Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. (“THG” or the “Company”), include the accounts of The Hanover Insurance Company (“Hanover Insurance”) and Citizens Insurance Company of America (“Citizens”), THG’s principal property and casualty companies; and other insurance and non-insurance subsidiaries. These legal entities conduct their operations through several business segments discussed in Note 12 – “Segment Information.” The consolidated financial statements also include the Company’s discontinued operations, consisting primarily of the Company’s former accident and health and life insurance businesses and our former Chaucer operations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of the Company’s management these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations. B. Investments Fixed maturities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The amortized cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Equity securities are carried at fair value . Increases and decreases in fair value are reported in net income. Other investments consist primarily of mortgage participations and limited partnerships. Mortgage participations represent interests in commercial mortgage loans originated and serviced by a third-party of which the Company shares, on a pro-rata basis, in all related cash flows of the underlying mortgage loans. Mortgage participations are stated at unpaid principal balances adjusted for deferred fees or expenses, net of an allowance for credit losses. Investments in limited partnerships include interests in private equity and real estate funds. Investments in limited partnership interests purchased prior to January 1, 2018, where the Company’s interest is so minor that it exercises virtually no influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for at fair value utilizing the net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient to determine fair value. All other limited partnerships are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The Company excludes accrued interest receivable from both the estimated fair value and the amortized cost basis of its investment securities, and reports such amounts separately on the consolidated balance sheets as accrued investment income. When an accrued interest receivable is deemed uncollectible it is written off as a charge to investment income, rather than recorded through an allowance. Net investment income includes interest, dividends and income from limited partnership interests. Interest income is recognized based on the effective yield method, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. The effective yield used to determine the amortization for fixed maturities subject to prepayment risk, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, is recalculated and adjusted periodically based upon actual historical and projected future cash flows. The adjustment to yields for highly rated prepayable fixed maturities is accounted for using the retrospective method. The adjustment to yields for all other prepayable fixed maturities is accounted for using the prospective method. Fixed maturities and mortgage participations for which payments are delinquent are placed on non-accrual status, and thereafter interest income is recognized only when cash payments are received. Realized investment gains and losses on sales are reported as a component of revenues based upon specific identification of the investment assets sold. Impairments are reported as realized investment losses, and include credit losses (and any subsequent recoveries) on fixed maturities and mortgage participations, and intend-to-sell impairment losses on fixed maturities. Changes in the fair value of equity securities are reported in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), including increases and decreases in fair value on securities that are still held and realized gains and losses on securities that have been sold. The Company reviews fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position and assesses whether it intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the debt security meets either of these two criteria, an intend-to-sell impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment measurement date. If neither of the above criteria are met, the credit loss portion of the unrealized loss is recorded through earnings and the non-credit portion remains in other comprehensive income. Credit losses are estimated by comparing the amortized cost of the fixed maturity security with the net present value of the security’s projected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the investment prior to impairment. The non-credit portion of the impairment is equal to the difference between the fair value and the net present value of the security’s cash flows at the impairment measurement date. Until January 1, 2020, intend-to-sell impairments and credit losses on fixed maturities resulted in a reduction of the amortized cost basis of the security, and reversal of an impairment was not allowed. Beginning January 1, 2020, credit losses are recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than an adjustment to amortized cost. Recoveries of impairments on fixed maturities are recognized as reversals of the allowance for credit loss and are no longer accreted as investment income through an adjustment to investment yield. The allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount that fair value is less than amortized cost and therefore, increases in the fair value of investments due to reasons other than credit could result in decreases in the allowance and an increase in net income. Mortgage participations are pooled by similar risk characteristics and evaluated for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using expected loss rates, which vary based on risk factors such as property type, geographic market, and loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios. C. Financial Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including debt, investments, such as fixed maturities, equity securities and mortgage loans, investment and loan commitments, and certain derivative contracts. These instruments involve credit risk and could also be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses. D . Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. E. Deferred Acquisition Costs Acquisition costs consist of commissions, underwriting costs and other costs, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the successful production of premiums. Acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the insurance policies. Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) for each operating segment are reviewed to determine if the costs are recoverable from future income, including investment income. If such costs are determined to be unrecoverable, they are expensed at the time of determination. Although recoverability of DAC is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be recovered. The amount of DAC considered recoverable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of total revenues discussed above are reduced or permanently impaired as a result of a disposition of a line of business. The amount of amortization of DAC could be revised in the near term if any of the estimates discussed above are revised. F. Reinsurance Recoverables The Company shares certain insurance risks it has underwritten, through the use of reinsurance contracts, with various insurance entities. Reinsurance accounting is followed for ceded transactions when the risk transfer provisions of ASC 944, Financial Services – Insurance . G. Property, Equipment, Capitalized Software AND LEASES Property, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is generally provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 3 to 30 years. The estimated useful life for capitalized software is generally 5 to 7 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The Company has entered into operating and financing leases through which it uses “right-of-use” assets that are recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally provided using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 4 to 6 years for real estate and fleet leases. The Company tests for the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment losses only to the extent that the carrying amounts of long-lived assets exceed the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. When an impairment loss occurs, the Company reduces the carrying value of the asset to fair value and no longer depreciates the asset. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. H. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company carries its goodwill at cost, net of amortization accumulated prior to January 1, 2002, and net of impairments. Increases to goodwill are generated through acquisition and represent the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired, including any intangibles acquired. Since January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but, rather, is reviewed for impairment. Additionally, acquisitions can also produce intangible assets, which have either a definite or indefinite life. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over that life, whereas those intangible assets determined to have an indefinite life are reviewed at least annually for impairment. The Company tests for the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment losses only to the extent that the carrying amounts of reporting units with goodwill exceed the fair value. The amount of the impairment loss that would be recognized is determined based upon the excess of the carrying value of goodwill compared to the implied fair value of the goodwill, as determined with respect to all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The Company has performed its annual review of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment in the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2020 with no impairments recognized. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company held goodwill of $178.8 million and intangible assets with indefinite lives of $15.0 million. I. LIABILITIES FOR LOSSES, LAE AND UNEARNED PREMIUMS Liabilities for outstanding claims, losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) are estimates of payments to be made for reported losses and LAE and estimates of losses and LAE incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). These liabilities are determined using case basis evaluations and statistical analyses of historical loss patterns, and represent estimates of the ultimate cost of all losses incurred but not paid. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary; adjustments are reflected in current operations. Estimated amounts of salvage and subrogation on unpaid losses are deducted from the liability for unpaid claims. Premiums for direct and assumed business are reported as earned on a pro-rata basis over the contract period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums. All losses, LAE and unearned premium liabilities are based on the various estimates discussed in this note. Although the adequacy of these amounts cannot be assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that these liabilities and accruals will be sufficient to meet future obligations of policies in force. The amount of liabilities and accruals, however, could be revised in the near-term if the estimates discussed above are revised. J. Debt The Company’s debt at December 31, 2021 includes senior and subordinated debentures. Debt instruments are carried at principal amount borrowed, net of any applicable unamortized discounts and issuance costs. See Note 5 – “Debt and Credit Arrangements.” K. Premium, Premium Receivable, Fee Revenue and Related Expenses Insurance premiums written are generally recorded at the policy inception and are primarily earned on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the policies for all products. Premiums written may also include estimates that are derived from multiple sources, which include the historical experience of the underlying business, similar businesses, and available industry information. These estimates are regularly reviewed and updated, and any resulting adjustments are included in the current year’s results. Unearned premium reserves represent the portion of premiums written that relates to the unexpired terms of the underlying in-force insurance policies and reinsurance contracts. Premium receivables reflect the unpaid balance of premiums written as of the balance sheet date. Premium receivables are generally short-term in nature and are reported net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible premium accounts. The Company reviews its receivables for collectability at the balance sheet date. The allowance for uncollectible accounts was not material as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Ceded premiums are charged to income over the applicable term of the various reinsurance contracts with third-party reinsurers. Reinsurance reinstatement premiums, when required, are recognized in the same period as the loss event that gave rise to the reinstatement premiums. Losses and related expenses are matched with premiums, resulting in their recognition over the lives of the contracts. This matching is accomplished through estimated and unpaid losses and amortization of deferred acquisition costs. L. Income Taxes The Company is subject to the tax laws and regulations of the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions, as well as foreign jurisdictions in which it operates or where it operated previously. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return that includes the holding company and its U.S. subsidiaries. Generally, taxes are accrued at the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% for income from the U.S. operations. The Company accrues taxes on certain non-U.S. income that is subject to U.S. tax at the enacted U.S. tax rate. Foreign tax credits, where available, were utilized to offset U.S. tax, as permitted. The Company’s accounting for income taxes represents its best estimate of various events and transactions. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by ASC 740, Income Taxes The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Consideration is given to all available positive and negative evidence, including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Valuation allowances are established if, based on available information, it is determined that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are generally reflected in income tax expense or as an adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the nature of the item for which the valuation allowance is being recorded. M. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes the fair value of compensation costs for all share-based payments, including employee stock options, in the financial statements. Unvested awards are generally expensed on a straight-line basis, by tranche, over the vesting period of the award. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are discussed further in Note 9 – “Stock-Based Compensation Plans.” N. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share (“EPS”) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is based on a weighted average of the number of shares outstanding during each year. Basic and diluted EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic EPS differ from the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS due to the effect of dilutive employee stock options, nonvested stock grants, and other contingently issuable shares. If the effect of such items is antidilutive, the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS would be equal to those used to calculate basic EPS. Options to purchase shares of common stock whose exercise prices are greater than the average market price of the common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive. O. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Implemented Standards In October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Update No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs In January 2020, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) In December 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes changes in tax laws, business combinations and employee stock plans, among others. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-14 (Topic 715-20) Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for the Defined Benefit Plans.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, fixed maturities with fair values of $106.6 million and $103.9 million, respectively, were held as collateral for the FHLB collateralized borrowing program. See Note 5 — “Debt and Credit Arrangements” for additional information related to the Company’s FHLB program. Additionally, at December 31, 2021 and 2020, fixed maturities with fair values of $303.4 million and $315.2 million, respectively, were on deposit with various state governmental authorities or trustees. The amortized cost and fair value by maturity periods for fixed maturities are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, or the Company may have the right to put or sell the obligations back to the issuers.

FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES IN AN UNREALIZED LOSS POSITION The following tables provide information about the Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2021 and 2020, including the length of time the securities have been in an unrealized loss position: DECEMBER 31, 2021 12 months or less Greater than 12 months Total (in millions) Gross Gross Gross Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Losses Value Losses Value Losses Value Investment grade: U.S. Treasury and government agencies $ 2.3 $ 98.0 $ 5.1 $ 101.3 $ 7.4 $ 199.3 Municipal 7.9 480.8 0.1 2.5 8.0 483.3 Corporate 13.6 599.6 0.4 7.5 14.0 607.1 Residential mortgage-backed 11.0 653.5 — — 11.0 653.5 Commercial mortgage-backed 4.6 204.0 — — 4.6 204.0 Asset-backed 1.4 91.5 — — 1.4 91.5 Total investment grade 40.8 2,127.4 5.6 111.3 46.4 2,238.7 Below investment grade: Corporate 1.6 95.8 — — 1.6 95.8 Total fixed maturities $ 42.4 $ 2,223.2 $ 5.6 $ 111.3 $ 48.0 $ 2,334.5 DECEMBER 31, 2020 12 months or less Greater than 12 months Total (in millions) Gross Gross Gross Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Losses Value Losses Value Losses Value Investment grade: U.S. Treasury and government agencies $ 2.0 $ 140.7 $ — $ — $ 2.0 $ 140.7 Municipal 0.1 19.3 — 0.7 0.1 20.0 Corporate 0.4 53.4 — — 0.4 53.4 Residential mortgage-backed 0.6 94.4 — — 0.6 94.4 Commercial mortgage-backed 0.2 33.2 — — 0.2 33.2 Total investment grade 3.3 341.0 — 0.7 3.3 341.7 Below investment grade: Corporate — 4.6 — — — 4.6 Total fixed maturities $ 3.3 $ 345.6 $ — $ 0.7 $ 3.3 $ 346.3 The Company views gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities as non-credit related and through its assessment of unrealized losses has determined that these securities will recover, allowing the Company to realize the anticipated long-term economic value. The Company currently does not intend to sell, nor does it expect to be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. The Company employs a systematic methodology to evaluate declines in fair value below amortized cost for fixed maturity securities. In determining impairments, the Company evaluates several factors and circumstances, including the issuer’s overall financial condition; the issuer’s credit and financial strength ratings; the issuer’s financial performance, including earnings trends and asset quality; any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer; the general outlook for market conditions in the industry or geographic region in which the issuer operates; and the degree to which the fair value of an issuer’s securities is below the Company’s amortized cost. The Company also considers any factors that might raise doubt about the issuer’s ability to make contractual payments as they come due and whether the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. D . OTHER INVESTMENTS The Company’s mortgage participations and other mortgage loans were $434.0 million and $467.6 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Participating interests in commercial mortgage loans are originated and serviced by a third-party. For these investments, the Company shares, on a pro-rata basis, in all related cash flows of the underlying mortgages. Mortgage participations and other mortgage loans were comprised of the following property types and geographic locations.

Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties, and loans may be refinanced. During 2021, the Company did not refinance any loans based on terms that differed from current market rates. In determining estimated credit losses on mortgage participations and other loans, the Company evaluates several factors, including credit risk. The amortized cost of mortgage participations and other loans by credit ratings and year of origination was as follows: DECEMBER 31, 2021 Year of Origination (in millions) Prior to 2017 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total Credit Quality Aaa/Aa/A $ 115.3 $ 48.5 $ 31.0 $ 47.3 $ 27.4 $ 62.1 $ 331.6 Baa 44.9 — 9.8 — 6.0 — 60.7 Ba and lower 48.8 — — — — — 48.8 Amortized cost $ 209.0 $ 48.5 $ 40.8 $ 47.3 $ 33.4 $ 62.1 $ 441.1 Allowance for credit losses (7.1 ) Amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses $ 434.0 Other investments also include interests in limited partnerships of $319.9 million and $312.5 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. E. OTHER At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s exposure to concentration of investments in a single investee that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity included securities of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, as well as mortgage participations with a highly rated single third-party of $425.7 million and $459.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, there were contractual investment commitments of up to $256.3 million.

There were no fixed maturity securities on non-accrual status at December 31, 2021. The carrying values of fixed maturity securities on non-accrual status at December 31, 2020 were not material. The effects of non-accruals for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, compared with amounts of net investment income that would have been recognized in accordance with the original terms of the fixed maturities were also not material. B. NET REALIZED AND UNREALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS AND LOSSES Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, including impairments, were as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Equity securities $ 119.1 $ 13.4 $ 106.5 Fixed maturities 1.7 (4.2 ) 3.1 Other investments 1.5 2.5 — Mortgage loans 0.7 (6.7 ) (0.2 ) Net realized and unrealized investment gains $ 123.0 $ 5.0 $ 109.4 The following table provides pre-tax net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Net gains recognized during the period $ 119.1 $ 13.4 $ 106.5 Less: net gains (losses) recognized on equity securities sold during the period 2.2 (19.8 ) 2.8 Net unrealized gains recognized during the period on equity securities still held $ 116.9 $ 33.2 $ 103.7 Impairments Included in net realized and unrealized investment gains for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, were impairments of investment securities totaling $0.7 million, $26.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In 2021, impairments consisted of $1.3 million on fixed maturities, offset by recoveries of $0.6 million of estimated credit losses on mortgage loans. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — New Accounting Pronouncements: Recently Implemented Standards,” for a discussion of new guidance effective January 1, 2020, which affects the accounting for expected credit losses on fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans. Under the new guidance, credit losses on fixed maturities continue to be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows compared to amortized cost; however, credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturities are now recognized through an allowance instead of a direct write down of amortized cost. The new guidance stipulates that recoveries of previously recorded credit losses are recorded immediately as a reversal of the allowance. In addition, the allowance is limited to the amount that fair value is less than amortized cost and therefore, increases in the fair value of investments due to reasons other than credit could result in decreases in the allowance. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). At December 31, 202 1 and 20 20 , the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans was $ million and $ 7.9 million, respectively and t he allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was $ million and $ 0.1 million , respectively . The methodology and significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit losses were as follows: Fixed maturities, Corporate bonds – the Company utilized a financial model that derives expected cash flows based on probability-of-default factors by credit rating and asset duration, and loss-given-default factors based on security type. These factors are based on historical data provided by an independent third-party rating agency. In addition, other qualitative market data relevant to the realizability of contractual cash flows may be considered, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Mortgage loans – the Company estimated losses by applying expected loss rates, which are based on historical data. Embedded in expected loss rates are mortgage risk ratings and risk factors associated with property type such as office, retail, lodging, multi-family and industrial. Risk ratings, based on property characteristics and metrics including the geographic market, are predominantly driven by estimates of loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios. Ratings may be adjusted to reflect current conditions and to incorporate reasonable and supportable forecasts, such as volatility of cash flows and valuation. The proceeds from sales of available-for-sale fixed maturities, and the gross realized gains and gross realized losses on those sales, were as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Proceeds from sales $ 485.0 $ 264.1 $ 541.2 Gross gains 6.4 9.9 6.9 Gross losses 16.9 2.9 5.7

Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	4. FAIR VALUE Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, i.e., exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company emphasizes the use of observable market data whenever available in determining fair value. Fair values presented for certain financial instruments are estimates which, in many cases, may differ significantly from the amounts that could be realized upon immediate liquidation. A hierarchy of the three broad levels of fair value is as follows, with the highest priority given to Level 1 as these are the most observable, and the lowest priority given to Level 3: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data, including model-derived valuations. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. When more than one level of input is used to determine fair value, the financial instrument is classified as Level 2 or Level 3 according to the lowest level input that has a significant impact on the fair value measurement. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments and have not changed since last year. FIXED MATURITIES Level 1 securities generally include U.S. Treasury issues and other securities that are highly liquid, and for which quoted market prices are available. Level 2 securities are valued using pricing for similar securities and pricing models that incorporate observable inputs including, but not limited to, yield curves and issuer spreads. Level 3 securities include issues for which little observable data can be obtained, primarily due to the illiquid nature of the securities, and for which significant inputs used to determine fair value are based on the Company’s own assumptions. The Company utilizes third party pricing services for the valuation of the majority of its fixed maturity securities and receives one quote per security. When quoted market prices in an active market are available, they are provided by the pricing service as the fair value and such values are classified as Level 1. Since fixed maturities other than U.S. Treasury securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value for those securities using pricing techniques based on a market approach. Inputs into the fair value pricing common to all asset classes include: benchmark U.S. Treasury security yield curves; reported trades of identical or similar fixed maturity securities; broker/dealer quotes of identical or similar fixed maturity securities and structural characteristics such as maturity date, coupon, mandatory principal payment dates, frequency of interest and principal payments, and optional redemption features. Inputs into the fair value applications that are unique by asset class include, but are not limited to: • U.S. government agencies – determination of direct versus indirect government support and whether any contingencies exist with respect to the timely payment of principal and interest. • Foreign government – estimates of appropriate market spread versus underlying related sovereign treasury curve(s) dependent on liquidity and direct or contingent support. • Municipals – overall credit quality, including assessments of the level and variability of: sources of payment such as income, sales or property taxes, levies or user fees; credit support such as insurance; state or local economic and political base; natural resource availability; and susceptibility to natural or man-made catastrophic events such as hurricanes, earthquakes or acts of terrorism. • Corporate fixed maturities – overall credit quality, including assessments of the level and variability of: economic sensitivity; liquidity; corporate financial policies; management quality; regulatory environment; competitive position; ownership; restrictive covenants; and security or collateral. • Residential mortgage-backed securities – estimates of prepayment speeds based upon: historical prepayment rate trends; underlying collateral interest rates; geographic concentration; vintage year; borrower credit quality characteristics; interest rate and yield curve forecasts; government or monetary authority support programs; tax policies; and delinquency/default trends. • Commercial mortgage-backed securities – overall credit quality, including assessments of the value and supply/demand characteristics of: collateral type such as office, retail, residential, lodging, or other; geographic concentration by region, state, metropolitan statistical area and locale; vintage year; historical collateral performance including defeasance, delinquency, default and special servicer trends; and capital structure support features. • Asset-backed securities – overall credit quality, including assessments of the underlying collateral type such as credit card receivables, automobile loan receivables and equipment lease receivables; geographic diversification; vintage year; historical collateral performance including delinquency, default and casualty trends; economic conditions influencing use rates and resale values; and contract structural support features. Generally, all prices provided by the pricing service, except actively traded securities with quoted market prices, are reported as Level 2. The Company holds privately placed fixed maturity securities and certain other fixed maturity securities that do not have an active market and for which the pricing service cannot provide fair values. The Company determines fair values for these securities using either matrix pricing, which utilizes the market approach, or broker quotes. The Company will use observable market data as inputs into the fair value techniques, as discussed in the determination of Level 2 fair values, to the extent it is available, but is also required to use a certain amount of unobservable judgment due to the illiquid nature of the securities involved. Unobservable judgment reflected in the Company’s matrix model accounts for estimates of additional spread required by market participants for factors such as issue size, credit stress, structural complexity, high bond coupon or other unique features. These matrix-priced securities are reported as Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the significance of the impact of unobservable judgment on the security’s value. Additionally, the Company may obtain non-binding broker quotes, which are reported as Level 3. EQUITY SECURITIES Level 1 consists of publicly traded securities, including exchange traded funds, valued at quoted market prices. Level 2 includes securities that are valued using pricing for similar securities and pricing models that incorporate observable inputs. Level 3 consists of common or preferred stock of private companies for which observable inputs are not available. The Company utilizes a third-party pricing service for the valuation of the majority of its equity securities and receives one quote for each equity security. When quoted market prices in an active market are available, they are provided by the pricing service as the fair value, and such values are classified as Level 1. The Company holds certain equity securities that have been issued by privately-held entities that do not have an active market and for which the pricing service cannot provide fair values. Generally, the Company estimates fair value for these securities based on the issuer’s book value and market multiples and reports them as Level 3. Additionally, the Company may obtain non-binding broker quotes, which are reported as Level 3. OTHER INVESTMENTS Other investments primarily include mortgage participations and limited partnerships not subject to the equity method of accounting. The fair values of limited partnerships not subject to the equity method of accounting are based on the NAV provided by the general partner, adjusted for recent financial information, and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values of the financial instruments were as follows: DECEMBER 31, 2021 DECEMBER 31, 2020 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (in millions) Value Value Value Value Financial Assets carried at: Fair Value through AOCI: Fixed maturities $ 7,723.9 $ 7,723.9 $ 7,454.4 $ 7,454.4 Fair Value through Net Income: Equity securities 661.3 661.3 598.5 598.5 Other investments 143.8 143.8 176.8 176.8 Amortized Cost/Cost: Other investments 450.8 472.9 470.3 504.8 Cash and cash equivalents 230.9 230.9 120.6 120.6 Total financial instruments $ 9,210.7 $ 9,232.8 $ 8,820.6 $ 8,855.1 Financial Liabilities carried at: Amortized Cost: Debt $ 781.6 $ 845.5 $ 780.8 $ 887.7 The Company has processes designed to ensure that the values received from its third-party pricing services are accurately recorded, that the data inputs and valuation approaches and techniques utilized are appropriate and consistently applied, and that the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value. The Company reviews the pricing services’ policies describing its methodology, processes, practices and inputs, including various financial models used to value securities. For assets carried at fair value, the Company performs a review of the fair value hierarchy classifications and of prices received from its pricing services on a quarterly basis. Also, the Company reviews the portfolio pricing, including a process for which securities with changes in prices that exceed a defined threshold are verified to independent sources, if available. If upon review, the Company is not satisfied with the validity of a given price, a pricing challenge would be submitted to the pricing service along with supporting documentation for its review. The Company does not adjust quotes or prices obtained from the pricing service unless the pricing service agrees with the Company’s challenge. During 2021 and 2020, the Company did not adjust any prices received from its pricing services. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. As previously discussed, the Company utilizes third-party pricing services for the valuation of the majority of its fixed maturities and equity securities. The pricing services have indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information to produce a valuation. If a pricing service discontinues pricing an investment, the Company will use observable market data to the extent it is available, but may also be required to make assumptions for market based inputs that are unavailable due to market conditions.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, a fixed maturity security was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2, primarily as a result of assessing the significance of unobservable inputs on the fair value measurement. There were no Level 3 liabilities held by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The following table provides quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in the fair value measurements of Level 3 assets. Where discounted cash flows were used in the valuation of fixed maturities, the internally-developed discount rate was adjusted by the significant unobservable inputs shown in the table.

Each unobservable input is based on the Company’s subjective opinion and therefore inherently contains a degree of uncertainty. Significant increases (decreases) in any of the above inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. There were no interrelationships between these inputs which might magnify or mitigate the effect of changes in unobservable inputs on the fair value measurement.

