The jump to **$912.00 million** in Q3 2024 was driven by multiple factors that enhanced overall operating performance. **Higher net income**—resulting from significant investment gains and improved operations—was a key contributor. Additionally, there was an **increase in loss and loss expense reserves** (reflecting higher reserves for incurred but not reported claims), a substantial **growth in unearned premiums** due to more written premiums, and a rise in **deferred policy acquisition costs** aligned with the premium expansion.  **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:4]** **[CINF_3404022_3]** **[0000020286-24-000062_exhibit9923q24.htm:4]** 

Why did operating cash flow jump to 912.00 in Q3 2024?

The flip to a positive **251.00** in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by significantly higher cash inflows from investing activities. In particular, there was a notable increase in inflows from the **sale, call, or maturity of fixed maturities** (rising to **2,354.00**) and the **sale of equity securities** (up to **1,332.00**). These substantial increases more than offset the cash outflows from the **purchase of fixed maturities** and **purchase of equity securities**, resulting in a net positive cash flow from investing activities.  **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:4]** 

What drove investing activities to flip to a positive 251.00 in Q3 2024?

The surge in sales of equity securities to **985.00 million USD** in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by **active portfolio rebalancing**. Specifically, the company trimmed or exited positions in selected common stocks, a move that allowed them to generate significant net sales as they focused on balancing near-term income generation with long-term book value growth potential.  **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:4]** **[CINF_3404022_3]** **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:59]** 

Why did sales of equity securities surge to 985.00 in Q3 2024?

The significant increase in cash to **$1,752 million** in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by **net sales of equity securities** that generated **$959 million** in proceeds, combined with an **investment strategy** where only part of the proceeds was reinvested in fixed-maturity securities, leaving more liquidity on the balance sheet. In addition, the company’s history of **positive operating cash flow** further supported the heightened cash levels.  **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:64]** 

What factors contributed to cash ending at 1,752 in Q3 2024?

The purchases of fixed-maturity securities in Q3 2024 became elevated primarily because the company reinvested the proceeds from **net equity sales** totaling **$959 million** during that quarter. This reinvestment boosted the fixed-maturity purchases by **$672 million** and was part of a strategic move to optimize the investment portfolio—balancing near-term income with long-term book value growth while targeting higher yields, as evidenced by a **5.53% average pretax yield** on purchased bonds.  **[20241024CL37609:8]** **[CINF_3404022_3]** **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:59]**

The drop to **$619 million in Q1 2024** is due to several activities that collectively reduced cash. Specifically, Cincinnati Financial Corporation experienced a decline from **$907 million as of December 31, 2023, to $619 million as of March 31, 2024**. This change was driven by **share repurchases** (680,000 shares at an average price of **$109.89 per share**), **dividend payments** totaling **$116 million**, and **net purchases of $374 million in fixed maturity securities**, which more than offset the **41% increase in operating cash flow** (to **$353 million**) during the same period.  **[20240425CL96403:10]** **[0000020286-24-000029_exhibit9911q24.htm:11]** **[CINF_3381285_3]** 

Why did cash and cash equivalents drop to 619 in Q1 2024?

The surge in cash and cash equivalents to **1,752** in Q3 2024 was driven primarily by a significant **net sale of equity securities amounting to $959 million**, which generated liquidity used to purchase fixed maturities. Additionally, the company benefited from its consistently **positive operating cash flow** and a strategic investment approach that balances near-term income with long-term book value growth.  **[20241024CL37609:12]** **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:64]** 

What drove the surge in cash and cash equivalents to 1,752 in Q3 2024?

The jump in total assets to **$37,009 million** in Q3 2024 was driven by several factors. **Investments** increased significantly, notably through a **$1.462 billion** increase in the fair value of the bond portfolio (including **$672 million** in net purchases of fixed-maturity securities) and a **$7.536 billion** appreciated value in the equity portfolio before taxes, even though there was a slight decrease in its fair value during the quarter.  **[0000020286-24-000063_cinf-20240930.htm:1]**   Additionally, there was a notable boost in **Cash and Cash Equivalents** from **$907 million** to **$1,752 million**, an increase that supported overall asset growth.  **[0000020286-24-000048_cinf-20240630.htm:1]**   Finally, operational factors such as growth in **Premiums Receivable** (rising from **$2,592 million** to **$3,012 million**) and an increase in **Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs** (from **$1,093 million** to **$1,241 million**) also contributed to this substantial rise.  **[20241024CL37609:12]**
