The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The words "Company," "we," "us," or "our" refer to Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries, except as expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise. We have prepared our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements ("Financial Statements") in conformity with (i) United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and (ii) the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. These require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial statement balances and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Our Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that, in our opinion, are normal, recurring, and necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial condition. Our Financial Statements cover the first quarters ended March 31, 2026 ("First Quarter 2026") and March 31, 2025 ("First Quarter 2025"). Our Financial Statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP and the SEC for audited annual financial statements. Because interim period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of full-year results, our Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Annual Report") filed with the SEC.

NOTE 2. Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted no accounting pronouncements in First Quarter 2026.

Pronouncements to be effective in the future

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. This ASU does not change the expense captions on the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. This ASU can be applied prospectively. Retrospective application and early adoption are permitted. As ASU 2024-03 only requires additional disclosure, it will not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 updates the accounting guidance for internal-use software by eliminating references to software development project stages, thereby requiring companies to start capitalizing software costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and (ii) it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Amendments can be applied either (i) prospectively, (ii) through a modified transition approach based on the existing projects status and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption, or (iii) retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025‑11”). ASU 2025‑11 clarifies the scope, form, content, and disclosure requirements applicable to interim financial reporting under U.S. GAAP. The ASU improves the navigability of Topic 270 and provides clearer guidance on when the interim reporting requirements apply. Specifically, the amendments (1) clarify that Topic 270 applies to entities that provide interim financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with GAAP, (2) add a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures drawn from other FASB topics, and (3) introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events occurring after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The ASU is not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting, or expand or reduce existing disclosure requirements. ASU 2025‑11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Because ASU 2025‑11 primarily provides clarifying guidance and requires disclosures in certain circumstances, it will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 3. Statements of Cash Flows

Supplemental cash flow information was as follows:

1Examples of corporate actions include like-kind exchanges, non-cash acquisitions, and stock splits.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the amount reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Amounts in restricted cash represent cash received from the National Flood Insurance Program ("NFIP") that can only be used to pay flood claims under the Write Your Own program.

NOTE 4. Investments

(a) Information regarding our AFS securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were as follows:

The following tables provide a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses on our AFS fixed income securities for the indicated periods:

During First Quarter 2026 and First Quarter 2025, we had no write-offs or recoveries of our AFS fixed income securities.

For information on our methodology and significant inputs used to measure expected credit losses, our accounting policy for recognizing write-offs of uncollectible amounts, and our treatment of accrued interest, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report. Accrued interest on AFS securities was $91.2 million as of March 31, 2026, and $88.9 million as of December 31, 2025. We did not record any material write-offs of accrued interest in First Quarter 2026 or First Quarter 2025.

(b) Quantitative information about unrealized losses on our AFS portfolio follows:

We currently do not intend to sell any of the securities summarized in the tables above, nor do we believe we will be required to sell any of them. The increase in gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, was primarily driven by an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates. Considering these factors and our review of these securities under our credit loss policy as described in Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report, we have concluded that no additional allowance for credit loss is required on these balances beyond the allowance for credit loss recorded as of March 31, 2026. This conclusion reflects our current judgment about the financial position and future prospects of the entities that issued the investment security and underlying collateral.

(c) AFS and held-to-maturity ("HTM") fixed income securities at March 31, 2026, by contractual maturity are shown below. The maturities of RMBS, CMBS, CLO and other ABS securities were calculated using each security's expected maturities. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

(d) The following table summarizes our alternative investment portfolio by strategy:

We are contractually committed to make additional investments up to the remaining commitments stated above. We did not provide any non-contractual financial support during 2026 or 2025.

(e) We have pledged certain AFS fixed income securities as collateral related to our borrowing relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY"). We also had certain securities on deposit with various state and regulatory agencies at March 31, 2026, to comply with insurance laws. We retain all rights regarding all securities pledged as collateral.

The following table summarizes the market value of these securities at March 31, 2026:

(f) We did not have exposure to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer greater than 10% of our stockholders' equity, other than to certain U.S. government agencies, as of March 31, 2026, or December 31, 2025.

(g) The components of pre-tax net investment income earned were as follows:

The increase in net investment income earned in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, was primarily driven by active portfolio management and operating cash flow deployment.

(h) The following table summarizes net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses for the periods indicated:

Net unrealized gains and losses recognized in income on equity securities, as reflected in the table above, included the following:

NOTE 5. Fair Value Measurements

The financial assets in our investment portfolio are primarily measured at fair value as disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of our financial liabilities as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

For discussion regarding the fair value techniques of our financial instruments, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

The following tables provide quantitative disclosures of our financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

1Investments amounting to $281.2 million at March 31, 2026, and $274.8 million at December 31, 2025, were measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its practical expedient) and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. These investments are subject to restrictions on redemption, and the timing of liquidations of the underlying assets is unknown at each reporting period. The fair value amounts in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to total assets measured at fair value.

The following tables provide a summary of Level 3 changes in First Quarter 2026 and First Quarter 2025:

The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of Level 3 assets at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

1Other is comprised of broker quotes or other third-party pricing for which there is a lack of transparency into the inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative details of these unobservable inputs are neither provided to us, nor reasonably available to us, and therefore are not included in the tables above.

For the securities in the tables above valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, we apply an illiquidity spread in determining fair value. An increase in this assumption would result in a lower fair value measurement.

The following tables provide quantitative information about our financial assets and liabilities that were not measured at fair value, but were disclosed as such at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

NOTE 6. Allowance for Credit Losses on Premiums Receivable

The following table provides a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses on our premiums receivable balance for the indicated periods:

For a discussion of the methodology used to evaluate our estimate of expected credit losses on premiums receivable, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

NOTE 7. Reinsurance

We evaluate and monitor the financial condition of our reinsurers under voluntary reinsurance arrangements to minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The following tables provide (i) a disaggregation of our reinsurance recoverable balance by financial strength rating and (ii) an aging analysis of our past due reinsurance recoverable balances as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

The following table provides a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses on our reinsurance recoverable balance for the periods indicated:

For a discussion of the methodology used to evaluate our estimate of expected credit losses on our reinsurance recoverable balance, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

The following table lists direct, assumed, and ceded reinsurance amounts for premiums written, premiums earned, and loss and loss expense incurred for the indicated periods. For more information about reinsurance, refer to Note 9. "Reinsurance" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

NOTE 8. Reserve for Loss and Loss Expense

The table below provides a roll forward of the reserve for loss and loss expense for beginning and ending reserve balances:

Favorable prior year property reserve development was $15.6 million in First Quarter 2026. We did not record any favorable or unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2026.

Prior year reserve development in First Quarter 2025 was favorable by $13.7 million, consisting of $18.7 million of favorable property reserve development, partially offset by $5.0 million of unfavorable casualty reserve development. The unfavorable casualty reserve development related to our Standard Personal Lines segment and reflected $5.0 million in unfavorable development, primarily related to increased severities in accident year 2024 in the personal automobile line of business.

NOTE 9. Segment Information

We evaluate the results of our four reportable segments as follows:

• Our Standard Commercial Lines, Standard Personal Lines, and E&S Lines are evaluated on (i) before and after-tax underwriting results (net premiums earned, incurred loss and loss expense, policyholder dividends, policy acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses), (ii) their return on equity ("ROE") contribution, and (iii) their combined ratios.
• Our Investments segment is primarily evaluated on after-tax net investment income and its ROE contribution. After-tax net realized and unrealized gains and losses are also included in our Investments segment results.

In computing each segment's results, we do not make adjustments for interest expense or corporate expenses. No segment has a separate investment portfolio or allocated assets.

(a) The following table presents revenues by segments and a reconciliation to consolidated revenue.

(b) The following tables present information about our segments' pre- and after-tax income, significant expenses, and reconciliations to consolidated results for the periods indicated.

The "Other segment expenses" primarily consist of (i) fees paid for licenses, (ii) depreciation expense, and (iii) general overhead items to operate our business operations, including travel, postage, telephone, and utility expenses. "Loss and loss expense incurred" includes a portion of salaries and employee benefits related to claims personnel.

(c) The following tables present reconciliations of our segments' ROE contributions and combined ratios to consolidated results.

1"Net underwriting expenses incurred" includes "Other income" allocated to each reportable segment.

NOTE 10. Retirement Plans

The primary pension plan for our employees is the Retirement Income Plan for Selective Insurance Company of America (the "Pension Plan"). The Pension Plan is closed to new entrants, and its benefits ceased accruing after March 31, 2016. For more information about Selective Insurance Company of America's ("SICA") retirement plans, see Note 15. "Retirement Plans" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

The following tables provide information about the Pension Plan:

1The components of net periodic pension cost (benefit) are included within "Loss and loss expense incurred" and "Other insurance expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 11. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The components of comprehensive income (loss), both gross and net of tax, for First Quarter 2026 and First Quarter 2025 were as follows:

The following table shows each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") (net of taxes), including balances and changes, as of March 31, 2026:

1Represents change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities with credit loss recognized in earnings.

The reclassifications out of AOCI were as follows:

NOTE 12. Equity

On October 22, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase issued and outstanding shares of common stock up to $200 million, exclusive of any excise tax impact. This program was effective on October 27, 2025 and has no expiration date. Activity under the authorization was as follows:

1Excludes commissions and excise tax.

NOTE 13. Earnings per Common Share

The following table presents the calculations of earnings per common share ("EPS") on a basic and diluted basis:

NOTE 14. Related Party Transactions

Vanguard, one of the world’s largest investment management companies, previously reported that it had purchased our common shares in the ordinary course of its investment business and had previously filed Schedules 13G/A with the SEC. Based on their February 13, 2024 filing of Schedule 13G/A, their beneficial ownership was 10.24% of our common stock as of December 29, 2023.