Income Taxes	6. INCOME TAXES Provisions for income taxes have been calculated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. Income from continuing operations before income taxes and a summary of the components of income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income are shown below: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ 521.3 $ 444.8 $ 522.1 Income tax expense (benefit): Current $ 77.5 $ 105.9 $ 80.5 Deferred 23.8 (23.1 ) 12.6 Total income tax expense $ 101.3 $ 82.8 $ 93.1 On June 14, 2019, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued regulations that changed the taxation of certain non-U.S. income. These regulations were applied retroactively to January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company incurred, in 2019, additional federal income tax of $1.2 million from the 2018 sale of Chaucer. Although the impact of these regulations relates to the calculation of the income tax expense related to the sale of Chaucer, ASC 740 prescribes that the effect of certain retroactive law changes be presented in continuing operations. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company has recorded a provision for this amount as a component of income tax expense in continuing operations in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2019. The income tax expense attributable to the consolidated results of continuing operations is different from the amount determined by multiplying income from continuing operations before income taxes by the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% . The sources of the difference and the tax effects of each were as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Expected income tax expense $ 109.5 $ 93.4 $ 109.6 Tax difference related to investment disposals and maturities (4.6 ) (9.2 ) (14.8 ) Stock-based compensation windfall benefit (2.6 ) (2.1 ) (3.0 ) Prior years' federal research tax credits (1.7 ) — — Dividend received deduction (1.2 ) (1.1 ) (1.3 ) Current year federal tax credits (0.5 ) — — Tax-exempt interest (0.2 ) (0.2 ) (0.3 ) Nondeductible expenses 2.3 1.8 1.7 Effect of changes in the tax law and rates — — 1.2 Other, net 0.3 0.2 — Income tax expense $ 101.3 $ 82.8 $ 93.1 Effective tax rate 19.4 % 18.6 % 17.8 % The following are the components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities, (excluding those associated with its discontinued operations). DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 (in millions) Deferred tax assets: Loss, LAE and unearned premium reserves, net $ 170.0 $ 150.8 Employee benefit plans 7.2 6.0 Other 11.4 16.9 Total deferred tax assets 188.6 173.7 Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred acquisition costs 115.9 100.3 Investments, net 108.6 146.7 Software capitalization 24.9 24.0 Total deferred tax liabilities 249.4 271.0 Net deferred tax liability $ (60.8 ) $ (97.3 ) Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized; therefore there was no valuation allowance required at December 31, 2021 or 2020. In prior years, the Company completed several transactions which resulted in, for tax purposes only, realized gains in its investment portfolio. As a result of these transactions, the Company was able to utilize capital losses carried forward and to release the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset related to these losses. The releases of these valuation allowances were recorded as a benefit in accumulated other comprehensive income. Previously unrealized benefits of $4.6 million, $9.2 million and $14.8 million, were recognized as part of income from continuing operations during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The remaining amount of $7.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive income will be released into income from continuing operations in future years, as the investment securities subject to these transactions are sold or mature. The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for uncertain tax positions as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Liability at beginning of year, net $ 0.9 $ 1.3 $ 3.0 Additions for tax positions of current year 2.0 — — Subtractions as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations (0.9 ) (0.4 ) (1.7 ) Liability at end of year, net $ 2.0 $ 0.9 $ 1.3 There were no tax positions at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for which the ultimate deductibility was highly certain, but for which there was uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, a change in the timing of deductions would not impact the annual effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in federal income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Company recognized a de minimis amount of net interest and has not recognized any penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits. During both 2021 and 2020, the Company released accrued interest of $0.1 million due to the expirations of a statute of limitations. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions, as well as foreign jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations and foreign examinations for years after 2017. The audit of the Company’s Massachusetts corporate excise tax for years 2017 and 2018 commenced in June 2021.

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension Plans	7. PENSION PLANS DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS The Company recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit plans in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation of the Company’s defined benefit plans. The Company provides information for its overfunded plan separate from its underfunded plan. Defined Benefit Plans Prior to 2005, THG provided retirement benefits to substantially all of its employees under defined benefit pension plans. These plans were based on a defined benefit cash balance formula, whereby the Company annually provided an allocation to each covered employee based on a percentage of that employee’s eligible salary, similar to a defined contribution plan arrangement. In addition to the cash balance allocation, certain employees who had met specified age and service requirements as of December 31, 1994 were eligible for a grandfathered benefit based primarily on each employee’s years of service and compensation during their highest five consecutive plan years of employment. The Company’s policy for the plans is to fund at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). As of January 1, 2005, the defined benefit pension plans were frozen, and since that date no further cash balance allocations have been credited to participants. Participants’ accounts are credited with interest daily, based upon the General Agreement of Trades and Tariffs rate (the 30-year Treasury Bond interest rate). As of December 31, 2021, based on current estimates of plan liabilities and other assumptions, the assets of the qualified defined benefit pension plan exceeded the projected benefit obligation by approximately $19.4 million. Assumptions Defined Benefit Plans In order to measure the expense associated with these plans, management must make various estimates and assumptions, including discount rates used to value liabilities, assumed rates of return on plan assets, employee turnover rates and anticipated mortality rates, for example. The estimates used by management are based on the Company’s historical experience, as well as current facts and circumstances. In addition, the Company uses outside actuaries to assist in measuring the expense and liability associated with these plans. The Company measures the funded status of its plans as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The Company utilizes a measurement date of December 31 st Weighted average assumptions used to determine pension benefit obligations are as follows: DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate - qualified plan 3.25 % 3.00 % 3.75 % Discount rate - non-qualified plan 3.25 % 2.88 % 4.00 % Cash balance interest crediting rate 3.00 % 3.00 % 3.50 % The Company utilizes a measurement date of January 1 st YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 Qualified plan Discount rate 3.00 % 3.75 % 4.50 % Expected return on plan assets 3.75 % 4.75 % 5.50 % Cash balance interest crediting rate 3.00 % 3.50 % 3.50 % Non-qualified plan Discount rate 2.88 % 4.00 % 4.50 % The expected rates of return were determined using historical mean returns for each asset class, adjusted for certain factors believed to have an impact on future returns. These returns are generally weighted to the plan’s actual asset allocation, and are net of administrative expenses. For the qualified defined benefit plan, the 2021 expected return on plan assets of 3.75% reflects long-term expectations and decreased modestly based upon long-term market expectations and expense management efforts. The Company reviews and updates, at least annually, its expected return on plan assets based on changes in the actual assets held by the plan and market conditions. Plan Assets Qualified Defined Benefit Plan For the qualified defined benefit plan, a target allocation approach is utilized, which focuses on creating a mix of assets that will generate modest growth from equity securities while minimizing volatility from changes in the markets and economic environment. Various factors are taken into consideration in determining the appropriate asset mix, such as census data, actuarial valuation information and capital market assumptions. Target allocations are reviewed and updated at least annually. Changes are made periodically. The following table provides its year-end 2021 target allocations and actual invested asset allocations at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Securities classified as Level 3 at December 31, 2021 and 2020 include assets held in a fixed account of an insurance company. The fair value of the investment is estimated using a comparable public market financial institution derived fair value curve that uses non-observable inputs for market liquidity and unique credit characteristics of its underlying securities. The Plan also holds investments measured at fair value using NAV based on the value of the underlying investments, which is determined independently by the investment manager and have not been included in the table above. These include investments in commingled pools and investment-grade fixed income securities held in a custom fund, and other commingled pools that primarily invest in publicly traded common stocks. The daily NAV, which is not published as a quoted market price for these investments, is used as the basis for transactions. Redemption of these funds is not subject to restriction. The fair values of these investments are as follows: DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 Fixed maturities $ 354.0 $ 414.4 Equity securities 52.3 52.7 Total investments carried at NAV $ 406.3 $ 467.1 The table below provides a reconciliation for all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Changes in the funded status of the plans are reflected as components of either net income or accumulated other comprehensive income. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income are reflected as a net actuarial gain or loss. The following table reflects the benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and funded status of the plans at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Actuarial gains related to the change in the benefit obligation for the Company’s qualified benefit plan were $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to actuarial losses of $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Actuarial gains related to the change in the benefit obligation for the Company’s non-qualified benefit plan were $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to actuarial losses of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. For both plans, the actuarial gains in 2021 primarily reflect slight increases in the discount rate, partially offset by less favorable mortality experience. In 2020, the actuarial losses primarily reflect reductions in the discount rate driven by decreases in corporate bond interest rates, partially offset by favorable mortality experience. Components of Net Periodic Pension (Benefit) Cost The components of total net periodic pension (benefit) cost are as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) Interest cost $ 14.9 $ 18.3 $ 21.3 Expected return on plan assets (18.4 ) (22.2 ) (23.4 ) Recognized net actuarial loss 3.2 5.8 11.3 Net periodic pension (benefit) cost $ (0.3 ) $ 1.9 $ 9.2 The following table reflects the total amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income relating to the defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 (in millions) Net actuarial loss $ 76.6 $ 67.4 The unrecognized net actuarial gains or losses which exceed 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligations or the fair value of plan assets are amortized as a component of net periodic pension cost over the next five years. Contributions In accordance with ERISA guidelines, the Company is not required to fund its qualified benefit plan in 2022. The Company expects to contribute $2.9 million to its non-qualified pension plan to fund 2022 benefit payments.

Stock-based Compensation Plans	9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS On May 20, 2014, shareholders approved The Hanover Insurance Group 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 Stock Plan”). With respect to new share-based award issuances, the 2014 Stock Plan replaced The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Stock Plan”) and authorized the issuance of 6,100,000 shares in a new share pool, plus any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2006 Stock Plan that may become available for reissuance as a result of the cash settlement, forfeiture, expiration or cancellation of such awards. The 2014 Stock Plan provides for the granting of the same types of awards as the 2006 Stock Plan, including stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARS”), restricted and unrestricted stock, stock units, performance and market-based stock awards and cash awards. In accordance with the 2014 Stock Plan, the issuance of one share of common stock in the form of an option or SAR will reduce the share pool by one share, whereas the issuance of one share of common stock for the other types of stock awards provided by the Plan will reduce the pool by 3.8 shares. As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,981,322 shares available for grants under the 2014 Stock Plan. Additionally, on May 20, 2014, shareholders approved The Hanover Insurance Group 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP Plan”) authorizing the issuance of 2,500,000 shares under such plan. As of December 31, 2021, 2,313,265 shares were available for grant under the ESPP Plan. Compensation cost for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 totaled $22.9 million, $20.1 million and $17.4 million, respectively. Related tax benefits were $4.8 million, $4.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. STOCK OPTIONS Under the 2014 Stock Plan, options may be granted to eligible employees, directors or consultants at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Option shares may be exercised subject to the terms prescribed by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) at the time of grant. Options granted in 2021, 2020 and 2019 generally vest over 3 years with 33 1/3 Information on the Company’s stock options is summarized below.

The remaining 185,208 option awards were granted at an exercise price of $119.36. Cash received for options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $18.0 million, $3.9 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $12.2 million, $2.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The excess tax benefit realized from options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $2.0 million, $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value at December 31, 2021 for shares outstanding and shares exercisable was $39.3 million and $33.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual life for shares outstanding and shares exercisable was 6.4 years and 5.4 years, respectively. Additional information about employee options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2021 is included in the following table: Options Outstanding Options Currently Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Number Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Lives Weighted Average Exercise Price Number Weighted Average Exercise Price $ 40.01 to $54.61 78,093 1.81 $ 49.75 78,093 $ 49.75 $ 66.14 to $66.26 78,599 3.16 66.14 78,599 66.14 $ 70.51 to $77.91 113,328 4.42 74.57 113,328 74.57 $ 82.39 to $92.68 155,291 5.22 85.45 154,029 85.39 $ 104.11 to $113.32 243,285 6.16 104.25 243,485 104.25 $ 115.35 178,040 9.16 115.35 — — $ 117.22 to $118.54 383,375 7.77 118.01 177,895 117.76 The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For all options granted through December 31, 2021, the exercise price equaled the market price on the grant date. Compensation cost related to options is based upon the grant date fair value and expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period for each separately vesting portion of the option as if the option was, in substance, multiple awards. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $20.96 , $14.45 and $18.12, respectively. The following significant assumptions were used to determine the fair value for options granted in the years indicated. 2021 2020 2019 Dividend yield 2.427 % 2.193% to 2.805 % 2.011 % Expected volatility 24.115% to 31.315 % 17.671% to 24.495 % 18.495% to 19.100 % Weighted average expected volatility 27.45 % 18.10 % 18.86 % Risk-free interest rate 0.194% to 1.046 % 0.262% to 1.042 % 2.527% to 2.617 % Expected term, in years 2.5 to 6.5 2.5 to 6.5 2.5 to 6.5 The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s dividend payout rate(s), in the year noted, excluding the effect of any special dividends provided. Expected volatility is based generally on the Company’s historical daily stock price volatility. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding and is derived primarily using historical exercise, forfeit and cancellation behavior, along with certain other factors expected to differ from historical data. The fair value of shares that vested during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $2.7 million related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS Stock grants may be awarded to eligible employees at a price established by the Committee (which may be zero). Under the 2014 Stock Plan, the Company may award shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, as well as shares of unrestricted stock. Restricted stock grants may vest based upon performance criteria, market criteria or continued employment and be in the form of shares or units. Vesting periods are established by the Committee. The Company granted both market-based and performance-based restricted share units in 2021, 2020 and 2019. These units generally vest after three years of continued employment and after the achievement of certain performance targets. The Company also granted time-based restricted stock units to eligible employees in 2021, 2020 and 2019 that generally vest after three years of continued employment. The following table summarizes information about employee restricted stock units: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2021 2020 2019 Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Time-based restricted stock units: Outstanding, beginning of year 350,480 $ 116.37 335,166 $ 109.55 332,481 $ 97.28 Granted 173,963 115.69 143,128 117.72 149,698 117.60 Vested (119,645 ) 111.30 (94,993 ) 94.54 (109,493 ) 84.57 Forfeited (24,698 ) 117.17 (32,821 ) 115.74 (37,520 ) 106.03 Outstanding, end of year 380,100 $ 117.60 350,480 $ 116.37 335,166 $ 109.55 Performance and market-based restricted stock units: Outstanding, beginning of year 97,043 $ 119.59 86,252 $ 110.70 69,838 $ 95.58 Granted 62,143 114.66 54,415 105.10 42,605 116.67 Vested (43,506 ) 122.27 (40,601 ) 80.92 (23,521 ) 79.57 Forfeited (1,832 ) 116.90 (3,023 ) 124.78 (2,670 ) 135.92 Outstanding, end of year 113,848 $ 115.92 97,043 $ 119.59 86,252 $ 110.70 In 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted market-based awards totaling 37,848, 21,379, and 24,410, respectively, to certain members of senior management, which are included in the table above as performance and market-based restricted stock activity. The vesting of these stock units is based on the relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company. This metric is generally based on relative TSR for a three-year In 2021, 14,501 market-based restricted stock units were included as granted due to completion levels in excess of 100% for units granted in 2018. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $122.27. In 2020, 13,532 market-based restricted stock units were included as granted due to completion levels in excess of 100% for units granted in 2017. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $80.92. In 2019, 5,820 market-based restricted stock units were included as granted due to completion levels in excess of 100% for units granted in both 2016 and 2017. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $75.95. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company also granted performance-based restricted stock units totaling 21,401, 19,504 and 18,195, respectively to certain members of senior management, which are included in the table above as performance and market-based restricted stock activity. The vesting of these stock units is determined through the use of a performance-based metric (return on equity) and has the potential to range from 0% to 150% of the shares disclosed. The increase in fair value from grant date of restricted stock and restricted stock units that vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $1.2 million, $4.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. There was no increase in the fair value from grant date for performance and market-based restricted stock units that vested in 2021; however, for 2020 and 2019 the increase was $2.0 million, $1.1 million, respectively. Also, during 2021, 2020 and 2019 there were 900 shares, 1,074 shares, and 966 shares, respectively, of performance-based awards that forfeited. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of outstanding restricted stock units was $44.7 million and the weighted average remaining contractual life was 1.3 years. The fair value of outstanding performance and market-based restricted stock units was $13.2 million and the weighted average remaining contractual life was 1.3 years. As of December 31, 2021, there was $26.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units and performance and market-based restricted stock units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. Compensation cost associated with restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance and market-based restricted stock units is generally calculated based upon grant date fair value, which is determined using current market prices.

The Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program which provides for aggregate repurchases of the Company’s common stock of up to $1.3 billion. Under this program the Company had approximately $361 million available at December 31, 2021. Under the repurchase authorization, the Company may repurchase, from time to time, common stock in amounts, at prices and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. Repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or other transactions. The Company is not required to purchase any specific number of shares or to make purchases by any certain date under this program. During 2019, the Company executed two accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements, through which it repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock for $300 million. On October 29, 2020, pursuant to the terms of another ASR agreement the Company paid $100 million and received 0.9 million shares of its common stock, with approximately 80% of the total number of shares received in October 2020 and approximately 45,000 shares received in January 2021 as final settlement of shares repurchased. The Company also repurchased 1.2 million, 1.1million and 0.1 million shares through open market purchases during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Dividend Restrictions	11. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS The individual law of all states, including New Hampshire and Michigan, where Hanover Insurance and Citizens are domiciled, respectively, restrict the payment of dividends to stockholders by insurers. These laws affect the dividend paying ability of Hanover Insurance and Citizens. Pursuant to New Hampshire’s statute, the maximum dividends and other distributions that an insurer may pay in any twelve month period, without prior approval of the New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner, is limited to the lesser of 10% of such insurer’s statutory policyholder surplus as of the preceding December 31, or statutory net income less net realized gains. Hanover Insurance declared and paid dividends to its parent totaling $255.0 million in 2021, $245.0 million in 2020 and $140.0 million in 2019. At January 1, 2022, the maximum dividend payable without prior approval was $16.3 million. In May 2022, the maximum dividend declared payable without prior approval will increase by $255.0 million to a total amount of $271.3 million. Pursuant to Michigan’s statute, the maximum dividends and other distributions that an insurer may pay in any twelve month period, without prior approval of the Michigan Insurance Commissioner, is limited to the greater of 10% of policyholders’ surplus as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year or the statutory net income less net realized gains, for the immediately preceding calendar year. Citizens declared and paid an ordinary dividend to its parent, Hanover Insurance, totaling $90.0 million in 2021. In 2020 and 2019, an extraordinary dividend of $82.0 million and an ordinary dividend of $106.0 million, respectively, were declared and paid by Citizens. Accordingly, Citizens cannot declare a further dividend without prior approval until November 2022, at which time the maximum dividend declared payable without prior approval will be $72.9 million. The statutes in both New Hampshire and Michigan require that prior notice to the respective Insurance Commissioner of any proposed dividend be provided and such Commissioner may, in certain circumstances, prohibit the payment of the proposed dividend.

Segment Information

Segment Information	12 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	12. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company’s primary business operations include insurance products and services provided through three operating segments: Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and Other. Commercial Lines includes commercial multiple peril, commercial automobile, workers’ compensation, and other commercial coverages, such as management and professional liability, marine, Hanover Programs, specialty industrial and commercial property, monoline general liability and surety. Personal Lines includes personal automobile, homeowners and other personal coverages. Included in the Other segment are Opus Investment Management, Inc., which markets investment management services to institutions, pension funds and other organizations; earnings on holding company assets; holding company and other expenses, including certain costs associated with retirement benefits due to the Company’s former life insurance employees and agents; and, a run-off property and casualty voluntary pools business. The separate financial information is presented consistent with the way results are regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company reports interest expense related to debt separately from the earnings of its operating segments. For 2021, this consisted of interest on the Company’s senior and subordinated debentures. Management evaluates the results of the aforementioned segments based on operating income before income taxes, excluding interest expense on debt. Operating income before income taxes excludes certain items which are included in net income, such as net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses. Such gains and losses are excluded since they are determined by interest rates, financial markets and the timing of sales. Also, operating income before income taxes excludes net gains and losses on disposals of businesses, gains and losses related to the repayment of debt, discontinued operations, costs to acquire businesses, restructuring costs, the cumulative effect of accounting changes and certain other items. Although the items excluded from operating income before income taxes may be important components in understanding and assessing the Company’s overall financial performance, management believes that the presentation of operating income before income taxes enhances an investor’s understanding of the Company’s results of operations by highlighting net income attributable to the core operations of the business. However, operating income before income taxes should not be construed as a substitute for income before income taxes or income from continuing operations and operating income should not be construed as a substitute for net income. Summarized below is financial information with respect to the Company’s business segments.

Discontinued accident and health and life businesses During 1999, the Company exited its accident and health insurance business, consisting of its Employee Benefit Services business, its Affinity Group Underwriters business and its accident and health assumed reinsurance pool business. Prior to 1999, these businesses comprised substantially all of the former Corporate Risk Management Services segment. On January 2, 2009, Hanover Insurance directly assumed a portion of the accident and health business and the remainder of the discontinued First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“FAFLIC”) accident and health business was reinsured by Hanover Insurance in connection with the sale of FAFLIC to Commonwealth Annuity. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the portion of the discontinued accident and health business that was directly assumed had assets of $87.7 million and $90.3 million, respectively, consisting primarily of invested assets, and liabilities of $92.3 million and $89.8 million, respectively, consisting primarily of policy liabilities. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the assets and liabilities of this business, as well as those of the reinsured portion of the accident and health business are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s former life insurance businesses include indemnity obligations and other activities. Discontinued accident and health and life operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, resulted in losses of $2.5 million. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, this business resulted in losses of $3.7 million, including $1.7 million related to income taxes, and $4.3 million, including $0.9 million related to income taxes, respectively.

Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract]
Reinsurance	13. REINSURANCE In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the losses that may arise from catastrophes or other events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by reinsuring certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure with other insurance enterprises or reinsurers. Reinsurance transactions are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 944. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. The Company determines the appropriate amount of reinsurance based on evaluations of the risks accepted and analyses prepared by consultants and on market conditions (including the availability and pricing of reinsurance). The Company also believes that the terms of its reinsurance contracts are consistent with industry practice in that they contain standard terms with respect to lines of business covered, limit and retention, arbitration and occurrence. The Company believes that its reinsurers are financially sound, based upon an ongoing review of financial strength ratings assigned to them by rating agencies, their reputations in the reinsurance marketplace, collections history, advice from third parties, and the analysis and guidance of the Company’s reinsurance advisors. As a condition to conduct certain business in various states, the Company is required to participate in residual market mechanisms, facilities, and pooling arrangements such as the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (“MCCA”). The Company is subject to concentration of risk with respect to reinsurance ceded to the MCCA. Funding for MCCA comes from assessments against automobile insurers based upon their share of insured automobiles in the state for which the policyholders have elected unlimited personal injury protection (“PIP”) benefits. Insurers are allowed to pass along this cost to Michigan automobile policyholders that have elected unlimited PIP benefits. On November 3, 2021, the MCCA Board voted unanimously to return approximately $3.0 billion of its estimated surplus to policyholders through its member insurance companies. Since policyholders are the ultimate payers of the MCCA premium, this return of MCCA surplus will be passed through to policyholders. The refund is expected to be paid to the Company during March 2022 and will be refunded to the policyholders shortly thereafter. The refund was treated as a refund of premium transaction in the Company’s financial statements, reducing both direct written premium and ceded written premium. There is no effect on net written premium or net earned premium. The total amount of the refund to the Company is expected to be approximately $183.2 million, comprising of $179.1 million for personal automobile and $4.1 million for commercial automobile policyholders. Direct and ceded premium numbers in the table below reflect this refund. The Company has reflected the expected payment to its policyholders in “Expenses and taxes payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, Michigan enacted major reforms to its prior system governing personal and commercial automobile insurance in June 2019. Among other things, the reform legislation set forth cost saving measures for personal injury protection claims, including MCCA-reinsured claims, that took effect in July 2021. The Company’s current estimate of MCCA reinsurance receivables has been reduced for these potential future claim cost savings. This resulted in a $122.9 million decrease in MCCA reinsurance recoverables during 2021, and a corresponding decrease in MCCA ceded losses incurred. This estimate of MCCA reinsurance receivables is subject to change and will be revised further as the actual impacts of these cost saving measures emerge in the future. Including the aforementioned refund of $183.2 million, during 2021 the Company’s MCCA net impact was to reduce both direct premiums earned and premiums ceded by $143.7 million. Including the aforementioned decrease in the Company’s estimated MCCA reinsurance recoverables of $122.9 million, during 2021 the Company’s MCCA net impact was to reduce ceded incurred losses and LAE by $68.0 million. The Company ceded to the MCCA premiums earned and losses and LAE incurred of $84.6 million and $99.2 million, respectively, in 2020, and $84.3 million and $108.5 million, respectively, in 2019. The MCCA represented 47.3% of the total reinsurance receivable balance at December 31, 2021. Reinsurance recoverables related to the MCCA were $901.8 million and $1,024.7 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Since the MCCA is supported by assessments permitted by statute, and there have been no significant uncollectible balances from the MCCA identified during the three years ending December 31, 2021, the Company believes it has no significant exposure to uncollectible reinsurance balances from this entity. The following table provides the effects of reinsurance.

(2) The ceded losses and LAE in 2021 declined compared to 2020 and 2019 primarily due to the decrease in MCCA incurred losses that resulted from Michigan automobile reform, as discussed above.

