  November 5, 2024

  George M. Murphy, Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The direct written premium growth that Safety has experienced is impacting our top-line revenue, which increased by 21.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 over the prior year. We continue to see increased policy counts and premium rate actions that are earning into our results and contributing to improvements in our loss ratios. While private passenger automobile loss severity trends remain higher than historical averages, we are seeing moderation during the current quarter. Our combined ratio for the quarter improved to 100.7% from 104.8% in the prior year. In addition, ongoing increases in other revenue lines contribute to stronger quarterly earnings per share and an increase in book value of 5.5%.”

  George M. Murphy, Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are seeing the financial impact of both ongoing rate increases and growth in policy counts with net earned premium increasing by 22.1% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023. However, the growth in policy counts combined with ongoing inflationary trends in the Private Passenger Automobile book of business has resulted in an increase in current year loss experience compared to second quarter of 2023.”

  George M. Murphy, Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are beginning to see the financial impact of our prior year growth with net earned premium increasing for the quarter by 23.1%. As a result, our first quarter combined ratio in 2024 improved to 101.9% compared to 118.5% in the first quarter of 2023, which was impacted by a Winter Freeze event. While severity trends in our Private Passenger Automobile book of business are showing signs of stabilization, the losses and loss adjustment expenses in 2024 are still being impacted by continued inflationary pressure. We continue to see positive trends in all revenue line items and have been approved for additional rate increases across multiple lines of business. We remain confident in our pricing and underwriting strategies.”
