(1) Operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the
Company as net income excluding after-tax net investment gains.
(2) Return on equity represents net income expressed on an annualized
basis as a percentage of beginning of year stockholders’ equity.
Third quarter highlights included:
-
Return on equity was 19.9% pre-tax and 13.3% after-tax.
-
Insurance-Domestic net premiums written grew 6%.
-
GAAP combined ratio was 93.7%.
-
Realized $54 million net pre-tax gains principally from alternative
investment portfolio.
-
Started five new businesses.
Commenting on the Company's performance, William R. Berkley, chairman
and chief executive officer, said: "We were pleased with our third
quarter results. Our loss and expense ratios were in line with our
expectations. Most of our operating units delivered excellent returns as
margins remain adequate relative to our return objectives. Positive net
reserve development continued with loss costs increasing at modest
rates. Although we are not immune to global catastrophe losses, our
approach to writing business where we can achieve superior long-term
risk-adjusted returns again resulted in low volatility in what was a
challenging quarter for many companies that operate on a global basis.
"While investment income from fixed maturity securities continued to
gradually decline, the overall portfolio provided satisfactory returns
as a result of income from various other classes of investments.
Repositioning our portfolio to generate somewhat regular capital gains
has benefited our total investment return.
"Opportunities continue to be available in the market, and we were able
to start several new ventures. Our view at this time is that the
cyclical decline in direct insurance pricing will likely be gradual.
With our return on equity close to 20% on a pre-tax basis and more than
13% on an after-tax basis, along with modest growth, our Company remains
well-positioned.
"We continue to have a favorable view of price levels in most lines of
business and look forward to a continuation of positive investment
results. As such, we expect the balance of the year will be in line with
our expectations and are optimistic about our returns," Mr. Berkley
concluded.

Forward Looking Information
This is a “Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statements contained
herein, including statements related to our outlook for the industry and
for our performance for the year 2015 and beyond, are based upon the
Company’s historical performance and on current plans, estimates and
expectations. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should
not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the
future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be
achieved. They are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including
but not limited to: the cyclical nature of the property casualty
industry; the impact of significant competition, including new
alternative entrants to the industry; the long-tail and potentially
volatile nature of the insurance and reinsurance business; product
demand and pricing; claims development and the process of estimating
reserves; investment risks, including those of our portfolio of fixed
maturity securities and investments in equity securities, including
investments in financial institutions, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed
securities, loans receivable, investment funds, including real estate,
merger arbitrage, energy related and private equity investments; the
effects of emerging claim and coverage issues; the uncertain nature of
damage theories and loss amounts; natural and man-made catastrophic
losses, including as a result of terrorist activities; general economic
and market activities, including inflation, interest rates, and
volatility in the credit and capital markets; the impact of the
conditions in the financial markets and the global economy, and the
potential effect of legislative, regulatory, accounting or other
initiatives taken in response to it, on our results and financial
condition; foreign currency and political risks relating to our
international operations; our ability to attract and retain key
personnel and qualified employees; continued availability of capital and
financing; the success of our new ventures or acquisitions and the
availability of other opportunities; the availability of reinsurance;
our retention under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended
("TRIA"); the ability of our reinsurers to pay reinsurance recoverables
owed to us; other legislative and regulatory developments, including
those related to business practices in the insurance industry; credit
risk related to our policyholders, independent agents and brokers;
changes in the ratings assigned to us or our insurance company
subsidiaries by rating agencies; the availability of dividends from our
insurance company subsidiaries; potential difficulties with technology
and/or data security; the effectiveness of our controls to ensure
compliance with guidelines, policies and legal and regulatory standards;
and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties
could cause our actual results for the year 2015 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement we
make. Any projections of growth in our revenues would not necessarily
result in commensurate levels of earnings. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company
undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise.
