Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1Basis of Presentation — 1. BASIS OF REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Progressive Corporation, our wholly owned insurance and non-insurance subsidiaries and affiliates in which we have a controlling financial interest (Progressive).
The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2022,2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Progressive’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in Exhibit 13 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (20212022 (2022 Annual Report to Shareholders).
Insurance Premiums and Receivables
We perform analyses to evaluate our premiums receivable for expected credit losses. See the 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders for a discussion on our premiums receivable allowance for credit loss policy. The following table summarizes changes in our allowance for credit loss exposure on our premiums receivable:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months | | Six Months |
Periods Ended June 30, | 2022 | 2021 | | 2022 | 2021 |
(millions) | | | | | |
Allowance for credit losses, beginning of period | $ | 276.2 | | $ | 265.3 | | | $ | 280.4 | | $ | 356.2 | |
Allowance acquired during period1 | 0 | | 3.5 | | | 0 | | 3.5 | |
Increase in allowance2 | 95.8 | | 87.4 | | | 189.7 | | 148.3 | |
Write-offs3 | (106.2) | | (111.0) | | | (204.3) | | (262.8) | |
Allowance for credit losses, end of period | $ | 265.8 | | $ | 245.2 | | | $ | 265.8 | | $ | 245.2 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
(millions) | 2023 | 2022 | | 2023 | 2022 |
Allowance for credit losses, beginning of period | $ | 340.9 | | $ | 276.2 | | | $ | 343.3 | | $ | 280.4 | |
Increase in allowance1 | 125.3 | | 95.8 | | | 242.2 | | 189.7 | |
Write-offs2 | (122.3) | | (106.2) | | | (241.6) | | (204.3) | |
Allowance for credit losses, end of period | $ | 343.9 | | $ | 265.8 | | | $ | 343.9 | | $ | 265.8 | |
1Represents the amount of the allowance acquired in the Protective Insurance Corporation and subsidiaries (Protective Insurance) acquisition.
2 Represents the incremental increase in other underwriting expenses.
32 Represents the portion of allowance that is reversed when premiums receivable are written off.
The year-over-year increase in the balance of the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2022, compared to June 30, 2021, primarily reflects a higher amount of premiums receivable determined to be at risk of being uncollectible, driven by the growth in our premiums receivable balance. During the first six months of 2021, we experienced greater collections than anticipated, in part due to changes in consumer spending habits and government stimulus spending during the period, which resulted in a lower “increase in allowance” when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Premiums receivable balances are written off once we have exhausted our collection efforts. We recognized higher write-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting the premiums receivable that were reserved during 2020, when moratoriums and billing leniency efforts were put into place during the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, pandemic, which delayed the write-off of these uncollectible balances into 2021.
Property and Equipment
OtherIncluded in other assets onin the consolidated balance sheets include certain long-lived assets that are considered ““held for sale” property. When property is transferred to held for sale.” The carryingsale, the property is written down to its fair value less estimated costs to sell the property. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, and December 31, 2022, we had held for sale property of these held-for-sale assets was$59.5 million, $24.9 million, at June 30, 2022, $57.5and $48.7 million, at June 30, 2021,respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Net income is reduced by preferred share dividends to determine net income available to common shareholders and $10.8 million at December 31, 2021.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In preparationis used in our calculation of the second quarter 2022 financial statements, we evaluated goodwillper common share amounts. Beginning March 15, 2023, the annual dividend rate for impairment usingour Series B Preferred Shares switched to a quantitative approach given changes in circumstances that indicated thatfloating rate. The floating nature of the carrying valuedividend rate will impact the amount of certain portions of goodwill may not be recoverable.the adjustment required to calculate net income available to common shareholders. See Note 129 – Goodwill and Intangible AssetsDividends for further discussion.
Earnings per Common Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, earnings per common share were calculated using basic average equivalent shares since diluted earnings per share would be antidilutive given the net loss reported for both periods. Amounts are reported on a diluted basis for the second quarter and first six months of 2021.
New Accounting Standards
During the first quarter 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), which permits an election to amortize the cost of tax equity investments to the provision for income taxes if certain conditions are met. Currently, these investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years (including interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2023 (2024 for calendar-year companies). If elected, this standard must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. We intend to adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective basis, however, we do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Note 2Investments — 2. INVESTMENTS
The following tables present the composition of our investment portfolio by major security type. Our securities are reported in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The changes in fair value for our fixed-maturity securities (other than hybrid securities) are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred income taxes, in our consolidated
balance sheets. The net holding period gains (losses) reported below represent the inception-to-date changes in fair value offor the hybrid and equity securities. The changes in the net holding period gains (losses) between periods for the hybrid securities and equity securities are recorded as a component of net realized gains (losses) on securities in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

1 Includes $0, $412.1 million, and $143.4At June 30, 2023, we had $248.0 million of net unsettled security purchase transactions included in other liabilities, compared to $34.4 million included in other assets at December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2022, and 2021, and December 31, 2021, respectively, with the offsetting payable included in other liabilities.our net unsettled security transactions were $0.
The total fair value of the portfolio at June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, included $4.3 billion, $4.9 billion, $3.3 billion, and $4.2$4.4 billion, respectively, of securities held in a consolidated, non-insurance subsidiary of the holding company, net of unsettled security transactions.
At June 30, 2022,2023, bonds and certificates of deposit in the principal amount of $468.9$616.8 million were on deposit to meet state insurance regulatory requirements. We did not hold any securities of any one issuer, excluding U.S. government obligations, with an aggregate cost or fair value exceeding 10% of total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 20222023 or 2021,2022, or December 31, 2021.2022. At June 30, 2022,2023, we did not hold any debt securities that were non-income producing during the preceding 12 months.
Short-Term Investments Our short-term investments may include commercial paper and other investments that are expected to mature or are redeemable within one year.
We invested in repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions during 2022 and 2021, but did not have any open repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions positions at June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, or December 31, 2021.2022, and did not enter into any such transactions during the first six months of 2023. During 2022, however, we did invest in repurchase transactions that had an immaterial impact on our results of operations and cash flows. To the extent we enter into repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions, consistent with past practice, we would elect not to offset these transactions and would report them on a gross basis onin our consolidated balance sheets, despite the option to elect to offset these transactions as long as they were with the same
counterparty and subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement.
Hybrid Securities Certain securities in our fixed-maturity portfolio are accounted for as hybrid securities because they contain embedded derivatives that are not deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host investments. These securities are reported at fair value: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Since the embedded derivatives (e.g., change-in-control put option, debt-to-equity conversion, or any other feature unrelated to the credit quality or risk of default of the issuer that could impact the amount or timing of our expected future cash flows) do not have observable intrinsic values,
we have electeduse the fair value option to record the changes in fair value of these securities through income as a component of net realized gains or losses.

Asset-backed securities are classified in the maturity distribution table based upon their projected cash flows. All other securities that do not have a single maturity date are reported based upon expected average maturity. Contractual maturities may differ from expected maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had 2 corporate debtsix securities and 1 residential mortgage-backed security that had their credit ratings downgraded during the quarter, with a combined fair value of $18.3$66.5 million and an unrealized loss of $2.1$7.1 million.
A review of the securities in an unrealized loss position indicated that the issuers were current with respect to their interest obligations and that there was no evidence of deterioration of the current cash flow projections that would indicate we would not receive the remaining principal at maturity.
Allowance For Credit and Uncollectible Losses We are required to measure the amount of potential credit losses for all fixed-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position. We did not record any allowances for credit losses or any write-offs for amounts deemed to be uncollectible during the first six months of 20222023 or 2021,2022, and did not have a material credit loss allowance balance as of June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, or December 31, 2021.2022. We considered several factors and inputs related to the individual securities as part of our analysis. The methodology and significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit losses in our portfolio included:
•current performance indicators on the business model or underlying assets (e.g., delinquency rates, foreclosure rates, and default rates);
•credit support (via current levels of subordination);
•historical credit ratings; and
•updated cash flow expectations based upon these performance indicators.
In order to determine the amount of credit loss, if any, we initially reviewed securities in a loss position to determine whether it was likely that we would be required, or intended, to sell any of the securities prior to the recovery of their respective cost bases (which could be maturity). If we were likely to, or intended to, sell prior to a potential recovery, we would write off the unrealized loss. For those securities that we determined we were not likely to, or did not intend to, sell prior to a potential recovery, we
performed additional analysis to determine if the loss was credit related. For securities subject to credit related loss, we calculated the net present value (NPV) of the cash flows expected (i.e., expected recovery value) using the current book yield for each security. The NPV was then compared to the security’s current amortized value to determine if a credit loss existed. In the event that the NPV was below the amortized value, and the amount was determined to be material individually, or in aggregate, a credit loss would be deemed to exist, and either an allowance for credit losses would be created, or if an allowance currently existed, either a recovery of the previous allowance, or an incremental loss, would be recorded to net realized gains (losses) on securities.
As of June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, we believe none of the unrealized losses relatewere related to material credit losses on any specific securities, or in the aggregate, based on our review.aggregate. We continue to expect all the securities in our portfolio to pay their principal and interest obligations.
In addition, we reviewed our accrued investment income outstanding on those securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, to determine if the accrued interest amounts were determined to be uncollectible. Based on our analysis, we believe the issuers have sufficient liquidity and capital reserves to meet their current interest, and future principal, obligations and, therefore, did not write off any accrued income as uncollectible at June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, or December 31, 2021.2022.

Realized gains (losses) on securities sold are computed using the first-in-first-out method. DuringFor the second quarter 2022, we soldfirst six months of 2023, the gross gains in common equities reflected sales of securities, in our common equity portfolio, which were in a realized gain position, as part of our plan to incrementally reduce risk in the portfolio in response to the likelihoodpotential of a more difficult economic environment over the near term. The majority of the sales in the fixed-maturity portfolio were from U.S. Treasuries, which were sold to shorten duration. Thegross loss from the fixed-maturity sales reflectsreflected the continued rise in interest rates during the second quarterthroughout 2022, which resulted in valuation declines for most of our available-for-sale securities. In addition, during 2023, we selectively sold securities, which were primarily corporate debt securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The
gross loss incurred in our nonredeemable preferred stocks is primarily related to the sale of certain of our holdings in U.S. bank preferred stocks. The other asset gain for 2023, related to proceeds received as the result of litigation in conjunction with three renewable energy investments we made from 2016 through 2018 (the original investments were previously written down in full). The other asset impairment loss was recorded as a result of our investment in a federal new markets tax credit fund, which was entered into during the second quarter 2021, and is reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

On a year-over-year basis, investment income (interest and dividends) increased 39%64% and 24%55% for the first three and six months of 2022,2023, respectively, and the recurring investment book yield increased 36% and 42% for the first three and six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods last year,year. The increases are primarily due
to an increase in interest rates on floating-rate securities in our portfolio, an increase in average assets resulting from premium growth, underwriting profitability, and investing the $1.5 billion of proceeds from debt issued in March 2022. The recurring investment book yield increased 19% for the second quarter 2022 and 7% for the first six months of 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, reflecting investing new cash and cash from maturities in higher interest rate securities given the rising interest rate environment.
Note 3Fair Value — 3. FAIR VALUE
We have categorized our financial instruments, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the method by which they are valued, into a fair value hierarchy of three levels, as follows:
•Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments at the measurement date (e.g., U.S. government obligations, which are continually priced on a daily basis, active exchange-traded equity securities, and certain short-term securities).
•Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly (e.g., certain corporate and municipal bonds and certain preferred stocks). This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the instruments, and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
•Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable. Unobservable inputs reflect our subjective evaluation about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument (e.g., certain structured securities and privately held investments).
Determining the fair value of the investment portfolio is the responsibility of management. As part of thethat responsibility, we evaluate whether a market is distressed or inactive in determining the fair value for our portfolio. We review certain market level inputs to evaluate whether sufficient activity, volume, and new issuances exist to create an active market. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that there was sufficient activity related to the sectors and securities for which we obtained valuations.