Liabilities for Outstanding Claims, Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses	14. LIABILITIES FOR OUTSTANDING CLAIMS, LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES Reserving Process Overview Management’s process for establishing loss reserves is a comprehensive process that involves input from multiple functions throughout the organization, including actuarial, finance, claims, legal, underwriting, distribution and business operations management. A review of loss reserves for each of the classes of business that the Company writes is conducted regularly, generally quarterly. This review process takes into consideration a variety of trends that impact the ultimate settlement of claims. Where appropriate, the loss reserving process includes a review of overall payment patterns and the emergence of paid and reported losses relative to expectations. The loss reserve estimation process relies on the basic assumption that past experience, adjusted for the effects of current developments and likely trends, is an appropriate basis for predicting future outcomes. As part of this process, the Company uses a variety of analytical methods that consider experience, trends and other relevant factors. IBNR reserves are generally calculated by first projecting the ultimate cost of all claims that have been reported or expected to be reported in the future and then subtracting reported losses and LAE. IBNR reserves include both incurred-but-not-reported liabilities plus expected development on reported claims included in the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. Reported losses include cumulative paid losses and LAE plus outstanding case reserves. The Company’s ultimate IBNR reserves are estimated by management and reserving actuaries on an aggregate basis for each line of business or coverage for loss and LAE liabilities not reflected within the case reserves. Case reserves are established by claim personnel individually on a claim by claim basis and based on information specific to the occurrence and terms of the underlying policy. Case reserves are periodically reviewed and modified based on new or additional information pertaining to the claim. For events designated as catastrophes, the Company generally calculates IBNR reserves directly as a result of an estimated IBNR claim count and an estimated average claim amount for each event. Such an assessment involves a comprehensive analysis of the nature of the event, of policyholder exposures within the affected geographic area and of available claims intelligence. Carried reserves for each line of business and coverage are determined based on the quarterly loss reserving process. In making the determination, the Company considers numerous quantitative and qualitative factors. Quantitative factors include actual payments made and changes in case reserve estimates in the period, as compared to previously experienced patterns, the maturity of the accident year, trends observed over the recent past, the level of volatility within a particular class of business, the estimated effects of reinsurance, including reinstatement premiums, general economic trends and other factors. Qualitative factors may include legal and regulatory developments, changes in claim handling and case reserving practices, recent entry into new markets or products, changes in underwriting practices, concerns that the Company does not have sufficient or quality historical reported and paid loss and LAE information with respect to a particular line of business and coverage , effects of the economy and political outlook, perceived anomalies in the historical results, evolving trends or other factors , such as the continuing impact of the Pandemic . Reserve Rollforward and Prior Year Development The Company regularly updates its reserve estimates as new information becomes available and further events occur which may impact the resolution of unsettled claims. Reserve adjustments are reflected in results of operations as adjustments to losses and LAE. Often these adjustments are recognized in periods subsequent to the period in which the underlying policy was written and loss event occurred. These types of subsequent adjustments are described as loss and LAE “development.” Such development can be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company’s financial results and may vary by line of business. In this section, all amounts presented include catastrophe losses and LAE. The table below provides a reconciliation of the gross beginning and ending reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Commercial Lines favorable development was primarily due to lower than expected losses of $23.1 million within the workers’ compensation line in accident years 2014 through 2020, and within commercial multiple peril and other commercial lines. In addition, Commercial Lines favorable development includes lower than expected losses related to certain 2018 through 2020 hurricanes, tornadoes, and other storms. Within other commercial lines, lower than expected losses in the commercial miscellaneous property line, primarily in accident years 2019 and 2020, the surety line, primarily in accident years 2013 through 2016, 2018 and 2019, the marine line, primarily in accident year 2020, and within the specialty industrial property line, primarily in accident year s 2019 and 2020, were partially offset by higher than expected losses of $ 25.6 million withi n the general liability lines, primarily in accident years 2018 through 2020 . Personal Lines favorable development was primarily due to lower than expected losses of $ 24.8 million in the personal automobile line, driven by lower bodily injury and personal injury protection losses, primarily in accident year 2020. In addition, Other Segment unfavorable development of $ 1.0 million was due to the Company’s run-off voluntary assumed property and casualty reinsurance pools business, which includes asbestos and environmental reserves. 2020 In 2020, net favorable loss and LAE development was $32.6 million, primarily as a result of net favorable Commercial Lines development of $37.8 million, partially offset by unfavorable development in the Other Segment. Commercial Lines favorable development was primarily due to lower than expected losses of $36.0 million within the workers’ compensation line in accident years 2016 through 2019 and within other commercial lines. These were partially offset by higher than expected losses in the commercial automobile line driven by higher bodily injury and personal injury protection losses, primarily in accident years 2017 through 2019. In addition, Commercial Lines favorable development includes lower than expected losses related to certain 2017, 2018 and 2019 wind storms, winter storms and hurricanes, and the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires. Within other commercial lines, lower than expected losses in the marine line, primarily in accident years 2017 through 2019, and the specialty industrial property lines were partially offset by higher than expected losses 2019 In 2019, net favorable loss and LAE development was $28.4 million, primarily as a result of net favorable Commercial Lines development of $53.3 million, partially offset by unfavorable Personal Lines development of $23.7 million. Commercial Lines favorable development was primarily due to lower than expected losses of $32.6 million within the workers’ compensation line in accident years 2015 through 2018, as well as within the commercial multiple peril line in accident years 2015 and 2016, and within other commercial lines. These were partially offset by higher than expected losses in the commercial automobile line driven by higher bodily injury severity and personal injury protection losses. In addition, Commercial Lines favorable development includes lower than expected losses related to the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires, including the sale of subrogation rights on certain California wildfire losses, and hurricane Florence in 2018. Within other commercial lines, lower than expected losses in the marine line, primarily in accident years 2015 through 2018, general liability lines and surety line were partially offset by higher than expected losses in Hanover Programs, primarily in accident years 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. Personal Lines unfavorable development was primarily due to higher than expected losses of $21.6 million in the personal automobile line, driven by bodily injury severity and personal injury protection in accident years 2016 through 2017. In addition, Other Segment unfavorable development of $1.2 million was due to the Company’s run-off voluntary assumed property and casualty reinsurance pools business, which includes asbestos and environmental reserves. Carried Reserves The table below summarizes the gross, ceded and net reserve for losses and LAE and reconciles to the incurred claims development in the following section. Accordingly, the commercial multiple peril, workers’ compensation, commercial automobile liability and general liability and umbrella - occurrence lines presentation includes Hanover Programs business.

General liability - claims made is primarily comprised of the Company’s commercial professional and management liability lines. Within Total Commercial Lines and other, other lines is primarily comprised of marine, surety, specialty industrial and commercial property, product liability, voluntary pools, healthcare, and fidelity lines. Included in the above table, primarily in other lines, are $57.3 million and $57.7 million of gross asbestos and environmental reserves as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Incurred claims development tables For the following net reserve components, commercial multiple peril, workers’ compensation, commercial automobile liability, general liability and umbrella - occurrence, general liability - claims made, personal automobile liability and homeowners, the Company is presenting incurred claims development tables by accident year. The commercial multiple peril, workers’ compensation, commercial automobile liability, general liability and umbrella - occurrence lines presentation includes Hanover Programs business. Incurred claim count information presented represents claim frequency by individual claimant and measures the frequency of direct claim settlements that have resulted in or are expected to result in claim payments. Claim count information is presented in a manner consistent with that used in the quarterly loss reserving process. A single claim event, particularly in automobile lines, may result in multiple individual claimants and, therefore, multiple claim counts. Incurred claim counts are comprised of outstanding claims and those that are closed with a loss payment and exclude those that are closed without a loss payment. A single claim event may result in multiple claims closed with a payment when a claim is subsequently reopened with further payment. In this case, a reopened claim payment is counted as an incremental claim settlement. Claim count information is not available for direct and assumed participations in various involuntary pools and residual market mechanisms, which represent approximately 4% or less of the total gross earned premium and gross incurred claims for the lines presented. Incurred claim counts are also not adjusted for the effect of claims ceded as part of reinsurance programs, although the incurred losses and cumulative paid losses presented in the following tables are presented net of reinsurance ceded.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company has been named a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In addition, the Company is involved, from time to time, in examinations, investigations and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. The potential outcome of any such action or regulatory proceedings in which the Company has been named a defendant or the subject of an inquiry, examination or investigation, and its ultimate liability, if any, from such action or regulatory proceedings, is difficult to predict at this time. The ultimate resolutions of such proceedings are not expected to have a material effect on its financial position, although they could have a material effect on the results of operations for a particular quarterly or annual period. Residual Markets The Company is required to participate in residual markets in various states, which generally pertain to high risk insureds, disrupted markets or lines of business or geographic areas where rates are regarded as excessive. The results of the residual markets are not subject to the predictability associated with the Company’s own managed business, and are significant to both the personal and commercial automobile lines of business.

Statutory Accounting Practices [Abstract]
Statutory Financial Information	16. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities (statutory basis), as codified by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”). Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices differ from state to state, may differ from company to company within a state, and may change in the future. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries did not have any permitted practices as of or for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Statutory capital and surplus differs from shareholders’ equity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP primarily because under the statutory basis of accounting, deferred acquisition costs are expensed when incurred and the recognition of deferred tax assets is based on different recoverability assumptions. The following table provides statutory net income for the years ended December 31 and statutory capital and surplus for the insurance subsidiaries as of December 31 for the periods indicated: (in millions) 2021 2020 2019 Statutory Net Income $ 301.3 $ 360.9 $ 348.4 Statutory Capital and Surplus 2,720.0 2,588.5 2,470.2 The minimum statutory capital and surplus necessary to satisfy the Company’s regulatory requirements was $593.9 million, $552.6 million and $531.8 million, which equals the Authorized Control Level at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION	A. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. (“THG” or the “Company”), include the accounts of The Hanover Insurance Company (“Hanover Insurance”) and Citizens Insurance Company of America (“Citizens”), THG’s principal property and casualty companies; and other insurance and non-insurance subsidiaries. These legal entities conduct their operations through several business segments discussed in Note 12 – “Segment Information.” The consolidated financial statements also include the Company’s discontinued operations, consisting primarily of the Company’s former accident and health and life insurance businesses and our former Chaucer operations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of the Company’s management these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations.
INVESTMENTS	B. Investments Fixed maturities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The amortized cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Equity securities are carried at fair value . Increases and decreases in fair value are reported in net income. Other investments consist primarily of mortgage participations and limited partnerships. Mortgage participations represent interests in commercial mortgage loans originated and serviced by a third-party of which the Company shares, on a pro-rata basis, in all related cash flows of the underlying mortgage loans. Mortgage participations are stated at unpaid principal balances adjusted for deferred fees or expenses, net of an allowance for credit losses. Investments in limited partnerships include interests in private equity and real estate funds. Investments in limited partnership interests purchased prior to January 1, 2018, where the Company’s interest is so minor that it exercises virtually no influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for at fair value utilizing the net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient to determine fair value. All other limited partnerships are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The Company excludes accrued interest receivable from both the estimated fair value and the amortized cost basis of its investment securities, and reports such amounts separately on the consolidated balance sheets as accrued investment income. When an accrued interest receivable is deemed uncollectible it is written off as a charge to investment income, rather than recorded through an allowance. Net investment income includes interest, dividends and income from limited partnership interests. Interest income is recognized based on the effective yield method, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. The effective yield used to determine the amortization for fixed maturities subject to prepayment risk, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, is recalculated and adjusted periodically based upon actual historical and projected future cash flows. The adjustment to yields for highly rated prepayable fixed maturities is accounted for using the retrospective method. The adjustment to yields for all other prepayable fixed maturities is accounted for using the prospective method. Fixed maturities and mortgage participations for which payments are delinquent are placed on non-accrual status, and thereafter interest income is recognized only when cash payments are received. Realized investment gains and losses on sales are reported as a component of revenues based upon specific identification of the investment assets sold. Impairments are reported as realized investment losses, and include credit losses (and any subsequent recoveries) on fixed maturities and mortgage participations, and intend-to-sell impairment losses on fixed maturities. Changes in the fair value of equity securities are reported in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), including increases and decreases in fair value on securities that are still held and realized gains and losses on securities that have been sold. The Company reviews fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position and assesses whether it intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the debt security meets either of these two criteria, an intend-to-sell impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment measurement date. If neither of the above criteria are met, the credit loss portion of the unrealized loss is recorded through earnings and the non-credit portion remains in other comprehensive income. Credit losses are estimated by comparing the amortized cost of the fixed maturity security with the net present value of the security’s projected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the investment prior to impairment. The non-credit portion of the impairment is equal to the difference between the fair value and the net present value of the security’s cash flows at the impairment measurement date. Until January 1, 2020, intend-to-sell impairments and credit losses on fixed maturities resulted in a reduction of the amortized cost basis of the security, and reversal of an impairment was not allowed. Beginning January 1, 2020, credit losses are recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than an adjustment to amortized cost. Recoveries of impairments on fixed maturities are recognized as reversals of the allowance for credit loss and are no longer accreted as investment income through an adjustment to investment yield. The allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount that fair value is less than amortized cost and therefore, increases in the fair value of investments due to reasons other than credit could result in decreases in the allowance and an increase in net income. Mortgage participations are pooled by similar risk characteristics and evaluated for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using expected loss rates, which vary based on risk factors such as property type, geographic market, and loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	C. Financial Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including debt, investments, such as fixed maturities, equity securities and mortgage loans, investment and loan commitments, and certain derivative contracts. These instruments involve credit risk and could also be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS	D . Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS	E. Deferred Acquisition Costs Acquisition costs consist of commissions, underwriting costs and other costs, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the successful production of premiums. Acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the insurance policies. Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) for each operating segment are reviewed to determine if the costs are recoverable from future income, including investment income. If such costs are determined to be unrecoverable, they are expensed at the time of determination. Although recoverability of DAC is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be recovered. The amount of DAC considered recoverable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of total revenues discussed above are reduced or permanently impaired as a result of a disposition of a line of business. The amount of amortization of DAC could be revised in the near term if any of the estimates discussed above are revised.
REINSURANCE RECOVERABLES	F. Reinsurance Recoverables The Company shares certain insurance risks it has underwritten, through the use of reinsurance contracts, with various insurance entities. Reinsurance accounting is followed for ceded transactions when the risk transfer provisions of ASC 944, Financial Services – Insurance .
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE AND LEASES	G. Property, Equipment, Capitalized Software AND LEASES Property, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is generally provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 3 to 30 years. The estimated useful life for capitalized software is generally 5 to 7 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The Company has entered into operating and financing leases through which it uses “right-of-use” assets that are recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally provided using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range from 4 to 6 years for real estate and fleet leases. The Company tests for the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment losses only to the extent that the carrying amounts of long-lived assets exceed the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. When an impairment loss occurs, the Company reduces the carrying value of the asset to fair value and no longer depreciates the asset. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	H. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company carries its goodwill at cost, net of amortization accumulated prior to January 1, 2002, and net of impairments. Increases to goodwill are generated through acquisition and represent the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired, including any intangibles acquired. Since January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but, rather, is reviewed for impairment. Additionally, acquisitions can also produce intangible assets, which have either a definite or indefinite life. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over that life, whereas those intangible assets determined to have an indefinite life are reviewed at least annually for impairment. The Company tests for the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment losses only to the extent that the carrying amounts of reporting units with goodwill exceed the fair value. The amount of the impairment loss that would be recognized is determined based upon the excess of the carrying value of goodwill compared to the implied fair value of the goodwill, as determined with respect to all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The Company has performed its annual review of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment in the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2020 with no impairments recognized. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company held goodwill of $178.8 million and intangible assets with indefinite lives of $15.0 million.
LIABILITIES FOR LOSSES, LAE, AND UNEARNED PREMIUMS	I. LIABILITIES FOR LOSSES, LAE AND UNEARNED PREMIUMS Liabilities for outstanding claims, losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) are estimates of payments to be made for reported losses and LAE and estimates of losses and LAE incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). These liabilities are determined using case basis evaluations and statistical analyses of historical loss patterns, and represent estimates of the ultimate cost of all losses incurred but not paid. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary; adjustments are reflected in current operations. Estimated amounts of salvage and subrogation on unpaid losses are deducted from the liability for unpaid claims. Premiums for direct and assumed business are reported as earned on a pro-rata basis over the contract period. The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums. All losses, LAE and unearned premium liabilities are based on the various estimates discussed in this note. Although the adequacy of these amounts cannot be assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that these liabilities and accruals will be sufficient to meet future obligations of policies in force. The amount of liabilities and accruals, however, could be revised in the near-term if the estimates discussed above are revised.
DEBT	J. Debt The Company’s debt at December 31, 2021 includes senior and subordinated debentures. Debt instruments are carried at principal amount borrowed, net of any applicable unamortized discounts and issuance costs. See Note 5 – “Debt and Credit Arrangements.”
PREMIUM, PREMIUM RECEIVABLE, FEE REVENUE AND RELATED EXPENSES	K. Premium, Premium Receivable, Fee Revenue and Related Expenses Insurance premiums written are generally recorded at the policy inception and are primarily earned on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the policies for all products. Premiums written may also include estimates that are derived from multiple sources, which include the historical experience of the underlying business, similar businesses, and available industry information. These estimates are regularly reviewed and updated, and any resulting adjustments are included in the current year’s results. Unearned premium reserves represent the portion of premiums written that relates to the unexpired terms of the underlying in-force insurance policies and reinsurance contracts. Premium receivables reflect the unpaid balance of premiums written as of the balance sheet date. Premium receivables are generally short-term in nature and are reported net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible premium accounts. The Company reviews its receivables for collectability at the balance sheet date. The allowance for uncollectible accounts was not material as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Ceded premiums are charged to income over the applicable term of the various reinsurance contracts with third-party reinsurers. Reinsurance reinstatement premiums, when required, are recognized in the same period as the loss event that gave rise to the reinstatement premiums. Losses and related expenses are matched with premiums, resulting in their recognition over the lives of the contracts. This matching is accomplished through estimated and unpaid losses and amortization of deferred acquisition costs.
INCOME TAXES	L. Income Taxes The Company is subject to the tax laws and regulations of the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions, as well as foreign jurisdictions in which it operates or where it operated previously. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return that includes the holding company and its U.S. subsidiaries. Generally, taxes are accrued at the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% for income from the U.S. operations. The Company accrues taxes on certain non-U.S. income that is subject to U.S. tax at the enacted U.S. tax rate. Foreign tax credits, where available, were utilized to offset U.S. tax, as permitted. The Company’s accounting for income taxes represents its best estimate of various events and transactions. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by ASC 740, Income Taxes The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Consideration is given to all available positive and negative evidence, including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Valuation allowances are established if, based on available information, it is determined that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are generally reflected in income tax expense or as an adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the nature of the item for which the valuation allowance is being recorded.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	M. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes the fair value of compensation costs for all share-based payments, including employee stock options, in the financial statements. Unvested awards are generally expensed on a straight-line basis, by tranche, over the vesting period of the award. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are discussed further in Note 9 – “Stock-Based Compensation Plans.”
EARNINGS PER SHARE	N. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share (“EPS”) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is based on a weighted average of the number of shares outstanding during each year. Basic and diluted EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic EPS differ from the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS due to the effect of dilutive employee stock options, nonvested stock grants, and other contingently issuable shares. If the effect of such items is antidilutive, the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS would be equal to those used to calculate basic EPS. Options to purchase shares of common stock whose exercise prices are greater than the average market price of the common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	O. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Implemented Standards In October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Update No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs In January 2020, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) In December 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes changes in tax laws, business combinations and employee stock plans, among others. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
