Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
11. Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Starting on December 31, 2016, and for future annual reporting periods, the Company has enhanced its disclosure regarding liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses by presenting development tables for incurred claims and paid claims, the average annual percentage payout of incurred claims by age and a reconciliation of incurred and paid claims development information to the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses on the balance sheet.

The incurred and paid claims tables are aggregated by lines of business that have similar payout patterns. In the case of Global Indemnity, payout patterns are generally similar for property lines within their respective segments and for casualty lines within their respective segments.

The tables are shown net of reinsurance and by accident year. The incurred claims tables include incurred-but-not-reported (“IBNR”) liabilities. The incurred claims tables also include quantitative information about claim frequency.

Information regarding liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses that had been provided in prior year end reporting periods are consistent with the disclosures made in such prior year end reporting periods.

When analyzing loss reserves and prior year development, the Company considers many factors, including the frequency and severity of claims, loss trends, case reserve settlements that may have resulted in significant development, and any other additional or pertinent factors that may impact reserve estimates.

During 2016, the Company reduced its prior accident year loss reserves by $57.3 million, which consisted of a $43.8 million decrease related to Commercial Lines and a $13.5 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations.

The $43.8 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Lines primarily consisted of the following:

 

   

Property: A $0.8 million increase in aggregate with a $0.5 million increase in the non-catastrophe segments and $0.3 million increase in the catastrophe segments. The increases reflect higher than expected case incurred emergence, primarily in the 2009, 2012, and 2015 accident years. The increases were partially offset by decreases in the 2008, 2011, and 2013 accident years due to better than expected case incurred emergence in those accident years.

 

   

General Liability: A $43.8 million reduction in aggregate, within the casualty lines, with $9.4 million of favorable development in the construction defect reserve category and $34.4 million of favorable development in the other general liability reserve categories. For the construction defect reserve category, lower than expected frequency and severity led to favorable development in accident years 2005 through 2015. Lower than expected claims severity was the driver of the favorable development in the other general liability reserve categories, primarily in the 2004 through 2014 accident years.

 

   

Marine: A $1.4 million decrease in accident years 2010 through 2012 was driven by less than expected case incurred emergence in these years which is primarily within the casualty lines.

 

The $13.5 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations was primarily from the property lines for accident years 2010 through 2015. Ultimate losses were lowered in these accident years based on reviews of the experience reported from cedants.

During 2015, the Company reduced its prior accident year loss reserves by $34.7 million, which consisted of a $25.6 million decrease related to Commercial Lines and a $9.1 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations.

The $25.6 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Lines primarily consisted of the following:

 

   

General Liability: A $20.4 million reduction in aggregate, within the casualty lines, with $5.9 million of favorable development in the construction defect reserve category and $14.5 million of favorable development in the other general liability reserve categories. In the construction defect reserve category, a reduction in both claims frequency and severity was observed across several accident years which contributed to the recognition of favorable development primarily in accident years 2008 through 2014. For general liability excluding construction defect, lower than expected claims severity was experienced across multiple accident years leading to the recognition of favorable development in accident years 2004 through 2014.

 

   

Professional: A $6.2 million decrease in aggregate primarily related to better than anticipated claims frequency and severity in accident years 2006 through 2011 which is within the casualty lines.

The $9.1 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations was primarily driven by $6.8 million of favorable development in property mainly due to accident years 2011 through 2014 and $2.8 million of favorable development in the marine product mainly due to accident years 2010 and 2011, partially offset by adverse development of $1.0 million in workers compensation mainly due to accident year 2010. Ultimate losses from quota share underwriting years 2013 and prior were booked to the amount reported from cedants and reserve releases on legacy contracts due to better than anticipated case incurred emergence led to the recognition of favorable development.

During 2014, the Company reduced its prior accident year loss reserves by $16.4 million, which consisted of a $12.5 million decrease related to Commercial Lines and a $3.9 million decrease related to Reinsurance Operations.

The $12.5 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Commercial Lines primarily consisted of the following:

 

   

Property: A $2.1 million increase due to higher than expected emergence on non-catastrophe claims primarily in accident years 2007, 2012, and 2013.

 

   

General Liability: A $3.1 million reduction, within the casualty lines, due to less than anticipated frequency in accident year 2001 and less than anticipated frequency and severity on claims from accident years 2007 through 2010 partially offset by greater than anticipated loss emergence in accident year 2013.

 

   

Asbestos and Environmental: A $7.1 million increase, within the casualty lines, related to policies written prior to 1990 as a result of recent severity being higher than expected due to faster erosion of underlying policy limits.

 

   

Professional: A $19.4 million reduction primarily due to expected loss emergence being much less than anticipated for accident years 2007 through 2011 which is within the casualty lines.

 

   

Umbrella: A $2.7 million decrease primarily driven by less than anticipated frequency in accident years 2002 through 2007 which is within the casualty lines.

 

   

Commercial Auto: A $3.6 million increase primarily related to accident years 2011 through 2013 which is within the casualty lines. Larger vehicles were written prior to 2014 and industry loss development factors were used to project losses.

The $3.9 million reduction of prior accident year loss reserves related to Reinsurance Operations was primarily due to better than anticipated loss emergence on property lines partially offset by adverse development related to commercial auto and higher than anticipated severity on the Company’s marine product.

Prior to 2001, the Company underwrote multi-peril business insuring general contractors, developers, and sub-contractors primarily involved in residential construction that has resulted in significant exposure to construction defect (“CD”) claims. The Company’s reserves for CD claims are established based upon management’s best estimate in consideration of known facts, existing case law and generally accepted actuarial methodologies. However, due to the inherent uncertainty concerning this type of business, the ultimate exposure for these claims may vary significantly from the amounts currently recorded. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, gross reserves for CD claims were $54.5 million and $70.4 million, respectively, and net reserves for CD claims were $48.6 million and $62.2 million, respectively.

