• Third quarter net income of $1.888 billion, up 50%, and core income of $1.867 billion, up 53%.
• Consolidated combined ratio improved 5.9 points from the prior year quarter to an excellent 87.3%.
• Underlying combined ratio improved 1.7 points from the prior year quarter to an exceptional 83.9%.
• Catastrophe losses were $402 million pre-tax compared to $939 million in the prior year quarter.

The Travelers Companies, Inc. today reported net income of $1.888 billion, or $8.24 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.260 billion, or $5.42 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Core income in the current quarter was $1.867 billion, or $8.14 per diluted share, compared to $1.218 billion, or $5.24 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Core income increased primarily due to lower catastrophe losses, a higher underlying underwriting gain (i.e., excluding net prior year reserve development and catastrophe losses) and higher net investment income, partially offset by lower net favorable prior year reserve development. Net realized investment gains in the current quarter were $27 million pre-tax ($21 million after-tax), compared to $55 million pre-tax ($42 million after-tax) in the prior year quarter. Per diluted share amounts benefited from the impact of share repurchases.

“We are very pleased to report another quarter of excellent results,” said Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We earned core income of $1.9 billion, or $8.14 per diluted share, generating core return on equity of 22.6%. Very strong underwriting results and higher investment income drove the bottom line. Underwriting income of $1.4 billion pre-tax more than doubled compared to the prior year quarter, benefiting from both a lower level of catastrophe losses and higher underlying underwriting income. The underlying result was driven by higher net earned premiums and an underlying combined ratio that improved to an exceptional 83.9%. Underwriting income was higher in all three segments. Our high-quality investment portfolio continued to perform well, generating after-tax net investment income of $850 million, up 15%. During the quarter, we returned almost $900 million of excess capital to shareholders, including $628 million of share repurchases.

“In the third quarter, we grew net written premiums to $11.5 billion with terrific execution by our field organization. In Business Insurance, we grew net written premiums by 3% to $5.7 billion, led by 4% growth in our domestic business. We grew our leading Middle Market business and our Select Accounts small commercial business by 7% and 4%, respectively. Renewal premium change in the segment of 7.1% and retention of 85% both remained strong. In Bond & Specialty Insurance, we grew net written premiums to $1.1 billion, with higher renewal premium change and continued strong retention of 87% in our high-quality management liability business. Net written premium in our market-leading surety business remained strong. In Personal Insurance, net written premiums were $4.7 billion with strong renewal premium change in our Homeowners business.

“Our trailing twelve-month core return on equity of 18.7% reflects consistently superior underwriting performance driven by competitive advantages that distinguish us in the marketplace along with the returns from our more than $100 billion investment portfolio. Over this same period, we grew adjusted book value per share by 15%, after returning more than $2.7 billion of excess capital to shareholders and making substantial investments in transformative technology. Looking ahead, this strong momentum, the benefit of scale and the compelling opportunities before us give us great confidence in the outlook for our business.”

The Company cautions investors that such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements.

Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following:

Insurance-Related Risks

• high levels of catastrophe losses;
• actual claims may exceed the Company’s claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, the estimated level of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves may increase, or increases in loss costs may not be offset with sufficient price increases, including as a result of, among other things, changes in the legal/tort, regulatory and economic environments, including increased inflation and the impact of tariffs;
• the Company’s continued exposure to asbestos and environmental claims and related litigation;
• the Company is exposed to, and may face adverse developments involving, mass tort claims; and
• the effects of emerging claim and coverage issues on the Company’s business are uncertain, and court decisions or legislative changes that take place after the Company issues its policies can result in an unexpected increase in the number of claims.

Financial, Economic and Credit Risks

• a period of financial market disruption or an economic downturn;
• the Company’s investment portfolio is subject to credit and interest rate risk, and may suffer reduced or low returns or material realized or unrealized losses;
• the Company is exposed to credit risk related to reinsurance and structured settlements, and reinsurance coverage may not be available to the Company;
• the Company is exposed to credit risk in certain of its insurance operations and with respect to certain guarantee or indemnification arrangements that it has with third parties;
• a downgrade in the Company’s claims-paying and financial strength ratings; and
• the Company’s insurance subsidiaries may be unable to pay dividends to the Company’s holding company in sufficient amounts.

Business and Operational Risks

• the intense competition that the Company faces, including with respect to attracting and retaining employees, and the impact of innovation, technological change, including with respect to artificial intelligence, and changing customer preferences on the insurance industry and the markets in which it operates;
• disruptions to the Company’s relationships with its independent agents and brokers or the Company’s inability to manage effectively a changing distribution landscape;
• the Company’s efforts to develop new products or services, expand in targeted markets, improve business processes and workflows or make acquisitions may not be successful and may create enhanced risks;
• the Company’s pricing and capital models may provide materially different indications than actual results;
• loss of or significant restrictions on the use of particular types of underwriting criteria, such as credit scoring, or other data or methodologies, in the pricing and underwriting of the Company’s products;
• the Company is subject to additional risks associated with its business outside the United States;
• future pandemics (including new variants of COVID-19); and
• the sale of our Canadian insurance business (excluding surety) to Definity Financial Corporation is subject to closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, and may not occur.

Technology and Intellectual Property Risks

• as a result of cyber attacks (the risk of which could be exacerbated by geopolitical tensions) or otherwise, the Company may experience difficulties with technology, data and network security or outsourcing relationships;
• the Company’s dependence on effective information technology systems and on continuing to develop and implement improvements in technology, including with respect to artificial intelligence; and
• the Company may be unable to protect and enforce its own intellectual property or may be subject to claims for infringing the intellectual property of others.

Regulatory and Compliance Risks

• changes in regulation, including changes in tax laws; and
• the Company’s compliance controls may not be effective.

In addition, the Company’s share repurchase plans depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining capital levels appropriate for the Company’s business operations, changes in levels of written premiums, funding of the Company’s qualified pension plan, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions and related financings), market conditions, changes in tax laws and other factors.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release or as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the information under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Forward Looking Statements” in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 16, 2025, and in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2025, in each case as updated by our periodic filings with the SEC.

GLOSSARY OF FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

The following measures are used by the Company’s management to evaluate financial performance against historical results, to establish performance targets on a consolidated basis and for other reasons as discussed below. In some cases, these measures are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the consolidated financial statements or are not required to be disclosed in the notes to financial statements or, in some cases, include or exclude certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures also follow.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of these measures provides investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and other financial statement users with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company’s periodic results of operations and how management evaluates the Company’s financial performance.

Some of these measures exclude net realized investment gains (losses), net of tax, and/or net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax, included in shareholders’ equity, which can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends.

Other companies may calculate these measures differently, and, therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by the Company’s management.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO CORE INCOME AND CERTAIN OTHER NON-GAAP MEASURES

Core income (loss) is consolidated net income (loss) excluding the after-tax impact of net realized investment gains (losses), discontinued operations, the effect of a change in tax laws and tax rates at enactment, and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles when applicable. Segment income (loss) is determined in the same manner as core income (loss) on a segment basis. Management uses segment income (loss) to analyze each segment’s performance and as a tool in making business decisions. Financial statement users also consider core income (loss) when analyzing the results and trends of insurance companies. Core income (loss) per share is core income (loss) on a per common share basis.

RECONCILIATION OF SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY TO ADJUSTED SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND CALCULATION OF RETURN ON EQUITY AND CORE RETURN ON EQUITY

Adjusted shareholders’ equity is shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax, included in shareholders’ equity, net realized investment gains (losses), net of tax, for the period presented, the effect of a change in tax laws and tax rates at enactment (excluding the portion related to net unrealized investment gains (losses)), preferred stock and discontinued operations.
