Reserve Roll Forward
The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves.
Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively.
The best estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense is generally selected from a blend of methods that are applied consistently each period. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented.

(1)Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $183.4 million and $492.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which was ceded to the U.S. government. The Company acts as an administrator for the U.S. government under the voluntary National Flood Insurance Program.
The Company experienced net favorable loss development of $32.2 million and $61.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as presented in the roll forward table above.
Global Lifestyle contributed $23.3 million and $31.7 million in net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net favorable loss development in both periods was attributable to nearly all lines of business in Global Lifestyle across most of the Company’s regions with a concentration on more recent accident years and based on emerging evaluations regarding loss experience. Connected Living contributed $7.7 million of net favorable development, of which $7.3 million was from mobile and $1.6 million was from extended service contracts, partially offset by $1.2 million of net unfavorable development from financial services and other insurance products. Mobile development reflected reserve releases as a new client’s actual loss experience replaced initial pricing assumptions. Extended service contract favorability primarily reflected reserve releases driven by improving loss ratio assumptions based on limited claims emergence. Financial services and other insurance products experienced unfavorable development driven by higher claim frequencies, including the impact of winter storms on travel products. Global Automotive contributed $15.6 million of net favorable development, primarily reflecting favorability in severity assumptions within an asset protection product. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the favorable development was also primarily from Connected Living and due to similar drivers. Many of these contracts and products contain retrospective commission (profit sharing) provisions that would result in offsetting increases or decreases in expense dependent on if the development was favorable or unfavorable.
Global Housing contributed $11.0 million and $27.6 million of net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of $18.8 million of net favorable non-catastrophe development and $7.8 million of net unfavorable development from prior catastrophe events. The net favorable non-catastrophe development was driven by $13.1 million from lender-placed hazard due to easing inflation and lower frequency as observed by favorable actual loss emergence data compared to prior estimates. The net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to favorable frequency, easing inflation and legislative reform changes in Florida.
All others contributed $2.1 million of net unfavorable loss development and $2.0 million of net favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 respectively.
