Board of Directors declares $4.00 per share special dividend, payable November 26, 2024

CINCINNATI – November 5, 2024 – American Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: AFG) today reported 2024 third quarter net earnings of $181 million ($2.16 per share) compared to $177 million ($2.09 per share) in the 2023 third quarter. Net earnings for the 2024 third quarter included net after-tax non-core items that reduced net income by $13 million ($0.15 per share loss). By comparison, net earnings for the 2023 third quarter included net after-tax non-core items that reduced net income by $31 million ($0.36 per share loss). Annualized return on equity was 15.2% and 15.7% for the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is calculated excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Other details may be found in the table on the following page.

Core net operating earnings were $194 million ($2.31 per share) for the 2024 third quarter, compared to $208 million ($2.45 per share) in the 2023 third quarter. The decrease was due primarily to higher year-over-year catastrophe losses related primarily to Hurricane Helene and lower favorable prior year reserve development in the Specialty Property and Casualty (“P&C”) insurance operations, which were partially offset by higher investment income. Additional details for the 2024 and 2023 third quarters may be found in the table below. Core net operating earnings for the third quarters of 2024 and 2023 generated annualized returns on equity of 16.2% and 18.3%, respectively, which is calculated excluding AOCI.

AFG’s book value per share was $56.10 at September 30, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, AFG paid cash dividends of $0.71 per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, AFG’s growth in book value per share plus dividends was 8.7% and 19.3%, respectively.

Book value per share excluding AOCI was $57.71 at September 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, AFG’s growth in book value per share excluding AOCI plus dividends was 4.0% and 13.9%, respectively.

AFG’s net earnings, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), include certain items that may not be indicative of its ongoing core operations. The table below identifies such items and reconciles net earnings to core net operating earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure. AFG believes that its core net operating earnings provides management, financial analysts, ratings agencies, and investors with an understanding of the results from the ongoing operations of the Company by excluding the impact of net realized gains and losses and other items that are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. AFG’s management uses core net operating earnings to evaluate financial performance against historical results because it believes this provides a more comparable measure of its continuing business. Core net operating earnings is also used by AFG’s management as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Footnote (a) is contained in the accompanying Notes to Financial Schedules at the end of this release.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend of $4.00 per share of American Financial Group common stock. The dividend is payable on November 26, 2024, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2024. The aggregate amount of this special dividend will be approximately $335 million. This special dividend is in addition to the Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.80 per share most recently paid on October 25, 2024. With this special dividend, the Company has declared $50.00 per share in special dividends since the beginning of 2021, including $6.50 per share in 2024.

S. Craig Lindner and Carl H. Lindner III, AFG’s Co-Chief Executive Officers, issued this statement: “We are pleased with AFG’s performance during the third quarter. We achieved an annualized core operating return of 16%, with solid underwriting profitability despite elevated catastrophe losses during the quarter. P&C net investment income increased by nearly 15% year over year. These results, coupled with effective capital management, enable us to continue to create value for our shareholders.”

Messrs. Lindner continued, “AFG continued to have significant excess capital at September 30, 2024. Returning capital to shareholders in the form of regular and special cash dividends and through opportunistic share repurchases is an important and effective component of our capital management strategy. In addition, our excess capital will be deployed into AFG’s core businesses as we identify potential for healthy, profitable organic growth, and opportunities to expand our specialty niche businesses through acquisitions and start-ups that meet our target return thresholds.”

Specialty Property and Casualty Insurance Operations

The Specialty P&C insurance operations reported underwriting profit of $117 million in the 2024 third quarter, compared to $143 million in the 2023 third quarter. Catastrophe losses were $90 million in the 2024 third quarter, primarily the result of Hurricane Helene. Catastrophe losses in the comparable 2023 period were $56 million. Based on information available at this time, AFG’s pretax losses from Hurricane Milton are estimated to be approximately $30 million and will be reflected in our fourth quarter results.

The third quarter 2024 combined ratio was 94.3%, 2.1 points higher than the 92.2% reported in the comparable prior year period and included 4.4 points in catastrophe losses. By comparison, catastrophe losses in the third quarter of 2023 added 3.0 points to the combined ratio. Third quarter 2024 results benefitted from 0.8 points of favorable prior year reserve development, compared to 2.3 points in the third quarter of 2023.

Third quarter 2024 gross and net written premiums were up 19% and 14%, respectively, when compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven primarily by additional premiums from the Crop Risk Services acquisition. Gross and net written premiums excluding crop insurance each grew 7% year over year. We continue to achieve year-over-year premium growth as a result of a combination of new business opportunities, increased exposures, and a good renewal rate environment.

Average renewal pricing across our P&C Group, excluding workers’ compensation, was up approximately 8% in the third quarter, and up approximately 7% overall. Third quarter average renewal pricing excluding workers’ compensation was in line with pricing increases achieved in the second quarter, while overall renewal pricing was about 1% higher than increases achieved in the second quarter. We believe we are achieving overall renewal rate increases in excess of prospective loss ratio trends to meet or exceed targeted returns.

The Property and Transportation Group reported 2024 third quarter underwriting profit of $34 million, compared to $42 million in the third quarter of 2023. Higher year-over-year underwriting profit in our agricultural businesses was more than offset by higher catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses in this group were $34 million (3.6 points on the combined ratio) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $14 million (1.7 points) in the comparable 2023 period. Overall, the businesses in the Property and Transportation Group achieved a 96.5% calendar year combined ratio in the third quarter, 1.7 points higher than the comparable period in 2023.

Third quarter 2024 gross and net written premiums in this group were 32% and 26% higher, respectively, than the comparable prior year. The primary drivers of the growth included additional premiums from the Crop Risk Services acquisition and, to a lesser extent, later reporting of crop acreage, which shifted the timing of reporting of some crop premium from second quarter to third quarter of 2024. Excluding crop premiums, third quarter gross and net written premiums each grew 11% year over year in this group, which is attributable primarily to new business opportunities, a favorable rate environment and increased exposures in our commercial auto, property & inland marine and ocean marine businesses. Overall renewal rates in this group increased 7% on average in the third quarter of 2024, about a point lower than the pricing achieved in this group for the second quarter of 2024.

The Specialty Casualty Group reported 2024 third quarter underwriting profit of $76 million, compared to $78 million in the third quarter of 2023. Higher underwriting profit in our targeted markets businesses was more than offset by lower year-over-year underwriting profit in our excess and surplus businesses and, to a lesser extent, our workers’ compensation and executive liability businesses. Underwriting profitability in our workers’ compensation and executive liability businesses continues to be excellent. Catastrophe losses for this group were $16 million (2.3 points on the combined ratio) and $17 million (2.3 points) in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023. The businesses in the Specialty Casualty Group achieved a strong 90.0% calendar year combined ratio overall in the third quarter, 0.6 points higher than the 89.4% achieved in the comparable prior year period.

 

Page 3


Third quarter 2024 gross and net written premiums increased 6% and 4%, respectively, when compared to the same prior year period. The primary drivers of growth were new business opportunities and favorable renewal pricing in several of our targeted markets businesses and our excess liability business. Our mergers & acquisitions business also benefitted from an increase in M&A activity. This growth was tempered by slightly lower workers’ compensation premiums. Excluding workers’ compensation, third quarter gross and net written premiums in this group both grew 8% year over year. Excluding workers’ compensation, renewal pricing for this group was up 10% in the third quarter, and up 8% including workers’ compensation. Both measures improved about 3 points from the renewal pricing in the previous quarter.

The Specialty Financial Group reported an underwriting profit of $22 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $29 million in the third quarter of 2023. Improved results in our lender services business were more than offset by lower profitability in our surety and fidelity businesses. Catastrophe losses for this group were $39 million (14.4 points on the combined ratio) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $22 million (9.3 points) in the prior year quarter. This group reported a combined ratio of 91.9% for the third quarter of 2024, 4.3 points higher than the prior year period.

