Accident year combined ratio (as adjusted) 88.3%, in line with the prior year quarter, reflecting consistent underwriting performance.
Calendar year combined ratio 86.8%, an improvement of 580 basis points from the prior year quarter, driven by favorable prior year development and lower catastrophe losses.
North America Commercial Insurance net premiums written Flat year-over-year, but would have increased 3% adjusting for a prior year casualty portfolio closeout transaction. Growth driven by Programs (+27%), Western World (+11%), and Excess Casualty (+8%), partially offset by declines in Retail Property (-10%) and Lexington Property (-8%).
International Commercial Insurance net premiums written Increased 1% year-over-year, driven by Marine (+11%) and Property (+6%), partially offset by Financial Lines (-6%).
Global Personal net premiums written Decreased 4% year-over-year, driven by the high net worth quota share reinsurance treaty entered into at the beginning of 2025, which improved profitability but reduced net premiums written.
