Insurance Operations Highlights
- 94.9% second-quarter 2025 property casualty combined ratio, improved from 98.5% for the second quarter of 2024.
- 11% growth in second-quarter net written premiums, including price increases, premium growth initiatives and a higher level of insured exposures.
- $404 million second-quarter 2025 property casualty new business written premiums, down 1%. Agencies appointed since the beginning of 2024 contributed $38 million or 9% of total new business written premiums.
- $26 million second-quarter 2025 life insurance subsidiary net income, up $2 million compared with the second quarter of 2024, and 3% growth in second-quarter 2025 term life insurance earned premiums.
Investment and Balance Sheet Highlights
- 18% or $43 million increase in second-quarter 2025 pretax investment income, including a 24% increase in bond interest income and a 1% increase in stock portfolio dividends.
- Three-month increase of 4% in fair value of total investments at June 30, 2025, including a 3% increase for the bond portfolio and a 5% increase for the stock portfolio.
- $5.061 billion parent company cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2025, down 3% from year-end 2024.
Confident in Long-Term Plans
Stephen M. Spray, president and chief executive officer, commented: "I'm pleased with our overall second-quarter 2025 results. It was a solid quarter, showing the strength of our agent-centered strategy and the value of our long-term plans to steadily expand product and geographic diversification as well as deepen pricing segmentation and sophistication.
"We saw the increases in weather-related catastrophe events that started the year continue in the second quarter. In April, May and June, 20 total catastrophes were declared, including the heart-breaking floods in Texas. Our claims associates continued to deliver fast, fair and empathetic service, paying more than half a billion dollars in catastrophe-related claims so far in 2025.
"While our 103.8% combined ratio for the first six months of the year is higher than we'd like it to be, that ratio for our second quarter improved 3.6 points to 94.9%. Again demonstrating the strength of our long-term initiatives, our current accident year combined ratio before catastrophe losses improved 3.1 points for the quarter and 1.9 points for the first six months, reaching 85.1% and 87.7%, respectively.
"Pretax investment income for the second quarter also grew, rising 18% to $285 million, driven by a 24% increase in bond interest income."
Balancing Growth and Profitability
"We believe combining our hallmark of personal service with data-driven analytics will allow us to grow profitably through all market cycles. Property casualty consolidated net written premiums grew 11% for both the second quarter and the first half of 2025, surpassing $5 billion in the first six months for the first time ever.
"Keeping underwriting discipline in mind, we've managed average commercial lines price increases near the high end of the mid-single-digit percent range and excess and surplus lines in the high-single-digit percentage range. Personal lines homeowner prices increased on average in the low-double digit percent range and auto in the high-single-digit percent range.
"In May, we launched our fifth product brokered through CSU Producer Resources Inc. with the support of Cincinnati Global Underwriting Ltd. We believe having this additional capability is also boosting our ability to write more excess and surplus lines business overall, contributing to the strong 24% increase in second-quarter new business written premiums for our E&S segment."
Book Value Reaches New Record
"At June 30, our book value again reached a record high, increasing 2.6% since December 31, 2024, to $91.46. Consolidated cash and total investments also reached a new high, exceeding $30 billion.
"Our ample capital allows us to execute on our long-term strategies and, at the same time, pay dividends to shareholders. Our value creation ratio, which considers the dividends we pay as well as growth in book value, was 4.6% for the first half of 2025."

- $274 million or 11% growth of second-quarter 2025 property casualty net written premiums, and six-month growth of 11%, reflecting premium growth initiatives, price increases and a higher level of insured exposures. The contribution from Cincinnati Re® and Cincinnati Global Underwriting Ltd.SM in total reduced the second-quarter growth rate by less than 1 percentage point, reflecting pricing discipline where market conditions softened.
- $3 million decrease in second-quarter 2025 new business premiums written by agencies, driven by our personal lines insurance segment. The $3 million decrease included a $31 million increase in standard market property casualty production from agencies appointed since the beginning of 2024.
- 258 new agency appointments in the first six months of 2025, including 47 that market only our personal lines products.
- 3.6 percentage-point second-quarter 2025 combined ratio improvement, despite an increase of 1.0 points for losses from catastrophes.
- 7.7 percentage-point six-month 2025 combined ratio increase, including an increase of 9.8 points from higher catastrophe losses.
- 2.6 percentage-point second-quarter 2025 benefit from favorable prior accident year reserve development of $63 million, compared with 1.9 points or $40 million for second-quarter 2024.
- 3.3 percentage-point six-month 2025 benefit from favorable prior accident year reserve development, compared with 3.4 points for the first six months of 2024.
- 1.1 percentage-point improvement in the six-month 2025 ratio for current accident year loss and loss expenses before catastrophes, including an unfavorable 0.6 points for the net effect of $52 million for reinsurance treaty reinstatement premiums related to the January 2025 wildfires in southern California.
- 0.8 percentage-point decrease in the underwriting expense ratio for the first six months of 2025, compared with the same period of 2024, primarily due to growth in earned premiums outpacing growth in various expenses.

- Events or conditions that could weaken or harm our relationships with our independent agencies and hamper opportunities to add new agencies, resulting in limitations on our opportunities for growth
- Mergers, acquisitions, and other consolidations of agencies that result in a concentration of a significant amount of premium in one agency or agency group and/or alter our competitive advantages
- Our inability to manage business opportunities, growth prospects, and expenses for our ongoing operations
- Changing consumer insurance-buying habits
- The inability to obtain adequate ceded reinsurance on acceptable terms, for acceptable amounts, and from financially strong reinsurers; and the potential for nonpayment or delay in payment by reinsurers
- Domestic and global events, such as the wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East, future pandemics, inflationary trends, changes in U.S. trade and tariff policy, and disruptions in the banking and financial services industry, resulting in insurance losses, capital market or credit market uncertainty, followed by prolonged periods of economic instability or recession, that lead to:
- Securities market disruption or volatility and related effects such as decreased economic activity and continued supply chain disruptions that affect our investment portfolio and book value
- Significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of securities and impairment of the assets
- Significant decline in investment income due to reduced or eliminated dividend payouts from securities
- Significant rise in losses from surety or director and officer policies written for financial institutions or other insured entities or in losses from policies written by Cincinnati Re or Cincinnati Global
- An unusually high level of claims in our insurance or reinsurance operations that increase litigation-related expenses
- Decreased premium revenue and cash flow from disruption to our distribution channel of independent agents, consumer self-isolation, travel limitations, business restrictions and decreased economic activity
- The inability of our workforce, agencies, or vendors to perform necessary business functions
Financial, Economic, and Investment Risks
- Declines in overall stock market values negatively affecting our equity portfolio and book value
- Downgrades in our financial strength ratings
- Interest rate fluctuations or other factors that could significantly affect:
- Our ability to generate growth in investment income
- Values of our fixed-maturity investments and accounts in which we hold bank-owned life insurance contract assets
- Our traditional life policy reserves
- Economic volatility and illiquidity associated with our alternative investments in private equity, private credit, real property, and limited partnerships
- Failure to comply with covenants and other requirements under our credit facilities, senior debt, and other debt obligations
- Recession, prolonged elevated inflation, or other economic conditions resulting in lower demand for insurance products or increased payment delinquencies
- The inability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends consistent with current or past levels impacting our ability to pay shareholder dividends or repurchase shares
General Business, Technology, and Operational Risks
- Ineffective information technology systems or failing to develop and implement improvements in technology
- Difficulties with technology or data security breaches, including cyberattacks, could negatively affect our, or our agents', ability to conduct business; disrupt our relationships with agents, policyholders, and others; cause reputational damage, mitigation expenses, data loss, and expose us to liability
- Difficulties with our operations and technology that may negatively impact our ability to conduct business, including cloud-based data information storage, data security, remote working capabilities, and/or outsourcing relationships and third-party operations and data security
- Disruption of the insurance market caused by technology innovations such as driverless cars that could decrease consumer demand for insurance products
- Delays, inadequate data developed internally or from third parties, or performance inadequacies from ongoing development and implementation of underwriting and pricing models and methods, including usage-based insurance methods, automation, artificial intelligence, or technology projects and enhancements expected to increase our efficiency, pricing accuracy, underwriting profit, and competitiveness
- Intense competition, and the impact of innovation, emerging technologies, artificial intelligence and changing customer preferences on the insurance industry and the markets in which we operate, could harm our ability to maintain or increase our business volumes and profitability
- Inability to defer policy acquisition costs for any business segment if pricing and loss trends would lead management to conclude that the segment could not achieve sustainable profitability
- Unforeseen departure of certain executive officers or other key employees that could interrupt progress toward important strategic goals or diminish the effectiveness of certain longstanding relationships with insurance agents and others
- Our inability, or the inability of our independent agents, to attract and retain personnel
- Events, such as a pandemic, an epidemic, natural catastrophe, or terrorism, which could hamper our ability to assemble our workforce, work effectively in a remote environment, or other failures of business continuity or disaster recovery programs
Regulatory, Compliance, and Legal Risks
- Actions of insurance departments, state attorneys general or other regulatory agencies, including a change to a federal system of regulation from a state-based system, that:
- Impose new obligations on us that increase our expenses or change the assumptions underlying our critical accounting estimates
- Place the insurance industry under greater regulatory scrutiny or result in new statutes, rules, and regulations
- Restrict our ability to exit or reduce writings of unprofitable coverages or lines of business
- Increase assessments for guaranty funds, other insurance‑related assessments, or mandatory reinsurance arrangements; or that impair our ability to recover such assessments through future surcharges or other rate changes
- Increase our provision for federal income taxes due to changes in tax laws, regulations, or interpretations
- Increase other expenses
- Limit our ability to set fair, adequate, and reasonable rates
- Restrict our ability to cancel policies
- Impose new underwriting standards
- Place us at a disadvantage in the marketplace
- Restrict our ability to execute our business model, including the way we compensate agents
- Adverse outcomes from litigation, environmental claims, mass torts or administrative proceedings, including effects of social inflation and third-party litigation funding on the size and frequency of litigation awards
- Events or actions, including unauthorized intentional circumvention of controls, which reduce our future ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
- Effects of changing social, global, economic, and regulatory environments
- Additional measures affecting corporate financial reporting and governance that can affect the market value of our common stock
Risks and uncertainties are further discussed in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 1A, Risk Factors, Page 30.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliation to Comparable GAAP Measures
(See attached tables for reconciliations; additional prior-period reconciliations available at cinfin.com/investors.)