Third quarter 2024 gross and net written premiums in this group were up 7% and 9%, respectively, when compared to the prior year period, due primarily to growth in our financial institutions business. Renewal pricing in this group was up 6% for the quarter, consistent with the previous quarter.

Carl Lindner III stated, “Although catastrophe losses, specifically Hurricane Helene, impacted our third quarter operating earnings in our P&C Segment, nearly all of our Specialty P&C businesses are meeting or exceeding targeted returns, and we continue to feel confident about the strength of our reserves. Our third quarter results also reflect an element of seasonality, as most of our crop insurance premiums are recorded in AFG’s third quarter. This business is booked at a more conservative combined ratio until the fourth quarter when we have a better view of profitability for the year. Based on what we know at this time, we are optimistic about an above average crop year. I’m pleased that we continued to grow our Specialty P&C businesses through increasing exposures, new business opportunities, and a continued overall favorable pricing environment.”

Further details about AFG’s Specialty P&C operations may be found in the accompanying schedules and in our Quarterly Investor Supplement, which is posted on our website.

A&E Reserves

As in prior years, during the third quarter, AFG conducted an in-depth comprehensive review of its asbestos and environmental (A&E) exposures relating to the run-off operations of its P&C Group. During the 2024 review, no new trends were identified, and recent claims activity was generally consistent with our expectations resulting from our in-depth reviews in the prior three years, and our most recent external study in 2020. As a result, and consistent with the internal review in the third quarter of 2023, the 2024 review resulted in no net change to the P&C Group’s A&E reserves.

At September 30, 2024, the P&C Group’s insurance reserves include A&E reserves of $362 million, net of reinsurance recoverables. At September 30, 2024, the property and casualty insurance segment’s three-year survival ratios were 18.6 times paid losses for asbestos reserves, 25.1 times paid losses for environmental reserves and 21.1 times paid losses for total A&E reserves. These ratios compare favorably with industry data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence as of December 31, 2023, which indicate that industry survival ratios were 8.3 times paid losses for asbestos, 7.1 times paid losses for environmental, and 8.0 times paid losses for total A&E reserves.

 

Page 4


The 2024 in-depth comprehensive review also encompassed reserves for asbestos and environmental exposures of our former railroad and manufacturing operations. As a result of the review, AFG recorded a special non-core A&E charge to increase its liabilities for environmental exposures by $14 million ($11 million after-tax), due primarily to changes in the scope and costs of investigation and an increase in estimated remediation costs at a limited number of sites.

Investments

Net Investment Income – For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, property and casualty net investment income was approximately 15% higher than the comparable 2023 period as a result of the impact of rising interest rates and higher balances of invested assets and higher returns on alternative investments. The annualized return on alternative investments was approximately 5.4% for the 2024 third quarter compared to 4.2% for the prior year quarter. Earnings from alternative investments may vary from quarter to quarter based on the reported results of the underlying investments, and generally are reported on a quarter lag. The average annual return on alternative investments over the five calendar years ended December 31, 2023, was approximately 13%.

Non-Core Net Realized Gains (Losses) – AFG recorded third quarter 2024 net realized losses of $2 million ($0.02 per share loss) after tax, which included $8 million ($0.09 per share) in after-tax net gains to adjust equity securities that the Company continued to own at September 30, 2024, to fair value. AFG recorded net realized losses of $19 million ($0.21 per share loss) in the comparable 2023 period.

After-tax unrealized losses related to fixed maturities were $107 million at September 30, 2024. Our portfolio continues to be high quality, with 94% of our fixed maturity portfolio rated investment grade and 96% of our P&C fixed maturity portfolio with a National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ designation of NAIC 1 or 2, its highest two categories.

More information about the components of our investment portfolio may be found in our Quarterly Investor Supplement, which is posted on our website.
