The Travelers Companies, Inc. today reported net income of $304 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $618 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Operating income in the current quarter was $278 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to $609 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in net and operating income in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter resulted from the after-tax impact of higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by higher underlying underwriting margins and higher net favorable prior year reserve development. Catastrophe losses in the current quarter were $689 million after-tax ($1.054 billion pre-tax), including losses resulting from Storm Sandy of $669 million after-tax ($1.024 billion pre-tax), compared to $68 million after-tax ($102 million pre-tax) in the prior year quarter.