Our portfolio valuations, excluding short-term investments, classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the above tables are priced exclusively by external sources, including pricing vendors, dealers/market makers, and exchange-quoted prices.
Our short-term investments classified as Level 1 are highly liquid, actively marketed, and have a very short duration, primarily 90 days or less to redemption. These securities are held at their original cost, adjusted for any accretion of discount, since that value very closely approximates what an active market participant would be willing to pay for such securities. The remainder of our short-term investments are classified as Level 2 and are not priced
externally since these securities continually trade at par value. These securities are classified as Level 2 since they are primarily longer-dated securities issued by municipalities that contain either liquidity facilities or mandatory put features within one year.
At June 30, 2022,2023, vendor-quoted prices represented 87%92% of our Level 1 classifications (excluding short-term investments), compared to 81%87% and 79%90% at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. The securities quoted by vendors in Level 1 primarily represent our holdings in U.S. Treasury Notes, which are frequently traded, and the quotes are considered similar to exchange-traded quotes. The balance of our Level 1 pricing comes
from quotes obtained directly from trades made on active exchanges.
At both June 30, 2023 and 2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, vendor-quoted prices comprised 98% of our Level 2 classifications (excluding short-term investments and common stock), while dealer-quoted prices represented the remaining 2%, compared to 99% and 1% at June 30, 2021.. In our process for selecting a source (e.g., dealer or pricing service) to provide pricing for securities in our portfolio, we reviewed documentation from the sources that detailed the pricing techniques and methodologies used by these sources and determined if their policies adequately considered market activity, either based on specific transactions for the particular security type or based on modeling of securities with similar credit quality, duration, yield, and structure that were recently transacted. Once a source is chosen, we continue to monitor any changes or modifications to their processes by reviewing their documentation on internal controls for pricing and market reviews. We review quality control measures of our sources as they become available to determine if any significant changes have occurred from period to period that might indicate issues or concerns regarding their evaluation or market coverage.
As part of our pricing procedures, we obtain quotes from more than one source to help us fully evaluate the market price of securities. However, our internal pricing policy is to use a consistent source for individual securities in order to maintain the integrity of our valuation process. Quotes obtained from the sources are not considered binding offers to transact. Under our policy, when a review of the valuation received from our selected source appears to be outside of what is considered market level activity (which is defined as trading at spreads or yields significantly different than those of comparable securities or outside the general sector level movement without a reasonable explanation), we may use an alternate source’s price. To the extent we determine that it may be prudent to substitute one source’s price for another, we will contact the initial source to obtain an understanding of the factors that may be contributing to the significant price variance.
To allow us to determine if our initial source is providing a price that is outside of a reasonable range, we review our portfolio pricing on a weekly basis. When necessary, we challenge prices from our sources when a price provided does not match our expectations based on our evaluation of market trends and activity. Initially, we perform a review of our portfolio by sector to identify securities whose prices appear outside of a reasonable range. We then perform a more detailed review of fair values for securities disclosed as Level 2. We review dealer bids and quotes for these and/or similar securities to determine the market level context for our valuations. We then evaluate inputs relevant for each class of securities disclosed in the preceding hierarchy tables.
For our structured debt securities, including commercial, residential, and other asset-backed securities, we evaluate
available market-related data for these and similar securities related to collateral, delinquencies, and defaults for historical trends and reasonably estimable projections, as well as historical prepayment rates and current prepayment assumptions and cash flow estimates. We further stratify each class of our structured debt securities into more finite sectors (e.g., planned amortization class, first pay, second pay, senior, subordinated, etc.) and use duration, credit quality, and coupon to determine if the fair value is appropriate.
For our corporate debt and preferred stock (redeemable and nonredeemable) portfolios, as well as the notes issued by The Progressive Corporation (see Note 4 – Debt), we review securities by duration, coupon, and credit quality, as well as changes in interest rate and credit spread movements within that stratification. The review also includes recent trades, including: volume traded at various levels that establish a market; issuer specific fundamentals; and industry specific economic news as it comes to light.
For our municipal securities (e.g., general obligations, revenue, and housing), we stratify the portfolio to evaluate securities by type, coupon, credit quality, and duration to review price changes relative to credit spread and interest rate changes. Additionally, we look to economic data as it relates to geographic location as an indication of price-to-call or maturity predictors. For municipal housing securities, we look to changes in cash flow projections, both historical and reasonably estimable projections, to understand yield changes and their effect on valuation.
Lastly, for ourFor short-term securities, we look at acquisition price relative to the coupon or yield. Since our short-term securities are typically 90 days or less to maturity, with the majority listed in Level 2 being 30 days or less to redemption, we believe that acquisition price is the best estimate of fair value.
We also review data assumptions as supplied by our sources to determine if that data is relevant to current market conditions. In addition, we independently review each sector for transaction volumes, new issuances, and changes in spreads, as well as the overall movement of interest rates along the yield curve to determine if sufficient activity and liquidity exists to provide a credible source for our market valuations.
During each valuation period, we create internal estimations of portfolio valuation (performance returns), based on current market-related activity (i.e., interest rate and credit spread movements and other credit-related factors) within each major sector of our portfolio. We compare our internally generated portfolio results with those generated based on quotes we receive externally and research material valuation differences. We compare our results to index returns for each major sector adjusting for duration and credit quality differences to better understand our portfolio’s results. Additionally, we review on a monthly basis our external sales transactions and compare
the actual final market sales prices to previous market valuation prices. This review provides us further validation that our pricing sources are providing market level prices, since we are able to explain significant price changes (i.e., greater than 2%) as known events occur in the marketplace and affect a particular security’s price at sale.
This analysis provides us with additional comfort regarding the source’s process, the quality of its review, and its willingness to improve its analysis based on feedback from clients. We believe this effort helps ensure that we are reporting the most representative fair values for our securities.
After all the valuations are received and our review of Level 2 securities is complete, if the inputs used by vendors are determined to not contain sufficient observable market information, we will reclassify the affected securities to Level 3.
Except as described below, our Level 3 securities are priced externally; however, due to several factors (e.g., nature of the securities, level of activity, and lack of similar securities trading to obtain observable market level inputs), these valuations are more subjective in nature.
To the extent we receive prices from external sources (e.g., broker, valuation firm) for the Level 3 securities, we review those prices for reasonableness using internally developed assumptions and then compare our derived prices to the prices received from the external sources. Based on our review, all prices received from external sources remained unadjusted.
If we do not receive prices from an external source, we perform an internal fair value comparison, which includes a review and analysis of market-comparable securities, to determine if fair value changes are needed. Based on this analysis, certain private equity investments included in the Level 3 category remain valued at cost or were priced using a recent transaction as the basis for fair value. At least annually, these private equity investments are priced by an external source.
Our Level 3 other risk investments include securities accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, therefore, are not subject to fair value reporting. Since these securities represent less than 0.1% of our total portfolio, we will continue to include them in our Level 3 disclosures and report the activity from these investments as “other” changes in the summary of changes in fair value table and categorize these securities as “pricing exemption securities” in the quantitative information table.
During 2021, we reclassified aThe Level 3 nonredeemable preferred2 common stock held at December 31, 2020 to a Level 3 common stock to reflect that the security had converted during 2020. The securityJune 30, 2022, was transferred to Level 23 at December 31, 2021.2022. At June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, we did not have any securities in our fixed-maturity portfolio listed as Level 3.
Other than goodwill, duringDuring the second quarter and first six months of 20222023 and 2021,2022, there were no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the second quarter 2022, we determined that the fair value of the goodwill related to our ARX Holding Corp. (ARX) reporting unit was lessbasis, other than the carrying value and we wrote down $224.8 million of our total goodwill asset.goodwill. See Note 12 – Goodwill and Intangible Assetsfor further discussion.
Due to the relative size of the Level 3 securities’ fair values compared to the total portfolio’s fair value, any changes in pricing methodology would not have a significant change in valuation that would materially impact net or comprehensive income.
The following tables provide a summary of changes in fair value associated with Level 3 assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021:2022:

5. INCOME TAXES
Note 5Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. We review our deferred tax assets regularly for recoverability. At June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, we determined that we did not need a valuation allowance on our gross deferred tax assets. Although realization of the deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized based on our expectation that we will be able to fully utilize the deductions that are ultimately recognized for tax purposes.
For the six months ended At June 30, 2023 and 2022, there have been no material changesand December 31, 2022, the net deferred tax asset includes a gross deferred tax asset of $703.7 million, $583.0 million, and $742.9 million, respectively, related to unrealized losses on fixed-maturity
securities. We believe this deferred tax asset will be realized based on the existence of prior year capital gains, current temporary differences related to unrealized gains in our reserveequity portfolio, and other tax planning strategies.
At June 30, 2023 and 2022, and December 31, 2022, we had no reserves for uncertain tax positions.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, was 14.6%20.7% and 6.8%19.9%, respectively, compared to 20.9%14.6% and 20.8%6.8% for the same periods last year. Excluding the effect of the goodwill impairment, which was a one-time charge, theThe lower effective tax raterates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were 22.6% and 79.9%, respectively. The higher effective rates for the current quarter and year, excludingin part due to the goodwill impairment charge, are in part due topartially offset by our permanent tax differences having a greater impact on the effective rate given our pretax loss compared to pretax income infor the same periods last year.periods.

In an effort to manage interest rate risk, we entered into forecasted transactions on certain of Progressive’s debt issuances. We expect to reclassify $0.5$0.6 million (pretax) into interest expense during the next 12 months, related to net unrealized losses on these forecasted transactions (see Note 4 – Debt in our 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders for further discussion).
11. LITIGATION
The Progressive Corporation and/or its insurance subsidiaries are named as defendants in various lawsuits arising out of claims made under insurance policies written by our insurance subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. We consider all legal actions relating to such claims in establishing our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.
In addition, The Progressive Corporation and/or its subsidiaries are named as defendants in a number of class action or individual lawsuits that challenge certain of the operations of the subsidiaries. These cases include and/or typically have included those alleging damages as a result of, among other things,things: our subsidiaries’ methods used for evaluating and paying medical or injury claims or benefits, including, but not limited to, certain bodily injury, personal injury protection (PIP), uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM), and medical payment claims and for reimbursing medical costs incurred by Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries; other claims handling procedures, including, but not limited to, challenges relating to our network of repair facilities, our methods used for estimating physical damage to vehicles for repair purposes and for evaluating the actual cash value of total loss vehicles, the application of a negotiation adjustment in calculating total loss valuations, our payment of fees and taxes, our subrogation practices, our salvage practices, and our handling of diminution of value claims; homeowner claims handling practices and procedures; our assessment of fees related to insufficient funds or reversed payments; interpretations of the provisions of our insurance policies; our insurance product design; certain of our premium actions, including those in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; rating practices; certain marketing, sales, services, implementation and renewal practices and procedures, including with respect to accessibility;accessibility and privacy; our usage-based insurance program; certain relationships with independent insurance agents; patent matters; alleged violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; commercial disputes, including breach of contract; and certain employment practices, including claims relating to pay practices and fair employment practices, among other matters. As of June 30, 2023, lawsuits have been certified or conditionally certified as class/collective actions in cases alleging: we improperly reduce or deny UIM benefits in New Mexico; we improperly value total loss claims in Florida, New York, and Washington; we improperly fail to pay fees and taxes associated with total losses in Florida,
Michigan, and New York; we improperly adjust medical bills in Washington; we improperly calculate basic economic loss as it relates to wage loss coverage in New York; we improperly fail to timely process and pay PIP claims in Texas; and that certain of our compensation practices and overtime payment practices are improper, including our classification of certain employees as exempt from overtime pay requirements. Other insurance companies face many of these same issues.
The nature and volume of litigation pending against The Progressive Corporation and/or its insurance subsidiaries is similar to that which was disclosed in Note 12 – Litigation in our 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders.
We plan to contest the pending lawsuits vigorously, but may pursue settlement negotiations in some cases, as we deem appropriate. Although outcomes of pending cases are uncertain until final disposition, we establish accruals for these lawsuits when it is probable that a loss has been or will be incurred and we can reasonably estimate potential loss exposure, which may include a range of loss. As to lawsuits for which the loss is considered neither probable ornor estimable, or is considered probable but not estimable, we do not establish an accrual. Nevertheless, we continue to evaluate pending litigation to determine if any losses not deemed probable and estimable become so, at which point we would establish an accrual at our best estimate of the loss or range of loss.
With respect to our pending lawsuits that are not related to claims under insurance policies, the accruals that we have established, if any, were not material at June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, or December 31, 2021,2022, and there were no material settlements during 20212022 or the first six months of 2022.2023. For most of these lawsuits, we do not consider any losses to be both probable and estimable, and we are unable to estimate a meaningful range of loss, if any, at this time, due to the factors discussed in Note 12 – Litigation in our 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders. In the event that any one or more of these lawsuits results in a substantial judgment against us, or settlement by us, or if our accruals (if any) prove to be inadequate by a significant amount, the resulting liability could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, cash flows, and/or results of operations. For a further discussion on our pending litigation and related reserving policies, see Note 12 – Litigation in our 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Note 1212. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The majority of the goodwill recorded as of June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, related to the April 1, 2015, acquisition of a controlling interest in ARX. ARX Holding Corp. (ARX). During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill.
In connection with the preparation of our second quarter 2022, financial results, we performed an interim impairment test of our goodwill allocated to the ARX
reporting unit and recorded an impairment loss of $224.8 million which is disclosed as a separate line item in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.. The impairment loss was fully allocated to our Property operating segment. There were no previously recorded accumulated impairment losses and there are no other accumulated goodwill impairment losses on any of the outstanding goodwill.
We performed the interim test See Note 15 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets in our 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders for a discussion of our goodwill for impairment for the ARX reporting unit. The indicators of impairment primarily related to the magnitude of recent weather events relative to forecasted expectations, as well as other factors impacting our plans to restore our Property business to target profitability in a timely fashion and the subsequent reduced forecasted profitability of ARX. As a result, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the ARX reporting unit was less than its carrying value.evaluation.
The quantitative goodwill impairment assessment consisted of comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, we use a discounted cash flow model. The model uses assumptions including, but not limited to, discount rate, and forecasted growth, profitability, investment return, and capital requirements. The assumptions and estimates are consistent with those we believe other non-related marketplace participants would use and are based on management’s best estimates at the time of the analysis. The calculated fair value of the ARX reporting unit was below its carrying value at June 30, 2022, which resulted in recording a goodwill impairment. There was no indication of impairment on the remaining $227.9 million goodwill, of which 98% was attributable to our Personal Lines Agency business and related to the ARX acquisition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
I. OVERVIEW
During the second quarter 2023, The Progressive Corporation’s insurance subsidiaries recognized strong growth in both premiums during the second quarter 2022,written and policies in force, compared to the same period last year, drivenbut the underwriting margin fell short of our goal to earn 4% on an aggregate calendar-year basis.
Our combined ratio of 100.4 for the second quarter 2023 was 4.8 points higher than the same period last year. The variance from the prior year was primarily due to unfavorable prior accident years reserve development and higher catastrophe losses, which were, in part, offset by rate increases takena reduction in expenses, mainly due to a decrease in advertising spend during 2021the quarter, as discussed below.
During the second quarter 2023, we experienced unfavorable prior accident years reserve development of 3.4 points, compared to favorable development of 0.4 points during the second quarter last year. As discussed in more detail below, about 90% of the second quarter and 80% of the year-to-date unfavorable prior year development was in our personal auto products. In addition to prior accident years development, we implemented current accident year actuarial adjustments that added 2.0 points to the second quarter combined ratio, also predominately in our personal auto products.
During the second quarter 2023, we experienced 19 catastrophic weather events that contributed 7.1 points to the underwriting loss, compared to 4.3 points of catastrophe losses for the second quarter last year. These storms were broad-based and impacted 35 states during the quarter. Nearly 60% of the catastrophe losses were in our vehicle businesses while the remaining was in our Property segment. During the first half of 2022. On2023, only six states were not affected by catastrophic events.
First quarter 2023 profitability failed to meet our stated calendar-year goal of a companywide basis, policies96 combined ratio, so we entered the second quarter focused on expense management. Our expense ratio was 1.7 points lower in force were relatively flat year overthe second quarter 2023, compared to the same period last year. During the second quarter 2022,2023, we generated an underwriting profit margindecreased our advertising spend 34%. The reduction in advertising spend in concert with premium growth reduced the contribution of 4.4%, which was aboveadvertising to our 4.0% underwriting profitcombined ratio by 2.0 points. We currently plan to continue to manage our expenses and discretionary spend to further our goal and 0.9 points better than the same period last year.of achieving our target profitability.
During the second quarter we2023, companywide net premiums written grew 18% over the second quarter last year, with all operating segments contributing to the growth. We generated $12.4$14.7 billion of net premiums written, which iswas an increase of $0.9$2.3 billion, or 8%, compared to second quarter 2021.2022. We ended the second quarter 2022 with 26.5 29.6

Personal autothe end of the first quarter 2023, and 2.2 million more than year-end 2022. The increase in policies in force decreased 2% year over year, while our Commercial Lines, Property,reflected both strong new application growth and special lines products grew policies 12%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. The decreaseimproved retention in our personal auto policies reflectsproducts as competitors also continued to raise rates.
In addition to policy growth, the significant decrease experienced in new personal auto applications duringyear-over-year growth for the first half of 2022, compared to the same period last year, reflecting the personal autoquarter reflected rate increases taken sincethat continue to earn in across all of our operating segments. While growth is an important objective, achieving our target profit margin takes precedence over growing premiums. During the firstsecond quarter 2023, we continued to take rate and non-rate actions that we believe are necessary to allow us to achieve our calendar-year underwriting profitability goal of 20214%. As discussed below, we plan to continue to take actions, which could result in less premium and decreased advertising spend, on a year-over-year basis, during the last 12 months.policy growth.
On a year-over-year basis, for the second quarter 2022,2023, net income increased 164% and comprehensive incomeloss decreased 169% and 255%, respectively.92%. The decreaseyear-over-year increase in net income was primarily driven by a $1,722.2 millionreflected net holding period lossrealized gains on securities during the second quarter 2023, compared to net realized losses for the same period duelast year. We recognized less holding period losses on securities in the second quarter 2023, compared to the changelast year, reflecting less volatility in equity market valuations, comparedvaluations. In addition, the increase in net income benefited from a 55% increase in recurring investment income, primarily due to a net holding period gain of $54.2 millionan increase in interest rates on floating-rate securities in our portfolio, an increase in average assets resulting from premium growth, and investing new cash and cash from maturities in higher interest rate securities given the rising interest rate environment. In addition, in the second quarter of 2021. In addition, while preparing our financial statements for the second quarter 2022, we analyzed our goodwill for impairment given our revised forecasted profitability in our Property segment in light of the magnitude of recent weather events and the slower projected pace to restore profitability to this segment. Based on this analysis, we determined the carrying value of the ARX Holding Corp. (ARX) reporting unit exceeded its fair value and, therefore, recorded a $224.8 million one-time, non-cash, goodwill impairment charge duringcharge. See Note 12 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further discussion.
The quarter-over-prior-year quarter decrease in comprehensive loss reflected both the second quarter.
Similar to the decreaseincrease in net income the decrease in comprehensive income was also primarily driven by changes in the valueand a lower amount of our investment portfolio, as we recognized net unrealized losses on our fixed-maturity securities, which experienced a loss of $455.6 million in the second quarter 2023, compared to a loss of $822.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to net unrealized gains of $91.1 million in the prior year, with both periods being primarily reflecting an increasedriven by the then-current interest rate environment, with a significant rise in interest rates throughout 2021 and intoduring the second quarter 2022.first half of last year.

A. Insurance Operations
For the second quarter 2022, we experienced a companywide underwriting profit margin of 4.4%, compared to our target profit margin of 4% and an underwriting profit margin of 3.5% for the same period last year. Net premiums written grew 8% over the second quarter last year, reflecting rate increases taken since the first quarter of 2021, while policies in force growth was flat on a companywide basis. The distribution of profitability and growth varied by segment during the second quarter 2022 as discussed below.
During the second quarter 2022, ourOur Personal Lines and Commercial Lines operating segmentsbusinesses generated an underwriting profit margin of 4.9%0.5% and 10.5%3.6%, respectively, while ourduring the second quarter 2023. Our Property businessoperating segment recognized a 33.2% underwriting loss margin during the quarter, which included 66.7 points due to the significant losses incurred from catastrophic weather events. The special lines products generated an underwriting loss margin of 27.5%, due to significant catastrophe losses incurredprofit during the second quarter 2023, which had a minimal impact on the Personal Lines underwriting margin for the quarter. Our personal auto incurred
We experienced companywide unfavorable prior accident frequency was down about 8%year reserve development of $489.3 million and $1,110.5 million, or 3.4 and 4.0 points, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Approximately 90% of the development for the second quarter 2022, comparedand 80% year to date was in our personal auto products. Approximately half of the personal auto product development for both periods related to property and physical damage claims, reflecting unprecedented increases in severity trends on previously closed claims, relative to comparable periods last year. The contributors to the increased trends came from a variety of sources, including longer vehicle repair times, longer periods for providing rental vehicles, and increases in the price for parts and labor rates. Florida injury and medical claims also contributed significantly to prior accident year development, as did late reported injury claims countrywide, but to a lesser extent.
These factors impacted the second quarter prior accident year development in part reflecting a modest tailwind from reduced driving resulting from record high fuel costs. Wesimilar manner. Throughout the quarter, we continued to see inflationary pressure inelevating severity trends as the average costs to settle a claim which, along withincreased over the same period last year. For the second quarter 2023, our personal auto incurred severity was up about 12% and accident frequency was up about 1% on a year-over-year basis.
While it is difficult to quantify the direct impact of recent insurance legislation in Florida, for all coverages Florida contributed approximately 40% to the prior accident year reserve development year to date across all personal auto product lines. We continue to believe that the Florida tort reform will likely have a positive impact on the insurance industry in Florida over the long term. We will continue to monitor the ever-changing legislative and regulatory environment and will respond as necessary.
In addition to prior accident year development, we made actuarial adjustments to expected loss costs for current year claims, primarily due to higher physical damage severity. Florida litigation is a relatively small part of the current year actuarial adjustments since the increase in attorney represented claims largely affected claims that occurred prior to March 2023.
Our Commercial Lines business represented about 15% of the valuation of used vehicles on a year-over-year basis, contributed to an increase in severity of about 16% overaggregate unfavorable development for the second quarter last year. Duringand about 20% for the quarter, catastrophe losses were fairly consistent on a year-over-year basisfirst half of 2023, and was mainly due to late reported claims from prior accident periods and changes in ourreserve estimates (e.g., aging of the reserves, changes to estimates by adjusters, and inflation factors). The Personal Lines and Commercial Lines businesses but were up substantiallyunfavorable development was partially offset by favorable development in our Property business. For
We employ a team of highly experienced individuals to support our goal of establishing loss and loss adjustment expense reserves as accurately as possible, with minimal variation after the reserves are established. The recent environment has presented challenges to our reserving practices. While we believe our reserves are adequate at the end of the second quarter 2022, our Property business recognized 40.9 points of weather-related catastrophe losses, primarily due2023, we will continue to thunderstorms, hail,monitor loss trends across all states and tornadoes throughout the United States, compared to 25.5 points during same period in the prior year.coverages.
During the quarter, we continued to take actions to address profitability, in response to the continued rising loss costs and other factors, and to strive to achieve our target goal of a 96 combined ratio on a calendar-year basis. During the second quarter 2022,2023, we implementedincreased personal auto rate increasesrates in 1727 states, that represented nearly 40%with an aggregate countrywide net increase of our trailing 12-month written premium. In the aggregate, rate changes for personal auto during the second quarter increased rates on a countrywide basis about 2%7%, which follows an increase of about 7%4% in the first quarter 20222023 and a full yearan aggregate countrywide net increase of about 8%13% in 2021. Of2022. We also increased rates in our commercial auto products 7% through the ratefirst half of 2023 (excluding our transportation network company (TNC) business).

With focus on achieving our calendar-year underwriting profitability goal of 4% and the fact that we have nearly 5 points stillcontinued to earn intosee volatility in our underwriting results. We currently believe that, with the exception of a few key states, the major personal autoseverity trends as inflation continued to influence higher vehicle prices and costs to repair vehicles, we are re-evaluating our rate increases are behind us forplans and intend to continue to raise rates over the remainder of 2022. However, management continuesthe year, with planned increases of about 6% in our personal auto products and about 9% in our commercial auto products. Some of these rate increases will be subject to assessregulatory approval. We will also continue to monitor the factors that could impact our loss costs for both our vehicle and Property businesses, which may include new and used car prices, miles driven, driving patterns, loss severity, weather events, building materials, construction costs, inflation, and other components, of expected loss costs on a state-by-state basis, and these factors could change our current plans for rate increases.
In addition to rate action, we routinely monitor our advertising spend and, during the second quarter 2023, reduced these costs 34%, compared to the same period last year. In addition to these steps, during the second quarter 2023, we started to take additional measures to support our goal of achieving our target profit margin that included slowing new business growth through verification activities, bill plan offerings, and through continued general operational expense discipline. In addition to potentially slowing growth in premiums and new business applications, some of these actions could reduce our retention.
Returning to profitability in our Property business continues to remain a priority for us. In addition to our focus on shifting our concentration mix between states, we continued to adjust rates to address profitability concerns. In the second quarter 2023, in our Property product lines, we increased rates by about 4% on average, following a rate increase of about 3% in the first quarter 2023 and an increase of about 19% during 2022. Similar to our personal and commercial auto products, we intend to continue to raise rates in our Property products in an effort to achieve our calendar-year underwriting profitability goal, with a planned aggregate countrywide increase of about 7% over the remainder of the year. Some of these rate increases will be subject to regulatory approval.
For the second quarter 2023, net premiums written grew 18% on a companywide basis over the same period last year, primarily driven by policy growth and rate increases that continued through the second quarter 2023. Personal Lines grew 22%, Commercial Lines 2%, and Property 17%. Changes in net premiums written are a function of new business applications (i.e., policies sold), premium per policy, and will fileretention. While we had significant new business application growth at the beginning of the second quarter, we experienced a decline in the rate of growth by the end of the quarter, which we believe, in part, resulted from actions taken to address profitability as discussed above.
The Personal Lines increase reflected growth in both our Agency and Direct businesses. On a year-over-year basis, new personal auto applications grew 37% for the second quarter 2023, compared to the same period last year. Despite the rate increases that we are taking, we believe that we are continuing to benefit from competitor rate increases.
The increase in net premiums written in our Commercial Lines business reflected growth in all of our business market targets (BMTs), except our for-hire transportation BMT, which continued to be impacted by a slowdown in the rate of economic activity and deteriorating freight market conditions. The most significant growth was in our business auto and contractor BMTs. We believe the increase in our contractor BMT is influenced by construction employment and spending trends.
During the second quarter 2023, we also experienced a net premiums written decrease in our TNC business, primarily due to a decrease in projected mileage (which is the basis for determining premiums written for this business), compared to the estimated mileage adjustments during the same period last year. Excluding the decrease from the TNC business, our Commercial Lines net premiums written growth was 6% for the second quarter 2023, compared to the second quarter 2022.
For our Property business, we have continued to manage our overall exposure through measures that helped accelerate growth in markets that are less susceptible to catastrophic weather events and lower our exposure to
coastal and hail-prone states for all products excluding renters and umbrella. New applications in the states where deemed necessary. we are focused on growth were up about 50% over the second quarter last year. In regions where our appetite to write new business is limited, we are prioritizing Progressive auto bundles, as well as lower risk properties, such as new construction or homes with newer roofs. New applications were down about 30% in these more volatile weather states. In addition, the Property business benefited from growth in Robinsons, our bundled auto and home policies. In total, Property new applications were up 12% over the second quarter 2022.
During the quarter, the number of quotes increased in the Agency auto channel and decreased in the Direct auto channel, with an increase in the rate of conversion in both channels, which contributed to the 37% increase in total personal auto new business applications on a year-over-year basis. We believe that the growth in the conversion rates reflects that our competitors also continued to raise rates to address their underwriting profitability issues. During the second quarter 2023, we reduced advertising spend, resulting in the decrease in quotes in our Direct auto channel.
We believe a key element in improving the accuracy of our rating is Snapshot®, our usage-based insurance offering. During the first six months of 2022,second quarter 2023, the adoption rates for consumers enrolling in the program when given the option, increased nearly 20%about 40% in Agency auto and nearly 10% in Direct auto, compared to the same period last year. Oursecond quarter 2022. Snapshot is available in all states, other than California, and our latest segmentation model iswas available in states that represented about 70%45% of our countrywide personal auto premium.premium at June 30, 2023. We continue to invest in our mobile application, with mobile devices being chosen for Snapshot monitoring for the majority of new enrollments.
In addition to rate actions, during the second quarter 2022, we also continued to tighten underwriting criteria, limit bill plan payment options, and reduce advertising spend during the period in states where losses indicated rates are not meeting our profitability goals in our personal auto business. We reduced total advertising spend 7%, or 0.9 combined ratio points, compared to the second quarter last year, based on performance against our media and underwriting targets in certain types of advertising. Consistent with rate actions, management will continue to assess where additional non-rate actions may be needed. These rate and non-rate measures resulted in fewer new business auto applications during the year and could continue to impact personal auto growth in net premiums written and policies in force in future periods.
During the second quarter 2022, our Property business continued to experience high volatility in underwriting profitability, primarily attributable to the impact from weather-related catastrophe losses. We remain focused on taking rate and non-rate actions in our Property business to reduce volatility in our underwriting results. We increased rates in our Property businesses 7% and 8% during the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, and 10% during the last 12 months. These targeted rate increases are continuing to be earned into the book of business.
We continue to focus our Property growth efforts in states with traditionally less catastrophe exposure and limit growth in the coastal and hail prone states. In response to this effort, in 2021, we announced plans to non-renew about 60,000 policies in Florida, which we started doing in the second quarter 2022. This effort to non-renew Florida policies was curtailed, in part, as new legislation was introduced in Florida potentially prohibiting the non-renewal of certain policies based on the age of the roof of the insured structure. While the outcome is still pending, we believe we will non-renew significantly less of the policies previously intended for non-renewal, which will slow our efforts to reduce the volatility in Property underwriting results.
We realized that our current pricing actions and underwriting activities to reduce our exposure in states with traditionally less catastrophe exposure and limit growth in the coastal and hail prone states will require more time than originally anticipated for our efforts to take effect to achieve our target combined ratio for the Property business. This information, combined with the continued extent of the weather-related losses, prompted us to reevaluate the forecasted combined ratio assumptions used in our 2021 annual goodwill impairment model for the ARX reporting unit as we were preparing our financial results for the second quarter 2022. In performing an interim goodwill impairment quantitative assessment, we determined the carrying value of ARX exceeded its currently forecasted fair value and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $224.8 million during the quarter, which represented the entire amount of goodwill assigned to the ARX reporting unit. The write down is a nonrecurring item and did not impact underwriting profitability for the second quarter 2022. There are no indications of impairment on the remaining $227.9 million of goodwill, which is predominantly related to the ARX acquisition and assigned to our Personal Lines Agency auto business, since the primary intent of the acquisition was to give us the ability to better penetrate the Robinsons segment (i.e., bundled auto and home) within our independent agency distribution channel.
We evaluate growth in terms of both net premiums written and policies in force growth. The rate and non-rate actions that began in 2021, and continued into the second quarter 2022, impacted premium and volume growth on a year-over-year basis. For the second quarter 2022, our companywide net premiums written grew 8%, with Personal Lines growing 6%, Commercial Lines 16%, and Property 8%, primarily reflecting higher average written premium per policy. On a companywide basis, policies in force growth was flat, with Personal Lines decreasing 1%, and Commercial Lines and Property growing 12% and 6%, respectively. Within Personal Lines, policies in force in Agency auto decreased 5% and were flat in Direct auto year over year, while the special lines policies increased 5%. The decrease in our personal auto policy in force growth is attributable to the decrease in the growth of new applications during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as discussed below, as well as a decrease in the rate of growth in our renewal applications.
During the second quarter 2022,2023, on a year-over-year basis, average written premiums per policy grew 11%7% in personal auto 14%and 12% in Property, while average written premiums per policy were flat in commercial auto. The personal auto (excluding our transportation network company (TNC), business owners policy (BOP), and Protective Insurance Corporation and subsidiaries (Protective Insurance) products), and 4% in Property reflectinggrowth primarily reflected rate increases taken beginning in 2021throughout 2022 that continued into the first half 2023, in response to rising loss costs. Growth may continue to be impactedThe rate increases taken in commercial auto were, in part, offset by a shift in the actions we are taking to address
profitabilitymix of business, primarily driven by a decreased demand in response to rising loss costs and increasing severity trends.our for-hire transportation product. Given that our commercial auto and Property policies are predominately written for 12-month terms, compared to primarily 6-month policies in our personal auto business, these rate actions will take longer to earn in.in for these products.
The rate and non-rate measures we started taking during 2021, which continued into the second quarter 2022, resulted in fewer new business personal auto applications. During the second quarter 2022, new applications (i.e., issued policies) decreased 13% in our Personal Lines segment, with total new personal auto applications decreasing 15%. Agency auto new applications decreased 20% and Direct auto decreased 11%. We began to see slight improvement in new business auto applications toward the end of the second quarter as our competitors have more recently begun to increase rates. New applications for our special lines products were down 7% during the second quarter 2022, primarily reflecting the significant new application growth experienced during 2021, due to growth in RV, boat, and motorcycle demand. On a year-over-year basis for the second quarter 2022, renewal applications increased 2% in Personal Lines, with total personal auto renewal applications up 1% over the second quarter last year.
On a year-over-year basis for the second quarter 2022, in our Commercial Lines business (excluding our TNC, BOP, and Protective Insurance products) new applications decreased 6%, primarily reflecting the significant new application growth experienced during 2021, while renewal applications increased 15%. In addition, we have begun to see growth headwinds in our for-hire transportation product as the transportation freight market softens. In our Property business, new applications decreased 5% and renewal applications increased 8% on a year-over-year basis for the second quarter.
While the rate and non-rate actions resulted in fewer new business personal auto applications during the quarter, we strongly believe that achieving our target profit margin takes precedence over growing premiums and that the actions discussed above are necessary to position us well for the future. Nevertheless, we remain focused on growth and realize that to grow policies in force, it is critical that we retain our customers for longer periods. Consequently, increasing retention continues to be one of our most important priorities. Our efforts to increase our share of multi-product households remains a key initiative and we will continue to make investments to improve the customer experience in order to support that goal. Policy life expectancy, which is our actuarial estimate of the average
length of time that a policy will remain in force before cancellation or lapse in coverage, is our primary measure of customer retention in our Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, and Property businesses.
We evaluate total auto retention using a trailing 12-month and a trailing 3-month policy life expectancy. The latter does not address seasonality and can reflect more volatility.volatility and is more sensitive to seasonality. As of the end of the second quarter 2022,2023, our trailing 12-month total personal auto policy life expectancy decreased 11%increased 1%, compared to last year, withwhich marks the first time the trailing 12-month measure has been positive since the beginning of 2022. The Direct channel trailing 12-month measure was up 2% and the Agency channel down 13% andwas flat. We have seen improvement in our trailing 12-month policy life expectancy on a month-over-prior month basis for the Direct channel down 9%, respectively.last several months, although future rate increases could also adversely impact our retention. Our trailing 3-month policy life expectancy for total personal auto was down 32%up 40%, compared to the same period last year. We believe that the improved retention on a trailing 3-month basis reflects our continued competitiveness in the marketplace despite our rate increases.
At the end of the second quarter 2023, trailing 12-month policy life expectancy increased 4% in special lines, 7% in Property, and decreased 11% in Commercial Lines, compared to the same period last year. The decreasesdecrease in policy life expectancy reflectCommercial Lines was across all BMTs, except for our business auto market, with the impactdecrease in for-hire transportation BMT demand providing the largest contribution to the overall decrease.

The increase in invested assets generated from theyear-end 2022 primarily reflected solid cash flows from our underwriting operations and the $0.5 billion of proceeds of the $1.5 billionfrom debt offeringissued in March.May 2023, as discussed further below, as well as valuation increases in nearly all portfolio sectors.
Our asset allocation strategy is to maintain 0%-25% of our portfolio in Group I securities, with the balance
(75%-100%) of our portfolio in Group II securities (the securities allocated to Group I and II are defined below under Results of Operations – Investments)Investments). At June 30, 2022, 11%2023, 8% of our portfolio was allocated to Group I securities and 89%92% to Group II securities, compared to 17%10% and 83%90%, respectively, at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the percentage of Group I securities since year end was primarily driven by sales in our common equity portfolio with proceeds reinvested in Group II short-term investments.

Our recurring investment income generated a pretax book yield of 2.3%3.1% for the second quarter 2022,2023, compared to 1.9%2.3% for the same period in 2021,2022, due to the increase in interest rates on our floating-rate securities and the investment of cash and maturities at currentrelatively higher interest rates. Our investment portfolio produced a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) total return of 0% and (3.6)% and 1.7% for the second quarter 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. Our fixed-income and common stock portfolios had FTE total returns of (2.4)(0.4)% and (16.3)%9.0%, respectively, for the second quarter 2022,2023, compared to 1.1%(2.4)% and 7.3%(16.3)%, respectively, last year.

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) ceased as an official reference rate on June 30, 2023. The Federal Reserve Board identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the recommended replacement to U.S. LIBOR. As of June 30, 2023, we owned 144 unique securities with an aggregate par value of $2.9 billion that were still based on LIBOR, with our other asset-backed securities, mainly collateralized loan obligations, making up the majority of these securities. Due to provisions in the terms of the securities, which allow a change in the underlying rate if a rate is discontinued, we do not expect the cessation of LIBOR to have shorteneda material effect on our portfolio duration over the previous twelve months, which we believe provides some protection against further increases in interest rates.portfolio.
II. FINANCIAL CONDITION
A. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Progressive’s insurance operations create liquidity by collecting and investing premiums from new and renewal business in advance of paying claims. As primarily an auto insurer, our claims liabilities generally have a short-term duration. Operations generated positive cash flows of $3.9$4.8 billion and $4.9$3.9 billion for the six months ended June 30,
2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. While we continued to collect premiums at a faster rate than losses were paid, the decrease in operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2022, is primarily driven by higher paid losses as the costs of losses continue to rise, compared to last year. We believe cash flows are expected towill remain positive in the reasonably foreseeable future and do not expect we will have a need to raise capital to support our operations in that timeframe, although changes in market or regulatory conditions affecting the insurance
industry, or other unforeseen events, may necessitate otherwise.
As of June 30, 2023, we held $33.1 billion in short-term investments and U.S. Treasury securities, which represented about 55% of our total portfolio. Based on our portfolio allocation and investment strategies, we believe that we have sufficient readily available marketable securities to cover our claims payments and short-term obligations in the event our cash flow from operations were to be negative. See Item 1A,Risk Factors in our Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of certain matters that may affect our portfolio and capital position.
Our total capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) was $22.0$23.6 billion, atbased on book value, at June 30, 2022,2023, compared to $24.1$22.0 billion at June 30, 2021,2022, and $23.1$22.3 billion at December 31, 2021.2022. The decreaseincrease from December reflected the prior periods primarily reflects our comprehensive loss forincome recognized during the first half of 2022,2023, primarily driven by the negative market impact on the valuation of our investment portfolio, and the maturity of our 3.75% Senior Notes during the third quarter 2021, in part offset by the issuance in March 2022May 2023 of $500$500.0 million of 2.50%4.95% Senior Notes due 2027, $500 million of 3.00% Senior Notes due 2032, and $500 million of 3.70% Senior Notes due 2052.2033. Our debt-to-total capital ratio was 29.2% at June 30, 2023, 29.0% at June 30, 2022, 22.4% at June 30, 2021, and 21.2%28.7% at December 31, 2021. 2022, and, in each case, consistent with our financial policy of maintaining a ratio of less than 30%.
While our financial policies include a goal of maintaining debt below 30% of total capital at book value, which we achieved for all periods presented, a continued rise inrecognize that various factors, including rising interest rates, widening creditscredit spreads, further declines in the equity markets, or erosion in operating results, may result in that ratio exceeding 30% at times. WeIn such a situation, as we did during 2022, we may choose to remain above 30% for some time, dependent upon market conditions and the capital needs of our operating business. However, in such a situation, we would expectbusinesses. We will continue to return to being consistent withmonitor this ratio, market conditions, and our stated policy in an appropriate timeframe.capital needs going forward.
None of the covenants on our outstanding debt securities include rating or credit triggers that would require an adjustment of interest rates or an acceleration of principal payments in the event that our debt securities are downgraded by a rating agency. In April 2022,2023, we renewedamended the unsecured discretionary line of credit (the “LineLine of Credit”)Credit) with PNC Bank, National Association, inand raised the maximum principal amount to $300 million from the previous amount of $250 million.million, with a new interest rate of 1-month term SOFR plus 1.10%. We did not engage in short-term borrowings, including any borrowings under our Line of Credit, to fund our operations or for liquidity purposes during the reported periods.
During the first six months of 2022,2023, we returned capital to shareholders primarily through common share dividends.dividends and common share repurchases. Our Board of Directors declared a $0.10 per common share dividend in both the first and second quarters of 2022.2023. These dividends, which
were each $58.5 million in the aggregate, were paid in April 20222023 and July 2022,2023, respectively. In January 2022,2023, we also paid common share dividends declared in the fourth quarter 2022, in the aggregate amount of $58.5 million, or $0.10 per share (see Note 9 – Dividends for further discussion).
In addition to the common share dividends, in March 2022,2023 and June 2023, we paid Series B Preferred Share dividends in the aggregate amount of $13.4 million.million and $9.5 million, respectively. Beginning March 15, 2023, the annual dividend rate for our Series B Preferred Shares switched to a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.539% applied to the stated amount per share. We, as calculation agent under our Series B Preferred Shares, determined that, in accordance with the successor base rate provisions of the Series B Preferred Shares and the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act and the regulation issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on December 16, 2022, implementing the LIBOR Act, the reference rate for the Series B Preferred Shares for any determination date after June 30, 2023, shall be the sum of (i) 3-Month CME Term SOFR plus (ii) a tenor spread adjustment of 0.26161%. The new reference rate will apply beginning with the determination date applicable to the dividend period commencing September 15, 2023. During the floating rate period, dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares will be payable quarterly, if and when declared by the Board of Directors.
Pursuant toConsistent with our financial policies, we will repurchase common shares to neutralize dilution from equity-based compensation granted during the year and opportunistically when we believe our shares are trading below our determination of long-term fair value. During the first six months of 2022,2023, we did not repurchase any shares in the open market and repurchased 0.3 million common shares, at a total cost of $29.5$40.1 million, including 0.1 million shares in the second quarter 2023, both in the open market and to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of equity awards under our equity compensation plans. We will continue to make decisions on returning capital to shareholders based on the strength of our overall capital position, the capital strength of our subsidiaries, and potential capital needs to expand our business operations.
We seek to deploy capital in a prudent manner and use multiple data sources and modeling tools to estimate the frequency, severity, and correlation of identified exposures, including, but not limited to, catastrophic and other insured losses, natural disasters, and other significant business interruptions, to estimate our potential capital needs.
Based upon our capital planning and forecasting efforts, we believe we have sufficient capital resources and cash flows from operations to support our current business, scheduled principal and interest payments on our debt, anticipated quarterly dividends on our common shares and dividends on our Series B Preferred Shares, our contractual
obligations, and other expected capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We did not experienceAt June 30, 2023, we had $4.3 billion in a significant change in our liquidity needs duringconsolidated, non-insurance subsidiary of the first six months of 2022. At all times measured duringholding company that can be used to fund corporate obligations and provide additional capital to the first six months of 2022 and during 2021, which at a minimum occurs at the end of each month, our total capital exceeded the sum of our regulatory capital layer plus our self-constructed extreme contingency layer, as described in Exhibit 13insurance subsidiaries to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2021 Annual Report to Shareholders).fund potential future growth. As of June 30, 2022,2023, our estimated consolidated statutory surplus was $16.6$19.0 billion.
During the first six months of 2022,2023, our contractual obligations and critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those discussed in our 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders. Pursuant to our critical accounting policy for goodwill, we test our goodwill balance for impairment at the reporting unit level annually as of October 1, or more frequently if indicators of
impairment exist. In conjunction with the preparation of our second quarter 2022 financial results, we performed a quantitative analysis of the goodwill attributable to our Property segment based on indications that impairment might exist. Based on this analysis, we wrote down $224.8 million of goodwill duringDuring the second quarter 2022. See Note 12 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets2023, we renewed our catastrophe excess of loss per occurrence reinsurance contract, which increased our noncancellable purchase obligation commitments about $139.5 million, bringing our total commitments related to the excess of loss contracts to $466.8 million at June 30, 2023. We placed 100% of the requested reinsurance
coverage for further discussion.the June 1 renewal. There have not been any other material changes in off-balance-sheet leverage, which includes purchase obligations and catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contracts, from those discusseddisclosed in our 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders.
In May 2023, we decided to raise additional capital to take advantage of attractive terms in the market and to provide additional financial flexibility, and we may do so in the future. We have an effective shelf registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission so that we may periodically offer and sell an indeterminate aggregate amount of senior or subordinated debt securities, preferred stock, depository shares, common stock, purchase contracts, warrants, and units. The shelf registration enables us to raise funds from the offering of any securities covered by the shelf registration as well as any combination thereof, subject to market conditions.
III. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – UNDERWRITING
A. Segment Overview
We report our underwriting operations in three segments: Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, and Property. As a component of our Personal Lines segment, we report our Agency and Direct business results to provide further understanding of our products by distribution channel.
The following table shows the composition of our companywide net premiums written, by segment, for the respective periods:
| | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |

1 Personal auto products accounted for 92% and 91% of the total Personal Lines segment net premiums written during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 93% during the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021, and2022; our special lines products accounted for the balance.
The shift between our Personal Lines and Commercial Lines segments during both the second quarter and first six months of 2022, compared to the same periods last year, reflects Commercial Lines (including Protective Insurance products) growing at a faster rate than Personal Lines.
Our Personal Lines business writes insurance for personal autos and special lines products (e.g., motorcycles, RVs, watercraft, and RVs)snowmobiles). Within Personal Lines, we often refer to our four consumer segments, which include:we refer to as:
•Sam - inconsistently insured;
•Diane - consistently insured and maybe a renter;
•Wrights - homeowners who do not bundle auto and home; and
•Robinsons - homeowners who bundle auto and home.
While our personal auto policies are primarily written for 6-month terms, we write 12-month auto policies in our Platinum agencies to promote bundled auto and home growth. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, 14% of our Agency auto policies in force were 12-month policies, compared to 13% a year earlier. While the shift to 12-month policies is slow, topolicies. To the extent our Agency application mix of annual policies grows, thatthe shift in policy term could increase our written premium mix by channel as 12-month policies have about twice the amount of net premiums written compared to 6-month policies. Our special lines products are written for 12-month terms.
Our Commercial Lines business writes auto-related liability and physical damage insurance, workers’ compensation insurance primarily for the transportation industry, and business-related general liability and property insurance predominately for small businesses.businesses, and workers’ compensation insurance primarily for the transportation industry. The majority of our Commercial Lines business is written through the independent agency channel although we continue to focus on growing our direct business is growing.business. To serve our direct channel customers, we continuedcontinue to expand our product offerings, including adding states where we offer BOP and include theour business owners policy (BOP) product, onas well as adding these product offerings to our digital platform servingthat serves direct small business consumers (BusinessQuote Explorer®). The amount of commercial auto business written through the direct channel, excluding our TNC business, grew 4% on a quarter-over-prior-year-quarter basis. However, given the growth in our commercial auto agency book of business, which includes the Protective Insurance products, the direct commercial auto business, excluding our TNC, BOP, and Protective Insurance Corporation and subsidiaries (Protective Insurance) products, represented 9%10% of our commercial auto premiums compared to 10% a year earlier.written for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. We write about 90% of Commercial Lines policies for 12-month terms.
Our Property business writes residential property insurance for homeowners, other property owners, and renters.renters, and writes umbrella insurance. We write the majority of our Property business through the independent agency channel; however, wechannel. We continue to expand the direct distribution of our Property product offerings, and, for both the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, nearly a quarter of our Property business premiums were written in the direct channel, which represented about 24%channel. All of premiums written for the second quarter 2022, compared to 22% for the same period last year.our Property policies are written for 12-month terms.
B. Profitability
Profitability for our underwriting operations is defined by pretax underwriting profit or loss, which is calculated as net premiums earned plus fees and other revenues less losses and loss adjustment expenses, policy acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses. We also use underwriting margin, which is underwriting profit or loss expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned, to analyze our results. For the respective periods, our underwriting profitability results were as follows:

During the second quarter 2022, the increase in our underwriting profitability primarily reflected a decrease in our expenses, which in part were due to a decrease in advertising spend and personnel costs, reflecting a decrease in our annual cash-incentive Gainshare program accrual.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2023, we experienced unfavorable prior accident years reserve development of 3.4 points and 4.0 points, respectively, compared to favorable development of 0.4 points for the second quarter last year and 0.6 points of unfavorable development for the first six months of 2022. We have continued to see volatility in our severity trends
as inflation continued to influence higher vehicle prices and costs to repair vehicles. Our catastrophe losses reduced our underwriting profitability 7.1 points for the quarter and 4.5 points for the first six months of 2023, compared to 4.3 points and 2.8 points for the same periods last year.
See the Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses (LAE) section below for further discussion of our frequency and severity trends, reserve development, and catastrophe losses incurred during the period.periods.
The pandemic has shifted consumer behavior and impacted general economic conditions. We have seen volatility in our severity trends as inflation continued to influence higher vehicle prices and costs to repair vehicles. We have responded, and will continue to respond, to these market changes through rate increases, underwriting restrictions, and other non-rate actions.
Further underwriting results for our Personal Lines business, including results by distribution channel, the Commercial Lines business, the Property business, and our underwriting operations in total, were as follows:

Claims costs, our most significant expense, represent payments made and estimated future payments to be made, to or on behalf of our policyholders, including expenses needed to adjust or settle claims. Claims costs are a function of loss severity and frequency and, for our vehicle businesses, are influenced by inflation and driving patterns, among other factors, some of which are discussed below. In our Property business, severity is primarily a function of construction costs and the age of the structure. Accordingly, anticipated changes in these factors are taken into account when we establish premium rates and loss reserves. Loss reserves are estimates of future costs and
our reserves are adjusted as underlying assumptions change and information develops.
Our total loss and LAE ratio increased 0.96.5 points for the second quarter 2022,2023, compared to the same period last year, and 3.75.0 points on a year-to-date basis, primarily due to increased severity, unfavorable prior and current accident severity in both our personal and commercial auto businessesyears reserve development, and higher catastrophe losses, in all of our operating segments, partially offset by lower accident frequency in our personal auto business and the higher premium per vehiclepolicy due to rate increases in bothincreases. On an accident year basis, our personalsecond quarter loss and commercial auto businesses.LAE ratio was 2.7 points higher than the second quarter 2022, and 1.6 points higher on a year-to-date basis.

1 Represents catastrophe losses incurred during the period, including the impact of reinsurance, as a percent of net premiums earned for each segment.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we were affected by 19 and 43 catastrophic weather events, respectively, compared to 23 and 34 events in the same periods last year. During the second quarter 2022, the majority of2023, our catastrophe losses were due to thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes,reflected severe weather events throughout the United States.States, with Texas, Florida, and Colorado contributing to just over half of the losses although 35 states were affected for the quarter and 44 states for the first six months. We have responded, and plan to continue to respond, promptly to catastrophic events when they occur in order to provide exemplary claims service to our customers.
FutureChanges in our estimate of our ultimate losses on current catastrophes along with potential future catastrophes could have a material impact on our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. As a result, weWe reinsure various risks including, but not limited to, catastrophic losses. We do not have catastrophe-specific reinsurance for our Personal Lines or commercial auto businesses, but we reinsure portions of our Property business. The Property business reinsurance programs include catastrophe occurrence excess of loss contracts and aggregate excess of loss contracts. We also purchase non-weather-related catastrophe reinsurance on our Protective Insurance workers’ compensation insurance.
We evaluate our reinsurance programs during the renewal process, if not more frequently, to ensure our programs continue to effectively address the company’s risk tolerance. During the second quarter 2022,2023, we entered into new reinsurance contracts under our per occurrence excess of loss program for our Property business. The reinsurance program has retention thresholds for losses and allocated loss adjustment expense (ALAE) from a single catastrophic event of $200 million, which is unchanged from the retention threshold on prior contracts. In general, our program includes coverage for $2.0 billion in damages with additional substantial coverage for a second or third hurricane. When including the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund and the Reinsurance Assistance to Policyholder programs that are specific to Florida, this coverage reaches $2.4 billion. While the cost of our reinsurance program increased considerably over the prior contracts. year due to market conditions, we were able to successfully place 100% of the requested coverage with our reinsurers.
During 2022,2023, we also entered into a new aggregate excess of loss reinsurance contract that increased ourhas multiple layers of coverage, with the first retention layer threshold ranging from $475$500 million to $575 million, excluding named tropical storms and reduced aggregate potential hurricanes, and the second retention layer threshold of $600 million, including named tropical storms and hurricanes. The first and second layers provide
coverage by $50up to $100 million to a total of $175and $85 million, compared to our 2021 program. In our view, our capital position and growing balance sheet enabled us to assume more of these risks via higher retention levels.respectively. While the total coverage limit and per-event retention will evolve to fit the growth of our business, we expect to remain a consistent purchaser of reinsurance coverage. Consistent with this history, we were able to fully place our desired coverage at both January 1st and June 1st renewal events. See Item 1 – Description of Business-Reinsurance in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, for a discussion of our various reinsurance programs. During
As of the end of the second quarter and first six months of 2022,2023, we did not experience significant excess of loss reinsurance activity and we have not exceededwere about $40 million to $50 million below the annual retention thresholds under our 20222023 catastrophe aggregate excess of loss program.
program, based on the layer. We will likely exceed a portion of our retention threshold during the third quarter 2023. Once the retention thresholds are exceeded, we have reinsurance coverage up to $100 million for non-named storm property catastrophe losses.The following discussion of our severity and frequency trends in our personal auto business excludes comprehensive coverage because of its inherent volatility, as it is typically linked to catastrophic losses generally resulting from adverse weather. For our commercial auto products, the reported frequency and severity trends include comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage insures against damage to a customer’s vehicle due to various causes other than collision, such as windstorm, hail, theft, falling objects, and glass breakage.
Total personal auto incurred severity (i.e., average cost per claim, including both paid losses and the change in case reserves) on a calendar-year basis, increased about 16% duringover the second quarter and first six months of 2022, compared to the sameprior-year periods last year. These increases reflectwas as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Growth Over Prior Year |
| Quarter | Year-to-date |
Coverage Type | 2023 | 2023 |
Bodily injury | 13 | % | 11 | % |
Collision | 8 | | 7 | |
Personal injury protection | 5 | | 5 | |
Property damage | 11 | | 13 | |
Total | 12 | | 11 | |
The year-over-year increase in severity, in part, reflects the impact of inflation, which continues to increase in the valuation of used vehicles and our total loss, repair, and repairmedical costs.
Following are the changes we experienced in severity in our auto coverages on a year-over-year basis:
•Collision increased 23% and 26% for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, and auto property damage increased about 24% and 23%, respectively, in part due to increased used car prices.
•Bodily injury increased about 9% and 8% for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, due in part to increasing non-medical losses.
•Personal injury protection (PIP) decreased about 7% during the second quarter and first six months of 2022, due in part to coverage reform in Michigan and high reopen activity in Florida during the first half of 2021.
To address inherent seasonality trends and lessen the effects of month-to-month variability in the commercial auto products, we use a trailing 12-month period in
assessing severity. In the second quarter 2022,2023, our commercial auto products’ incurred severity, excluding our TNC, business,BOP, and Protective Insurance products, increased 12%7%, compared to the same period last year. In addition to general trends in the marketplace, the increase in our commercial auto products’ severity primarily reflects shifts in the mix of business to for-hire transportation, which has higher average severity than the business auto and contractor business market targets. Since the loss patterns in the TNC, businessBOP, and Protective Insurance businesses are not indicative of our other commercial auto products, disclosing severity and frequency trends excluding that businessthose businesses is more representative of our overall experience for the majority of our commercial auto products.
It is a challenge to estimate future severity, but we continue to monitor changes in the underlying costs, such as general inflation, used car prices, vehicle repair costs, medical costs, health care reform, court decisions, and jury verdicts, along with regulatory changes and other factors that may affect severity.
Our personal auto incurred frequency, on a year-over-yearcalendar-year basis, decreased about 8% and 4% forover the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, compared to the sameprior-year periods, last year. Following are the frequency changes we experienced by coverage:was as follows:
•PIP and bodily injury decreased about 11% and 9%, respectively, for the second quarter 2022 and 5% for the first six months of 2022.
•Collision and auto property damage decreased about 10% and 8%, respectively, for the second quarter and 5% and 3% for the first six months of 2022. | | | | | | | | |

