The Insurance segment's combined ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 included $135.0 million of favorable development on prior years' loss reserves compared to $111.1 million for the same period of 2018. The impact of more favorable development on prior years' loss reserves was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of higher earned premiums on the prior years' loss ratio. The increase in favorable development was primarily due to more favorable development on our professional liability and general liability product lines in 2019 compared to 2018, partially offset by less favorable development on our marine and energy product lines in 2019 compared to 2018. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, favorable development was most significant on our general liability product lines, primarily on the 2014 to 2018 accident years, workers' compensation product lines, primarily on the 2016 to 2018 accident years, and professional liability product lines, primarily on the 2017 and 2018 accident years. The favorable development on prior years' loss reserves in the third quarter of 2018 was most significant on our general liability, workers' compensation and marine and energy product lines.
|
•
|
The expense ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was flat compared to the same period of the prior year. The favorable impact from higher earned premiums in 2019 compared to 2018 was offset by a lower benefit from ceding commissions in 2019 compared to 2018 due to recent changes in our outwards reinsurance treaty structures. In late 2018, we shifted from buying proportional reinsurance coverages towards excess of loss coverages for our general liability and professional liability product lines.
|
•
|
The current accident year loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased compared to the prior period, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses in 2019 compared to 2018.
|
•
|
The Insurance segment's combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $309.3 million of favorable development on prior years' loss reserves compared to $369.8 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in favorable development was primarily due to less favorable development on our marine and energy and programs products lines in 2019 compared to 2018 and adverse development on our property product lines in 2019 compared to favorable development in 2018. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by more favorable development on our general liability product lines. The adverse development on our property product lines in 2019 was due to adverse development on our brokerage property product line resulting from higher than expected losses, primarily on the 2018 accident year, as well as modest adverse development on prior year catastrophes. Additionally, the benefit of favorable development on the combined ratio was reduced in 2019 as a result of higher earned premiums in 2019 compared to 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, favorable development was most significant on our general liability product lines, primarily on the 2013 to 2017 accident years, workers' compensation product lines, primarily on the 2015 to 2018 accident years, and professional liability product lines, primarily on the 2017 and 2018 accident years. The favorable development on prior years' loss reserves in 2018 was most significant on our general liability, workers' compensation, marine and energy and professional liability product lines.
|
•
|
The expense ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased compared to the same period of 2018, primarily due to the favorable impact of higher earned premiums, partially offset by a lower benefit from ceding commissions due to changes in our outwards reinsurance treaty structures, as described above.
|
•
|
The current accident year loss ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in the current year loss ratio was attributable to the beneficial impact of more favorable premium adjustments in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily on our workers' compensation and credit and surety product lines, partially offset by an unfavorable impact arising from changes in our outwards property reinsurance treaty structures in 2019 related to the elimination of our proportional property reinsurance treaty and the purchase of additional excess of loss property and catastrophe reinsurance coverage. The decrease in the current accident year loss ratio was also attributable to lower catastrophe losses in 2019 compared to 2018.
|
•
|
The Reinsurance segment's combined ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 included $13.8 million of favorable development on prior accident years' loss reserves compared to $12.7 million for the same period of 2018. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, favorable development was most significant on our property product lines across several accident years. The favorable development on prior years' loss reserves in the third quarter of 2018 was most significant on our credit and surety, marine and energy and workers' compensation product lines.
|
•
|
The expense ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased compared to the same period of 2018 primarily due lower general expenses, the favorable impact of higher earned premiums and lower profit sharing expenses in 2019 compared to 2018.
|
•
|
Excluding the impact of 2019 and 2018 Catastrophes, the current accident year loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was flat compared to the prior year. Changes in our outwards property reinsurance treaty structures in 2019 as described above resulted in a higher net attritional loss ratio. The impact of these changes was offset by the favorable impact of reinstatement premiums and more favorable premium adjustments in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily on our workers' compensation and professional liability product lines.
|
•
|
The Reinsurance segment's combined ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $20.7 million of favorable development on prior accident years' loss reserves compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2018. In both periods, the favorable development on prior years' loss reserves was partially offset by adverse development on prior year catastrophes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, favorable development was most significant on our aviation and whole account product lines across several accident years and on our auto product lines, primarily on the 2012 to 2015 accident years. The favorable development on prior years' loss reserves in 2018 was most significant on our credit and surety and marine and energy product lines.
|
•
|
The expense ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased compared to the same period of 2018 due to an unfavorable impact from higher ceded earned premiums resulting from changes in our outwards property reinsurance treaty structures, as described above.

