Rating Downgrade: AM Best has downgraded the Financial Strength Rating of Oregon Mutual Insurance Company and Western Protectors Insurance Company to C++ (Marginal) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings to "b+" (Marginal), with a stable outlook for the FSR and a negative outlook for the Long-Term ICRs.
Financial Performance Issues: The downgrade reflects a weak balance sheet and marginal operating performance, attributed to a significant surplus decline due to adverse loss reserve developments and volatile underwriting results, particularly in California's challenging regulatory environment.
