Solid Start to the Year

Stephen M. Spray, president and CEO, commented: “We recorded $330 million of non-GAAP operating income in the first quarter compared to a loss of $37 million a year ago.

“The first-quarter results for our insurance operations laid a nice foundation for us to build on for the rest of the year. Our 95.6% combined ratio improved almost 18 points from last year’s 113.3%. While lower catastrophe losses drove much of the improvement, we also saw a decline in our current accident year combined ratio before catastrophe losses – giving us confidence in the health of our overall book of business. As we continue to refine pricing segmentation and risk selection, we’ve lowered that ratio by 3 points compared with last year’s first quarter to 87.5%.

“Robust results from our investment operations also contributed. Pretax investment income rose $38 million in the first quarter as dividends from our equity portfolio increase
