SAP Personal and Commercial Operating Results
Net written premium for the third quarter 2020 increased 9.2% compared to the same period in 2019. By insurance segment, net written premium for the personal and commercial segments increased 9.7% and 8.3%, respectively. The increase in the personal segment was primarily due to new business growth and rate increases in homeowners and other personal. The improvement was partially offset by a decrease in net written premiums in personal auto due to a decline in new business. The increase in the commercial segment was primarily driven by (i) new business growth and rate increases in commercial auto, and (ii) new business growth in farm & ranch. The improvement was partially offset by a decrease in net written premiums in workers’ compensation due to (i) a decline in new business as a result of COVID-19, and (ii) continued intense competition in this market.
Net written premium for the first nine months of 2020 increased 11.3% compared to the same period in 2019. Net written premium for the personal and commercial segments increased 10.1% and 13.4%, respectively. The trends in the personal and commercial net written premiums are due to the same factors discussed above for the third quarter. In addition, the increase in the commercial segment was also driven by rate increases in middle market commercial.
The SAP personal and commercial segments' combined ratio2 for the third quarter 2020 was 102.2 compared to 98.7 for the same 2019 period. Catastrophe losses during the third quarter 2020 accounted for 13.1 points of the 68.5 total loss ratio points, or $46.4 million, versus 3.2 points of the 65.4 total loss ratio points, or $10.3 million, for the same period in 2019. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE during the third quarter 2020 included 5.2 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $18.4 million, versus 4.8 points of favorable development, or $15.2 million, for the same period in 2019.
The SAP personal and commercial segments' combined ratio for the first nine months of 2020 was 106.9 compared to 102.7 for the same 2019 period. Catastrophe losses during the first nine months of 2020 accounted for 17.4 points of the total 72.9 loss ratio points, or $178.6 million, versus 7.8 of the total 68.5 loss ratio points, or $71.7 million, for the same period in 2019.

Book Value and Return on Equity
STFC’s book value increased to $21.57 per share as of September 30, 2020, compared to $21.26 on June 30, 2020. The increase in book value was driven by investment results.

STFC’s Chairman, President and CEO Mike LaRocco commented on the quarter as follows:
"While catastrophes had a significant impact on our third quarter 2020 results, we continue to feel very good about our continued progress toward consistent profitability and growth. Our digital transformation continued, with ongoing improvements to our State Auto Connect technology, including last month’s launch of our 15th and final product, workers’ compensation, on the platform. In five years we were able to transform all of our products onto an industry leading digital platform, a monumental achievement.
"I’m proud of the work of our Claims and Risk Engineering (CARE) professionals and customer service teams who continued to support our policyholders through some of the most difficult times in their lives. From the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to civil unrest and severe weather, our CARE and Customer Service professionals once again delivered exceptional service.
"The SAP personal and commercial segments produced 9.2% net written premium growth during the third quarter, with a combined ratio of 102.2 that included 13.1 points of catastrophe losses. Personal lines produced 9.7% net written premium growth and a combined ratio of 111.5, including 15.8 points of catastrophe losses. Commercial lines’ 88.9 combined ratio included 9.3 points of catastrophe losses, and produced 8.3% net written premium growth.
"Due to catastrophic weather, our third quarter results fell short of expectations, but the passion and determination that fueled our turnaround still delivered an excellent quarter and will drive us toward growth and profitability in the quarters ahead."

1 Net earnings (loss) from operations, a non-GAAP financial measure which management believes is informative to Company management and investors, differs from GAAP net income (loss) only by the exclusion of net investment gain (loss), net of applicable taxes, on investment activity for the periods being reported. For STFC, this amounted to income of $0.36 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2020 and a loss of $0.71 year to date 2020 versus loss of $0.09 per diluted share for the third quarter 2019 and income of $0.91 year to date 2019.
2 Insurance industry regulators require STFC's insurance subsidiaries to report their financial condition and results of operations using Statutory Accounting Practices ("SAP"). The SAP personal and commercial segments' combined ratio is a measure used by management to evaluate STFC’s operating performance for its ongoing operations. Details behind the compilation of these results can be found in the SAP Commercial Insurance Segment Results of this release.
