Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information We evaluate the results of our four reportable segments as follows: •Our Standard Commercial Lines, Standard Personal Lines, and E&S Lines are evaluated based on before and after-tax underwriting results (net premiums earned, incurred loss and loss expense, policyholders dividends, policy acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses), return on equity ("ROE") contribution, and combined ratios. •Our Investments segment is primarily evaluated after-tax net investment income and its ROE contribution. After-tax net realized and unrealized gains and losses, which are not included in non-GAAP operating income, are also included in our Investment segment results. In computing each segment's results, we do not make adjustments for interest expense or corporate expenses. No segment has a separate investment portfolio or allocated assets. Our combined insurance operations are subject to certain geographic concentrations, particularly in the Eastern region of the country. In 2021, approximately 18% of NPW were related to insurance policies written in New Jersey. We also had a goodwill balance of $7.8 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020 on our Consolidated Balance Sheet that relates to our Standard Commercial Lines reporting unit. The following summaries present revenues (net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments in the case of the Investments segment) and pre-tax income for the individual segments:
