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 we consider normal, recurring, and necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial condition. Our Financial Statements cover the second quarters ended June 30, 2026 ("Second Quarter 2026") and June 30, 2025 ("Second Quarter 2025"), and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 ("Six Months 2026") and June 30, 2025 ("Six Months 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 Six Months 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 (i) clarify that Topic 270 applies to entities that provide interim financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with GAAP, (ii) add a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures drawn from other FASB topics, and (iii) 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 June 30, 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 Six Months 2026 and Six Months 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 $99.1 million as of June 30, 2026, and $88.9 million as of December 31, 2025. We did not record any material write-offs of accrued interest in Six Months 2026 or Six Months 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods was primarily driven by active portfolio management resulting in higher after-tax portfolio yield 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 June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

For discussion regarding 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 June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

1Investments amounting to $296.3 million at June 30, 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 Six Months 2026 and Six Months 2025:

During Six Months 2026, we transferred securities with a fair value of $510.9 million from Level 3 to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. These investments were primarily corporate securities, CLOs and other ABS that were transferred on June 30, 2026 as we transitioned to a matrix-pricing methodology that provides sufficient observable inputs to support Level 2 classification and eliminates the prior need to rely on significant unobservable inputs in determining fair value.

The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of Level 3 assets at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 $27.2 million in Six Months 2026. We did not record any favorable or unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in Six Months 2026.

Prior year reserve development in Six Months 2025 was unfavorable by $34.6 million, consisting of $50.0 million of unfavorable casualty reserve development, partially offset by $15.4 million of favorable property reserve development. Our Standard Commercial Lines segment drove the unfavorable casualty reserve development consisting of (i) $25.0 million in our commercial automobile line of business, related to severities primarily in accident years 2022 through 2024 and (ii) $20.0 million in our general liability line of business, driven by higher severities primarily in accident years 2022 and 2023. We also had an unfavorable development of $5.0 million in our personal automobile line of business, primarily related to increased severities in accident year 2024.

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 Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 and Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 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 June 30, 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 due to an internal alignment, The Vanguard Group, Inc. will report beneficial interests on a disaggregated basis from its subsidiaries or business units. On April 29, 2026, Vanguard Portfolio Management filed a Schedule 13G reporting that it held 5.87% of the Parent’s common shares as of March 31, 2026. On April 30, 2026, Vanguard Capital Management filed a Schedule 13G reporting that it held 5.24% of the Parent’s common shares as of March 31, 2026. Both of these amounts are below the related party disclosure threshold.

NOTE 15. Litigation

As of June 30, 2026, we are not involved in any legal action that we believe 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 matters involve claims litigation handled by our ten insurance subsidiaries (collectively, the "Insurance Subsidiaries") in their capacities as: (i) liability insurers defending or indemnifying third-party claims brought against our customers; (ii) insurers responding to first-party coverage claims; or (iii) liability insurers seeking declaratory judgments regarding coverage obligations. We recognize these matters through 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, including some alleging large or indeterminate 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, including allegations related to medical provider reimbursement under workers compensation or automobile insurance policies, or reimbursement practices involving 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 certain matters involve large or indeterminate amounts. Adverse outcomes could materially affect our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the period in which they occur.

• 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. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Our 2025 Annual Report outlines the estimates and judgments most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: (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 could change as facts and circumstances develop. Different estimates or judgments could result in materially different reported 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 Second Quarter and Six Months 2026 and Second Quarter and Six Months 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 Second Quarter 2026, we delivered an ROE of 14.8% and a non-GAAP operating ROE of 13.7%, higher by 4.1 points and 3.4 points, respectively, compared to Second Quarter 2025. Improved underwriting results complemented strong after-tax investment income of $119 million. Our overall combined ratio of 98.0% for Second Quarter 2026 was 2.2 points better than 100.2% in Second Quarter 2025, primarily driven by (i) lower catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses and (ii) no prior year casualty reserve development in any segment or line of business in Second Quarter 2026, compared to 3.8 points of unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development a year ago. These items were partially offset by 3.4 points of higher current year casualty loss costs. All three insurance segments profitably contributed to the 2.3 points of ROE from insurance operations in Second Quarter 2026, which was up 2.5 points from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by improvement in our standard commercial lines segment.

On a year-to-date basis, our 13.0% ROE and 12.8% operating ROE were both higher than the 12.5% and 12.3%, respectively, generated in Six Months 2025. Stronger net investment income in Six Months 2026 drove the improvement.

Outlook

In Second Quarter 2026, we marked our eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit operating returns with an operating ROE of 13.7% and returned $58 million to common stockholders through regular dividends and opportunistic share repurchases, reinforcing our commitment to delivering long-term value. As Selective celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, we are proud of our history, the work our employees do, and the value we deliver our policyholders, distribution partners, and shareholders. 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, positioning us for premium growth with limited headcount additions.
• 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 over time:

• In our existing footprint, we are focused on growing with existing partners and strategically appointing new agency locations. During Six Months 2026, we added 100 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 Six Months 2026, these expansion states produced $242 million in premium, representing approximately 9% of total direct premiums written. We began writing business in Montana and Wyoming as of July 1, 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 6.0 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 $480 million, up from our initial guidance of $465 million;
• An overall effective tax rate of 21.5%; and
• Weighted average shares of 60.2 million on a fully diluted basis, reflecting the shares repurchased in Six Months 2026 and assuming no additional repurchases under our share repurchase authorization.

Results of Operations and Related Information by Segment

Insurance Operations

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

Lower NPW in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods reflect reduced new business in a competitive environment and deliberate actions to enhance underwriting profitability. Retention in our Standard Commercial Lines segment was down two points in both Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026, reflecting our granular pricing actions to drive lower retention on underperforming business. While enhancing underwriting profitability is a primary focus, we are also executing on strategies to support future growth opportunities, including expanding our geographic footprint and broadening our E&S distribution capabilities with retail access.

Growth in NPE of 2% in Second Quarter 2026 and 4% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods is decelerating as the impact of lower NPW is materializing through the earnings process.

Loss and Loss Expenses

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

The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 2.1 points in Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025, driven by (i) lower net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses reflecting less severe wind and convective storms impacting our footprint and (ii) no prior year casualty reserve development in Second Quarter 2026, compared to 3.8 points of unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in the year-ago quarter. These items were partially offset by higher current year casualty loss costs.

In Six Months 2026, the loss and loss expense ratio increased 0.2 points compared to Six Months 2025, with higher current year loss costs and catastrophe losses predominantly offset by improvements in prior year casualty reserve development and non-catastrophe property losses.

There was no prior year casualty reserve development in any segment or line of business in Second Quarter 2026 or Six Months 2026. The unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 2025 was primarily driven by (i) our commercial automobile line of business that experienced increased severities in accident years 2022 through 2024 and (ii) our general liability line of business that experienced increased severities in accident years 2022 and 2023.

Current year casualty loss costs were higher in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, driven by elevated commercial automobile claim frequencies in the first half of the year and the increased loss trend assumptions that we recognized over the course of 2025 that are included in our expectations for 2026.

Standard Commercial Lines Segment

Lower NPW in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 2025 reflected reduced new business and targeted actions on our renewal portfolio. Stronger new business pricing, informed by our view of expected loss trends, combined with a competitive environment, drove lower acquisition rates on new business. We are leveraging our granular insights and differentiated operating model to drive higher renewal retention on our best-performing business and meaningfully lower retention on our poorer-performing business through appropriate rating actions. While overall rate increases have moderated and retention is lower than the prior-year period, we expect these mix improvement actions to contribute to improved profitability.

Growth in NPE of 3% in Second Quarter 2026 and 4% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods is decelerating as the impact of lower NPW is materializing through the earnings process.

Loss and Loss Expenses

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

The loss and loss expense ratio decreased 3.3 points in Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025, primarily due to (i) no net prior year casualty reserve development in the current year quarter compared to 4.8-points of unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in the year-ago quarter and (ii) lower non-catastrophe property losses, reflecting less severe wind and convective storms impacting our footprint in Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025. These items were partially offset by higher current year casualty loss costs.

In Six Months 2026, the loss and loss expense ratio increased 0.3 points compared to Six Months 2025, with higher current year loss costs and catastrophe losses, predominantly offset by improvements in prior year casualty reserve development and non-catastrophe losses. The increase in catastrophe losses was driven by higher frequency and severity of winter storms and thunderstorm events that impacted our footprint this year compared to last, mainly in the first quarter of 2026.

