The difference between net income and operating income is the
inclusion of net realized investment gains and losses. Management
utilizes operating income to evaluate underlying performance for a
number of reasons. First, quarterly fluctuations in net realized
investment gains and losses are unrelated to trends in the company's
insurance business. Second, net realized investment gains and losses
can include gains related to the sale of investments made at
management's discretion. Third, operating income is a measure commonly
used by investors to evaluate insurance companies. This measure also
is described as net income before realized investment gains and
losses.
Since 1996, Cincinnati Financial has disclosed the estimated impact of
stock options on net income and earnings per share in a Note to the
Financial Statements. During the second quarter of 2003, net income
would have been reduced by less than 2 cents per share if option
expense had been calculated using the Black-Scholes and modified
prospective transition methodologies.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John J. Schiff, Jr., CPCU, commented, "At $83 million, or 51 cents per diluted share, operating income was a second-quarter record, doubling the amount achieved in the comparable 2002 quarter. While catastrophe losses reduced earnings by 19 cents per share in both periods, the 2003 second quarter benefited from the continued growth of property casualty premium revenues and improved non-catastrophe underwriting, primarily in commercial lines, as well as higher investment income."
Six-month Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income rose 28.1 percent to $141 million, or 87 cents per share. Operating income, which excludes realized investment gains and losses, rose 47.5 percent to $180 million, or $1.11 per share.
Total revenues advanced $115 million to $1.505 billion, up 8.3 percent over last year's first half. Revenues from pre-tax investment income reached $230 million, up 5.6 percent from $218 million in last year's first six months.
Six-month catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, totaled $49 million, contributing 3.8 percentage points to the GAAP combined ratio of 96.8 percent and reducing after-tax earnings by 20 cents per share. For the first half of 2002, catastrophe losses were $62 million, contributing 5.4 percentage points to the combined ratio of 103.6 percent and reducing after-tax earnings by 24 cents per share.
Schiff commented, "Underwriting profits for the first six months reached $42 million versus a loss of $41 million last year. While better weather in this year's first quarter helped our six-month results, the real progress occurred in non-catastrophe underwriting. Excluding catastrophes, the combined ratio improved to 93.0 percent in 2003 from 98.2 percent in 2002."

Statutory net written premiums of the property casualty insurance affiliates-The Cincinnati Insurance Company, The Cincinnati Indemnity Company and The Cincinnati Casualty Company-rose 16.0 percent to $726 million compared with $626 million in last year's second quarter. Written premiums for the second quarter of 2003 included an additional $18 million, which accounted for 2.5 percentage points of the growth, related to the company's estimation process for matching written and earned premiums to policy effective dates.
The contribution to pre-tax earnings from property casualty underwriting was $11 million. On a GAAP basis, the second-quarter combined ratio was 98.4 percent, or 91.3 percent excluding catastrophe losses, comparing favorably with the 2002 second-quarter combined ratio of 108.1 percent, or 100 percent excluding catastrophes. Schiff noted, "For the fourth consecutive quarter our combined ratio has been under 100 percent and we have maintained double-digit premium growth for seven consecutive quarters. Total net written premiums grew on strong renewal pricing, with average commercial premium increases in the range of 8 percent to 15 percent. New business written directly by our agents was $87 million, up 6.2 percent over last year's second quarter. We continue to take a selective, case-by-case approach to competing for new business, maintaining an appropriate balance between growth and profitability."

Net written premiums for commercial lines of insurance rose 15.9 percent to $507 million, accounting for 69.8 percent of the company's total second-quarter premiums. New commercial business increased 9 percent to $71 million for the quarter. The GAAP combined ratio improved 11.9 percentage points to 91.4 percent. Excluding catastrophe losses, the ratio was 88.5 percent, showing 9.2 percentage points of improvement over last year's second quarter.
Schiff said, "In the markets served by our local independent agents, the ability to put together full packages gives Cincinnati an advantage. Commercial auto coverage is key to any business package, and our improving results in this line should help us continue to be the agents' No. 1 choice, as noted in the Crittenden's Property/Casualty Ratings survey results published in June. For the second quarter, commercial auto net written premiums rose 9.9 percent to $111 million, including 11 percent new business growth.
"The ability to include workers compensation coverages also enhances the value of a business package relationship," Schiff added. "While we chose to be very selective and not to renew some large workers compensation policies early in the year, improving trends now are making us positive about including this coverage in packages for Main Street accounts. Workers compensation net written premiums rose 6.5 percent for the second quarter, including 9.8 percent new business growth."

Net written premiums for the personal lines segment increased 16.4 percent to $219 million. New personal lines business decreased 5.1 percent for the second quarter. On a GAAP basis, the second-quarter combined ratio was 116.1 percent versus 120.2 percent in 2002. Excluding catastrophes, the ratio was 98.3 percent compared with 105.7 percent in last year's second quarter.
Schiff commented, "In the homeowner line, second-quarter written premiums rose 17.9 percent due to rate increases, while new business premiums declined 7.2 percent. Loss severity continues, as indicated by the unacceptable loss and loss expense ratio of 133.9 percent, or 85.1 percent excluding catastrophes. We continue to seek regulatory approvals for rate increases, with additional double-digit increases in our largest states already approved for the second half of 2003 and early 2004. Changes in terms and conditions of our homeowner policy, introduced late last year to help control water damage losses, continue to take effect as policies renew over the three-year homeowner policy period. It will take time for all of these efforts to work through our homeowner book of business.
"In the meantime, we are emphasizing the package approach by writing homeowner accounts that include coverages for personal autos, a line with more positive trends. Personal auto net written premiums rose 16.7 percent for the second quarter."

Including realized net capital losses, net income was $7 million in 2003 versus $2 million in 2002. Net written life insurance premiums rose 9.3 percent to $27 million, compared with $24 million last year.
Cincinnati Life President David H. Popplewell, FALU, LLIF, stated, "For the first half of 2003, life insurance premiums grew 6.4 percent, and new submitted applications grew 10 percent. Strong term life insurance sales have led the premium growth. The introduction of our new individual disability income riders in July and anticipated enhancements to our term and universal life products in third quarter of 2003 will strengthen our portfolio of products."

Consolidated pre-tax investment income rose 4.8 percent for the second quarter, benefiting from dividend increases announced over the last year by companies in the equity portfolio. As of June 30, 2003, 14 of the 47 equity holdings in the portfolio have announced 2003 dividend increases that total $11 million on an annualized basis.
Vice President Kenneth S. Miller, CLU, ChFC, commented, "We realized $2 million of capital gains in the second quarter, as the market moved into a recovery phase and fewer securities were impaired. Of the $17 million impaired this quarter, $14 million was fixed-income securities. Over the past several years, we have increased the average credit quality of the bond portfolio, as rated by Standard & Poor's and Moody's, and have invested in more intermediate maturities.
"During the second quarter, $169 million was available for new investments. One-third of that total was invested in common stocks, returning this allocation to our historical range. Repurchases of the company's common stock used $12 million, and the remainder was invested in fixed-income securities."

Strong Performance Improves Outlook
Schiff concluded, "As we underwrite and price new and renewal business, our agents and field representatives continue to work together, accurately measuring each risk and applying appropriate premiums, terms and conditions. Year-to-date, these efforts have generated 13.4 percent net written premium growth and positive underwriting trends. We now have higher expectations for our full-year performance, anticipating a GAAP combined ratio near the six-month ratio of 96.8 percent even if catastrophe losses for the year slightly exceed our normal 3-percentage point estimate. Catastrophe losses stand at $49 million and 3.8 percentage points on the combined ratio at six months. On a preliminary basis, we are estimating $21 million in catastrophe losses from two storms between July 1 and July 22.
"We are seeing the results of our commitment to consistent strategies. Investors know what to expect from us: conservative underwriting and reserving, an agent-centered perspective that requires us to manage for market stability and deliver superior claims service, and an investment focus on total return. With industry observers paying more attention to financial strength, Cincinnati Financial and The Cincinnati Insurance Companies are a better choice than ever for policyholders and investors."

The company's future results could differ materially from those discussed. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: unusually high levels of catastrophe losses due to changes in weather patterns or other causes; increased frequency and/or severity of claims; environmental events or changes; insurance regulatory actions, legislation or court decisions that increase expenses or place the company at a disadvantage in the marketplace; adverse outcomes from litigation or administrative proceedings; recession or other economic conditions resulting in lower demand for insurance products; sustained decline in overall stock market values negatively affecting the company's equity portfolio, in particular a sustained decline in market value of Fifth Third Bancorp shares; events that lead to a significant decline in the market value of a particular security and impairment of the asset; delays in the development, implementation and benefits of technology enhancements; and decreased ability to generate growth in investment income.
Further, the company's insurance businesses are subject to the effects of changing social, economic and regulatory environments. Public and regulatory initiatives have included efforts to adversely influence and restrict premium rates, restrict the ability to cancel policies, impose underwriting standards and expand overall regulation. The company also is subject to public and regulatory initiatives that can affect the market value for its common stock, such as recent measures impacting corporate financial reporting and governance. The ultimate changes and eventual effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Information and
Reconciliation to Comparable GAAP Measures
Cincinnati Financial Corporation prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Statutory data is prepared in accordance with statutory accounting rules as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual and therefore is not reconciled to GAAP data. Management believes that investor understanding of Cincinnati Financial Corporation's performance is enhanced by disclosure of certain non-GAAP and non-statutory financial measures:
Operating income: The difference between net income and operating income is the inclusion of net realized investment gains and losses. Management utilizes operating income to evaluate underlying performance for a number of reasons. First, quarterly fluctuations in net realized investment gains and losses are unrelated to trends in the company's insurance business. Second, among other items, net realized investment gains and losses can include gains related to the sale of investments made at management's discretion. Third, operating income is a measure commonly used by investors to evaluate insurance companies. This measure also is described as net income before realized investment gains and losses.
Catastrophe losses: Due to the nature of catastrophic events, the frequency and cost of catastrophe occurrences are unpredictable. Although management anticipates an average level of catastrophe losses, to aid in assessing the underlying performance of the business, management evaluates trends in the company's overall performance and property casualty underwriting profitability excluding the fluctuating impact of catastrophe losses.
Statutory accounting rules: For public reporting, insurance companies prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP. However, certain data also must be calculated according to statutory accounting rules as defined in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, which may be, and has been, modified by various state insurance departments. Statutory data is publicly available and used by various organizations to calculate aggregate industry data, study industry trends and make comparisons between various insurance companies.
Written premium: Under statutory accounting rules, written premium is the amount recorded for policies issued and recognized on an annualized basis at the effective date of the policy. Management analyzes trends in written premium to assess business efforts. Earned premium, which is calculated and used in both statutory and GAAP accounting, is recognized ratably over the policy term. The difference between written and earned premium is unearned premium.
Written premium adjustment -- statutory-basis only: In 2002, the company refined its estimation process for matching written and earned premiums to policy effective dates, which added $117 million to written premiums. To better assess ongoing business trends, management excludes this adjustment when evaluating trends in written premiums and statutory ratios that make use of written premiums.
Underwriting profit: Underwriting profit for property casualty insurance represents premiums earned minus loss and loss expenses and other insurance-related expenses.
In addition to items described above, management has disclosed certain non-GAAP and non-statutory financial measures for the periods prior to 2002 based on:
One-time charges or adjustments: Management analyzes results excluding
the impact of one-time items.
-- In 2000, the company recorded a one-time charge to impair previously
capitalized costs related to the development of next-generation
software to process property casualty policies.
-- In 2000, the company earned $5.3 million in interest in the first
quarter from a $302.9 million single-premium bank-owned life
insurance (BOLI) policy booked at the end of 1999 that was segregated
as a Separate Account effective April 1, 2000. Investment income and
realized capital gains and losses from separate accounts generally
accrue directly to the contract holder and, therefore, are not
included in the company's consolidated financials.
-- In 1993, results included a credit related to the method of accounting
for income taxes to confirm with Statement of Accounting Financial
Standards No. 109 and a charge related to the effect of 1993
increases in income tax rates on deferred taxes recorded for various
prior-year items.
Codification: Adoption of Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles was required for Ohio-based insurance companies effective January 1, 2001. The adoption of Codification changed the manner in which the company recognized written premiums. As a result, 2001 statutory written premiums included $402 million to account for unbooked premiums related to policies with effective dates prior to January 1, 2001. To better assess ongoing business trends, management excludes this $402 million when evaluating written premiums and statutory ratios that make use of written premiums.
