HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Hartford (NYSE: HIG) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2026.

"The Hartford delivered another quarter of strong results in an increasingly competitive market," said The Hartford's Chairman and CEO Christopher Swift. "We continue to strengthen our leading position through disciplined execution and investments in technology, data, artificial intelligence and customer-focused risk insights, building on our differentiated capabilities across Property and Casualty and Employee Benefits."

The Hartford's Chief Financial Officer Beth Costello said, "Business Insurance delivered a solid quarter, with 6 percent written premium growth and an underlying combined ratio of 90.1. In Personal Insurance, the underlying combined ratio improved 2.9 points, while growth was impacted by a competitive market. Employee Benefits generated fully insured ongoing premium growth of 4 percent with a core earnings margin of 6.4 percent. Investment income was excellent, supported by higher income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments and a higher level of invested assets. Building on our consistent track record of annual dividend increases, we are pleased to announce a 12 percent increase in the common quarterly dividend.”

Swift continued, "It has been an honor to serve this iconic company, first as CFO and then as CEO for nearly 13 years. As we announced last month, Mo Tooker will succeed me as CEO on March 1, at which time I will transition to Executive Chair, with plans to step down from that role in the second half of 2027. Mo is ideally suited to lead as CEO and guide The Hartford’s next chapter. With our strategy, priorities and commitment to disciplined execution unchanged, The Hartford remains well positioned to continue delivering outstanding ROEs and attractive returns for shareholders."

Third quarter 2026 net income available to common stockholders of $1.3 billion, or $4.82 per diluted share, improved from $1.1 billion in third quarter 2025. Contributing to the results were:

• An increase in earnings driven by 4% growth in P&C earned premium and 4% fully insured ongoing premium growth in Employee Benefits.
• Business Insurance loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 61.1 increased from 57.3 in third quarter 2025, including 1.7 points of higher current accident year catastrophe losses (CAY CATs) and 0.1 points of less favorable prior accident year development (PYD). Underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio* of 59.9 increased from 57.9 in third quarter 2025.
• Personal Insurance loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 67.2 increased from 62.9 in third quarter 2025, including 6.8 points of higher CAY CATs and 0.6 points of less favorable PYD. Underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 61.1 improved 3.1 points from third quarter 2025.
• Net favorable PYD of $594 million, before tax, in third quarter 2026 includes a net gain of $497 million from the impact of commuting the asbestos and environmental adverse development cover (A&E ADC). Net core favorable PYD of $97 million was relatively flat compared with net core favorable PYD of $95 million in third quarter 2025.
• P&C CAY CAT losses of $198 million, before tax, in third quarter 2026, primarily from tornado, wind and hail events, increased from CAY CAT losses of $70 million in third quarter 2025.
• The P&C expense ratio of 29.2 improved from 30.0 in third quarter 2025, primarily driven by a 1.1 point improvement in the Business Insurance expense ratio.
• Employee Benefits loss ratio of 74.9 increased from 70.1 in third quarter 2025, driven by an increase in both the group disability and group life loss ratios.
• The Employee Benefits expense ratio of 25.4 improved from 26.7 in third quarter 2025.
• Net investment income of $850 million, before tax, increased from $755 million in third quarter 2025, primarily driven by increased income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments (LPs) and a higher level of invested assets.
• Net realized losses of $116 million, before tax, in third quarter 2026 compared with net realized losses of $17 million, before tax, in third quarter 2025.
• Income from discontinued operations of $61 million, before tax, was relatively flat compared with $59 million in third quarter 2025.

Third quarter 2026 core earnings of $956 million, or $3.50 per diluted share, decreased from $1,022 million of core earnings in third quarter 2025, primarily reflecting the same drivers as net income, excluding the change in non-core PYD of $497 million resulting from commuting the A&E ADC, the impact of realized gains and losses and income from discontinued operations.

Sept. 30, 2026, book value per diluted share of $68.31 increased 3.0%, from $66.31 at Dec. 31, 2025, principally due to net income in excess of stockholder dividends through Sept. 30, 2026, partially offset by the dilutive effect of share repurchases and a decrease in AOCI, primarily driven by an increase in net unrealized losses on available-for-sale (AFS) securities.

Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI) of $82.47 as of Sept. 30, 2026, increased 12.0%, from $73.62 at Dec. 31, 2025, as the impact from net income in excess of stockholder dividends through Sept. 30, 2026, was partially offset by the dilutive effect of share repurchases.

Net income available to common stockholders' ROE (net income ROE) for the trailing 12-month period ending Sept. 30, 2026, was 25.0%, increasing 4.7 points from Sept. 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in net income available to common stockholders.

Core earnings ROE for the trailing 12-month period ending Sept. 30, 2026, was 17.9%, increasing 0.6 points from Sept. 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in core earnings.

Net income of $132 million in third quarter 2026 decreased from $144 million in third quarter 2025, primarily due to an increase in the loss ratio, partially offset by a lower expense ratio, a change from net realized losses to net realized gains, and increased net investment income.

Fully insured ongoing premiums were up 4% compared with third quarter 2025, including strong new business sales, an increase in exposure on existing accounts and persistency in excess of 90%. Fully insured ongoing sales in third quarter 2026 were relatively consistent with third quarter 2025.

Third quarter 2026 consolidated net investment income of $850 million increased from $755 million in third quarter 2025, primarily driven by increased income from LPs and a higher level of invested assets.

Third quarter 2026 included $156 million, before tax, of LP income which increased from $91 million in third quarter 2025, primarily driven by higher returns on infrastructure and energy transition funds within other funds and sales of underlying investments within real estate joint ventures.

Net realized losses of $116 million, before tax, in third quarter 2026 compared with net realized losses of $17 million, before tax, in third quarter 2025, primarily driven by losses on interest rate derivatives.

Total invested assets of $64.7 billion increased $1.2 billion from Dec. 31, 2025, primarily reflecting growth in the business and receipt of the $1.12 billion A&E ADC commutation amount, partially offset by an increase in net unrealized losses on fixed maturities, AFS, at fair value due to higher interest rates.

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Hartford uses non-GAAP financial measures in this news release to assist investors in analyzing the Company's operating performance for the periods presented herein. Because The Hartford's calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing The Hartford's non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies. Definitions and calculations of other financial measures used in this news release can be found below and in The Hartford's Investor Financial Supplement for third quarter 2026, which is available on the investor relations section of The Hartford's website, https://ir.thehartford.com.

Annualized investment yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments - This non-GAAP measure is calculated as (a) the annualized net investment income, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, divided by (b) the monthly average invested assets at amortized cost, as applicable, excluding derivatives book value and limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The Company believes that annualized investment yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, provides investors with an important measure of the trend in investment earnings because it excludes the impact of the volatility in returns related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments. Annualized investment yield is the most directly comparable U.S GAAP measure. A reconciliation of annualized investment yield to annualized investment yield excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026, and 2025 is provided in the table below.

	Three Months Ended
	Sept 30 2026		Sept 30 2025
Annualized investment yield	5.1	%	4.8	%
Adjustment for income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments	(0.5	)%	(0.2	)%
Annualized investment yield excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments	4.6	%	4.6	%

Net investment income, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments-This non-GAAP measure is the amount of net investment income earned from invested assets, excluding the net investment income related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The Company believes that net investment income, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, provides investors with an important measure of the trend in investment earnings because it excludes the impact of the volatility in returns related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments. Net investment income is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. A reconciliation of net investment income to net investment income excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026, and 2025 is provided in the table below.

	Three Months Ended
	Sept 30 2026			Sept 30 2025
Total net investment income	$	850		$	755
Adjustment for income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments	$	(156	)	$	(91	)
Net investment income excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments	$	694		$	664

Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI) - This is a non-GAAP per share measure that is calculated by dividing (a) common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, after tax, by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Company provides this measure to enable investors to analyze the amount of the Company's net worth that is primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company believes that excluding AOCI from the numerator is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Book value per diluted share is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. A reconciliation of book value per diluted share to book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI) is provided in the table below.