•
|
our expectations about future results of our underwriting, investing, Markel Ventures and other operations are based on current knowledge and assume no significant man-made or natural catastrophes, no significant changes in products or personnel and no adverse changes in market conditions;
|
•
|
the effect of cyclical trends on our underwriting, investing, Markel Ventures and other operations, including demand and pricing in the insurance, reinsurance and other markets in which we operate;
|
•
|
actions by competitors, including the application of new or "disruptive" technologies or business models and consolidation, and the effect of competition on market trends and pricing;
|
•
|
the frequency and severity of man-made and natural catastrophes (including earthquakes, fires and weather-related catastrophes) may exceed expectations, are unpredictable and, in the case of fires and weather-related catastrophes, may be exacerbated if, as many forecast, conditions in the oceans and atmosphere result in increased hurricane, flood, drought or other adverse weather-related activity;
|
•
|
we offer insurance and reinsurance coverage against terrorist acts in connection with some of our programs, and in other instances we are legally required to offer terrorism insurance; in both circumstances, we actively manage our exposure, but if there is a covered terrorist attack, we could sustain material losses;
|
•
|
emerging claim and coverage issues, changing legal and social trends, and inherent uncertainties in the loss estimation process can adversely impact the adequacy of our loss reserves and our allowance for reinsurance recoverables;
|
•
|
reinsurance reserves are subject to greater uncertainty than insurance reserves, primarily because of reliance upon the original underwriting decisions made by ceding companies and the longer lapse of time from the occurrence of loss events to their reporting to the reinsurer for ultimate resolution;
|
•
|
changes in the assumptions and estimates used in establishing reserves for our life and annuity reinsurance book (which is in runoff), for example, changes in assumptions and estimates of mortality, longevity, morbidity and interest rates, could result in material increases in our estimated loss reserves for such business;
|
•
|
adverse developments in insurance coverage litigation or other legal or administrative proceedings could result in material increases in our estimates of loss reserves;
|
•
|
initial estimates for catastrophe losses are often based on limited information, are dependent on broad assumptions about the nature and extent of losses, coverage, liability and reinsurance, and those losses may ultimately differ materially from our expectations;
|
•
|
changes in the availability, costs and quality of reinsurance coverage, which may impact our ability to write or continue to write certain lines of business;
|
•
|
the ability or willingness of reinsurers to pay balances due may be adversely affected by industry and economic conditions, deterioration in reinsurer credit quality and coverage disputes, and collateral we hold, if any, may not be sufficient to cover a reinsurer's obligation to us;
|
•
|
after the commutation of ceded reinsurance contracts, any subsequent adverse development in the re-assumed loss reserves will result in a charge to earnings;
|
•
|
regulatory actions can impede our ability to charge adequate rates and efficiently allocate capital;
|
•
|
general economic and market conditions and industry specific conditions, including extended economic recessions or expansions; prolonged periods of slow economic growth; inflation or deflation; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity and energy prices and interest rates; volatility in the credit and capital markets; and other factors;
|
•
|
economic conditions, actual or potential defaults in municipal bonds or sovereign debt obligations, volatility in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and changes in market value of concentrated investments can have a significant impact on the fair value of our fixed maturity and equity securities, as well as the carrying value of our other assets and liabilities, and this impact may be heightened by market volatility;
|
•
|
economic conditions may adversely affect our access to capital and credit markets;
|
•
|
the effects of government intervention, including material changes in the monetary policies of central banks, to address financial downturns and economic and currency concerns;
|
•
|
the impacts that political and civil unrest and regional conflicts may have on our businesses and the markets they serve or that any disruptions in regional or worldwide economic conditions generally arising from these situations may have on our businesses, industries or investments;
|
•
|
the impacts that health epidemics and pandemics may have on our business operations and claims activity;
|
•
|
the impact on our businesses in the event of a repeal, in part or in whole, or modification of U.S. health care reform legislation and regulations;
|
•
|
changes in U.S. tax laws, regulations or interpretations, including those relating to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or in the tax laws, regulations or interpretations of other jurisdictions in which we operate and adjustments we may make in our operations or tax strategies in response to those changes;
|
•
|
a failure of our enterprise information technology systems and those maintained by third parties upon which we may rely, or a failure to comply with data protection or privacy regulations;
|
•
|
our acquisitions may increase our operational and control risks for a period of time;
|
•
|
we may not realize the contemplated benefits, including cost savings and synergies, of our acquisitions;
|
•
|
any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of our goodwill and intangible assets;
|
•
|
the failure or inadequacy of any loss limitation methods we employ;
|
•
|
the loss of services of any executive officer or other key personnel could adversely impact one or more of our operations;
|
•
|
our substantial international operations and investments expose us to increased political, operational and economic risks, including foreign currency exchange rate and credit risk;
|
•
|
the political, legal, regulatory, financial, tax and general economic impacts, and other impacts we cannot anticipate, related to the vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (Brexit), which could have adverse consequences for our businesses, particularly our London-based international insurance operations;
|
•
|
our ability to obtain additional capital for our operations on terms favorable to us;
|
•
|
our compliance, or failure to comply, with covenants and other requirements under our revolving credit facility, senior debt and other indebtedness;
|
•
|
our ability to maintain or raise third party capital for existing or new investment vehicles and risks related to our management of third party capital;
|
•
|
the effectiveness of our procedures for compliance with existing and future guidelines, policies and legal and regulatory standards, rules, laws and regulations;
|
•
|
the impact of economic and trade sanctions and embargo programs on our businesses, including instances in which the requirements and limitations applicable to the global operations of U.S. companies and their affiliates are more restrictive than, or conflict with, those applicable to non-U.S. companies and their affiliates;
|
•
|
regulatory changes, or challenges by regulators, regarding the use of certain issuing carrier or fronting arrangements;
|
•
|
our dependence on a limited number of brokers for a large portion of our revenues and third-party capital;
|
•
|
adverse changes in our assigned financial strength or debt ratings could adversely impact us, including our ability to attract and retain business, the amount of capital our insurance subsidiaries must hold and the availability and cost of capital;
|
•
|
changes in the amount of statutory capital our insurance subsidiaries are required to hold, which can vary significantly and is based on many factors outside our control;
|
•
|
losses from litigation and regulatory investigations and actions; and
|
•
|
a number of additional factors may adversely affect our Markel Ventures operations, and the markets they serve, and negatively impact their revenues and profitability, including, among others: adverse weather conditions, plant disease and other contaminants; changes in government support for education, healthcare and infrastructure projects; changes in capital spending levels; changes in the housing market; liability for environmental matters; volatility in the market prices for their products; and volatility in commodity prices and interest and foreign currency exchange rates.
|
•
|
the inquiries by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Bermuda Monetary Authority into loss reserves recorded in late 2017 and early 2018 at Markel CATCo Re (the Markel CATCo Inquiries) may result in adverse findings, reputational damage, the imposition of sanctions, increased costs, litigation and other negative consequences; and
|
•
|
management time and resources may be diverted to address the Markel CATCo Inquiries, as well as related litigation.

The Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $300 million of our common stock pursuant to a share repurchase program publicly announced on August 21, 2019 (the 2019 Program). The 2019 Program terminated and replaced a similar $300 million program authorized on May 14, 2018 (the 2018 Program). Under the 2019 Program, as under the 2018 Program, we may repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock from time to time in privately negotiated or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The 2019 Program has no expiration date, but may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. As of August 21, 2019, no further share repurchases may be made under the 2018 Program; future share repurchases will be made pursuant to the 2019 Program.

1.
|
I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Markel Corporation;
|
2.
|
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
|
3.
|
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
|
4.
|
The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
|
a)
|
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
|
b)
|
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
|
c)
|
Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
|
d)
|
Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and
|
5.
|
The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
|
a)
|
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
|
b)
|
Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
