All references to catastrophe losses are pre-tax and net of reinsurance and estimated reinstatement premiums. Point impacts on the combined ratio are calculated as the difference between the reported combined ratio and the combined ratio excluding incurred catastrophe losses and associated reinstatement premiums.
Operating income is defined as net income at an assumed 20% effective tax rate excluding net realized investment gains/losses and foreign currency exchange gains/losses.
Prior year development for 2012 excludes $5.5 million of favorable development in the E&S segment related to unallocated loss adjustment expenses (ULAE).
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS BY SEGMENT
Excess and Surplus Lines Segment
The Excess and Surplus Lines segment reported gross written premiums of $151.4 million in the fourth quarter, up $20.8 million or 15.9% from the fourth quarter of 2012. Strong growth was driven by higher premium in Casualty, Allied Medical, and Environmental lines. Net written premiums were up 18.6% to $127.3 million, and earned premiums were up 21.2% to $125.8 million. Underwriting income was $21.0 million for the quarter, compared to $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The fourth quarter 2013 combined ratio of 83.2% compares to 92.6% in the prior-year quarter. Included in the fourth quarter 2013 were a series of unrelated fire losses. Net favorable prior-year reserve development was $17.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and represented 13.7 points on the combined ratio compared to $9.0 million or 8.7 points in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The 2013 combined ratio, excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, was 96.8% compared to 98.8% in 2012.
Commercial Specialty
Commercial Specialty reported gross written premiums of $88.8 million in the fourth quarter, down $3.0 million or 3.3% from the fourth quarter of 2012. The decline in premium is a continuation of our re-underwriting strategy to eliminate underperforming accounts at Trident and Argo Insurance which offset modest growth in Argo Surety and other smaller programs. Net written premiums were up 3.9% to $60.6 million, and earned premiums were down 2.4% to $73.9 million. As a result of the actions we have taken, our underwriting income improved to $2.1 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The fourth quarter 2013 combined ratio of 97.1% includes 3.4 points attributable to a one large fire related loss at Argo Insurance and compares with 122.9% in the prior-year quarter. Losses from catastrophes and U.S. storms were $0.3 million or 0.4 points on the combined ratio compared to $8.8 million or 11.6 points in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net unfavorable prior-year reserve development was $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and represented 0.9 points on the combined ratio, compared to unfavorable prior-year reserve development of $3.6 million or 4.8 points in the fourth quarter of 2012.
For the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, gross written premiums were down 4.1% to $419.1 million, net written premiums were down 5.9% to $288.2 million, and earned premiums declined by 5.8% to $299.0 million.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, net unfavorable prior-year reserve development was $1.1 million compared to net unfavorable prior-year reserve development of $22.2 million in 2012. The 2013 combined ratio, excluding catastrophe losses and reserve development, was 96.1% compared to 102.8% in 2012.
International Specialty
International Specialty reported gross written premiums of $47.5 million in the fourth quarter, down $10.6 million or 18.2% from the fourth quarter of 2012. The decline was driven mainly by a reduction in our reinsurance business. Net written premiums were down 25.3% to $20.1 million, and earned premiums were down 8.9% to $35.8 million. Underwriting income was $2.1 million for the quarter, compared to an underwriting loss of $11.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, reflecting a combined ratio of 94.0% compared with 131.3% in the prior-year quarter. Net unfavorable prior-year reserve development was $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and represented 1.5 points on the combined ratio compared to favorable prior-year reserve development of $2.7 million or 8.5 points in the fourth quarter of 2012. Catastrophe losses for the quarter were negligible compared to catastrophe losses of $18.3 million or 58.5 points in the fourth quarter of 2012.
