period(s) financial results, which is available on the Company's website, www.hanover.com
