Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our Personal Lines segment writes insurance for personal auto and special lines products (e.g., motorcycles, RVs, watercraft, and snowmobiles). Our Commercial Lines segment writes auto-related liability and physical damage insurance, business-related general liability and property insurance predominately for small businesses, and workers’ compensation insurance primarily for the transportation industry. Our Property segment writes residential property insurance for homeowners, other
property owners, and renters, and umbrella insurance. Our service businesses provide insurance-related services, including serving as an agent for homeowners, general liability, and workers’ compensation insurance, among other products, through programs in our direct Personal Lines and Commercial Lines businesses. All segment revenues are generated from external customers; all intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

1 Personal auto insurance accounted for 95% of the total Personal Lines segment net premiums earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 94% for the same periods in 2023; insurance for our special lines products accounted for the balance of the Personal Lines net premiums earned.
2 Includes other underwriting business and run-off operations.
3 Pretax profit (loss) for fees and other revenues is allocated to operating segments based on revenue.
4 Revenues represent recurring investment income and total net realized gains (losses) on securities; pretax profit (loss) is net of investment expenses.
Our management uses underwriting margin and combined ratio as primary measures of underwriting profitability. The underwriting margin is the pretax underwriting profit (loss) expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned (i.e., revenues from underwriting operations). Pretax underwriting profit (loss) is calculated as net premiums earned plus fees and other revenues, less: (i) losses and loss adjustment expenses; (ii) policy acquisition costs; and (iii) other underwriting expenses. Combined ratio is the complement of the underwriting margin. Following are the underwriting margins and combined ratios for our underwriting operations for the respective periods:
