Investment gains and losses, net$20M-98% YoY
Prior-year quarter included $855M unrealized gains on equity securities still held; current quarter gains were minimal.
Largest Expense Items
Insurance losses and contract holders' benefits$1,675M+9% YoY
Current accident year catastrophe losses rose to $283M from $111M, mostly weather related, partly offset by favorable prior-year reserve development.
Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses$799M+6% YoY
Filing attributes the increase primarily to timing of recognition of certain expenses and higher commission expenses in commercial lines.
Provision for income taxes$94M-68% YoY
Effective tax rate of 17.0% versus 20.6% a year earlier, driven by changes in underwriting income and investment gains and losses.
Margins: Pretax income fell to $553M from $1,413M, mainly because prior-year investment gains did not recur. Consolidated property casualty combined ratio rose to 90.9% from 88.2%, driven by catastrophe losses.
Watch Items from the Filing
Current accident year catastrophe losses were $283M in Q3 2026 versus $111M in Q3 2025, contributing 10.8 points to the property casualty combined ratio.
Net income fell 59% YoY to $459M, with diluted EPS of $2.96 versus $7.11, reflecting the absence of prior-year equity investment gains.
Net unrealized losses on fixed-maturity and short-term investments reached $1.489B at September 30, 2026, versus $181M at year-end 2025, reducing other comprehensive income.
Favorable prior accident year reserve development of $94M in Q3 2026 benefited the quarter's loss ratio.
