Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting IGI’s results, management has included and discussed certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help to explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with
Reconciliation of Combined Ratio to Accident Year Combined Ratio Prior to CAT Losses
The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the combined ratio on a financial and accident year basis. The combined ratio is the sum of our loss ratio, our net policy acquisition expenses ratio and our general and administrative expenses ratio. We show the combined ratio because we believe investors can utilize the combined ratio to illustrate our underwriting results.

Core Operating Income
Core operating income measures the performance of our operations without the influence of after-tax gains or losses on investments and foreign currencies and other items as noted in the table below. We exclude these items from our calculation of core operating income because the amounts of these gains and losses are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, economic and other factors external to the Company and/or transactions or events that are typically not a recurring part of, and are largely independent of, our core underwriting activities and including them distorts the analysis of trends in our operations. We believe the reporting of core operating income enhances an understanding of our results by highlighting the underlying profitability of our core insurance operations. Our underwriting profitability is impacted by earned premiums, the adequacy of pricing, and the frequency and severity of losses. Over time, such profitability is also influenced by underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage the Company’s exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, IGI’s management of claims, use of reinsurance and the ability to manage the expense ratio, which the Company accomplishes through the management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses.
In addition to presenting net income for the period determined in accordance with
Core operating income is calculated by the addition or subtraction of certain line items reported in the “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income” from net income for the period and tax effecting each line item (resulting in each item being a non-GAAP measure), as illustrated in the table below:
