Chubb Limited News Release
North America Commercial P&C Insurance : The combined ratio increased 2.1 percentage points, primarily reflecting the impact of higher catastrophe losses and modestly lower favorable prior period development. Prior period development comprised$112 million of favorable development, partially offset by a charge of$40 million related to development from 2022 late-season catastrophes. The favorable development of$112 million compares with favorable development of$108 million in the prior year quarter.North America Personal P&C Insurance : The combined ratio increased 10.4 percentage points, about half of which is due to the impact of higher catastrophe losses in the current quarter. The remaining increase was primarily related to a reserve release in the prior year quarter due to lower than expected paid and reported loss activity attributable to the indirect effects of COVID related economic slowdown.North America Agricultural Insurance : The current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses increased 4.4 percentage points, including a 1.5 percentage point increase in the loss ratio from a year-over-year impact from the company's crop commodity price hedge activity which produced a loss this quarter versus a gain last year, and a 1.9 percentage point increase in the expense ratio related to the federal government program's risk-sharing formula.Overseas General Insurance : The combined ratio decreased 4.9 percentage points primarily reflecting 1.7 percentage points from lower catastrophe losses and 2.8 percentage points from higher favorable prior period development. Favorable prior period development of$143 million comprised$43 million related to development from 2022 late-season catastrophes and other development of$100 million . The favorable development of$100 million net of catastrophes development compares with favorable development of$60 million in the prior year quarter.
All comparisons are with the same period last year unless otherwise specifically stated.
