|
the scope of coverage provided under our policies, particularly those that provide for business interruption coverage, which generally falls under the following three categories:
|
◦
|
coverage has not been triggered because the policy’s insuring agreement has not been satisfied and/or a covered cause of loss has not been established;
|
◦
|
the policy would not respond because the policy includes a communicable disease, virus or pandemic exclusion; or
|
◦
|
the policy may provide coverage for communicable diseases and pandemics, but also includes conditions and limitations to coverage;
|
•
|
coverage provided under our ceded reinsurance contracts;
|
•
|
the expected duration of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which we have assumed will extend, in varying degrees, beyond the government directives currently in place and may impact certain covered events through the end of the year; and
|
•
|
the ability of insureds to mitigate some or all of their losses. For example, in the case of our event cancellation coverages, by deferring the event or moving to a virtual format, and for our business interruption exposures, the ability to continue providing certain services or to provide services remotely.

|
The Insurance segment's combined ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included $116.1 million of favorable development on prior years' loss reserves compared to $72.6 million for the same period in 2019. 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 favorable development on our professional liability and marine and energy product lines in 2020 compared to adverse development in 2019, partially offset by less favorable development on our general liability product lines in 2020 compared to 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, favorable development was most significant on our professional liability and marine and energy product lines, primarily on the 2016 to 2019 accident years, and workers' compensation product line across several accident years. The favorable development on prior years' loss reserves in 2019 was most significant on our general liability and workers' compensation product lines.
|
•
|
The expense ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased compared to the same period of 2019 primarily due to the favorable impact of higher earned premiums, partially offset by a lower benefit from ceding commissions in 2020 compared to 2019.
|
•
|
Excluding the impact of losses attributed to COVID-19 in 2020, the current accident year loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased compared to the same period of 2019 primarily due to higher net attritional losses on our property and workers' compensation product lines in 2020 compared to 2019.
|
•
|
The Reinsurance segment's combined ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included $13.9 million of adverse development on prior accident years' loss reserves compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, adverse development was most significant on our public entity product line, primarily on the 2015 to 2019 accident years, and professional liability product lines, primarily on the 2016 to 2019 accident years. The adverse development on prior years' loss reserves in 2019 was most significant on our property product lines.
|
•
|
The expense ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased compared to the same period of 2019 due to lower acquisition costs and lower general expenses, partially offset by higher profit sharing expenses. Profit sharing was lower in 2019 due to the favorable impact of the reversal of an accrual in the first quarter.

•
|
current global economic, market and industry conditions, as well as significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including governmental, legislative, judicial or regulatory actions or developments affecting our businesses;
|
•
|
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 use of technology and innovation to simplify the customer experience, increase efficiencies, redesign products, alter models and effect other potentially disruptive changes in the insurance industry, and the effect of competition on market trends and pricing;
|
•
|
our efforts to develop new products, expand in targeted markets or improve business processes and workflows may not be successful and may increase or create new risks (e.g., insufficient demand, change to risk exposures, distribution channel conflicts, execution risk, increased expenditures);
|
•
|
the frequency and severity of man-made and natural catastrophes (including earthquakes, wildfires and weather-related catastrophes) may exceed expectations, are unpredictable and, in the case of wildfires and weather-related catastrophes, may be exacerbated if, as many forecast, changing 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;
|
•
|
inaccuracies (whether due to data error, human error or otherwise) in the various modeling techniques and data analytics (e.g., scenarios, predictive and stochastic modeling, and forecasting) we use to analyze and estimate exposures, loss trends and other risks associated with our insurance and ILS businesses could cause us to misprice our products or fail to appropriately estimate the risks to which we are exposed;
|
•
|
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;
|

While we currently have no debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility, a failure to satisfy the financial covenants under the revolving credit agreement, unless waived or amended, would result in our inability to borrow or secure letters of credit under that facility; and

|
•
|
Our efforts to develop new products, expand in targeted markets or improve business processes and workflows may not be successful and may increase or create new risks;
|
•
|
Our insurance companies and senior debt are rated by various rating agencies, and a downgrade or potential downgrade in one or more of these ratings could have a material adverse effect on us;
|
•
|
The amount of capital that our insurance subsidiaries have and must hold to maintain their financial strength and credit ratings and meet other requirements can vary significantly from time to time and is sensitive to a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control;

|
•
|
Our investment results may be impacted by changes in interest rates, U.S. and international monetary and fiscal policies as well as broader economic conditions;
|
•
|
We invest a significant portion of our shareholders' equity in equity securities, which may result in significant variability in our investment results and net income and may have a material adverse effect on shareholders' equity. Additionally, our equity investment portfolio is concentrated, and declines in the value of these significant investments could have a material adverse effect on our financial results;
|
•
|

We have substantial international operations and investments, which expose us to increased political, operational and economic risks;
|
•
|
General economic, market or industry conditions could lead to investment losses, adverse effects on our businesses and limit our access to the capital markets;
|
•
|
We may not find suitable acquisition candidates or new ventures;
|
•
|
The integration of acquired companies may not be as successful as we anticipate;
|
•
|
