Reinsurance Recoverables
($ in millions)
| | September 30, 2004 | | December 31, 2003 | |
Gross reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses | | $ | 12,430 | | $ | 6,946 | |
Allowance for uncollectible reinsurance | | (727 | ) | (387 | ) |
Net reinsurance recoverables | | 11,703 | | 6,559 | |
Mandatory pools and associations | | 2,486 | | 2,204 | |
Structured settlements | | 3,961 | | 2,411 | |
Total reinsurance recoverables | | $ | 18,151 | | $ | 11,174 | |
The gross reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses represent the current and estimated future amounts due from reinsurers on known and unasserted claims.The ceded reserves are estimated in a manner consistent with the underlying direct and assumed reserves.Although this total comprises recoverables due from nearly one thousand different reinsurance entities, about half is attributable to 10 reinsurer groups.
The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing, and other relevant factors.
The mandatory pools and associations represent various involuntary assigned risk pools that the Company is required to participate in.These pools principally involve workers’ compensation and automobile insurance, which provide various insurance coverages to insureds that otherwise are unable to purchase coverage in the open market.The costs of these mandatory pools in most states are usually charged back to the participating members in proportion to voluntary writings of related business in that state.In the event that a member of the pool becomes insolvent, the remaining members assume an additional pro rata share of the pool’s liabilities.
The structured settlements represent annuities that are purchased from life insurance companies to settle personal physical injury claims, with workers’ compensation claims comprising a significant proportion.The Company retains the ultimate liability to the claimant in the event that the assigned company fails to pay, so the amount is reflected as a liability and as a recoverable for GAAP purposes.
During the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to settle all current and future reinsurance claims against certain underwriters at Lloyds of London reinsured by Equitas.Under terms of this settlement, the Company received $245 million, resolving approximately $255 million of Travelers’ net claim balances from Equitas.If federal asbestos reform legislation is enacted by the 108th U.S. Congress, Equitas may elect to recoup $150 million from Travelers and, if Equitas makes that election, the reinsurance agreements for asbestos coverage will be reinstated.As a result, these funds are being held in trust, and the related reinsurance recoverables and reserves will remain on the balance sheet until the contingency is resolved.There are no contingencies related to the remaining $95 million, which has been reflected as a reduction to the reinsurance recoverable.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with a reinsurer to settle all current and future reinsurance claims related to various treaty reinsurance programs.This commutation agreement resolves $1.069 billion in net claim balances from this reinsurer and has been reflected as a reduction in the reinsurance recoverable.In addition to the commutation, the Company entered into a new reinsurance agreement covering the 2000 accident year for the former St. Paul companies on an aggregate basis.

Financial Supplement - Third Quarter 2004
All historical information through the first quarter of 2004 included in this Financial Supplement presents only results of Travelers as Travelers is being treated as the accounting acquirer. Where applicable, historical results conform with current business segment definitions.
The following measures are used by the Company’s management to evaluate financial performance against historical results and establish targets on a consolidated basis. These measures are components of net income but, in some cases, are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the consolidated statement of income or required to be disclosed in the notes to financial statements, and in some cases, require inclusion or exclusion of certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in a GAAP financial measure. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of these measures provides investors with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company’s periodic results of operations and how management evaluates the Company’s financial performance.
Operating income and operating income per share is net income excluding the after-tax impact of net realized investment gains (losses) and on a per share basis.
Return on equity is the ratio of net income to average equity. Operating return on adjusted equity is the ratio of operating income to average equity excluding net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, net of tax.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, operating income, operating income per share and operating return on equity are meaningful indicators of underwriting and operating results. These measures exclude net realized investment gains or losses which can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Internally the Company’s management uses operating income, operating income per share and operating return on equity to evaluate performance against historical results and established financial targets on a consolidated basis.
Underwriting gain or loss is the profit or loss experienced by a property casualty company after deducting claims and claim adjustment expenses and insurance-related expenses from net earned premiums and fee income. This profit or loss calculation includes reinsurance assumed and ceded but excludes net investment income.
A catastrophe is a severe loss, resulting from natural and manmade events, including risks such as fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorism and other similar events. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics. Catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or amount in advance, and therefore their effects are not included in earnings or claims and claim adjustment expense reserves prior to occurrence. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of the impact of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability in periodic earnings.
Loss reserve development is the increase or decrease in incurred claims and claim adjustment expenses as a result of the re-estimation of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves at successive valuation dates for a given group of claims. Loss reserve development may be related to prior year or current year development. In the opinion of the Company's management, discussion of prior year loss reserve development is useful to investors as it allows them to assess the impact between prior year and current year development on current earnings and changes in claims and claim adjustment expense reserve levels from period to period.
GAAP combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio (loss and LAE ratio), the underwriting expense ratio and, where applicable, the ratio of dividends to policyholders to net premiums earned. For GAAP, the loss and LAE ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses reduced by an allocation of fee income to net earned premiums. The underwriting expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses incurred reduced by an allocation of fee income to net earned premium. A GAAP combined ratio under 100% generally indicates an underwriting profit. A GAAP combined ratio over 100% generally indicates an underwriting loss. The GAAP combined ratio is an operating statistic that includes GAAP measures in the numerator and the denominator.
Pro forma combined net written premium reflects the addition of net written premiums of the St. Paul and Travelers for periods prior to the merger. The pro forma combined net written premium amounts are not affected by purchase accounting adjustments. Net written premiums are a measure of business volume. The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition and related transactions been made on the dates indicated, or of future results of the Company.
Adjusted book value per share represents assets less liabilities excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses, divided by the number of shares outstanding. In the opinion of the Company’s management, adjusted book value is useful in an analysis of a preperty-casualty company’s book value on a nominal basis as it removes the effect of changing prices on invested assets, which do not have an equivalent impact on unpaid claims and claim adjustment expense reserves.
St. Paul Travelers has organized its businesses into the following operating and reporting segments, beginning with the second quarter 2004:
Commercial: Commercial — Core offers a broad array of property and casualty insurance and insurance-related services and is organized into the following three marketing and underwriting groups focusing on a particular client base or product grouping to provide products and services that specifically address clients’ needs: Commercial Accounts, Select Accounts and National Accounts. Commercial - Other includes policies written by Gulf, primarily management and professional liability coverages (prior to the integration of these products into Specialty in April 2004), the Special Liability Group and runoff operations.
Specialty provides dedicated underwriting, claim and risk control services that require specialized expertise, domestically and internationally. Domestic Specialty includes Financial Professional Services, Bond, Construction, Technology, Ocean Marine, Oil and Gas, Public Sector, and Excess and Umbrella among others. International Specialty includes operations in the U.K., Ireland, Canada, and the company’s participation in Lloyds.
Personal writes virtually all types of property and casualty insurance covering personal risks. The primary coverages in this segment are personal automobile and homeowners insurance sold to individuals.
Asset Management comprises Nuveen Investments, whose core businesses are asset management and related research, as well as the development, marketing and distribution of investment products and services for the affluent, high net worth and institutional market segments. The Company holds a 79% interest in Nuveen Investments.
* * * * *
Prior quarter segments have been restated from the historical presentation of Travelers to conform to the new St. Paul Travelers segment arrangement where practicable. As a result, prior quarter Bond and Construction results were disaggregated from historical Travelers Commercial Lines segment to create a historical Specialty segment and to restate Commercial into the new format.
Invested and other assets and net investment income (NII) of historical Travelers had been specifically identified by reporting segment prior to the merger. Beginning in the second quarter 2004, the Company developed a methodology to allocate NII and invested assets to the identified segments. This methodology allocates pretax NII based upon an investable funds concept, which takes into account liabilities (net of non-invested assets) and appropriate capital considerations for each segment. It is not practicable to apply the methodology to historical businesses and as such, actual (versus allocated) NII is included in revenues and operating income of the restated segments for periods prior to the merger. It is also not practicable to present total assets for restated Specialty and Commercial segments for periods prior to the merger. The Company believes that the differences, if any, are not significant to a comparison with the new segment presentation.