Total | 1 | | 0 | |
On a trailing 12-month basis, our commercial auto products’ incurred frequency, excluding Protective Insurance and our TNC business, increased 5%2% during the second quarter 2022,2023, compared to the same period last year. The frequency increase was in part due to an uneven recovery across different commercial auto business markets, many of which have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels and are continuing to see increasing frequency since the COVID-19 pandemic lows.
We closely monitor the changes in frequency, but the degree or direction of near-term frequency change is not something that we are able to predict with any degree of confidence, and this challenge is exacerbated by the uncertainty of the current environment.certainty. We will continue to analyze trends to distinguish changes in our experience from other external factors, such as changes in the number of vehicles per household, miles driven, vehicle usage, gasoline prices, advances in vehicle safety, and unemployment rates, versus those resulting from shifts in the mix of our business or changes in driving patterns, to allow us to react quickly to price for these trends and to reserve more accurately for our loss exposures.

Total development consists of both actuarial adjustments and “all other development” on prior accident years. The actuarial adjustments represent the net changes made by our actuarial staff to both current and prior accident year reserves based on regularly scheduled reviews. Through these reviews, our actuaries identify and measure variances in the projected frequency and severity trends, which allow them to adjust the reserves to reflect the current cost trends.
For our Property business, 100% of catastrophe losses are reviewed monthly, and any development on catastrophe reserves are included as part of the actuarial adjustments. For the Personal Lines and Commercial Lines businesses, development for catastrophe losses in the vehicle businesses would be reflected in “all other development,” discussed below, to the extent they relate to prior year reserves. We report these actuarial adjustments separately for the current and prior accident years to reflect these adjustments as part of the total prior accident years development.
“All other development” represents claims settling for more or less than reserved, emergence of unrecorded claims at rates different than anticipated in our incurred but not recorded (IBNR) reserves, and changes in reserve estimates on specific claims. Although we believe the development from both the actuarial adjustments and “all other development” generally results from the same factors, we are unable to quantify the portion of the reserve development that might be applicable to any one or more of those underlying factors.
About 80% of the total unfavorable development for the first half of 2023 was in our personal auto products. About half of the personal auto unfavorable development was attributable to higher than anticipated severity in auto property and physical damage coverages, while the remaining unfavorable development was primarily due to increased loss costs in Florida injury and medical coverages and, to a lesser extent, higher than anticipated late reported injury claims.
While it is difficult to quantify the direct impact of recent insurance legislation in Florida, for all coverages Florida contributed approximately 40% to the prior accident year reserve development year to date across all personal auto product lines. We continue to believe that the Florida tort reform will likely have a positive impact on the insurance industry in Florida over the long term. We will continue to monitor the ever-changing legislative and regulatory environment and will respond as necessary.
In the property damage coverage, the exposure relates to the costs associated with fixing vehicles. Coverages related to fixing vehicles have seen unprecedented increases in severity trends on previously closed claims, relative to comparable periods last year, and continued to be the major driver of prior year unfavorable development countrywide. The contributors to the increased trends came from a variety of sources, including longer vehicle repair times, longer rental times, and higher parts prices and labor rates. Fixing vehicle coverages are short-tailed, which explains why over 80% of the total year-to-date prior year development is from the 2022 accident year. In fact, excluding Florida, accident years prior to 2022 have developed slightly favorably.
Our current year actuarial adjustments are also primarily due to higher physical damage severity. Since fixing vehicle coverages are short-tailed, most of the claims that are affected by emerging trends have happened in the recent past. As we have moved deeper into the year, the new, steeper trends in fixing vehicle coverages have increasingly affected claims that occurred in the current accident year. Florida litigation has been a relatively small part of current year actuarial adjustments since the increase in litigation largely affected claims that occurred before March 2023. We continue to monitor loss trends across all states and coverages and will remain vigilant to adjust reserves to reflect those trends.
Our Commercial Lines business represented about 20% of the unfavorable development for the first six months of
2023, mainly due to higher than anticipated severity and frequency of late reported injury claims. The trend in loss costs has been steep, as costs for medical care, vehicle repair labor, and parts continue to climb. We believe these inflationary environmental trends will continue for the foreseeable future.
Our objective is to establish case and IBNR reserves that are adequate to cover all loss costs, while incurring minimal variation from the date the reserves are initially established until losses are fully developed. Our ability to meet this objective is impacted by many factors. Changes in case law, particularly in case law related to PIP,personal injury protection, can make it difficult to estimate reserves timely and with minimal variation. See Note 6 – Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves, for a more detailed discussion of our prior accident years development.development and Critical Accounting Policies in our 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders for discussion of the application of estimates and assumptions in the establishment of our loss reserves.
Underwriting Expenses
The companywide underwriting expense ratio (i.e.,Underwriting expenses include policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. The underwriting expense ratio is our underwriting expenses, net of certain fees and other revenues, expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned) decreased 1.8 points forearned. For the second quarter 2022,2023, our underwriting

In total, our companywide advertising spend decreased 7% for both34%, compared to the second quarter 2022, and first4% on a year-to-date basis. The reduction in advertising spend in concert with premium growth reduced the contribution of advertising to our combined ratio by 2.0 points and 0.8 points for the three and six months of 2022,ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods last year in an effortyear. As we continue to improvefocus on profitability, we plan to reachcontinue to manage our 96 combined ratioexpenses and discretionary spend to further our goal and had a 0.9 and 1.0 point, respectively, impact onof achieving our companywide expense ratio. We experienced a decrease in personnel costs primarily resulting from a decrease in our annual cash-incentive Gainshare program accrual, reflecting lower year-to-date segment profitability, which had a 0.9 and 0.8 point, respective, impact on our companywide expense ratio.target profitability.
To analyze underwriting expenses, we also review our non-acquisition expense ratio (NAER), which excludes costs related to policy acquisition, including advertising and agency commissions, from our underwriting expense ratio. By excluding acquisition costs from our underwriting expense ratio, we are able to understand costs other than those necessary to acquire new policies and grow the business. During the second quarter 2023, our NAER decreased 0.5 points, 0.6increased 0.4 points and 0.80.7 points in our Personal Lines, Commercial Lines and Property businesses, respectively, and was flat in Personal Lines, compared to the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, our NAER decreasedincreased 0.2 points, 0.41.1 points, and 0.71.0 points, in our Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, and Property businesses, respectively, compared to the same period last year.
C. Growth
For our underwriting operations, we analyze growth in terms of both premiums and policies. Net premiums written represent the premiums from policies written during the period, less any premiums ceded to reinsurers. Net premiums earned, which are a function of the premiums written in the current and prior periods, are earned as revenue over the life of the policy using a daily earnings convention.

To analyze growth, we review new policies, rate levels, and the retention characteristics of our segments. Although new policies are necessary to maintain a growing book of business, we recognize the importance of retaining our current customers as a critical component of our continued growth.
As shown in the tables below, we measure retention by policy life expectancy. We review our customer retention for our personal auto products using both a trailing 3-month and a trailing 12-month period. We believe changes in policy life expectancy using a trailing 12-month period measure is indicative of recent experience, mitigates the effects of month-to-month variability, and addresses seasonality. Although using a trailing 3-month measure does not addressis sensitive to seasonality and can reflect more volatility, this measure is more responsive to current experience and generally can be an indicator of how our retention rates are moving. We believe the second quarter 2021 year-over-year change in the trailing 3-month policy life expectancy is not representative of true retention activity due to the significant renewal activity during the second quarter 2020, as a result of suspending cancellations of policies for non-payment, and, therefore, we have chosen not to disclose this measure in the tables below as we do not believe the change is meaningful.

NewIn our Personal Lines business, we experienced significant new application growth in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, which we believe was, in part, driven by our Personal Lines products were downcompetitiveness in the marketplace. The increase in new applications during the second quarter and first six months of 2022, with2023 were primarily attributable to our personal auto new application growth down 15% and 21%, respectively, and our special lines new application growth down 7% and 8%. The decrease in personal auto new applications is primarily attributable to the rate actions and underwriting restrictions that began in the second quarter of 2021 and continued through the second quarter 2022. The decrease in special lines new applications primarily reflects a decrease in demand for RV, boat, and motorcycle products as compared to the first half 2021 when sales of these products was strong. We continued to see personal auto and special lines renewal application growth.
Results varied by consumer segment. At the end of the second quarter 2022, Robinsons saw single-digit personal auto policy in force growth, compared to the second quarter last year, while Sams saw a low double-digit decline in policy in force growth. New auto applications experienced a decrease across all four consumer segments, although our special lines products also experienced new application growth in both periods.
Personal auto policies in force grew between 10% and 17% across all consumer segments as of the second quarter year over2023, compared to the same period last year. Quote volume increased in the second quarter, on a year-over-year basis, in all of our consumer segments, except Sams, with all consumer segments seeing a decreased rate of conversion.
During the second quarter 2022, we implemented rate increases in 17 states. In the aggregate,2023, on a countrywide basis, we implemented personal auto net rate increases werein 27 states that, in the aggregate, increased rates about 2% for7%, following rate increases of 4% during the quarter. During the secondfirst quarter 2022, we also reduced advertising spend2023 and tightened underwriting criteria in consumer segments where losses indicated rates are not meeting13% during 2022. We believe that our profitability goals. These actionsprior-year rate increases had and may continue to have a negative impact on our new and renewal business applications and policy life expectancy, in the near term,and as indicatedcompetitors also raised rates, our retention started to lengthen as evidenced by the declinegrowth in theour trailing 3-month3- and trailing 12-month policy life expectancy.
Our written premium per policy increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2022,2023, primarily due to the rate increases which startedtaken in the second quarter 20212022 and continued throughout the first half of 2022.2023, as previously discussed. Our focus on achieving our target underwriting profitability takes precedence over growth. We will continue to manage growth and profitability in accordance with our long-standing goal of growing as fast as we can, as long as we can provide greathigh-quality customer service, at or below a companywide 96 combined ratio on a calendar-year basis. During the second quarter 2023, we started to take additional measures to achieve our target profit margin that included slowing new business growth through verification activities, bill plan offerings, and through continued general operational expense discipline. In addition to potentially slowing growth, some of these actions could reduce our retention.
We report our Agency and Direct business results separately as components of our Personal Lines segment to provide further understanding of our products by distribution channel. The channel discussions below are focused on personal auto insurance since this product accounted for 91%92% and 93% of the Personal Lines segment net premiums written during the second quarter and first six months of 2022,2023, respectively.

In addition, we increased rates an average of about 4% in our Property segment during the second quarter 2022.

This information, combined with the continued extent of the weather-related losses, prompted us to reevaluate the portion of goodwill assigned to our Property business for impairment, resulting in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $224.8 million during the second quarter 2022, which represented the entire amount of goodwill assigned to the ARX reporting unit.
In addition to rate increases, as part of the underwriting changes discussed above, during the second quarter 2022 our written premium per policy, increased, compared to the same period last year,second quarter and first six months of 2022, was primarily due to a shift inrate increases taken over the mix of business towardlast 12 months and providing coveragehigher premium coverages to higher valued properties.account for inflation. The written premium per policy impact from rate increases and underwriting changes wereincrease was partially offset by a shift in the mix of business to a larger share of renters policies, which have lower written premiums per policy. Our policy, life expectancy decreased from the same period last year, primarily due to the targeted rate increasesand less homeowners growth in volatile states where we were not achieving our profitability targets.that have higher average premiums. We intend to continue to make targeted rate increases in states where we believe it is necessary to achieve our profitability targets.
G. Income Taxes
At June 30, 2023, we had recoverable income taxes of $44.0 million, which were reported in other assets, compared to net current income taxes payable of $114.0 million and $10.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which were reported in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. This balance may fluctuate between an asset and a liability from period to period due to normal timing differences.
A deferred tax asset or liability is a tax benefit or expense, respectively, that is expected to be realized in a future period.tax return. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, and December 31, 2022, we reported a net federal deferred tax asset, comparedassets of $1.2 billion, $1.0 billion, and $1.1 billion, respectively.
We are required to net federalassess our deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 2021assets for recoverability and, December 31, 2021. The changebased on our analysis, determined that we did not need a valuation allowance on our gross deferred tax assets in each period. Although realization of the gross deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets will be realized based on our expectation we will be able to afully utilize the deductions that are ultimately recognized for tax purposes. We believe our deferred asset from a deferred liability was primarily duetax assets related to net unrealized losses on fixed-maturity securities in the fixed-income and equity portfolios. At June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had net current income taxes payable of $114.0 million and $37.2 million, respectively, which were reported as part of accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2021, we reported recoverable income taxes of $19.2 million, which was reflected as part of other assets. The taxes payable/recoverable vary from period to periodwill be realized based on the amountexistence of estimated taxes paid.prior-year capital gains, current temporary differences related to unrealized gains in our equity portfolio, and other tax planning strategies.
TheOur effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, was 14.6%20.7% and 6.8%19.9%, respectively, compared to 20.9%14.6% and 20.8%6.8% for the same periods last year. Excluding the effect of the goodwill impairment, which was a one-time charge, theThe lower effective tax raterates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were 22.6% and 79.9%, respectively. The higher effective rates for the current quarter and year, excludingin part due to the goodwill impairment charge, are in part due topartially offset by our permanent tax differences having a greater impact on the effective rate given our pretax loss compared to pretax income infor the same periods last year.periods.
Consistent with prior years, we had no uncertain tax positions. See Note 5 – Income Taxes for further information.
IV. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – INVESTMENTS
A. Investment Results
Our management philosophy governing the portfolio is to evaluate investment results on a total return basis. The fully taxable equivalent (FTE) total return includes recurring investment income, adjusted to a fully taxable amount for certain securities that receive preferential tax treatment (e.g., municipal securities), and total net realized, and changes in total net unrealized, gains (losses) on securities.
The following table summarizes investment results for the periods ended June 30:

The increase in the book yield for both periods, compared to last year, for both periods,primarily reflected investing new cash from operations and proceeds from maturing bonds at higher interest rates, and an increase in interest rates on our floating ratefloating-rate securities. The decreaseincrease in the fixed-income total return for both periods, compared to last year, primarily reflected the impact of risinginterest rate movement and only a moderate increase in interest rates during the last twelve months, as well as widening credit spreads.second quarter 2023. The increase in common stocks reflected general market conditions.

1 Represents ratings at period end. Credit quality ratings are assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. To calculate the weighted average credit quality ratings, we weight individual securities based on fair value and assign a numeric score of 0-5, with non-investment-grade and non-rated securities assigned a score of 0-1. To the extent the weighted average of the ratings falls between AAA and AA+, we assign an internal rating of AAA-.
2 Includes $0, $412.1 million, and $143.4At June 30, 2023, we had $248.0 million of net unsettled security purchase transactions included in other liabilities, compared to $34.4 million included in other assets at December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2022, and 2021, and December 31, 2021, respectively, with the offsetting payable included in other liabilities.our net unsettled security transactions were $0.
The total fair value of the portfolio at June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and December 31, 2021,2022, included $4.3 billion, $4.9 billion, $3.3 billion, and $4.2$4.4 billion, respectively, of securities held in a consolidated, non-insurance subsidiary of the holding company, net of unsettled security transactions.
Our asset allocation strategy is to maintain 0%-25% of our portfolio in Group I securities, with the balance (75%-100%) of our portfolio in Group II securities.
We define Group I securities to include:
•common equities,
•nonredeemable preferred stocks,
•redeemable preferred stocks, except for 50% of investment-grade redeemable preferred stocks with cumulative dividends, which are included in Group II, and
•all other non-investment-grade fixed-maturity securities.
Group II securities include:
•short-term securities, and
•all other fixed-maturity securities, including 50% of the investment-grade redeemable preferred stocks with cumulative dividends.
We believe this asset allocation strategy allows us to appropriately assess the risks associated with these securities for capital purposes and is in line with the treatment by our regulators.
The following table shows the composition of our Group I and Group II securities:

1 We did not hold any non-investment-grade redeemable preferred stocks at June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, or December 31, 2021.2022.
To determine the allocation between Group I and Group II, we use the credit ratings from models provided by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to classify our residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, excluding interest-only (IO) securities, and the credit ratings from nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSRO) to classify all other debt securities. NAIC ratings are based on a model that considers the book price of our securities when assessing the probability of future losses in assigning a credit rating. As a result, NAIC ratings can vary from credit ratings issued by NRSROs. Management believes NAIC ratings more accurately reflect our risk profile when determining the asset allocation between Group I and Group II securities.
The decrease in the percentage of Group I securities since year end was driven by sales and valuation declines in our common equity portfolio with the proceeds from the common stock sales and the $1.5 billion debt offering in March 2022, reinvested in Group II short-term investments.
Unrealized Gains and Losses
As of June 30, 2022,2023, our fixed-maturity portfolio had pretaxtotal after-tax net unrealized losses, which are recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets, of $2,776.4 million,$2.6 billion, compared to net unrealized gains of $638.8 million$2.2 billion and $71.4 million$2.8 billion at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. The decreasesincrease in net unrealized losses from both periods in 2021 wereJune 30, 2022, was primarily due to increasinga lower valuation on our U.S. Treasury portfolio as interest rates acrosshave increased. The decrease in our fixed-maturity portfolionet unrealized loss from December 31, 2022 through June 30, 2023, was primarily due to higher valuations on our corporate debt and wider credit spreads outside of our short-term and Treasuryother asset-backed portfolios.

Fixed-Income Securities
The fixed-income portfolio is managed internally and includes fixed-maturity securities, short-term investments, and nonredeemable preferred stocks.
Following are the primary exposures for our fixed-income portfolio. Details of our policies related to these exposures can be found in the

LTV= loan to value | | | | | | | | | |
DSCR= debt service coverage ratio | | | | | | | | | |
1The floating-rate securities were extended to their full maturity and fixed-rate securities are shown to their anticipated repayment date (if applicable) or otherwise, their maturity date.
We show the average loan to value (LTV) of each maturity year when the loans were originated. The LTV ratio that management uses, which is commonly expressed as a percentage, compares the size of the entire mortgage loan to the appraised value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan at issuance. A LTV ratio less than 100% indicates excess collateral value over the loan amount. LTV ratios greater than 100% indicate that the loan amount exceeds the collateral value. We believe this ratio provides a conservative view of our actual risk of loss, as this number displays the entire mortgage LTV, while our ownership is only a portion of the structure of the mortgage loan-backed security. For many of the mortgage loans in our portfolio, our exposure is in a more senior part of the structure, which means that the LTV on our actual exposure is even lower than the ratios presented.
In addition to the LTV ratio, we also examine the credit of our CMBS portfolio by reviewing the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of the securities. The DSCR ratio compares the underlying property’s annual net operating income to its annual debt service payments. DSCR ratios less than 1.0 times indicate that property operations do not generate enough income over the debt service payments, while a DSCR ratio greater than 1.0 times indicates that there is an excess of operating income over the debt service payments. A number above 1.0 generally indicates that there would not be on SASB with high-quality collateralan incentive for the borrower to default in light of the borrower’s excess income.

The majority of our preferred securitiesstocks have fixed-rate dividends until a call date and then, if not called, generally convert to floating-rate dividends. The interest rate duration of our preferred securitiesstocks is calculated to reflect the call, floor, and floating-ratefloating rate features. Although a preferred securitystock will remain outstanding if not called, its interest rate duration will reflect the variable nature of the dividend. Our non-investment-grade preferred stocks were all with issuers that maintain investment-grade senior debt ratings.
We also face the risk that dividend payments on our preferred stock holdingsany of these securities could be deferred for one or more periods or skipped entirely.As of June 30, 2022,2023, we expect all of our preferredthese securities continued to pay their dividends in full and on time. During the second quarter, our preferred portfolio declined to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2023 from $1.3 billion at March 31, 2023. This decline was primarily due to preferred stocks that were called or sold because they had less attractive risk/reward profiles. Approximately 81%82% of our preferred stock securitiesstocks pay dividends that have tax preferential characteristics, while the balance pay dividends that are fully taxable.
During the second quarter 2022, the portfolio market valuation decreased as credit spreads widened, interest rates increased, and we sold some preferred positions. We primarily sold nonredeemable preferred securities with less attractive risk/reward profiles.
