The decrease in the provision for insured events of prior years during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $32.1 million was primarily attributable to lower than estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses in the private passenger automobile and homeowners lines of insurance business, partially offset by unfavorable development in the commercial property line of insurance business. The increase in the provision for insured events of prior years during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $49.9 million was primarily attributable to higher than estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses in the private passenger automobile line of insurance business. Extreme rates of inflation in 2022 have begun to moderate in 2023 but remain elevated. The impact of the inflationary pressures on loss severity in the automobile line of insurance business increased losses and loss adjustment expenses for the insured events of the current accident year for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred catastrophe losses net of reinsurance of approximately $223 million and $62 million, respectively. No reinsurance benefits were available for these losses as none of the catastrophe events during these periods individually resulted in losses in excess of the Company's retention limit. Catastrophe losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted primarily from winter storms and rainstorms in California, Texas and Oklahoma, and the impact of Hurricane Hilary in California. Catastrophe losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted primarily from winter storms, rainstorms and hail in Texas and Oklahoma, the impact of Hurricane Ian in Florida, and winter storms in California. The Company experienced favorable development of approximately $4 million and unfavorable development of approximately $4 million on prior years' catastrophe losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
