NEWS RELEASE


The Hartford Reports Third Quarter 2018 Income From Continuing Operations, After Tax, Of $1.17 Per Diluted Share And Core Earnings Of $1.15 Per Diluted Share

Income from continuing operations, after tax, totaled $427 million compared with third quarter 2017 income from continuing operations, after tax, of $145 million ($0.40 per diluted share)

Core earnings* were $418 million, up from $130 million ($0.35 per diluted share*) in third quarter 2017, due to higher income from the Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Group Benefits and Mutual Funds segments, including the favorable impact of a lower U.S. corporate tax rate, and a lower Corporate core loss

Property and casualty (P&C) combined ratio of 97.3 decreased 9.8 points from third quarter 2017 due to lower current accident year catastrophe losses, higher favorable prior year development (PYD) and a better underlying combined ratio*; P&C underlying combined ratio of 93.2 improved 0.7 point from third quarter 2017 due to stronger Personal Lines margins

Group Benefits net income of $77 million and core earnings of $102 million rose 8% and 55%, respectively, from third quarter 2017 due to premium growth and increased net investment income, both in large part due to the fourth quarter 2017 acquisition, and a lower effective tax rate

Book value per diluted share of $34.95 declined 6% from Dec. 31, 2017 due to lower net unrealized capital gains from higher interest rates and the impact of the removal of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) related to the sale of Talcott Resolution; book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI)* was $39.12, up 11% due to net income in excess of common stock dividends

HARTFORD, Conn., October 25, 2018 – The Hartford (NYSE: HIG) reported third quarter 2018 income from continuing operations, after tax, of $427 million compared with $145 million in third quarter 2017. The $282 million increase was due to higher Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Group Benefits and Mutual Funds income, including the benefit of a lower U.S. corporate tax rate, and a

1



lower Corporate core loss. Income from continuing operations, after tax, per diluted share rose to $1.17 from $0.40 in third quarter 2017.

Core earnings of $418 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in third quarter 2018 increased from $130 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in third quarter 2017. In addition to the benefit of a lower U.S. corporate tax rate in 2018, core earnings rose from third quarter 2017 primarily due to better P&C underwriting results driven by lower current accident year catastrophe losses and higher favorable PYD. Other items that contributed to the increase in core earnings included growth in the Group Benefits business, primarily due to the contribution from the fourth quarter 2017 acquisition, and increased Mutual Funds assets under management.

“Third quarter financial results were excellent, with increased earnings in P&C, Group Benefits and Mutual Funds, including higher net investment income,” stated The Hartford’s Chairman and CEO Christopher Swift. “Core earnings increased to $418 million, and book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, is up 11% in 2018. Year-to-date, our net income and core earnings return on equity were 16.4% and 12.7% annualized, reflecting strong operating results, the benefit of the sale of Talcott, and the lower U.S. corporate tax rate.”
The Hartford’s President Doug Elliot said, “Combined property and casualty underwriting results were strong, reflecting lower catastrophes, favorable prior year development and continued progress in Personal Lines. Catastrophe losses from 19 distinct events were above our budget for the quarter, but down significantly from last year which included losses from three hurricanes. Commercial Lines results remain strong, with exceptional results in Small Commercial, where the combined ratio improved to 87.6. Group Benefits earnings were again excellent, driven both by strong margins and the contribution from our 2017 acquisition, and the integration continues to go well. We’re very pleased with our sales and persistency results for the year, as well as with the excellent teamwork and focus of the combined organizations.”
Swift continued, “We're excited about the Navigators acquisition, which we announced in August, and its potential to accelerate our growth strategies in Middle Market and Specialty Commercial. Looking forward, we see continued opportunities to build on the momentum created in 2018. With an expanded talent base, broader product breadth and improved capabilities, we are well-positioned for the future.”

[3] Return on equity (ROE) is calculated based on last 12-months net income and core earnings, respectively; for net income ROE, the denominator is stockholders’ equity including AOCI; for core earnings ROE, the denominator is stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI

Third quarter 2018 consolidated net investment income increased 10% to $444 million, before tax, from $404 million, before tax, in third quarter 2017 primarily as a result of a higher level of invested assets due to the fourth quarter 2017 Group Benefits acquisition. Investment income from LPs of $45 million, before tax (10.6% annualized investment yield) was down slightly from $48 million (12.8% annualized investment yield) in third quarter 2017. Reflecting a generally benign credit environment, impairment losses in the quarter totaled $1 million, level with third quarter 2017.

