NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
($ in Millions, Except Share Data)

1.Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation:

Accounting Principles - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with these notes and those included in the Company's 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated herein by reference.

Pertinent accounting and disclosure pronouncements issued from time to time by the FASB are adopted by the Company as they become effective. Recent pronouncements are discussed below.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the FASB’s accounting guidance on current expected credit loss ("CECL") which requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, primarily including the Company’s reinsurance recoverables, and its accounts and notes receivable. CECL replaced the incurred loss impairment model that recognized losses when a probability threshold is met with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased and at subsequent measurement dates. The expected credit losses, and subsequent adjustment to such losses, are recorded through an allowance account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, with the net carrying value of the asset presented on the consolidated balance sheet.

The guidance relating to financial assets measured at amortized cost was adopted on a modified retrospective basis, resulting in a net of tax adjustment to January 1, 2020 retained earnings of $2.3. The Company’s January 1, 2020 credit loss allowance of $30.1 was comprised of $14.5 related to reinsurance recoverables, $15.5 related to accounts and notes receivable, and an immaterial amount related to held to maturity securities. The March 31, 2021 allowance included $16.0 related to reinsurance recoverables and $21.9 related to accounts and notes receivable. No significant charges were made to the allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The guidance also modifies the impairment model for available for sale fixed maturity securities by requiring the recognition of impairments relating to credit losses through an allowance account, as opposed to a charge that cannot be revised should the underlying security recover. Under the guidance, the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position will no longer impact the determination as to whether an impairment exists. The revised impairment guidance for available for sale fixed maturity securities was adopted on a prospective basis. The Company's impairment policy and the related disclosures summarizing this standard’s impact on the Company’s investment portfolio are included in Note 3.

The financial accounting and reporting process relies on estimates and on the exercise of judgment. In the opinion of management all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of interim periods' results and financial position have been recorded. Pertinent accounting and disclosure pronouncements issued from time to time by the FASB are adopted by the Company as they become effective.

Statement Presentation - Amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements and applicable notes are stated (except as otherwise indicated and as to share data) in millions, which amounts may not add to totals shown due to truncation.

Reclassifications - Necessary reclassifications are made in prior periods' financial statements whenever appropriate to conform to the most current presentation.

Immaterial AdjustmentInvestments - The Company recorded immaterial adjustmentsclassifies its fixed income securities, also referred to present revenues gross of the applicable commission expenses in the March 31, 2020 consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income by: increasing net premiums earned by $101.3, decreasing title, escrow and other fees by $38.8, and increasing underwriting, acquisition, and other expenses by $62.5. These immaterial adjustments were made to conform all prior periods to the current presentation and had no impact on net income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) or shareholders' equity.

2. Common Share Data:

Earnings Per Share - Consolidated basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares actually outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are similarly calculated with the inclusion of dilutive common stock equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) and the number of shares used in basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

(a) In calculating earnings per share, pertinent accounting rules require that common shares owned by the Company's Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan that are not yet allocated to participants in the plan be excluded from the calculation. Such shares are issued and outstanding, and have the same voting and other rights applicable to all common shares.

3. Investments:

The Company classifies itsas fixed maturity securities, as those it either (1) has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, (2) has available for sale or (3) has the intention of trading. The Company's entire fixed maturityincome portfolio is classified as available for sale.

Fixed maturityincome securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value with changes in such values, net of deferred income taxes, reflected directly in shareholders' equity. Equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in such values reflected as unrealized investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of income. Fair values for fixed maturity securities and equity securities are based on quoted market prices or estimates using values obtained from recognized independent pricing services.

The status and fair value changes of each of the fixed maturityincome investments are reviewed at least once per quarter during the year to assess whether a decline in fair value of an investment below its cost basis is the result of a credit loss. Credit losses are recorded through an allowance with the corresponding charge to realized investment gains (losses). If the Company intends to sell or is more likely than not required to sell a security, the asset is written down to fair value directly through realized investment gains (losses).

Investment income is reported net of allocated expenses and estimatesincludes appropriate adjustments for amortization of impairmentspremium and allowances for creditaccretion of discount on fixed income securities acquired at other than par value. Dividends on equity securities are credited to income on the ex-dividend date. At March 31, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries did not have significant amounts of non-income producing fixed income or equity securities.

Investment gains and losses, which result from sales or write downs of securities, are reflected as revenues in the portfolio's valueincome statement and are evaluateddetermined on the basis of amortized cost at date of sale for fixed income securities, and established at each quarterly balance sheet date. In reviewing investments for impairment,cost in regard to equity securities; such bases apply to the Company, in additionspecific securities sold.

Revenue Recognition- Pursuant to a security's market price history, considersGAAP applicable to the totality of such factors as the issuer's operating results, financial condition and liquidity, its ability to access capital markets, credit rating trends, most current audited financial statements,insurance industry, and securities markets conditions, and analyst expectations to reach its conclusions. Sudden fair value declines caused by such adverse developments as newly emerged or imminent bankruptcy filings, issuer default on significant obligations, or reports of financial accounting developments that bring into question the validity of the issuer's previously reported earnings or financial condition,revenues are recognized as realized lossesfollows:

Substantially all general insurance premiums pertain to annual policies and are reflected in income on a pro-rata basis in association with the related benefits, claims, and expenses.

Title premium and fee revenues stemming from the Company's direct operations (which include branch offices of its title insurers and wholly owned agency subsidiaries) represent approximately 20% of 2022 consolidated title business revenues. Such premiums are generally recognized as soonincome at the escrow closing date which approximates the policy effective date. Fee income related to escrow and other closing services is recognized when the related services have been performed and completed. The remaining title premium and fee revenues are produced by independent title agents. Rather than making estimates that could be subject to significant variance from actual premium and fee production, the Company recognizes revenues from those sources upon receipt. Such receipts can reflect a three to four month lag relative to the effective date of the underlying title policy, and are offset concurrently by production expenses and claim reserve provisions.

Losses, Claims and Settlement Expenses - The establishment of claim reserves by the Company's insurance subsidiaries is a reasonably complex and dynamic process influenced by a large variety of factors. These factors principally include past experience applicable to the anticipated costs of various types of claims, continually evolving and changing legal theories emanating from the judicial system, recurring accounting, statistical, and actuarial studies, the professional experience and expertise of the Company's claim departments' personnel or attorneys and independent claim adjusters, ongoing changes in claim frequency or severity patterns such as credible publicly available information emergesthose caused by natural disasters, illnesses, accidents, work-related injuries, and changes in general and industry-specific economic conditions. Consequently, the reserves established are a reflection of the opinions of a large number of persons, of the application and interpretation of historical precedent and trends, of expectations as to confirmfuture developments, and of management's judgment in interpreting all such developments.factors. At any point in time, the Company is exposed to the possibility of higher or lower than anticipated claim costs due to all of these factors, and to the evolution, interpretation, and
8


expansion of tort law, as well as the effects of unexpected jury verdicts.

All reserves are therefore based on estimates which are periodically reviewed and evaluated in the light of emerging claim experience and changing circumstances. The resulting changes in estimates are recorded in operations of the periods during which they are made. Return and additional premiums and policyholders' dividends, all of which tend to be affected by development of claims in future years, may offset, in whole or in part, favorable or unfavorable claim developments for certain coverages such as workers' compensation, portions of which are written under loss sensitive programs that provide for such adjustments. Management believes that its overall reserving practices have been consistently applied over many years, and that its aggregate net reserves have generally resulted in reasonable approximations of the ultimate net costs of claims incurred. However, no representation is made nor is any guaranty given that ultimate net claim and related costs will not develop in future years to be significantly greater or lower than currently established reserve estimates.

The Company’s accounting policy regarding the establishment of claim reserve estimates is described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Old Republic’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Employee Benefit Plans - The Company has a closed pension plan (the "Plan") for certain employees under which benefits were frozen as of December 31, 2013. The underfunded status of the Plan is recognized 0 impairments or allowances for credit losses foras a net pension liability with offsetting entries reflected as a component of shareholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.

The Company also provides long-term incentive awards to certain employees. In March 2022, the quarters ended March 31, 2021, and 2020.Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant of stock-based awards to certain employees under the 2022 Incentive Compensation Plan which is pending shareholder approval in May 2022.

During the first quarters of 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company recognized pretax unrealized investment gains (losses) of $367.5$79.8 and $(962.7),$367.5, respectively, emanating from changes in the fair value of equity securities in the consolidated statements of income. Changes in the fair value of equity securities still held at March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $182.2, and 2020 were $359.8, and $(956.8), respectively.

Fair Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the estimated price that is likely to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (an exit price) at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the sources ("inputs") used to measure fair value into three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2 observable inputs are based on corroboration with available market data; and Level 3 unobservable inputs are based on uncorroborated market data or a reporting entity's own assumptions. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and general classification used for financial instruments measured at fair value.

The Company uses quoted values and other data provided by a nationally recognized independent pricing source as inputs into its quarterly process for determining fair values of fixed maturityincome and equity securities. To validate the techniques or models used by pricing sources, the Company's review process includes, but is not limited to: (i) initial and ongoing evaluation of methodologies used by outside parties to calculate fair value; and (ii) comparisons with other sources including the fair value estimates based on current market quotations, and with independent fair value estimates provided by the independent investment custodian. The independent pricing source obtains market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets and uses their own proprietary method for determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded. In general, these methods involve the use of "matrix pricing" in which the independent pricing source uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads, benchmarking of like securities, broker-dealer quotes, reported trades and sector groupings to determine a reasonable fair value.

Level 1 securities include U.S. and Canadian Treasury notes, publicly traded common stocks, mutual funds, and short-term investments in highly liquid money market instruments. Level 2 securities generally include corporate
10


bonds, municipal bonds, and certain U.S. and Canadian government agency securities. Securities classified within Level 3 include non-publicly traded bonds and equity securities. There were no significant changes in the fair value of Level 3 assets as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Investment gains and losses, which result from sales or impairments of securities, are reflected as revenues in the income statement and are determined on the basis of amortized cost at date of sale for fixed maturity securities, and cost in regard to equity securities; such bases apply to the specific securities sold. Unrealized gains and (losses) from changes in fair value of equity securities are recorded as investment gains (losses) in the income statement. Unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities, net of any deferred income taxes, are recorded directly as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. At March 31, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries did not have significant amounts of non-income producing fixed maturity or equity securities.

4.Note 3 - Losses, Claims and Settlement Expenses:Expenses

The establishment of claim reserves by the Company's insurance subsidiaries is a reasonably complex and dynamic process influenced by a large variety of factors. These factors principally include past experience applicable to the anticipated costs of various types of claims, continually evolving and changing legal theories emanating from the judicial system, recurring accounting, statistical, and actuarial studies, the professional experience and expertise of the Company's claim departments' personnel or attorneys and independent claim adjusters, ongoing changes in claim frequency or severity patterns such as those caused by natural disasters, illnesses, accidents, work-related injuries, and changes in general and industry-specific economic conditions. Consequently, the reserves established are a reflection of the opinions of a large number of persons, of the application and interpretation of historical precedent and trends, of expectations as to future developments, and of management's judgment in interpreting all such factors. At any point in time, the Company is exposed to the incurrence of possibly higher or lower than anticipated claim costs due to all of these factors, and to the evolution, interpretation, and expansion of tort law, as well as the effects of unexpected jury verdicts.

All reserves are therefore based on estimates which are periodically reviewed and evaluated in the light of emerging claim experience and changing circumstances. The resulting changes in estimates are recorded in operations of the periods during which they are made. Return and additional premiums and policyholders' dividends, all of which tend to be affected by development of claims in future years, may offset, in whole or in part, favorable or unfavorable claim developments for certain coverages such as workers' compensation, portions of which are written under loss sensitive programs that provide for such adjustments. The Company believes that its overall reserving practices have been consistently applied over many years, and that its aggregate net reserves have generally resulted in reasonable approximations of the ultimate net costs of claims incurred. However, no representation is made nor is any guaranty given that ultimate net claim and related costs will not develop in future years to be greater or lower than currently established reserve estimates.

The Company’s accounting policy regarding the establishment of claim reserve estimates is described in Note 1(h) to the consolidated financial statements included in Old Republic’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table shows an analysis of changes in aggregate reserves for the Company's losses, claims and settlement expenses for each of the periods shown.expenses:

5. Employee Benefit Plans:

The Company had an active pension plan (the "Plan") covering a portion of its work force until December 31, 2013. The Plan is a defined benefit plan pursuant to which pension payments are based primarily on years of service and employee compensation near retirement. The Plan was closed to new participants and benefits were frozen as of December 31, 2013. As a result, eligible employees retained all of the vested rights as of the effective date of the freeze. While additional benefits no longer accrue, the Company's cumulative obligation continues to be subject to

further adjustment due to changes in actuarial assumptions such as expected mortality and changes in interest rates. Net periodic pension costs for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were not material to Old Republic's consolidated statements of income.

6. Information About Segments of Business:

Old Republic is engaged in the single business of insurance underwriting and related services. The Company conducts its operations through a number of regulated insurance company subsidiaries organized into 3 major segments, namely its General Insurance (property and liability insurance), Title Insurance, and the Republic Financial Indemnity Group ("RFIG") Run-off Business. The results of a small life and accident insurance business are included with those of the parent holding company and its internal corporate services subsidiaries. Each of the Company's segments underwrites and services only those insurance coverages which may be written by it pursuant to state insurance regulations and corporate charter provisions. Segment results exclude investment gains or losses and impairments as these are aggregated in the consolidated totals. The contributions of Old Republic's insurance industry segments to consolidated totals are shown in the following table.

