------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeco (NASDAQ:SAFC) today reported first-quarter net income of $90.0
million, or $0.65 per diluted share. This marks a significant improvement over
the same period in 2002, when Safeco generated net income of $63.6 million, or
$0.50 per share.
Excluding the effects of net realized investment gains and losses,
Safeco produced operating earnings of $122.4 million--considerably stronger than
the first quarter of 2002 when the company generated $43.5 million in operating
earnings.
"We had a good quarter. The underlying results for each business unit
were better than expected," said Mike McGavick, Safeco chairman and chief
executive officer.
"Added to this, mild weather and the unexpectedly strong performance of
our stop-loss medical line turned it into a great quarter," he said.
Safeco recorded after-tax impairments of $54.7 million in the first
quarter, primarily related to Life & Investments' holdings in the airline and
franchise sectors. This
resulted in an after-tax net realized investment loss of
$32.4 million, compared with a $20.1 million gain in the first quarter of 2002.
"The performance of our investment portfolio doesn't appear out of the
ordinary in comparison with other significant holders of bonds, which most life
insurance operations are," McGavick said.
Return on equity, based on annualized net income was 8.9 percent in the
first quarter. Operating return on equity, measured using annualized operating
earnings and excluding FAS115 unrealized gains, was 15.2 percent.
Total revenues in the quarter increased to $1.762 billion, up 2.9
percent from $1.713 billion for the same period in 2002. Operating
revenues--excluding net realized investment gains (losses)--grew 7.7 percent.
"Our core lines are showing continued, steady progress," McGavick
noted. "We're successfully growing our business and our profits at the same
time."
Safeco's Property & Casualty units generated $21.0 million in
underwriting profits in the first quarter, a significant improvement over the
$91.3 million underwriting loss for the same period in 2002.
"It's gratifying to turn in our first underwriting profit in more than
four years," McGavick said. "We're definitely making solid progress toward our
goal of consistently generating an underwriting profit.
"Looking forward, however, second quarter is when we typically
experience our largest storm losses. We're less than a month into the quarter,
and we've already been hit by a Texas hailstorm with losses of about $30
million," he added. "While we expect to show continued improvement in our core
results, we know today we're not going to benefit from another lucky break in
the weather."
Net earned premiums for all Property & Casualty operations increased
5.8 percent compared with the first quarter a year ago; and net written premiums
increased 10.9 percent.
Property & Casualty investment income declined to $82.7 million after
tax, compared with $88.7 million for the first quarter a year ago. The lower
results reflect a continued decline in interest rates and the repositioning of
the Property & Casualty investment portfolio in 2002 to reduce the average
duration of holdings.
Safeco Personal Insurance Performance
Personal Auto, Safeco's largest product line, generated a modest pretax
underwriting loss of $1.5 million, better than the $20.3 million underwriting
loss in the first quarter of 2002.
Auto produced a combined ratio in the quarter of 100.3--an improvement
over both 104.5 in the first quarter of 2002 and 102.0 in the fourth quarter.
Combined ratio is a standard gauge of underwriting performance measuring the
percentage of premium dollars used for customer claims and expenses. The lower
the ratio, the more effective the underwriting.
Net written Auto premiums increased 18.3 percent in the first quarter
compared with the same period of 2002. Policies in force increased 9.6 percent
compared with the first quarter of 2002, and the number of total Auto customers
continued above 1.5 million for the second consecutive quarter.
"We're very pleased with the performance of this line," McGavick said.
"Adding to the good news, we just received approval to sell our new Auto product
in California and Washington--our two largest markets. This should help drive
profitable growth throughout the year."
Safeco's Homeowners line produced a pretax underwriting profit of $19.5
million in the first quarter, marking the third consecutive profitable quarter
for this product. By comparison, Homeowners generated an $18.2 million
underwriting loss for the first quarter of 2002.
"The Homeowners team is doing an excellent job managing this line for
profitability," McGavick said. "Still, if we had typical weather in the first
quarter, the line would have been unprofitable in the quarter."
Homeowners reported $21.1 million in weather and catastrophe losses,
down from $29.8 million in the first quarter of 2002. Combined ratio improved to
89.7, better than both the 110.0 in the first quarter of 2002 and 93.5 in the
fourth quarter.
Net written premium in Homeowners increased 3.3 percent compared with
the first quarter of last year. Policies in force decreased 8.3 percent compared
with the same period of 2002. Both trends are consistent with Safeco's plans to
return this line to appropriate levels of profitability.
"As an industry, we have a ways to go before declaring that Homeowners
insurance is earning a respectable return for shareholders," McGavick noted.
"During the past few quarters, Homeowners results industry-wide have benefited
from light weather and catastrophe losses."
Safeco Business Insurance Performance
Safeco Business Insurance reported a quarterly pretax underwriting loss
of $5.2 million, markedly better than the $59.1 million underwriting loss for
the same period in 2002.
Combined ratio improved to 101.5, compared to 115.7 for the first
quarter of 2002 and 104.9 for the fourth quarter. Total weather and catastrophe
losses in the quarter were $10.1 million, compared with $11.3 million in losses
in the same period last year.
SBI Regular--Safeco's core line of products for small- to medium-sized
businesses--reported a combined ratio 102.0 in quarter, better than the 109.2 in
the first quarter of 2002 but off from 97.0 in the fourth quarter when the line
benefited from favorable catastrophe reserve development.
Losses from the commercial business Safeco is running off its books
declined to $6.3 million during the first quarter.
"Clearly, the rate and underwriting actions we've taken are showing up
in these results," McGavick said, "and the runoff book has an increasingly small
impact."
Net written premium for Safeco Business Insurance grew 4.0 percent in
the first quarter compared with the same period in 2002. Net written premiums
for SBI Regular increased 7.0 percent year over year.
New business for SBI Regular increased 13.7 percent in the quarter,
while policies in force decreased 7.4 percent. "Business insurance sales were
slow at the start of the quarter," McGavick said, "yet we saw healthy growth in
March as more and more agents began using our online automated underwriting
model."
Surety Performance
Surety generated a pretax underwriting profit of $3.7 million, up from
$3.1 million in the first quarter of 2002. Combined ratio for Surety was 88.6 in
the quarter, compared with 89.5 in the first quarter of 2002 and 81.4 in the
fourth quarter.
"Once again, Surety turned in another solid performance," McGavick
said.
Life & Investments Performance
Safeco Life & Investments produced record pretax operating earnings of
$71.8 million--21.5 percent higher than the $59.1 million posted in the first
quarter of 2002. This marks the third consecutive quarter Life & Investments has
set a new record for operating earnings.
Most of the gains are attributable to the performance of the Group line
of stop-loss medical insurance. Group produced pretax operating earnings of
$29.0 million in the first quarter of 2002, up from $10.2 million during the
same period last year. Earned premiums increased from $85.9 million in the first
quarter of 2002 to $140.6 million this year, reflecting the acquisition of a
large book of business from Swiss Re in mid-2002.
Group's positive performance in the quarter is attributable to an
exceptionally low loss ratio of 56.0 percent, compared with 60.0 percent in the
first quarter of 2002. Loss ratio measures claims expense as a percentage of
total premiums--the lower the ratio, the stronger the performance.
In conjunction with low medical claims costs, Group experienced
favorable reserve development of $10.5 million. "Some of the nation's largest
healthcare operations are reporting that hospital and doctor visits were well
below their projections for the quarter," McGavick said. "We believe this
contributed to the unusually low loss ratio."
Income Annuities generated $10.1 million in pretax operating earnings
in the quarter, up from $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2002. Income
Annuities results included favorable pre-payment adjustments on mortgage-backed
securities of $3.7 million compared to unfavorable adjustments of $0.7 million a
year ago.
The Retirement Services line produced $5.0 million pretax operating
earnings in the first quarter, compared with $8.0 million during the same
quarter of 2002. The change is largely the result of lower operating income from
variable annuities, reflecting the decline in performance of equity markets
during the quarter.
Individual Life generated pretax operating earnings of $1.9 million,
off from $6.7 million during the same period in 2002. This is largely the result
of higher claims during the quarter.
The Asset Management line reported pretax operating earnings of $0.1
million, down from $2.3 million in first quarter 2002. This reflects lower fees
due to equity market values as well as a net outflow of funds. Assets under
management decreased from $4.9 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2002
to $3.7 billion.

Combined Ratio Graphs
Since the second quarter of 2001, Safeco has used graphs to report
combined ratios for key Property & Casualty lines. These graphs were intended to
help investors better understand the effect of weather and catastrophe losses on
underwriting performance by displaying combined ratios three ways:
o Total combined ratio;
o Combined ratio, excluding catastrophe losses (which Safeco defines as
single events that generate multiple claims and total customer losses in
excess of $500,000); and
o Combined ratio, excluding catastrophe and non-catastrophe weather losses.
Starting this quarter, Safeco has revised its financial supplement to
report total combined ratios, loss ratios and expense ratios for key lines. In
addition, Safeco will provide information about the effects of weather and
catastrophe losses where significant. This information allows investors to track
underwriting performance using the same metrics Safeco management uses to track
performance.
Since Safeco now is reporting this information in the financial
supplement, it will discontinue publishing the following combined ratio graphs
after this quarter.

L & I Other
Corporate includes all other activities, primarily the financing of our business
activities.
In addition to financial measures presented in the consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (GAAP), we also use certain non-GAAP financial measures to
analyze and report our financial results. Management believes that these
non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, can aid in understanding our financial condition and results of
operations. These non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures, and
where these measures are described we provide tables that reconcile the non-GAAP
measures to the GAAP measures reported in our consolidated financial statements.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to analyze
the revenues derived directly from our Property & Casualty, Life & Investments
and Corporate operations. It excludes net realized investment gains and losses
that can fluctuate significantly and distort a comparison between periods. The
following table provides a reconciliation of operating revenues to revenues, the
most directly comparable GAAP measure.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2003 2002
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Revenues $ 1,762.3 $ 1,712.6
Net Realized Investment (Gains) Losses 49.9 (30.6)
------------------------
Operating Revenues $ 1,812.2 $ 1,682.0
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Earnings
Operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use to assess the
profitability of our consolidated business. In the determination of operating
earnings, we exclude net realized investment gains and losses from net income.
Net realized investment gains and losses can fluctuate significantly and distort
a comparison between periods. The following table reconciles operating earnings
to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2003 2002
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Income $ 90.0 $ 63.6
Net Realized Investment (Gains) Losses, Net of Taxes 32.4 (20.1)
------------------------
Operating Earnings $ 122.4 $ 43.5
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Return on Equity
Operating return on equity is a ratio we calculate using non-GAAP measures. It
is calculated by dividing the annualized operating earnings for the most recent
quarter by the average ending shareholders' equity for the previous five
quarters, excluding from equity after-tax unrealized investment gains and losses
on fixed maturities. This ratio provides management with an additional measure
to evaluate Safeco's results excluding the unrealized changes in the valuation
of its fixed maturities portfolio that can fluctuate between periods. The
following table reconciles operating return on equity to return on equity, the
most directly comparable GAAP measure.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 ANNUALIZED* 2003 2002
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Income for the three months ended March 31 $ 90.0 $ 63.6
Average Shareholders' Equity 4,047.0 3,692.5
Return on Equity Based on Annualized Net Income 8.9% 6.9%
Operating Earnings for the three months ended March 31 $ 122.4 $ 43.5
Average Shareholders' Equity 4,047.0 3,692.5
Average Unrealized Fixed Maturities Investment Gains, Net of Tax 831.2 456.0
------------------------
Adjusted Average Shareholders' Equity 3,215.8 3,236.5
Operating Return on Equity Based on Annualized Operating Earnings 15.2% 5.4%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Net Income and Operating Earnings have been annualized for purposes of this
calculation only. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2003. Annualized amounts for 2002 are not reflective of the actual
amounts for the year ended December 31, 2002.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Property & Casualty Net Written Premium
Net written premium is a non-GAAP measure representing the amount of premium
charged for policies issued during the period. Premiums are reflected as revenue
in the Consolidated Statements of Income as they are earned over the underlying
policy period. Net written premiums applicable to the unexpired term of a policy
are recorded as unearned premium on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Safeco's
management views net written premium as a measure of business production trends
for the period under review and as a leading indicator of earned premium. The
following table reconciles net written premium to net earned premium, the most
directly comparable GAAP measure on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2003 2002
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Property & Casualty Net Earned Premium $ 1,163.1 $ 1,099.5
Change in Unearned Premium Liability 42.7 (11.9)
------------------------
Total Property & Casualty Net Written Premium $ 1,205.8 $ 1,087.6
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Segment Profit (Loss) Measures
We have provided the following table that details the GAAP measure Income Before
Income Taxes and Distributions on Capital Securities on our Consolidated
Statements of Income. This is the most directly comparable GAAP measure used to
reconcile to Property & Casualty underwriting profit (loss) and Life &
Investments pretax operating earnings.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2003 2002
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Property & Casualty $ 132.3 $ 59.8
Life & Investments 13.7 47.8
Corporate (5.3) (14.0)
------------------------
Income Before Income Taxes and Distributions on Capital Securities $ 140.7 $ 93.6
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Property & Casualty Underwriting Profit (Loss)
Underwriting profit (loss) represents the net amount of earned premium less
underwriting losses and expenses on a pretax basis. Management views
underwriting profit (loss) as a critical measure to assess the underwriting
effectiveness of the Property & Casualty operations and to evaluate the results
of these business units. The related investment portfolio is managed separately
from these underwriting businesses and, accordingly, net investment income and
net realized investment gains and losses are discussed separately. The following
table reconciles underwriting profit (loss) to Income before Income Taxes and
Distributions on Capital Securities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure
on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2003 2002

Life & Investments Pretax Operating Earnings
Life & Investments' results are evaluated based on pretax operating earnings, a
non-GAAP measure, which excludes net realized investment gains and losses.
Management believes the presentation of pretax operating earnings enhances the
understanding of our Life & Investments results of operations by excluding net
realized investment gains and losses, which can fluctuate significantly and
distort a comparison between periods. The following table reconciles pretax
operating earnings to Income before Income Taxes and Distributions on Capital
Securities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure on our Consolidated
Statements of Income.

*As each existing old Safeco Commercial policy comes up for renewal (reported in
Run-off), a decision is made by Special Accounts Facility to renew or not renew.
If it is renewed it becomes part of Special Accounts Facility, otherwise results
associated with the discontinued account remain in Run-off. In addition, this
number is impacted by the acquisition of the ACE lender-placed property business
of $80 million in premiums in 4Q 2001.
Surety premiums reflect a change from a 50% quota share reinsurance treaty to an
excess of loss treaty in February 2001.
