Overall, we saw steady growth in sales and premiums in line with our expectations," said Richard P. McKenney, president and chief executive officer. "Thanks to our strong capital position, we recently announced a new $250 million share repurchase authorization, which is coupled with investing in our business and returning capital to shareholders through dividends."