The annualized investment yield, before tax, excluding LPs, was 3.7% in third quarter 2018, down modestly from 3.8% in third quarter 2017 primarily due to the impact of the acquired investment portfolio in Group Benefits. P&C investment yield, before tax, excluding LPs, was 3.8% in third quarter 2018, up from 3.7% in third quarter 2017 due, in part, to the impact of higher interest rates.    

Book value per diluted share of $34.95 as of Sept. 30, 2018 decreased 6% from $37.11 as of Dec. 31, 2017, principally due to the impact of higher interest rates on unrealized capital gains (losses), as well as the removal of AOCI related to Talcott Resolution upon the closing of the sale of that business in second quarter 2018. Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI) of $39.12 as of Sept. 30, 2018 increased 11% from $35.29 as of Dec. 31, 2017 due to net income in excess of common stock dividends year-to-date.

ROE, which is calculated on a 12-month trailing basis, was a net loss ROE of 14.0% in third quarter 2018 compared with net income ROE of 2.7% in third quarter 2017. The third quarter 2018 ROE calculation includes the fourth quarter 2017 loss on sale of Talcott Resolution and the fourth quarter 2017 charge related to U.S. corporate tax reform, while third quarter 2017 ROE includes the fourth quarter 2016 charge for the asbestos and environmental loss reserve development cover and the second quarter 2017 pension settlement charge.

Core earnings ROE was 10.3% in third quarter 2018, up 4.4 points from 5.9% in third quarter 2017 due to higher core earnings and lower average stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI.

Commercial Lines

Commercial Lines net income of $289 million and core earnings of $265 million increased from $90 million and $81 million, respectively, in third quarter 2017 primarily due to lower current accident year catastrophe losses, higher favorable PYD and the effect of a lower U.S. corporate tax rate

As a result of lower current accident year catastrophes and higher favorable PYD, the underwriting gain of $70 million reversed from an underwriting loss of $149 million in third quarter 2017. The combined ratio of 96.1 improved 12.5 points from 108.6 in third quarter 2017
 
Current accident year catastrophe losses were $95 million, before tax, (5.3 points on the combined ratio) due primarily to Hurricane Florence and multiple wind, hail and wildfire events, down from $270 million, before tax, (15.7 points on the combined ratio) in third quarter 2017, which included losses from hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria
Net favorable PYD was $53 million, before tax, (3.0 points on the combined ratio) compared with $3 million, before tax (0.2 points on the combined ratio) of net favorable PYD in third quarter 2017 and was primarily due to favorable workers' compensation frequency and medical severity for accident years 2015 and prior, as well as reserve decreases for professional liability and 2017 catastrophe losses

The underlying underwriting gain* of $112 million declined 5% from third quarter 2017 and the underlying combined ratio of 93.7 was 0.5 point higher than in third quarter 2017 principally due to increased claim frequency in Middle Market workers' compensation and higher non-catastrophe property losses in Small Commercial, partially offset by better general liability and commercial auto results
 
Small Commercial improved 0.5 point to 88.7 primarily due to lower general liability and auto liability losses, partially offset by higher non-catastrophe property losses
Middle Market increased 3.2 points to 100.2 principally due to higher current accident year workers' compensation frequency trends
Specialty Commercial improved 2.6 points to 96.0 primarily due to lower expenses compared with third quarter 2017 and higher premiums on retrospectively rated accounts, partially offset by margin compression in workers' compensation due to lower pricing, and in professional liability

Commercial Lines written premiums of $1.8 billion were up 3% from third quarter 2017 due to Small Commercial and Middle Market
 
Small Commercial written premiums grew 1% from third quarter 2017 due to 9% growth in new business and stable retention, mostly offset by lower renewal written premium in workers' compensation and auto. New business growth was due to the renewal rights agreement with Farmers Group to acquire its Foremost-branded small commercial business
Middle Market grew 7% over third quarter 2017 due to a 21% increase in new business premium and a 2 point improvement in policy count retention
Specialty Commercial written premiums were flat with third quarter 2017, as increases in bond and financial products were offset by decreases in national accounts and captives

6




Personal Lines

Personal Lines net income of $51 million and core earnings of $47 million increased from $8 million and $7 million, respectively, in third quarter 2017 due to an improved auto underlying underwriting gain, a change to net favorable PYD, lower current accident year catastrophe losses, and the effect of a lower U.S. corporate tax rate

The underwriting gain of $14 million reversed from an underwriting loss of $37 million in third quarter 2017 and the combined ratio of 98.4 improved 5.6 points from 104.0 in third quarter 2017 primarily due to a 5.5 point improvement in the current accident year loss ratio before catastrophes, a 2.3 point favorable change in PYD, and a 0.2 point decrease in current accident year catastrophe losses, partially offset by a 2.3 point increase in the expense ratio
 
Current accident year catastrophe losses were primarily related to wind, hail and wildfire events and totaled $74 million, before tax (8.7 points on the combined ratio), down from $82 million, before tax (8.9 points on the combined ratio), in third quarter 2017
PYD included net favorable PYD on both auto liability and homeowners for a total of $18 million, before tax (2.1 points on the combined ratio), a reversal from net unfavorable PYD of $2 million, before tax (0.2 points on the combined ratio), in third quarter 2017

The underlying underwriting gain rose to $70 million from $47 million in third quarter 2017 and the underlying combined ratio of 91.8 was 3.1 points better than third quarter 2017 due to better current accident year results before catastrophes, principally due to earned pricing increases in both auto and homeowners and lower non-catastrophe weather losses in homeowners. The 5.5 point improvement in the current accident year loss ratio before catastrophes was partially offset by a 2.3 point increase in the expense ratio largely due to higher marketing spending during 2018 in order to generate higher levels of new business, as well as the effect of lower earned premium than in third quarter 2017

The auto combined ratio improved 7.4 points to 98.9 from 106.3 in third quarter 2017 due to a lower current accident year loss ratio before catastrophes, lower current accident year catastrophe losses, and higher net favorable PYD, partially offset by a higher expense ratio. The auto underlying combined ratio of 98.5 was 3.1 points better than in third quarter 2017 due to earned pricing increases in excess of loss costs, partially offset by higher expenses

The homeowners combined ratio improved to 96.9 from 97.9 in third quarter 2017 due to a lower current accident year loss ratio before catastrophes and change to net favorable PYD, partially offset by higher current accident year catastrophe losses. The underlying combined ratio was 76.3, a 2.6 point improvement over third quarter 2017 due to lower non-catastrophe weather losses, partially offset by higher expenses

Personal Lines written premiums of $854 million declined 8% from third quarter 2017 largely due to the effect of pricing actions over the past year on retention in the period. In third quarter 2018, new business premium increased by $11 million, or 23%, over third quarter 2017, reflecting the impact of the company's increased marketing spending on new business
 

7



Auto new business premium of $47 million was up 27% from $37 million in third quarter 2017; Homeowners new business premium of $12 million was up 9% from $11 million in third quarter 2017
Auto policy count retention of 83% increased 3 points from third quarter 2017 and 1 point from second quarter 2018 as renewal written pricing increases moderated
Homeowners policy count retention of 83% was level with third quarter 2017 and declined 1 point from second quarter 2018

Group Benefits

Group Benefits net income of $77 million increased from $71 million in third quarter 2017 as a result of higher premiums and net investment income, largely from the fourth quarter 2017 acquisition, and a lower U.S. corporate tax rate, partially offset by integration costs and amortization of intangible assets. The net income margin declined to 5.1% from 7.7% in third quarter 2017 in large part due to third quarter 2018 integration costs of $9 million, after tax, and amortization of intangible assets of $12 million, after tax, both of which were related to the fourth quarter 2017 acquisition, as well as net realized capital losses in third quarter 2018 compared with net realized capital gains in third quarter 2017
Core earnings, which include the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition, were $102 million, up 55% from $66 million in third quarter 2017 primarily due to the acquisition and a lower U.S. corporate tax rate. The core earnings margin of 6.7% declined from 7.2% in third quarter 2017 largely due to the impact of the amortization of intangible assets in third quarter 2018, which did not occur in third quarter 2017
Fully insured ongoing premiums, excluding buyouts, of $1,353 million increased 68% from $803 million in third quarter 2017 primarily due to the acquisition, but also from strong sales and persistency in 2018. Fully insured ongoing sales, excluding buyouts, of $104 million increased 53% from $68 million in third quarter 2017
The total loss ratio of 75.5% increased 0.8 point from third quarter 2017 as a lower group life loss ratio was more than offset by a higher group disability loss ratio
The 2.9 point increase in the group disability loss ratio was largely due to a decline in recoveries compared with very favorable levels in third quarter 2017
The 1.1 point decrease in the group life loss ratio compared with third quarter 2017 reflects better mortality, partially offset by higher loss ratios of the acquired book due to its greater proportion of national accounts business

The expense ratio of 23.9% decreased 1.9 points from third quarter 2017 due to increased scale and a lower average commission rate due to the acquisition


Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds net income and core earnings of $41 million increased from $26 million in third quarter 2017 primarily due to growth in Mutual Funds segment assets under management (AUM), as well as the lower U.S. corporate tax rate

Mutual Funds segment AUM rose 8% compared with third quarter 2017 to $121 billion due to market appreciation and positive net flows over the last twelve months


8



Mutual fund and ETP net flows totaled $0.2 billion in third quarter 2018, down from $0.8 billion in third quarter 2017. Over the past four quarters, mutual fund and ETP net flows totaled $1.3 billion, contributing to the growth in AUM

Corporate

Corporate net loss was $35 million compared with net income of $21 million in third quarter 2017. Third quarter 2018 results included income from discontinued operations of $5 million, down from $89 million in third quarter 2017, due to the May 2018 sale of Talcott Resolution and the effect of tax true-ups on third quarter 2018 results

Core losses, which do not include income from discontinued operations, were $45 million compared with core losses of $68 million in third quarter 2017 primarily due to higher net investment income and lower interest expense, partially offset by a lower tax benefit due to the lower U.S. corporate tax rate
 
Net investment income of $15 million, before tax, increased significantly from $5 million, before tax in third quarter 2017 as a result of higher average invested assets at the holding company due to the reinvestment of the proceeds from the May 2018 sale of Talcott Resolution, as well as higher short-term interest rates
Corporate core losses included $9 million, before tax, of expenses formerly allocated to Talcott Resolution compared with $15 million, before tax, of such expenses in third quarter 2017. The company continues to expect that these costs will be eliminated over the next 15 months.

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Hartford uses non-GAAP financial measures in this press 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 press release can be found below and in The Hartford's Investor Financial Supplement for third quarter 2018, which is available on The Hartford's website, https://ir.thehartford.com.

Annualized investment yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments is the annualized net investment income on a Consolidated, P&C or Group Benefits level excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments divided by such monthly average invested assets at amortized cost, excluding repurchase agreement and securities lending collateral, derivatives book value, and limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The company believes that annualized net investment income, excluding limited partnerships, 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.

Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI): Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI) is calculated based upon non-GAAP financial measures. It is calculated by dividing (a) total stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, after tax, by (b) common shares outstanding or 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 it 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 measures. A reconciliation of book value per diluted share, including AOCI to book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI) is set forth below.

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 the measure core earnings provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the company’s ongoing businesses because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services businesses that may be obscured by including the net effect of certain realized capital gains and losses, certain restructuring and other costs, integration and transaction costs in connection with an acquired business, pension settlements, loss on extinguishment of debt, gains and losses on reinsurance transactions, income tax benefit from reduction in deferred income tax valuation allowance, impact of tax reform on net deferred tax assets, and results of discontinued operations. Some realized capital 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 all realized gains and losses (net of tax and the effects of DAC) that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions.
The Hartford believes, however, that some realized capital 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. Results from discontinued operations are excluded from core earnings for businesses held for sale because such results could obscure trends in our ongoing businesses that are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the company's financial performance.
Net income (loss) and income from continuing operations (during periods when the company reports significant discontinued operations) are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to core earnings. Income from continuing operations is net income, excluding the income (loss) from discontinued operations. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations 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), income (loss) from continuing operations and core earnings when reviewing the company’s performance.
A reconciliation of net income (loss) to income from continuing operations to core earnings for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2018 and 2017, is included in this press release. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to core earnings for individual reporting segments can be found in this press release under the heading "The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. Consolidating Income Statements" and in The Hartford's Investor Financial Supplement for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2018.

Core earnings margin: The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings margin to evaluate, and believes it is an important measure of, the Group 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 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 Group Benefits because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the effect of buyouts and realized gains (losses). Core earnings margin should not be considered as a substitute for net income margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Group 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, 2018 and 2017, is set forth below.

Core earnings per diluted share: Core earnings per diluted share is calculated based on the non-GAAP financial measure core earnings. It is calculated by dividing (a) core earnings, by (b) diluted common shares outstanding. The Hartford believes that the measure 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) per diluted common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Core earnings per diluted share should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) per diluted share and does not reflect the overall profitability of the company's business.

Therefore, The Hartford believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate both net income (loss) per diluted share and core earnings per diluted share when reviewing the company's performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) per diluted common share to core earnings per diluted share for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2018 and 2017 is provided in the table below.

Net investment income, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments: is the amount of net investment income, on a Consolidated, P&C or Group Benefits level earned from such invested assets excluding the net investment income related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments.

Core Earnings Return on Equity: The company provides different measures of the return on stockholders' equity (“ROE”). Net income ROE is calculated by dividing (a) net income for the prior four fiscal quarters by (b) average common stockholders' equity, including AOCI. Core earnings ROE is calculated based on non-GAAP financial measures. Core earnings ROE is calculated by dividing (a) core earnings for the prior four fiscal quarters by (b) 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 measures for the reasons set forth in the related discussion above.

Underlying combined ratio: Represents the combined ratio before catastrophes and prior accident year development (PYD) and is a non-GAAP financial measure. Combined ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio (also known as a loss ratio), the expense ratio and the policyholder dividend ratio. This ratio measures the cost of losses and expenses for every $100 of earned premiums. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates a positive underwriting result. A combined ratio above 100 indicates a negative underwriting result. The underlying combined ratio represents the combined ratio for the current accident year, excluding the impact of current accident year catastrophes. 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. A reconciliation of the combined ratio to the underlying combined ratio for individual reporting segments can be found in this press release under the heading "Third Quarter 2018 Segment Financial Results Summary."
Underwriting gain (loss): The Hartford's management evaluates profitability of the Commercial and Personal Lines segments primarily on the basis of underwriting gain or loss. Underwriting gain (loss) 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 GAAP measure. 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 the measure 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. A reconciliation of underwriting results to net income for the quarterly periods ended Sept. 30, 2018 and 2017, is set forth in the Investor Financial Supplement for quarter ended Sept. 30, 2018, which is available on The Hartford's website, https://ir.thehartford.com.

Strategic and Operational Risks: the company’s ability to maintain the availability of its systems and safeguard the security of its data in the event of a disaster, cyber or other information security incident or other unanticipated event; failure to complete our proposed acquisition of The Navigators Group, Inc. may cause volatility in our securities; the risks, challenges and uncertainties associated with capital management plans, expense reduction initiatives and other actions, which may include acquisitions, divestitures or restructurings; the potential for difficulties arising from outsourcing and similar third-party relationships; the company’s ability to protect its intellectual property and defend against claims of infringement;
Regulatory and Legal Risks: the cost and other potential effects of increased regulatory and legislative developments, including those that could adversely impact the demand for the company’s products, operating costs and required capital levels; unfavorable judicial or other legal developments; the impact of changes in federal or state tax laws; regulatory requirements that could delay, deter or prevent a takeover attempt that shareholders might consider in their best interests; and the impact of potential changes in accounting principles and related financial reporting requirements.