	As of
	Sept 30 2026	Dec 31 2025	Change
Book value per diluted share	$68.31	$66.31	3.0%
Per diluted share impact of AOCI	$14.16	$7.31	93.7%
Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI)	$82.47	$73.62	12.0%
	As of
	Sept 30 2026	Sept 30 2025	Change
Book value per diluted share	$68.31	$63.86	7.0%
Per diluted share impact of AOCI	$14.16	$7.06	100.6%
Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI)	$82.47	$70.92	16.3%

Core earnings - The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings as an important measure of the Company’s operating performance. The Hartford believes that core earnings provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Company’s ongoing businesses because it reveals trends in our insurance businesses that may be obscured by including the net effect of certain items. Therefore, the following items are excluded from core earnings:

• Certain realized gains and losses - Generally realized gains and losses are primarily driven by investment decisions and external economic developments, the nature and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance and underwriting aspects of our business. Accordingly, core earnings excludes the effect of realized gains and losses that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions. The Hartford believes, however, that some realized gains and losses are integrally related to our insurance operations, so core earnings includes net realized gains and losses such as net periodic settlements on credit derivatives. These net realized gains and losses are directly related to an offsetting item included in the income statement such as net investment income.
• Restructuring and other costs - Costs incurred as part of a restructuring plan are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
• Loss on extinguishment of debt - Largely consisting of make-whole payments or tender premiums upon paying debt off before maturity, these losses are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
• Gains and losses on reinsurance transactions - Gains or losses on reinsurance, such as those entered into upon sale of a business or to reinsure loss reserves, are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
• Integration and other non-recurring M&A costs - These costs, including transaction costs incurred in connection with an acquired business, are incurred over a short period of time and do not represent an ongoing operating expense of the business.
• Change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business - These changes in loss reserves are excluded from core earnings because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition.
• Deferred gain resulting from retroactive reinsurance and subsequent changes in the deferred gain - Retroactive reinsurance agreements economically transfer risk to the reinsurers and excluding the deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance and related amortization of the deferred gain from core earnings provides greater insight into the economics of the business.
• Change in valuation allowance on deferred taxes related to non-core components of before tax income - These changes in valuation allowances are excluded from core earnings because they relate to non-core components of before tax income, such as tax attributes like capital loss carryforwards.
• Results of discontinued operations - These results are excluded from core earnings for businesses sold or held for sale because such results could obscure the ability to compare period over period results for our ongoing businesses.

In addition to the above components of net income available to common stockholders that are excluded from core earnings, preferred stock dividends declared, which are excluded from net income, are included in the determination of core earnings. Preferred stock dividends are a cost of financing more akin to interest expense on debt and are expected to be a recurring expense as long as the preferred stock is outstanding.

Net income (loss) and net income (loss) available to common stockholders are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to core earnings. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) available to common stockholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business. Therefore, The Hartford believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders, and core earnings when reviewing the Company’s performance.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) to core earnings (loss) for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026, and 2025, for individual reporting segments can be found in this news release under the heading "The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. Consolidating Income Statements."

Core earnings margin - The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings margin to evaluate, and believes it is an important measure of, the Employee Benefits segment's operating performance. Core earnings margin is calculated by dividing core earnings by revenues, excluding buyouts and realized (gains) losses. Net income margin, calculated by dividing net income by revenues, is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that core earnings margin provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of Employee Benefits because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the effect of buyouts and realized (gains) losses as well as other items excluded in the calculation of core earnings. Core earnings margin should not be considered as a substitute for net income margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Employee Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both core earnings margin and net income margin when reviewing performance. A reconciliation of net income margin to core earnings margin for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026 and 2025, is set forth below.

