Management Commentary
“During the second quarter we closed on the strategic sale of Westminster American Insurance Company,” said Michael J. Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The sale has enabled us to refocus our efforts and resources on our core business and the actions necessary to deliver appropriate returns to our shareholders. We continue to benefit from prior rate actions, which were ahead of much of the industry and contributed to strong growth in our Non-Standard Auto and Home and Farm segments and improved profitability in Private Passenger Auto.
The second quarter is generally a time of volatile weather in the Upper Midwest, and our Home and Farm segment was once again impacted by non-catastrophe weather-related losses during the quarter. Overall, we continue to focus on pursuing continued aggressive rate and underwriting actions, along with other strategic measures to improve our overall risk profile across all lines of business. We remain confident that these actions will enable all segments to achieve profitable results over time.”
