FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.
Hartford, Connecticut
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and changes in stockholders' equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 19, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. is a holding company for insurance and financial services subsidiaries that provide property and casualty insurance, group life and disability products and mutual funds and exchange-traded products to individual and business customers in the United States as well as in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and other international locations (collectively, “The Hartford”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”).
On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity of Navigators Holdings (Europe) N.V., a Belgium holding company, and its subsidiaries, Bracht, Deckers & Mackelbert N.V. (“BDM”) and Assurances Contintales Contintale Verzekeringen N.V. (“ASCO”), (collectively referred to as "Continental Europe Operations"). For further discussion of this transaction see Note 16 - Business Disposition.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are unaudited. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (generally consisting only of normal accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The
Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
CONSOLIDATION
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., and entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. Entities in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financing decisions but does not control are reported using the equity method. Intercompany transactions and balances between The Hartford and its subsidiaries and affiliates have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant estimates include those used in determining property and casualty and group long-term disability insurance product reserves, net of reinsurance; evaluation of goodwill for impairment; valuation of investments and derivative instruments; and contingencies relating to corporate litigation and regulatory matters.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. Our fair value framework includes a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to the use of quoted prices in active markets, followed by the use of market observable inputs, followed by the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:
Level 1 Fair values based primarily on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities, in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Fair values primarily based on observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, or based on prices for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 Fair values derived when one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). With little or no observable market, the determination of fair values uses considerable judgment and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability. Also included are securities that are traded within illiquid markets and/or priced by independent brokers.
The Company will classify the financial asset or liability by level based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. In most cases, both observable inputs (e.g., changes in interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in risk assumptions) are used to determine fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.

FIXED MATURITIES, EQUITY SECURITIES, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS, AND DERIVATIVES
Valuation Techniques
The Company generally determines fair values using valuation techniques that use prices, rates, and other relevant information evident from market transactions involving identical or similar instruments. Valuation techniques also include, where appropriate, estimates of future cash flows that are converted into a single discounted amount using current market expectations. The Company uses a "waterfall" approach comprised of the following pricing sources and techniques, which are listed in priority order:
•Quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are classified as Level 1.
•Prices from third-party pricing services, which primarily utilize a combination of techniques. These services utilize recently reported trades of identical, similar, or benchmark securities making adjustments for market observable inputs available through the reporting date. If there are no recently reported trades, they may use a discounted cash flow technique to develop a price using expected cash flows based upon the anticipated future performance of the underlying collateral discounted at an estimated market rate. Both techniques develop prices that consider the time value of future cash flows and provide a margin for risk, including liquidity and credit risk. Most prices provided by third-party pricing services are classified as Level 2 because the inputs used in pricing the securities are observable. However, some securities that are less liquid or trade less actively are classified as Level 3. Additionally, certain long-dated securities, such as municipal securities and bank loans, include benchmark interest rate or credit spread assumptions that are not observable in the marketplace and are thus classified as Level 3.

Table of Contents |  | Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
•Internal matrix pricing, which is a valuation process internally developed for private placement securities for which the Company is unable to obtain a price from a third-party pricing service. Internal pricing matrices determine credit spreads that, when combined with risk-free rates, are applied to contractual cash flows to develop a price. The Company develops credit spreads using market based data for public securities adjusted for credit spread differentials between public and private securities, which are obtained from a survey of multiple private placement brokers. The market-based reference credit spread considers the issuer’s financial strength and term to maturity, using an independent public security index, while the credit spread differential considers the non-public nature of the security. Securities priced using internal matrix pricing are classified as Level 2 because the significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated with observable data.
•Independent broker quotes, which are typically non-binding, use inputs that can be difficult to corroborate with observable market based data. Brokers may use present value techniques using assumptions specific to the security types, or they may use recent transactions of similar securities. Due to the lack of transparency in the process that brokers use to develop prices, valuations that are based on independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3.
The fair value of derivative instruments is determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model or option model technique and incorporates counterparty credit risk. In some cases, quoted market prices for exchange-traded and over-the-counter ("OTC") cleared derivatives may be used and in other cases independent broker quotes may be used. The pricing valuation models primarily use inputs that are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data. The valuation of certain derivatives may include significant inputs that are unobservable, such as volatility levels, and reflect the Company’s view of what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments.
Valuation Controls
The process for determining the fair value of investments is monitored by the Valuation Committee, which is a cross-functional group of senior management within the Company. The purpose of the Valuation Committee is to provide oversight of the pricing policy, procedures and controls, including approval of valuation methodologies and pricing sources. The Valuation Committee reviews market data trends, pricing statistics and trading statistics to ensure that prices are reasonable and consistent with our fair value framework. Controls and procedures used to assess third-party pricing services are reviewed by the Valuation Committee, including the results of annual due-diligence reviews. Controls include, but are not limited to, reviewing daily and monthly price changes, stale prices, and missing prices and comparing new trade prices to third-party pricing services, weekly price changes to published bond prices of a corporate bond index, and daily OTC derivative market valuations to counterparty valuations. The Company has a dedicated pricing unit that works with trading and investment professionals to challenge the price received by a third party pricing source if the Company believes that the valuation received does not accurately reflect the fair value. New valuation models and changes to current models require approval by the Valuation Committee. In addition, the Company’s enterprise-wide Operational Risk Management function provides an independent review of the suitability and reliability of model inputs, as well as an analysis of significant changes to current models.
Valuation Inputs
Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets are considered Level 1 and consist of on-the-run U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, exchange-traded equity securities, open-ended mutual funds, certain short-term investments, and exchange traded futures and option contracts.

[5]Decrease for above market rate coupons and increase for below market rate coupons.
[6]Generally, a change in the assumption used for the constant default rate would have been accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for constant prepayment rate and would have resulted in wider spreads.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair values of the Company's level 3 derivatives were less than $1 for both periods.
The table above excludes certain securities for which fair values are predominately based on independent broker quotes. While the Company does not have access to the significant unobservable inputs that independent brokers may use in their pricing process, the Company believes brokers likely use inputs similar to those used by the Company and third-party pricing services to price similar instruments. As such, in their pricing models, brokers likely use estimated loss severity rates, prepayment rates, constant default rates and credit spreads. Therefore, similar to non-broker priced securities, increases in these inputs would generally cause fair values to decrease. As of June 30, 2021, no significant adjustments were made by the Company to broker prices received.
LEVEL 3 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS USING SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instrument may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated asset or liability. Therefore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives reported in the Level 3 rollforward may be offset by realized and unrealized gains and losses of the associated assets and liabilities in other line items of the financial statements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, includes gains (losses) from transactional foreign currency revaluation of $0 and $10, respectively. For the same periods, also includes gains (losses) on non-qualifying derivatives of $7 and $99, respectively.
Proceeds from the sales of fixed maturities, AFS totaled $4.0 billion and $8.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 respectively, and $4.1 billion and $7.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Accrued Interest Receivable on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Mortgage Loans
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company reported accrued interest receivable related to fixed maturities, AFS of $323 and $327, respectively, and accrued interest receivable related to mortgage loans of $15 and $14, respectively. These amounts are recorded in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not included in the carrying value of the fixed maturities or mortgage loans. The Company does not include the current accrued interest receivable balance when estimating the ACL. The Company has a policy to write-off accrued interest receivable balances that are more than 90 days past due. Write-offs of accrued interest receivable are recorded as a credit loss component of net realized capital gains and losses.
Interest income on fixed maturities and mortgage loans is accrued unless it is past due over 90 days or management deems the interest uncollectible.
Recognition and Presentation of Intent-to-Sell Impairments and ACL on Fixed Maturities, AFS
The Company will record an "intent-to-sell impairment" as a reduction to the amortized cost of fixed maturities, AFS in an unrealized loss position if the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity before a recovery in value. A corresponding charge is recorded in net realized capital losses equal to the difference between the fair value on the impairment date and
the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity before recognizing the impairment.
When fixed maturities are in an unrealized loss position and the Company does not record an intent-to-sell impairment, the Company will record an ACL for the portion of the unrealized loss due to a credit loss. Any remaining unrealized loss on a fixed maturity after recording an ACL is the non-credit amount and is recorded in OCI. The ACL is the excess of the amortized cost over the greater of the Company's best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows or the security's fair value. Cash flows are discounted at the effective yield that is used to record interest income. The ACL cannot exceed the unrealized loss and, therefore, it may fluctuate with changes in the fair value of the fixed maturity if the fair value is greater than the Company's best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows. The initial ACL and any subsequent changes are recorded in net realized capital gains and losses. The ACL is written off against the amortized cost in the period in which all or a portion of the related fixed maturity is determined to be uncollectible.
Developing the Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with certain internal assumptions regarding the future performance. The Company's considerations include, but are not limited to, (a) changes in the financial condition of the issuer and/or the underlying collateral, (b) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (c) credit ratings, (d) payment structure of the security and (e) the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security.
For non-structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to, economic and industry-specific trends and fundamentals, instrument-specific developments including changes in credit ratings, industry earnings multiples and the

issuer’s ability to restructure, access capital markets, and execute asset sales.
For structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to, various performance indicators such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current and projected delinquency rates, loan-to-value ratios ("LTVs"),
average cumulative collateral loss rates that vary by vintage year, prepayment speeds, and property value declines. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value.

Estimated maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment provisions. Due to the potential for variability in payment speeds (i.e. prepayments or extensions), mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are not categorized by contractual maturity.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company aims to maintain a diversified investment portfolio including issuer, sector and geographic stratification, where
applicable, and has established certain exposure limits, diversification standards and review procedures to mitigate credit risk. The Company had no investment exposure to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer greater than 10% of the Company's stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020 other than U.S. government securities and certain U.S. government agencies.

As of June 30, 2021, fixed maturities, AFS in an unrealized loss position consisted of 787 instruments, primarily in the corporate sectors, most notably financial services, technology and communications, capital goods, and utilities, as well as CMBS and RMBS which were depressed largely due to higher interest rates and/or wider credit spreads since the purchase date. As of June 30, 2021, 96% of these fixed maturities were depressed less than 20% of cost or amortized cost. The unrealized losses remained relatively flat compared to December 31, 2020.
Most of the fixed maturities depressed for twelve months or more relate to the corporate and CMBS sectors which were primarily depressed because current market spreads are wider than at the respective purchase dates. Additionally, certain corporate fixed maturities were also depressed because of their variable-rate coupons and long-dated maturities. The Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the fixed maturities outlined in the preceding discussion. The decision to record credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS in the form of an ACL requires us to make qualitative and quantitative estimates of expected future cash flows. Given the uncertainty about the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on issuers of these securities, actual cash flows could ultimately deviate significantly from our expectations resulting in realized losses in future periods.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MORTGAGE LOANS
ACL on Mortgage Loans
The Company reviews mortgage loans on a quarterly basis to estimate the ACL with changes in the ACL recorded in net realized capital gains and losses. Apart from an ACL recorded on individual mortgage loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company records an ACL on the pool of mortgage loans based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Company utilizes a third-party forecasting model to estimate lifetime expected credit losses at a loan level under multiple economic scenarios. The scenarios use macroeconomic data provided by an internationally recognized economics firm that generates forecasts of varying economic factors such as GDP growth, unemployment and interest rates. The economic scenarios are projected over 10 years. The first two to four years of the 10-year period assume a specific modeled economic scenario (including moderate upside, moderate recession and severe recession scenarios) and then revert to historical long-term assumptions over the remaining period. Using these economic scenarios, the forecasting model projects property-specific operating income and capitalization rates used to estimate the value of a future operating income stream. The operating income and the property valuations derived from capitalization rates are compared to loan payment and principal amounts to create debt service coverage ratios ("DSCRs") and loan-to-value ratios ("LTVs") over the forecast period. The model overlays historical data about mortgage loan performance based on DSCRs and LTVs and projects the probability of default, amount of loss given a default and resulting expected loss through maturity for each loan under each economic scenario. Economic scenarios are probability-weighted based on a statistical analysis of the forecasted economic factors and qualitative analysis. The Company records the change in the ACL on mortgage loans based on the weighted-average expected credit losses across the selected economic scenarios.
When a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, including when foreclosure is probable, the Company measures an ACL on individual mortgage loans. The ACL is established for any shortfall between the amortized cost of the loan and the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. Estimates of collectibility from an individual borrower require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability and timing of borrower default and loss severity estimates. In addition, cash flow projections may change based upon new information about the borrower's ability to pay and/or the value of underlying collateral such as changes in projected property value estimates. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any mortgage loans for which an ACL was established on an individual basis.
There were no mortgage loans held-for-sale as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company had no mortgage loans that have had extensions or restructurings other than what is allowable under the original terms of the contract.

For further information, see the Financial Instruments - Credit Losses section within Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, included in The Hartford's 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
During 2020, the Company increased the estimate of the ACL in response to significant economic stress experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in the allowance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, is the result of improved economic scenarios, including improved GDP growth and unemployment, and higher property valuations as compared to the prior periods. We continue to monitor the impact on our mortgage loan portfolio from borrower behavior in response to the economic stress. Borrowers with lower LTVs have an incentive to continue to make payments of principal and/or interest in order to preserve the equity they have in the underlying commercial real estate properties.
The weighted-average LTV ratio of the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio was 54% as of June 30, 2021, while the weighted-average LTV ratio at origination of these loans was 60%. LTV ratios compare the loan amount to the value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan with property values based on appraisals updated no less than annually. Factors considered in estimating property values include, among other things, actual and expected property cash flows, geographic market data and the ratio of the property's net operating income to its value. DSCR compares a property’s net operating income to the borrower’s principal and interest payments and are updated no less than annually through reviews of underlying properties.

Past-Due Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans are considered past due if a payment of principal or interest is not received according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, which typically includes a grace period. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held no mortgage loans considered past due.
Mortgage Servicing
The Company originates, sells and services commercial mortgage loans on behalf of third parties and recognizes servicing fee income over the period that services are performed. As of June 30, 2021, under this program, the Company serviced mortgage loans with a total outstanding principal of $7.5 billion, of which $3.8 billion was serviced on behalf of third parties and $3.7 billion was retained and reported in total investments on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the Company serviced mortgage loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $6.9 billion, of which $3.7 billion was serviced on behalf of third parties and $3.2 billion was retained and reported in total investments on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and were $0 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, because servicing fees were market-level fees at origination and remain adequate to compensate the Company for servicing the loans.
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company is engaged with various special purpose entities and other entities that are deemed to be VIEs primarily as an investor through normal investment activities but also as an investment manager.
A VIE is an entity that either has investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as simple majority kick-out rights, or lacks sufficient funds to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIEs to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Based on the Company’s assessment, if it determines it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consolidated VIEs
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not hold any securities for which it is the primary beneficiary.
Non-Consolidated VIEs
The Company, through normal investment activities, makes passive investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments. For these non-consolidated VIEs, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was limited to the total carrying value of $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, which are included in limited partnerships and other alternative investments in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling $1.0 billion and $768, respectively, whereby the Company is committed to fund these investments and may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. These investments are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in management. For further discussion of these investments, see Equity Method Investments within Note 6 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
In addition, the Company makes passive investments in structured securities issued by VIEs for which the Company is not the manager. These investments are included in ABS, CLOs, CMBS, and RMBS and are reported in fixed maturities, available-for-sale. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its original investment. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the relative size of the Company’s investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIEs, the level of credit subordination which reduces the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits and the Company’s inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of the Company’s investment.
SECURITIES LENDING, REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS, OTHER COLLATERAL TRANSACTIONS AND RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS
Securities Lending
Under a securities lending program, the Company lends certain fixed maturities within the corporate, foreign government/government agencies, and municipal sectors as well as equity securities to qualifying third-party borrowers in return for collateral in the form of cash or securities. For domestic and non-domestic loaned securities, respectively, borrowers provide
collateral of 102% and 105% of the fair value of the securities lent at the time of the loan. Borrowers will return the securities to the Company for cash or securities collateral at maturity dates generally of 90 days or less. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection with securities lending transactions may not be sold or re-pledged, except in the event of default by the counterparty, and is not reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional collateral is obtained if the fair value of the collateral falls below 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities. The agreements are continuous and do not have stated maturity dates and provide the counterparty the right to sell or re-pledge the securities loaned. If cash, rather than securities, is received as collateral, the cash is typically invested in short-term investments or fixed maturities and is reported as an asset on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income associated with securities lending transactions is reported as a component of net investment income in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. While the Company did have securities on loan as part of a securities lending program during 2020, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any securities on loan as part of a securities lending program.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
From time to time, the Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements where the Company purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same or substantially the same securities. The maturity of these transactions is generally within one year. The agreements require additional collateral to be transferred to the Company under specified conditions and the Company has the right to sell or re-pledge the securities received. The Company accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company reported $18 and $30, respectively, within short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets representing a receivable for the amount of cash transferred to purchase the securities.
Other Collateral Transactions
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company pledged collateral of $9 and $34, respectively, of U.S. government securities or cash primarily related to certain bank loan participations committed to through a limited partnership agreement. Amounts also include collateral related to letters of credit.
For disclosure of collateral in support of derivative transactions, refer to the Derivative Collateral Arrangements section in Note 6 - Derivatives of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Restricted Investments
The Company is required by law to deposit securities with government agencies in certain states in which it conducts business. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of securities on deposit was $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively.
In addition, as of June 30, 2021, the Company held fixed maturities and short-term investments of $685 and $2, respectively, in trust for the benefit of syndicate policyholders, held fixed maturities of $172 in a Lloyd's of London ("Lloyd's") trust account to provide a portion of the required capital, and

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
maintained other investments of $57 primarily consisting of overseas deposits in various countries with Lloyd's to support underwriting activities in those countries. As of December 31, 2020, the Company held fixed maturities and short-term investments of $661 and $26, respectively, in trust for the benefit of syndicate policyholders, held fixed maturities of $175 in a Lloyd's trust account to provide a portion of the required capital, and maintained other investments of $54 primarily consisting of overseas deposits in various countries with Lloyd's to support underwriting activities in those countries. Lloyd's is an insurance market-place operating worldwide. Lloyd's does not underwrite risks. The Company accepts risks as the sole member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate").
Equity Method Investments
On June 30, 2021, Hopmeadow Holdings LP, the legal entity that acquired Talcott Resolution in May 2018 (collectively referred to as "Talcott Resolution"), was sold and, as a result, the Company sold its retained 9.7% interest. The Company received a total $217 in connection with the sale of its 9.7% ownership interest, resulting in a realized gain on sale of $46 before tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
6. DERIVATIVES
The Company utilizes a variety of OTC, OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivative instruments as a part of its overall risk management strategy as well as to enter into replication transactions or income generation covered call transactions. Derivative instruments are used to manage risk associated with interest rate, equity market, credit spread, issuer default, price, and currency exchange rate or volatility. Replication transactions are used as an economical means to synthetically replicate the characteristics and performance of assets that are permissible investments under the Company’s investment policies.
STRATEGIES THAT QUALIFY FOR HEDGE ACCOUNTING
Some of the Company's derivatives satisfy hedge accounting requirements as outlined in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in The Hartford’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report. Typically, these hedging instruments include interest rate swaps and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency swaps where the terms or expected cash flows of the hedged item closely match the terms of the swap. The interest rate swaps are typically used to manage interest rate duration of certain fixed maturity securities or debt instruments issued.
Cash Flow Hedges
Interest rate swaps are predominantly used to manage portfolio duration and better match cash receipts from assets with cash disbursements required to fund liabilities. These derivatives primarily convert interest receipts on variable-rate fixed maturity securities to fixed rates. The Company has also entered into interest rate swaps to convert the variable interest payments on 3 month LIBOR + 2.125% junior subordinated debt to fixed interest payments.

Foreign currency swaps are used to convert foreign currency denominated cash flows related to certain investment receipts to U.S. dollars in order to reduce cash flow fluctuations due to changes in currency rates.
The Company also previously entered into forward starting swap agreements to hedge the interest rate exposure related to the future purchase of fixed-rate securities, primarily to hedge
interest rate risk inherent in the assumptions used to price certain group benefits liabilities.
NON-QUALIFYING STRATEGIES
Derivative relationships that do not qualify for hedge accounting (“non-qualifying strategies”) primarily include hedges of interest rate, foreign currency and equity risk of certain fixed maturities and equities. In addition, hedging and replication strategies that utilize credit default swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting. The non-qualifying strategies include:
Credit Contracts
Credit default swaps are used to purchase credit protection on an individual entity or referenced index to economically hedge against default risk and credit-related changes in the value of fixed maturity securities. Credit default swaps are also used to assume credit risk related to an individual entity or referenced index as a part of replication transactions. These contracts require the Company to pay or receive a periodic fee in exchange for compensation from the counterparty or the Company should the referenced security issuers experience a credit event, as defined in the contract. The Company also enters into credit default swaps to terminate existing credit default swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap going forward.
Interest Rate Swaps, Swaptions and Futures
The Company uses interest rate swaps, swaptions and futures to manage interest rate duration between assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to terminate existing swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap going forward. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amount of interest rate swaps in offsetting relationships was $7.2 billion and $7.6 billion, respectively.
Foreign Currency Swaps and Forwards
The Company enters into foreign currency swaps to convert the foreign currency exposures of certain foreign currency-denominated fixed maturity investments to U.S. dollars.