The details of the prior year casualty reserve development by line of business were as follows:

Prior year casualty reserve development in Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 2025 reflected (i) increased severities in accident years 2022 through 2024 in our commercial automobile line of business, and (ii) increased severities in accident years 2022 and 2023 in our general liability line of business.

Higher current year casualty loss costs in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 reflected the increased loss trend assumptions we recognized throughout 2025 and 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, as well as elevated commercial automobile claim frequencies in the first half of 2026, drove the increase in current year casualty loss costs. Lower workers compensation loss trends provided a partial offset from decreasing claim frequencies in our 2026 expectations.

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

1n/a: not applicable.

NPW was down in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, 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.

Growth in NPE of 4% in Second Quarter 2026 and 6 % in Six Months 2026 is decelerating as the impact of lower NPW in 2026 is materializing through the earnings process.

The combined ratio decreased 4.0 points in Second Quarter 2026 and 1.0 in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, 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. The increased loss trend assumptions that we recognized over the course of 2025 that are included in our expectations for 2026, drove a 2.6-point increase in current year casualty loss costs in Second Quarter 2026 and a 2.3-point increase in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods.

We did not record any prior year casualty reserve development in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026. We recorded $20.0 million of unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 2025, which was driven by increased severities in accident years 2022 and 2023.

1n/a: not applicable.

NPW decreased 7% in Second Quarter 2026 and 5% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, 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.

Growth in NPE of 1% in Second Quarter 2026 and 3% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods is decelerating as the impact of lower NPW in 2026 is materializing through the earnings process.

The combined ratio decreased 1.1 points in Second Quarter 2026 and 0.1 points in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, and included the following:

We did not record any prior year casualty reserve development in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026, compared to $25.0 million recorded in Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 2025. Current year casualty loss costs were higher in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, driven by elevated claim frequencies in the first half of the year and the increased loss trend assumptions we recognized throughout 2025 that are included in our expectations for 2026.

In the aggregate, net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses were 1.5-points lower in Second Quarter 2026 and 1.9- points lower in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, and provided a partial offset to the increase in current year loss costs. This reduction was driven by (i) the earned impact of renewal pure price increases and (ii) period-to-period variability of catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses.

2n/a: not applicable.

NPW decreased 4% in Second Quarter 2026 and 2% Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, reflecting lower new business and deliberate actions to strengthen underwriting profitability.

Growth in NPE of 4% in Second Quarter 2026 and 6% in Six Months 2026 continued to reflect the impact of NPW growth through the first quarter of 2026, but is pressured by the impact of lower NPW this quarter.

The combined ratio decreased 6.3 points in Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025, and increased 3.1 points in Six Months 2026 compared to Six Months 2025, and included the following:

In the aggregate, net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses were lower in Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025, but were higher in Six Months 2026 compared to Six Months 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, mainly in the first quarter of 2026.

1n/a: not applicable.

NPW decreased 8% in Second Quarter 2026 and 6% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, primarily due to negative rate changes. These rate level reductions were driven by continued decreases in workers compensation rating bureau loss costs, which form the basis for our filed rating plans, and heavily influence marketplace pricing for this line of business. Additionally, retention is down compared to the same prior-year periods, resulting from underwriting actions taken to improve profitability.

The combined ratio decreased 7.0 points in Second Quarter 2026 and 5.8 points in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods and included the following:

Lower current year casualty loss costs in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods were primarily driven by decreased claim frequencies leading to improved loss trends. In addition, the combined ratio benefited from a 2.1-point reduction in underwriting expenses in Second Quarter 2026 and a 1.8-point reduction in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, which was primarily driven by lower commissions on this line of business.

Standard Personal Lines Segment

Lower NPW and NPE in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods was driven by reductions in direct new business and lower renewal pure price increases. New business decreased 36% in Second Quarter 2026 and 27% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, driven by (i) market conditions, including an increasingly competitive market for auto insurance and (ii) restrictions we have in place to manage overall growth in the State of New Jersey. We have received regulatory approvals for increased rate levels in most of our footprint states and are focused on growth in our target market segment where we believe our rates are adequate. In Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 we achieved renewal pure price increases of 8.9% and 9.6%, respectively. Additionally, we continue to focus our efforts on our target mass affluent market, with 98% of new business through Six Months 2026 being in our target market.

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

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

Loss and Loss Expenses

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

The loss and loss expense ratio increased 2.4 points in Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025, primarily driven by higher non-catastrophe losses due to normal period-to-period variability of such losses. Non-catastrophe losses were partially offset by net catastrophe losses that were lower in Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025 due to lower frequency and severity of weather-related catastrophe events this year compared to last year.

The 1.3-point decrease in the loss and loss expense ratio in Six Months 2026 compared to Six Months 2025 was driven primarily by the absence of prior year casualty reserve development as illustrated in the table below:

The $5.0 million of unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in Six Months 2025 was primarily driven by increased severities in accident year 2024 related to the New Jersey portfolio.

Underwriting Expenses

Our underwriting expense ratio increased 1.5 points and 0.5 points in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, as lower NPE has put pressure on our underwriting expense ratio.

E&S Lines Segment

Increased competition in the marketplace and our continued underwriting discipline contributed to a decline in NPW of 2% in Second Quarter 2026 and 1% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods. This NPW decline was primarily due to more capacity entering the excess and surplus lines marketplace and the admitted markets' expansion in appetite for business previously written by excess and surplus lines companies. NPW includes the impact of the following:

Despite the decline in NPW during 2026, NPE grew 5% in Second Quarter 2026 and 6% in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, 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 2.1 points in Second Quarter 2026 and decreased 0.2 points in Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods. In both Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026, the loss and loss expense ratio was increased by (i) higher current year casualty loss costs, primarily driven by higher embedded severity assumptions due to social inflation and (ii) higher non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses, reflecting normal period-to-period variability associated with property losses. Net catastrophe losses provided an offset to these items in both periods, with Six Months 2026 having a larger offset as the California Palisades Fire impacted the first quarter of 2025.

Reinsurance

We successfully completed negotiations of our July 1, 2026 excess of loss treaties that cover Standard Commercial Lines, Standard Personal Lines, and E&S Lines.

We renewed the Casualty Excess of Loss Treaty ("Casualty Treaty") with coverage for $87 million in excess of a $3 million retention per loss occurrence, which is the same as the expiring treaty. We continue to retain a portion of the first layer through an 8% co-participation, compared to a 20% co-participation in the expiring treaty. The 2026 treaty year deposit premium increased primarily due to increased premium rates and lower co-participation in the first layer.

We also renewed the Property Excess of Loss Treaty ("Property Treaty") with the same retention as the expiring treaty, but with a $20 million increase in limit. The treaty now provides coverage for $115 million in excess of a $5 million retention for losses on a per-risk basis. The treaty year deposit premium decreased modestly, primarily driven by a reduction in rates.

The following table summarizes the Casualty Treaty and Property Treaty arrangements covering our Insurance Subsidiaries:

Treaty Name Reinsurance Coverage Terrorism Coverage

Casualty Treaty (covers all insurance operations) There are six layers covering $87 million in excess of $3 million. Losses other than terrorism losses are subject to the following: - 92% of $3 million in excess of $3 million layer provides 81 reinstatements, $246 million annual aggregate limit; - 100% of $6 million in excess of $6 million layer provides 15 reinstatements, $96 million annual aggregate limit; - 100% of $9 million in excess of $12 million layer provides three reinstatements, $36 million annual aggregate limit; - 100% of $9 million in excess of $21 million layer provides one reinstatement, $18 million annual aggregate limit; - 100% of $20 million in excess of $30 million layer provides one reinstatement, $40 million annual aggregate limit; and - 100% of $40 million in excess of $50 million layer provides one reinstatement, $80 million annual aggregate limit. x.x All NBCR losses are excluded. All other losses stemming from the acts of terrorism are subject to the following: - 92% of $3 million in excess of $3 million layer with $15 million net annual terrorism aggregate limit; - 100% of $6 million in excess of $6 million layer with $30 million net annual terrorism aggregate limit; - 100% of $9 million in excess of $12 million layer with $27 million net annual terrorism aggregate limit; - 100% of $9 million in excess of $21 million layer with $18 million net annual terrorism aggregate limit; - 100% of $20 million in excess of $30 million layer with $40 million net annual terrorism aggregate limit; and - 100% of $40 million in excess of $50 million layer with $80 million net annual terrorism aggregate limit.

Property Treaty (covers all insurance operations) There are three layers covering 100% of $115 million in excess of $5 million. Losses other than Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act ("TRIPRA") certified losses are subject to the following reinstatements and annual aggregate limits: - $5 million in excess of $5 million layer provides 15 reinstatements, $80 million in aggregate limits; - $30 million in excess of $10 million layer provides four reinstatements, $150 million in aggregate limits; and - $80 million in excess of $40 million layer provides one reinstatement, $160 million in aggregate limits. All nuclear, biological, chemical, and radioactive ("NBCR") losses are excluded regardless of whether or not they are certified under the TRIPRA. For non-NBCR losses, the treaty distinguishes between acts committed on behalf of foreign persons or foreign interests ("Foreign Terrorism") and those that are not. The treaty provides annual aggregate limits for Foreign Terrorism (other than NBCR) acts of $15 million for the first layer, $60 million for the second layer, and $80 million for the third layer. Non-Foreign Terrorism losses (other than NBCR) are covered to the same extent as non-terrorism losses.

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 June 30, 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.

Our fixed income and short-term investments represented 91% of invested assets at June 30, 2026, and 92% at December 31, 2025. Our fixed income and short-term investments portfolio had a weighted average credit rating of "A+" and investment grade holdings represented 97% of the total fixed income and short-term investment portfolio on both dates.

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 $274.4 million at June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting our active investment of operating cash flows, which were 18% of NPW in Six Months 2026, partially offset by a $94.5 million increase in pre-tax net unrealized losses in our fixed income portfolio primarily due to higher interest rates at June 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income earned components were as follows:

After-tax net investment income earned increased 18% in both Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026 compared to the same prior-year periods, primarily driven by (i) active portfolio management resulting in higher after-tax portfolio yield and (ii) 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:

The change in net realized and unrealized investment gains in Second Quarter 2026 and Six Months 2026, compared to the same prior-year periods, was primarily due to an increase in valuations reflecting the current public equities market. The increase in unrealized gains on equity securities in Six Months 2026, compared to Six Months 2025, was partially offset by an increase in net credit loss expense on fixed income investments, primarily driven by higher interest rates in Six Months 2026 compared to Six Months 2025. The higher interest rates increased unrealized losses on our fixed income investments, 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 $140 million in total dividends to the Parent in Six Months 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. In Second Quarter 2026, we executed a $1.0 million overnight borrowing on the Line of Credit as a periodic validation of processes for accessing capital and liquidity resources. No additional borrowings were made under the Line of Credit in Six Months 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 June 30, 2026, we had remaining capacity of $690.5 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 material short-term borrowings from FHLB branches during Six Months 2026; however in Second Quarter 2026, we executed an insignificant overnight borrowing from FHLBNY as a periodic validation of processes for accessing capital and liquidity resources.

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 June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The remaining capacity under these intercompany loan agreements was $198.0 million as of both June 30, 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 Six Months 2026.

During Six Months 2026, we repurchased 713,434 shares of our common stock under our existing share repurchase program for $61.9 million, excluding commissions paid and estimated excise tax. We had $108.1 million of remaining capacity under our share repurchase program as of June 30, 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 September 1, 2026, to holders of record as of August 17, 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 September 15, 2026, to holders of record as of August 31, 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 June 30, 2026, we had GAAP stockholders' equity and statutory surplus of $3.7 billion. With total debt of $901 million at June 30, 2026, our debt-to-capital ratio was 19.7%. 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 increased to $58.13 as of June 30, 2026, from $56.74 as of December 31, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to $3.69 of net income per diluted common share, partially offset by a $1.25 increase in after-tax net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities portfolio and $0.86 in common stockholder dividends. 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. 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 $60.56 as of June 30, 2026, from $57.91 as of December 31, 2025.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities of $450 million in Six Months 2026 remained relatively flat compared to $451 million in Six Months 2025.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $338 million in Six Months 2026, compared to $799 million in Six Months 2025. Six Months 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 $324 million in net cash provided by financing activities in Six Months 2025, compared to net cash used in financing activities in Six Months 2026 of $119 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 ("Fitch") A+ Stable

Standard & Poor's Global Ratings A Stable

On April 29, 2026, Fitch reaffirmed our "A+" rating with a "stable" outlook. In taking this rating action, Fitch cited our (i) business profile as having favorable competitive positioning within our core standard lines businesses, driven by strong independent agency relationships and (ii) strong capital position.
