NEWS RELEASE 
The Hartford Reports First Quarter 2015 Core Earnings* Of $452 Million, $1.04 Per Diluted Share, And Net Income Of $467 Million, $1.08 Per Diluted Share
| |
• | First quarter 2015 core earnings per diluted share* of $1.04 declined 1% from $1.05 in first quarter 2014, which included a $0.07 benefit per diluted share from New York State Workers' Compensation Board assessments |
| |
• | First quarter 2015 net income per diluted share of $1.08 rose 5% from first quarter 2014 |
| |
• | Property & Casualty (Combined) first quarter 2015 combined ratio before catastrophes and prior year favorable loss reserve development* was 91.7, essentially flat with first quarter 2014, excluding the 2.0 point benefit from New York State Workers' Compensation Board assessments |
| |
• | Standard Commercial renewal written price increases averaged 3% |
| |
• | Book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income*, was $41.47, up 3% over March 31, 2014 |
| |
• | Common share repurchases totaled $250 million for 6.1 million shares in first quarter 2015, contributing to the 9% reduction in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding since March 31, 2014 |
HARTFORD, Conn., April 27, 2015 – The Hartford (NYSE:HIG) reported core earnings of $452 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (first quarter 2015), down $49 million, or 10%, from $501 million in first quarter 2014. The decrease from first quarter 2014 was primarily due to a $32 million, after-tax, benefit for New York State Workers' Compensation Board assessments (NY Assessments) in first quarter 2014 and a $25 million, after-tax, reduction in favorable property and casualty (P&C) prior year loss and loss adjustment expense reserve development (PYD). Catastrophe losses did not have a material impact on the change in core earnings, totaling $54 million, after-tax, in first quarter 2015 and $56 million, after-tax, in first quarter 2014.
First quarter 2015 core earnings per diluted share were $1.04, a 1% decrease from $1.05 in first quarter 2014, as the accretive impact of the 9% decrease in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding largely offset the core earnings decrease.
*Denotes financial measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP).
The decrease in weighted average common shares outstanding resulted from the company's repurchase of 46.8 million shares since March 31, 2014, including 6.1 million shares in first quarter 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the company had $729 million of remaining share repurchase authorization through Dec. 31, 2015 under its current capital management plan.
First quarter 2015 net income totaled $467 million, down $28 million, or 6%, from $495 million in first quarter 2014, due principally to the $49 million decrease in core earnings that was largely offset by a $36 million reduction in net realized capital losses, after-tax and deferred acquisition costs (DAC), excluded from core earnings compared with first quarter 2014. In addition, first quarter 2014 included $29 million of income from discontinued operations earned by the Japan annuity business that was sold in June 2014; first quarter 2015 did not have any income from discontinued operations.
First quarter 2015 net income per diluted share was $1.08, up 5% from $1.03 per diluted share in first quarter 2014 as the decrease in net income was more than offset by the accretive impact of share repurchases.
"The Hartford is off to a good start in 2015, and all our businesses performed well from a growth and earnings perspective," said The Hartford's Chairman and CEO Christopher Swift. "We continue to execute on our strategy and our businesses are delivering against their operating and financial goals, despite continued low interest rates and a U.S. P&C pricing cycle that is increasingly competitive. We are well-positioned to navigate these challenges, as we remain a disciplined underwriter committed to creating shareholder value."
"Our P&C and Group Benefits businesses started 2015 with solid results and steady operating performance," said The Hartford's President Doug Elliot. "The combined ratio was 91.7 before catastrophes and PYD, while Group Benefits after-tax core earnings margin* rose to 5.9%. The marketplace has grown more competitive over the last quarter, and we are very focused on core metrics and key performance indicators as we continue to balance margins and growth. Our operating focus and investments in product, underwriting and technology provide us a strong foundation moving forward.”

