Investment and Balance Sheet Highlights
- 18% or $43 million increase in second-quarter 2025 pretax investment income, including a 24% increase in bond interest income and a 1% increase in stock portfolio dividends.
- Three-month increase of 4% in fair value of total investments at June 30, 2025, including a 3% increase for the bond portfolio and a 5% increase for the stock portfolio.

Confident in Long-Term Plans
Stephen M. Spray, president and chief executive officer, commented: "I'm pleased with our overall second-quarter 2025 results. It was a solid quarter, showing the strength of our agent-centered strategy and the value of our long-term plans to steadily expand product and geographic diversification as well as deepen pricing segmentation and sophistication.
"We saw the increases in weather-related catastrophe events that started the year continue in the second quarter. In April, May and June, 20 total catastrophes were declared, including the heart-breaking floods in Texas. Our claims associates continued to deliver fast, fair and empathetic service, paying more than half a billion dollars in catastrophe-related claims so far in 2025.
"While our 103.8% combined ratio for the first six months of the year is higher than we'd like it to be, that ratio for our second quarter improved 3.6 points to 94.9%. Again demonstrating the strength of our long-term initiatives, our current accident year combined ratio before catastrophe losses improved 3.1 points for the quarter and 1.9 points for the first six months, reaching 85.1% and 87.7%, respectively.
"Pretax investment income for the second quarter also grew, rising 18% to $285 million, driven by a 24% increase in bond interest income."
Balancing Growth and Profitability
"We believe combining our hallmark of personal service with data-driven analytics will allow us to grow profitably through all market cycles. Property casualty consolidated net written premiums grew 11% for both the second quarter and the first half of 2025, surpassing $5 billion in the first six months for the first time ever.
"Keeping underwriting discipline in mind, we've managed average commercial lines price increases near the high end of the mid-single-digit percent range and excess and surplus lines in the high-single-digit percentage range. Personal lines homeowner prices increased on average in the low-double digit percent range and auto in the high-single-digit percent range.
"In May, we launched our fifth product brokered through CSU Producer Resources Inc. with the support of Cincinnati Global Underwriting Ltd. We believe having this additional capability is also boosting our ability to write more excess and surplus lines business overall, contributing to the strong 24% increase in second-quarter new business written premiums for our E&S segment."
Book Value Reaches New Record
"At June 30, our book value again reached a record high, increasing 2.6% since December 31, 2024, to $91.46. Consolidated cash and total investments also reached a new high, exceeding $30 billion.
"Our ample capital allows us to execute on our long-term strategies and, at the same time, pay dividends to shareholders. Our value creation ratio, which considers the dividends we pay as well as growth in book value, was 4.6% for the first half of 2025."
