| 3 Expense Reclassification During the first quarter of 2010, the Company made certain reclassifications to the expense classifications on the Consolidated Statement of Income. These reclassifications were made to enable the user of the financial statements to calculate the GAAP combined ratio directly from the Consolidated Statement of Income. As a result, the Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 has been reclassified to conform to this revised presentation. These reclassifications do not change total expenses or consolidated net income as originally reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Please refer to Form 8-k filed on May 3, 2010 for further detail. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, this refinement resulted in a 2.4 percentage point increase in the expense ratio, a 1.0 percentage point decrease in the loss and LAE ratio and a decrease of $6.2 million in general selling and administrative costs. |
| 4 YTD 2010 v. YTD 2009 Comparison (in thousands, except ratios) Underwriting and Investing Activities Top line premium growth driven primarily by new initiatives that were launched in the second half of 2009 Growth in net investment income reflects 12.2% growth in average invested assets, off-set by a prolonged low reinvestment rate environment in 2010 See slide 4/ for combined ratio analysis Net Commissions & Fees Decline in fee and commission revenue during 2010 partially offset by cost reduction efforts The decrease in general selling and administrative expenses reflects our ability to leverage fixed costs Other Expenses (i.e. general corporate, amortization, and interest expense) Reduction in other expenses driven primarily by lower interest expense due primarily to a lower average outstanding debt balance and a scheduled reduction in the amortization of our intangible assets |
| 5 YTD 2010 v. YTD 2009 Combined Ratio Analysis Loss and LAE Ratio The 2010 loss ratio includes the 1.0 point reduction to ULAE due to the refinement of the allocation process for administrative expenses and claims handling expenses Excluding this change to ULAE, the 2010 loss and LAE ratio is consistent with YTD 2009 Expense Ratio The YTD 2010 expense ratio increase reflects an increase in external expenses, including higher commissions paid to agents for performing certain policy processing activities The YTD 2009 expense ratio was favorably impacted by premium tax credits related to 2008 insurance related assessments during Q1 2009 We refined our allocation process between administrative expense and claims handling expenses, which resulted in a 1.0 point reduction in the ULAE ratio and an increase in the expense ratio. Otherwise, YTD 2010 internal expenses are slightly down from 2009 indicating that we have leveraged fixed costs or reducing the normalized combined ratio by approximately 1.9 percentage points.