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
APPENDIX
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DEFINITIONS
All amounts are in millions, except for per share and ratio information unless otherwise stated. Amounts presented throughout this document have been rounded for presentation purposes.
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company", "we", or "our") currently conducts business principally in five reporting segments: Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Property & Casualty Other Operations ("P&C Other Operations"), Group Benefits, and Mutual Funds, as well as a Corporate category.
Property & Casualty ("P&C") businesses consist of three reporting segments: Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and P&C Other Operations. Commercial Lines provides businesses with workers' compensation, property, automobile, liability, umbrella, marine and livestock coverages under several different products, primarily throughout the United States (“U.S.”), within its standard commercial lines, which consists of the Company's small commercial and middle market lines of business. Additionally, within Commercial Lines, a variety of customized insurance products and risk management services including workers' compensation, automobile, general liability, professional liability, bond, and specialty casualty coverages are offered through the segment's specialty commercial lines. Personal Lines provides automobile, homeowners and personal umbrella coverages to individuals across the U.S., including a special program designed exclusively for members of AARP. P&C Other Operations includes certain property and casualty operations, managed by the Company, that have discontinued writing new business and substantially all of the Company's asbestos and environmental exposures.
Group Benefits provides group life, accident and disability coverage, group retiree health and voluntary benefits to individual members of employer groups and associations. Group Benefits offers disability underwriting, administration, claims processing and reinsurance to other insurers and self-funded employer plans. On November 1, 2017, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (HLA), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of Aetna's U.S. group life and disability insurance business through a reinsurance transaction. Aetna's group life and disability revenue and earnings since the acquisition date are included in the operating results of the Company's Group Benefits reporting segment.
Mutual Funds provides investment management, administration, distribution and related services to investors through investment products in both domestic and international markets. Mutual fund and exchange-traded products are sold primarily through retail, bank trust and registered investment advisor channels.
The Company includes in the Corporate category investment management fees and expenses related to managing third party business, including management of the invested assets of the Talcott Resolution life and annuity run-off business sold in the second quarter of 2018, discontinued operations related to the sale of Talcott Resolution, reserves for run-off structured settlement and terminal funding agreement liabilities, capital raising activities (including debt financing and related interest expense), purchase accounting adjustments related to goodwill and other expenses not allocated to the reporting segments. In addition, Corporate includes investment earnings from a 9.7% ownership interest in the limited partnership that acquired Talcott Resolution.
Certain operating and statistical measures have been incorporated herein to provide supplemental data that indicate current trends in the Company's business. These measures include sales, redemptions, net flows, account value, policies in-force, premium retention, renewal earned and written price increases and policy count retention. Premium retention is defined as renewal premium written in the current period divided by total premium written in the prior period. Renewal earned price increases represent the portions of the prior and current period renewal written price increases that have been earned based on the period of time the underlying renewal policies have been in effect. Renewal written price increases for Commercial Lines represent the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and individual risk pricing decisions per unit of exposure since the prior year on policies that renewed and includes the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and other changes in exposure. For Personal Lines, renewal written price increases represent the total change in premium per policy since the prior year on those policies that renewed and includes the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and other changes in exposure. For Personal Lines, other changes in exposure include, but are not limited to, the effect of changes in number of drivers, vehicles and incidents, as well as changes in customer policy elections, such as deductibles and limits.
Policy count retention represents the ratio of the number of policies renewed during the period divided by the number of policies from the previous policy term period.
The Company, along with others in the property and casualty insurance industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses to earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses (amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and insurance operating costs and expenses, including certain centralized services and bad debt expense) less fee income to earned premiums. The policyholder dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholder dividends to earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, the expense ratio and the policyholder dividend ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe the related cost of losses, expenses and policyholder dividends for every $100 of earned premiums. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100 demonstrates underwriting losses. The catastrophe ratio (a component of the loss ratio) represents the ratio of catastrophe losses to earned premiums. The prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio (a component of the loss ratio) represents the increase (decrease) in the estimated cost of settling catastrophe and non-catastrophe claims incurred in prior accident years as recorded in the current calendar year divided by earned premiums.
The Company, along with others in the insurance industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of the Group Benefits segment's performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of insurance operating costs and other expenses to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums. Buyout premiums represent takeover of open claim liabilities and other non-recurring premium amounts.
A catastrophe is a severe loss, resulting from natural or manmade events, including risks such as fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorist attack and similar events. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics and the events are unpredictable as to timing or loss amount. Catastrophe losses are not included in earnings or losses and loss adjustment expense reserves prior to occurrence of the catastrophe event. The Company believes that a discussion of the effect of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability of periodic earnings.