Subsequently, on March 27, 2026, The Vanguard Group, Inc. filed a Schedule 13G/A with the SEC indicating that it holds no interest in our common shares. The filing indicated that due to an internal alignment, The Vanguard Group, Inc. will report beneficial interests on a disaggregated basis from its subsidiaries or business units. The disaggregated reporting for our common shares has not yet been filed with the SEC. We do not expect Vanguard or its subsidiaries to be deemed a controlling person for the purposes of applicable insurance law, but we will continue to monitor the filings when they occur.

NOTE 15. Litigation

As of March 31, 2026, we do not believe we are involved in any legal action that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of conducting business, we are parties in various legal actions. Most are claims litigation involving our ten insurance subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Insurance Subsidiaries") as (i) liability insurers defending or providing indemnity for third-party claims brought against our customers, (ii) insurers defending first-party coverage claims brought against them, or (iii) liability insurers seeking declaratory judgment on our insurance coverage obligations. We account for such activity by establishing unpaid loss and loss expense reserves. Considering potential losses and defense costs reserves, we expect that any potential ultimate liability for ordinary course claims litigation will not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

From time to time, our Insurance Subsidiaries are named as defendants in other legal actions, some asserting claims for substantial amounts. Plaintiffs may style these actions as class actions and seek judicial certification of a state or national class for allegations involving our business practices, such as improper medical provider reimbursement under workers compensation and personal and commercial automobile insurance policies or improper reimbursement for automobile parts. Similarly, our Insurance Subsidiaries can be named defendants in individual actions seeking extra-contractual damages, punitive damages, or penalties, often alleging bad faith in handling insurance claims. We believe we have valid defenses to these allegations and account for such activity by establishing unpaid loss and loss expense reserves. Considering estimated losses and defense costs reserves, we expect that any potential ultimate liability for these other legal actions will not be material to our consolidated financial condition. Litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable and the amounts sought in certain actions are large or indeterminate. Adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the quarterly or annual period in which they occur.

• Liquidity and Capital Resources; and
• Ratings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include amounts for which we have made informed estimates and judgments for transactions not yet completed. Such estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. As outlined in our 2025 Annual Report, those estimates and judgments most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements involved the following: (i) reserve for loss and loss expense; (ii) investment valuation and the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") fixed income securities; and (iii) reinsurance. These estimates and judgments require our use of assumptions about highly uncertain matters that make them subject to change as facts and circumstances develop. If we applied different estimates and judgments, the financial statements might have reported materially different amounts. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to pages 38 through 45 of our 2025 Annual Report.

Financial Highlights of Results for First Quarter 2026 and 20251

1Refer to the Glossary of Terms attached to our 2025 Annual Report as Exhibit 99.1 for definitions of terms used in this Form 10-Q.

2Non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss) per diluted common share, and non-GAAP operating ROE are comparable to net income (loss) available to common stockholders, net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share, and ROE, respectively, but exclude after-tax net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments included in net income (loss). Adjusted book value per common share is comparable to book value per common share, but excludes total after-tax unrealized gains and losses on investments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These non-GAAP measures are important financial measures used by us, analysts, and investors because the timing of realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on securities in any given period is largely discretionary. In addition, net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on investments could distort the analysis of trends.

The tables below provide reconciliations of our GAAP to non-GAAP measures:

The following table depicts the components of ROE and non-GAAP operating ROE:

In First Quarter 2026, we delivered an ROE of 11.2% and a non-GAAP operating ROE of 12.0%, driven by strong after-tax investment income of $113 million.

On a relative basis compared to last year, ROE declined 3.2 points and non-GAAP operating ROE declined 2.4 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025. This decline was driven by our insurance operations. Our overall combined ratio of 98.3% for First Quarter 2026 was 2.2 points higher than the 96.1% in First Quarter 2025, primarily driven by higher catastrophe losses and current year loss costs. The increased loss trend assumptions that we recognized over the course of 2025 are included in our expectations for 2026, which is the driver behind the increase in current year loss costs this year compared to last. The insurance segments contributed 2.0 points of ROE in First Quarter 2026, down 2.8 points from prior-year quarter.

Outlook

In First Quarter 2026, we delivered a double-digit operating ROE of 12.0% and returned $56 million to common stockholders through regular dividends and opportunistic share repurchases, reinforcing our commitment to delivering long-term value. As Selective celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026, we are proud of our history, the work our employees do, and the value we deliver our policyholders, distribution partners, and shareholders. To ensure our continued success, we remain focused on a set of key priorities across the company to drive future success, including:

• Relentlessly improving on the fundamentals across risk selection, individual policy pricing, and claims outcomes. Risk selection, granular and accurate risk pricing, and prompt, fair claims adjudication are foundational capabilities we have built over many decades and remain focused on today.
• Diversifying revenue and income within and across our three insurance segments. Growth levers include achieving greater market share and segment diversification in Standard Commercial Lines, potential geographic expansion in Standard Personal Lines, and increasing our product and distribution capabilities in E&S Lines and other specialty lines.
• Further leveraging the use of data analytics and technology, including general-purpose, industry-trained, and agentic artificial intelligence ("AI") solutions, to drive operational efficiency and improved underwriting and claim outcomes. Early AI successes in claims, underwriting, and risk management are delivering measurable outcomes in accuracy, speed, and productivity, positioning us to responsibly scale AI across the organization. We have also made considerable progress in modernizing our policy acquisition and claims systems. For example, system enhancements in our E&S Lines segment have created significant operational efficiency, with the segment’s premium production increasing significantly despite limited headcount growth.
• Building a connected, accountable, and empowered organization by developing talent and aligning on prioritized goals.

