The second quarter 2021 was impacted by wind and hail events in Texas. Approximately 70% of the second quarter 2021 catastrophe losses occurred within homeowners. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE during the second quarter 2021 included 4.3 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $15.9 million, versus 0.6 points of favorable development, or $2.0 million, for the same period in 2020.

Net written premium for the second quarter 2021 increased 8.0% compared to the same period in 2020. By insurance segment, net written premium for the commercial insurance segment increased 18.0% and the personal insurance segment increased 1.4%. The increase in the commercial segment was primarily driven by new business growth and rate increases in commercial auto and farm & ranch. The net written premium growth was partially offset by a decrease in net written premiums in workers’ compensation due to our 2020 decision to not renew and no longer write nursing home business. The increase in the personal segment was primarily due to increased rates in homeowners and other personal and new business growth in other personal. The net written premium growth was partially offset by a decline in new business in personal auto.

Net written premium for the first six months of 2021 increased 5.9% compared to the same period in 2020. By insurance segment, net written premium for the commercial insurance segment increased 15.6% and the personal insurance segment decreased 0.8%. The trends in the personal and commercial net written premiums are due to the same factors discussed above for the second quarter.

Book Value and Return on Equity

STFC’s book value increased to $22.18 per share as of June 30, 2021, compared to $22.07 on March 31, 2021. The increase in book value was primarily driven by an increase in the fair market value of fixed income investments attributable to lower interest rates.

Return on stockholders’ equity for the 12 months ended June 30, 2021, was 10.2% compared to (3.9)% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020.

STFC’s Chairman, President and CEO Mike LaRocco commented on the quarter as follows:

“On July 12, we announced our plans to be acquired by Liberty Mutual, whose domestic personal lines and small commercial insurance is an ideal complement to our capabilities and product expertise. This transaction, which we expect to close in 2022 pending the appropriate member, shareholder, and regulatory approvals, furthers our commitment to independent agents and will contribute to the collective success of our agents, policyholders, shareholders and associates.

“The second quarter statutory combined ratio for our ongoing lines of business of 108.0 included catastrophe losses, primarily in homeowners, in excess of what was expected in the quarter that typically produces the highest amount of catastrophe losses each year. In commercial lines, overall growth and profitability continued, with net written premium growing 18.0% and a quarterly statutory combined ratio of 93.1%. The State Auto Group has now written in excess of $1.0 billion of commercial lines net written premiums in the twelve months ended June 30, 2021.

“Over the past six years, we’ve clearly demonstrated our ability to build the teams, technology and products required to deliver sustained profitable growth. In the months ahead, our focus will remain to make progress toward that goal throughout all our lines of business.”

For STFC, this amounted to income of $0.48 and $1.16 per diluted share for the second quarter and year to date 2021, respectively, versus income of $1.35 per diluted share for the second quarter 2020 and a loss of $1.07 year to date 2020.
