Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016
Filed February 17, 2017
File No. 000-15886
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
This letter provides additional information in response to the Division of Corporation Finance’s comment letter dated January 5, 2018 (the “Comment Letter”), in which you requested additional information based on your review of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 10-K”). It is being submitted as a supplement to, and amends in part, the Company’s response letter dated February 5, 2018 (the “Prior Response Letter”) and is based on conversations with the Staff to better clarify and address the matters raised in the Comment Letter. For ease of reference, the comment included in the Comment Letter is repeated below in italicized type, and our response addressing matters raised in subsequent conversations with the Staff immediately follows the comment. Any terms capitalized herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Response Letter.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 5. Reserves for Losses and LAE, page F-22
We acknowledge your response to our prior comment 1 in our November 17, 2017 letter, however, please explain to us why the decrease in estimated losses and LAE for claims occurring in prior years of $28.5 million for 2016 as shown in the table summarizing activity for your reserves for losses and LAE on page F-22 differs significantly from the 2016 loss development implicit in the tables on pages F-25 to F-31, which appear to indicate a net reserve strengthening of $10.3 million. In particular, provide us reconciliations of the 2016 amounts per the table on page F-22 showing the reporting and operating segment breakdowns of prior period net reserve strengthening (releases) to the 2016 reserve development inherent in the tables on pages F-28 to F-31 for each of the three operating segments within the international insurance reporting segment and for the globalre reporting segment.
Supplemental Response:
As noted in the Prior Response Letter, the Company relies on Lloyd’s IT systems to process the business of the Company’s Lloyd’s Syndicate 1221. The Lloyd’s system does not retain claim data by accident year and prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-09, the Company did not retain such data in its own systems. Since ASC 944-40-50-4B was a new requirement for the Company, we thought it was reasonable to use the best information available as of December 31, 2016 to generate the supplemental loss development tables on pages F-28 to F-31. This included information that became known to the Company after a reporting year in the supplemental loss development tables for a claim that occurred in such reporting year.
By using information obtained after a given reporting year, the tables do provide information to users about the pattern of loss emergence over time, but information on variability is eliminated. For instance, for each Syndicate 1221 claim, if
1
the loss date was available as of a reporting date, we used that date to determine the allocation to accident year. However, if the claim was reported on a bordereau, the specific loss date may not have been initially available, in which case we used policy or report date. These bordereau claims may later mature into a large loss claim, at which point additional information related to the claim, including the loss date, is entered into the system and can be used for the allocation. This could lead to significant differences in the incurred losses reported within the supplemental loss development tables from one reporting period to the next since one claim could appear in a different accident year in a subsequent reporting period.
Upon further consideration, the Company has prepared revised supplemental loss development tables from the available Syndicate 1221 data, which affects the International Marine, International P&C, International Professional Liability and Global Re supplemental loss development tables in Note 5. These supplemental loss development tables were prepared using an alternative allocation process and are attached hereto as Exhibit A, along with additional tables that reflect the difference between the revised supplemental loss development tables and the original supplemental loss development tables in our 2016 10-K.
Under the alternative allocation process, the Company developed a process to allocate the Syndicate 1221 incurred claims to individual prior accident years using only data known at the end of such year. Unlike in our original allocation process, we did not use any information about a particular claim that we obtained after the end of the reporting period in which it was originally reported. This is consistent with what would have been reported in the incurred claims supplemental loss development tables had ASC 944-40-50-4B been effective in those prior reporting periods.
Given our ongoing review of the guidance in ASC 944-40-50-4B, we propose to use this alternative allocation process for the 2015 and prior reporting periods in relation to our Syndicate 1221 business as incorporated in the International Marine, International P&C, International Professional Liability and Global Re supplemental loss development tables in Note 5. While our original allocation process provided information regarding the systematic nature of loss emergence, this alternative process provides a closer estimate of loss development as presented in the table on page F-22 of the 2016 10-K, as demonstrated by the reconciliation tables attached hereto as Exhibit B, and also provides additional information on variability for the specific reporting segment as each accident year matures. We note that we have not made any changes to the net paid claims supplemental loss development tables in our 2016 10-K.
Additionally, to provide the users of the financial statements with an understanding of the effect of the limitations of the data from our Syndicate 1221 business for the reporting years 2015 and prior in the supplemental loss development tables, as well as the allocation process we used for those reporting years, we have included updated proposed disclosure for Note 5 attached hereto as Exhibit C. We also reiterate, as stated in the Prior Response Letter, the process the Company currently has in place to capture and retain more detailed data for the reporting years 2016 and forward will eliminate any discrepancies going forward between the rollforward table on page F -22 and the supplemental loss development tables.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss any of the information included herein should you desire. If you have any questions or comments concerning this response letter, please contact the undersigned at (203) 905-6343 (cdefalco@navg.com) or Emily Miner at (203) 905-6369 (eminer@navg.com).

Note 5. Reserves for Losses and LAE – Page F-24
The information provided in our supplemental tables related to short duration contracts includes estimates. Prior to the 2016 calendar year, records for Syndicate 1221 were not available by individual Accident Year (AY), which impacts the presentation of our Int’l Insurance and, to a limited extent, our Global Re supplemental tables for 2015 and prior reporting years. For this 2017 calendar year report, we revised and improved the allocation process used in our 2016 presentation in relation to our Syndicate 1221 business. For the 2016 calendar year report, we applied an allocation process using inception to date gross paid and case information through 2016 to extrapolate the data for reporting years 2012 through 2015 in our supplemental tables. Upon further consideration, for 2017 reporting, the Company developed a process to allocate the Syndicate 1221 incurred claims to individual prior accident years using only data known as of the end of such year.
While the estimation process used in 2016 provided information regarding the systematic nature of loss emergence, the revised and improved process applied in the current calendar year more accurately reflects information on variability of loss emergence from period to period. We believe that this process is more aligned with the objectives of this disclosure, and the total amounts reported in the rollforward table in Note 5. Beginning in the 2016 calendar year, the Company implemented a process for the business underwritten through Syndicate 1221 that captures and retains more detailed incurred claim data to enable it to assign AY information as accurately and completely as possible using the data available.
In addition, due to the limitations of the data available for our Syndicate 1221 business, the supplemental tables below for our Int’l Insurance reporting segment begin with the 2012 reporting year and will increase by one year until ten years are presented. Our GlobalRe reporting segment’s supplemental tables do not have data prior to the 2009 reporting year, as we began our assumed reinsurance GlobalRe initiative in 2010. A small portion of business written by Syndicate 1221 in calendar year 2009 was allocated to the reporting segment.