Cincinnati Financial Corporation prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Statutory data is prepared in accordance with statutory accounting rules for insurance company regulation in the United States of America as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, and therefore is not reconciled to GAAP data.
Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its primary business areas – property casualty insurance, life insurance and investments. Management uses these measures when analyzing both GAAP and non-GAAP results to improve its understanding of trends in the underlying business and to help avoid incorrect or misleading assumptions and conclusions about the success or failure of company strategies. Management adjustments to GAAP measures generally: apply to non-recurring events that are unrelated to business performance and distort short-term results; involve values that fluctuate based on events outside of management's control; supplement reporting segment disclosures with disclosures for a subsidiary company or for a combination of subsidiaries or reporting segments; or relate to accounting refinements that affect comparability between periods, creating a need to analyze data on the same basis.
- Non-GAAP operating income: Non-GAAP operating income is calculated by excluding investment gains and losses (defined as investment gains and losses after applicable federal and state income taxes) and other significant non-recurring items from net income. Management evaluates non-GAAP operating income to measure the success of pricing, rate and underwriting strategies. While investment gains (or losses) are integral to the company's insurance operations over the long term, the determination to realize investment gains or losses on fixed-maturity securities sold in any period may be subject to management's discretion and is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Also, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, gains and losses are recognized from certain changes in market values of securities without actual realization. Management believes that the level of investment gains or losses for any particular period, while it may be material, may not fully indicate the performance of ongoing underlying business operations in that period.
For these reasons, many investors and shareholders consider non-GAAP operating income to be one of the more meaningful measures for evaluating insurance company performance. Equity analysts who report on the insurance industry and the company generally focus on this metric in their analyses. The company presents non-GAAP operating income so that all investors have what management believes to be a useful supplement to GAAP information. - Consolidated property casualty insurance results: To supplement reporting segment disclosures related to our property casualty insurance operations, we also evaluate results for those operations on a basis that includes results for our property casualty insurance and brokerage services subsidiaries. That is the total of our commercial lines, personal lines and our excess and surplus lines segments plus our reinsurance assumed operations known as Cincinnati Re and our London-based global specialty underwriter known as Cincinnati Global.
- Life insurance subsidiary results: To supplement life insurance reporting segment disclosures related to our life insurance operation, we also evaluate results for that operation on a basis that includes life insurance subsidiary investment income, or investment income plus investment gains and losses, that are also included in our investments reporting segment. We recognize that assets under management, capital appreciation and investment income are integral to evaluating the success of the life insurance segment because of the long duration of life products.

Other Measures
- Value creation ratio: This is a measure of shareholder value creation that management believes captures the contribution of the company's insurance operations, the success of its investment strategy and the importance placed on paying cash dividends to shareholders. The value creation ratio measure is made up of two primary components: (1) rate of growth in book value per share plus (2) the ratio of dividends declared per share to beginning book value per share. Management believes this measure is useful, providing a meaningful measure of long-term progress in creating shareholder value. It is intended to be all-inclusive regarding changes in book value per share, and uses originally reported book value per share in cases where book value per share has been adjusted, such as adoption of Accounting Standards Updates with a cumulative effect of a change in accounting.
- Written premium: Under statutory accounting rules in the U.S., property casualty written premium is the amount recorded for policies issued and recognized on an annualized basis at the effective date of the policy. Management analyzes trends in written premium to assess business efforts. The difference between written and earned premium is unearned premium.