[2] Commercial Lines, Small Commercial and Middle Market combined ratios include an expense ratio benefit of 3.2 point, 3.3 point and 2.6 point, respectively, in first quarter 2014 from NY Assessments
Core earnings in Commercial Lines decreased 11% in first quarter 2015 to $234 million from $264 million in first quarter 2014 largely due to an expense benefit in first quarter 2014 of $32 million, after-tax, from NY Assessments. Excluding this benefit, first quarter 2015 core earnings were essentially flat to the prior year period. An improvement in underwriting margins on workers’ compensation due to earned pricing increases and moderate loss costs was offset by higher expenses, excluding NY Assessments, due to higher underwriting expenses. Net investment income was essentially flat at $257 million, before tax, as both periods reflected strong investment income on limited partnerships and other alternative investments (LPs).
Commercial Lines underwriting gain totaled $65 million, before tax, in first quarter 2015 for a 95.9 combined ratio compared with a first quarter 2014 underwriting gain of $107 million, before tax, for a 93.1 combined ratio. The decrease in underwriting gain and increase in combined ratio was principally due to the $49 million, before tax, favorable benefit of NY Assessments in first quarter 2014. Excluding the impact of NY Assessments, first quarter 2015 underwriting gain and
combined ratio improved by $7 million and 0.4 point, respectively, over the prior year period. In addition to NY Assessments, favorable PYD decreased in Commercial Lines in first quarter 2015 to $2 million, before tax, compared with net favorable PYD of $7 million, before tax, in first quarter 2014. The favorable PYD in first quarter 2015 was primarily driven by the professional and general liability lines, and was largely offset by commercial auto liability strengthening. Catastrophe losses were essentially flat between the two periods at $58 million, before tax, compared with $60 million, before tax, in first quarter 2014.
First quarter 2015 combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD was 92.4, a 0.4 point improvement over first quarter 2014 excluding the 3.2 point expense ratio benefit from NY Assessments in first quarter 2014. The improvement was largely driven by Middle Market, which had a 93.7 combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD, a 1.1 point improvement over first quarter 2014 excluding the NY Assessments. The improvement in Middle Market combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD resulted from pricing and underwriting initiatives over the past several years, as well as continued modest loss cost inflation. Excluding NY Assessments, Small Commercial's combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD rose 0.4 point to 89.6, reflecting increased underwriting expenses as a result of business investments and higher agency supplemental compensation as a result of loss ratio improvements.
First quarter 2015 written premiums in Commercial Lines grew 3% to $1,722 million over first quarter 2014, reflecting renewal written price increases and strong retention in Small Commercial and Middle Market, which together comprise 87% of Commercial Lines written premiums. Policy count retention in Small Commercial increased 2.0 points over first quarter 2014 to 85%, while in Middle Market retention remained stable at 81%. First quarter 2015 renewal written price increases averaged 3% in Standard Commercial, which included 3% in Small Commercial and 2% in Middle Market, exclusive of specialty programs and livestock. Written premiums also benefited from increased new business premiums, rising 7% over first quarter 2014 in Small Commercial and 13% in Middle Market.
PERSONAL LINES
First Quarter 2015 Highlights:
| |
• | Written premiums rose 1% over first quarter 2014 due to continued strong renewal written price increases |
| |
• | Combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD of 89.9 increased 1.2 points compared with 88.7 in first quarter 2014 due to higher automobile liability losses and physical damage severity |
| |
• | Underwriting gain of $75 million decreased from $113 million in first quarter 2014 primarily due to less favorable PYD |

Written premiums | $939 | $927 | 1% |
Core earnings in Personal Lines decreased 26% in first quarter 2015 over the prior year quarter primarily due to a lower underwriting gain. Personal Lines underwriting gain decreased $38 million, before tax, to $75 million in first quarter 2015 compared with $113 million in first quarter 2014 primarily due to less favorable PYD, which declined from favorable PYD of $34 million, before tax, in first quarter 2014 to favorable PYD of $4 million, before tax in first quarter 2015. Catastrophes were essentially flat between the two periods, totaling $25 million, before tax, in first quarter 2015 compared with $26 million, before tax, in first quarter 2014.
First quarter 2015 combined ratio increased 4.3 points to 92.1 from 87.8 in first quarter 2014 largely due to less favorable PYD. Catastrophes and PYD were a net benefit of 0.9 point on the first quarter 2014 combined ratio versus a net 2.2 point expense in first quarter 2015. First quarter 2015 combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD increased 1.2 points to 89.9 due to higher automobile liability losses and physical damage severity compared with first quarter 2014.
First quarter 2015 Personal Lines written premiums rose 1% over first quarter 2014 as higher first quarter 2015 renewal written price increases were offset by lower retention compared to first quarter 2014. Renewal written price increases in first quarter 2015 were 7% in automobile and 8% in homeowners to address rate needs in certain segments. First quarter 2015 automobile premium retention declined to 87%, down 2 points compared with first quarter 2014, while homeowners premium retention declined 3 points to 90%. New business premium in first quarter 2015 was impacted by underwriting actions in certain segments, declining 6% to $128 million over first quarter 2014 with decreases of 3% in automobile and 16% in homeowners.
GROUP BENEFITS
First Quarter 2015 Highlights:
| |
• | Core earnings of $52 million increased 16% over first quarter 2014 with improved group disability and group life results, excluding Association-Financial Institutions business |
| |
• | After-tax core earnings margin* increased to 5.9% from 5.1% in first quarter 2014 |
| |
• | Total fully insured ongoing sales rose 67%, up 40% for group disability and 87% for group life, over first quarter 2014 |

| |
[2] | Fully insured ongoing premiums excludes buyout premiums and premium equivalents; excludes A-FI premiums of $0 million and $44 million in first quarter 2015 and 2014, respectively |
First quarter 2015 Group Benefits core earnings totaled $52 million, a 16% increase from $45 million in first quarter 2014, primarily due to improved group disability and group life loss ratios as well as a lower expense ratio compared with first quarter 2014, excluding the Association-Financial Institutions (A-FI) book of business. The A-FI book, which was in the group life business, is now fully in runoff and does not impact 2015 results, although it did impact the 2014 group life loss and expense ratios in 2014. The after-tax core earnings margin increased to 5.9% in first quarter 2015 from 5.1% in first quarter 2014.
The first quarter 2015 total loss ratio, excluding A-FI, was 76.7%, a 0.9 point improvement, reflecting a 0.6 point improvement in group disability and 0.8 point improvement in group life compared with first quarter 2014. The expense ratio, excluding A-FI, also improved, declining 0.7 point to 26.7% in first quarter 2015.
First quarter 2015 fully insured ongoing premiums were $763 million, up 4% from first quarter 2014, excluding A-FI, reflecting increased sales, higher persistency and improved pricing. Fully insured ongoing sales totaled $300 million in first quarter 2015, up 67% over first quarter 2014. Group disability sales increased 40% to $123 million and group life sales rose 87% to $148 million reflecting strong January 2015 sales, including several large accounts that returned to the company after having moved to competitors in prior years.
MUTUAL FUNDS
First Quarter 2015 Highlights:
| |
• | Mutual Fund sales of $4.7 billion increased 28% compared with first quarter 2014 |
| |
• | Mutual Fund net flows, which exclude Talcott Resolution assets under management (AUM), were $529 million |
| |
• | Mutual Fund core earnings rose 5% over first quarter 2014 to $22 million |

Core earnings for the Mutual Funds segment rose 5% to $22 million in first quarter 2015 compared with first quarter 2014 due to increased revenues resulting from higher Mutual Fund AUM compared with first quarter 2014. During the quarter, Mutual Fund net flows were $529 million, benefiting from a 28% increase in sales during the quarter.
Total AUM for the segment declined 2% due to the continued runoff of Talcott Resolution AUM, which decreased 19% over the last twelve months to $20.2 billion at March 31, 2015. Mutual Fund AUM increased to $75.7 billion at March 31, 2015 from $73.3 billion at March 31, 2014 primarily due to higher market levels and strong sales over the period.
TALCOTT RESOLUTION
First Quarter 2015 Highlights:
| |
• | Core earnings decreased 1% to $111 million due to the continued runoff of the variable annuity block, partially offset by lower expenses |
| |
• | Variable annuity contract counts declined 3% and 13% from Dec. 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively |
| |

Fixed annuity and other contract count (in thousands) | 137 | 163 | (16)% |
Talcott Resolution first quarter 2015 core earnings were $111 million, a 1% decrease from first quarter 2014, due to the decrease in variable annuity (VA) fees as a result of the runoff of the block, largely offset by lower expenses, including lower costs related to contract holder initiatives.
VA and fixed annuity contract counts as of March 31, 2015 declined 3% and 1%, respectively, from Dec. 31, 2014 and 13% and 16%, respectively, from March 31, 2014.
INVESTMENTS
First Quarter 2015 Highlights:
| |
• | Annualized investment yield, excluding LPs, before tax, was 4.1%, down from 4.2% in first quarter 2014, primarily due to lower reinvestment rates over the 12 months |
| |
• | Annualized investment yield on LPs, before tax, was 14%, up from 13% in first quarter 2014 and above the company's outlook of 6% |
| |

[1] | Yields, before tax, calculated using annualized net investment income divided by the monthly average invested assets at cost, amortized cost, or adjusted carrying value, as applicable, excluding repurchase agreement collateral, if any, and derivatives book value. |
First quarter 2015 net investment income totaled $809 million, before tax, a 2% decrease from first quarter 2014 due to a decrease in total investments excluding equity securities, trading. The carrying value of total invested assets, excluding equity securities, trading, declined to $76.6 billion at March 31, 2015 compared with $79.7 billion at March 31, 2014 largely due to the runoff of Talcott Resolution, including the sale of the Japan annuity business in second quarter 2014. LPs did not have a material impact on the change in net investment income in the quarter, with first quarter 2015 net investment income on LPs of $99 million, before tax, compared with $97 million, before tax, in first quarter 2014.
Excluding the impact of lower invested assets, investment income remained relatively consistent with first quarter 2014 as annualized yield, before tax, was 4.5% in both periods. Annualized yield, before tax, on LPs increased to 13.7% compared with 13.0% in first quarter 2014. Annualized investment yield excluding LPs, before tax, declined slightly from 4.2% in first quarter 2014 to 4.1%, primarily due to lower reinvestment rates over the past 12 months.
The credit performance of the company's general account assets remained strong. Net impairment losses in first quarter 2015, including changes in mortgage loan loss reserves, totaled $15 million, before tax, down from $22 million, before tax, in first quarter 2014.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Hartford’s stockholders’ equity was $19.1 billion as of March 31, 2015, a 2% increase from $18.7 billion as of Dec. 31, 2014, primarily due to net income of $467 million and a $222 million increase in AOCI, partially offset by common share repurchases of $250 million and common dividends of $75 million.
Book value per diluted common share was $44.13 as of March 31, 2015, an increase of 3% from Dec. 31, 2014, as a result of the 2% increase in shareholders' equity and the impact of share repurchases on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Excluding AOCI, book value per diluted common share was up 2% to $41.47 as of March 31, 2015 compared with $40.71 at Dec. 31, 2014.
Weighted average common shares outstanding and weighted average diluted common shares outstanding both decreased by 2% to 422.6 million and 433.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2015 from Dec. 31, 2014 as a result of the company's repurchase of 6.1 million common shares for $250 million, at an average price of $40.82 per share. Under the capital management plan announced in 2014, the company has $2.775 billion of equity repurchase authorization for the period Jan. 1, 2014 through Dec. 31, 2015. As of April 24, 2015, the company has spent $2.119 billion for equity repurchases under this program, including $73 million since March 31, 2014.
On April 24, 2015 the company announced that it will redeem for cash the entire $296 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 4.0% senior notes due Oct. 15, 2017 on May 27, 2015. The notes will be redeemed at an estimated redemption price of approximately $320 million including a make-whole premium and any interest accrued and unpaid to the redemption date. The company expects to use cash on hand to finance the redemption. The company expects to use an additional $180 million for other debt repayment actions, depending on market conditions.

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 first quarter 2015, which is available on The Hartford's website, http://ir.thehartford.com.
Book value per diluted common share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI”): Book value per diluted common share excluding AOCI is a non-GAAP financial measure based on a GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing (a) common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI, after-tax, by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Hartford provides book value per diluted common share excluding AOCI to enable investors to analyze the company’s stockholders’ equity excluding the effect of changes in the value of the company’s investment portfolio and other assets due to interest rates, currency and other factors. The Hartford believes book value per diluted common share excluding AOCI is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in market value. Book value per diluted common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. A reconciliation of book value per diluted common share, including AOCI to book value per diluted common share, excluding AOCI is set forth below.
|
| | | |
| As of |
| Mar 31 2015 | Dec 31 2014 | Change |
Book value per diluted common share, including AOCI | $44.13 | $42.84 | 3% |
Less: Per diluted share impact of AOCI | $2.66 | $2.13 | 25% |
Book value per diluted common share, excluding AOCI | $41.47 | $40.71 | 2% |
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 charges, pension settlements, loss on extinguishment of debt, reinsurance gains and losses on business disposition transactions, income tax benefit from reduction in valuation allowance, discontinued operations, and the impact of Unlocks to deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), sales inducement assets ("SIA"), unearned revenue reserves ("URR") and death and other insurance benefit reserve balances. 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 and net periodic settlements on the Japan fixed annuity cross-currency swap. These net realized gains and losses are directly related
to an offsetting item included in the income statement such as net investment income. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) 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) and core earnings when reviewing the company’s performance.
A reconciliation of core earnings to net income (loss) for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, is included in this press release. A reconciliation of core earnings to net income (loss) 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 March 31, 2015.
Core earnings available to common shareholders per diluted share: Core earnings available to common shareholders 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 available to common shareholders 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 available to common shareholders 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 available to common shareholders per diluted share when reviewing the company's performance. A reconciliation of core earnings available to common shareholders per diluted share to net income (loss) per diluted common share for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is provided in the table below.

After-tax core earnings margin: The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure after-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, to evaluate, and believes it is an important measure of, the Group Benefits segment's operating performance. After-tax margin is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that after-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, 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. After-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, should not be considered as a substitute for after-tax margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Group Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both after-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, and after-tax margin when reviewing performance. After-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, is calculated by dividing core earnings, excluding buyouts, by revenues, excluding buyouts and realized gains (losses). A reconciliation of after-tax margin to after-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, is set forth below.

| Three Months Ended March 31, |

After-tax core earnings margin (excluding buyouts) | 5.9 | % | 5.1 | % | 0.8 |
|
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 March 31, 2015 and 2014, is set forth below.

Underwriting gain | $75 | $113 |
Combined ratio before catastrophes and prior year development: Combined ratio before catastrophes and prior year development (PYD) 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, 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 combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD 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 combined ratio before catastrophes and PYD for individual reporting segments can be found in this press release under the headings Commercial Lines and Personal Lines.

macroeconomic developments on the attractiveness of our products, the returns in our investment portfolios and the hedging costs associated with our variable annuities business; financial risk related to the continued reinvestment of our investment portfolios and performance of our hedge program for our runoff annuity block; market risks associated with our business, including changes in interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, market volatility and foreign exchange rates, commodities prices and implied volatility levels, as well as continuing uncertainty in key sectors such as the global real estate market; the impact on our investment portfolio if our investment portfolio is concentrated in any particular segment of the economy; risk associated with the use of analytical models in making decisions in key areas such as underwriting, capital, hedging, reserving, and catastrophe risk management; the potential for further acceleration of deferred policy acquisition cost amortization; the potential for further impairments of our goodwill or the potential for changes in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets; the potential for differing interpretations of the methodologies, estimations and assumptions that underlie the valuation of the Company’s financial instruments that could result in changes to investment valuations; the difficulty in predicting the Company’s potential exposure for asbestos and environmental claims; the subjective determinations that underlie the Company’s evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities; the impact on our statutory capital of various factors, including many that are outside the Company’s control, which can in turn affect our credit and financial strength ratings, cost of capital, regulatory compliance and other aspects of our business and results; risks to our business, financial position, prospects and results associated with negative rating actions or downgrades in the Company’s financial strength and credit ratings or negative rating actions or downgrades relating to our investments; losses due to nonperformance or defaults by others, including reinsurers, sourcing partners, derivative counterparties and other third parties; the potential for losses due to our reinsurers' unwillingness or inability to meet their obligations under reinsurance contracts and the availability, pricing and adequacy of reinsurance to protect us against losses; the possibility of unfavorable loss development including with respect to long-tailed exposures; the possibility of a pandemic, earthquake, or other natural or man-made disaster that may adversely affect our businesses; weather and other natural physical events, including the severity and frequency of storms, hail, winter storms, hurricanes and tropical storms, as well as climate change and its potential impact on weather patterns; the uncertain effects of emerging claim and coverage issues; the Company’s ability to effectively price its property and casualty policies, including its ability to obtain regulatory consents to pricing actions or to non-renewal or withdrawal of certain product lines; technology innovations, such as telematics and other usage-based methods of determining premiums, auto technology advancements that improve driver safety and technologies that facilitate ride or home sharing, that may alter demand for the Company’s products, impact the frequency or severity of losses and/or impact the way the Company markets, distributes and underwrites its products; the possible occurrence of terrorist attacks and the Company’s ability to contain its exposure, including limitations on coverage from the federal government under applicable reinsurance terrorism laws; volatility in our statutory and United States ("U.S.") GAAP earnings and potential material changes to our results resulting from our adjustment of our risk management program to emphasize protection of economic value; the cost and other effects of increased regulation as a result of the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the potential effect of other domestic and foreign regulatory developments, including those that could adversely impact the demand for the Company’s products, operating costs and required capital levels; unfavorable judicial or legislative developments; regulatory limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends; the impact of changes in federal or state tax laws; the impact of potential changes in accounting principles and related financial reporting requirements; regulatory requirements that could delay, deter or prevent a takeover attempt that shareholders might consider in their best interests; the risks, challenges and uncertainties associated with our capital management plan,
expense reduction initiatives and other actions, which may include acquisitions, divestitures or restructurings; actions by our competitors, many of which are larger or have greater financial resources than we do; the Company’s ability to market, distribute and provide investment advisory services in relation to our products through current and future distribution channels and advisory firms; 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; the risk that our framework for managing operational risks may not be effective in mitigating material risk and loss to the Company; 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; and other factors described in such forward-looking statements and other factors described in such forward-looking statements or in The Hartford's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings The Hartford makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 six reporting segments, Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Property & Casualty Other Operations ("P&C Other Operations"), Group Benefits, Mutual Funds and Talcott Resolution, 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 (collectively "Property & Casualty (Combined)"). 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, 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 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, currently 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, associations, affinity groups and financial institutions. Group Benefits offers disability underwriting, administration, claims processing and reinsurance to other insurers and self-funded employer plans.
Mutual Funds provides investment management, administration, distribution and related services to investors through investment products in both domestic and international markets, and is separated into two distinct asset categories referred to as Mutual Fund funds and Talcott funds. Mutual Fund funds are sold primarily through retail, bank trust and registered investment advisor channels. Talcott funds represents those assets held in separate accounts supporting the Company's legacy runoff variable insurance products.
Talcott Resolution is comprised of the runoff of the Company's U.S. annuity and institutional and private-placement life insurance businesses, and the retained Japan fixed payout annuity liabilities.
Corporate includes the Company's debt financing and related interest expense, as well as other capital raising activities; and purchase accounting adjustments related to goodwill and other expenses not allocated to the reporting segments.
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, deposits, net flows, account value, insurance in-force, premium retention, renewal 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 written price increases represent the combined effect of rate changes and amount of insurance per unit of exposure since the prior year. 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) 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 and expenses 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 Company, along with others in the life 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.
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.
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 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, pension settlements, loss on extinguishment of debt, reinsurance gains and losses from disposal of businesses, income tax benefit from reduction in deferred income tax valuation allowance, discontinued operations, and the impact of Unlocks to deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), sales inducement assets ("SIA") and death and other insurance benefit reserve balances. 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 (after-tax and the effects of DAC) 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. Net income is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business. Therefore, the Company believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate both net income and core earnings when reviewing the Company's performance. A reconciliation of core earnings to net income (loss) 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 per share is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Core earnings per share should not be considered as a substitute for net income 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 both net income per share and core earnings per share when reviewing our performance.
Book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, is calculated based upon a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing (a) total stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, after tax, by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Company provides book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, 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 book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, 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 measure. A reconciliation of book value per diluted share to book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, is set forth on page 1.
The Company provides different measures of the return on stockholders' equity (“ROE”). ROE (core earnings last twelve months to stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI), is calculated based on non-GAAP financial measures. ROE (core earnings last twelve months to stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI) is calculated by dividing (a) core earnings for the prior four fiscal quarters by (b) average common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI. 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. The Company excludes AOCI in the calculation of these return-on-equity measures 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. ROE (net income last twelve months to stockholders' equity, including AOCI) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
Written premium is a statutory accounting financial measure used by the Company as an important indicator of the operating performance of the Company's Commercial Lines and Personal Lines operations. Because written premium represents the amount of premiums charged for policies issued, net of reinsurance, during a fiscal period, the Company believes it is useful to investors because it reflects current trends in the Company's sale of property and casualty insurance products. Earned premium, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, represents all premiums that are recognized as revenues during a fiscal period. The difference between written premium and earned premium is attributable to the change in unearned premium reserves. A reconciliation of written premium to earned premium for Commercial Lines and Personal Lines is set forth on pages 11 and 14, respectively.
The Company evaluates profitability of the 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. 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 economies of scale and 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. A reconciliation of underwriting gain (loss) to net income for the Company's P&C businesses is set forth on page 9.
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. Catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or loss amount in advance, and therefore their effects are not included in earnings or losses and loss adjustment expense reserves prior to occurrence. The Company believes that a discussion of the effect of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability of periodic earnings.
After-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, 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. After-tax margin (not presented herein) is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that after-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, 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. After-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, should not be considered as a substitute for after-tax margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Group Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both after-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts, and after-tax margin when reviewing performance. After-tax core earnings margin, excluding buyouts is calculated by dividing core earnings excluding buyout by revenues excluding buyouts and realized gains (losses).
Return on Assets ("ROA"), core earnings, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate the Mutual Funds and Talcott Resolution (Individual Annuity) segments' 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 these businesses 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 businesses. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both ROA, core earnings, and ROA when reviewing the Company's performance.
