[1]
The three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 included a $52 Tax Reform benefit as the IRS communicated that a sequestration fee would not be payable on alternative minimum tax credits the Company has received or expects to be refunded.
[2]
On November 6, 2018, the Company issued 6% Series G non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock for net proceeds of $334.
[3]
The three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2019 included Navigators Group acquisition transaction expenses of $1 and $17, respectively, Navigators integration costs of $12 and $38, respectively and integration costs related to the 2017 acquisition of Aetna's group benefits business of $8 and $36, respectively. Periods prior to the second quarter of 2019 represent integration costs related to the 2017 acquisition of Aetna's group benefits business.
[4]
Included in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $68 of prior accident year reserve increases and $29 of current accident year reserve increases upon acquisition of Navigators Group and a review of Navigators Insurers reserves.
[5]
As of December 31, 2019, the Company has ceded $107 of losses to the Navigators adverse development cover ("Navigators ADC") that reinsures adverse development on Navigators' 2018 and prior accident year reserves. Of that amount, $16 of the ceded losses has been recognized as a deferred gain within other liabilities since the Navigators ADC has been accounted for as retroactive reinsurance and cumulative losses ceded of $107 exceed the ceded premium paid of $91. As the Company has ceded $107 of the $300 available limit, there is $193 of remaining limit available as of December 31, 2019.
[6]
Generally represents federal income tax expense (benefit) related to before tax items not included in core earnings.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, prior accident year development does not include the benefit of a portion of losses ceded under the Navigators ADC which, under retroactive reinsurance accounting, is a deferred gain that is recognized over the period the ceded losses are recovered in cash from NICO. The net favorable prior accident year development in fourth quarter 2019 is net of adverse loss development of $16 related to the deferred gain.
[3]
Catastrophe losses for the three months ended December. 31, 2018 included losses from California wildfires totaling $406. The three months ended December. 31, 2018 included an estimated reinsurance recoverable of $82, under the Company's property catastrophe aggregate treaty. Estimates of the fourth quarter 2018 wildfires decreased in fourth quarter 2019 such that the 2018 property aggregate treaty recoverable was $45 as of December 31, 2019.
[4]
Excluding the non-core change in loss reserves upon acquisition of Navigators Group of $97, the underwriting gain for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $415.
[5]

[6]
Generally represents federal income tax expense (benefit) related to before tax items not included in core earnings.
[7]

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
APPENDIX
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DEFINITIONS
All amounts are in millions, except for per share and ratio information, unless otherwise stated. Amounts presented throughout this document have been rounded for presentation purposes.
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company", "we", or "our") currently conducts business principally in five reporting segments: Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Property & Casualty Other Operations ("P&C Other Operations"), Group Benefits and Hartford Funds, as well as a Corporate category.
Property & Casualty ("P&C") businesses consist of three reporting segments: Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and P&C Other Operations. Commercial Lines provides workers’ compensation, property, automobile, general liability, umbrella, professional liability, bond, marine, livestock and accident and health reinsurance to businesses in the United States ("U.S.") and internationally. Commercial Lines generally consists of products written for small businesses, middle market companies as well as national and multi-national accounts, largely distributed through retail agents and brokers, wholesale agents and global and specialty reinsurance brokers. Small commercial and middle market lines within middle & large commercial are generally referred to as standard commercial lines. Global specialty provides a variety of customized insurance products, including reinsurance. Personal Lines provides automobile, homeowners and personal umbrella coverages to individuals across the U.S., including a special program designed exclusively for members of AARP. P&C Other Operations includes certain property and casualty operations, managed by the Company, that have discontinued writing new business and represent approximately 90% of the Company's asbestos and environmental exposures.
Group Benefits provides group life, accident and disability coverage, group retiree health and voluntary benefits to individual members of employer groups and associations. Group Benefits offers disability underwriting, administration, claims processing and reinsurance to other insurers and self-funded employer plans.
Hartford Funds provides investment management, administration, distribution and related services to investors through investment products in domestic markets. Mutual fund and exchange-traded products are sold primarily through retail, bank trust and registered investment advisor channels.
The Company includes in the Corporate category discontinued operations related to the life and annuity business sold in May 2018, reserves for run-off structured settlement and terminal funding agreement liabilities, capital raising activities (including equity financing, debt financing and related interest expense), transaction expenses incurred in connection with an acquisition, purchase accounting adjustments related to goodwill and other expenses not allocated to the reporting segments. Corporate also includes investment management fees and expenses related to managing third party business, including management of the invested assets of Talcott Resolution Life, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Talcott Resolution"). Talcott Resolution is the new holding company of the life and annuity business that we sold in May 2018. In addition, Corporate includes a 9.7% ownership interest in the legal entity that acquired the life and annuity business sold.
Certain operating and statistical measures for P&C standard commercial lines and for Personal Lines have been incorporated herein to provide supplemental data that indicate current trends in the Company's business. These measures include policies in-force, new business, premium retention, policy count retention and renewal earned and written price increases. Premium retention is defined as renewal premium written in the current period divided by total premium written in the prior period. Policy count retention represents the ratio of the number of policies renewed during the period divided by the number of policies from the previous policy term period. Renewal earned price increases represent the portions of the prior and current period renewal written price increases that have been earned based on the period of time the underlying renewal policies have been in effect. Renewal written price increases for Commercial Lines represent the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and individual risk pricing decisions per unit of exposure since the prior year on policies that renewed and includes the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and other changes in exposure. For Personal Lines, renewal written price increases represent the total change in premium per policy since the prior year on those policies that renewed and includes the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and other changes in exposure. For Personal Lines, other changes in exposure include, but are not limited to, the effect of changes in number of drivers, vehicles and incidents, as well as changes in customer policy elections, such as deductibles and limits.
The Company, along with others in the property and casualty insurance industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of performance. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses to earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of underwriting expenses less fee income to earned premiums. Underwriting expenses included in the expense ratio consists of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and insurance operating costs and expenses, including certain centralized services and bad debt expense, but excluding integration and transaction costs associated with an acquired business.The policyholder dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholder dividends to earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, the expense ratio and the policyholder dividend ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe the related cost of losses, expenses and policyholder dividends for every $100 of earned premiums. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100 demonstrates underwriting losses. The current accident year catastrophe ratio (a component of the loss ratio) represents the ratio of catastrophe losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred in the current accident year to earned premiums. The prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio (a component of the loss ratio) represents the increase (decrease) in the estimated cost of settling catastrophe and non-catastrophe claims incurred in prior accident years as recorded in the current calendar year divided by earned premiums.
A catastrophe is a severe loss, resulting from natural or manmade events, including risks such as fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorist attack and similar events. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics and the events are unpredictable as to timing or loss amount. Catastrophe losses are not included in either earnings or in losses and loss adjustment expense reserves prior to occurrence of the catastrophe event. The Company believes that a discussion of the effect of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability of periodic earnings. For U.S. events, a catastrophe is an event that causes $25 or more in industry insured property losses and affects a significant number of property and casualty policyholders and insurers, as defined by the Property Claim Service office of Verisk. For international events, the Company's approach is similar, informed, in part, by how Lloyd's of London defines catastrophes.
The Company, along with others in the insurance industry, uses underwriting ratios as measures of the Group Benefits segment's performance. The loss ratio is the ratio of benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of insurance operating costs and other expenses (excluding integration and transaction costs associated with an acquired business) to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums. Buyout premiums represent takeover of open claim liabilities and other non-recurring premium amounts.The Hartford Funds segment provides supplemental data on sales, redemptions, net flows and account value that indicate current trends in that segment.




DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company uses non-GAAP and other financial measures in this Investor Financial Supplement to assist investors in analyzing the Company's operating performance. Because the Company's calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing the Company's non-GAAP and other financial measures to those of other companies. Non-GAAP measures are indicated with an asterisk the first time they appear in this document.
Core earnings- The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings as an important measure of the Company’s operating performance. The Hartford believes that core earnings provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Company’s ongoing businesses because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services businesses that may be obscured by including the net effect of certain items. Therefore, the following items are excluded from core earnings:
Certain realized capital gains and losses - Some realized capital gains and losses are primarily driven by investment decisions and external economic developments, the nature and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance and underwriting aspects of our business. Accordingly, core earnings excludes the effect of all realized gains and losses that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions. The Hartford believes, however, that some realized capital gains and losses are integrally related to our insurance operations, so core earnings includes net realized gains and losses such as net periodic settlements on credit derivatives. These net realized gains and losses are directly related to an offsetting item included in the income statement such as net investment income.
Integration and transaction costs in connection with an acquired business - As transaction costs are incurred upon acquisition of a business and integration costs are completed within a short period after an acquisition, they do not represent ongoing costs of the business.
Loss on extinguishment of debt - Largely consisting of make-whole payments or tender premiums upon paying debt off before maturity, these losses are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
Gains and losses on reinsurance transactions - Gains or losses on reinsurance, such as those entered into upon sale of a business or to reinsure loss reserves, are not a recurring operating expense of the business.
Change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business - These changes in loss reserves are excluded from core earnings because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition.
Income tax benefit from reduction in deferred income tax valuation allowance - Valuation allowances, including the establishment and/or release of an allowance, against tax attributes like capital loss and net operating loss carryovers are infrequent.
Results of discontinued operations - These results are excluded from core earnings for businesses sold or held for sale because such results could obscure the ability to compare period over period results for our ongoing businesses.
Deferred gain resulting from retroactive reinsurance and subsequent changes in the deferred gain - Retroactive reinsurance agreements economically transfer risk to the reinsurers and including the full benefit from retroactive reinsurance in core earnings provides greater insight into the economics of the business.
In addition to the above components of net income available to common stockholders that are excluded from core earnings, preferred stock dividends declared, which are excluded from net income available to common stockholders, are included in the determination of core earnings. Preferred stock dividends are a cost of financing more akin to interest expense on debt and are expected to be a recurring expense as long as the preferred stock is outstanding.
Net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders and income from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders (during periods when the Company reports significant discontinued operations) are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to core earnings. Income from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders is net income available to common stockholders, excluding the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders or income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business. Therefore, The Hartford believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders, income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders and core earnings when reviewing the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders to core earnings is set forth on page 2.
Core earnings per share-This is a non-GAAP per share measure calculated using the non-GAAP financial measure core earnings rather than the GAAP measure net income. The Company believes that core earnings per share provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company's operating performance for the same reasons applicable to its underlying measure, core earnings. Net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share (defined as "net income (loss) per share") and income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders per share are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Core earnings per share should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) per share or income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders per share and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business. Therefore, the Company believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss) per share, income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders per share and core earnings per share when reviewing our performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share to core earnings per share is set forth below.

Core earnings per diluted share-This non-GAAP per share measure is calculated using the non-GAAP financial measure core earnings rather than the GAAP measure net income. The Company believes that core earnings per diluted share provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company's operating performance for the same reasons applicable to its underlying measure, core earnings. Net income (loss), available to common stockholders per diluted common share and income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders per diluted common share are the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Core earnings per diluted share should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share or income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders per diluted common share and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company's business. Therefore, the Company believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share, income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders per diluted common share and core earnings per diluted share when reviewing the Company's performance. A reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders per diluted share to core earnings per diluted share is set forth below.

Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI)-This is a non-GAAP per share measure that is calculated by dividing (a) common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, after tax, by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Company provides this measure to enable investors to analyze the amount of the Company's net worth that is primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company believes that excluding AOCI from the numerator is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Book value per diluted share is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Reconciliations of book value per common share and book value per diluted share to book value per common share, excluding AOCI and book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, are set forth on page 1.
Core Earnings Return on Equity- The Company provides different measures of the return on stockholders' equity (ROE). Core earnings ROE is calculated based on non-GAAP financial measures. Core earnings ROE is calculated by dividing (a) the non-GAAP measure core earnings for the prior four fiscal quarters by (b) the non-GAAP measure average common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI. Net income ROE is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company excludes AOCI in the calculation of core earnings ROE to provide investors with a measure of how effectively the Company is investing the portion of the Company's net worth that is primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company provides to investors return on equity measures based on its non-GAAP core earnings financial measure for the reasons set forth in the core earnings definition. A reconciliation of Net income (loss) ROE to Core earnings ROE is set forth below:

Underwriting gain (loss)- The Hartford's management evaluates profitability of the Commercial and Personal Lines segments primarily on the basis of underwriting gain or loss. Underwriting gain (loss) is a before tax non-GAAP measure that represents earned premiums less incurred losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Underwriting gain (loss) is influenced significantly by earned premium growth and the adequacy of The Hartford's pricing. Underwriting profitability over time is also greatly influenced by The Hartford's underwriting discipline, as management strives to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, effective management of claims, use of reinsurance and its ability to manage its expenses. The Hartford believes that the measure underwriting gain (loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of profitability, before tax, derived from underwriting activities, which are managed separately from the Company's investing activities. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to underwriting gain (loss) for the Company's P&C businesses are set forth below.
Underlying underwriting gain (loss)-This non-GAAP measure of underwriting profitability represents underwriting gain (loss) before current accident year catastrophes, PYD and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). The Company believes underlying underwriting gain (loss) is important to understand the Company’s periodic earnings because the volatile and unpredictable nature (i.e., the timing and amount) of catastrophes and prior accident year reserve development could obscure underwriting trends. The changes to loss reserves upon acquisition of a business are also excluded from underlying underwriting gain (loss) because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition as such trends are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the Company's financial performance. Reconciliation of net income (loss) to underlying underwriting gain (loss) for the Company's P&C businesses are set forth below.

Underlying combined ratio-This non-GAAP financial measure of underwriting results represents the combined ratio before catastrophes, prior accident year development and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. Combined ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The underlying combined ratio represents the combined ratio for the current accident year, excluding the impact of current accident year catastrophes and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. The Company believes this ratio is an important measure of the trend in profitability since it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense reserve development. The changes to loss reserves upon acquisition of a business are excluded from underlying combined ratio because such changes could obscure the ability to compare results in periods after the acquisition to results of periods prior to the acquisition as such trends are valuable to our investors' ability to assess the Company's financial performance. A reconciliation of the combined ratio to the underlying combined ratio for Property & Casualty, Commercial Lines, and Personal Lines is set forth on pages 10, 13 and 17, respectively.
Core earnings margin- The Hartford uses the non-GAAP measure core earnings margin to evaluate, and believes it is an important measure of, the Group Benefits segment's operating performance. Core earnings margin is calculated by dividing core earnings by revenues, excluding buyouts and realized gains (losses). Net income margin is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that core earnings margin provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of Group Benefits because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the effect of buyouts and realized gains (losses) as well as other items excluded in the calculation of core earnings. Core earnings margin should not be considered as a substitute for net income margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Group Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both core earnings margin and net income margin when reviewing performance. A reconciliation of net income margin to core earnings margin is set forth below.

Return on Assets ("ROA"), Core Earnings- The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate, and believes is an important measure of, the Hartford Funds segment’s operating performance. ROA, core earnings is calculated by dividing annualized core earnings by a daily average AUM. ROA is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that ROA, core earnings, provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Hartford Funds segment because it reveals trends in our business that may be obscured by the effect of items excluded in the calculation of core earnings. ROA, core earnings, should not be considered as a substitute for ROA and does not reflect the overall profitability of our Hartford Funds business. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both ROA, and ROA, core earnings when reviewing the Hartford Funds segment performance. A reconciliation of ROA to ROA, core earnings is set forth below.

Net investment income, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments- This non-GAAP measure is the amount of net investment income, on a Consolidated, P&C or Group Benefits level earned from invested assets, excluding the net investment income related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The Company believes that net investment income, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative instruments, provides investors with an important measure of the trend in investment earnings because it excludes the impact of the volatility in returns related to limited partnerships and other alternative instruments. Net investment income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. A reconciliation of net investment income to net investment income, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments is set forth below.

Annualized investment yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments-This non-GAAP measure is calculated as (a) the annualized net investment income, on a Consolidated, P&C or Group Benefits level, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, divided by (b) the monthly average invested assets at amortized cost, excluding repurchase agreement and securities lending collateral, derivatives book value, and limited partnerships and other alternative investments. The Company believes that annualized investment yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, provides investors with an important measure of the trend in investment earnings because it excludes the impact of the volatility in returns related to limited partnerships and other alternative investments. Annualized investment yield is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. A reconciliation of annualized investment yield to annualized investment yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments is set forth below.
