The insurance segment’s net favorable development of $7.3 million, or 0.7 loss ratio points, for the 2022 first quarter consisted of $19.0 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines and $11.7 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed and long-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines reflected $18.6 million of favorable development in lenders products, primarily from the 2021 accident year (i.e., the year in which a loss occurred). Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines included $7.2 million of adverse development in professional liability business, primarily from the 2010 to 2013, 2015 and 2019 accident years, and $6.0 million of adverse development in contract binding business, across most accident years, partially offset by favorable development in program business of $5.0 million, primarily from the 2020 accident year.

Net favorable development in medium-tailed lines included $10.7 million of favorable development in marine and aviation lines, across most underwriting years. Adverse development in long-tailed lines reflected an increase in casualty reserves, primarily from the 2021 underwriting year, which was partially offset by favorable development in earlier underwriting years. The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $102.1 million, or 35.3 loss ratio points, for the 2022 first quarter, primarily reflecting the impact of lower new delinquencies and favorable cure activity related to the U.S. first lien portfolio primarily from the 2020 accident year. The Company’s credit risk transfer, international, second lien and student loan business also contributed to the favorable development. 2021 First Quarter During the 2021 first quarter, the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of $41.7 million, which consisted of $4.1 million from the insurance segment, $26.8 million from the reinsurance segment and $10.9 million from the mortgage segment, partially offset by $0.1 million unfavorable from the ‘other’ segment.

Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines included $10.8 million of adverse development in program business, primarily from the 2016 to 2020 accident years, $6.0 million of adverse development in professional liability business, primarily from the 2019 accident year, and $5.0 million of adverse development in surety, primarily from the 2019 accident year. The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of $26.8 million, or 4.2 loss ratio points, for the 2021 first quarter consisted of net favorable development in short-tailed, medium-tailed and long-tailed lines. Net favorable development of $17.5 million in short-tailed lines reflected $23.3 million of favorable development related to property other than property catastrophe business, primarily from the 2016 to 2019 underwriting years, and $16.6 million of favorable development from other specialty, primarily from the 2018 and 2019 underwriting years, partially offset by $22.5 million of net adverse development related to property catastrophe, primarily from the 2020 underwriting year. Net favorable development of $9.3 million in medium and long-tailed lines reflected favorable development in casualty across most underwriting years. The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $10.9 million, or 3.2 loss ratio points, for the 2021 first quarter, primarily driven by favorable development in the credit risk transfer and international portfolios.