Equity Index Options
The Company enters into equity index options to hedge the impact of a decline in the equity markets on the investment portfolio. The Company also enters into covered call options on equity securities to generate additional return.
DERIVATIVE BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION
For reporting purposes, the Company has elected to offset within assets or liabilities, based upon the net of the fair value amounts, income accruals and related cash collateral receivables and payables of OTC derivative instruments
executed in a legal entity and with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, which provides the Company with the legal right of offset. The following fair value amounts do not include income accruals or related cash collateral receivables and payables, which are netted with derivative fair value amounts to determine balance sheet presentation. The Company’s derivative instruments are held for risk management purposes, unless otherwise noted in the following table. The notional amount of derivative contracts represents the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and is presented in the table to quantify the volume of the Company’s derivative activity. Notional amounts are not necessarily reflective of credit risk.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the
same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2021, the before tax deferred net gains on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months are $33. This expectation is based on the anticipated interest payments on hedged investments in fixed maturity securities and long-term debt that will occur over the next twelve months. At that time, the Company will recognize the deferred net gains (losses) as an adjustment to net investment income and interest expense over the term of the investment cash flows.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no net reclassifications from AOCI to
earnings resulting from the discontinuance of cash-flow hedges due to forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring.
NON-QUALIFYING STRATEGIES
For non-qualifying strategies, including embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated from their host contracts and accounted for as derivatives, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings within net realized capital gains (losses).

Credit Risk Assumed through Credit Derivatives
The Company enters into credit default swaps that assume credit risk of a single entity or referenced index in order to synthetically replicate investment transactions that are permissible under the Company's investment policies. The Company will receive periodic payments based on an agreed upon rate and notional amount and will only make a payment if there is a credit event. A credit event payment will typically be equal to the notional value of the swap contract less the value of the referenced security issuer’s debt obligation after the
occurrence of the credit event. A credit event is generally defined as a default on contractually obligated interest or principal payments or bankruptcy of the referenced entity. The credit default swaps in which the Company assumes credit risk primarily reference investment grade single corporate issuers and baskets, which include standard diversified portfolios of corporate and CMBS issuers. The diversified portfolios of corporate issuers are established within sector concentration limits and may be divided into tranches that possess different credit ratings.

DERIVATIVE COLLATERAL ARRANGEMENTS
The Company enters into various collateral arrangements in connection with its derivative instruments, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has pledged cash collateral associated with derivative instruments of $1 and $0,
respectively. In general, collateral receivable is recorded in other assets or other liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as determined by the Company's election to offset on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company pledged securities collateral associated with derivative instruments with a fair value of $58 and $90, respectively, which have been included in fixed maturities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The counterparties generally have the right to sell or re-

In addition, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has pledged initial margin of securities related to OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivatives with a fair value of $105 and $83, respectively, which are included within fixed maturities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company accepted cash collateral associated with derivative instruments of $15 and $24, respectively, which was invested and recorded in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in
fixed maturities and short-term investments with corresponding amounts recorded in other investments or other liabilities as determined by the Company's election to offset on the balance sheet. The Company also accepted securities collateral as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, with a fair value of $1 as of both dates, which the Company has the right to sell or repledge. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no repledged securities and no securities held as collateral have been sold. Non-cash collateral accepted was held in separate custodial accounts and was not included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ACL on Premiums Receivable and Agents' Balances
Balances are considered past due when amounts that have been billed are not collected within contractually stipulated time periods. The Company had an immaterial amount of receivables with a due date of more than one year that are past-due.
Premium receivable and agents' balances, excluding receivables for losses within a deductible and retrospectively-rated policy premiums, are primarily comprised of premiums due from policyholders, which are typically collectible within one year or less. For these balances, the ACL is estimated based on an aging of receivables and recent historical credit loss and collection experience, adjusted for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, when appropriate.
A portion of the Company's Commercial Lines business is written with large deductibles or under retrospectively-rated
plans. Under some commercial insurance contracts with a large deductible, the Company is obligated to pay the claimant the full amount of the claim and the Company is subsequently reimbursed by the policyholder for the deductible amount. As such, the Company is subject to credit risk until reimbursement is made. Retrospectively-rated policies are utilized primarily for workers' compensation coverage, whereby the ultimate premium is adjusted based on actual losses incurred. Although the premium adjustment feature of a retrospectively-rated policy substantially reduces insurance risk for the Company, it presents credit risk to the Company. The Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected if a significant portion of such policyholders failed to reimburse the Company for the deductible amount or the amount of additional premium owed under retrospectively-rated policies. The Company manages these credit risks through credit analysis, collateral requirements, and oversight.
The ACL for receivables for loss within a deductible and retrospectively-rated policy premiums is estimated as the amount of the receivable exposed to loss multiplied by estimated factors for probability of default and the amount of loss given a default. The probability of default is assigned based on each policyholder's credit rating, or a rating is estimated if no external rating is available. Credit ratings are reviewed and updated at least annually. The exposure amount is estimated net of collateral and other credit enhancement, considering the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, and historical loss information for the type of collateral obtained. The probability of default factors are historical corporate defaults for receivables with similar durations estimated through multiple economic cycles. Credit ratings are forward-looking and consider a variety of economic outcomes. The loss given default factors are based on a study of historical recovery rates for general creditors through multiple economic cycles. The Company's evaluation of the required ACL for receivables for loss within a deductible and retrospectively-rated policy premiums considers the current economic environment as well as the probability-weighted macroeconomic scenarios similar to the approach used for estimating the ACL for mortgage loans. See Note 5 - Investments.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the ACL on premiums receivable decreased as the provision required on premiums written in the quarter was more than offset by write-offs and a reduction in the provision reflecting lessening expected impacts of COVID-19 relative to prior assumptions in certain lines of business. The three and six months ended June

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
8. REINSURANCE
The Company cedes insurance risk to reinsurers to enable the Company to manage capital and risk exposure. Such arrangements do not relieve the Company of its primary liability to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company's procedures include carefully selecting its reinsurers, structuring agreements to provide collateral funds where necessary, and regularly monitoring the financial condition and ratings of its reinsurers.
REINSURANCE RECOVERABLES
Reinsurance recoverables include balances due from reinsurance companies and are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. Reinsurance recoverables include an estimate of the amount of gross losses and loss adjustment
expense reserves that may be ceded under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, including incurred but not reported ("IBNR") unpaid losses. The Company’s estimate of losses and loss adjustment expense reserves ceded to reinsurers is based on assumptions that are consistent with those used in establishing the gross reserves for amounts the Company owes to its claimants. The Company estimates its ceded reinsurance recoverables based on the terms of any applicable facultative and treaty reinsurance, including an estimate of how incurred but not reported losses will ultimately be ceded under reinsurance agreements. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate of reinsurance recoverables is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimate of the gross reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.

To manage reinsurer credit risk, a reinsurance security review committee evaluates the credit standing, financial performance, management and operational quality of each potential reinsurer. In placing reinsurance, the Company considers the nature of the risk reinsured, including the expected liability payout duration, and establishes limits tiered by reinsurer credit rating.
Where its contracts permit, the Company secures future claim obligations with various forms of collateral or other credit enhancement, including irrevocable letters of credit, secured trusts, funds held accounts and group wide offsets. As part of its reinsurance recoverable review, the Company analyzes recent developments in commutation activity between reinsurers and cedants, recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in
disputes between cedants and reinsurers and the overall credit quality of the Company’s reinsurers.
Due to the inherent uncertainties as to collection and the length of time before reinsurance recoverables become due, it is possible that future adjustments to the Company’s reinsurance recoverables, net of the allowance, could be required, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period.
The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance comprises an ACL and an allowance for disputed balances. The ACL is estimated as the amount of reinsurance recoverables exposed to loss multiplied by estimated factors for the probability of default and the amount of loss given a default. The probability of default is assigned based on each reinsurer's credit rating, or a rating is estimated if no external rating is available. Credit ratings are reviewed on a quarterly basis and any significant changes are

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
reflected in an updated estimate. The probability of default factors are historical insurer and reinsurer defaults for liabilities with similar durations to the reinsured liabilities as estimated through multiple economic cycles. Credit ratings are forward-looking and consider a variety of economic outcomes. The loss given default factors are based on a study of historical recovery rates for general creditors of corporations through multiple economic cycles or, in the case of purchased annuities funding structured settlements accounted for as reinsurance, historical recovery rates for annuity contract holders.
As shown in the table above, a portion of the total gross reinsurance recoverable balance relates to the Company’s participation in various mandatory (assigned) and voluntary risk pools. Reinsurance recoverables due from pools are backed by the financial position of all insurance companies participating in the pools and the credit backing the reinsurance recoverable is not limited to the financial strength of each pool. The mandatory
pools generally are funded through policy assessments or surcharges and if any participant in the pool defaults, remaining liabilities are apportioned among the other members.
The Company's evaluation of the required ACL for reinsurance recoverables considers the current economic environment as well as macroeconomic scenarios similar to the approach used to estimate the ACL for mortgage loans. See Note 5 - Investments. Insurance companies, including reinsurers, are regulated and hold risk-based capital ("RBC") to mitigate the risk of loss due to economic factors and other risks. Non-U.S. reinsurers are either subject to a capital regime substantively equivalent to domestic insurers or we hold collateral to support collection of reinsurance recoverables. As a result, there is limited history of losses from insurer defaults. The decrease in the ACL for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher than expected recovery from one reinsurer on which the Company had recognized an ACL.

[1] The change in deferred gain for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 included $45 and $83, respectively, of adverse development on Navigators 2018 and prior accident year reserves, primarily driven by professional liability in the 2021 period and professional liability, marine, general liability, prior accident year catastrophes, and assumed reinsurance in the 2020 period.
Re-estimates of prior accident year reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2021
Workers’ compensation reserves were decreased primarily within small commercial and middle & large commercial accounts for the 2013 through 2017 accident years driven by lower than previously estimated claim severity.
General liability reserves were increased including an increase for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims above the amount of reserves previously recorded for this exposure, primarily to reflect an increase in reserves for claims made against the Boy Scouts of America ("BSA") as discussed further below, partially offset by reserve decreases for other mass torts and extra contractual liability claims.
Package business reserves decreased largely due to lower estimated loss adjustment expenses for accident years 2014 to 2018 and a reduction in estimated reserves for extra contractual liability claims.
Commercial property reserves were decreased primarily due to favorable development for the 2020 accident year in both middle & large commercial and global specialty.
Professional liability reserves were decreased due to lower estimated severity in both large and middle market directors’ and officers’ (“D&O”) insurance for older accident years. More than offsetting this favorable reserve development were reserve increases on legacy Navigators public company directors’ and officers’ insurance for 2018 and prior accident years which is reflected within the change in deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance in the above table.
Bond reserves were reduced mostly due to favorable emergence on contract surety claims driven by higher than previously anticipated recoveries, largely for the 2016 to 2017 accident years.
Automobile liability reserves were decreased in Personal Lines principally due to lower estimated severity on AARP Direct and Agency claims, primarily within accident years 2015 to 2020, and a reduction in estimated reserves for extra contractual liability claims.
Catastrophes reserves were decreased in both Commercial and Personal Lines primarily driven by a reduction in reserves for 2019 and 2020 wind and hail events, lower estimated losses from 2017 and 2018 hurricanes and a reduction in estimated losses from the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires, including an expected recovery of subrogation from a utility related to the 2018 Woolsey wildfire in California.
Uncollectible reinsurance reserves were decreased due to a higher than expected recovery from one reinsurer on which the Company had recognized an allowance for credit losses.
Other reserve re-estimates, net, were increased primarily due to an increase in reserves for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims within P&C Other Operations, principally on assumed reinsurance.
Re-estimates of prior accident year reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2020
Workers’ compensation reserves were reduced on
national account business within middle & large commercial, driven by lower than previously estimated claim severity for the 2014 and prior accident years and were reduced in small commercial due to lower than expected claim severity for the 2013 to 2018 accident years.
General liability reserves were increased in first
quarter 2020, primarily related to guaranteed cost construction business for accident years 2016 to 2019 as incurred losses are developing higher than previously expected for premises and operations claims and product liability claims, partly due to a change in industry mix and a heavier concentration of losses in California than initially assumed. General liability reserves were also increased in second quarter 2020 on primary layer construction account business mainly related to the 2018 accident year and is largely included as a component of the change in deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance in the above table. In addition, the Company recorded an increase in reserves for sexual molestation and abuse claims in the second quarter of 2020 related to cases brought against religious and other institutions that were insureds of the Company. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company increased these reserves by $102 considering the impact of recent bankruptcy filings and
40

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
an expected increase in claim incidence largely driven by legislation passed in a number of states that provides an opportunity for claimants to file claims for a period of time despite the fact that the original statute of limitations had expired.
Marine reserves were increased principally due to an
increase in domestic marine liability, mostly in accident years 2017 and 2018 due to a higher number of large losses. The increase in marine reserves is included as a component of the change in deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance in the above table.
Commercial property reserves were decreased for accident year 2019 due to favorable developments on marine and middle market property claims.
Professional liability reserves were increased
primarily due to an increase in large D&O losses within Global Specialty, principally in the 2016 and 2017 accident years. The reserve increases within Global Specialty are included as a component of the change in deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance in the above table.
Assumed reinsurance reserves were increased for
accident year 2018 mostly due to higher accident and health reserve estimates for medical professionals on assumed casualty business. These reserve increases are included as a component of the change in deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance in the above table.
Automobile liability reserves were decreased in
Personal Lines principally due to lower than previously expected AARP Direct automobile liability claim severity for the 2017 and 2018 accident years. Automobile liability reserves were increased in Commercial Lines primarily due to higher than expected large losses on national accounts in the first quarter of 2020 related to accident years 2015 to 2017 and due to large losses within middle & large commercial, primarily within the 2018 and 2019 accident years.
Catastrophes reserves were reduced, primarily due to a reduction in estimated reserves for 2017 and 2018 California wildfires and a reduction in estimated catastrophes for wind and hail events in the 2018 and 2019 accident years, partially offset by an increase in reserves for 2019 typhoons Hagibis and Faxai in Asia. The reduction in reserves for the 2017 and 2018 wildfires was largely due to recognizing a $289 subrogation benefit in the second quarter of 2020 from PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (together, “PG&E”).
Settlement Agreement with Boy Scouts of America
On April 16, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Agreement”) with BSA pursuant to which The Hartford would pay $650 for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims associated with liability policies issued by various Hartford writing companies in the 1970s and early 1980s. The Agreement was contingent on a number of conditions, including confirmation of a BSA global plan of reorganization that incorporated the Agreement. On July 2, 2021, BSA filed papers with the Bankruptcy Court requesting to be excused from its obligations under the Agreement. The Company opposes BSA’s requested relief and has argued that legally BSA cannot be excused from performance of its
obligations under the Agreement. Even in the absence of a settlement with BSA, the Company continues to believe that $650 is a reasonable estimate of the settlement value of its exposure to sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims pertaining to the BSA and its local councils. Nonetheless, given uncertainties associated with BSA's request to be excused from its obligations under the Agreement, the large number of claims filed against BSA in the bankruptcy, the complex, disputed coverage issues involved with the Company’s policies issued to BSA and its local councils, and the inherent unpredictability of related litigation, and court ordered mediation, it is possible that adverse outcomes, if any, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results.
Adverse Development Covers
The Company has an adverse development cover reinsurance agreement with NICO, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., to reinsure loss development after 2016 on substantially all of the Company’s asbestos and environmental reserves (the “A&E ADC”). Under the A&E ADC, the Company paid a reinsurance premium of $650 for NICO to assume adverse net loss reserve development up to $1.5 billion above the Company’s existing net A&E reserves as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion including reserves for A&E exposure for accident years prior to 1986 that are reported in Property & Casualty Other Operations ("Run-off A&E") and reserves for A&E exposure for accident years 1986 and subsequent from policies underwritten prior to 2016 that are reported in ongoing Commercial Lines and Personal Lines. The $650 reinsurance premium was placed into a collateral trust account as security for NICO’s claim payment obligations to the Company. The Company has retained the risk of collection on amounts due from other third-party reinsurers and continues to be responsible for claims handling and other administrative services, subject to certain conditions. The A&E ADC covers substantially all the Company’s A&E reserve development up to the reinsurance limit.
Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, net adverse A&E reserve development after December 31, 2016 will result in an offsetting reinsurance recoverable up to the $1.5 billion limit. Cumulative ceded losses up to the $650 reinsurance premium paid have been recognized as a dollar-for-dollar offset to direct losses incurred. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding the $650 reinsurance premium paid result in a deferred gain. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has incurred $860 in cumulative adverse development on asbestos and environmental reserves that have been ceded under the A&E ADC treaty with NICO with $640 of available limit remaining under the A&E ADC. As a result, the Company has recorded a $210 deferred gain within other liabilities, representing the difference between the reinsurance recoverable of $860 and ceded premium paid of $650. The deferred gain is recognized over the claim settlement period in the proportion of the amount of cumulative ceded losses collected from the reinsurer to the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries. Consequently, until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings, cumulative adverse development of asbestos and environmental claims will result in charges against earnings which may be significant.
Immediately after closing on the acquisition of Navigators Group, effective May 23, 2019, the Company purchased the Navigators ADC, an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement covering adverse reserve development, from NICO, on behalf of Navigators Insurers. Under the Navigators ADC, the Navigators Insurers paid NICO a reinsurance premium of $91 in

exchange for reinsurance coverage of $300 of adverse net loss reserve development that attaches $100 above the Navigators Insurers' existing net loss and allocated loss adjustment reserves as of December 31, 2018 subject to the treaty of $1.816 billion for accidents and losses prior to December 31, 2018.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has recorded a reinsurance recoverable under the Navigators ADC of $254, as estimated cumulative loss development on the 2018 and prior accident year reserves of $354 exceed the $100 deductible. While the
reinsurance recoverable is $254, the Company has also recorded a $163 cumulative deferred gain within other liabilities since, under retroactive reinsurance accounting, ceded losses in excess of the $91 of ceded premium paid must be recognized as a deferred gain. Of the $163 of cumulative ceded losses in excess of ceded premium paid, $45 was recognized as a deferred gain in 2021 and $83 was recognized as a deferred gain in 2020. As the Company has ceded $254 of the $300 available limit, there is $46 of remaining limit available as of June 30, 2021.

Re-estimates of prior incurral years reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2021
Group disability- Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $240 largely driven by group long-term disability claim incidence lower than prior assumptions together with strong recoveries on prior incurral year claims. Also contributing was group short-term disability non-COVID-19 claim incidence lower than previously expected and a New York Paid Family Leave program refund.
Group life and accident (including group life premium waiver)- Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $30 largely driven by lower-than-previously expected claim incidence in both group life premium waiver and group accidental death & dismemberment.
Supplemental Accident & Health- Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $10 driven by lower-than-previously expected claim incidence during the pandemic.
Re-estimates of prior incurral years reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2020
Group disability- Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $230 largely driven by group long-term disability lower claim incidence and higher recoveries on prior incurral year claims, and a refund on the New York Paid Family Leave program.
Group life and accident (including group life premium waiver)- Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $65 largely driven by lower prior year mortality than prior assumptions in group life and lower-than-previously expected claim incidence in group life premium waiver.
Supplemental Accident & Health- Prior period reserve estimates decreased by approximately $20 driven by lower-than-expected emergence of prior year claims, especially for voluntary critical Illness and voluntary accident products.

OTHER TAX MATTERS
Unrecognized tax benefits were $15 and $14 at the beginning and end of the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate in the period of the release. The Company believes it is reasonably possible approximately $5 of its currently unrecognized tax benefits associated with dividends from segregated asset accounts of the life and annuity business sold in 2018 may be recognized by the end of 2021 as a result of a lapse in the applicable statute of limitations. This liability is subject to a tax indemnification agreement and has a corresponding receivable included in other
assets which would also be taken down upon lapse of the statute of limitations.
On June 10, 2021, the United Kingdom enacted Finance Bill 2021, which included an increase in the corporate tax rate from 19% to 25%, effective April 1, 2023. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $7, which reflects the estimated benefit of the change in tax rate on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of its U.K. subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has foreign net operating losses of $17 for which a valuation allowance of $3 has been established. While the foreign net operating losses ("NOLs") do not expire, this assessment reflects uncertainty in the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the near term in those specific jurisdictions.
Management has assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on tax character and jurisdiction. In making the assessment, management considered future taxable temporary difference reversals, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryovers, taxable income in open carry back years and other tax planning strategies which management views as prudent and feasible.
The federal income tax audits for the Company have been completed through 2013, and the Company is not currently under federal income tax examination for any open years. The statute of limitations is closed through the 2016 tax year with the exception of NOL carryforwards utilized in open tax years. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any potential adjustments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Management evaluates each contingent matter separately. A loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. Management establishes liabilities for these contingencies at its “best estimate,” or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated liability at the low end of the range of losses.
LITIGATION
The Hartford is involved in claims litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, both as a liability insurer defending or providing indemnity for third-party claims brought against insureds and as an insurer defending coverage claims brought

against it. The Hartford accounts for such activity through the establishment of unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Subject to the uncertainties related to sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims discussed in Note 9 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of this Form 10-Q and in Note 12 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in the following discussion under the caption “COVID-19 Pandemic Business Income Insurance Coverage Litigation” and under the caption “Run-off Asbestos and Environmental Claims,” management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of The Hartford.
The Hartford is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert claims for substantial amounts. In addition to the matter described below, these actions include putative class actions seeking certification of a state or national class. Such putative class actions have alleged, for example, underpayment of claims or improper sales or underwriting practices in connection with various kinds of insurance policies, such as personal and commercial automobile, property, disability, life and inland marine. The Hartford also is involved in individual actions in which punitive damages are sought, such as claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims or other allegedly unfair or improper business practices. Like many other insurers, The Hartford also has been joined in actions by asbestos plaintiffs asserting, among other things, that insurers had a duty to protect the public from the dangers of asbestos and that insurers committed unfair trade practices by asserting defenses on behalf of their policyholders in the underlying asbestos cases. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of The Hartford. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, the outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.
COVID-19 Pandemic Business Income Insurance Coverage Litigation
Like many others in the property and casualty insurance industry, beginning in April 2020, various direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (collectively the "Hartford Writing Companies”), and in some instances the Company itself, have been served as defendants in lawsuits seeking insurance coverage under commercial insurance policies issued by the Hartford Writing Companies for alleged losses resulting from the shutdown or suspension of their businesses due to the spread of COVID-19. More than 250 such lawsuits have been filed, of which more than 50 purport to be filed on behalf of broad nationwide or statewide classes of policyholders. These lawsuits have been filed in state and federal courts in roughly 34 states. Although the allegations vary, the plaintiffs generally seek a declaration of insurance coverage, damages for breach of contract in unspecified amounts, interest, and attorneys' fees.
Many of the lawsuits also allege that the insurance claims were denied in bad faith or otherwise in violation of state laws and seek extra-contractual or punitive damages.
The Company and its subsidiaries deny the allegations and continue to vigorously defend these suits. The Hartford Writing Companies maintain that they have no coverage obligations with respect to these suits for business income allegedly lost by the plaintiffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic based on the clear terms of the applicable insurance policies. Although the policy terms vary depending, among other things, upon the size, nature, and location of the policyholder’s business, in general, the claims at issue in these lawsuits were denied because the claimant identified no direct physical damage or loss to property at the insured premises, and the governmental orders that led to the complete or partial shutdown of the business were not due to the existence of any direct physical loss or damage in the immediate vicinity of the insured premises and did not prohibit access to the insured premises, as required by the terms of the insurance policies. In addition, the vast majority of the policies at issue expressly exclude from coverage any loss caused directly or indirectly by the presence, growth, proliferation, spread or activity of a virus, subject to a narrow set of exceptions not applicable in connection with this pandemic, and contain a pollution and contamination exclusion that, among other things, expressly excludes from coverage any loss caused by material that threatens human health or welfare.
In addition to the inherent difficulty in predicting litigation outcomes, the COVID-19 pandemic business income coverage lawsuits present numerous uncertainties and contingencies that are not yet known, including how many policyholders will ultimately file claims, the number of lawsuits that will be filed, the extent to which any state or nationwide classes will be certified, and the size and scope of any such classes. The legal theories advocated by plaintiffs vary significantly by case as do the state laws that govern the policy interpretation. These lawsuits are at various stages of litigation; some are in the earliest stages of litigation, many complaints are in the process of being amended, some have been dismissed voluntarily and may be refiled, while others have been dismissed through rulings in favor of the Hartford Writing Companies. Discovery is underway in certain single plaintiff cases and class actions. More than 30 policyholders have appealed dismissals in favor of the Hartford Writing Companies. While these appeals are at various stages of the process, no decisions have been issued at this time. In addition, business income calculations depend upon a wide range of factors that are particular to the circumstances of each individual policyholder and, here, almost none of the plaintiffs have submitted proofs of loss or otherwise quantified or factually supported any allegedly covered loss, and, in any event, the Company’s experience shows that demands for damages often bear little relation to a reasonable estimate of potential loss. Accordingly, management cannot now reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. Nonetheless, given the large number of claims and potential claims, the indeterminate amounts sought, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that adverse outcomes, if any, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results.

Run-off Asbestos and Environmental Claims
The Company continues to receive A&E claims. Asbestos claims relate primarily to bodily injuries asserted by people who came in contact with asbestos or products containing asbestos. Environmental claims relate primarily to pollution and related clean-up costs.
The vast majority of the Company's exposure to A&E relates to Run-off A&E, reported within the P&C Other Operations segment. In addition, since 1986, the Company has written asbestos and environmental exposures under general liability policies and pollution liability under homeowners policies, which are reported in the Commercial Lines and Personal Lines segments.
Prior to 1986, the Company wrote several different categories of insurance contracts that may cover A&E claims. First, the Company wrote primary policies providing the first layer of coverage in an insured’s liability program. Second, the Company wrote excess and umbrella policies providing higher layers of coverage for losses that exhaust the limits of underlying coverage. Third, the Company acted as a reinsurer assuming a portion of those risks assumed by other insurers writing primary, excess, umbrella and reinsurance coverages.
Significant uncertainty limits the ability of insurers and reinsurers to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid gross losses and expenses related to environmental and particularly asbestos claims. The degree of variability of gross reserve estimates for these exposures is significantly greater than for other more traditional exposures.
In the case of the reserves for asbestos exposures, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty include inadequate loss development patterns, plaintiffs’ expanding theories of liability, the risks inherent in major litigation, and inconsistent emerging legal doctrines. Furthermore, over time, insurers, including the Company, have experienced significant changes in the rate at which asbestos claims are brought, the claims experience of particular insureds, and the value of claims, making predictions of future exposure from past experience uncertain. Plaintiffs and insureds also have sought to use bankruptcy proceedings, including “pre-packaged” bankruptcies, to accelerate and increase loss payments by insurers. In addition, some policyholders have asserted new classes of claims for coverages to which an aggregate limit of liability may not apply. Further uncertainties include insolvencies of other carriers and unanticipated developments pertaining to the Company’s ability to recover reinsurance for A&E claims. Management believes these issues are not likely to be resolved in the near future.
In the case of the reserves for environmental exposures, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty include expanding theories of liability and damages, the risks inherent in major litigation, inconsistent decisions concerning the existence and scope of coverage for environmental claims, and uncertainty as to the monetary amount being sought by the claimant from the insured.
The reporting pattern for assumed reinsurance claims, including those related to A&E claims, is much longer than for direct claims. In many instances, it takes months or years to determine that the policyholder’s own obligations have been met and how
the reinsurance in question may apply to such claims. The delay in reporting reinsurance claims and exposures adds to the uncertainty of estimating the related reserves.
It is also not possible to predict changes in the legal and legislative environment and their effect on the future development of A&E claims.
Given the factors described above, the Company believes the actuarial tools and other techniques it employs to estimate the ultimate cost of claims for more traditional kinds of insurance exposure are less precise in estimating reserves for A&E exposures. For this reason, the Company principally relies on exposure-based analysis to estimate the ultimate costs of these claims, both gross and net of reinsurance, and regularly evaluates new account information in assessing its potential A&E exposures. The Company supplements this exposure-based analysis with evaluations of the Company’s historical direct net loss and expense paid and reported experience, and net loss and expense paid and reported experience by calendar and/or report year, to assess any emerging trends, fluctuations or characteristics suggested by the aggregate paid and reported activity.
While the Company believes that its current A&E reserves are appropriate, significant uncertainties limit the ability of insurers and reinsurers to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid losses and related expenses. The ultimate liabilities, thus, could exceed the currently recorded reserves, and any such additional liability, while not estimable now, could be material to The Hartford’s consolidated operating results and liquidity.
For its Run-off A&E, as of June 30, 2021, the Company reported $646 of net asbestos reserves and $74 of net environmental reserves. In addition, the Company has recorded a $210 deferred gain within other liabilities for losses economically ceded to NICO but for which the benefit is not recognized in earnings until later periods. While the Company believes that its current Run-off A&E reserves are appropriate, significant uncertainties limit our ability to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid losses and related expenses. The ultimate liabilities, thus, could exceed the currently recorded reserves, and any such additional liability, while not reasonably estimable now, could be material to The Hartford's consolidated operating results and liquidity.
The Company’s A&E ADC reinsurance agreement with NICO reinsures substantially all A&E reserve development for 2016 and prior accident years, including Run-off A&E and A&E reserves included in Commercial Lines and Personal Lines. The A&E ADC has a coverage limit of $1.5 billion above the Company’s existing net A&E reserves as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has incurred $860 in cumulative adverse development on A&E reserves that have been ceded under the A&E ADC treaty with NICO, leaving $640 of coverage available for future adverse net reserve development, if any. Cumulative adverse development of A&E claims for accident years 2016 and prior could ultimately exceed the $1.5 billion treaty limit in which case any adverse development in excess of the treaty limit would be absorbed as a charge to earnings by the Company. In these scenarios, the effect of these charges could be material to the Company’s consolidated operating results and liquidity. For more information on the A&E ADC, refer to Note 12, Reserve for

DERIVATIVE COMMITMENTS
Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements contain provisions that are tied to the financial strength ratings, as set by nationally recognized statistical agencies, of the individual legal entity that entered into the derivative agreement. If the legal entity’s financial strength were to fall below certain ratings, the counterparties to the derivative agreements could demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization and, in certain instances, enable the counterparties to terminate the agreements and demand immediate settlement of all outstanding derivative positions traded under each impacted bilateral agreement. The settlement amount is determined by netting the derivative positions transacted under each agreement. If the termination rights were to be exercised by the counterparties, it could impact the legal entity’s ability to conduct hedging activities by increasing the associated costs and decreasing the willingness of counterparties to transact with the legal entity. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position as of June 30, 2021 was $59 for which the legal entities have posted collateral of $58 in the normal course of business. Based on derivative market values as of June 30, 2021, a downgrade of the current financial strength ratings by either Moody's or S&P would not require additional assets to be posted as collateral. This requirement could change as derivative market values change, as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated. The nature of the additional collateral that we would post, if required, would be primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes and government agency securities.
13. EQUITY
EQUITY REPURCHASE PROGRAM
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased $691 (11 million shares) of common stock under the share repurchase program that is effective January 1, 2021 until December 31, 2022 as authorized by the Board of Directors in December 2020. The share repurchase program was initially authorized at $1.5 billion and, in April 2021, the Company announced an increase in the share repurchase authorization to $2.5 billion, which remains effective until December 31, 2022. During the period July 1, 2021 through July 27, 2021, the Company repurchased $116 (1.9 million shares) under this repurchase program. The timing of future repurchases will be dependent on several factors, including the market price of the Company's securities, the Company's capital position, consideration of the effect of any repurchases on the Company's financial strength or credit ratings, the Company's blackout periods, and other considerations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, The Company repurchased $150 (2.7 million shares) of common stock under the previous share repurchase program that expired December 31, 2020.

16. BUSINESS DISPOSITION
Sale of Continental Europe Operations
On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Continental Europe Operations consisting of multiple arrangements designed as a single transaction. The Continental Europe Operations are included in the Commercial Lines reporting segment. Revenues and earnings are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The
pending sale resulted in an estimated loss on the sale of approximately $66, before tax, including $18, before tax, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was recorded within net realized capital gains (losses). The accrual for the estimated before tax loss is included as a reduction of the carrying value of assets held for sale in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Within the disposal group, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investments in fixed maturities and short-term investments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, had a fair value of $81 and $84, respectively, of which $0 and $1, respectively, was based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and $81 and $83, respectively, was based on significant observable inputs.The remaining fair value less costs to sell for the disposal group as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was ($69) and ($70), respectively, which is measured on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 4—Fair Value Measurements for more information.
17. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
In recognition of the need to become more cost efficient and competitive along with enhancing the experience we provide to agents and customers, on July 30, 2020 the Company announced an operational transformation and cost reduction plan it refers to as Hartford Next. Hartford Next is intended to reduce annual insurance operating costs and other expenses through reduction of the Company's headcount, investment in information technology ("IT") to further enhance our capabilities,
and other activities. The activities are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2022.
Termination benefits related to workforce reductions and professional fees are included within restructuring and other costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and unpaid restructuring costs are included in other liabilities in the June 30, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the second quarter of 2021, the severance benefits accrual was

reduced $9 due to recent experience of higher than expected voluntary attrition. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company expects to incur additional costs including amortization of right of use assets and other lease exit costs, other IT costs to retire applications, professional fees and other expenses. Total restructuring and other costs are expected to be approximately
$152, before tax, and are being recognized in Corporate for segment reporting. The estimated restructuring and other costs for future periods do not include all costs associated with the real estate consolidation plan as those plans are still being finalized.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar amounts in millions except for per share data, unless otherwise stated)
The Hartford provides projections and other forward-looking information in the following discussions, which contain many forward-looking statements, particularly relating to the Company’s future financial performance. These forward-looking statements are estimates based on information currently available to the Company, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the cautionary statements set forth on pages 4 and 5 of this Form 10-Q. Actual results are likely to differ, and in the past have differed, materially from those forecast by the Company, depending on the outcome of various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the following discussion; Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in The Hartford’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report; and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Hartford undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity of Navigators Holdings (Europe) N.V., a Belgium holding company, and its subsidiaries, Bracht, Deckers & Mackelbert N.V. (“BDM”) and Assurances Contintales Contintale Verzekeringen N.V. (“ASCO”), (collectively referred to as "Continental Europe Operations").

KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND RATIOS
The Company considers the measures and ratios in the following discussion to be key performance indicators for its businesses. Management believes that these ratios and measures are useful in understanding the underlying trends in The Hartford’s businesses. However, these key performance indicators should only be used in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the results presented in the segment discussions that follow in this MD&A. These ratios and measures may not be comparable to other performance measures used by the Company’s competitors.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP AND OTHER MEASURES AND RATIOS
Assets Under Management ("AUM")- Include mutual fund and exchange-traded products ("ETP") assets. AUM is a measure used by the Company's Hartford Funds segment because a significant portion of the Company’s mutual fund and ETP revenues are based upon asset values. These revenues increase or decrease with a rise or fall in AUM whether caused by changes in the market or through net flows.
Book Value per Diluted Share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI")- This is a non-GAAP per share measure that is calculated by dividing (a) common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, after tax, by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Company provides this measure to enable investors to analyze the amount of the Company's net worth that is primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company believes that excluding AOCI from the numerator is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Book value per diluted share is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
Combined Ratio- The sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, the expense ratio and the policyholder dividend ratio. This ratio is a relative measurement that describes the related cost of losses and expenses for every $100 of earned premiums. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100 demonstrates underwriting losses.
Core Earnings- The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings as an important measure of the Company’s operating performance. The Hartford believes that core earnings provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Company’s ongoing businesses because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services businesses that may be obscured by including the net effect of certain items. Therefore, the following items are excluded from core earnings:
•Certain realized capital gains and losses - Some realized capital gains and losses are primarily driven by investment decisions and external economic developments, the nature and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance and underwriting aspects of our business. Accordingly, core earnings excludes the effect of all realized gains and losses that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions. The Hartford believes, however, that some realized capital gains and losses are integrally related to our insurance operations, so core earnings includes net realized gains and losses such as net periodic settlements on credit derivatives. These net realized gains and losses are directly related to an offsetting item included in the income statement such as net investment income.
•Restructuring and other costs - Costs incurred as part of a restructuring plan are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
•Loss on extinguishment of debt - Largely consisting of make-whole payments or tender premiums upon paying debt off before maturity, these losses are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
•Gains and losses on reinsurance transactions - Gains or losses on reinsurance, such as those entered into upon sale of a business or to reinsure loss reserves, are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
•Integration and other non-recurring M&A costs - These costs, including transaction costs incurred in connection with an acquired business, are incurred over a short period of time and do not represent an ongoing operating expense of the business.
•Change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business - These changes in loss reserves are excluded from core earnings because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition.
•Deferred gain resulting from retroactive reinsurance and subsequent changes in the deferred gain - Retroactive reinsurance agreements economically transfer risk to the reinsurers and including the full benefit from retroactive reinsurance in core earnings provides greater insight into the economics of the business.
•Change in valuation allowance on deferred taxes related to non-core components of pre-tax income - These changes in valuation allowances are excluded from core earnings because they relate to non-core components of pre-tax income, such as tax attributes like capital loss carryforwards.
•Results of discontinued operations - These results are excluded from core earnings for businesses sold or held for sale because such results could obscure the ability to compare period over period results for our ongoing businesses.
In addition to the above components of net income available to common stockholders that are excluded from core earnings, preferred stock dividends declared, which are excluded from net income available to common stockholders, are included in the determination of core earnings. Preferred stock dividends are a cost of financing more akin to interest expense on debt and are expected to be a recurring expense as long as the preferred stock is outstanding.
Net income (loss) and net income (loss) available to common stockholders are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to core earnings. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) available to common stockholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business. Therefore, The Hartford believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders, and core earnings when reviewing the Company’s performance.

