CINF 2Q17 Release 1
Insurance Operations Second-Quarter Highlights
• | 98.3 percent second-quarter 2017 property casualty combined ratio, improved from 99.3 percent for the second quarter of 2016. |
• | 6 percent growth in second-quarter net written premiums, reflecting price increases and premium growth initiatives. |
• | $165 million second-quarter 2017 property casualty new business written premiums, up 15 percent. Agencies appointed since the beginning of 2016 contributed $19 million or 12 percent of total new business written premiums. |
• | 2 percent growth in second-quarter 2017 life insurance earned premiums, with $12 million of life insurance subsidiary net income that matched the second quarter of 2016. |
Investment and Balance Sheet Highlights
• | 1 percent or $2 million increase in second-quarter 2017 pretax investment income, including 2 percent growth for stock portfolio dividends and 1 percent growth for bond interest income. |
• | Three-month increase of 2 percent in fair value of total investments at June 30, 2017, including a 2 percent increase for the stock portfolio and a 2 percent increase for the bond portfolio. |
• | $2.257 billion parent company cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2017, up 6 percent from year-end 2016. |
Rising Underwriting Profits
Steven J. Johnston, president and chief executive officer, commented: “Operating income rose 13 percent compared with last year’s second quarter result. Higher insurance underwriting profits drove most of the improvement, supported by steadily rising income from our investment portfolio. Cash and invested assets reached $17 billion, reflecting higher valuations and new securities purchased with the cash flow from our growing insurance operations.
“The improvement in insurance underwriting profit of $13 million over last year’s second quarter, and $17 million over the first quarter of 2017, reflects our determination to stay disciplined in our efforts to segment accounts and to charge an appropriate price for each risk. Even as competition in the market heats up, we’ve maintained commercial lines and excess and surplus lines price increases on average at a low-single-digit percentage rate, and personal lines average increases in the mid-single-digit percentage rates.
“Weather-related catastrophe losses contributed approximately 10 points to both our second quarter combined ratio of 98.3 percent and first half combined ratio of 99.0 percent. While these combined ratio results are within our long-term target of 95 percent to 100 percent, we believe continuing to stick to our model and focusing on the basics of our business will sustain the momentum we’ve gained in the second quarter and improve results during the second half of the year.”
Growth Through All Market Cycles
“We believe combining our hallmark of personal service with data-driven analytics will allow us to grow profitably through all market cycles. Through the first half of 2017, net written premiums grew 7 percent, bolstered by the strategic expansion of our independent agency force, overall insured exposure growth and investments in reinsurance assumed, high net worth personal lines insurance and excess and surplus lines insurance.
“Cincinnati Re, our reinsurance assumed operation, contributed 2 percentage points to the premium growth we've experienced through June.
“For the first half of 2017, new business written premiums for our agencies’ high net worth clients grew nearly 90 percent, and excess and surplus lines new business written premiums grew 28 percent.”
Creating Value for Shareholders
“Our value creation ratio, which considers changes to our book value and the dividends we pay to shareholders, is our main measure for evaluating the value we are creating as a company over time. The board increased our dividend rate in January, and so far this year our book value has grown 5 percent to another record high of $44.97. Our results generated a six-month value creation ratio of 7 percent - within striking distance of our 10 percent or better average annual target for this measure.”

Safe Harbor Statement
This is our “Safe Harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our business is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements in this report. Some of those risks and uncertainties are discussed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 1A, Risk Factors, Page 29.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
• | Unusually high levels of catastrophe losses due to risk concentrations, changes in weather patterns, environmental events, terrorism incidents or other causes |
• | Increased frequency and/or severity of claims or development of claims that are unforeseen at the time of policy issuance |
• | Inadequate estimates, assumptions or reliance on third-party data used for critical accounting estimates |
• | Declines in overall stock market values negatively affecting the company’s equity portfolio and book value |
• | Prolonged low interest rate environment or other factors that limit the company’s ability to generate growth in investment income or interest rate fluctuations that result in declining values of fixed-maturity investments, including declines in accounts in which we hold bank-owned life insurance contract assets |
• | Domestic and global events resulting in capital market or credit market uncertainty, followed by prolonged periods of economic instability or recession, that lead to: |
◦ | Significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a particular security or group of securities and impairment of the asset(s) |
◦ | Significant decline in investment income due to reduced or eliminated dividend payouts from a particular security or group of securities |
◦ | Significant rise in losses from surety and director and officer policies written for financial institutions or other insured entities |
• | Recession or other economic conditions resulting in lower demand for insurance products or increased payment delinquencies |
• | Difficulties with technology or data security breaches, including cyberattacks, that could negatively affect our ability to conduct business and our relationships with agents, policyholders and others |
• | Disruption of the insurance market caused by technology innovations such as driverless cars that could decrease consumer demand for insurance products |
• | Delays, inadequate data developed internally or from third parties, or performance inadequacies from ongoing development and implementation of underwriting and pricing methods, including telematics and other usage-based insurance methods, or technology projects and enhancements expected to increase our pricing accuracy, underwriting profit and competitiveness |
• | Increased competition that could result in a significant reduction in the company’s premium volume |
• | Changing consumer insurance-buying habits and consolidation of independent insurance agencies that could alter our competitive advantages |
• | Inability to obtain adequate ceded reinsurance on acceptable terms, amount of reinsurance coverage purchased, financial strength of reinsurers and the potential for nonpayment or delay in payment by reinsurers |
• | Inability to defer policy acquisition costs for any business segment if pricing and loss trends would lead management to conclude that segment could not achieve sustainable profitability |
• | Inability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends consistent with current or past levels |
• | Events or conditions that could weaken or harm the company’s relationships with its independent agencies and hamper opportunities to add new agencies, resulting in limitations on the company’s opportunities for growth, such as: |
◦ | Downgrades of the company’s financial strength ratings |
◦ | Concerns that doing business with the company is too difficult |
◦ | Perceptions that the company’s level of service, particularly claims service, is no longer a distinguishing characteristic in the marketplace |
◦ | Inability or unwillingness to nimbly develop and introduce coverage product updates and innovations that our competitors offer and consumers expect to find in the marketplace |
• | Actions of insurance departments, state attorneys general or other regulatory agencies, including a change to a federal system of regulation from a state-based system, that: |
CINF 2Q17 Release 11
◦ | Impose new obligations on us that increase our expenses or change the assumptions underlying our critical accounting estimates |
◦ | Place the insurance industry under greater regulatory scrutiny or result in new statutes, rules and regulations |
◦ | Restrict our ability to exit or reduce writings of unprofitable coverages or lines of business |
◦ | Add assessments for guaranty funds, other insurance‑related assessments or mandatory reinsurance arrangements; or that impair our ability to recover such assessments through future surcharges or other rate changes |
◦ | Increase our provision for federal income taxes due to changes in tax law |
◦ | Increase our other expenses |
◦ | Limit our ability to set fair, adequate and reasonable rates |
◦ | Place us at a disadvantage in the marketplace |
◦ | Restrict our ability to execute our business model, including the way we compensate agents |
• | Adverse outcomes from litigation or administrative proceedings |
• | Events or actions, including unauthorized intentional circumvention of controls, that reduce the company’s future ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 |
• | Unforeseen departure of certain executive officers or other key employees due to retirement, health or other causes that could interrupt progress toward important strategic goals or diminish the effectiveness of certain longstanding relationships with insurance agents and others |
• | Events, such as an epidemic, natural catastrophe or terrorism, that could hamper our ability to assemble our workforce at our headquarters location |
Further, the company’s insurance businesses are subject to the effects of changing social, global, economic and regulatory environments. Public and regulatory initiatives have included efforts to adversely influence and restrict premium rates, restrict the ability to cancel policies, impose underwriting standards and expand overall regulation. The company also is subject to public and regulatory initiatives that can affect the market value for its common stock, such as measures affecting corporate financial reporting and governance. The ultimate changes and eventual effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliation to Comparable GAAP Measures
(See attached tables for reconciliations; additional prior-period reconciliations available at cinfin.com/investors.)
Cincinnati Financial Corporation prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Statutory data is prepared in accordance with statutory accounting rules as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, and therefore is not reconciled to GAAP data.
Management uses certain non-GAAP and non-statutory financial measures to evaluate its primary business areas – property casualty insurance, life insurance and investments. Management uses these measures when analyzing both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to improve its understanding of trends in the underlying business and to help avoid incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions about the success or failure of company strategies. Management adjustments to GAAP measures generally: apply to non-recurring events that are unrelated to business performance and distort short-term results; involve values that fluctuate based on events outside of management’s control; supplement reporting segment disclosures with disclosures for a subsidiary company or for a combination of subsidiaries or reporting segments; or relate to accounting refinements that affect comparability between periods, creating a need to analyze data on the same basis.
• | Operating income: Operating income is calculated by excluding net realized investment gains and losses (defined as realized investment gains and losses after applicable federal and state income taxes) from net income. Management evaluates operating income to measure the success of pricing, rate and underwriting strategies. While realized investment gains (or losses) are integral to the company’s insurance operations over the long term, the determination to realize investment gains or losses in any period may be subject to management’s discretion and is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Also, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, gains and losses can be recognized from certain changes in market values of securities without actual realization. Management believes that the level of realized investment gains or losses for any particular period, while it may be material, may not fully indicate the performance of ongoing underlying business operations in that period. |
For these reasons, many investors and shareholders consider operating income to be one of the more meaningful measures for evaluating insurance company performance. Equity analysts who report on the insurance industry and the company generally focus on this metric in their analyses. The company presents operating income so that all investors have what management believes to be a useful supplement to GAAP information.
• | Value creation ratio: This is a measure of shareholder value creation that management believes captures the contribution of the company’s insurance operations, the success of its investment strategy and the importance placed on paying cash dividends to shareholders. The value creation ratio measure is made up of two primary components: (1) rate of growth in book value per share plus (2) the ratio of dividends declared per share to beginning book value per share. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is a useful supplement to GAAP information, providing a meaningful measure of long-term progress in creating shareholder value. It is intended to be all-inclusive regarding changes in book value per share, and uses originally reported book value per share in cases where book value per share has been adjusted, such as adoption of Accounting Standards Updates with a cumulative effect of a change in accounting. |
• | Consolidated property casualty insurance results: To supplement reporting segment disclosures related to our property casualty insurance operations, we also evaluate results for those operations on a basis that includes results for our property casualty insurance and brokerage services subsidiaries. That is the total of our commercial lines, personal lines and our excess and surplus lines segment plus our reinsurance assumed operations. |
• | Life insurance subsidiary results: To supplement life insurance reporting segment disclosures related to our life insurance operation, we also evaluate results for that operation on a basis that includes life insurance subsidiary investment income, or investment income plus net realized investment gains, that are also included in our investments reporting segment. We recognize that assets under management, capital appreciation and investment income are integral to evaluating the success of the life insurance segment because of the long duration of life products. |
• | Statutory accounting rules: For public reporting, insurance companies prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP. However, insurers also must calculate certain data according to statutory accounting rules as defined in the NAIC’s Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, which may be, and has been, modified by various state insurance departments. Statutory data is publicly available, and various organizations use it to calculate aggregate industry data, study industry trends and compare insurance companies. |
• | Written premium: Under statutory accounting rules, property casualty written premium is the amount recorded for policies issued and recognized on an annualized basis at the effective date of the policy. Management analyzes trends in written premium to assess business efforts. Earned premium, used in both statutory and GAAP accounting, is calculated ratably over the policy term. The difference between written and earned premium is unearned premium. |