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company uses non-GAAP and other financial measures in this Investor Financial Supplement to assist investors in analyzing the Company's operating performance. Because the Company's calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing the Company's non-GAAP and other financial measures to those of other companies. Non-GAAP measures are indicated with an asterisk the first time they appear in this document.
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure core earnings as an important measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company believes that core earnings provides investors with a valuable measure of the underlying performance of the Company’s businesses because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services businesses that may be obscured by including the net effect of certain realized capital gains and losses, certain restructuring and other costs, integration and transaction costs in connection with an acquired business, pension settlements, loss on extinguishment of debt, gains and losses on reinsurance transactions, income tax benefit from reduction in deferred income tax valuation allowance, impact of tax reform on net deferred tax assets, and results of discontinued operations. Some realized capital 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 all realized gains and losses (net of tax) that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions. The Company believes, however, that some realized capital 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. Results from discontinued operations are excluded from core earnings for businesses held for sale because such results could obscure trends in our ongoing businesses that are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the Company's financial performance. Net income (loss) and income from continuing operations (during periods when the Company reports significant discontinued operations) are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to core earnings. Income from continuing operations is net income, excluding the income (loss) from discontinued operations. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations 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), income (loss) from continuing operations and core earnings when reviewing the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of net income to core earnings is set forth on page 2.
Core earnings per share is calculated based on the non-GAAP financial measure core earnings. The Company believes that the measure core earnings per share provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company's operating performance for many of the same reasons applicable to its underlying measure, core earnings. Net income (loss) per share and income (loss) from continuing operations per share are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Core earnings per share should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) per share or income (loss) from continuing operations per 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) per share, income (loss) from continuing operations per share and core earnings per share when reviewing our performance.
Book value per diluted share is a U.S. GAAP financial measure that represents a per share assessment of the value of a company's equity. It is calculated by dividing (a) common stockholders' equity by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Company provides book value per diluted share to enable investors to assess the value of the Company’s equity. Reconciliations of book value per common share and book value per diluted share to book value per common share, excluding AOCI and book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, are set forth on page 1.
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) core earnings for the prior four fiscal quarters by (b) average common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI. Net income ROE is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Net income ROE is calculated by dividing (a) net income for the prior four fiscal quarters by (b) average common stockholders' equity, including AOCI. ROEs at the segment level and for consolidated, represent a levered view of ROE as debt financing and related interest expense are attributed to the businesses consistent with the overall average debt to capitalization ratios of the consolidated entity. 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 investors with return-on-equity measures based on its non-GAAP core earnings financial measures for the reasons set forth in the related discussion above.
A reconciliation of Net income ROE to Core earnings ROE is set forth below:

The Company evaluates profitability of the individual P&C businesses primarily on the basis of underwriting gain (loss). Underwriting gain (loss) is a before tax measure that represents earned premiums less incurred losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses and policyholder dividends. Underwriting gain (loss) is influenced significantly by earned premium growth and the adequacy of the Company's pricing. Underwriting profitability over time is also greatly influenced by the Company's pricing and underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, its management of claims, its use of reinsurance and its ability to manage its expense ratio, which it accomplishes through its management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that underwriting gain (loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of before tax profitability derived from underwriting activities, which are managed separately from the Company's investing activities. Reconciliations of underwriting gain (loss) to net income (loss) for the Company's P&C businesses are set forth on pages 8, 10, 14 and 19.

33



Underlying underwriting gain (loss) represents underwriting gain (loss) before current accident year ("CAY") catastrophes and prior accident year development ("PYD"). The most directly comparable 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. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to underlying underwriting gain (loss) for individual reporting segments is set forth below.

Underlying combined ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. Combined ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Underlying combined ratio represents the combined ratio before catastrophes and prior accident year development. 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. A reconciliation of the combined ratio to the underlying combined ratio for Property & Casualty, Commercial Lines, and Personal Lines is set forth on pages 9, 12 and 16, respectively.
Core earnings margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate, and believes is an important measure of, the Group 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 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 Group Benefits because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the effect of buyouts and realized gains (losses). Core earnings margin should not be considered as a substitute for net income margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Group Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both core earnings margin and net income margin when reviewing performance.
Return on Assets ("ROA"), core earnings, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate, and believes is an important measure of the Mutual Funds segment’s operating performance. ROA is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that ROA, core earnings, provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Mutual Funds segment because it reveals trends in our businesses that may be obscured by the effect of realized gains (losses). ROA, core earnings, should not be considered as a substitute for ROA and does not reflect the overall profitability of our Mutual Funds business. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both ROA, core earnings, and ROA when reviewing the Mutual Funds segment performance. ROA, core earnings is calculated by dividing core earnings by a daily average AUM.

34



Net investment income, excluding limited partnerships 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, 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, excluding limited partnerships is the annualized net investment income excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments divided by the monthly average invested assets at amortized cost, excluding repurchase agreement and securities lending collateral, derivatives book value, and limited partnership and other alternative invested assets. The company believes that annualized net investment income, excluding limited partnerships, 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.