We remain committed to making strategic investments that fuel continued growth, innovation, and performance excellence. As we position ourselves for the future, we have several strategies to grow market share profitably:

• In our existing footprint, we are focused on growing with existing partners and strategically appointing new agency locations. In First Quarter 2026, we had a net increase of approximately thirty agency locations, and we had a net increase of 100 agency locations in 2025.
• Careful and deliberate geographic expansion. Since 2017, we have added fourteen states to our Standard Commercial Lines footprint, including Kansas in 2025. In First Quarter 2026, these expansion states produced $125 million in premium, representing approximately 9% of total direct premiums written and 1% marginal total premium growth. We expect to write new business in Montana and Wyoming by the end of 2026.

Our full-year expectations for 2026 are as follows:

• A GAAP combined ratio of 96.5% to 97.5%, including net catastrophe losses of 6 points. Our combined ratio estimate assumes no prior year casualty reserve development, as we record our best estimate each quarter. We do not make assumptions about future reserve development;
• After-tax net investment income of $465 million;
• An overall effective tax rate of 21.5%; and
• Weighted average shares of 60.5 million on a fully diluted basis, down from 61 million in our initial guidance. This reflects share repurchases in First Quarter 2026, but does not make assumptions about future share repurchases under our existing authorization.

Results of Operations and Related Information by Segment

Insurance Operations

The following table provides quantitative information for analyzing the combined ratio:

NPW decreased modestly in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, reflecting lower new business in a competitive environment and deliberate actions to enhance underwriting profitability. While this is a primary focus of ours, we are also executing strategies to support future growth opportunities, including expanding our geographic footprint and broadening our E&S distribution capabilities with retail access.

NPE grew 5% in First Quarter 2026 compared to the First Quarter 2025, driven by growth in NPW in 2025 and the corresponding earnings of those premiums written.

Loss and Loss Expenses

The following table provides quantitative information for analyzing loss and loss expense incurred:

The loss and loss expense ratio increased 2.6 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, driven by higher net catastrophe losses and current year casualty loss costs. Net catastrophe losses were 2.5 points higher in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, due to a higher frequency and severity of winter storms and thunderstorm events that impacted our footprint this year compared to last.

Current year casualty loss costs were higher in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, as the increased loss trend assumptions that we recognized over the course of 2025 are included in our expectations for 2026.

Standard Commercial Lines Segment

NPW decreased modestly in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, reflecting lower new business and retention in a competitive environment and deliberate actions to strengthen underwriting profitability. Retention is flat with year-end 2025, but down three-points compared to First Quarter 2025 due to pricing and underwriting actions aimed at improving profitability.

NPE grew 6% in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, driven by growth in NPW in 2025 and the corresponding earnings of those premiums written.

Loss and Loss Expenses

The following table provides quantitative information for analyzing loss and loss expense incurred:

The loss and loss expense ratio increased 4.2 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, driven by higher net catastrophe losses and current year casualty loss costs. Net catastrophe property losses increased the loss and loss expense ratio by 3.7 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, driven by a higher frequency and severity of winter storms and thunderstorm events that impacted our footprint this year compared to last.

Current year casualty loss costs were higher in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period as the increased loss trend assumptions that we recognized over the course of 2025 are included in our expectations for 2026. Elevated severity trend assumptions attributable to social inflation on our general liability and commercial automobile liability lines of business drove the increased loss trend assumptions. Lower workers compensation loss trends provided a partial offset due to decreasing claim frequencies in our 2026 expectations.

Refer to the line of business sections below for qualitative discussion on the significant drivers of changes in current year casualty loss costs.

Information about our most significant Standard Commercial Lines of business follows:

1n/a: not applicable.

NPW growth was flat in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, reflecting deliberate actions to enhance underwriting profitability. In sectors and markets where pricing does not align with our view of rate need, we are taking targeted underwriting actions, including (i) revising underwriting guidelines, (ii) tightening coverage offerings, and (iii) reducing writings.

NPE grew 7% in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, driven by growth in NPW in 2025 and the corresponding earnings of those premiums written.

The combined ratio increased 2.2 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, primarily driven by the following:

The general liability line of business has experienced a long-term historical trend of meaningful severity increases, partially offset by claim frequency decreases. We attribute the increased severities to elevated social inflation, which we view as an industry dynamic characterized by higher claimant propensity for attorney representation and litigation, longer settlement times, and higher settlement values. Certain jurisdictions with expanded liability theories and higher damage awards pose increased challenges. We are closely monitoring these jurisdictions and the broader trends across our business.

These dynamics have impacted our view of current year loss costs. We embedded a 2.1-point increase in current year casualty loss costs in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, driven by higher social inflation-related severity assumptions.

1n/a: not applicable.

NPW decreased 4% in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, driven by underwriting actions to improve profitability, such as achieving renewal pure price increases and tightening underwriting guidelines for fleet exposures. Lower renewal pure price increases this year compared to last were driven by a reduction in rates for physical damage that were partially offset by higher commercial automobile liability rates.

NPE grew 5% in First Quarter 2026 compared to the First Quarter 2025, driven by growth in NPW in 2025 and the corresponding earnings of those premiums written.

The combined ratio increased 0.8 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, and included the following:

We did not record any prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2026 or First Quarter 2025. Current year casualty loss costs were higher in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, as the increased loss trend assumptions we recognized over the course of 2025 are included in our expectations for 2026.

Non-catastrophe property losses were 2.1 points lower in First Quarter 2026 compared First Quarter 2025 and provided a partial offset to the increase in current year loss costs. This reduction was driven by (i) the earned impact of higher renewal pure price increases and (ii) period-to-period variability of non-catastrophe property losses.

1Includes Inland Marine.

2n/a: not applicable.

NPW grew a modest 1% in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, benefiting from direct new business, renewal pure price increases, and exposure growth on renewal policies.

The combined ratio increased 12.6 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025 and included the following:

Net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses increased the loss and loss expense ratio by an aggregate 13.0 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025. The increase in net catastrophe losses was driven by higher frequency and severity of winter storms and thunderstorm events that impacted our footprint this year compared to last.

1n/a: not applicable.

NPW decreased 4% in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, primarily due to decreases in renewal pure price and a reduction in direct new business.

The combined ratio decreased 4.5 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period and included the following:

The combined ratio was favorably impacted by a decrease in current year casualty loss costs of 2.6 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, primarily driven by decreasing claim frequencies leading to improved loss trends. In addition, the combined ratio benefited from a 1.6-point reduction in underwriting expenses in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, which was primarily driven by lower commissions on this line of business.

Standard Personal Lines Segment

NPW decreased 6% in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, primarily due to lower direct new business. New business decreased 15% in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period, driven by (i) market conditions, including an increasingly competitive market for auto insurance, (ii) restrictions we have in place to manage overall growth in the State of New Jersey, and (iii) competition in other states due to our recent rate activity. We have received regulatory approvals for increased rate levels in most of our footprint states and are focused on growth where we believe our rates are adequate.

The following table depicts direct new business, retention,and renewal pure price increases for the First Quarter 2026:

1Excludes our Flood direct premiums written, which are 100% ceded to the NFIP and do not impact NPW.

The change in NPE in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025 resulted from the same impacts to NPW described above.

Underwriting results for this segment improved in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period as we are obtaining positive results from the actions we took to refine our pricing factors and prioritize rate filings. We expect 2026 rate changes to remain above loss trends and in First Quarter 2026, we achieved renewal pure price increases of 10.6%. Additionally, we continue to focus our efforts on our target mass affluent market, with 98% of new business in First Quarter 2026 being in our target market.

Loss and Loss Expenses

The following table provides quantitative information for analyzing loss and loss expense incurred:

The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 4.7 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, driven primarily by the absence of prior year casualty reserve development this quarter. First Quarter 2025 results included unfavorable development of $5 million, or 4.8 points, for our personal automobile line of business. This development was primarily driven by increased severities related to our New Jersey portfolio in accident year 2024.

Net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses slightly increased the loss and loss expense ratio by an aggregate 0.3 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period. Net catastrophe losses were higher by 6.3 points and reflected higher frequency and severity of weather-related catastrophe events in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025. Non-catastrophe property losses were lower by 6.0 points, driven by (i) the earned impact of renewal pure price increases, and (ii) variability from period to period of non-catastrophe losses.

E&S Lines Segment

Increased competition in the marketplace moderated our NPW growth rate to 1% in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, primarily due to more capacity entering the E&S marketplace and the admitted markets' appetite for business previously written by E&S companies. NPW includes the impact of the following:

NPE grew 6% in First Quarter 2026 compared to the First Quarter 2025, driven by growth in NPW in 2025 and the corresponding earnings of those premiums written.

Loss and Loss Expenses

The following table provides quantitative information for analyzing loss and loss expense incurred:

The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 2.6 points in First Quarter 2026 compared to the same prior-year period. This decrease was primarily driven by lower catastrophe losses in First Quarter 2026, as the January 2025 California Palisades Fire and several severe wind and thunderstorm events impacted First Quarter 2025. Partially offsetting the lower catastrophe losses were (i) higher non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, due to normal period-to-period variability associated with property losses and (ii) higher current year casualty loss costs, primarily driven by higher embedded severity assumptions due to social inflation.

Investments

Our Investments segment's objectives are to maximize the economic value of our investment portfolio by achieving stable, risk-adjusted after-tax net investment income and generating long-term growth in book value per share. Our strategies consider prevailing market conditions, our enterprise risk tolerances, and other risk implications by:

• Maximizing the portfolio's overall total return by investing (i) the premiums from our insurance operations, (ii) amounts generated through our capital management strategies, including debt and equity security issuances, and (iii) profits of our business, and
• Maintaining (i) a well-diversified portfolio across issuers, sectors, and asset classes and (ii) a fixed income securities portfolio with high credit quality and acceptable duration and maturity profiles to provide ample liquidity.

The effective duration of our fixed income and short-term investments was 4.3 years as of March 31, 2026. We monitor and manage the effective duration to maximize yield while managing interest rate risk at an acceptable level. We buy and sell investments with the intent of maximizing investment returns in the current market environment, while balancing capital preservation and ensuring adequate liquidity to support our insurance business.

At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our fixed income and short-term investments (i) represented 92% of invested assets, (ii) had a weighted average credit rating of "A+", and (iii) had investment grade holdings representing 97% of the total fixed income and short-term investment portfolio.

For further details on the composition, credit quality, and various risks to which our portfolio is subject, see Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." of our 2025 Annual Report.

Invested assets increased $88.8 million at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting our active investment of operating cash flows, which were 18% of NPW in First Quarter 2026, partially offset by a $90.6 million increase in pre-tax net unrealized losses in our fixed income portfolio primarily due to higher interest rates during First Quarter 2026.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income earned components were as follows:

After-tax net investment income earned increased 18% in First Quarter 2026 compared to First Quarter 2025, primarily driven by active portfolio management and operating cash flow deployment.

Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses

When evaluating securities for sale, our general philosophy is to reduce our exposure to securities and sectors based on economic evaluations of whether (i) the fundamentals for that security or sector have deteriorated or (ii) the timing is appropriate to trade opportunistically for other securities with better economic-return characteristics. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses for the indicated periods were as follows:

Net credit loss expense on fixed income investments was $8.2 million in First Quarter 2026 compared to a benefit of $0.6 million in First Quarter 2025. The First Quarter 2026 expense was driven by higher interest rates in the quarter, which increased unrealized losses on our AFS securities, thereby increasing the amount of recognized credit losses.

Income Taxes

The following table provides information regarding income taxes.

1The effective tax rate is calculated by taking "Total income tax expense (benefit)" divided by "Income (loss) before income tax" less "Preferred stock dividends" on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital resources and liquidity reflect our ability to generate cash flows from business operations, borrow funds at competitive rates, and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.

Liquidity

We manage liquidity by generating sufficient cash flows to meet our business operations' short-term and long-term cash requirements. We adjust our liquidity requirements based on economic conditions, market conditions, and future cash flow commitments, as discussed further below.

Sources of Liquidity

The Parent's sources of cash historically have consisted of dividends from the Insurance Subsidiaries, the Parent's investment portfolio, borrowings under third-party lines of credit, intercompany revolving demand loan agreements with certain Insurance Subsidiaries, and the issuance of equity (common or preferred) and debt securities. We continue to monitor these sources, considering our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital preservation strategies.

The Parent's cash and components of its investment portfolio were as follows:

Short-term investments have historically been maintained in "AAA" rated money market funds and fixed income securities are comprised of high-quality, liquid government and corporate securities.

The amount and composition of the Parent's investment portfolio may change over time based on various factors, including the amount and availability of dividends from our Insurance Subsidiaries, investment income, expenses, other Parent cash needs, such as dividends payable to stockholders, asset allocation investment decisions, inorganic growth opportunities, debt retirement, and share repurchases. We have an established target for the Parent to maintain liquid investments of at least twice its expected annual net cash outflow needs.

Insurance Subsidiary Dividends

The Insurance Subsidiaries generate liquidity through insurance float, created by collecting premiums and earning investment income before paying claims. The float period can extend over many years. Our investment portfolio consists of securities with maturity dates that continually provide a source of cash flow for claims payments in the ordinary course of business. To protect our Insurance Subsidiaries' capital, we purchase reinsurance coverage for significantly large claims or catastrophes that may occur.

The Insurance Subsidiaries paid $75 million in total dividends to the Parent in First Quarter 2026. As of December 31, 2025, our allowable ordinary maximum dividend is $466 million for 2026. All Insurance Subsidiary dividends to the Parent are (i) subject to the approval and/or review of its domiciliary state insurance regulator and (ii) generally payable only from earned statutory surplus reported in its annual statements as of the preceding December 31. Although domiciliary state insurance regulators have historically approved Insurance Subsidiary dividends, there is no assurance they will approve future dividends.

New Jersey corporate law also limits the maximum amount of dividends the Parent can pay our stockholders if either (i) the Parent would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or (ii) the Parent’s total assets would be less than its total liabilities. The Parent’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders is also impacted by (i) covenants in its credit agreement that obligate it, among other things, to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to total capitalization, and (ii) the terms of our preferred stock that prohibit dividends from being declared or paid on our common stock if dividends are not declared and paid, or made payable, on all outstanding preferred stock for the latest completed dividend period.

