NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Travelers Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company). These financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are unaudited.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected.  Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the Company’s 2021 Annual Report).
 
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and claims and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period to conform to the 2022 presentation.

Adoption of Accounting Standards

For information regarding accounting standards that the Company adopted during the periods presented, see note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which, among other changes, created a new corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) based on adjusted financial statement income and imposes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases. The effective date of these provisions is January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect the enactment of the IRA will have an impact on the Company’s financial statements in 2022. While the Company expects to be an applicable corporation subject to the AMT tax beginning in 2023 based on its reported GAAP earnings for the past three years, the Company expects any AMT tax incurred to be treated as a taxable temporary difference and have no direct impact on total income tax expense, subject to any additional guidance or regulations that may be issued. Any excise tax incurred on corporate stock repurchases will generally be recognized as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock acquired and not reported as part of income tax expense.

2.    SEGMENT INFORMATION

Nature of Operations
 
The Company’s results are reported in the following three business segments — Business Insurance, Bond & Specialty Insurance and Personal Insurance. These segments reflect the manner in which the Company’s businesses are currently managed and represent an aggregation of products and services based on the type of customer, how the business is marketed and the manner in which risks are underwritten. For more information regarding the Company’s nature of operations, see the “Nature of Operations” section of note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Unrealized Investment Losses
 
The following tables summarize, for all fixed maturities classified as available for sale in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by the length of time those securities have been continuously in an unrealized loss position.  The fair value amounts reported in the tables are estimates that are prepared using the process described in note 4 herein and in note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.  The Company also relies upon estimates of several factors in its review and evaluation of individual investments, using the process described in note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report to determine whether a credit loss impairment exists.

The following table summarizes, for all fixed maturities reported at fair value for which fair value is less than 80% of amortized cost at September 30, 2022, the gross unrealized investment loss by length of time those securities have continuously been in an unrealized loss position of greater than 20% of amortized cost:

At December 31, 2021, the Company had no fixed maturity investments reported at fair value for which fair value was less than 80% of amortized cost. Recent increases in interest rates resulted in the gross unrealized investment losses above; however, since the Company generally holds its high-quality fixed maturity investments to maturity, the net unrealized loss is generally considered temporary in nature and is not expected to result in significant realized losses.

Total net impairment charges, including credit impairments, reported in net realized investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income, were $14 million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $35 million and $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Credit losses related to the fixed maturity portfolio for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 represented less than 1% of the fixed maturity portfolio on a pre-tax basis and less than 1% of shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis.

Other Investments

Included in other investments are private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and typically report their financial statement information to the Company one month to three months following the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, net investment income from these other investments is generally reflected in the Company's financial statements on a quarter lag basis.
 
4.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance.  The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available.  The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable.  In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions.  The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is reported is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.  The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
 
•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 - Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable.  The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.

4.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, Continued
Valuation of Investments Reported at Fair Value in Financial Statements
 
The Company utilized a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for approximately 99% of its fixed maturities at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
 
While the vast majority of the Company’s fixed maturities are included in Level 2, the Company holds a number of municipal bonds and corporate bonds which are not valued by the pricing service and estimates the fair value of these bonds using either another internal pricing matrix, a present value income approach, or a broker quote (collectively, the other methodologies). The other methodologies include some unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation.  Due to the limited amount of observable market information available in the estimation of fair value, the Company includes the fair value estimates for bonds that are valued using the other methodologies in Level 3. 

For certain investments in non-public common and preferred equity securities, the fair value estimate is determined either internally or by an external fund manager based on the impact of recent observable transactions on the investment, recent filings, operating results, balance sheet stability, growth and other business and market sector fundamentals. Due to the significant unobservable inputs in these valuations, the Company included the fair value estimate of $346 million and $343 million for these investments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in the amounts disclosed in Level 3.

For more information regarding the valuation of the Company’s fixed maturities, equity securities and other investments, see note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

 _________________________________________________________
(1)Contract-based intangible assets subject to amortization are comprised of fair value adjustments on claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, reinsurance recoverables and other contract-related intangible assets. Fair value adjustments recorded in connection with insurance acquisitions were based on management’s estimate of nominal claims and claim adjustment expense reserves and reinsurance recoverables. The method used calculated a risk adjustment to a risk-free discounted reserve that would, if reserves ran off as expected, produce results that yielded the assumed cost-of-capital on the capital supporting the loss reserves.  The fair value adjustments are reported as other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheet, and the amounts measured in accordance with the acquirer’s accounting policies for insurance contracts have been reported as part of the claims and claim adjustment expense reserves and reinsurance recoverables. The intangible assets are being recognized into income over the expected payment pattern. Because the time value of money and the risk adjustment (cost of capital) components of the intangible assets run off at different rates, the amount recognized in income may be a net benefit in some periods and a net expense in other periods.

Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 totaled $171 million, primarily driven by better than expected loss experience in the domestic operations' fidelity and surety product lines for recent accident years. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2021 totaled $81 million, primarily driven by better than expected loss experience in the domestic operations' fidelity and surety product lines for recent accident years, partially offset by higher than expected loss experience in the general liability product line for management liability coverages for multiple accident years.

Personal Insurance.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarter of 2022 totaled $18 million. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $30 million, primarily driven by better than expected loss experience in domestic operations in the homeowners and other product line for recent accident years.

Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 totaled $39 million. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2021 totaled $263 million, primarily driven by better than expected loss experience in the domestic operations in both the homeowners and other and automobile product lines for recent accident years.

9.     DEBT
 
Credit Agreement. On June 15, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, replacing its five-year $1.0 billion credit agreement that was due to expire on June 4, 2023. Pursuant to the credit agreement covenants, the Company must maintain a minimum consolidated net worth, defined as shareholders’ equity determined in accordance with GAAP (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) plus (a) trust preferred securities (not to exceed 15% of total capital) and (b) mandatorily convertible securities (combined with trust preferred securities, not to exceed 25% of total capital), less goodwill and other intangible assets. That threshold is fixed during the term of the credit agreement at an amount equal to $13.9 billion (57.5% of the Company's net worth as defined above at March 31, 2022). In addition, the credit agreement contains other customary restrictive covenants as well as certain customary events of default, including with respect to a change in control, which would occur upon the acquisition of 35% or more of the Company’s voting stock or certain changes in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors. At September 30, 2022,
26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited), Continued
9.     DEBT, Continued
the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Generally, the cost of borrowing under this agreement will range from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 85 basis points (including a credit spread adjustment) to SOFR plus 147.5 basis points (including a credit spread adjustment), depending on the Company’s credit ratings. At September 30, 2022, that cost would have been SOFR plus 110 basis points (including a credit spread adjustment), had there been any amounts outstanding under the credit agreement.
10.     COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 3.1 million and 8.9 million common shares, respectively, under its share repurchase authorizations for total cost of $500 million and $1.50 billion, respectively. The average cost per share repurchased was $163.63 and $169.33, respectively.  In addition, the Company acquired 4,508 shares and 0.4 million common shares for a total cost of approximately $715,000 and $60 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, that were not part of its publicly announced share repurchase authorizations.  These shares consisted of shares retained to cover payroll withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock unit awards and performance share awards, and shares used by employees to cover the price of certain stock options that were exercised. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $2.51 billion of capacity remaining under its share repurchase authorizations.

14.    LEASES
The Company enters into lease agreements for real estate that is primarily used for office space in the ordinary course of business. These leases are accounted for as operating leases, whereby lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and a right-of-use asset and lease liability is recognized as part of other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

Most leases include an option to extend or renew the lease term. The exercise of the renewal option is at the Company's discretion. The operating lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising those options. The Company, in determining the present value of lease payments, utilizes either the rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable, or the Company’s incremental secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the underlying lease.

Lease expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Additional information regarding the Company’s real estate operating leases is as follows:

Asbestos and Environmental Claims and Litigation
 
In the ordinary course of its insurance business, the Company has received and continues to receive claims for insurance arising under policies issued by the Company asserting alleged injuries and damages from asbestos- and environmental-related exposures that are the subject of related coverage litigation. The Company is defending asbestos- and environmental-related litigation vigorously and believes that it has meritorious defenses; however, the outcomes of these disputes are uncertain. In this regard, the Company employs dedicated specialists and comprehensive resolution strategies to manage asbestos and environmental loss exposure, including settling litigation under appropriate circumstances. Currently, it is not possible to predict legal outcomes and their impact on future loss development for claims and litigation relating to asbestos and environmental claims. Any such development could be affected by future court decisions and interpretations, as well as future changes, if any, in applicable legislation. Because of these uncertainties, additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the Company’s current insurance reserves. In addition, the Company’s estimate of ultimate claims and claim adjustment expenses may change. These additional liabilities or changes in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company’s results of operations in future periods.
 
Other Proceedings Not Arising Under Insurance Contracts or Reinsurance Agreements
 
The Company is involved in other lawsuits, including lawsuits alleging extra-contractual damages relating to insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements, that do not arise under insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements. The legal costs associated with such lawsuits are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred. Based upon currently available information, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that any such lawsuit or related lawsuits would be material to the Company’s results of operations or would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity.

Other Commitments and Guarantees
 
Commitments
 
Investment Commitments — The Company has unfunded commitments to private equity limited partnerships, real estate partnerships and others.  These commitments totaled $1.88 billion and $1.70 billion at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
 
Guarantees
 
The maximum amount of the Company’s contingent obligation for indemnifications related to the sale of businesses that are quantifiable was $351 million at September 30, 2022.
 
The maximum amount of the Company’s obligation related to the guarantee of certain insurance policy obligations of a former insurance subsidiary was $480 million at September 30, 2022, all of which is indemnified by a third party.  For more information regarding Company guarantees, see note 17 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

The following discussions of the Company’s net income and segment income (loss) are presented on an after-tax basis.  Discussions of the components of net income and segment income (loss) are presented on a pre-tax basis, unless otherwise noted.  Discussions of net income per common share are presented on a diluted basis.
 
Overview
Diluted net income per share of $1.89 in the third quarter of 2022 decreased by 28% from diluted net income per share of $2.62 in the same period of 2021.  Net income of $454 million in the third quarter of 2022 decreased by 31% from net income of $662 million in the same period of 2021.  The lower rate of decrease in diluted net income per share reflected the impact of share repurchases in recent periods. The decrease in income before income taxes in the third quarter of 2022 primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) lower net investment income, (ii) net realized investment losses compared to net realized investment gains in the third quarter of 2021 and (iii) lower underwriting margins excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development ("underlying underwriting margins"), partially offset by (iv) net favorable prior year reserve development compared to net unfavorable prior year reserve development in the same period of 2021. Catastrophe losses in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 were $512 million and $501 million, respectively. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarter of 2022 was $20 million. Net unfavorable prior year reserve development in the third quarter of 2021 was $56 million. The lower underlying underwriting margins in the third quarter of 2022 were driven by Personal Insurance, partially offset by Bond & Specialty Insurance and Business Insurance. Underlying underwriting margins in the third quarter of 2021 included a net favorable impact from COVID-19 and related economic conditions. Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2022 was lower than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the decrease in income before income taxes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued

Diluted net income per share of $8.34 in the first nine months of 2022 decreased by 9% from diluted net income per share of $9.16 in the same period of 2021.  Net income of $2.02 billion in the first nine months of 2022 decreased by 13% from net income of $2.33 billion in the same period of 2021.  The lower rate of decrease in diluted net income per share reflected the impact of share repurchases in recent periods. The decrease in income before income taxes primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) lower net investment income, (ii) net realized investment losses compared to net realized investment gains in the same period of 2021 and (iii) lower underlying underwriting margins, partially offset by (iv) lower catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $1.42 billion and $1.81 billion, respectively. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was $464 million and $443 million, respectively. The lower underlying underwriting margins in the first nine months of 2022 were driven by Personal Insurance, partially offset by Business Insurance and Bond & Specialty Insurance. Underlying underwriting margins in the first nine months of 2021 reflected a net favorable impact from COVID-19 and related economic conditions. Income tax expense in the first nine months of 2022 was lower than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting a $47 million reduction in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the resolution of prior year tax matters and the impact of the decrease in income before income taxes.

The Company has insurance operations in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and throughout other parts of the world as a corporate member of Lloyd’s, as well as in Brazil and Colombia through joint ventures.  Because these operations are conducted in local currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, changes in foreign currency exchange rates impacted reported line items in the statement of income by insignificant amounts.  The impact of these changes was not material to the Company’s net income or segment income (loss) for the periods reported.
 
Revenues
 
Earned Premiums
Earned premiums in the third quarter of 2022 were $8.62 billion, $786 million or 10% higher than in the same period of 2021.  Earned premiums in the first nine months of 2022 were $24.95 billion, $2.12 billion or 9% higher than in the same period of 2021. In Business Insurance, earned premiums in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 increased by 10% and 9%, respectively, over the same periods of 2021.  Earned premiums in Business Insurance in both periods of 2021 were negatively impacted by lower net written premiums in the preceding twelve months due to a modest reduction in exposures and a decrease in new business volume, in each case impacted by COVID-19 and related economic conditions. In Bond & Specialty Insurance, earned premiums in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 increased by 9% and 10%, respectively, over the same periods of 2021.  In Personal Insurance, earned premiums in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 increased by 11% and 10%, respectively, over the same periods of 2021.  Earned premiums in Bond & Specialty Insurance and Personal Insurance in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 were not materially impacted by COVID-19 and related economic conditions. Factors contributing to the changes in earned premiums in each segment are discussed in more detail in the segment discussions that follow.

$534 million and $1.55 billion, respectively, $37 million and $70 million higher, respectively, than in the same periods of 2021. The increase in the third quarter of 2022 primarily resulted from a higher average level of fixed maturity investments and higher long-term average yields. The increase in the first nine months of 2022 primarily resulted from a higher average level of fixed maturity investments. Net investment income from short-term securities in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was $23 million and $34 million, respectively, $21 million and $28 million higher, respectively, than in the same periods of 2021. The increases in both periods of 2022 primarily resulted from higher short-term average yields, partially offset by a lower level of short-term investments. The Company's remaining investment portfolios had net investment income of $46 million and $385 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, $235 million and $449 million lower, respectively, than in the same periods of 2021. The decline in net investment income from these portfolios in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared with the same periods of 2021 primarily reflected the impact of lower returns from private equity partnerships as compared to very strong returns in the same periods of 2021. Included in other investments are private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and typically report their financial statement information to the Company one month to three months following the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, net investment income from these other investments is generally reflected in the Company's financial statements on a quarter lag basis.

Fee Income
Fee income in the third quarter of 2022 was $104 million, $7 million higher than in the same period of 2021. Fee income in the first nine months of 2022 was $307 million, $5 million higher than in the same period of 2021. The National Accounts market in Business Insurance is the primary source of the Company’s fee-based business and is discussed in the Business Insurance segment discussion that follows.
Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses)
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s net realized investment gains (losses).

Net realized investment losses on equity securities still held of $25 million and $110 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, were driven by the impact of changes in fair value attributable to unfavorable equity markets. Net realized investment gains (losses) on equity securities still held were $(6) million and $45 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively. Net realized investment gains in the first nine months of 2021 were driven by the impact of changes in fair value attributable to favorable equity markets.

Other Revenues
Other revenues in the third quarter of 2022 were $84 million, $16 million lower than in the same period of 2021. Other revenues in the first nine months of 2022 of $269 million were comparable with the same period of 2021. Other revenues include revenues from Simply Business, installment premium charges and other policyholder service charges.

Claims and Expenses

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses
Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the third quarter of 2022 were $6.09 billion, $624 million or 11% higher than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) higher business volumes and (ii) loss cost trends, including elevated severity in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines in Personal Insurance, partially offset by (iii) net favorable prior year reserve development compared to net unfavorable prior year reserve development in the same period of 2021, (iv) lower non-catastrophe property losses in the prior year quarter in Business Insurance and (v) the favorable re-estimation of losses incurred for management liability coverages in the first six months of 2022 in Bond & Specialty Insurance. Catastrophe losses in the third quarter of 2022 primarily resulted from Hurricanes Ian and Fiona, as well as severe storms in several regions of the United States. Catastrophe losses in the third quarter of 2021 primarily resulted from Hurricane Ida and severe storms in several regions of the United States. The impacts of COVID-19 and related economic conditions on claims and claim adjustment expenses in the third quarter of 2021 are discussed in more detail in the segment discussions that follow. Catastrophe losses and non-catastrophe weather-related losses in the third quarter of 2021 were reduced by recoveries under the Company's 2021 Underlying Property Aggregate Catastrophe Excess-of-Loss Reinsurance Treaty.

Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the first nine months of 2022 were $16.93 billion, $1.45 billion or 9% higher than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) higher business volumes, (ii) loss cost trends, including elevated severity in the current year in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines in Personal Insurance, (iii) higher non-catastrophe property losses in Business Insurance and (iv) a comparison to a low level of loss activity in the prior year period in the automobile product line in Personal Insurance, partially offset by (v) lower catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2022 included the third quarter events described above, as well as severe wind and hail storms in several regions of the United States in the first six months of 2022. Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2021 included the third quarter events described above, as well as winter storms and severe wind and hail storms in several regions of the United States in the first six months of 2021. The impacts of COVID-19 and related economic conditions on claims and claim adjustment expenses in the first nine months of 2021 are discussed in more detail in the segment discussions that follow. Catastrophe losses and non-catastrophe weather-related losses in the first nine months of 2021 were reduced by recoveries under the Company's 2021 Underlying Property Aggregate Catastrophe Excess-of-Loss Reinsurance Treaty.

Factors contributing to net prior year reserve development during the third quarters and first nine months of 2022 and 2021 are discussed in more detail in note 7 of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Significant Catastrophe Losses
The following table presents the amount of losses recorded by the Company for significant catastrophes that occurred in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the amount of net unfavorable (favorable) prior year reserve development recognized in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 for significant catastrophes that occurred in 2021 and 2020, and the estimate of ultimate losses for those catastrophes at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For purposes of the table, a significant catastrophe is an event for which the Company estimates its ultimate losses will be $100 million or more after reinsurance and before taxes. The Company's threshold for disclosing catastrophes is primarily determined at the reportable segment level and for 2022 ranged from $20 million to $30 million of losses before reinsurance and taxes. For the Company’s definition of a catastrophe, refer to “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Consolidated Overview” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs in the third quarter of 2022 was $1.41 billion, $125 million or 10% higher than in the same period of 2021.  Amortization of deferred acquisition costs in the first nine months of 2022 was $4.08 billion, $339 million or 9% higher than in the same period of 2021. The increases in both periods of 2022 were generally consistent with the increases in earned premiums. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs is discussed in more detail in the segment discussions that follow.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2022 were $1.19 billion, $6 million or 1% higher than in the same period of 2021. General and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2022 were $3.61 billion, $83 million or 2% higher than in the same period of 2021. The increases in both periods of 2022 primarily reflected the impact of costs associated with higher business volumes. General and administrative expenses are discussed in more detail in the segment discussions that follow.

Interest Expense
Interest expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was $88 million and $263 million, respectively, compared with $87 million and $252 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2021.
 
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2022 was $74 million, $50 million or 40% lower than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the $258 million decrease in income before income taxes in the third quarter of 2022. Income tax expense in the first nine months of 2022 was $344 million, $135 million or 28% lower than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the $441 million decrease in income before income taxes in the first nine months of 2022 and the $47 million reduction in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the resolution of prior year tax matters.
 
The Company’s effective tax rate was 14% and 16% in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The Company's effective tax rate was 15% and 17% in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory rate of 21% in all periods, primarily due to the impact of tax-exempt investment income on the calculation of the Company’s income tax provision. In addition, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2022 was reduced by the impact of the resolution of prior year tax matters discussed above.

Combined Ratio

The combined ratio of 98.2% in the third quarter of 2022 was 0.4 points lower than the combined ratio of 98.6% in the same period of 2021.  The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 70.1% in the third quarter of 2022 was 0.9 points higher than the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 69.2% in the same period of 2021.  The underwriting expense ratio of 28.1% for the third quarter of 2022 was 1.3 points lower than the underwriting expense ratio of 29.4% in the same period of 2021. 

Catastrophe losses in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 accounted for 5.9 points and 6.4 points, respectively, of the combined ratio. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarter of 2022 provided 0.2 points of benefit to the combined ratio. Net unfavorable prior year reserve development in the third quarter of 2021 accounted for 0.8 points of the combined ratio. The combined ratio excluding prior year reserve development and catastrophe losses (“underlying combined ratio”) in the third quarter of 2022 was 1.1 points higher than the 2021 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) elevated severity in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines in Personal Insurance and (ii) a lower level of property losses in the prior year quarter in Business Insurance and (iii) a favorable impact associated with the pandemic in the prior year quarter, partially offset by (iv) the benefit of earned pricing in Business Insurance and Bond & Specialty Insurance, (v) the favorable re-estimation of losses incurred for management liability coverages in the first six months of 2022 in Bond & Specialty Insurance and (vi) a lower expense ratio.

The combined ratio of 96.0% in the first nine months of 2022 was 0.8 points lower than the combined ratio of 96.8% in the same period of 2021. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 67.3% for the first nine months of 2022 was 0.1 points higher than the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 67.2% in the same period of 2021.  The underwriting expense ratio of 28.7% for the first nine months of 2022 was 0.9 points lower than the underwriting expense ratio of 29.6% in the same period of 2021.

Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 accounted for 5.7 points and 7.9 points, respectively, of the combined ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 each provided 1.9

points of benefit to the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio in the first nine months of 2022 was 1.4 points higher than the 2021 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) elevated severity in the current year in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines in Personal Insurance, (ii) a comparison to a low level of loss activity in the prior year period in the automobile product line in Personal Insurance and (iii) higher property losses in Business Insurance, partially offset by (iv) the benefit of earned pricing in Business Insurance and Bond & Specialty Insurance and (v) a lower expense ratio.

The combined ratio continues to be impacted by the tort environment, including more aggressive attorney involvement in insurance claims.

Overview
Segment income in the third quarter of 2022 was $471 million, $87 million or 16% lower than segment income of $558 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease in segment income before income taxes primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) lower net investment income and (ii) higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by (iii) higher underlying underwriting margins and (iv) lower net unfavorable prior year reserve development. Catastrophe losses in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 were $216 million and $181 million, respectively. Net unfavorable prior year reserve development in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 was $61 million and $108 million, respectively. The higher underlying underwriting margins primarily reflected the impacts of (i) higher business volumes and (ii) the benefit of earned pricing, partially offset by (iii) a low level of property losses in the prior year quarter and (iv) the favorable impact associated with the pandemic in the prior year quarter. Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2022 was lower than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the decrease in segment income before income taxes.

Segment income in the first nine months of 2022 was $1.81 billion, $288 million or 19% higher than segment income of $1.52 billion in the same period of 2021. The increase in segment income before income taxes primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) lower catastrophe losses, (ii) higher underlying underwriting margins and (iii) higher net favorable prior year reserve development, partially offset by (iv) lower net investment income. Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $529 million and $836 million, respectively. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was $254 million and $99 million, respectively. The higher underlying underwriting margins primarily reflected the impacts of (i) higher business volumes and (ii) the benefit of earned pricing, partially offset by (iii) higher property losses. Income tax expense in the first nine months of 2022 was higher than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the increase in income before income taxes.

Revenues
 
Earned Premiums
Earned premiums in the third quarter of 2022 were $4.35 billion, $383 million or 10% higher than in the same period of 2021. Earned premiums in the first nine months of 2022 were $12.64 billion, $993 million or 9% higher than in the same period of 2021. The increases in both periods of 2022 primarily reflected the increase in net written premiums over the preceding twelve months. Earned premiums in both periods of 2021 were negatively impacted by lower net written premiums in the preceding twelve months due to a modest reduction in exposures and a decrease in new business volume, in each case driven by the impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income in the third quarter of 2022 was $426 million, $149 million or 26% lower than in the same period of 2021.  Net investment income in the first nine months of 2022 was $1.42 billion, $298 million or 17% lower than in the same period of 2021. Refer to the “Revenues—Net Investment Income” section of the “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion herein for a description of the factors contributing to the decreases in the Company’s consolidated net investment income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared with the same periods of 2021. In addition, refer to note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report for a discussion of the Company’s net investment income allocation methodology.
 
Fee Income
National Accounts is the primary source of fee income due to revenue from its large deductible policies and service businesses, which include risk management, claims administration, loss control and risk management information services provided to third parties, as well as policy issuance and claims management services to workers' compensation residual market pools.  Fee income in the third quarter of 2022 was $96 million, $6 million or 7% higher than in the same period of 2021. Fee income in the first nine months of 2022 was $285 million, $3 million or 1% higher than in the same period of 2021. The increases in both periods of 2022 primarily reflected higher serviced premium volume from the workers' compensation residual market pool. Fee income in the first nine months of 2022 was also impacted by lower claim volume under administration associated with large deductible policies.

Other Revenues
Other revenues in the third quarter of 2022 were $56 million, $13 million lower than in the same period of 2021. Other revenues in the first nine months of 2022 were $194 million, $15 million higher than in the same period of 2021. The increase in the first nine months of 2022 primarily reflected the receipt of a surplus distribution from a state workers’ compensation reinsurance fund. Other revenues also included revenues from Simply Business, installment premium charges and other policyholder service charges. 
 
Claims and Expenses
 
Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses
Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the third quarter of 2022 were $2.96 billion, $256 million or 9% higher than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) higher business volumes, (ii) loss cost trends, (iii) a low level of non-catastrophe property losses in the prior year quarter and (iv) higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by (v) lower net unfavorable prior year reserve development. Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the third quarter of 2021 included favorable loss activity related to the impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions. Catastrophe losses and non-catastrophe weather-related losses in the third quarter of 2021 were reduced by recoveries under the Company's 2021 Underlying Property Aggregate Catastrophe Excess-of-Loss Reinsurance Treaty.

Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the first nine months of 2022 were $8.17 billion, $141 million or 2% higher than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) higher non-catastrophe property losses, (ii) loss cost trends and (iii) higher business volumes, partially offset by (iv) lower catastrophe losses and (v) higher net favorable prior year reserve development. Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the first nine months of 2021 included favorable loss activity related to the impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions. Catastrophe losses and non-catastrophe weather-related losses in the first nine months of 2021 were reduced by recoveries under the Company's 2021 Underlying Property Aggregate Catastrophe Excess-of-Loss Reinsurance Treaty.

Factors contributing to net prior year reserve development during the third quarters and first nine months of 2022 and 2021 are discussed in more detail in note 7 of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Overview
Segment income in the third quarter of 2022 was $242 million, $68 million or 39% higher than segment income of $174 million in the same period of 2021. The increase in segment income before income taxes primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) higher underlying underwriting margins and (ii) higher net favorable prior year reserve development. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 was $63 million and $22 million, respectively. Catastrophe losses in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 were $11 million and $3 million, respectively. The higher underlying underwriting margins primarily reflected the impacts of (i) higher business volumes, (ii) the benefit of earned pricing and (iii) the favorable re-estimation of losses incurred for management liability coverages in the first six months of 2022, partially offset by (iv) higher general and administrative expenses. Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2022 was higher than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the increase in segment income before income taxes.

Segment income in the first nine months of 2022 was $687 million, $189 million or 38% higher than segment income of $498 million in the same period of 2021. The increase in segment income before income taxes primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) higher underlying underwriting margins and (ii) higher net favorable prior year reserve development. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was $171 million and $81 million, respectively. Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $16 million and $30 million, respectively.  The higher underlying underwriting margins primarily reflected the impacts of (i) higher business volumes and (ii) the benefit of earned pricing, partially offset by (iii) higher general and administrative expenses. Income tax expense in the first nine months of 2022 was higher than in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the increase in segment income before income taxes, partially offset by a $24 million reduction in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the resolution of prior year tax matters.

Overview
Segment loss in the third quarter of 2022 was $111 million, compared with a segment loss of $2 million in the same period of 2021. The increase in segment loss before income taxes primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) lower underlying underwriting margins and (ii) lower net investment income, partially offset by (iii) lower catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 were $285 million and $317 million, respectively. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 was $18 million and $30 million, respectively. The lower underlying underwriting margins primarily reflected the impacts of (i) elevated severity in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines, partially offset by (ii) higher business volumes. The income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2022 was higher than the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the increase in segment loss before income taxes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued

Segment loss in the first nine months of 2022 was $79 million, compared with segment income of $433 million in the same period of 2021. The segment loss before income taxes primarily reflected the pre-tax impacts of (i) lower underlying underwriting margins, (ii) lower net favorable prior year reserve development and (iii) lower net investment income, partially offset by (iv) lower catastrophe losses. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was $39 million and $263 million, respectively.  Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $873 million and $945 million, respectively.  The lower underlying underwriting margins primarily reflected the impacts of (i) elevated severity in the current year in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines and (ii) a comparison to a low level of loss activity in the prior year period in the automobile product line, partially offset by (iii) higher business volumes. The segment recorded an income tax benefit in the first nine months of 2022 compared with income tax expense in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the segment loss before income taxes compared with segment income before income taxes in the same period of 2021 and a $20 million reduction in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the resolution of prior year tax matters.

Revenues
 
Earned Premiums

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs in the third quarter of 2022 was $536 million, $55 million or 11% higher than in the same period of 2021. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs in the first nine months of 2022 was $1.55 billion, $151 million or 11% higher than in the same period of 2021. The increases in both periods of 2022 were generally consistent with the increases in earned premiums.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2022 were $333 million, $27 million or 8% lower than in the same period of 2021. General and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2022 were $1.03 billion, $17 million or 2% lower than in the same period of 2021. The decreases in both periods of 2022 primarily reflected lower contingent commissions, partially offset by the impacts of higher business volumes.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2022 was $36 million, compared with $6 million in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the $139 million increase in segment loss before income taxes. The income tax benefit in the first nine months of 2022 was $66 million, compared with income tax expense of $99 million in the same period of 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of the segment loss before income taxes of $145 million as compared to segment income before income taxes of $532 million in the same period of 2021 and the $20 million reduction in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the resolution of prior year tax matters.

Combined Ratio
 
The combined ratio of 107.2% in the third quarter of 2022 was 2.6 points higher than the combined ratio of 104.6% in the same period of 2021.  The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 82.6% in the third quarter of 2022 was 4.4 points higher than the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 78.2% in the same period of 2021.  The underwriting expense ratio of 24.6% for the third quarter of 2022 was 1.8 points lower than the underwriting expense ratio of 26.4% in the same period of 2021.
 
Catastrophe losses in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 accounted for 8.4 points and 10.4 points, respectively, of the combined ratio. Net favorable prior year reserve development in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 provided 0.5 points and 1.0 points of benefit, respectively, to the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio in the third quarter of 2022 was 4.1 points higher than the 2021 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) elevated severity in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines, partially offset by (ii) a lower expense ratio.

The combined ratio of 104.7% in the first nine months of 2022 was 6.4 points higher than the combined ratio of 98.3% in the same period of 2021. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 79.3% in the first nine months of 2022 was 7.5 points higher than the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 71.8% in the same period of 2021.  The underwriting expense ratio of 25.4% in the first nine months of 2022 was 1.1 points lower than the underwriting expense ratio of 26.5% in the same period of 2021.

Catastrophe losses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 accounted for 8.9 points and 10.6 points, respectively, of the combined ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 provided 0.4 points and 3.0 points of benefit, respectively, to the combined ratio.  The underlying combined ratio in the first nine months of 2022 was 5.5 points higher than the 2021 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) elevated severity in the current year in both the automobile and homeowners and other product lines and (ii) a comparison to a low level of loss activity in the prior year period in the automobile product line, partially offset by (iii) a lower expense ratio.

ASBESTOS CLAIMS AND LITIGATION
 
The Company believes that the property and casualty insurance industry has suffered from court decisions and other trends that have expanded insurance coverage for asbestos claims far beyond the original intent of insurers and policyholders. The Company has received and continues to receive a significant number of asbestos claims. Factors underlying these claim filings include continued intensive advertising by lawyers seeking asbestos claimants and the focus by plaintiffs on defendants, such as manufacturers of talcum powder, who were not traditionally primary targets of asbestos litigation. The focus on these defendants is primarily the result of the number of traditional asbestos defendants who have sought bankruptcy protection in previous years.  The bankruptcy of many traditional defendants has also caused increased settlement demands against those policyholders who are not in bankruptcy but remain in the tort system. Currently, in many jurisdictions, those who allege very serious injury and who can present credible medical evidence of their injuries are receiving priority trial settings in the courts, while those who have not shown any credible disease manifestation are having their hearing dates delayed or placed on an inactive docket. Prioritizing claims involving credible evidence of injuries, along with the focus on defendants who were not traditionally primary targets of asbestos litigation, contributes to the claims and claim adjustment expense payment patterns experienced by the Company. The Company’s asbestos-related claims and claim adjustment expense experience also has been impacted by the unavailability of other insurance sources potentially available to policyholders, whether through exhaustion of policy limits or through the insolvency of other participating insurers.
 
The Company continues to be involved in disputes, including litigation, with a number of policyholders, some of whom are in bankruptcy, over coverage for asbestos-related claims. Many coverage disputes with policyholders are only resolved through settlement agreements. Because many policyholders make exaggerated demands, it is difficult to predict the outcome of settlement negotiations. Settlements involving bankrupt policyholders may include extensive releases which are favorable to the Company, but which could result in settlements for larger amounts than originally anticipated. Although the Company has seen a reduction in the overall risk associated with these disputes, it remains difficult to predict the ultimate cost of these claims. As in the past, the Company will continue to pursue settlement opportunities.

In addition to claims against policyholders, proceedings have been launched directly against insurers, including the Company, by individuals challenging insurers’ conduct with respect to the handling of past asbestos claims and by individuals seeking damages arising from alleged asbestos-related bodily injuries.   It is possible that other direct actions against insurers, including the Company, could be filed in the future.  It is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, including whether the plaintiffs would be able to sustain these actions against insurers based on novel legal theories of liability. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to any such claims and has received favorable rulings in certain jurisdictions.

Because each policyholder presents different liability and coverage issues, the Company generally reviews the exposure presented by each policyholder with open claims at least annually.  Among the factors the Company may consider in the course of this review are: available insurance coverage, including the role of any umbrella or excess insurance the Company has issued to the policyholder; limits and deductibles; an analysis of the policyholder’s potential liability; the jurisdictions involved; past and anticipated future claim activity and loss development on pending claims; past settlement values of similar claims; allocated claim adjustment expense; the potential role of other insurance; the role, if any, of non-asbestos claims or potential non-asbestos claims in any resolution process; and applicable coverage defenses or determinations, if any, including the determination as to whether or not an asbestos claim is a products/completed operation claim subject to an aggregate limit and the available coverage, if any, for that claim.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed its annual in-depth asbestos claim review, including a review of policyholders with open claims and litigation cases for potential product and "non-product" liability. The number of policyholders with open asbestos claims and net asbestos payments were relatively flat compared to 2021. Payments on behalf of these policyholders continue to be influenced by an increase in severity for certain policyholders and a high level of litigation activity in a limited number of jurisdictions where individuals alleging serious asbestos-related injury, primarily mesothelioma, continue to target defendants who were not traditionally primary targets of asbestos litigation.

The Company’s quarterly asbestos reserve reviews include an analysis of exposure and claim payment patterns by policyholder, as well as recent settlements, policyholder bankruptcies, judicial rulings and legislative actions.  The Company also analyzes developing payment patterns among policyholders and the assumed reinsurance component of reserves, as well as projected reinsurance billings and recoveries. In addition, the Company reviews its historical gross and net loss and expense paid experience, year-by-year, to assess any emerging trends, fluctuations, or characteristics suggested by the aggregate paid activity. Conventional actuarial methods are not utilized to establish asbestos reserves, and the Company’s evaluations have not resulted in a reliable method to determine a meaningful average asbestos defense or indemnity payment.

The completion of these reviews and analyses in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 resulted in $212 million and $225 million increases, respectively, to the Company’s net asbestos reserves. In both 2022 and 2021, the reserve increases were primarily driven by increases in the Company’s estimate of projected settlement and defense costs related to a broad number of policyholders. The increase in the estimate of projected settlement and defense costs primarily resulted from payment trends that continue to be higher than previously anticipated due to the continued high level of mesothelioma claim filings and the impact of the current litigation environment surrounding those claims discussed above. Over the past decade, the property and casualty insurance industry, including the Company, has experienced net unfavorable prior year reserve development with regard to asbestos reserves, but the Company believes that over that period there has been a reduction in the volatility associated with the Company’s overall asbestos exposure as the overall asbestos environment has evolved from one dominated by exposure to significant litigation risks, particularly coverage disputes relating to policyholders in bankruptcy who were asserting that their claims were not subject to the aggregate limits contained in their policies, to an environment primarily driven by a frequency of litigation related to individuals with mesothelioma. The Company’s overall view of the current underlying asbestos environment is essentially unchanged from recent periods, and there remains a high degree of uncertainty with respect to future exposure to asbestos claims.

Net asbestos paid loss and loss expenses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $156 million and $155 million, respectively. Net asbestos reserves were $1.39 billion and $1.41 billion at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND LITIGATION
 
The Company has received and continues to receive claims from policyholders who allege that they are liable for injury or damage arising out of the alleged storage, emissions or disposal of toxic substances, frequently under policies issued prior to the mid-1980s. These claims are mainly brought pursuant to various state or federal statutes that require a liable party to undertake or pay for environmental remediation. For example, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) enables private parties as well as federal and state governments to take action with respect to releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances. This federal statute permits the recovery of response costs from some liable parties and may require liable parties to undertake their own remedial action. Liability under these statutes may be joint and several with other responsible parties. The Company has also been, and continues to be, involved in litigation involving insurance coverage issues pertaining to environmental claims. The Company believes that some court decisions pertaining to environmental claims have interpreted the insurance coverage to be broader than the original intent of the insurers and policyholders.
 
In establishing environmental reserves, the Company evaluates the exposure presented by each policyholder and the anticipated cost of resolution, if any. In the course of its analysis, the Company generally considers the probable liability, available coverage and relevant judicial interpretations. In addition, the Company considers the many variables presented, such as: the nature of the alleged activities of the policyholder at each site; the number of sites; the total number of potentially responsible parties at each site; the nature of the alleged environmental harm and the corresponding remedy at each site; the nature of government enforcement activities at each site; the ownership and general use of each site; the overall nature of the insurance relationship between the Company and the policyholder, including the role of any umbrella or excess insurance the Company has issued to the policyholder; the involvement of other insurers; the potential for other available coverage, including the number of years of coverage; the role, if any, of non-environmental claims or potential non-environmental claims in any resolution process; and the applicable law in each jurisdiction. The evaluation of the exposure presented by a policyholder can

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued

change as information concerning that policyholder and the many variables presented is developed. Conventional actuarial methods are not used to estimate these reserves.

Over the past several years, the Company has experienced generally favorable trends in the number of new policyholders tendering environmental claims for the first time and in the number of pending declaratory judgment actions relating to environmental matters. These policyholders continue to present smaller exposures, are involved in fewer hazardous waste sites and are lower tier defendants than policyholders presenting such claims in the past. Further, in many instances, clean-up costs have been reduced because regulatory agencies are willing to accept risk-based site analyses and more efficient clean-up technologies. However, the degree to which those favorable trends have continued has been less than anticipated.  In addition, reserve development on existing environmental claims as well as the costs associated with coverage litigation on environmental matters has been greater than anticipated, driven by claims and legal developments in a limited number of jurisdictions. As a result of these factors, the Company increased its net environmental reserves by $12 million and $95 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, and $9 million and $61 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively. Net environmental paid loss and loss expenses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $52 million and $55 million, respectively. Net environmental reserves were $364 million and $313 million at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING ADEQUACY OF ASBESTOS AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES
 
As a result of the processes and procedures discussed above, management believes that the reserves carried for asbestos and environmental claims are appropriately established based upon known facts, current law and management’s judgment. However, the uncertainties surrounding the final resolution of these claims continue, and it is difficult to determine the ultimate exposure for asbestos and environmental claims and related litigation. As a result, these reserves are subject to revision as new information becomes available and as claims develop. The continuing uncertainties include, without limitation:

•the risks and lack of predictability inherent in complex litigation;
•a further increase in the cost to resolve, and/or the number of, asbestos and environmental claims beyond that which is anticipated;
•the emergence of a greater number of asbestos claims than anticipated as a result of extended life expectancies resulting from medical advances and lifestyle improvements;
•the role of any umbrella or excess policies we have issued;
•the resolution or adjudication of disputes concerning coverage for asbestos and environmental claims in a manner inconsistent with our previous assessment of these disputes;
•the number and outcome of direct actions against us;
•future developments pertaining to our ability to recover reinsurance for asbestos and environmental claims;
•any impact on asbestos defendants we insure due to the bankruptcy of other asbestos defendants;
•the unavailability of other insurance sources potentially available to policyholders, whether through exhaustion of policy limits or through the insolvency of other participating insurers; and
•uncertainties arising from the insolvency or bankruptcy of policyholders.

Changes in the legal, regulatory and legislative environment may impact the future resolution of asbestos and environmental claims and result in adverse loss reserve development.  The emergence of a greater number of asbestos or environmental claims beyond that which is anticipated may result in adverse loss reserve development. Changes in applicable legislation and future court and regulatory decisions and interpretations, including the outcome of legal challenges to legislative and/or judicial reforms establishing medical criteria for the pursuit of asbestos claims, could affect the settlement of asbestos and environmental claims.  It is also difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of complex coverage disputes until settlement negotiations near completion and significant legal questions are resolved or, failing settlement, until the dispute is adjudicated. This is particularly the case with policyholders in bankruptcy where negotiations often involve a large number of claimants and other parties and require court approval to be effective. As part of its continuing analysis of asbestos and environmental reserves, the Company continues to study the implications of these and other developments.
Because of the uncertainties set forth above, additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the Company’s current reserves.  In addition, the Company’s estimate of claims and claim adjustment expenses may change.  These additional liabilities or increases in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company’s operating results in future periods.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
 
The Company’s invested assets at September 30, 2022 were $78.11 billion, of which 93% was invested in fixed maturity and short-term investments, 1% in equity securities, 1% in real estate investments and 5% in other investments.  Because the primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to fund future claims payments, the Company employs a thoughtful investment philosophy that focuses on appropriate risk-adjusted returns.  A significant majority of funds available for investment are deployed in a widely diversified portfolio of high quality, liquid, taxable U.S. government, tax-exempt and taxable U.S. municipal and taxable corporate and U.S. agency mortgage-backed bonds.
 
The carrying value of the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio at September 30, 2022 was $68.45 billion.  The Company closely monitors the duration of its fixed maturity investments, and investment purchases and sales are executed with the objective of having adequate funds available to satisfy the Company’s insurance and debt obligations.  The weighted average credit quality of the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio, both including and excluding U.S. Treasury securities, was “Aa2” at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  Below investment grade securities represented 1.3% and 1.4% of the total fixed maturity investment portfolio at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The weighted average effective duration of fixed maturities and short-term securities was 4.8 (5.0 excluding short-term securities) at September 30, 2022 and 4.2 (4.4 excluding short-term securities) at December 31, 2021.

Obligations of U.S. States, Municipalities and Political Subdivisions
 
The Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included $31.13 billion and $36.86 billion, respectively, of securities which are obligations of U.S. states, municipalities and political subdivisions (collectively referred to as the municipal bond portfolio).  The municipal bond portfolio is diversified across the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and includes general obligation and revenue bonds issued by states, cities, counties, school districts and similar issuers.  Included in the municipal bond portfolio at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $3.10 billion and $4.03 billion, respectively, of pre-refunded bonds, which are bonds for which U.S. states or municipalities have established irrevocable trusts, almost exclusively comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government and government agencies and authorities.  These trusts were created to fund the payment of principal and interest due under the bonds.  The irrevocable trusts are verified as to their sufficiency by an independent verification agent of the underwriter, issuer or trustee.  All of the Company’s holdings of securities issued by Puerto Rico and related entities have either been pre-refunded and therefore are defeased by U.S. Treasury securities or have FHA guarantees subject to federal appropriation.
 
The Company bases its investment decision on the underlying credit characteristics of the municipal security. The weighted average credit rating of the municipal bond portfolio was "Aaa/Aa1" at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities, Collateralized Mortgage Obligations and Pass-Through Securities
 
The Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included $1.82 billion of residential mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), all of which are subject to prepayment risk (either shortening or lengthening of duration).  While prepayment risk for securities and its effect on income cannot be fully controlled, particularly when interest rates move dramatically, the Company’s investment strategy generally favors securities that reduce this risk within expected interest rate ranges.  Included in the totals at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $846 million of GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC (excluding FHA project loans) and Canadian government guaranteed residential mortgage-backed pass-through securities classified as available for sale.  Also included in those totals were residential CMOs classified as available for sale with a fair value of $974 million and $971 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Approximately 37% and 47% of the Company’s CMO holdings at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were guaranteed by or fully collateralized by securities issued by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC.  The weighted average credit rating of the $614 million and $511 million of non-guaranteed CMO holdings was "Aaa/Aal" at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The weighted average credit rating of all of the above securities was "Aaa/Aa1" at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  For further discussion regarding the Company’s investments in residential CMOs, see “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Investment Portfolio” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Equity Securities, Real Estate and Short-Term Investments
 
See note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report for further information about these invested asset classes.
 
Other Investments
 
The Company also invests in private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships, and joint ventures.  These asset classes have historically provided a higher return than investments in fixed maturities but are subject to more volatility.  At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s other investments was $4.01 billion and $3.86 billion, respectively.

Investments in private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and typically report their financial statement information to the Company one month to three months following the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, net investment income from these other investments is generally reflected in the Company's financial statements on a quarter lag basis.

CATASTROPHE REINSURANCE COVERAGE

The Company's normal renewals and changes to its catastrophe reinsurance coverage occur in January and July each year. The changes effective in January are discussed in the "Catastrophe Reinsurance" section of "Part I—Item 1—Business" in the Company's 2021 Annual Report, and changes effective in July are discussed in the "Catastrophe Reinsurance Coverage" section of "Part I—Item 2—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

The Company regularly reviews its catastrophe reinsurance coverage and may adjust such coverage in the future.

REINSURANCE RECOVERABLES
 
The Company reinsures a portion of the risks it underwrites in order to control its exposure to losses. For a description of the Company’s reinsurance recoverables, refer to “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Reinsurance Recoverables” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.
 
The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s reinsurance recoverables:
(in millions)September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Gross reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses$3,918 $3,931 
Gross structured settlements2,808 2,900 
Mandatory pools and associations 1,609 1,762 
Gross reinsurance recoverables8,335 8,593 
Allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance(133)(141)
Net reinsurance recoverables$8,202 $8,452 

Net reinsurance recoverables at September 30, 2022 decreased by $250 million from December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting decreases in mandatory pools and associations and structured settlements in the first nine months of 2022.

OUTLOOK
 
The following discussion provides outlook information for certain key drivers of the Company’s results of operations and capital position.

Premiums.  The Company’s earned premiums are a function of net written premium volume.  Net written premiums comprise both renewal business and new business and are recognized as earned premium over the term of the underlying policies. When business renews, the amount of net written premiums associated with that business may increase or decrease (renewal premium change) as a result of increases or decreases in rate and/or insured exposures, which the Company considers as a measure of units of exposure (such as the number and value of vehicles or properties insured).  Net written premiums from both renewal and new business, and therefore earned premiums, are impacted by competitive market conditions as well as general economic
56

THE TRAVELERS COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued

conditions, which, particularly in the case of Business Insurance, affect audit premium adjustments, policy endorsements and mid-term cancellations.  Net written premiums may also be impacted by the structure of reinsurance programs and related costs, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Overall, the Company expects that retention levels (the amount of expiring premium that renews, before the impact of renewal premium changes) will remain strong by historical standards during the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.

Property and casualty insurance market conditions are expected to remain competitive during the remainder of 2022 and into 2023 for new business. In each of the Company’s business segments, new business generally has less of an impact on underwriting profitability than renewal business, given the volume of new business relative to renewal business.  However, in periods of meaningful increases in new business, despite its positive impact on underwriting gains over time, the impact of higher new business levels may negatively impact the combined ratio for a period of time. In periods of meaningful decreases in new business, despite its negative impact on underwriting gains over time, the impact of lower new business levels may positively impact the combined ratio for a period of time.

Underwriting Gain/Loss. The Company’s underwriting gain/loss can be significantly impacted by catastrophe losses and net favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development, as well as underlying underwriting margins. Underlying underwriting margins can be impacted by a number of factors, including variability in non-catastrophe weather, large loss and other loss activity; changes in current period loss estimates resulting from prior period loss development; changes in loss cost trends; changes in business mix; changes in reinsurance coverages and/or costs; premium adjustments; and variability in expenses and assessments.

Catastrophe losses and non-catastrophe weather-related losses are inherently unpredictable from period to period. The Company’s results of operations could be adversely impacted if significant catastrophe and non-catastrophe weather-related losses were to occur.

On average for the ten-year period ended December 31, 2021, the Company experienced approximately 40% of its annual catastrophe losses during the second quarter, primarily arising out of severe wind and hail storms, including tornadoes. Hurricanes, wildfires and winter storms tend to happen at other times of the year and can also have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. Catastrophe losses incurred in a particular quarter in any given year may differ materially from historical experience. In addition, most of the Company's reinsurance programs renew on January 1 or July 1 of each year, and, therefore, any changes to the availability, cost or coverage terms of such programs will be effective after such dates.

Over much of the past decade, the Company’s results have included significant amounts of net favorable prior year reserve development driven by better than expected loss experience. However, given the inherent uncertainty in estimating claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, loss experience could develop such that the Company recognizes in future periods higher or lower levels of favorable prior year reserve development, no favorable prior year reserve development or unfavorable prior year reserve development. In addition, the ongoing review of prior year claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, or other changes in current period circumstances, may result in the Company revising current year loss estimates upward or downward in future periods of the current year.

It is possible that changes in economic conditions, the supply chain, the labor market and geopolitical tensions, as well as steps taken by federal, state and/or local governments and the Federal Reserve, could lead to higher or lower inflation than the Company anticipated, which could in turn lead to an increase or decrease in the Company’s loss costs and the need to strengthen or reduce claims and claim adjustment expense reserves. These impacts of inflation on loss costs and claims and claim adjustment expense reserves could be more pronounced for those lines of business that require a relatively longer period of time to finalize and settle claims for a given accident year and, accordingly, are relatively more inflation sensitive. Labor shortages, higher costs of used vehicles and parts, and increased demand and decreased supply for raw materials are adversely impacting severity in our auto and property businesses and may continue to do so in future quarters. For a further discussion, see “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors—If actual claims exceed our claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, or if changes in the estimated level of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves are necessary, including as a result of, among other things, changes in the legal/tort, regulatory and economic environments in which the Company operates, our financial results could be materially and adversely affected” in the Company's 2021 Annual Report.

Economic conditions and therefore the Company’s results of operations may be impacted by a variety of other factors as well, such as an economic slowdown or recession, financial market volatility, supply chain disruptions, monetary and fiscal policy measures, heightened geopolitical tensions, fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, the political and regulatory environment, changes to the U.S. Federal budget and potential changes in tax laws.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued


Investment Portfolio.  The Company expects to continue to focus its investment strategy on maintaining a high-quality investment portfolio and a relatively short average effective duration.  The weighted average effective duration of fixed maturities and short-term securities was 4.8 (5.0 excluding short-term securities) at September 30, 2022.  From time to time, the Company enters into short positions in U.S. Treasury futures contracts to manage the duration of its fixed maturity portfolio.  At September 30, 2022, the Company had no open U.S. Treasury futures contracts.  The Company regularly evaluates its investment alternatives and mix.  Currently, the majority of the Company’s investments are comprised of a widely diversified portfolio of high-quality, liquid, taxable U.S. government, tax-exempt and taxable U.S. municipal and taxable corporate and U.S. agency mortgage-backed bonds.

The Company also invests much smaller amounts in equity securities, real estate and private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships and joint ventures.  These investment classes have the potential for higher returns but also the potential for greater volatility and higher degrees of risk, including less stable rates of return and less liquidity.

Approximately 23% of the fixed maturity portfolio is expected to mature over the next three years (including the early redemption of bonds, assuming interest rates (including credit spreads) do not rise significantly by applicable call dates). As a result, the overall yield on and composition of its portfolio could be meaningfully impacted by the types of investments available for reinvestment with the proceeds of maturing bonds.

Net investment income is a material contributor to the Company’s results of operations. Based on our current expectations for slightly higher levels of fixed income investments and the impact of expected higher reinvestment yields on fixed income investments, the Company expects that after-tax net investment income from that portfolio will be approximately $500 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the Company also currently expects that after-tax net investment income from that portfolio will be approximately $515 million to $570 million for each quarter of 2023. This expectation could be impacted by the direction of interest rates and disruptions in global financial markets. Included in other investments are private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and typically report their financial statement information to the Company one month to three months following the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, net investment income or loss from these other investments is generally reflected in the Company's financial statements on a quarter lag basis. Net investment income from these other investments was particularly strong during 2021 reflecting strong global financial market performance. Given that particularly strong performance, the challenging equity market in the first nine months of 2022 and the lag in reporting described above, the Company expects that net investment income from these other investments in the fourth quarter of 2022 will be significantly lower than the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company’s net investment income in future periods from its non-fixed income investment portfolio will be impacted, positively or negatively, by the performance of global financial markets.

The Company had net pre-tax realized investment losses of $211 million in the first nine months of 2022. Changes in global financial markets could result in net realized investment gains or losses in the Company’s investment portfolio.

The Company had a net pre-tax unrealized investment loss of $8.02 billion ($6.32 billion after-tax) in its fixed maturity investment portfolio at September 30, 2022, compared to a net pre-tax unrealized investment gain of $3.06 billion ($2.42 billion after-tax) at December 31, 2021.  While the Company does not attempt to predict future interest rate movements, a rising interest rate environment reduces the market value of fixed maturity investments and, therefore, reduces shareholders’ equity, and a declining interest rate environment has the opposite effects. Recent increases in interest rates resulted in the net unrealized investment losses above; however, since the Company generally holds its high-quality fixed maturity investments to maturity, the net unrealized loss is generally considered temporary in nature and is not expected to result in significant realized losses. Given the temporary nature of net unrealized losses combined with the Company’s strong operating cash flows, which include income received on investments, and the proceeds received upon maturity of the investments, the net unrealized investment loss is not expected to meaningfully impact the Company’s assessment of capital adequacy or liquidity. Additionally, disruptions in global financial markets could also impact the market value of the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company's investment portfolio has benefited from certain tax exemptions (primarily those related to interest from municipal bonds) and certain other tax laws, including, but not limited to, those governing dividends-received deductions and tax credits (such as foreign tax credits). Changes in these laws could adversely impact the value of the Company's investment portfolio. See "Our businesses are heavily regulated by the states and countries in which we conduct business, including licensing, market conduct and financial supervision, and changes in regulation, including higher tax rates, may reduce our profitability and limit our growth" included in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Capital Position. The Company believes it has a strong capital position and, as part of its ongoing efforts to create shareholder value, expects to continue to return capital not needed to support its business operations to its shareholders, subject to the considerations described below.  The Company expects that, generally over time, the combination of dividends to common shareholders and common share repurchases will likely not exceed net income.  The Company also expects that to the extent that it continues to grow premium volumes, the level of capital to support the Company's financial strength ratings will also increase, and accordingly, the amount of capital returned to shareholders relative to earnings would be somewhat less than it otherwise would have been absent the growth in premium volumes. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of additional factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining capital levels appropriate for the Company’s business operations, changes in levels of written premiums, funding of the Company’s qualified pension plan, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions and related financings), market conditions, changes in tax laws (including the Inflation Reduction Act) and other factors. For information regarding the Company’s common share repurchases in 2022, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein. S&P has announced that it intends to change its capital adequacy model. While the proposed model has not been finalized, it could increase the level of capital S&P requires for a particular financial strength rating. As part of its capital management strategy, the Company will continue to make its own assessment of the appropriate level of capital to support the Company’s business operations. For a discussion of the risks to the Company's claims-paying and financial strength ratings, see the risk factor entitled “A downgrade in our claims-paying and financial strength ratings could adversely impact our business volumes, adversely impact our ability to access the capital markets and increase our borrowing costs” included in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors" in the Company's 2021 Annual Report.

As a result of the Company’s business outside of the United States, primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom (including Lloyd’s), the Republic of Ireland and in Brazil through a joint venture, the Company’s capital is also subject to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar in comparison to other currencies could result in a reduction in shareholders’ equity, while a weakening of the U.S. dollar in comparison to other currencies could result in an increase in shareholders' equity. For additional discussion of the Company’s foreign exchange market risk exposure, see “Part II—Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Many of the statements in this “Outlook” section and in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” are forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control.  Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Further, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them.  See “—Forward-Looking Statements.”  For a discussion of potential risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position, see “Part I—Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein and “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” and “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report, in each case as updated by the Company's periodic filings with the SEC.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Consistent with 2021, the Company's liquidity and capital resources were not materially impacted by COVID-19 and related economic conditions during the first nine months of 2022. For further discussion regarding the potential future impacts of COVID-19 and related economic conditions on the Company's liquidity and capital resources, see “The ongoing impact of COVID-19 and related risks could materially affect our results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity” included in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in the Company's 2021 Annual Report.
Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business operations and to satisfy general corporate purposes when needed.
 
Operating Company Liquidity.  The liquidity requirements of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries are met primarily by funds generated from premiums, fees, income received on investments and investment maturities.  The Company believes that cash flows from operating activities are sufficient to meet the future liquidity requirements of its insurance subsidiaries. Additionally, investment maturities provide a significant level of available liquidity without requiring the sale of investment securities. For further discussion of operating company liquidity, see “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Holding Company Liquidity.  TRV’s liquidity requirements primarily include shareholder dividends, debt servicing, common share repurchases and, from time to time, contributions to its qualified domestic pension plan.  At September 30, 2022, TRV held total cash and short-term invested assets in the United States aggregating $1.45 billion and having a weighted average maturity of 41 days.  TRV has established a holding company liquidity target equal to its estimated annual pre-tax interest expense and common shareholder dividends (currently approximately $1.20 billion).  TRV’s holding company liquidity of $1.45 billion at September 30, 2022 exceeded this target, and it is the opinion of the Company’s management that these assets are sufficient to meet TRV’s current liquidity requirements.

TRV is not dependent on dividends or other forms of repatriation from its foreign operations to support its liquidity needs. The undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign operations are intended to be permanently reinvested in those operations, and such earnings were not material to the Company’s financial position or liquidity at September 30, 2022.

TRV has a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that expires on June 8, 2025 which permits it to issue securities from time to time.  TRV also has a $1.0 billion line of credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires on June 15, 2027. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $100 million of commercial paper outstanding. TRV is not reliant on its commercial paper program to meet its operating cash flow needs. The Company has no senior notes or junior subordinated debentures maturing until April 2026, at which time $200 million of senior notes will mature.
 
The Company utilized uncollateralized letters of credit issued by major banks with an aggregate limit of $279 million to provide a portion of the capital needed to support its obligations at Lloyd’s at September 30, 2022. If uncollateralized letters of credit are not available at a reasonable price or at all in the future, the Company can collateralize these letters of credit or may have to seek alternative means of supporting its obligations at Lloyd’s, which could include utilizing holding company funds on hand.
 
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was $5.13 billion and $5.58 billion, respectively. The decrease in cash flows in the first nine months of 2022 primarily reflected the impacts of higher levels of payments for claims and claim adjustments expenses, commissions and income taxes, partially offset by higher levels of cash received for premiums. The higher levels of payments for claims and claim adjustment expenses reflected the impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions, which resulted in lower levels of payments for claims and claim adjustment expenses in the prior year period.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was $3.05 billion and $4.42 billion, respectively.  The Company’s consolidated total investments at September 30, 2022 decreased by $9.26 billion, or 11% from year-end 2021, primarily reflecting the impacts of (i) net unrealized investment losses on investments at September 30, 2022 as compared with net unrealized investment gains at December 31, 2021, due to the impact of higher interest rates during the first nine months of 2022 and (ii) net cash used in financing activities, partially offset by (iii) net cash flows provided by operating activities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued


The Company’s investment portfolio is managed to support its insurance operations; accordingly, the portfolio is positioned to meet obligations to policyholders. As such, the primary goals of the Company’s asset-liability management process are to satisfy the insurance liabilities and maintain sufficient liquidity to cover fluctuations in projected liability cash flows. Generally, the expected principal and interest payments produced by the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio adequately fund the estimated runoff of the Company’s insurance reserves. Although this is not an exact cash flow match in each period, the substantial amount by which the market value of the fixed maturity portfolio exceeds the value of the net insurance liabilities, as well as the positive cash flow from newly sold policies and the large amount of high quality liquid bonds, contributes to the Company’s ability to fund claim payments without having to sell assets at a loss or access credit facilities.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was $2.01 billion and $1.06 billion, respectively.  The totals in both 2022 and 2021 reflected common share repurchases and dividends paid to shareholders, partially offset by the net proceeds from employee stock option exercises. Common share repurchases in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 were $1.56 billion and $1.40 billion, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2021 also included net proceeds from the issuance of debt.
 
Dividends.  Dividends paid to shareholders were $656 million and $655 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.  Dividends will be paid by the Company only if declared by its Board of Directors out of funds legally available, subject to any other restrictions that may be applicable to the Company.  On October 19, 2022, the Company announced that it declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.93 per share, payable December 30, 2022 to shareholders of record on December 9, 2022.
 
Share Repurchases.  The Company’s Board of Directors has approved common share repurchase authorizations under which repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in private transactions or otherwise.  The authorizations do not have a stated expiration date.  The Company expects that, generally over time, the combination of dividends to common shareholders and common share repurchases will likely not exceed net income. The Company also expects that to the extent that it continues to grow premium volumes, the amount of capital returned to shareholders relative to earnings would be somewhat less than it otherwise would have been absent the growth in premium volumes. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining capital levels appropriate for the Company’s business operations, changes in levels of written premiums, funding of the Company’s qualified pension plan, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions and related financings), market conditions, changes in tax laws (including the Inflation Reduction Act) and other factors.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 3.1 million and 8.9 million common shares under its share repurchase authorizations for a total cost of $500 million and $1.50 billion, respectively. The average cost per share repurchased was $163.63 and $169.33, respectively. On April 20, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization that added an additional $5.0 billion of repurchase capacity to the $805 million of capacity remaining at that date. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $2.51 billion of capacity remaining under its share repurchase authorizations.

Capital Resources.  Capital resources reflect the overall financial strength of the Company and its ability to borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet its needs. The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s capital structure at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The debt-to-total capital ratio excluding net unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net of taxes, included in shareholders’ equity, is calculated by dividing (a) debt by (b) total capitalization excluding net unrealized gains and losses on investments, net of taxes, included in shareholders’ equity. Net unrealized gains and losses on investments can be significantly impacted by both interest rate movements and other economic factors. Accordingly, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the debt-to-total capital ratio calculated on this basis provides another useful metric for investors to understand the Company’s financial leverage position. The Company’s ratio of debt-to-total capital excluding after-tax net unrealized investment gains (losses) included in shareholders’ equity of 21.8% at September 30, 2022 was within the Company’s target range of 15% to 25%.

RATINGS

Ratings are an important factor in assessing the Company’s competitive position in the insurance industry. The Company receives ratings from the following major rating agencies: A.M. Best Company (A.M. Best), Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and S&P Global Ratings (S&P). The following rating agency actions were taken with respect to the Company since July 21, 2022, the date on which the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was filed with the SEC. For additional discussion of ratings, see “Part I—Item 1—Business—Ratings” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

•On July 29, 2022, A.M. Best affirmed all ratings of the Company. The outlook for all ratings is stable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
For a description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.  The Company considers its most significant accounting estimates to be those applied to claims and claim adjustment expense reserves and related reinsurance recoverables, and impairments of investments, goodwill and other intangible assets. Except as shown in the table below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2021.

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expense Reserves
The table below displays the Company’s gross claims and claim adjustment expense reserves by product line.  Because establishment of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves is an inherently uncertain process involving estimates and the application of judgment, currently established claims and claim adjustment expense reserves may change.  The Company reflects adjustments to the reserves in the results of operations in the period the estimates are changed.  These changes in estimates could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company’s operating results in future periods.  In particular, a portion of the Company’s gross claims and claim adjustment expense reserves (totaling $2.15 billion at September 30, 2022) are for asbestos and environmental claims and related litigation.  Asbestos and environmental reserves are included in the General liability, Commercial multi-peril and International and other lines in the summary table below.  While the ongoing review of asbestos and environmental claims and associated liabilities considers the inconsistencies of court decisions as to coverage, plaintiffs’ expanded theories of liability and the risks inherent in complex litigation and other uncertainties, in the opinion of the Company’s management, it is possible that the outcome of the continued uncertainties regarding these claims could result in liability in future periods that differs from current insurance reserves by an amount that could be material to the Company’s future operating results. Asbestos and environmental reserves are discussed separately; see “Asbestos Claims and Litigation”, “Environmental Claims and Litigation” and “Uncertainty Regarding Adequacy of Asbestos and Environmental Reserves” in this report.

•the impact of developments in the geopolitical environment.
 
The Company cautions investors that such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the Company’s 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:
 
Insurance-Related Risks

•high levels of catastrophe losses, including as a result of factors such as increased concentrations of insured exposures in catastrophe-prone areas, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, its financial position and/or liquidity, and could adversely impact the Company’s ratings, the Company’s ability to raise capital and the availability and cost of reinsurance;
•if actual claims exceed the Company’s claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, or if changes in the estimated level of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves are necessary, including as a result of, among other things, changes in the legal/tort, regulatory and economic environments in which the Company operates, including increased inflation, the Company’s financial results could be materially and adversely affected;
•the Company’s 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; and
•the effects of emerging claim and coverage issues on the Company’s business are uncertain, and court decisions or legislative changes that take place after the Company issues its policies can result in an unexpected increase in the number of claims and have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.

Financial, Economic and Credit Risks

•during or following a period of financial market disruption or an economic downturn, the Company’s business could be materially and adversely affected;

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, Continued
•the Company’s investment portfolio is subject to credit and interest rate risk, and may suffer reduced or low returns or material realized or unrealized losses;
•the Company may not be able to collect all amounts due to it from reinsurers, reinsurance coverage may not be available to the Company in the future at commercially reasonable rates or at all and the Company is exposed to credit risk related to its structured settlements;
•the Company is exposed to credit risk in certain of its insurance operations and with respect to certain guarantee or indemnification arrangements that it has with third parties;
•a downgrade in the Company’s claims-paying and financial strength ratings could adversely impact the Company’s business volumes, adversely impact the Company’s ability to access the capital markets and increase the Company’s borrowing costs; and
•the inability of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company’s holding company in sufficient amounts would harm the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, pay future shareholder dividends and/or make future share repurchases.

Business and Operational Risks

•the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and related risks could materially affect the Company's results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity, including with respect to revenues, claims and claim adjustment expenses, general and administrative expenses, investments, inflation, adverse legislative and/or regulatory action, operational disruptions and heightened cyber security risks;
•the intense competition that the Company faces, including with respect to attracting and retaining employees, and the impact of innovation, technological change and changing customer preferences on the insurance industry and the markets in which it operates, could harm its ability to maintain or increase its business volumes and its profitability;
•disruptions to the Company’s relationships with its independent agents and brokers or the Company’s inability to manage effectively a changing distribution landscape could adversely affect the Company;
•the Company’s efforts to develop new products or services, expand in targeted markets, improve business processes and workflows or make acquisitions 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;
•loss of or significant restrictions on the use of particular types of underwriting criteria, such as credit scoring, or other data or methodologies, in the pricing and underwriting of the Company’s products could reduce the Company’s future profitability; and
•the Company is subject to additional risks associated with its business outside the United States.

Technology and Intellectual Property Risks

•if, as a result of cyber attacks (the risk of which could be exacerbated by geopolitical tensions) or otherwise, the Company experiences difficulties with technology, data and network security, outsourcing relationships or cloud-based technology, the Company’s ability to conduct its business could be negatively impacted;
•the Company’s business success and profitability depend, in part, on effective information technology systems and on continuing to develop and implement improvements in technology, particularly as its business processes become more digital; and
•intellectual property is important to the Company’s 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 the intellectual property of others.

Regulatory and Compliance Risks

•the Company's businesses are heavily regulated by the states and countries in which it conducts business, including licensing, market conduct and financial supervision, and changes in regulation, including higher tax rates, may reduce the Company's profitability and limit its growth; and
•the Company could be adversely affected if its controls designed to ensure compliance with guidelines, policies and legal and regulatory standards are not effective.

In addition, the Company’s share repurchase plans depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining capital levels appropriate for the Company’s business operations, changes in levels of written premiums, funding of the Company’s qualified pension plan, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
For the Company’s disclosures about market risk, please see “Part II—Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report filed with the SEC.  There have been no material changes to the Company’s disclosures about market risk in Part II—Item 7A of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

In addition, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company regularly seeks to identify, develop and implement improvements to its technology systems and business processes, some of which may affect its internal control over financial reporting. These changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, updating existing systems or platforms, automating manual processes or utilizing technology developed by third parties.  These systems changes are often phased in over multiple periods in order to limit the implementation risk in any one period, and as each change is implemented the Company monitors its effectiveness as part of its internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved common share repurchase authorizations under which repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in private transactions or otherwise. The most recent authorization was approved by the Board of Directors on April 20, 2021 and added $5.0 billion of repurchase capacity to the $805 million capacity remaining at that date. The authorizations do not have a stated expiration date. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining capital levels appropriate for the Company’s business operations, changes in levels of written premiums, funding of the Company’s qualified pension plan, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions and related financings), market conditions, changes in tax laws (including the Inflation Reduction Act) and other factors.
 
The Company acquired 4,508 shares for a total cost of approximately $715,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that were not part of the publicly announced share repurchase authorizations.  These shares consisted of shares retained to cover payroll withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock unit awards and performance share awards, and shares used by employees to cover the price of certain stock options that were exercised.

The trading plans will not reduce any of the executives’ ownership of the Company’s shares below the applicable executive stock ownership guidelines. The Company does not undertake any obligation to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any employee or director of the Company in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced plan.
