Question · Q4 2025
Katherine Sakys questioned the durability of Travelers' strong underlying underwriting results into 2026, given a perceived slowdown in pricing momentum. She also asked for additional color on Business Insurance's underlying loss results, specifically regarding IBNR for casualty lines and any similar additions this quarter.
Answer
Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and CEO, expressed confidence in the durability of underlying underwriting income, attributing it to Travelers being a larger, more profitable company due to strategic investments, enabling substantial premium writing at strong profitability. Dan Frey, CFO, confirmed that a 'load for uncertainty' in casualty lines was included in the accident year loss picks for 2024, 2025, and will be for 2026, noting that casualty losses performed as expected, with workers' compensation driving favorability.
