BOSTON, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Mutual Holding Company Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively "LMHC" or the "Company") reported net income attributable to LMHC of $2.223 billion and $5.093 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, versus income of $892 million and $3.144 billion for the same periods in 2024.

"We delivered exceptional third quarter results, with net income attributable to LMHC of $2.2 billion and a consolidated combined ratio of 84.7%, reflecting strong underwriting and investment performance," said Tim Sweeney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our combined ratio improved 12.0 points year-over-year, underpinned by favorable frequency trends in U.S. personal lines and lower catastrophe losses across both insurance businesses. Investment results remained strong, benefiting from higher reinvestment rates and robust performance in private assets, particularly private equity. As our underwriting actions take hold, we will remain disciplined in pursuing profitable growth."

The tables below outline highlights of LMHC's consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The combined ratio, expressed as a percentage, is a measure of underwriting profitability.  This measure should only be used in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, underwriting income and may not be comparable to other performance measures used by the Company's competitors.  The combined ratio is computed as the sum of the following property and casualty ratios: the ratio of claims and claim adjustment expense less managed care income to earned premium; the ratio of insurance operating costs plus amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs less third-party administration income and fee income (primarily related to the Company's involuntary market servicing carrier operations) and installment charges to earned premium; and the ratio of policyholder dividends to earned premium. Provisions for uncollectible premium and reinsurance are not included in the combined ratio unless related to an asbestos and environmental commutation and certain other run off.  Restructuring and acquisition and integration costs are not included in the combined ratio.