[1] Primarily represents the federal income tax expense (benefit) related to before tax items not included in core earnings and includes the effect of changes in net deferred taxes due to changes in enacted tax rates.
Core Earnings Margin- The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings margin to evaluate, and believes it is an important measure of, the Group Benefits segment's operating performance. Core earnings margin is calculated by dividing core earnings by revenues, excluding buyouts and realized gains (losses). Net income margin, calculated by dividing net income by revenues, is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that core earnings margin provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of Group Benefits because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the effect of buyouts and realized gains (losses) as well as other items excluded in the calculation of core earnings. Core earnings margin should not be considered as a substitute for net income margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Group Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both core earnings margin and net income margin when reviewing performance. A reconciliation of net income margin to core earnings margin is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Group Benefits.
Current Accident Year Catastrophe Ratio- A component of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, represents the ratio of catastrophe losses incurred in the current accident year (net of reinsurance) to earned premiums. For U.S. events, a catastrophe is an event that causes $25 or more in industry insured property losses and affects a significant number of property and casualty policyholders and insurers, as defined by the Property Claim Services office of Verisk. For international events, the Company's approach is similar, informed, in part, by how Lloyd's of London defines catastrophes. Lloyd's of London is an insurance market-place operating worldwide ("Lloyd's"). Lloyd's does not underwrite risks. The Company accepts risks as the sole member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate"). The current accident year catastrophe ratio includes the effect of catastrophe losses, but does not include the effect of reinstatement premiums.
Expense Ratio- For the underwriting segments of Commercial Lines and Personal Lines is the ratio of underwriting expenses less fee income, to earned premiums. Underwriting expenses include the amortization of deferred
policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and insurance operating costs and expenses, including certain centralized services costs and bad debt expense. DAC include commissions, taxes, licenses and fees and other incremental direct underwriting expenses and are amortized over the policy term.
The expense ratio for Group Benefits is expressed as the ratio of insurance operating costs and other expenses including amortization of intangibles and amortization of DAC, to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums.
The expense ratio for Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and Group Benefits does not include integration and other transaction costs associated with an acquired business.
Fee Income- Is largely driven from amounts earned as a result of contractually defined percentages of assets under management in our Hartford Funds business. These fees are generally earned on a daily basis. Therefore, the growth in assets under management either through positive net flows or favorable market performance will have a favorable impact on fee income. Conversely, either negative net flows or unfavorable market performance will reduce fee income.
Gross New Business Premium- Represents the amount of premiums charged, before ceded reinsurance, for policies issued to customers who were not insured with the Company in the previous policy term. Gross new business premium plus gross renewal written premium less ceded reinsurance equals total written premium.
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio- A measure of the cost of claims incurred in the calendar year divided by earned premium and includes losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred for both the current and prior accident years. Among other factors, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio needed for the Company to achieve its targeted return on equity ("ROE") fluctuates from year to year based on changes in the expected investment yield over the claim settlement period, the timing of expected claim settlements and the targeted returns set by management based on the competitive environment.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is affected by claim frequency and claim severity, particularly for shorter-tail property lines of business, where the emergence of claim frequency and severity is credible and likely indicative of ultimate losses. Claim frequency represents the percentage change in the average number of reported claims per unit of exposure in the current accident year compared to that of the previous accident year. Claim severity represents the percentage change in the estimated average cost per claim in the current accident year compared to that of the previous accident year. As one of the factors used to determine pricing, the Company’s practice is to first make an overall assumption about claim frequency and severity for a given line of business and then, as part of the rate-making process, adjust the assumption as appropriate for the particular state, product or coverage.
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio before Catastrophes and Prior Accident Year Development- A measure of the cost of non-catastrophe loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred in the current accident year divided by earned premiums. Management believes that the current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio before catastrophes is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year development.
Loss Ratio, excluding Buyouts- Utilized for the Group Benefits segment and is expressed as a ratio of benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses, excluding those related to buyout premiums, to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums. Since Group Benefits occasionally buys a block of claims for a stated premium amount, the Company excludes this buyout from the loss ratio used for evaluating the profitability of the business as buyouts may distort the loss ratio. Buyout premiums represent takeover of open claim liabilities and other non-recurring premium amounts.
Mutual Fund and Exchange-Traded Product Assets- Are owned by the shareholders of those products and not by the Company and, therefore, are not reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements except in instances where the Company seeds new investment products and holds an investment in the fund for a period of time. Mutual fund and ETP assets are a measure used by the Company primarily because a significant portion of the Company’s Hartford Funds segment revenues are based upon asset values. These revenues increase or decrease with a rise or fall in AUM whether caused by changes in the market or through net flows.
Net New Business Premium- Represents the amount of premiums charged, after ceded reinsurance, for policies issued to customers who were not insured with the Company in the previous policy term. Net new business premium plus renewal written premium equals total written premium.
Policy Count Retention- Represents the ratio of the number of renewal policies issued during the current year period divided by the number of policies issued in the previous calendar period before considering policies cancelled subsequent to renewal. Policy count retention is affected by a number of factors, including the percentage of renewal policy quotes accepted and decisions by the Company to non-renew
policies because of specific policy underwriting concerns or because of a decision to reduce premium writings in certain classes of business or states. Policy count retention is also affected by advertising and rate actions taken by competitors.
Policy Count Retention, Net of Cancellations- Represents the ratio of the number of renewal policies issued net of cancellations during the current year period divided by the number of policies issued net of cancellations in the previous calendar period.
Policies in Force- Represents the number of policies with coverage in effect as of the end of the period. The number of policies in force is a growth measure used for Personal Lines and standard commercial lines (small commercial and middle market lines within middle & large commercial) within Commercial Lines and is affected by both new business growth and policy count retention.
Policyholder Dividend Ratio- The ratio of policyholder dividends to earned premium.
Prior Accident Year Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio- Represents the increase (decrease) in the estimated cost of settling catastrophe and non-catastrophe claims incurred in prior accident years as recorded in the current calendar year divided by earned premiums.
Reinstatement Premiums- Represents additional ceded premium paid for the reinstatement of the amount of reinsurance coverage that was reduced as a result of the Company ceding losses to reinsurers.
Renewal Earned Price Increase (Decrease)- Written premiums are earned over the policy term, which is six months for certain Personal Lines automobile business and twelve months for substantially all of the remainder of the Company’s Property and Casualty business. Since the Company earns premiums over the six to twelve month term of the policies, renewal earned price increases (decreases) lag renewal written price increases (decreases) by six to twelve months.
Renewal Written Price Increase (Decrease)- For Commercial Lines, represents the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and individual risk pricing decisions per unit of exposure on commercial lines policies that renewed. For Personal Lines, renewal written price increases represent the total change in premium per policy since the prior year on those policies that renewed and includes the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and other changes in exposure. For Personal Lines, other changes in exposure include, but are not limited to, the effect of changes in number of drivers, vehicles and incidents, as well as changes in customer policy elections, such as deductibles and limits. The rate component represents the change in rate filed with and approved by state regulators during the period and the amount of insurance represents the change in the value of the rating base, such as model year/vehicle symbol for automobiles, building replacement costs for property and wage inflation for workers’ compensation. A number of factors affect renewal written price increases (decreases) including expected loss costs as projected by the Company’s pricing actuaries, rate filings approved by state regulators, risk selection decisions made by the Company’s underwriters and marketplace

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
competition. Renewal written price changes reflect the property and casualty insurance market cycle. Prices tend to increase for a particular line of business when insurance carriers have incurred significant losses in that line of business in the recent past or the industry as a whole commits less of its capital to writing exposures in that line of business. Prices tend to decrease when recent loss experience has been favorable or when competition among insurance carriers increases. Renewal written price statistics are subject to change from period to period, based on a number of factors, including changes in actuarial estimates and the effect of subsequent cancellations and non-renewals, and modifications made to better reflect ultimate pricing achieved.
Return on Assets (“ROA”), Core Earnings-The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate, and believes is an important measure of, the Hartford Funds segment’s operating performance. ROA, core earnings is calculated by dividing annualized core earnings by a daily average AUM. ROA is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that ROA, core earnings, provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Hartford Funds segment because it reveals trends in our business that may be obscured by the effect of items excluded in the calculation of core earnings. ROA, core earnings, should not be considered as a substitute for ROA and does not reflect the overall profitability of our Hartford Funds business. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both ROA, and ROA, core earnings when reviewing the Hartford Funds segment performance. A reconciliation of ROA to ROA, core earnings is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Hartford Funds.
Underlying Combined Ratio- This non-GAAP financial measure of underwriting results represents the combined ratio before catastrophes, prior accident year development and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. Combined ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The underlying combined ratio represents the combined ratio for the current accident year, excluding the impact of current accident year catastrophes and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. The Company believes this ratio is an important measure of the trend in profitability since it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense reserve development. The changes to loss reserves upon acquisition of a business are excluded from underlying combined ratio because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition as such trends are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the Company's financial performance.
A reconciliation of combined ratio to underlying combined ratio is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Commercial Lines and Personal Lines.
Underwriting Gain (Loss)- The Hartford's management evaluates profitability of the Commercial and Personal Lines segments primarily on the basis of underwriting gain or loss. Underwriting gain (loss) is a before tax non-GAAP measure that represents earned premiums less incurred losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Underwriting gain (loss) is influenced significantly by earned premium growth and the adequacy of The Hartford's pricing. Underwriting profitability over time is also greatly influenced by The Hartford's underwriting discipline, as management strives to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, effective management of claims, use of reinsurance and its ability to manage its expenses. The Hartford believes that the measure underwriting gain (loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability, before tax, derived from underwriting activities, which are managed separately from the Company's investing activities.

Written and Earned Premiums- Written premium represents the amount of premiums charged for policies issued, net of reinsurance, during a fiscal period. Premiums are considered earned and are included in the financial results on a pro rata basis over the policy period. Management believes that written premium is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it reflects current trends in the Company’s sale of property and casualty insurance products. Written and earned premium are recorded net of ceded reinsurance premium.
Traditional life and disability insurance type products, such as those sold by Group Benefits, collect premiums from policyholders in exchange for financial protection for the policyholder from a specified insurable loss, such as death or disability. These premiums together with net investment income earned are used to pay the contractual obligations under these insurance contracts. Two major factors, new sales and persistency, impact premium growth. Sales can increase or decrease in a given year based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, customer demand for the Company’s product offerings, pricing competition, distribution channels and the Company’s reputation and ratings. Persistency refers to the percentage of premium remaining in-force from year-to-year.
THE HARTFORD’S OPERATIONS
The Hartford conducts business principally in five reporting segments including Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Property & Casualty Other Operations, Group Benefits and Hartford Funds, as well as a Corporate category. The Company includes in the Corporate category reserves for run-off structured settlement and terminal funding agreement liabilities, restructuring costs, capital raising activities (including equity financing, debt financing and related interest expense), transaction expenses incurred in connection with an acquisition, certain M&A costs, purchase accounting adjustments related to goodwill and other expenses not allocated to the reporting segments. Corporate also includes investment management fees and expenses related to managing third party business, including management of the invested assets of Talcott Resolution Life, Inc. and its subsidiaries. In addition, up until June 30, 2021, Corporate included a 9.7% ownership interest in Hopmeadow Holdings LP, the legal entity that acquired Talcott Resolution in May 2018 (Hopmeadow Holdings, LP, Talcott Resolution Life Inc., and its subsidiaries are collectively referred

to as "Talcott Resolution"). The sale of Talcott Resolution was completed on June 30, 2021. The Company received a total of $217 in connection with the sale of its 9.7% ownership interest, resulting in a realized capital gain of $46 before tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company derives its revenues principally from: (a) premiums earned for insurance coverage provided to insureds; (b) management fees on mutual fund and ETP assets; (c) net investment income; (d) fees earned for services provided to third parties; and (e) net realized capital gains and losses. Premiums charged for insurance coverage are earned principally on a pro rata basis over the terms of the related policies in-force.
The profitability of the Company's property and casualty insurance businesses over time is greatly influenced by the Company’s underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, its management of claims, its use of reinsurance, the size of its in force block, actual mortality and morbidity experience, and its ability to manage its expense ratio which it accomplishes through economies of scale and its management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. Pricing adequacy depends on a number of factors, including the ability to obtain regulatory approval for rate changes, proper evaluation of underwriting risks, the ability to project future loss cost frequency and severity based on historical loss experience adjusted for known trends, the Company’s response to rate actions taken by competitors, its expense levels and expectations about regulatory and legal developments. The Company seeks to price its insurance policies such that insurance premiums and future net investment income earned on premiums received will cover underwriting expenses and the ultimate cost of paying claims reported on the policies and provide for a profit margin. For many of its insurance products, the Company is required to obtain approval for its premium rates from state insurance departments and the Lloyd's Syndicate 1221's ("Lloyd's Syndicate") ability to write business is subject to Lloyd's approval for its premium capacity each year. Most of Personal Lines written premium is associated with our exclusive licensing agreement with AARP. This agreement provides an important competitive advantage given the size of the 50 plus population and the strength of the AARP brand. In 2020, the Company extended this agreement through December 31, 2032.
Similar to property and casualty, profitability of the Group Benefits business depends, in large part, on the ability to evaluate and price risks appropriately and make reliable estimates of mortality, morbidity, disability and longevity. To manage the pricing risk, Group Benefits generally offers term insurance policies, allowing for the adjustment of rates or policy terms in order to minimize the adverse effect of market trends, loss costs, declining interest rates and other factors. However, as policies are typically sold with rate guarantees of up to three years, pricing for the Company’s products could prove to be inadequate if loss and expense trends emerge adversely during the rate guarantee period or if investment returns are lower than expected at the time the products were sold. For some of its products, the Company is required to obtain approval for its premium rates from state insurance departments. New and renewal business for group benefits business, particularly for long-term disability, are priced using an assumption about expected investment yields over time. While the Company
employs asset-liability duration matching strategies to mitigate risk and may use interest-rate sensitive derivatives to hedge its exposure in the Group Benefits investment portfolio, cash flow patterns related to the payment of benefits and claims are uncertain and actual investment yields could differ significantly from expected investment yields, affecting profitability of the business. In addition to appropriately evaluating and pricing risks, the profitability of the Group Benefits business depends on other factors, including the Company’s response to pricing decisions and other actions taken by competitors, its ability to offer voluntary products and self-service capabilities, the persistency of its sold business and its ability to manage its expenses which it seeks to achieve through economies of scale and operating efficiencies.
The financial results of the Company’s mutual fund and ETP businesses depend largely on the amount of assets under management and the level of fees charged based, in part, on asset share class and product type. Changes in assets under management are driven by the two main factors of net flows and the market return of the funds, which are heavily influenced by the return realized in the equity and bond markets. Net flows are comprised of new sales less redemptions by mutual fund and ETP shareholders. Financial results are highly correlated to the growth in assets under management since these products generally earn fee income on a daily basis.
The investment return, or yield, on invested assets is an important element of the Company’s earnings since insurance products are priced with the assumption that premiums received can be invested for a period of time before benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid. Due to the need to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy claim obligations, the majority of the Company’s invested assets have been held in available-for-sale securities, including, among other asset classes, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government debt, short-term debt, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations. The primary investment objective for the Company is to maximize economic value, consistent with acceptable risk parameters, including the management of credit risk and interest rate sensitivity of invested assets, while generating sufficient net of tax income to meet policyholder and corporate obligations. Investment strategies are developed based on a variety of factors including business needs, regulatory requirements and tax considerations.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Impact to revenues
Written and Earned premiums
While we are beginning to emerge from the pandemic with economic stimulus measures being passed in the U.S. and other jurisdictions and progress being made to vaccinate the public from the COVID-19 virus, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a threat to the economic recovery of the U.S. and other countries in which we operate. As one of the largest providers of small business insurance in the U.S., we were negatively affected by economic effects of the pandemic on
57

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
small businesses beginning in March of 2020. In 2021, economic conditions have improved and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we experienced an increase of 11% and 8% respectively, in our small commercial written premiums. Our middle & large commercial business was also negatively affected by COVID-19 and written premium in that line has started to rebound with written premium up 20% and 8%, respectively, in the three and six month period. Overall, Commercial Lines written premium increased $329, or 15%, and $424, or 9%, respectively, in the three and sixth months ended June 30, 2021 with growth in workers' compensation, small commercial package business, general liability, U.S. wholesale, U.S. financial lines and global reinsurance.
Personal Lines written premium increased 3% for the three months and was relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the effect of the premium credits given in 2020, partially offset by the effect of non-renewed premium exceeding new business.
In Group Benefits, fully insured ongoing premium increased 2% and 3%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher in-force employer group disability premiums and higher supplemental health product premiums.
Net investment income and realized capital gains (losses)
Total net investment income increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to greater income
from limited partnerships and other alternative investments and a higher level of invested assets, partially offset by a lower yield on fixed maturity investments resulting from lower reinvestment rates and a lower yield on floating rate investments. While longer term interest rates have risen year to date in 2021, a prolonged period of low interest rates could depress the Company's net investment income such that to earn the same level of return on equity we may have to charge higher premiums for the insurance products we sell unless loss costs similarly lessen.
Net realized capital gains (losses) on equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $131 before tax, largely due to an increase in equity market levels since year end 2020. However, we may incur net realized capital losses on equity securities in future periods if we experience declines in equity market levels. In addition, if the economy does not recover as expected, we could experience elevated credit losses on fixed maturity securities, particularly related to highly leveraged companies, resulting in net realized capital losses.
Impact to direct benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses from COVID-19 claims
Total direct COVID-19 and excess mortality claims were lower in the first six months of 2021 compared to the comparable period in 2020 largely due to commercial property COVID-19 losses incurred in the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by an increase in excess mortality claims in our group life business. Given the high level of infections and deaths in the first half of 2021, excess mortality claims for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were higher than the comparable period in 2020.

| For the three months ended June 30, |  | For the six months ended June 30,
| 2021 | 2020 |  | 2021 | 2020
Excess mortality claims on group life | $ | 25 |  | $ | 45 |  |  | $ | 210 |  | $ | 45 |
COVID-19 short-term disability claims and benefits under New York's disability and paid family leave legislation | (6) |  | (16) |  |  | 7 |  | — |
Workers' compensation COVID-19 claims | — |  | 35 |  |  | 20 |  | 35 |
Global specialty financial lines and other | 3 |  | 37 |  |  | 7 |  | 37 |
Commercial property | — |  | 141 |  |  | — |  | 141 |
Total direct COVID-19 and excess mortality claims | $ | 22 |  | $ | 242 |  |  | $ | 244 |  | $ | 258 |

Within Group Benefits, the Company experienced excess mortality in its group life business, including those claims where COVID-19 is specifically listed as the cause of death. Within P&C, direct COVID-19 incurred losses in the 2021 period were predominantly on workers' compensation claims in the first quarter. We incur COVID-19 workers’ compensation losses when it is determined that workers were exposed to COVID-19 out of and in the course of their employment and in other cases where states have passed laws providing for the presumption of coverage for certain industry classes, including health care and other essential workers.
Apart from COVID-19 workers' compensation claims, net of favorable frequency, and incurred losses within financial lines, P&C COVID-19 incurred losses in the 2020 periods primarily included $141 for property claims. There were no COVID-19 P&C property losses incurred in the three or six months ended June 30, 2021. Nearly all of our property insurance policies
require direct physical loss or damage to property and contain standard exclusions that we believe preclude coverage for COVID-19 related claims, and the vast majority of such policies contain exclusions for virus-related losses.
Other impacts from COVID-19
In Personal Lines automobile, miles driven have begun to increase again as we emerge from the pandemic which has increased automobile loss costs in 2021. In addition, as the effects of favorable claim frequency from lower miles driven during the pandemic are factored into rates, we expect lower earned pricing increases resulting in a higher expected automobile loss ratio in 2021 than in 2020. Refer to Personal Lines Results of Operations for discussion of pricing and loss cost trends in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Aided by some improvement in the economy and the effect of the government’s economic stimulus payments to our

customers, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded decreases of $10 and $18 in the ACL on premiums receivable, reflecting a lower expectation of credit losses, though there remains an elevated risk of uncollectible premiums receivable relative to historical trends if economic conditions do not improve further.
As we emerge from the pandemic, we expect travel costs and certain employee benefits costs will increase relative to the lower level of those costs we incurred when shelter-in-place orders were more broadly in effect.
For information about resources the Company has to manage capital and liquidity, refer to the Capital Resources & Liquidity section of MD&A.
For additional information about the potential economic impacts to the Company of the COVID-19 pandemic, see the risk factor "The pandemic caused by the spread of COVID-19 has disrupted our operations and may have a material adverse impact on our business results, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity" in Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
OPERATIONAL TRANSFORMATION AND COST REDUCTION PLAN
In recognition of the need to become more cost efficient and competitive along with enhancing the experience we provide to agents and customers, on July 30, 2020, the Company announced an operational transformation and cost reduction plan it refers to as Hartford Next. Through reduction of its headcount, IT investments to further enhance our capabilities, and other activities, relative to 2019, the Company expects to achieve a reduction in annual insurance operating costs and other expenses of approximately $540 by 2022 and $625 by 2023.
To achieve those expected savings, we expect to incur $391 over the course of the program, with $196 expensed cumulatively through June 30, 2021, and expected expenses of $42 over the last six months of 2021, $77 in 2022 and $76 after 2022, with the expenses after 2022 consisting mostly of amortization of internal use software and capitalized real estate costs. Included in the estimated costs of $391, we expect to incur restructuring costs of approximately $152, including $64 of employee severance, and approximately $88 of other costs, including consulting expenses and the cost to retire certain IT applications. In the second quarter of 2021, total estimated employee severance costs were reduced by $9 due to recent experience of higher than expected voluntary attrition. Restructuring costs are reported as a charge to net income but not in core earnings.
The following table presents Hartford Next program costs incurred, including restructuring costs, and expense savings relative to 2019 realized in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and expected annual costs and expense savings relative to 2019 for the full year in 2021 and 2022:

Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020
Net income available to common stockholders increased by $437, primarily driven by:
•An increase in net investment income of $242 before tax driven by higher returns on limited partnerships and other alternative investments;
•A $120 before tax decrease in current accident year catastrophe losses;
•Higher Commercial Lines earned premiums, including higher audit and endorsement premiums;
•An improvement in the P&C underlying combined ratio, including a decrease in COVID-19 incurred losses from $213 before tax in second quarter 2020 to $3 before tax in second quarter 2021 and a lower loss ratio before COVID-19 in Commercial Lines, partially offset by higher personal automobile claim frequency;
•A decrease in excess mortality losses in group life, including deaths specifically attributable to COVID-19; and
•A $38 before tax increase in net realized capital gains.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $119 before tax decrease in net favorable P&C prior accident year development, primarily due to higher reserve reductions related to prior year catastrophes in 2020, primarily relating to decreases in estimated losses arising from California wildfires, including a $289 before tax subrogation benefit from PG&E;
•Lower income from the retained Talcott Resolution investment, which was divested on June 30, 2021; and
•An increase in integration and other M&A costs.

REVENUE
Earned Premiums
[1] For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the total includes $5 in Corporate.
Earned premiums increased by $226, or 5%, primarily due to:
•An increase in Property and Casualty reflecting a 9% increase in Commercial Lines and a 6% increase in Personal Lines. Contributing to the increase in Commercial Lines was the effect of higher audit and endorsement premiums given the economic recovery in 2021. The increase in Personal Lines was due to $81 of COVID-related premium credits in 2020, partially offset by the effect of non-renewals outpacing new business; and
•Group Benefits earned premium was flat year over year as an increase in group disability and higher supplemental health product premiums were offset by the effect of buyout premium in the 2020 period.
Fee income increased driven by Hartford Funds as a result of higher daily average assets under management due to an increase in equity market levels and net inflows.
Other revenues decreased by $62, primarily driven by lower income from the retained Talcott Resolution investment, which was divested on June 30, 2021, partially offset by an increase in Commercial Lines servicing revenue.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income increased primarily due to:
•Greater income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments primarily driven by higher valuations and sales of underlying investments within private equity funds;
•A higher level of invested assets; and
•Partially offset by a lower yield on fixed maturity investments resulting from reinvesting at lower rates and a lower yield on floating rate investments.
Net realized capital gains (losses) of $147 improved by $38 from second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by:
•A net reduction in ACL on mortgage loans and fixed maturities in 2021 due to an improved economic outlook and valuation increases of corporate securities, compared to increases in the ACL on mortgages and fixed maturities in 2020;
•A $46 before tax net realized capital gain in 2021 resulting from sale of the Company's 9.7% retained interest in Talcott Resolution; and
•Greater net realized capital gains on equity securities driven by valuation increases associated with a higher level of assets invested in equity securities in 2021.
These improvements were partially offset by:
•Losses on non-qualifying interest rate derivatives in 2021 due to a decrease in interest rates;
•Losses in 2021 related to the pending sale of the Continental Europe Operations; and
•Lower net realized capital gains on sales of fixed maturity securities.

BENEFITS, LOSSES AND EXPENSES
Losses and LAE Incurred for P&C
Benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased due to:
•A decrease in Property & Casualty, which was attributable to:
–A $120 decrease in current accident year catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses of $128 in the second quarter of 2021 were primarily from various tornado, wind and hail events, mostly concentrated in Texas and the Southeast. Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2020 were primarily from the civil unrest that took place in late May and June as well as from wind and hail events principally in the South, Midwest and Great Plains. For additional information, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance;
–A decrease in Property & Casualty current accident year ("CAY") loss and loss adjustment expenses before catastrophes primarily due to a decrease in COVID-19 incurred losses from $213 in second quarter 2020 to $3 in second quarter 2021, and lower current accident year loss ratios before COVID-19 in global specialty, workers’ compensation and general liability, largely offset by higher non-catastrophe property losses, higher personal automobile claim frequency, and the effect of higher earned premiums; and
–A $119 decrease in Property & Casualty net favorable prior accident year reserve development. Prior accident year reserve development in 2021 was a favorable $149 before tax, net of $39 before tax of adverse development for Navigators related to 2018 and prior accident years that has been economically ceded to NICO but recorded as a deferred gain. Favorable development was primarily due to reserve decreases for catastrophes, workers' compensation, package business, personal automobile liability, and bond.
Losses and LAE Incurred for Group Benefits
Prior accident year reserve development in 2020 was a net favorable $268 before tax driven by $400 of reserve reductions related to catastrophes, including decreases in estimated losses arising from wind and hail events in 2018 and 2019 and from the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires, including a $289 before tax subrogation benefit from PG&E. Apart from catastrophes, second quarter 2020 reserve development primarily included a $102 before tax increase in reserves related to sexual molestation and abuse claims. Due to recognizing a deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance, the $268 of net favorable reserve development in second quarter 2020 included $54 before tax of adverse development for Navigators related to 2018 and prior accident years that has been recorded as a deferred gain. For further discussion, see Note 9 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
•A decrease in Group Benefits of $14 driven by a lower level of excess mortality losses in group life, and a higher New York Paid Family Leave risk assessment refund in the 2021 period, partially offset by an increase in reserves for late reported retiree claims, less favorable pandemic related short-term disability claim frequency and less favorable recoveries on prior incurral year long-term disability claims.
For further discussion of impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to the Impact of COVID-19 on our Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Liquidity section of this MD&A.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs decreased from the prior year period primarily due to lower average commissions in Commercial Lines despite higher earned premiums.
Insurance operating costs and other expenses increased primarily due to:

Table of Contents |  | Index to MD&A

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
•Higher variable costs of the Hartford Funds business due to higher daily average assets under management, increased AARP direct marketing costs in Personal Lines and increased costs to handle the volume of excess mortality claims;
•Legal and consulting costs associated with the unsolicited proposals from Chubb Limited (“Chubb”) to acquire the Company; and
•Higher variable incentive compensation costs.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A decrease in the ACL on uncollectible premiums receivable in Property & Casualty in 2021 compared to an increase in 2020 due to the economic impacts of COVID-19; and
•Lower staffing and other costs driven by the Company’s Hartford Next operational and transformation cost reduction plan.
Restructuring and other costs are flat due to a decrease in severance costs driven by higher than expected voluntary terminations, offset by costs associated with consultants and other expenses.
For further discussion of impacts resulting from the Hartford Next initiative, see MD&A - The Hartford's Operations, Operational Transformation and Cost Reduction Plan and Note 17 - Restructuring and Other Costs of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income tax expense increased primarily due to an increase in income before tax. For further discussion of income taxes, see Note 11 - Income Taxes of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Six months ended June 30,2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020
Net income available to common stockholders increased by $413 primarily driven by:
•A $349 before tax change from net realized capital losses in 2020 to net realized capital gains in 2021, primarily driven by changes in valuation and sales of equity securities in the 2020 period;
•An increase in net investment income of $292 before tax driven by higher returns on limited partnerships and other alternative investments;
•An improvement in the P&C underlying combined ratio, including a reduction in COVID-19 incurred losses from $213 before tax in 2020 to $27 before tax in 2021 and a lower loss ratio before COVID-19 in Commercial Lines, partially offset by higher personal automobile claim frequency;
•Higher Commercial Lines earned premiums, including higher audit and endorsement premiums, and higher earned premiums in Group Benefits; and
•A decrease in allowance for credit losses on premiums receivable in 2021 compared to an increase in 2020.
These increases were partially offset by:
•Greater losses in group life resulting from a higher level of excess mortality, including deaths specifically attributable to COVID-19;
•A change from net favorable P&C prior accident year development in 2020 to net unfavorable in 2021, primarily driven by greater increases to reserves for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims and lower reserve decreases for catastrophes in the 2021 period; and
•Lower income from the retained Talcott Resolution investment, which was divested on June 30, 2021.

REVENUE
Earned Premiums
[1] For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was $9 of earned premiums recorded in Corporate other revenue.
Earned premiums increased primarily due to:
•An increase in Property and Casualty reflecting a 4% increase in Commercial Lines with Personal Lines flat to the prior year as the effect of non-renewals outpacing new business in Personal Lines was partially offset by the effect of $81 in COVID-related premium credits in 2020. Contributing to the increase in Commercial Lines was the
65

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
effect of higher audit and endorsement premiums given the economic recovery in 2021; and
•Group Benefits earned premium was up 1% year over year as an increase in group disability and higher supplemental health product premiums were partially offset by the effect of buyout premium in the 2020 period.
Fee income increased driven by Hartford Funds as a result of higher daily average assets under management due to an increase in equity market levels and net inflows.
Other revenues decreased by $67, primarily driven by lower income of $75 from the retained Talcott Resolution investment, which was divested on June 30, 2021, slightly offset by an increase in Commercial Lines servicing revenue.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income increased primarily due to:
•Greater income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments primarily driven by higher valuations and sales of underlying investments within private equity funds;
•A higher level of invested assets;
•Greater income from non-routine income items, including make-whole payments and yield adjustments on prepayable securities;
•A higher return on equity fund investments resulting from the increase in equity market levels; and
•Partially offset by a lower yield on fixed maturity investments resulting from reinvesting at lower rates and a lower yield on floating rate investments.
Net realized capital gains (losses) increased primarily driven by:
•Gains on equity securities in 2021 driven by appreciation in value compared to losses on equity securities in 2020 driven by depreciation in value and realized losses upon sales in the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by net
realized gains upon termination of derivatives used to hedge against a decline in equity market levels;
•A net reduction in ACL on mortgages and fixed maturities in 2021 due to an improved economic outlook and valuation increases of corporate securities, compared to increases in the ACL on mortgage loans and fixed maturities in 2020; and
•A $46 before tax net realized capital gain in 2021 resulting from sale of the Company's 9.7% retained interest in Talcott Resolution.
These improvements were partially offset by:
•Lower net realized capital gains on sales of fixed maturity securities;
•Gains in 2020 on interest rate derivatives; and
•Losses in 2021 related to the pending sale of the Continental Europe Operations.

BENEFITS, LOSSES AND EXPENSES
Losses and LAE Incurred for P&C
Benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses increased due to:
•An increase in incurred losses for Property & Casualty which was driven by:
–A change of $325 in P&C net prior accident year reserve development. Prior accident year reserve development in the 2021 period was a net unfavorable $80 before tax, driven by reserve increases for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims, primarily to reflect claims made against the Boy Scouts of America ("BSA"). Apart from these reserve increases, prior accident year reserve development in the 2021 period primarily included reserve decreases for catastrophes, workers' compensation, package business, personal automobile, commercial property, and bond, as well as $45 before tax of adverse development for Navigators related to 2018 and prior accident years. While the Navigators’ reserve development has been economically ceded to NICO, the Company recognized a deferred gain under retroactive reinsurance accounting. Prior accident year reserve development in 2020 was a favorable $245 before tax, driven by $413 of reserve reductions related to catastrophes, including decreases in estimated losses arising from wind and hail events in 2018 and 2019 and from the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires, including a $289 before tax subrogation benefit from PG&E. Apart from catastrophes, reserve development in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily included a $102 before tax reserve increase for sexual molestation and abuse claims and $83 before tax of adverse development for Navigators related to 2018 and prior accident years, for which the Company recognized a deferred gain. For further discussion, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance;
Losses and LAE Incurred for Group Benefits
–An increase in current accident year catastrophe losses of $20, before tax. Catastrophe losses in the 2021 period were driven by $181 from February winter storms primarily in the South, with the remainder from various tornado, wind and hail events, mostly concentrated in Texas, the Southeast and along the Pacific Coast. The $181 of losses from the February winter storms is net of a $62 reinsurance recoverable under the Company's per occurrence catastrophe treaty that covers 70% of up to $250 in losses in excess of $100 on catastrophe events occurring within a 7-day period other than from earthquakes and named hurricanes and tropical storms, subject to a $50 annual aggregate deductible. Catastrophe losses in 2020 were primarily from the civil unrest that began in late May 2020 and from tornado, wind and hail events in the South, Midwest and Great Plains. For additional information, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance; and
–Partially offset by a decrease in Property & Casualty current accident year ("CAY") loss and loss adjustment expenses before catastrophes primarily due to a $186 decrease in COVID-19 incurred losses, and lower current accident year loss ratios before COVID-19 in global specialty, workers’ compensation and general liability, partially offset by higher personal automobile claim frequency, higher non-catastrophe property losses and the effect of higher earned premiums.
•An increase in Group Benefits of $175 driven by higher mortality in group life, primarily caused by $210 of direct and indirect claims from COVID-19 in first six months of 2021, as well as the 2020 period benefiting from favorable mortality emergence on prior incurral years, partially offset by a higher New York Paid Family Leave risk assessment refund in the 2021 period.

Condition, Results of Operations and Liquidity section of this MD&A.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs decreased from the prior year period due primarily to reductions in Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, and Group Benefits, with the decrease in Commercial Lines due to lower average commissions in Commercial Lines despite higher earned premiums.
Insurance operating costs and other expenses increased due to:
•Increased AARP direct marketing costs in Personal Lines, increased costs to handle the volume of excess mortality claims and higher variable costs of the Hartford Funds business due to higher daily average assets under management;
•Legal and consulting costs associated with the unsolicited proposals from Chubb Limited (“Chubb”) to acquire the Company; and
•Higher variable incentive compensation costs.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A decrease in the ACL on uncollectible premiums receivable in Property & Casualty and Group Benefits in 2021 compared to an increase in 2020 due to the economic impacts of COVID-19; and
•Lower staffing and other costs driven by the Company’s Hartford Next operational and transformation cost reduction plan.
Restructuring and other costs are due to the Company's Hartford Next operational transformation and cost reduction plan which includes professional fees and IT costs to retire applications.
For further discussion of impacts resulting from the Hartford Next initiative, see MD&A - The Hartford's Operations, The Hartford's Operations, Operational Transformation and Cost Reduction Plan and Note 17 - Restructuring and Other Costs of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income tax expense increased primarily due to an increase in income before tax.
For further discussion of income taxes, see Note 11 - Income Taxes of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Limited partnerships and other alternative investments increased primarily driven by increased valuations and additional investments in real estate joint ventures.
Mortgage loans increased largely due to funding of industrial, retail, and multifamily commercial whole loans.
Equity Securities, at fair value increased due to appreciation in value due to higher equity market levels and net purchases.
Fixed maturities, AFS decreased primarily due to a decrease in valuations due to higher interest rates, partially offset by tighter credit spreads.

Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020
Total net investment income increased primarily due to:
•Greater income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments primarily driven by higher valuations and sales of underlying investments within private equity funds;
•A higher level of invested assets; and
•Partially offset by a lower yield on fixed maturities resulting from reinvesting at lower rates and a lower yield on floating rate investments.
Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020
Total net investment income increased primarily due to:
•Greater income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments primarily driven by higher valuations and sales of underlying investments within private equity funds;
•A higher level of invested assets;
•Greater income from non-routine items, including make-whole premiums and prepayment speed adjustments on securitized assets;
•A higher return on equity fund investments within Other resulting from an increase in equity market levels; and
•Partially offset by a lower yield on fixed maturities resulting from reinvesting at lower rates and a lower yield on floating rate investments.
Annualized net investment income yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments and non-routine items on fixed maturities, which include income items such as make-whole payments and prepayment fees, was down primarily due to lower reinvestment rates.
Average reinvestment rate, on fixed maturities and mortgage loans, excluding certain U.S. Treasury securities, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, were 2.5% and 2.4%, respectively, which were below the average yield of sales and maturities of 2.9% and 2.9%, respectively. Average reinvestment rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, were 2.7% and 2.8%, respectively, which were below the average yield of sales and maturities of 3.6% and 3.5%, respectively.
For the 2021 calendar year, we expect the annualized net investment income yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments and non-routine items on fixed maturities, to be lower than the portfolio yield earned in 2020, due to a lower yield on short-term investments and lower reinvestment rates. The estimated impact on net investment income yield is subject to change due to evolving market conditions and active portfolio management.

For the same periods, also includes a gain of $46 on the sale of Talcott Resolution, and, an additional loss of $(19) and $(18) on the pending sale of Continental Europe Operations, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, includes gains (losses) from transactional foreign currency revaluation of $0 and $10, respectively, and gains (losses) on non-qualifying derivatives of $7 and $99, respectively.
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021
Gross gains and losses on sales were primarily due to an overall reduction to corporate securities and tax-exempt municipals, in addition to sales of U.S. treasuries for duration management.
Equity securities net gains were primarily driven by appreciation in value due to higher equity market levels.
Other, net gains and losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, included a gain of $46 on the sale of the Company's 9.7% retained interest in Talcott Resolution, and a loss of $19 and $18, respectively, related to the pending sale of the Company's Continental Europe Operations, which the Company agreed to sell in September of 2020. Also included for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 was a loss of $32 on interest rate derivatives driven by a decrease in interest rates.
Three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Gross gains and losses on sales were primarily driven by sales of U.S. treasury securities for duration and/or liquidity management and issuer-specific sales of corporate securities.
Equity securities net gains for the three month period ended June 30, 2020 were primarily driven by appreciation in value due to higher equity market levels. For the six month period ended June 30, 2020, net losses were driven by valuation decreases due to the decline in equity market levels in the first quarter and losses incurred on sales across multiple issuers as the Company reduced its exposure to equity securities.
Other, net gains for the six month period were primarily due to $75 of realized gains on terminated derivatives used to hedge against a decline in equity market levels and $21 of gains on interest rate derivatives due to a decline in interest rates.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ, and in the past have differed, from those estimates.
The Company has identified the following estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:
•property and casualty insurance product reserves, net of reinsurance;
•group benefit long-term disability ("LTD") reserves, net of reinsurance;
•evaluation of goodwill for impairment;
•valuation of investments and derivative instruments including evaluation of credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS and ACL on mortgage loans; and
•contingencies relating to corporate litigation and regulatory matters.
Certain of these estimates are particularly sensitive to market conditions, and deterioration and/or volatility in the worldwide debt or equity markets could have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In developing these estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change as facts and circumstances develop. Although variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the

amounts provided are appropriate based upon the facts available upon compilation of the financial statements.
The Company’s critical accounting estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7 MD&A in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report. In addition, Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this section to assist with obtaining an understanding of the underlying accounting policies related to these estimates. The following discussion updates certain of the Company’s critical accounting estimates as of June 30, 2021.
|PROPERTY & CASUALTY INSURANCE PRODUCT RESERVES, NET OF REINSURANCE
P&C Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves, Net of Reinsurance, by Segment as of June 30, 2021
Based on the results of the quarterly reserve review process, the Company determines the appropriate reserve adjustments, if any, to record. Recorded reserve estimates are adjusted after consideration of numerous factors, including but not limited to, the magnitude of the difference between the actuarial indication and the recorded reserves, improvement or deterioration of actuarial indications in the period, the maturity of the accident year, trends observed over the recent past and the level of volatility within a particular line of business. In general, adjustments are made more quickly to more mature accident years and less volatile lines of business. Such adjustments of reserves are referred to as “prior accident year development”. Increases in previous estimates of ultimate loss costs are referred to as either an increase in prior accident year reserves or as unfavorable reserve development. Decreases in previous estimates of ultimate loss costs are referred to as either a decrease in prior accident year reserves or as favorable reserve development. Reserve development can influence the comparability of year over year underwriting results and is set forth in the paragraphs and tables that follow.

Net (Loss) Income
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 improved from a net loss for the prior year period primarily due to a change from an underwriting loss to an underwriting gain and an increase in net investment income, partially offset by a decrease in net realized capital gains.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased primarily due to a change from an underwriting loss to an underwriting gain, higher net investment income and a change from net realized capital losses to net realized capital gains. For further discussion of investment results, see MD&A - Investment Results.
Underwriting Gain (Loss)
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Underwriting gain for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to an underwriting loss for the prior year three month period primarily driven by $213 before-tax of COVID-19 incurred losses in second quarter 2020 compared with $3 before-tax of COVID-19 incurred losses in second quarter 2021, a change from net unfavorable prior accident year development in second quarter 2020 to net favorable prior accident year development in second quarter 2021, lower current accident year catastrophes and the impact of higher earned premium. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs decreased from the prior year period primarily due to lower average commissions despite higher earned premiums. Underwriting expenses increased in 2021 as higher incentive compensation costs were partially offset by cost savings from Hartford Next and a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on premiums receivable in the 2021 period compared to an increase in the 2020 period.
Underwriting gain for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to an underwriting loss for the prior year six month period primarily driven by $213 before-tax of COVID-19 incurred losses in the first half of 2020 compared with $27 before-tax of COVID-19 incurred losses in the first half of 2021, the impact of higher earned premium and lower underwriting expenses, partially offset by higher current accident year catastrophes and higher net unfavorable prior accident year development in the current year period. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs decreased from the prior year period primarily due to lower average commissions despite higher earned premiums. Underwriting expenses decreased due to a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on premiums receivable in the 2021 period compared to an increase in the 2020 period and savings from Hartford Next initiatives, partially offset by higher incentive compensation costs.

Earned Premiums
[1]Other earned premiums of $10 and $11, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and 2021, respectively, and $21 and $22 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, is included in the total.
Written Premiums
[1]Other written premiums of $10 and $11, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and 2021, respectively, and $21 and $21 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, is included in the total.
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Earned premiums for the three and six month periods increased in 2021 due to written premium increases over the prior 12 months as well due to higher premiums from audits and endorsements, principally in workers’ compensation due to an increasing exposure base from higher payrolls as the economy recovers from the pandemic.
Written premiums for the three and six month periods increased in 2021 driven by growth in small commercial, middle & large commercial and global specialty across most lines of business.
The Company recognized renewal written pricing increases in all lines in second quarter 2021. In global specialty, our U.S. wholesale book achieved an approximate 16% renewal written price increase, led by excess casualty, property and automobile. Global specialty international lines achieved a 24% price increase, led by D&O. In small commercial, renewal written price increases were higher in 2021 than 2020, with workers' compensation pricing turning slightly positive in the second quarter of 2021 and with mid-single digit to high single-digit rate increases in most other lines. In middle market, pricing increases have moderated from 2020 levels, with high single-digit to low double-digit rate increases in most middle market lines other than workers’ compensation, which experienced low single-digit written pricing increases.
New business premium increased in 2021 in both the three and six month periods driven by growth in small commercial, led by increases in package business as well as growth in most middle & large commercial lines. Global specialty gross new business premium increased in both periods driven by wholesale and financial lines.
•Small commercial written premium increased in 2021 in both the three and six month periods driven by growth in all lines except auto, with the most growth in package business and workers’ compensation.
•Middle & large commercial written premium increased in 2021 in both the three and six month periods driven by growth in most lines of business, with the most growth in general industries, large and complex solutions and excess lines of business.
•Global specialty written premium increased in 2021 in both the three and six month periods driven by growth in U.S. wholesale, global reinsurance and financial lines.

Current Accident Year Loss and LAE Ratio before Catastrophes
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Current accident year loss and LAE ratio before catastrophes decreased in 2021 in both the three and six month periods primarily due to lower COVID-19 incurred losses in 2021. Excluding the impact of COVID-19 claims, the Company recognized lower loss ratios in global specialty, workers’ compensation and general liability, partially offset by higher non-catastrophe property losses that was partially driven by building cost inflation. The lower loss ratios in global specialty were largely the result of rate and underwriting actions to improve profitability in those lines and was driven by U.S. wholesale, global reinsurance and U.S. financial lines.
The three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included $213 before-tax of COVID-19 incurred losses driven by $141 in property, $35 in workers' compensation and $37 in financial and other lines. The three months ended June 30, 2021 included $3 before-tax of COVID-19 incurred losses, all within financial and other lines.
The six months ended June 30, 2021 included COVID-19 incurred losses of $27 before tax, including losses of $20 in workers’ compensation and $7 in financial and other lines.
Catastrophes and Unfavorable (Favorable) Prior Accident Year Development
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Current accident year catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included mostly tornado, wind and hail events, mainly concentrated in Texas and the Southeast.
Current accident year catastrophe losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 included losses from the civil unrest that took place in late May and June of 2020 as well as wind and hail events principally in the South, Midwest and Great Plains.
Current accident year catastrophe losses net of reinsurance for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included losses from February winter storms primarily in the South, with the remaining losses largely from tornado, wind and hail events, mostly concentrated in Texas, the Southeast and along the Pacific coast.
Current accident year catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily from the civil unrest and from tornado, wind and hail events in the South, Midwest and Great Plains.
Prior accident year development was net favorable for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and was net unfavorable for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. Reserve development in the 2021 periods included reserve decreases for catastrophes, workers' compensation, package business, commercial property and bond, partially offset by professional liability reserve increases related to Navigators Group on 2018 and prior accident years and, for the six month period only, an increase in general liability that included a reserve increase related to the settlement with Boy Scouts of America on sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims.
Net unfavorable reserve development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included reserve increases for general liability driven primarily by increases in reserves for sexual molestation and abuse claims, and increases in

automobile liability reserves, partially offset by reserve decreases for workers' compensation and catastrophes. Favorable development on prior year catastrophe reserves in the three and six month periods in 2020 was due to recognizing a $29 before tax subrogation benefit from a settlement with PG&E over certain of the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires and a reduction in estimated catastrophe losses from a number of wind and hail events that occurred in 2018 and 2019.
Prior accident year development in the three and six month periods of both 2021 and 2020 included reserve increases related to Navigators Group on 2018 and prior accident years that was economically ceded to NICO but for which the benefit was not recognized in earnings as it has been recorded as a deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance.

Net Income
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Net income decreased in both the three and six month periods, largely driven by a decrease in underwriting gain, partially offset by an increase in net investment income and, for the six month period, a change from net realized capital losses to net realized capital gains.
Underwriting Gain
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Underwriting gain decreased in both the three and six month periods, primarily due to lower net favorable prior accident year development and higher personal automobile claim frequency from greater miles driven, partially offset by lower current accident year catastrophe losses in the three month period.
Earned Premiums
Written Premiums
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Earned premiums increased in both the three and six month periods due to $81 of premium credits given to automobile policyholders in the second quarter of 2020 in recognition of shelter-in-place guidelines that reduced miles driven. Largely offsetting the effect of the premium credits in the 2020 period was the effect of a decline in written premium over the prior twelve months in both Agency channels and in AARP Direct.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Written premiums increased in automobile for both the three and six month periods due to the effect of the premium credits given in the 2020 period, largely offset by the effect of non-renewed premium exceeding new business. Written premium declined in homeowners in both the three and six month period due to the effect of non-renewed premium exceeding new business. Both new business and policy count retention, net of cancellations, declined in the three and six month periods with the decrease in policy count retention, net of cancellations, partly due to the suspension of cancellations for non-payment of premium in second quarter of 2020 resulting in elevated policy count retention, net of cancellations, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020.
Renewal written pricing increases were modestly lower in automobile for both the three and six months periods. Renewal written pricing increases for homeowners were higher in the 2021 periods in response to recent loss cost trends.
Policies in-force decreased in the 2021 period in both automobile and homeowners driven by not generating enough new business to offset the loss of non-renewed policies.
Current Accident Year Loss and LAE Ratio before Catastrophes
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Current accident year Loss and LAE ratio before catastrophes increased in automobile and homeowners for both the three and six month periods. The increase in automobile for both the three and six month periods was principally due to higher claim frequency with miles driven increasing as we emerge from the pandemic. The increase in homeowners was driven by an increase in non-weather non-catastrophe losses in the three month period and an increase in both weather and non-weather non-catastrophe losses in the six month period. Contributing to the increase in homeowners was higher severity driven by a greater number of large losses and an increase in rebuilding costs. Homeowners claim frequency decreased in the three month period and increased for the six month period.
Current Accident Year Catastrophes and Unfavorable (Favorable) Prior Accident Year Development
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Current accident year catastrophe losses decreased for the three month period and were flat for the six month period. Current accident year catastrophe losses for the second quarter of 2021 primarily included losses from wind and hail storms in Texas and the Southeast. Current accident year catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included February winter storms primarily in the South, as well as losses from wind and hail events in Texas, the Southeast and the Pacific Coast. Current accident year catastrophe losses for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 were primarily from tornado, wind and hail events in the South, Midwest and Great Plains.
Prior accident year development was less favorable in both the three and six month period, largely due to lower reserve reductions for prior year catastrophes. Prior accident year development was favorable for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, driven mostly by reserve reductions in prior year catastrophes including the benefit of higher expected subrogation recoveries related to the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires and, to a lesser extent, reserve reductions in automobile liability. Prior accident year development was favorable in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 due to a reduction in catastrophe loss reserves, including a $260 subrogation benefit from PG&E,

Net income
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Net income increased in the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher net investment income in the 2021 period and unfavorable prior accident year development in the 2020 period.
Net income decreased in the sixth months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to unfavorable prior accident year development in first quarter 2021, partially offset by higher net investment income and net realized capital gains in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Underwriting loss decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to unfavorable prior accident year development in the 2020 comparable period.
Underwriting loss increased in the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to unfavorable prior accident year development in first quarter 2021 driven by an increase in reserves for sexual molestation and sexual abuse claims, primarily on assumed reinsurance, partially offset by a reduction in the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance.

Net Income
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Net income increased from the second quarter of 2020 largely driven by an increase in net investment income, lower excess mortality losses related to COVID-19 and an increase in net realized capital gains, partially offset by a higher group disability loss ratio.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2021, net income decreased from the comparable period in 2020 largely driven by higher excess mortality losses related to COVID-19, partially offset by an increase in net investment income and a change from net realized capital losses to net realized capital gains.
Insurance operating costs and other expenses for both the three and six month periods were flat year over year as lower staffing and other costs due to the Hartford Next operational transformation and cost reduction program as well as the effect of an increase in the allowance for credit losses on premiums receivables in the 2020 period was offset by higher incentive compensation expense and increased costs to handle excess mortality claims.
Fully Insured Ongoing Premiums

Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Fully insured ongoing premiums increased primarily due to an increase in exposure on existing accounts as our customers emerge from the pandemic, as well as strong persistency and sales.
Fully insured ongoing sales, excluding buyouts increased in all employer group market segments for the six month period. For the three month period ended June 30, 2021, fully insured ongoing sales, excluding buyouts, decreased as the prior year period included two large National account sales.
Ratios
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Total loss ratio decreased 0.6 points for the three month period reflecting a lower group life loss ratio, partially offset by a
higher group disability loss ratio. The group life loss ratio decreased 2.3 points compared to prior year due to lower excess mortality partially offset by an increase in reserves for late reported retiree claims. Excess mortality recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $25, or 4.1 points, compared to $45, or 7.4 points, in the same prior year period. Included in the excess mortality estimate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 are estimated losses of $88, or 14.6 points, for the current quarter partially offset by favorable development of $63, or 10.4 points, on excess mortality estimates related to prior quarters, almost all of which relates to favorable development on first quarter 2021 claims. The disability loss ratio increased 1.6 points due to an increase in short-term disability claim incidence as the prior year period was more favorably impacted by fewer elective procedures during the onset of the pandemic and a decrease in estimated recoveries on prior incurral year long-term disability reserves. Also impacting the disability loss ratio was a higher New York Paid Family Leave risk assessment refund in second quarter 2021 as compared to second quarter 2020.
Total loss ratio increased 5.8 points for the six month period reflecting a higher group life loss ratio, partially offset by a lower group disability loss ratio. The group life loss ratio increased 15.7 points driven by a 13.7 point increase in excess mortality claims as well as the six month period ended June 30, 2020 benefiting from favorable mortality emergence on prior incurral years. For the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, excess mortality losses were $210 and $45, respectively. The group disability loss ratio decreased 0.7 points primarily due to a higher New York Paid Family Leave risk assessment refund in the 2021 period.
Expense ratio decreased for both the three and six month periods. Contributing to the decrease in the expense ratio was an increase in the allowance for credit losses on premiums receivable in the 2020 period, lower staffing and other costs as a result of the Hartford Next operational transformation and cost reduction program, and, for the six month period, the effect of higher premiums, partially offset by higher incentive compensation and increased costs to handle excess mortality claims.

Net Income
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Net income increased for the three month period primarily due to higher fee income as a result of an increase in daily average assets under management, partially offset by higher variable costs. For the six month period, net income increased primarily due to higher fee income and a change to net realized capital gains in 2021 from net realized capital losses in 2020, partially offset by higher variable costs and the effect of a $12 reduction in contingent consideration payable associated with the acquisition of Lattice that was recognized in first quarter
2020. Realized gains (losses) consist of changes in the market value of Company assets invested in some of the funds, which was driven by changes in equity markets.
Hartford Funds AUM
June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020
Hartford Funds AUM increased primarily due to net inflows and an increase in market values. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized net inflows on mutual fund and ETP of $3.2 billion, compared to net outflows of $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net Income (Loss)
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Net loss available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2021 compared to net income available to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2020 as a decrease in income from the Company’s retained equity interest in Talcott Resolution and an increase in operating costs and other expenses was partially offset by an increase in net realized capital gains. Net loss available to common stockholders increased in the six month period as a decrease in income from the Company’s retained equity interest in Talcott Resolution and an increase in operating costs and other expenses was partially offset by a change from net realized capital losses to net realized capital gains.
Income (loss) from the Company’s retained equity interest in Talcott Resolution was $(3) and $68, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and was $(11) and $64, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The increase in operating costs and other expenses for the three and six month periods was primarily driven by legal and consulting costs associated with the unsolicited proposals from Chubb Limited to acquire the Company, partially offset by lower consulting fees. Net realized capital gains in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included a $46 gain on sale of the Company’s 9.7% retained equity interest in Talcott Resolution.
Interest Expense
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
Interest expense was flat year over year for the three month period and decreased for the six month period primarily due to the repayment of our 5.5% senior notes in March of 2020.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility for risk oversight, as described more fully in our Proxy Statement, while management is tasked with the day-to-day management of the Company’s risks.
The Company manages and monitors risk through risk policies, controls and limits. At the senior management level, an Enterprise Risk and Capital Committee (“ERCC”) oversees the risk profile and risk management practices of the Company.
The Company's enterprise risk management ("ERM") function supports the ERCC and functional committees, and is tasked with, among other things:
•risk identification and assessment;
•the development of risk appetites, tolerances, and limits;
•risk monitoring; and
•internal and external risk reporting.
The Company categorizes its main risks as insurance risk, operational risk and financial risk. Insurance risk and financial risk are described in more detail below. Operational risk, including cybersecurity and business resiliency response to COVID-19, and specific risk tolerances for natural catastrophes and pandemic risk are described in the ERM section of the MD&A in The Hartford’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
|INSURANCE RISK
Insurance risk is the risk of losses of both a catastrophic and non-catastrophic nature on the P&C and Group Benefits products the Company has sold. Catastrophe insurance risk is the exposure arising from both natural (e.g., weather, earthquakes, wildfires, pandemics) and man-made catastrophes (e.g., terrorism, cyber-attacks) that create a concentration or

aggregation of loss across the Company's insurance or asset portfolios.
Sources of Insurance Risk Non-catastrophe insurance risks exist within each of the Company's segments except Hartford Funds and include:
•Property- Risk of loss to personal or commercial property from automobile related accidents, weather, explosions, smoke, shaking, fire, theft, vandalism, inadequate installation, faulty equipment, collisions and falling objects, and/or machinery mechanical breakdown resulting in physical damage and other covered perils.
•Liability- Risk of loss from automobile related accidents, uninsured and underinsured drivers, lawsuits from accidents, defective products, breach of warranty, negligent acts by professional practitioners, environmental claims, latent exposures, fraud, coercion, forgery, failure to fulfill obligations per contract surety, liability from errors and omissions, losses from political and credit coverages, losses from derivative lawsuits, and other securities actions and covered perils.
•Mortality- Risk of loss from unexpected trends in insured deaths impacting timing of payouts from group life insurance, personal or commercial automobile related accidents, and death of employees or executives during the course of employment, while on disability, or while collecting workers compensation benefits.
•Morbidity- Risk of loss to an insured from illness incurred during the course of employment or illness from other covered perils.
•Disability- Risk of loss incurred from personal or commercial automobile related losses, accidents arising outside of the workplace, injuries or accidents incurred during the course of employment, or from equipment, with each loss resulting in short term or long-term disability payments.
•Longevity- Risk of loss from increased life expectancy trends among policyholders receiving long-term benefit payments.
•Cyber Insurance- Risk of loss to property, breach of data and business interruption from various types of cyber-attacks.
Catastrophe risk primarily arises in the property, automobile, workers' compensation, casualty, group life, and group disability lines of business.
Impact Non-catastrophe insurance risk can arise from unexpected loss experience, underpriced business and/or underestimation of loss reserves and can have significant effects on the Company’s earnings. Catastrophe insurance risk can arise from various unpredictable events and can have significant effects on the Company's earnings and may result in losses that could constrain its liquidity.
Management The Company's policies and procedures for managing these risks include disciplined underwriting protocols, exposure controls, sophisticated risk-based pricing, risk modeling, risk transfer, and capital management strategies. The
Company has established underwriting guidelines for both individual risks, including individual policy limits, and risks in the aggregate, including aggregate exposure limits by geographic zone and peril. The Company uses both internal and third-party models to estimate the potential loss resulting from various catastrophe events and the potential financial impact those events would have on the Company's financial position and results of operations across its businesses.
In addition, certain insurance products offered by The Hartford provide coverage for losses incurred due to cyber events and the Company has assessed and modeled how those products would respond to different events in order to manage its aggregate exposure to losses incurred under the insurance policies we sell. The Company models numerous deterministic scenarios including losses caused by malware, data breach, distributed denial of service attacks, intrusions of cloud environments and attacks of power grids.
Among specific risk tolerances set by the Company, risk limits are set for natural catastrophes, terrorism risk and pandemic risk.
Reinsurance as a Risk Management Strategy
The Company uses reinsurance to transfer certain risks to reinsurance companies based on specific geographic or risk concentrations. A variety of traditional reinsurance products are used as part of the Company's risk management strategy, including excess of loss occurrence-based products that reinsure property and workers' compensation exposures, and individual risk (including facultative reinsurance) or quota share arrangements, that reinsure losses from specific classes or lines of business. The Company has no significant finite risk contracts in place and the statutory surplus benefit from all such prior year contracts is immaterial. The Hartford also participates in governmentally administered reinsurance facilities such as the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (“TRIPRA”) and other reinsurance programs relating to particular risks or specific lines of business.
Reinsurance for Catastrophes- The Company utilizes various reinsurance programs to mitigate catastrophe losses including excess of loss occurrence-based treaties covering property and workers’ compensation, and an aggregate property catastrophe treaty as well as individual risk agreements (including facultative reinsurance) that reinsure losses from specific classes or lines of business. The aggregate property catastrophe treaty covers the aggregate of catastrophe events designated by the Property Claim Services office of Verisk and, for international business, net losses arising from two or more risks involved in the same loss occurrence totaling at least $500 thousand, in excess of a $700 retention. The occurrence-based property catastrophe treaties respond in excess of $100 per occurrence for all perils other than named storm and earthquake (subject to a $50 annual aggregate deductible). The Company has per risk and quota share reinsurance that would respond to certain COVID-19 related losses; however, communicable diseases are excluded from our per occurrence property catastrophe treaty, aggregate property treaty and workers' compensation catastrophe treaty that incepted on January 1, 2021.The Company has reinsurance in place to cover individual group life losses in excess of $1 per person.

Workers' Compensation Catastrophe Treaty for 1/1/2021 to 12/31/2021 |  |
Losses of $0 to $100 from one event | None | 100% retained
Losses of $100 to $450 from one event [5] | 80% of $350 in excess of $100 | 20% co-participation

[1] These treaties do not cover the assumed reinsurance business which purchases its own retrocessional coverage.
[2]In addition to the Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty, for Florida wind events, The Hartford has purchased the mandatory FHCF reinsurance for the annual period starting at July 1,2021. Retention and coverage varies by writing company. The writing company with the largest coverage under FHCF is Hartford Insurance Company of the Midwest, with coverage estimated at approximately $55 of per event losses in excess of a $24 retention (estimates are based on best available information at this time and are periodically updated as information is made available by Florida).
[3]Portions of this layer of coverage extend beyond a traditional one year term.
[4]The aggregate treaty is not limited to a single event; rather, it is designed to provide reinsurance protection for the aggregate of all catastrophe events (up to $350 per event), either designated by the Property Claim Services office of Verisk or, for international business, net losses arising from two or more risks involved in the same loss occurrence totaling at least $500 thousand. All catastrophe losses apply toward satisfying the $700 attachment point under the aggregate treaty.
[5]In addition to the limits shown, the workers' compensation reinsurance includes a non-catastrophe, industrial accident layer, providing coverage for 80% of $30 in per event losses in excess of a $20 retention.
[6]Named hurricanes and tropical storms are defined as any storm or storm system declared to be a hurricane or tropical storm by the US National Hurricane Center, US Weather Prediction Center, or their successor organizations (being divisions of the US National Weather Service).
In addition to the property catastrophe reinsurance coverage described in the above table, the Company has other reinsurance agreements that cover property catastrophe losses. The Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty, and Workers' Compensation Catastrophe Treaty include a provision to reinstate one limit in the event that a catastrophe loss exhausts limits on one or more layers under the treaties.
Reinsurance for Terrorism- For the risk of terrorism, private sector catastrophe reinsurance capacity is generally limited and largely unavailable for terrorism losses caused by nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attacks. As such, the Company's principal reinsurance protection against large-scale terrorist attacks is the coverage currently provided through TRIPRA to the end of 2027.
TRIPRA provides a backstop for insurance-related losses resulting from any “act of terrorism”, which is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General, for losses that exceed a threshold of industry losses of $200. Under the program, in any one calendar year, the federal government will pay a percentage of losses incurred from a certified act of terrorism after an insurer's losses exceed 20% of the Company's eligible direct commercial earned premiums of the prior calendar year up to a combined annual aggregate limit for the federal government and all insurers of $100 billion. The
percentage of losses paid by the federal government is 80%. The Company's estimated deductible under the program is $1.6 billion for 2021. If an act of terrorism or acts of terrorism result in covered losses exceeding the $100 billion annual industry aggregate limit, Congress would be responsible for determining how additional losses in excess of $100 billion will be paid.
Reinsurance for A&E and Navigators Group Reserve Development - The Company has two adverse development cover (“ADC”) reinsurance agreements in place, both of which are accounted for as retroactive reinsurance. One agreement covers substantially all A&E reserve development for 2016 and prior accident years (the “A&E ADC”) and the other covers substantially all reserve development of Navigators Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates for 2018 and prior accident years (“Navigators ADC”). For more information on the A&E ADC and the Navigators ADC, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in The Hartford's 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report and Note 9 - Reserve for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|FINANCIAL RISK
Financial risks include direct and indirect risks to the Company's financial objectives from events that impact financial market conditions and the value of financial assets. Some events may cause correlated movement in multiple risk factors. The primary sources of financial risks are the Company's invested assets.
Consistent with its risk appetite, the Company establishes financial risk limits to control potential loss on a U.S. GAAP, statutory, and economic basis. Exposures are actively monitored and managed, with risks mitigated where appropriate. The Company uses various risk management strategies, including limiting aggregation of risk, portfolio re-balancing and hedging with over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives with counterparties meeting the appropriate regulatory and due diligence requirements. Derivatives are utilized to achieve the following Company-approved objectives: hedging risk arising from interest rate, equity market, commodity market, credit spread and issuer default, price or currency exchange rate risk or volatility; managing liquidity; controlling transaction costs; and engaging in income generation covered call transactions and synthetic replication transactions. Derivative activities are monitored and evaluated by the Company’s compliance and risk management teams and reviewed by senior management. The Company identifies different categories of financial risk, including liquidity, credit, interest rate, equity, and foreign currency exchange.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk to current or prospective earnings or capital arising from the Company's inability or perceived inability to meet its contractual funding obligations as they come due.
Sources of Liquidity Risk Sources of liquidity risk include funding risk, company-specific liquidity risk and market liquidity risk resulting from differences in the amount and timing of sources and uses of cash as well as company-specific and general market conditions. Stressed market conditions may impact the ability to sell assets or otherwise transact business and may result in a significant loss in value.
Impact Inadequate capital resources and liquidity could negatively affect the Company’s overall financial strength and its ability to generate cash flows from its businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates, and raise new capital to meet operating and growth needs.
Management The Company has defined ongoing monitoring and reporting requirements to assess liquidity across the enterprise under both current and stressed market conditions. The Company measures and manages liquidity risk exposures and funding needs within prescribed limits across legal entities, taking into account legal, regulatory and operational limitations to the transferability of liquid assets among legal entities. The Company also monitors internal and external conditions, and identifies material risk changes and emerging risks that may impact operating cash flows or liquid assets. The liquidity requirements of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("HFSG Holding Company") have been and will continue to be met by the HFSG Holding Company's fixed maturities, short-term investments and cash, and dividends
from its subsidiaries, principally its insurance operations, as well as the issuance of common stock, debt or other capital securities and borrowings from its credit facilities as needed. The Company maintains multiple sources of contingent liquidity including a revolving credit facility, an intercompany liquidity agreement that allows for short-term advances of funds among the HFSG Holding Company and certain affiliates, and access to collateralized advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") for certain affiliates. The Company's CFO has primary responsibility for liquidity risk.
Refer to the Capital Resources & Liquidity section of MD&A for the discussion of what the Company is doing to manage liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Credit Risk and Counterparty Risk
Credit risk is the risk to earnings or capital due to uncertainty of an obligor’s or counterparty’s ability or willingness to meet its obligations in accordance with contractually agreed upon terms. Credit risk is comprised of three major factors: the risk of change in credit quality, or credit migration risk; the risk of default; and the risk of a change in value due to changes in credit spreads.
Sources of Credit Risk The majority of the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in its investment holdings and use of derivatives, but it is also present in the Company’s ceded reinsurance activities and various insurance products.
Impact A decline in creditworthiness is typically reflected as an increase in an investment’s credit spread and an associated decline in the investment's fair value, potentially resulting in recording an ACL and an increased probability of a realized loss upon sale. In certain instances, counterparties may default on their obligations and the Company may realize a loss on default. Premiums receivable, including premiums for retrospectively rated plans, reinsurance recoverable and deductible losses recoverable are also subject to credit risk based on the counterparty’s inability to pay.

Management The objective of the Company’s enterprise credit risk management strategy is to identify, quantify and manage credit risk in aggregate and to limit potential losses in accordance with the Company's credit risk management policy. The Company manages its credit risk by managing aggregations of risk, holding a diversified mix of issuers and counterparties across its investment, reinsurance and insurance portfolios and limiting exposure to any specific reinsurer or counterparty. Potential credit losses can be mitigated through diversification (e.g., geographic regions, asset types, industry sectors), hedging and the use of collateral to reduce net credit exposure.
The Company manages credit risk through the use of various surveillance, analyses and governance processes. The investment, derivatives and reinsurance areas have formal policies and procedures for counterparty approvals and authorizations, which establish criteria defining minimum levels of creditworthiness and financial stability for eligible counterparties. Potential investments are subject to underwriting

reviews and private securities are subject to management approval. Mitigation strategies vary across the three sources of credit risk, but may include:
•Investing in a portfolio of high-quality and diverse securities;
•Selling investments subject to credit risk;
•Hedging through use of credit default swaps;
•Clearing derivative transactions through central clearing houses that require daily variation margin;
•Entering into derivative and reinsurance contracts only with strong creditworthy institutions;
•Requiring collateral; and
•Non-renewing policies/contracts or reinsurance treaties.
The Company has developed credit exposure thresholds which are based upon counterparty ratings. Aggregate counterparty credit quality and exposure are monitored on a daily basis utilizing an enterprise-wide credit exposure information system that contains data on issuers, ratings, exposures, and credit limits. Exposures are tracked on a current and potential basis and aggregated by ultimate parent of the counterparty across investments, reinsurance receivables, insurance products with credit risk, and derivatives.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no investment exposure to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer or counterparty greater than 10% of the Company’s stockholders' equity, other than the U.S. government and certain U.S. government agencies. For further discussion of concentration of credit risk in the investment portfolio, see the Concentration of Credit Risk section in Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit Risk of Derivatives
The Company uses various derivative counterparties in executing its derivative transactions. The use of counterparties creates credit risk that the counterparty may not perform in accordance with the terms of the derivative transaction.
Downgrades to the credit ratings of the Company’s insurance operating companies may have adverse implications for its use of derivatives. In some cases, downgrades may give derivative counterparties for over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives and clearing brokers for OTC-cleared derivatives the right to cancel and settle outstanding derivative trades or require additional collateral to be posted. In addition, downgrades may result in counterparties and clearing brokers becoming unwilling to engage in or clear additional derivatives or may require additional collateralization before entering into any new trades.
The Company also has derivative counterparty exposure policies which limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures are generally quantified based on the prior business day’s net fair value, including income accruals, of all derivative positions transacted with a single counterparty for each separate legal entity. The Company enters into collateral arrangements in connection with its derivatives positions and collateral is pledged to or held by, or on behalf of, the Company to the extent the exposure is greater than zero, subject to minimum transfer thresholds. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred no losses on derivative instruments due to counterparty default. For further discussion,
see the Derivative Commitments section of Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Use of Credit Derivatives
The Company may also use credit default swaps to manage credit exposure or to assume credit risk to enhance yield.
Credit Risk Reduced Through Credit Derivatives
The Company uses credit derivatives to purchase credit protection with respect to a single entity or referenced index. The Company purchases credit protection through credit default swaps to economically hedge and manage credit risk of certain fixed maturity investments across multiple sectors of the investment portfolio.
Credit Risk Assumed Through Credit Derivatives
The Company also enters into credit default swaps that assume credit risk as part of replication transactions. Replication transactions are used as an economical means to synthetically replicate the characteristics and performance of assets that are permissible investments under the Company’s investment policies. These swaps primarily reference investment grade single corporate issuers and indexes.
For further information on credit derivatives, see Note 6 - Derivatives of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit Risk of Business Operations
The Company is subject to credit risk related to the Company's commercial business that is written with large deductible policies or retrospectively-rated plans. The Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected if a significant portion of such contract holders failed to reimburse the Company for the deductible amount or the retrospectively rated policyholders failed to pay additional premiums owed. While the Company attempts to manage the risks discussed above through underwriting, credit analysis, collateral requirements, provision for bad debt, and other oversight mechanisms, the Company’s efforts may not be successful.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of financial loss due to adverse changes in the value of assets and liabilities arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk encompasses exposures with respect to changes in the level of interest rates, the shape of the term structure of rates and the volatility of interest rates. Interest rate risk does not include exposure to changes in credit spreads.
Sources of Interest Rate Risk The Company has exposure to interest rate risk arising from investments in fixed maturities and commercial mortgage loans, issuances by the Company of debt securities, preferred stock and similar securities, discount rate assumptions associated with the Company’s claim reserves and pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations, and assets that support the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.
Impact Changes in interest rates from current levels can have both favorable and unfavorable effects for the Company.

Condition, Results of Operations and Liquidity section of this MD&A.
Management The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by constructing investment portfolios that seek to protect the Company from the economic impact associated with changes in interest rates by setting portfolio duration targets that are aligned with the duration of the liabilities that they support. The Company analyzes interest rate risk using various models including parametric models and cash flow simulation under various market scenarios of the liabilities and their supporting investment portfolios. Key metrics that the Company uses to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk inherent in its invested assets and the associated liabilities include duration, convexity and key rate duration.
The Company utilizes a variety of derivative instruments to mitigate interest rate risk associated with its investment portfolio or to hedge liabilities. Interest rate caps, floors, swaps, swaptions, and futures may be used to manage portfolio duration.
Equity Risk
Equity risk is the risk of financial loss due to changes in the value of global equities or equity indices.
Sources of Equity Risk The Company has exposure to equity risk from invested assets, assets that support the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, and fee income derived from Hartford Funds assets under management. In addition, up until June 30, 2021 the Company had equity exposure through a 9.7% ownership interest in Talcott Resolution. The sale of Talcott Resolution was completed on June 30, 2021, and the Company received a total of $217 in connection with the sale of its 9.7% ownership interest, resulting in a realized gain of $46.
Impact The investment portfolio is exposed to losses from market declines affecting equity securities and derivatives, which could negatively impact the Company's reported earnings. In addition, investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments generally have a level of correlation to domestic equity market levels and can expose the Company to losses in earnings if valuations decline; however, earnings impacts are recognized on a lag as results from private equity investments and other funds are generally reported on a three-month delay. For assets supporting pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, the Company may be required to make additional plan contributions if equity investments in the plan portfolios decline in value. Hartford Funds earnings are also significantly influenced by the U.S. and other equity markets. Generally, declines in equity markets will reduce the value of average daily assets under management and the amount of fee income generated from those assets. Increases in equity markets will generally have the inverse impact.
For a discussion of impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to the Impact of COVID-19 on Our Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Liquidity section of this MD&A.
Management The Company uses various approaches in managing its equity exposure, including limits on the proportion of assets invested in equities, diversification of the equity portfolio, and, at times, hedging of changes in equity indices. For assets supporting pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, the asset allocation mix is reviewed on a periodic basis. In order to minimize risk, the pension plans maintain a listing of permissible and prohibited investments and impose concentration limits and investment quality requirements on permissible investment options.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk of financial loss due to changes in the relative value between currencies.
Sources of Currency Risk The Company has foreign currency exchange risk in non-U.S. dollar denominated cash, fixed maturities, equities, and derivative instruments. In addition, the Company has non-U.S. subsidiaries, some with functional currencies other than U.S. dollar, and which transact business in multiple currencies resulting in assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Impact Changes in relative values between currencies can create variability in cash flows and realized or unrealized gains and losses on changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities.
Management The Company manages its foreign currency exchange risk primarily through asset-liability matching and through the use of derivative instruments. However, legal entity capital is invested in local currencies in order to satisfy regulatory requirements and to support local insurance operations. The foreign currency exposure of non-U.S. dollar denominated investments will most commonly be reduced through the sale of the assets or through hedges using foreign currency swaps and forwards.
Investment Portfolio Risk
The following table presents the Company’s fixed maturities, AFS, by credit quality. The credit ratings referenced throughout this section are based on availability and are generally the midpoint of the available ratings among Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used. Accrued interest receivable related to fixed maturities are recorded in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not included in the amortized cost or fair value of the fixed maturities. For further information refer to Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The fair value of fixed maturities, AFS decreased as compared to December 31, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in valuations due to higher interest rates, partially offset by tighter credit spreads.

[1]Includes securities with pools of loans issued by the Small Business Administration which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
The Company also has exposure to commercial mortgage loans. These loans are collateralized by real estate properties that are diversified both geographically throughout the United States and by property type. These commercial loans are originated by the Company as high quality whole loans, and the Company may sell participation interests in one or more loans to third parties. A loan participation interest represents a pro-rata share in interest and principal payments generated by the participated loan, and the relationship between the Company as loan originator, lead participant and servicer and the third party as a participant are governed by a participation agreement.
As of June 30, 2021, mortgage loans had an amortized cost of $4.9 billion and carrying value of $4.9 billion, with an ACL of $24. As of December 31, 2020, mortgage loans had an amortized cost of $4.5 billion and carrying value of $4.5 billion, with an ACL of $38. The decrease in the allowance is
attributable to improved economic scenarios.
The Company funded $636 of commercial mortgage loans with a weighted average loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio of 55% and a weighted average yield of 2.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company continues to originate commercial mortgage loans in high growth markets across the country focusing primarily on institutional-quality industrial, retail, and multi-family properties with strong LTV ratios. There were no mortgage loans held for sale as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

[1]Pre-refunded bonds are bonds for which an irrevocable trust containing sufficient U.S. treasury, agency, or other securities has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest.
[2]Leasing revenue bonds are generally the obligations of a financing authority established by the municipality that leases facilities back to a municipality. The notes are typically secured by lease payments made by the municipality that is leasing the facilities financed by the issue. Lease payments may be subject to annual appropriation by the municipality or the municipality may be obligated to appropriate general tax revenues to make lease payments.
As of June 30, 2021, the largest issuer concentrations were the New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority, the New York State Dormitory Authority, and the Pennsylvania State Turnpike Commission, which each comprised less than 3% of the municipal bond portfolio and were primarily comprised of general obligation and revenue bonds. As of December 31, 2020, the largest issuer concentrations were the New York State Dormitory Authority, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority, which each comprised less than 3% of the municipal bond portfolio and were primarily comprised of general obligation and revenue bonds. In total, municipal bonds make up 16% of the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio. While COVID-19 has had an impact on many municipal issuers, credit fundamentals in this sector have broadly stabilized due to an unprecedented influx of federal relief funds, a strong economic recovery in the second half of 2020 and thus far in 2021, as well as the development and rollout of highly effective vaccines.
Limited Partnerships and Other Alternative Investments
The following table presents the Company’s investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments which
include hedge funds, real estate funds, and private equity funds. Real estate funds consist of investments primarily in real estate joint ventures and, to a lesser extent, equity funds. Private equity funds primarily consist of investments in funds whose assets typically consist of a diversified pool of investments in small to mid-sized non-public businesses with high growth potential and strong owner sponsorship, as well as limited exposure to public markets.
Income or losses on investments in limited partnerships and alternative investments are recognized on a lag as results from private equity investments and other funds are generally reported on a three-month delay.

Fixed Maturities, AFS — Unrealized Loss Aging
The total gross unrealized losses were $57 as of June 30, 2021 and have remained relatively flat from December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, $53 of the gross unrealized losses were associated with fixed maturities, AFS depressed less than 20% of amortized cost. The remaining $4 of gross unrealized losses were associated with fixed maturities, AFS depressed greater than 20%, primarily related to commercial real estate securities that were purchased at tighter credit spreads and one foreign government security experiencing issuer-specific financial difficulties.
As part of the Company’s ongoing investment monitoring process, the Company has reviewed its fixed maturities, AFS in an unrealized loss position and concluded that these fixed maturities are temporarily depressed and are expected to recover in value as the investments approach maturity or as market spreads tighten. For these fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position where an ACL has not been recorded, the Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows are sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the investment. Furthermore, the Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell these Investments. For further information regarding the Company’s ACL analysis, see the Credit Losses on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Intent-to-Sell Impairments section below.

Credit Losses on Fixed Maturities, AFS and Intent-to-Sell Impairments
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021
There were no new additions to the ACL or improvements on issuers that had an ACL in prior periods recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2021. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net reversals of credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS of $4, including reversals of $6 and additions of $2. The reversals were primarily attributable to increases in the fair value of corporate issuers that had an ACL in prior periods, primarily related to a large regional and commercial aircraft lessor. Additions relate to new expected credit losses on a media/entertainment company. Unrealized losses on securities with an ACL recognized in other comprehensive income were less than $1 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. For further information, refer to Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
There were no intent-to-sell impairments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company incorporates its best estimate of future performance using internal assumptions and judgments that are informed by economic and industry specific trends, as well as our expectations with respect to security specific developments.
Future intent-to-sell impairments or credit losses may develop as the result of changes in our intent to sell specific securities that are in an unrealized loss position or if modeling assumptions, such as macroeconomic factors or security specific developments, change unfavorably from our current modeling assumptions, resulting in lower cash flow expectations. For a discussion of impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to the Impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity section of this MD&A.
Three and six months ended June 30, 2020
The Company recorded net credit losses on fixed maturities, AFS of $20 and $32 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020, were primarily attributable to one private regional and commercial aircraft lessor within corporate fixed maturities. In addition, for the six months ended June 2020, the losses include other corporate fixed maturities, mainly one cruise line issuer. Unrealized losses on securities with ACL recognized in other comprehensive income were $0 and $1 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Intent-to-sell impairments were $0 and $5 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, with impairments in the six month period primarily related to one corporate issuer in the energy sector and one issuer with exposure to India.
ACL on Mortgage Loans
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021
The Company reviews mortgage loans on a quarterly basis to estimate the ACL with changes in the ACL recorded in net realized capital gains and losses. Apart from an ACL recorded on individual mortgage loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company records an ACL on the pool of mortgage loans based on lifetime expected credit losses. For further information, refer to Note 5 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a decrease in the ACL on mortgage loans of $10 and $14, respectively. The decrease in the allowance was the result of improved economic scenarios. The Company did not record an ACL on any individual mortgage loans.
Three and six months ended June 30, 2020
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an increase in the ACL on mortgage loans of $22 and $24, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of giving increased weight to recession scenarios in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as lower estimated property values and operating income to better reflect current economic conditions. The Company did not record an ACL on any individual mortgage loans.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The following section discusses the overall financial strength of The Hartford and its insurance operations including their ability to generate cash flows from each of their business segments, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet operating and growth needs over the next twelve months.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

|SUMMARY OF CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Capital available to the holding company as of June 30, 2021:
•$1.7 billion in fixed maturities, short-term investments, investment sales receivable and cash at The HFSG Holding Company;
•A senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility that provides for borrowing capacity up to $750 of unsecured credit through March 29, 2023. As of June 30, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding; and
•An intercompany liquidity agreement that allows for short-term advances of funds among the HFSG Holding Company and certain affiliates of up to $2.0 billion for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding.

2021 expected dividends and other sources of capital:
The future payment of dividends from our subsidiaries is dependent on several factors including the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
•P&C - The Company's U.S. property and casualty insurance subsidiaries have dividend capacity of $1.7 billion for 2021, with $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion of net dividends expected in 2021, including $455 paid to HFSG Holding Company through June 30, 2021.
•Group Benefits - HLA has dividend capacity of $295 in 2021 with $250 to $295 of dividends expected in 2021, including $145 paid to HFSG Holding Company through June 30, 2021.
•Hartford Funds - HFSG Holding Company expects to receive $150 to $180 in dividends from Hartford Funds in 2021, including $78 received through June 30, 2021.
•As part of the sale of Talcott Resolution, which was completed on June 30, 2021, the Company received $217 of proceeds.

Expected liquidity requirements for the next twelve months as of June 30, 2021:
•$215 of interest on debt;
•$21 dividends on preferred stock, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors; and
•$495 of common stockholders' dividends, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and before share repurchases.