	Three Months Ended
	Sept 30 2026	Sept 30 2025	Change
Net income margin	7.0%	8.1%	(1.1)
Adjustments to reconcile net income margin to core earnings margin:
Net realized (gains) losses, before tax	(0.8%)	0.4%	(1.2)
Income tax expense (benefit) on items excluded from core earnings	0.2%	(0.2%)	0.4
Core earnings margin	6.4%	8.3%	(1.9)

Core earnings per diluted share - This non-GAAP per share measure is calculated using the non-GAAP financial measure core earnings rather than the U.S. GAAP measure net income. The Company believes that core earnings per diluted share provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company's operating performance for the same reasons applicable to its underlying measure, core earnings. Net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Core earnings per diluted share should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business. Therefore, the Company believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share and core earnings per diluted share when reviewing the Company's performance. A reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders per diluted share to core earnings per diluted share for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026 and 2025 is provided in the table below.

	Three Months Ended

[1] Net income available to common stockholders includes dilutive potential common shares

Core Earnings Return on Equity - The Company provides different measures of the return on stockholders' equity (ROE). Core earnings ROE is calculated based on non-GAAP financial measures. Core earnings ROE is calculated by dividing (a) the non-GAAP measure core earnings for the prior four fiscal quarters by (b) the non-GAAP measure average common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI. Net income ROE is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company excludes AOCI in the calculation of core earnings ROE to provide investors with a measure of how effectively the Company is investing the portion of the Company's net worth that is primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company provides to investors return on equity measures based on its non-GAAP core earnings financial measure for the reasons set forth in the core earnings definition. A quantitative reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders ROE to core earnings ROE is not calculable on a forward-looking basis because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of realized gains and losses, which typically vary substantially from period to period.

A reconciliation of consolidated net income available to common stockholders ROE to consolidated core earnings ROE is set forth below.

	Three Months Ended
	Sept 30 2026	Sept 30 2025

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	(2.7)%	(1.1%)
Core earnings ROE	17.9%	17.3%

Underlying combined ratio- This non-GAAP financial measure of underwriting results represents the combined ratio before catastrophes, prior accident year development and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. Combined ratio is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes this ratio is an important measure of the trend in profitability since it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense reserve development. The changes to loss reserves upon acquisition of a business are excluded from underlying combined ratio because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition as such trends are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the Company's financial performance. A reconciliation of the combined ratio to the underlying combined ratio for individual reporting segments can be found in this news release under the heading "Business Results" for "Business Insurance" and "Personal Insurance". A reconciliation of the combined ratio to underlying combined ratio for lines of business within the Company's P&C reporting segments is set forth below.

Underwriting gain (loss) -This non-GAAP financial measure is a before tax measure that represents earned premiums less incurred losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Hartford's management evaluates profitability of the Business and Personal Insurance segments primarily on the basis of underwriting gain or loss. Underwriting gain (loss) is influenced significantly by earned premium growth and the adequacy of The Hartford's pricing. Underwriting profitability over time is also greatly influenced by The Hartford's underwriting discipline, as management strives to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, effective management of claims, use of reinsurance and its ability to manage its expenses. The Hartford believes that underwriting gain (loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability, before tax, derived from underwriting activities, which are managed separately from the Company's investing activities. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to underwriting gain (loss) for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026 and 2025, is set forth below.

Underlying underwriting gain (loss) - This non-GAAP measure of underwriting profitability represents underwriting gain (loss) before current accident year catastrophes, PYD and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is net income (loss). The Company believes underlying underwriting gain (loss) is important to understand the Company’s periodic earnings because the volatile and unpredictable nature (i.e., the timing and amount) of catastrophes and prior accident year reserve development could obscure underwriting trends. The changes to loss reserves upon acquisition of a business are also excluded from underlying underwriting gain (loss) because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition as such trends are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the Company's financial performance. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to underlying underwriting gain for individual reporting segments for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026 and 2025, is set forth below.

Underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio - This non-GAAP financial measure is the cost of non-catastrophe loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred in the current accident year divided by earned premiums. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that the underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year development ("PYD"). Reconciliations of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio to the underlying loss and loss adjustment expense ratio for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2026 and 2025, is set forth below.