The Company has exposure to asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) claims. The asbestos exposure primarily arises from the sale of product liability insurance, and the environmental exposure arises from the sale of general liability and commercial multi-peril insurance. In establishing the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to A&E exposures, management considers facts currently known and the current state of the law and coverage litigation. Liabilities are recognized for known claims (including the cost of related litigation) when sufficient information has been developed to indicate the involvement of a specific insurance policy, and management can reasonably estimate its liability. In addition, liabilities have been established to cover additional exposures on both known and unasserted claims. Estimates of the liabilities are reviewed and updated regularly. Case law continues to evolve for such claims, and uncertainty exists about the outcome of coverage litigation and whether past claim experience will be representative of future claim experience. Included in net unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses as of December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 were IBNR reserves of $26.7 million, $26.0 million, and $26.4 million, respectively, and case reserves of approximately $3.2 million, $4.5 million, and $4.8 million, respectively, for known A&E-related claims.

The following table shows the Company’s gross reserves for A&E losses:

Establishing reserves for A&E and other mass tort claims involves more judgment than other types of claims due to, among other things, inconsistent court decisions, an increase in bankruptcy filings as a result of asbestos-related liabilities, and judicial interpretations that often expand theories of recovery and broaden the scope of coverage. The insurance industry continues to receive a substantial number of asbestos-related bodily injury claims, with an increasing focus being directed toward other parties, including installers of products containing asbestos rather than against asbestos manufacturers. This shift has resulted in significant insurance coverage litigation implicating applicable coverage defenses or determinations, if any, including but not limited to, determinations as to whether or not an asbestos-related bodily injury claim is subject to aggregate limits of liability found in most comprehensive general liability policies.

As of December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the survival ratio on a gross basis for the Company’s open A&E claims was 13.8 years, 15.0 years, and 10.8 years, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the survival ratio on a net basis for the Company’s open A&E claims was 19.3 years, 16.8 years, and 8.4 years, respectively. The survival ratio, which is the ratio of gross or net reserves to the 3-year average of annual paid claims, is a financial measure that indicates how long the current amount of gross or net reserves are expected to last based on the current rate of paid claims.

Commercial Lines

Property and Casualty Methodologies

Commercial Lines internal actuarial reserve reviews were completed for loss and allocated loss adjustment expenses (ALAE) separately for property excluding catastrophe experience, property catastrophes, and casualty reserve categories. The reserve reviews were completed with data through December, 2016. Actuarial methodologies, such as the Loss Development and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods, were employed to develop estimates of ultimate Loss & ALAE for most reserve categories. Additional actuarial methodologies were employed to develop estimates of ultimate Loss & ALAE for mass tort and constructions defect reserve categories due to the unique characteristics of the exposures involved. Management’s ultimate selections were based on the internal actuarial review and a third party actuarial review based on data through September 2016. A rollforward, performed by the aforementioned third party, was completed through December, 2016 to determine if there have been any significant changes in development. Case incurred is subtracted from the management selected ultimates to obtain the booked IBNR reserves. These methodologies are consistent with last year.

Commercial Lines cumulative claim frequency has been calculated at the claim level and includes claims closed without payment.

Personal Lines

Property and Casualty Methodologies

Personal Lines internal actuarial reserve reviews were completed for loss and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) combined for property excluding catastrophe experience, property catastrophes, and casualty reserve categories. The reserve reviews were completed with data through December, 2016. Actuarial methodologies, such as the Loss Development and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods, were employed to develop estimates of ultimate Loss & LAE. Management’s ultimate selections were based on the internal actuarial review and a third party actuarial review based on data through September 2016. A rollforward, performed by the aforementioned third party, was completed through December, 2016 to determine if there have been any significant changes in development. Case incurred is subtracted from the management selected ultimates to obtain the booked IBNR reserves. These methodologies are consistent with last year.

Personal lines are primarily comprised of business acquired in the purchase of American Reliable, which occurred on January 1, 2015. The acquisition included the purchase of the business of the legal entity as well as additional books of business written by other Assurant entities. In addition, ceding arrangements subsequent to the date of the acquisition are not consistent with years prior to the acquisition. As a result, it is not practical, nor would it be consistent, to include information for years prior to 2015 in the development tables for Personal Lines.

Personal Lines cumulative claim frequency has been calculated at the claim level and includes claims closed without payment.

Property & Casualty Methodologies

Reinsurance Operations internal reserve reviews were completed for loss and allocated loss adjustment expenses (ALAE) combined for run off treaties and the current book of business. The current book of business is constituted of professional liability portfolios and retrocessions from Bermuda based companies for property catastrophe, marine business, and mortgage insurance. The reserve reviews were completed based on the latest data reported from the cedants which is typically on a quarter lag. Paid loss, ALAE and Case reserves, shown in the reinsurance category tables below, which are originally based in a foreign currency, are remeasured in U.S. dollars based on the Foreign Exchange (FX) rate at the date the cedant’s report. Management’s ultimate selections were based on a review of ultimates reported from the cedants, a third party actuarial review based on data reported through September 2016, and loss emergence during the reporting period. Case incurred is subtracted from the management selected ultimates to obtain the booked IBNR reserves. These methodologies are consistent with last year.

The Company does not have direct access to claim frequency information underlying certain reinsurance contracts. As a result, the Company does not believe providing claim frequency information is practicable.