Equity repurchase program:
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 11 million common shares for $691 under the share repurchase program authorized in December 2020, which is effective through December 31, 2022. The share repurchase program was initially authorized at $1.5 billion and, in April 2021, the Company announced an increase in the share repurchase authorization to $2.5 billion, which remains effective until December 31, 2022. The Company expects to utilize $1.5 billion of this share repurchase authorization during 2021, subject to market conditions. During the period July 1, 2021 through July 27, 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 1.9 million common shares for $116.
The timing of any future repurchases will be dependent upon several factors, including the market price of the Company's securities, the Company's capital position, consideration of the effect of any repurchases on the Company's financial strength or credit ratings, the Company's blackout periods, and other considerations.

|LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("HFSG Holding Company")
The liquidity requirements of the holding company of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. will primarily be met by HFSG Holding Company's fixed maturities; short-term investments and cash; and dividends, principally from its subsidiaries.
The Company maintains sufficient liquidity and has a variety of contingent liquidity resources to manage liquidity across a range of economic scenarios. We continue to expect to successfully manage our liquidity throughout the pandemic.
The HFSG Holding Company expects to continue to receive dividends from its operating subsidiaries in the future and manages the capital and surplus in each of its operating subsidiaries to be sufficient under significant economic stress scenarios. Dividends from subsidiaries and other sources of funds at the Holding Company may be used to repurchase shares under the authorized share repurchase program at the discretion of management.
Under significant economic stress scenarios that could arise due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has the ability to meet short-term cash requirements, if needed, by borrowing under its revolving credit facility or by having its insurance subsidiaries take collateralized advances under a facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”). The Company could also choose to have its insurance subsidiaries sell certain highly liquid, high quality fixed maturities or the Company could issue debt in the public markets under its shelf registration. No borrowings or advances have occurred since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There are no current restrictions on the HFSG Holding Company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders.
For a discussion of restrictions on dividends to the HFSG Holding Company from its insurance subsidiaries, see the following "Dividends from Subsidiaries" discussion. For a discussion of potential restrictions on the HFSG Holding Company's ability to pay dividends, see the risk factor "Our ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to limitations" in Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
|DIVIDENDS FROM SUBSIDIARIES
Dividends to HFSG Holding Company from its insurance subsidiaries are restricted by insurance regulation. Upon the acquisition of Navigators Group, the Company’s principal insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Belgium.
The payment of dividends by Connecticut-domiciled insurers is limited under the insurance holding company laws of Connecticut. These laws require notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner for the declaration or payment of any dividend, which, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the insurer’s statutory policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) net income (or net gain from operations, if such company is a life insurance company) for the twelve-month period ending on the thirty-first day of December last preceding, in each case determined under statutory insurance accounting principles. In addition, if any dividend of a Connecticut-domiciled insurer exceeds the insurer’s earned surplus, it requires the prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner.
Property casualty insurers domiciled in New York, including Navigators Insurance Company ("NIC") and Navigators Specialty Insurance Company ("NSIC"), generally may not, without notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner, pay dividends out of earned surplus in any twelve‑month period that exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of the insurer’s statutory policyholders’ surplus as of the most recent financial statement on file, or (ii) 100% of its adjusted net investment income, as defined, for the same twelve month period.
The insurance holding company laws of the other jurisdictions in which The Hartford’s insurance subsidiaries are incorporated (or deemed commercially domiciled) generally contain similar (although in certain instances more restrictive) limitations on the payment of dividends. In addition to statutory limitations on paying dividends, the Company also takes other items into consideration when determining dividends from subsidiaries. These considerations include, but are not limited to, expected earnings and capitalization of the subsidiaries, regulatory capital requirements and liquidity requirements of the individual operating company.
Corporate members of Lloyd's syndicates may pay dividends to its parent to the extent of available profits that have been distributed from the syndicate in excess of the Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL") capital requirement. The FAL is determined based on the syndicate’s solvency capital requirement ("SCR") under the E.U.'s Solvency II capital adequacy model, the current regulatory framework governing UK domiciled insurers, plus a Lloyd’s specific economic capital assessment.
Insurers domiciled in the United Kingdom may pay dividends to their parent out of their statutory profits subject to restrictions imposed under U.K. Company law and Solvency II. Belgium domiciled insurers may only pay dividends if, at the end of their previous fiscal year, the total amount of their assets, as reduced by its provisions and debts, are in excess of certain minimum capital thresholds calculated under Belgian law.
Through the first six months of 2021, HFSG Holding Company received $678 of net dividends from its subsidiaries, including $145 from HLA, $78 from Hartford Funds and $455 from its U.S. P&C subsidiaries, excluding $50 of P&C dividends that were subsequently contributed to a P&C subsidiary and $25 of P&C dividends related to interest payments on an intercompany note owed by Hartford Holdings, Inc. ("HHI") to Hartford Fire Insurance Company.
Over the remainder of 2021, the Company anticipates receiving approximately $545 to $645 of net dividends from its U.S. P&C subsidiaries, $105 to $150 of dividends from HLA and $70 to $100 of dividends from Hartford Funds.
|OTHER SOURCES OF CAPITAL FOR THE HFSG HOLDING COMPANY
The Hartford endeavors to maintain a capital structure that provides financial and operational flexibility to its insurance subsidiaries, ratings that support its competitive position in the financial services marketplace (see the "Ratings" section below for further discussion), and stockholder returns. As a result, the

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Company may from time to time raise capital from the issuance of debt, common equity, preferred stock, equity-related debt or other capital securities and is continuously evaluating strategic opportunities. The issuance of debt, common equity, equity-related debt or other capital securities could result in the dilution of stockholder interests or reduced net income to common shareholders due to additional interest expense or preferred stock dividends.
Shelf Registrations
The Hartford filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the SEC") on May 17, 2019 that permits it to offer and sell debt and equity securities during the three-year life of the registration statement.
For further information regarding Shelf Registrations, see Note 14 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement in The Hartford's 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
Revolving Credit Facilities
The Company has a senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that provides up to $750 of unsecured credit through March 29, 2023. As of June 30, 2021, no borrowings were outstanding and no letters of credit were issued under the Credit Facility and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
Intercompany Liquidity Agreements
The Company has $2.0 billion available under an intercompany liquidity agreement that allows for short-term advances of funds among the HFSG Holding Company and certain affiliates of up to $2.0 billion for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. The Connecticut Department of Insurance ("CTDOI") granted approval for certain affiliated insurance companies that are parties to the agreement to treat receivables from a parent, including the HFSG Holding Company, as admitted assets for statutory accounting purposes.
As of June 30, 2021 there were no amounts outstanding at the HFSG Holding Company.
Collateralized Advances with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston
The Company’s subsidiaries, Hartford Fire Insurance Company (“Hartford Fire”) and Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (“HLA”), are members of the FHLBB. Membership allows these subsidiaries access to collateralized advances, which may be short- or long-term with fixed or variable rates. Advances may be used to support general corporate purposes, which would be presented as short- or long-term debt, or to earn incremental investment income, which would be presented in other liabilities consistent with other collateralized financing transactions. As of June 30, 2021 there were no advances outstanding.
For further information regarding collateralized advances with FHLBB, see Note 14 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
Lloyd's Letter of Credit Facilities
The Hartford has entered into a committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the "Club Facility") as well as a non-committed $25 credit facility with a lender (the "Bilateral Facility"). The Club Facility has two tranches with one
tranche extending a $104 commitment and the other tranche extending a £85 million ($117 as of June 30, 2021) commitment. As of June 30, 2021, letters of credit with an aggregate face amount of $104 and £83.5 million, or $115, were outstanding under the Club Facility and no letters of credit were outstanding under the Bilateral Facility.
Among other covenants, the Club Facility and Bilateral Facility contain financial covenants regarding The Hartford's consolidated net worth and financial leverage and that limit the amount of letters of credit that can support Funds and Lloyd's, consistent with Lloyd's requirements. As of June 30, 2021, The Hartford was in compliance with all financial covenants of both facilities.
For further information regarding Revolving Credit Facilities, see Note 14 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
|PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company does not have a 2021 required minimum funding contribution for the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and the funding requirements for all pension plans are expected to be immaterial. The Company has not determined whether, and to what extent, contributions may be made to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2021. The Company will monitor the funded status of the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan during 2021 to make this determination.
|DERIVATIVE COMMITMENTS
Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements contain provisions that are tied to the financial strength ratings, as set by nationally recognized statistical rating agencies, of the individual legal entity that entered into the derivative agreement. If the legal entity’s financial strength were to fall below certain ratings, the counterparties to the derivative agreements could demand either immediate and ongoing full collateralization or immediate termination and settlement of the outstanding net derivative positions transacted under each agreement. For further information, refer to Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of June 30, 2021, no derivative positions would be subject to immediate termination in the event of a downgrade of one level below the current financial strength ratings. This could change as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated.
|INSURANCE OPERATIONS
While subject to variability period to period, underwriting and investment cash flows continue to provide sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated demands over the next twelve months. For information about the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's cash flows see the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

the MD&A included in The Hartford’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
The principal sources of operating funds are premiums, fees earned from assets under management and investment income, while investing cash flows primarily originate from maturities and sales of invested assets. The primary uses of funds are to pay claims, claim adjustment expenses, commissions and other underwriting and insurance operating costs, to pay taxes, to purchase new investments and to make dividend payments to the HFSG Holding Company.
The Company’s insurance operations consist of property and casualty insurance products (collectively referred to as “Property & Casualty Operations”) and Group Benefits. The Company's insurance operations hold fixed maturity securities including a significant short-term investment position (securities with maturities of one year or less at the time of purchase) to meet liquidity needs. Liquidity requirements that are unable to be funded by the Company's insurance operations' short-term investments would be satisfied with current operating funds, including premiums or investing cash flows, which includes proceeds received through the sale of invested assets. A sale of invested assets could result in significant realized capital losses.
The following tables represent the fixed maturity holdings, including the aforementioned cash and short-term investments available to meet liquidity needs, for each of the Company’s insurance operations.

Property & Casualty

|OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND AGGREGATE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There have been no material changes to the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and aggregate contractual obligations since the filing of the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K Annual Report.
|CAPITALIZATION

Capital Structure

Total capitalization decreased $310, or 1%, as of June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 primarily due to share repurchases in the period and a decrease in AOCI, partially offset by net income in excess of stockholder dividends.

|CASH FLOW[1]

| Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2021 | 2020
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 1,597 |  | $ | 1,267 |
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities | $ | (579) |  | $ | 215 |
Net cash used for financing activities | $ | (933) |  | $ | (1,327) |
Cash and restricted cash– end of period | $ | 308 |  | $ | 372 |

[1] Cash activities in 2021 include cash flows related to Continental Europe Operations classified as held for sale beginning in the third quarter of 2020. See Note 16 - Business Disposition of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of this transaction.
Cash provided by operating activities increased in 2021 as compared to the prior year period primarily driven by a decline in P&C losses and loss adjustment expenses paid, an increase in Commercial Lines premiums received and the impact of Personal Lines premium refunds in the 2020 period, and lower operating expenses paid including lower payroll and employee related expenditures. Positive cash flow impacts were partially offset by an increase in income taxes paid and an increase in Group Benefits loss and loss adjustment expenses paid.
Cash provided by (used for) investing activities changed from net inflows in 2020 to net outflows in 2021 as a result of a decrease from net proceeds to net payments for equity securities and derivatives, and an increase in net payments for mortgage loans, partially offset by a decrease in net payments for short term investments and consideration received from the sale of the Company's equity interest in Talcott Resolution.
Cash used for financing activities decreased primarily due to debt repayments in the 2020 period, and a decrease in cash used for securities lending transactions partially offset by an increase in share repurchases in 2021.
Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021 has been adequate to meet liquidity requirements.
|EQUITY MARKETS

|RATINGS
Ratings are an important factor in establishing a competitive position in the insurance marketplace and impact the Company's ability to access financing and its cost of borrowing. There can be no assurance that the Company’s ratings will continue for any given period of time, or that they will not be changed. In the event the Company’s ratings are downgraded,
the Company’s competitive position, ability to access financing, and its cost of borrowing, may be adversely impacted.
On July 21, 2021, Moody's upgraded the insurance financial strength rating of HLA to A1 from A2. The upgrade reflects HLA’s leading market position in the group benefits and disability business, its distribution capabilities and consistent profitability, as well as implicit support from The Hartford.

Insurance Financial Strength Ratings as of July 27, 2021
| A.M. Best | Standard & Poor’s | Moody’s
Hartford Fire Insurance Company | A+ | A+ | A1
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company | A+ | A+ | A1
Navigators Insurance Company | A+ | A | Not Rated
Other Ratings: |  |  |
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.: |  |  |
Senior debt | a- | BBB+ | Baa1

These ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of The Hartford's securities and they may be revised or revoked at any time at the sole discretion of the rating organization. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating. The system and number of rating categories can vary across rating agencies.
Among other factors, rating agencies consider the level of statutory capital and surplus of our U.S. insurance subsidiaries as well as the level of a measure of GAAP capital held by the Company in determining the Company's financial strength and credit ratings. Rating agencies may implement changes to their capital formulas that have the effect of increasing the amount of capital we must hold in order to maintain our current ratings. See Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

|CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
For a discussion regarding The Hartford’s legal proceedings, see the information contained in Note 12 -Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Legislative and Regulatory Developments
COVID-19 Global Pandemic
State and federal retroactive business interruption coverage and other insurance regulatory relief initiatives-
State and federal lawmakers are continuing to consider legislation and regulation in response to COVID-19. There have been proposals to impose retroactive coverage of COVID-19 claims under existing business interruption coverage provisions. If such proposals were enacted, they could represent a material exposure for the Company. Further, some states have adopted, or are considering incorporating, a presumption that if certain workers become infected with COVID-19, such infection would constitute an occupational disease triggering workers’ compensation coverage. In addition, state insurance regulators, including California, New Jersey and New York, have encouraged (and in some cases required) insurers to offer immediate relief to policyholders including refunding and offering discounts for drivers, incorporating flexible payment solutions for families, individuals, and businesses, providing additional time to make payments, waiving insurance premium late fees, pausing cancellation of coverage for personal and commercial policies due to non-payment and policy expiration, and suspending personal automobile exclusions for restaurant employees who are transitioning to meal delivery services using their personal automobile policy as coverage. The Hartford offered consumer financial relief including a 15 percent refund on policyholders’ April and May 2020 personal automobile insurance premiums, waived late payments fees for a period of time for business and personal insurance customers and temporarily suspended policy cancellations for policyholders of our Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and Group Benefits segments. As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues, regulators may require us to or we may elect to provide additional consumer and/or business financial relief. We may also see this manifest in the review and approval of new rate
filings, with regulators applying heightened scrutiny even when rate reductions are proposed. The duration and scope of such regulatory/Company actions are uncertain, and the impacts of such actions could adversely affect the Company’s insurance business.
Federal pandemic risk insurance- Congress is considering possible action for future pandemic risk insurance coverage through a risk sharing mechanism between insurers and the federal government. Timing for any Congressional action with respect to these efforts is uncertain at this time. If such a program were to be enacted, it could represent a significant obligation for the company in terms of deductible and co-share obligations.
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021- On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. The comprehensive bill includes provisions on taxes, healthcare, extends unemployment benefits, direct payments, state and local funding and other issues. The American Rescue Plan also directed billions of dollars towards the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and Targeted Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance payments to support small businesses across the nation. Additionally, the new law directed $28.6 billion for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund for industry-focused grants. On March 30, 2021, President Biden signed the PPP Extension Act of 2021 which set a new application deadline of May 31, allowing the Small Business Administration (SBA) to continue processing applications for up to 30 days past the May 31 deadline.
Federal emergency leave legislation- On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act ("FFCRA") was signed into law by the President, and was effective from April 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. This legislation included a number of funding provisions and worker protections including mandated emergency paid sick leave and paid family and medical leave programs. For private employers with fewer than 500 employees, and most public employers, new programs were put in place to guarantee individuals 10 days of paid sick leave, and up to 10 weeks of paid family and medical leave to deal directly with COVID-19. Eligible employers have access to a tax credit to reimburse for costs related to the emergency leave programs. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 was signed into law and included a bipartisan COVID-19 relief bill. Although the mandatory paid leave provisions from the FFCRA expired on December 31, 2020, the new law extended
109

Table of Contents |  | Index to MD&A

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FFCRA tax credits through March 31, 2021, for covered employers that voluntarily continue to offer paid leave under the FFCRA framework. As part of the American Rescue Plan, Congress has once again extended certain FFCRA refundable tax credits between April 1 and September 30, 2021, for covered employers who voluntarily offer emergency paid leave for reasons described under FFCRA. The American Rescue Plan also expands the allowable leaves for purposes of qualifying for the tax credit. The Hartford is providing support for the administration of the family and medical leave component of these voluntary company FFCRA-type leaves for our Group Benefits customers. Congress also approved a $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. The bill, signed into law on March 27, 2020, focused on providing financial support for small businesses, individuals, emergency workers, airlines and other industries of national security. The CARES Act included several technical corrections to the emergency leave programs and created advance refunding credits, which allow the U.S. Treasury to develop regulations or guidance to permit advancement of the tax credit for both the emergency paid sick leave and paid family and medical leave. We are closely monitoring further Congressional action on paid leave legislation, the timing of which is unclear at this time.
Federal tax legislation- In response to the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, Congress, various states and other global jurisdictions have passed numerous pieces of legislation which contain a number of changes to the tax laws in order to aid impacted businesses and individuals, as well as provide economic stimulus. The Company deferred the employer’s portion of the Social Security tax on wages from March 27, 2020 to year-end 2020. Such deferred amounts would be due and payable over a two-year period, 50% by December 31, 2021 and 50% by December 31, 2022. The U.S. Treasury and IRS continue to develop guidance implementing these new tax law provisions, and Congress may consider additional technical corrections to these laws. Tax proposals and regulatory initiatives which have been or are being considered by Congress and/or the U.S. Treasury Department could have a material effect on the Company and its insurance businesses. The nature and timing of any Congressional or regulatory action with respect to any such efforts is unclear.
American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan
On March 31, 2021, President Biden unveiled a key initiative of his Administration, the American Jobs Plan, a broad $2.2 trillion, 8-year infrastructure plan. The President’s plan outlines funding for several traditional infrastructure verticals such as roads, bridges, and highways, but also seeks to prioritize and incentivize clean energy and pursue policy options that promote equity and connect disadvantaged communities. To offset some of the plan’s costs, the Biden Administration proposed a series of tax changes including raising the corporate tax rate to 28%, eliminating subsidies and foreign tax credits for fossil fuel companies, championing a new 15% global minimum tax for multinational corporations, enacting a minimum tax on large corporations book income, and other tax changes to prevent U.S. corporations from inverting or claiming tax havens as their residence. On April 28, 2021, the Biden Administration released a second proposal titled the “American Families Plan.” The roughly $1.8 trillion proposal seeks to address “social infrastructure” including national paid family and medical leave benefits, child care, education, and nutrition. To cover costs, the White House proposes raising taxes on wealthier individuals by
raising the top tax rate to 39.6%, raising capital gains taxes for taxpayers earning at least $1 per year, and bolstering funding for IRS enforcement. Final action on infrastructure spending remains in flux as President Biden works with Congress to strike a bipartisan deal. The prospects for these proposals remain unclear, even when considering procedural devices that could be used to move the legislation through Congress with only a simple majority vote. Congressional action related to Paid Family and Medical Leave policy could impact Group Benefits product offerings. While changes to corporate taxation, including a higher corporate income tax rate, would adversely affect the Company, the impact of other provisions on the Company’s operations and ability to attract new business and retain existing customers is unclear.
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the "Affordable Care Act")
It is unclear whether the Administration, Congress or the courts will seek to reverse, amend or alter the ongoing operation of the Affordable Care Act ("ACA"). If such actions were to occur, they may have an impact on various aspects of our business, including our insurance businesses. It is unclear what an amended ACA would entail, and to what extent there may be a transition period for the phase out of the ACA. The impact to The Hartford as an employer would be consistent with other large employers. The Hartford’s core business does not involve the issuance of health insurance, and we have not observed any material impacts on the Company’s workers’ compensation business or group benefits business from the enactment of the ACA. We will continue to monitor the impact of the ACA and any reforms on consumer, broker and medical provider behavior for leading indicators of changes in medical costs or loss payments primarily on the Company's workers' compensation and disability liabilities.
US and International Tax Reform
At the end of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA") was enacted. The TCJA made significant reforms to the U.S. tax code. The major areas of interest to the Company included the reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and the repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax ("AMT") and the refunding of AMT credits. As part of the “Made in America Tax Plan,” a corporate tax rate increase from 21% to 28% and several international tax changes were outlined that could be used to fund a portion of proposed infrastructure spending. Tax proposals and regulatory initiatives which have been or are being considered by Congress and/or the U.S. Treasury Department could have a material effect on the Company and its insurance businesses. The nature and timing of any Congressional or regulatory action with respect to any such efforts is unclear. For additional information on risks to the Company related to TCJA, see the risk factor entitled "Changes in federal or state tax laws could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity" under "Risk Factors" in Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In June 2021, the G7 finance ministers released a communique supporting two proposals: 1) a 15 percent global minimum tax; and 2) an agreement to allocate to market countries the right to tax the largest and most profitable multinational enterprises on at least 20% of any profit that exceeds a 10% margin. After the G20 meetings which concluded on July 10, 2021, over 130 countries in the OECD/G20 agreed in principle to the two-pillar solution to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the economy. Key components of the agreement

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
are described in the OECD statement including the aspects noted above. Although the plan seemingly has broad political support, countries must still negotiate and agree on key details and implementation issues. Proponents hope to finalize the formal agreement in October, 2021 and then work on developing an implementation package over the course of 2022, targeting implementation in 2023. Given that Ireland and other historically lower tax rate countries remain opposed, the final outcome is far from certain.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER
The most recent share repurchase authorization, effective until December 31, 2022, was approved in December 2020 and was increased by the Board of Directors from $1.5 billion to $2.5
billion in April 2021. During the period from July 1, 2021 to July 27, 2021, the Company repurchased 1.9 million shares for $116. The timing of any repurchase of shares under the remaining equity repurchase authorization is dependent upon several factors, including the market price of the Company's securities, the Company's capital position, consideration of the effect of any repurchases on the Company's financial strength or credit ratings, the Company's blackout periods, and other considerations.