For additional information regarding dividend restrictions and financial covenants, where applicable, see Note 11. "Indebtedness," Note 17. "Equity," and Note 22. "Statutory Financial Information, Capital Requirements, and Restrictions on Dividends and Transfers of Funds" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

Line of Credit

On June 30, 2025, the Parent entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein (the "Lenders") and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent ("Line of Credit"). Under the Line of Credit, the Lenders have agreed to provide the Parent with a $100 million revolving credit facility that can be increased to $200 million with the Lenders' consent. The Line of Credit will mature on June 30, 2028, and has a variable interest rate based on the Parent’s debt ratings. No borrowings were made under the Line of Credit in First Quarter 2026. For additional information regarding the Line of Credit and corresponding representations, warranties, and covenants, see Note 11. "Indebtedness" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

Four Insurance Subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") branches, as shown in the following table. Membership requires the ownership of branch stock and includes the right to access liquidity. All Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") borrowings are required to be secured by investments pledged as collateral. For additional information regarding collateral outstanding, refer to Note 4. "Investments" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q.

Branch Insurance Subsidiary Member

FHLBI Selective Insurance Company of South Carolina1 Selective Insurance Company of the Southeast1

FHLBNY Selective Insurance Company of America Selective Insurance Company of New York ("SICNY")

1These subsidiaries are jointly referred to as the "Indiana Subsidiaries" because they are domiciled in Indiana.

The Line of Credit permits aggregate borrowings from the FHLBI and the FHLBNY up to 10% of the respective member company’s admitted assets for the previous year. SICNY is domiciled in New York, which limits its FHLBNY borrowings to the lesser of 5% of admitted assets for the most recently completed fiscal quarter or 10% of the previous year-end's admitted assets. As of March 31, 2026, we had remaining capacity of $689.8 million for FHLB borrowings, with a $28.6 million additional stock purchase requirement to allow the member companies to borrow their remaining capacity amounts.

Short-term Borrowings

We made no short-term borrowings from FHLB branches during First Quarter 2026.

Intercompany Loan Agreements

The Parent has lending agreements with the Indiana Subsidiaries, approved by the Indiana Department of Insurance, that provide the Parent with additional intercompany liquidity. Like the Line of Credit, these lending agreements limit the Parent’s borrowings from the Indiana Subsidiaries to 10% of the admitted assets of the respective Indiana Subsidiary. The outstanding balance on these intercompany loans was $35.0 million as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The remaining capacity under these intercompany loan agreements was $198.0 million as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We have other insurance regulator-approved intercompany agreements that facilitate liquidity management between the Parent and the Insurance Subsidiaries to enhance flexibility.

Capital Market Activities

The Parent had no private or public stock issuances during First Quarter 2026.

During First Quarter 2026, we repurchased 337,303 shares of our common stock under our existing share repurchase program for $30.0 million, excluding commissions paid and estimated excise tax. We had $140.0 million of remaining capacity under our share repurchase program as of March 31, 2026. For additional information on this share repurchase program, refer to Note 17. "Equity" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

Uses of Liquidity

The Parent uses the liquidity generated from the sources discussed above to pay dividends to our stockholders, among other things. Dividends on shares of the Parent's common and preferred stock are declared and paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors ("Board") based on our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, and other relevant factors. Our Board declared:

• A quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.43 per common share payable on June 1, 2026, to holders of record on May 15, 2026; and
• A quarterly cash dividend of $287.50 per share on our 4.60% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B (equivalent to $0.28750 per depositary share) payable on June 15, 2026, to holders of record as of May 29, 2026.

Our ability to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations on our debt and our ability to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders is dependent on (i) liquidity at the Parent, (ii) the ability of the Insurance Subsidiaries to pay dividends, if necessary, and/or (iii) the availability of other sources of liquidity to the Parent. Our next borrowing principal repayment is $60 million to FHLBI due on December 16, 2026.

Restrictions on the Insurance Subsidiaries' ability to declare and pay dividends without alternative liquidity options, could materially affect our ability to service debt and pay dividends on common and preferred stock.

Capital Resources

Capital resources ensure we can pay policyholder claims, furnish the financial strength to support underwriting insurance risks, and facilitate continued business growth. At March 31, 2026, we had GAAP stockholders' equity and statutory surplus of $3.6 billion. With total debt of $901 million at March 31, 2026, our debt-to-capital ratio was 20.1%. For additional information on our statutory surplus, see Note 22. "Statutory Financial Information, Capital Requirements, and Restrictions on Dividends and Transfers of Funds" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

Our current and long-term material cash requirements associated with (i) loss and loss expense reserves, (ii) contractual obligations under operating and financing leases for office space and equipment, and (iii) notes payable, funded primarily with operating cash flows, have not materially changed since December 31, 2025. The Insurance Subsidiaries' net loss and loss expense reserves duration was 3.0 years at December 31, 2025.

The following table summarizes certain contractual obligations we had at March 31, 2026, that may require us to invest additional amounts into our investment portfolio, which we would fund primarily with operating cash flows.

There is no certainty (i) these additional investments will be required or (ii) about the timing of funding. We expect to have the capacity to fund these commitments through our normal operating and investing activities as they come due.

Our other cash requirements include, without limitation, dividends to stockholders, capital expenditures, and other operating expenses, including commissions to our distribution partners, labor costs, premium taxes, general and administrative expenses, and income taxes.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no (i) material guarantees on behalf of others and trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts accounted for at fair value, (ii) material transactions with related parties other than those disclosed in Note 18. "Related Party Transactions" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report and Note 14. "Related Party Transactions" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q, and (iii) material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Consequently, we are not exposed to any material financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk related to off-balance sheet arrangements.

We continually monitor our cash requirements and the capital resources we maintain at the holding company and Insurance Subsidiary levels. As part of our long-term capital strategy, we strive to maintain capital metrics that support our targeted financial strength relative to the macroeconomic environment. Based on our analysis and market conditions, we may take a variety of actions, including, without limitation, contributing capital to the Insurance Subsidiaries, issuing additional debt and/or equity securities, repurchasing existing debt, repurchasing shares of the Parent’s common stock, and adjusting common stockholders’ dividends.

Our capital management strategy is intended to protect the interests of the Insurance Subsidiaries' policyholders and our stockholders, and to enhance our financial strength and underwriting capacity. We have a strong capital base and high-quality underwriting portfolio, positioning us well to capitalize on potential market opportunities.

Book value per common share decreased to $56.58 as of March 31, 2026, from $56.74 as of December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.20 increase in after-tax net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities portfolio and $0.43 in common stockholder dividends, partially offset by $1.58 of net income per diluted common share. The increase in after-tax unrealized losses on our fixed income securities portfolio was primarily driven by an increase in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates during the quarter. Our adjusted book value per share, which is book value per share excluding total after-tax unrealized gains or losses on investments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), increased to $58.94 as of March 31, 2026, from $57.91 as of December 31, 2025.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $221 million in First Quarter 2026, compared to $284 million in First Quarter 2025, primarily driven by reduced underwriting results in our insurance operations. For more information on our underwriting results, refer to "Insurance Operations" above in this MD&A.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $166 million in First Quarter 2026, compared to $585 million in First Quarter 2025. First Quarter 2025 was elevated as a result of investing proceeds from our $400 million, 5.9% Senior Note issuance in February 2025. These proceeds also drove the $346.2 million in net cash provided by financing activities in First Quarter 2025, compared to net cash used in financing activities in First Quarter 2026 of $62.4 million.

Ratings

Our ratings remain the same as reported in our "Overview" section of Item 1. "Business." of our 2025 Annual Report and are as follows:

Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations Financial Strength Rating Outlook

AM Best Company A+ Stable

Moody's Investors Services A2 Stable

Fitch Ratings A+ Stable

Standard & Poor's Global Ratings A Stable

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes in the information about market risk set forth in our 2025 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this report. In performing this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework ("COSO Framework") in 2013. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of such period are (i) effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information on a timely basis that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, and (ii) effective in ensuring that information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is appropriately accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions about required disclosure. No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during First Quarter 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Incidental to our insurance operations, we are routinely engaged in legal proceedings with inherently unpredictable outcomes that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. For additional information regarding our legal risks, refer to Note 15. "Litigation" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and Item 1A. "Risk Factors." below in Part II. "Other Information." As of March 31, 2026, we have no material pending legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Certain risk factors can significantly impact our business, liquidity, capital resources, results of operations, financial condition, and debt ratings. These risk factors might affect, alter, or change our actions in executing our long-term capital strategy. Examples include, without limitation, contributing capital to any or all our ten Insurance Subsidiaries, issuing additional debt and/or equity securities, repurchasing our existing debt and/or equity securities, or increasing or decreasing common stockholders' dividends. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors that we cannot predict or assess may emerge at any time. Consequently, we can neither predict such new risk factors nor assess the potential future impact on our business. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. "Risk Factors." in our 2025 Annual Report.

Recent geopolitical developments could adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth.

Recent geopolitical developments, including military conflict in the Middle East, have contributed to increased volatility in global energy markets and international shipping activity. Though we only write business domestically in the United States, and our insurance operations do not have direct exposure to businesses or individuals in the Middle East, these developments have resulted in higher energy and transportation costs, supply‑chain delays, and volatility in global financial markets. Such conditions may adversely affect global economic activity and the market value of our investment portfolio and could increase our loss costs and reinsurance expense.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

The following table provides information regarding our purchases of our common stock in First Quarter 2026:

1Total number of shares purchased includes 53,674 shares purchased from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of their restricted stock units.

2For information on our publicly announced share repurchase program, refer to Note 17. "Equity" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2025 Annual Report.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no director or officer of the Company adopted, modified, or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) (a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement") or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
