Health Reimbursement Arrangement  Effective January 1, 2015, Employers Mutual Casualty Company (Employers Mutual) will be replacing its retiree healthcare plan with a new Employers Mutual- funded Health Reimbursement Arrangement. Financial Impact:  As of December 31, 2013, EMCI’s share of the plan’s projected benefit obligation declined $26 9 million As a result stockholders’ equity increased $17 5 million after . . , . tax.  Substantial decline in the plan’s net periodic benefit cost beginning in 2014  A ti ti f th i i dit i t d ith th l d tmor za on o e pr or serv ce cre assoc a e wit e p an amen men , coupled with declines in both the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost of the revised plan, will result in approximately $3.1 million of net periodic benefit income in 2014, compared to $3.0 million of expense in 2013.  As the amortization of the prior service credit is reflected in net income, it will be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income so that 20 stockholders’ equity is not impacted.

2014 Guidance  Based on results for the first quarter of 2014 and management’s expectations for the remainder of the year, management revised its 2014 operating income guidance from the previous range ofit 201 operatin ncom guidanc ro previou rang $3.00 to $3.25 per share to a range of $2.65 to $2.90 per share.  The revised guidance is based on a projected GAAP combined base ratio of 98.3 percent for the year, with nominal changes to the other assumptions utilized in the projection. NOTE: Operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated by excluding net realized investment gains from net income. C f ff f Disclaimer: The 2014 earnings guidance was revised as of May 8, 2014, the date of EMCI’s first quarter earnings release. The Company will not update or comment on its previous earnings guidance until the Company provides an update in its second quarter earnings release or an update is dictated by the Company’s policy for issuing a pre-release of quarterly operating results. The ompany’s calculation o operating income may di er rom similar measures used by other companies, so investors should exercise caution when comparing the Company’s measure of operating income to the measure of other companies. Management’s projected operating income guidance is also considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes operating income is useful to investors because it illustrates the performance of our normal, ongoing operations, which is important in understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. While this measure is consistent with measures utilized by investors to evaluate performance, it is not a substitute for the GAAP financial measure of net income. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial 28 measure of operating income to the GAAP financial measure of net income is available on the Company’s website at www.emcins.com/ir in the Company’s news releases regarding quarterly financial results.

Property and Casualty Insurance S t’ R i M th d legmen s eserv ng e o o ogy The Company’s reserving methodology is focused on maintaining a consistent level of overall reserve adequacy. Management does not use accident year loss picks to establish the Property and Casualty Insurance segment’s carried reserves. Case loss and IBNR loss reserves, as well as settlement expense reserves, are established independently of each other and added together to get the total loss and settlement expense reserve. The Property and Casualty Insurance segment’s reserving methodology also includes bulk case loss reserves, which supplement the aggregate case loss reserves and are used by management to establish its best estimate of liability for reported claims. There is an inherent amount of uncertainty involved in the establishment of insurance liabilities. This uncertainty is greatest in the current and more recent accident years because a smaller percentage of the expected ultimate claims have been reported , adjusted and settled compared to more mature accident years. For this reason, carried reserves for these accident years reflect prudently conservative assumptions. As the carried reserves for these accident years run off, the overall expectation is that, more often than not, favorable development will occur. However, there is also the possibility that the ultimate settlement of liabilities associated with these accident years will show adverse development, and such adverse development could be substantial. The Property and Casualty Insurance segment’s bulk reserves (formula IBNR loss reserve, bulk case loss reserve and settlement expense reserve) are initially established for all accident years combined, and are then allocated to the various accident years for financial reporting purposes. It is important to note that development on prior years’ reserves resulting solely from changes in the allocation of bulk reserves between the current and prior accident years does not have an impact on earnings. This is due to the fact that such development is simply a mathematical by-product of the mechanical process used to reallocate bulk reserves to the various accident years for financial reporting purposes Earnings are only impacted by changes in the total amount of carried . reserves. For the reasons noted above, development amounts reported on prior accident years’ reserves are less meaningful under the Company’s reserving methodology than reserving methodologies used by other companies. Accordingly, from management’s perspective, whether the Company has maintained a consistent level of overall reserve adequacy is more relevant to 32 understanding the Company’s results of operations than the composition of the underwriting results between the current and prior accident years.


 
Reserve Development Under the reserving methodology utilized by the property and casualty insurance segment, IBNR loss reserves, bulk case loss reserves and settlement expense reserves are established in total, and the total is then allocated to the various accident years. During the year-end allocation process, a portion of the total bulk reserves may be reallocated from the current accident year to prior accident years, or from prior accident years to the current id t t hi th t i l d t t’ d i d l l b id t Whacc en year, o ac eve e ac uar a epar men s es re reserve eve s y acc en year. en reserves are moved to, or from, prior accident years, the change is reported as development on prior years’ reserves. However, this type of development is “mechanical” in nature, and does not have an impact on earnings because the total amount of carried reserves did not change. Therefore, we identify, quantify and disclose this “mechanical” development so that users of the Company’s financial statements can better understand how 2013 2012 2011 R t d t f f bl d l t development on prior years’ reserves impacts the Company’s results of operations. epor e amoun o avora e eve opmen experienced on prior years' reserves $ (12,785,000) $ (25,733,000) $ (33,099,000) Adjustment for (adverse) favorable development resulting solely from changes in the allocation of bulk b t th t d i id treserves e ween e curren an pr or acc en years in the P&C insurance segment (no impact on earnings) 6,526,000 (4,551,000) 1,396,000 Implied amount of favorable development that had an impact on earnings $ (6,259,000) $ (30,284,000) $ (31,703,000) 33
