ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (000's omitted)
This Management Discussion is intended to supplement the data contained in the
financial statements and related notes of Cincinnati Financial Corporation and
subsidiaries. The following discussion, related consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes contain certain forward-looking statements
that involve potential risks and uncertainties. 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 natural
causes; changes in insurance regulations or legislation that place the Company
at a disadvantage in the marketplace; recession or other economic conditions
resulting in lower demand for insurance products; sustained decline in overall
stock market values negatively impacting the Company's equity portfolio and the
ability to generate investment income; and the potential inability of the
Company and/or the independent agencies with which it works to complete the
necessary information system changes required to handle the Year 2000 issue.
Readers are cautioned that the Company undertakes no obligation to review or
update the forward-looking statements included in this material.
Premiums earned for the three months ended March 31, 1999 have increased $19,208
(5%) over the three months ended March 31, 1998. For our property and casualty
insurance companies, gross written premiums increased $18,426 and gross earned
premiums increased by $19,878. The growth rate of our property and casualty
subsidiaries on a gross written and earned basis is less than last year. The
growth rate is less than last year because the increase in new business and some
rate increases on personal lines business were offset by a continued soft
commercial lines market and lower premiums on workers' compensation coverages.
The premium volume of our life and health company has increased approximately 9%
as the Company had increases in both life and health insurance production. The
premium growth in our life subsidiary is mainly attributable to increased sales
of both traditional and work site marketing products. For the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999, investment income, net of expenses, has increased $5,516
(6%) when compared with the first three months of 1999. This increase is the
result of the growth of the investment portfolio because of investing cash flows
from operations and dividend increases from equity securities.
Realized gains on investments for the three months ended March 31, 1999 amounted
to $24,746 compared to $25,642 for the comparable three-month period ended March
31, 1998. The realized gains are predominantly the result of the sale of equity
securities and management's decision to realize the gains and reinvest the
proceeds at higher yields. Other equity securities are sold at the discretion of
management and reinvested in other equity securities.
Insurance losses and policyholder benefits (net of reinsurance recoveries)
increased $54,335 (20%) for the first three months of 1999 over the same period
in 1998. Property and casualty company losses increased $54,190 in the first
quarter of 1999, compared to the first quarter of 1998. Catastrophic claims were
higher by $20,522 in the same period. Policyholder benefits increased $145 over
the first quarter of 1998 in the life insurance subsidiary.
Commission expenses increased $2,704 for the first quarter of 1999 compared to
the same period of 1998. The increase for the year matches the premium growth.
Other operating expenses increased $1,686 for the three-month period ended March
31, 1999 compared to the same period for 1998. The increase is attributable to
increases in staff and costs associated to our investment in infrastructure to
support future growth. Taxes, licenses, and fees decreased $2,613 for the first
quarter of 1999, compared to the first quarter of 1998. The decrease is
attributable to decreases in tax rates in our domicile state Ohio, and related
lower retaliatory taxes. Interest expense increased $2,447 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1999 compared to the same period for 1998. The increase
is attributable to increased debt and to the higher interest rate of the 30-year
senior debenture compared to short-term debt previously held.
9
Provision for income taxes, current and deferred, have decreased by $14,571 for
the first three months of 1999 compared to the first three months of 1998. The
decrease in federal taxes is attributable to lower income before taxes and a
decrease in the effective tax rate from 27.64% to 21.43% at March 31, 1998 and
1999.
In the first quarter of 1999, the Company experienced a decrease in gains
unrealized in investments, compared to an increase in unrealized gains in
investments in the first quarter of 1998, resulting in comprehensive income of
$(126,205) in 1999, compared to $367,575 in 1998.
The Company has been working on the Year 2000 project for several years to
address potential problems within the Company's operations that could result
from the century change. The corporate Information Systems Department is
primarily responsible for this endeavor and has a designated team of Company
associates assigned to this effort. This team has access to key associates in
all areas of the Company's operations as well as to outside consultants and
resources on an as-needed basis.
The Information Systems Department provides a comprehensive report on a
quarterly basis for corporate management and the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors. This report identifies progress against the plan as well as
projections on specific issues.
% of Hardware/Software Applications Year 2000 Compliant
-------------------------------------------------------
Actual as of Planned as of
March 31, 1999 June 30, 1999
-------------- -------------
Mission critical systems 95% 100%
All other systems 95% 100%
We have identified computer systems (both hardware and software), including
equipment with embedded computer chips, that were not Year 2000 compliant;
determined what revisions or replacements would be needed to achieve compliance;
prioritized and proceeded to implement those revisions or replacements;
instituted testing procedures to ensure that the revisions and fixes are
operational; and moved the compliant systems into production. As of March 31,
1999, approximately 95% of the applications have either been modified to be
compliant or have been replaced by purchased compliant systems. Additional
in-depth testing, both internal and third-party related, is planned into 1999.
We believe that all critical systems will be Year 2000 compliant by June 30,
1999.
As part of the overall review of Year 2000, the Company is verifying with
certain key outside vendors, and with others where a significant business
relationship exists to determine their Year 2000 compliance status and plans.
Because the Company markets products through independent agencies, it is of
paramount importance that those approximately 1,000 agencies (1,300 offices)
successfully transition to a Year 2000 compliant processing system. We are
actively working with those agencies. As of March 31, 1999, nearly all of the
agencies' processing systems have either been made compliant or the agencies
have plans to get them compliant by June 30, 1999. Phone and personal interviews
are being used to verify the progress of the agencies.
Contingency planning for the Year 2000 includes standard backup and recovery
procedures to be followed in the event of a critical system failure. While we do
not expect any unusual kinds of failure as a result of specific Year 2000
related changes, by June 30, 1999, we plan to develop specific backup procedures
for the Year 2000 to minimize the effect of any potential problems.
Should the Company or a third party with whom the Company transacts business
have a system failure due to the century change, it is believed it will not
result in more than a delay in processing or reporting, with no material
financial impact.
10
We have budgeted $9.5 million pretax to resolve the Year 2000 issues. This would
encompass the costs of modifications, the salaries of the associates primarily
assigned to this effort and the fees of outside consultants for this effort. As
of March 31, 1999, the Company has incurred approximately $8.8 million of these
costs. The expenses incurred during the first three months of 1999 were
approximately $.9 million.
Although the Company expects its systems to be Year 2000 compliant on or before
December 31, 1999, it cannot predict the outcome or the success of its Year 2000
project, or that third-party systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant, or that
the costs required to address the Year 2000 issue or the impact of a failure to
achieve substantial Year 2000 compliance will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Market Risk--The Company could incur losses due to adverse changes in market
rates and prices. The Company's primary market risk exposures are to changes in
price for equity securities and changes in interest rates and credit ratings for
fixed maturity securities. The Company could alter the existing investment
portfolios or change the character of future investments to manage exposure to
market risk. CFC, with the Board of Directors, administers and oversees
investment risk through the Investment Committee, which provides executive
oversight of investment activities. The Company has specific investment
guidelines and policies that define the overall framework used daily by
investment portfolio managers to limit the Company's exposure to market risk.
On February 6, 1999, the Board authorized repurchase of up to seventeen million
of the Company's outstanding shares, with the intent to complete the repurchase
by December 31, 2000. This authorization supersedes the previous authorization
of nine million shares. As of March 31, 1999, the Company has repurchased 1,742
shares, leaving 15,258 future repurchased shares authorized.
