In September 2025, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This Update eliminates the traditional three-stage sequential software development model (preliminary, application development, and post-implementation) and instead requires capitalization to begin once management has authorized and commits funding to each software project, and completion of the software for its intended use is probable. The guidance states that the "probable-to-complete" recognition threshold is not met until significant development uncertainty has been resolved. Additionally, disclosure requirements for internal-use software have been updated to align with those for property, plant, and equipment under ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment - Overall , regardless of whether the software is classified as intangible or tangible. This Update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This guidance may be implemented either on a prospective, modified, or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance to its financial position and results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) . This Update requires entities to disclose, at each interim and annual reporting period, specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. Entities must disclose the amounts, in a tabular format, of relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contain expenses associated with employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, the Update requires qualitative disclosure of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the disclosure of total of selling expenses, among other items. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods, as clarified in ASC Update No. 2025-01, beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This guidance may be implemented either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company does not expect implementation of this guidance to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations, as the Update is disclosure related.

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 applicable pricing service along with supporting documentation for its review. The Company does not adjust quotes or prices obtained from the pricing services unless the pricing service agrees with the Company's challenge. During the first six nine months of 2025 and 2024, the Company did not adjust any prices received from its pricing services.

There were no securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 during the three months ended June September 30, 2025 and 2024 . There were no securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025. During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2024 , a fixed maturity security was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 because it was valued by a pricing service with observable inputs rather than being valued by the Company's internal matrix model. The Company held no Level 3 liabilities for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The following table provides quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in the fair value measurements of Level 3 assets.

Our strategy, which focuses on the independent agency distribution channel, supports THG's commitment to our select independent agents. It is designed to generate profitable growth by leveraging the strengths of our distribution approach, including expansion of our agency footprint in underpenetrated geographies, as warranted. As part of that strategy, we have increased our capabilities in specialty markets and made investments designed to develop growth solutions for our agency distribution channel that meet the needs of our customers. Our goal is to grow responsibly in all of our businesses, while managing earnings volatility.

During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025, our net income was $285.3 $464.0 million, compared to $156.0 $258.1 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2024, an improvement of $129.3 $205.9 million. This favorable change was primarily due to higher after-tax operating income.

Operating income before interest expense and income taxes (a non-GAAP financial measure; see also "Results of Operations – Consolidated – Non-GAAP Financial Measures") was $396.3 $644.0 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025, compared to $245.1 $395.7 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2024, an improvement of $151.2 $248.3 million. This increase was primarily due to lower catastrophe losses, improvements in current accident year underwriting results, primarily in Personal Lines, as well as lower catastrophe losses, higher net investment income, and earned premium growth. These improvements were partially offset by higher current accident year losses in our Core Commercial segment. The improved Personal Lines current accident year underwriting results were primarily due to the benefit of earned pricing outpacing loss trends in both homeowners and personal automobile and homeowners lines, and moderated frequency trends, particularly in automobile collision and homeowners property coverages and automobile collision.

Pre-tax catastrophe losses were $203.1 $249.3 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025, compared to $244.0 $349.9 million during the same period of 2024, a decrease of $40.9 $100.6 million.

Net favorable development on prior years' loss reserves was $38.2 $50.3 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2025, compared to $27.8 $41.8 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2024, an increase of $10.4 $8.5 million.

Operating income before interest expense and income taxes decreased in the first six nine months of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses and higher current accident year losses and higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by higher net investment income. The competitive nature of the Core Commercial market requires us to be highly disciplined in our underwriting process to ensure that we write business at acceptable margins, and we continue to seek rate increases across many lines of business.

Specialty offers a comprehensive suite of products focused predominately on small to mid-sized businesses. This includes numerous specialized product areas that are organized into four distinct divisions – Professional and Executive Lines, Specialty Property and Casualty ("Specialty P&C"), Marine, and Surety and Other. We believe that this diverse set of Specialty products, distributed primarily through independent agents, supplemented by select specialists, including wholesalers, helps to enhance our overall agent value and increase growth opportunities by providing agents easier access to placement solutions for Specialty needs, including those that complement Core Commercial accounts.

Approximately 89% of our policies in force ("PIF") have been issued to customers with multiple policies and/or coverages with us. We are focused on seeking profitable growth opportunities, building a distinctive position in the market in order to meet our customers' needs, and diversifying geographically. We continue to seek appropriate rate increases that meet or exceed underlying loss cost trends, subject to regulatory and competitive considerations.

Operating income before interest expense and income taxes

10 unchanged paragraphs

In addition to consolidated net income, discussed above, we assess our financial performance based upon pre-tax "operating income," and we assess the operating performance of each of our four reporting segments based upon the pre-tax operating income (loss) generated by each segment. As reflected in the table above, operating income before interest expense and income taxes excludes interest expense on debt and certain other items, which we believe are not indicative of our core operations, 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 interest expense and 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 interest expense and income taxes are important components in understanding and assessing our overall financial performance, we believe a discussion of operating income before interest expense and income taxes enhances an investor's understanding of our results of operations by highlighting net income attributable to the core operations of the business. However, operating income before interest expense and income taxes, which is a non-GAAP measure, 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.
