GAAP Combined Ratio
The GAAP combined ratio decreased by 10.6 percentage points to 100.8 percent for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 111.4 percent in the same period in 2020.

The decrease in the combined ratio during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily driven by both a decrease in the net loss ratio and underwriting expense ratio.
Net Loss Ratio
The GAAP net loss ratio decreased 10.1 percentage points during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in catastrophe losses and a decrease in the frequency and severity of commercial auto liability losses. Year-to-date, the GAAP net loss ratio increased 0.6 percentage points to 74.1 percent compared to 73.5 percent for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the net loss ratio was primarily due to prior accident year reserve strengthening on commercial auto claims in the first quarter of 2021 partially offset by a decrease in catastrophe losses.
Pre-tax catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2021 were lower than our 10-year historical average for the second quarter and when compared to second quarter of 2020, with catastrophe losses adding 9.6 percentage points to the combined ratio in 2021, as compared to 19.2 percentage points in 2020.

The decrease in the underwriting expense ratio in both the second quarter of 2021 and year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily due to the change in the design of our employee post-retirement benefit plans and a decrease in the acceleration of the amortization of our deferred acquisition costs due to improved profitability in our commercial auto line of business.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations to Comparable GAAP Measures
The Company prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate its operations and profitability. As further explained below, management believes that disclosure of certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances investor understanding of our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report include: adjusted operating income (loss) and net premiums written. The Company has provided the following definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures:
Adjusted operating income (loss): Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated by excluding net realized investment gains and losses, after applicable federal and state income taxes from net income. Management believes adjusted operating income (loss) is a meaningful measure for evaluating insurance company performance and a useful supplement to GAAP information because it better represents the normal, ongoing performance of our business. Investors and equity analysts who invest and report on the insurance industry and the Company generally focus on this metric in their analyses.

Net premiums written: While not a substitute for any GAAP measure of performance, net premiums written is frequently used by industry analysts and other recognized reporting sources to facilitate comparisons of the performance of insurance companies. Net premiums written are the amount charged for insurance policy contracts issued and recognized on an annualized basis at the effective date of the policy. Management believes net premiums written are a meaningful measure for evaluating insurance company sales performance and geographical expansion efforts. Net premiums written for an insurance company consists of direct premiums written and reinsurance assumed, less reinsurance ceded. Net premiums earned is calculated on a pro rata basis over the terms of the respective policies. Unearned premium reserves are established for the portion of premiums written applicable to the unexpired term of insurance policy in force. The difference between net premiums earned and net premiums written is the change in unearned premiums and change in prepaid reinsurance premiums.