9. Income Taxes:Taxes

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by the Company are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. To the best of management's knowledge, there are no tax uncertainties that are expected to result in significant increases or decreases to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve month period. The Company views its income tax exposures as primarily consisting of timing differences whereby the ultimate deductibility of a taxable amount is highly certain but the timing of its deductibility is uncertain. Such differences relate principally to the timing of deductions for loss and premium reserves. As in prior examinations, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could assert that claim reserve deductions were overstated thereby reducing the Company's statutory taxable income in any particular year. The Company believes that it establishes its reserves fairly and consistently at each balance sheet date, and that it would succeed in defending its tax position in these regards. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, the possible accelerated payment of tax to the IRS would not necessarily affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company classifies interest and penalties as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income. The Company is not currently under audit by the IRS and 20172018 and subsequent tax years remain open.

Note 5 - Net Income Per Share

Consolidated basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares actually outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are similarly calculated with the inclusion of dilutive common stock equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) and the number of shares used in basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

(a) In calculating earnings per share, pertinent accounting standards require that common shares owned by the Company's Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan that are not yet allocated to participants in the plan be excluded from the calculation. Such shares are issued and outstanding, and have the same voting and other rights applicable to all common shares.

Note 6 - Credit Losses

Credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, primarily the Company’s reinsurance recoverables and accounts and notes receivable, are recognized based on estimated losses expected to occur over the life of the asset. The expected credit losses, and subsequent adjustment to such losses, are recorded through an allowance account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, with the net carrying value of the asset presented on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s credit allowance was comprised of $16.0 related to reinsurance recoverables as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and $25.1 and $24.1 related to accounts and notes receivable, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company’s evaluation of credit allowances on available for sale fixed income securities is discussed further in Note 2. The Company is not exposed to material concentrations of credit risks as to any one issuer of investment securities.

Note 9 - Information About Segments of Business

The Company is engaged in the single business of insurance underwriting and related services. It conducts its operations through a number of regulated insurance company subsidiaries organized into 3 major segments: General Insurance (property and liability insurance), Title Insurance and the Republic Financial Indemnity Group ("RFIG") Run-off. The results of a small life and accident insurance business are included within the Corporate & Other caption of this report. Old Republic's business is managed for the long run. In this context management's key objectives are to achieve highly profitable operating results over the long term, and to ensure balance sheet strength for the primary needs of the insurance subsidiaries' underwriting and related services business. In this view, the evaluation of periodic and long-term results excludes consideration of all investment gains (losses). Under GAAP, however, net income, inclusive of investment gains (losses), is the measure of total profitability. In management's opinion, the focus on income excluding investment gains (losses), also described herein as segment pretax operating income (loss), provides a better way to analyze, evaluate, and establish accountability for the results of the insurance operations. The inclusion of realized investment gains (losses) in net income can mask trends in operating results, because such realizations are often highly discretionary. Similarly, the inclusion of unrealized investment gains (losses) in equity securities can further distort such operating results with significant period-to-period fluctuations. The contributions of Old Republic's insurance industry segments to consolidated totals are shown in the following table.

OLD REPUBLIC INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarters Ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021
($ in Millions, Except Share Data)
OVERVIEW

This management analysis of financial position and results of operations pertains to the consolidated accounts of Old Republic International Corporation ("Old Republic", "ORI", or "the Company"). The Company conducts its operations principally through a number of regulated insurance company subsidiaries organized into three major regulatory segments, namely, itssegments: General Insurance (property and liability)liability insurance), Title Insurance and the RFIG Run-off Business.Republic Financial Indemnity Group ("RFIG") Run-off. A small life and accident insurance business, accounting for .2%.1% of consolidated operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 20212022 and .6%.5% of consolidated assets as of that date, is included within the corporate and otherCorporate & Other caption of this report.

The consolidated accounts are presented in conformity with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). As a publicly held company, Old Republic utilizes GAAP largely to comply with the financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). From time to time the FASB and the SEC issue various releases, many of which require additional financial statement disclosures and provide related application guidance. Recent guidance issued by the FASB is summarized further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements where applicable.

As a state regulated financial institution vested with the public interest, however, business of the Company's insurance subsidiaries is managed pursuant to the laws, regulations, and accounting practices of the various states in the U.S. and those of a small number of other jurisdictions outside the U.S. in which they operate. In comparison with GAAP, the statutory accounting practices reflect greater conservatism and comparability among insurers, and are intended to address the primary financial security interests of policyholders and their beneficiaries. Additionally, these practices also affect a significant number of important factors such as product pricing, risk bearing capacity and capital adequacy, the determination of Federal income taxes payable currently among ORI's tax-consolidated entities, and the upstreaming of dividends by insurance subsidiaries to the parent holding company. The major differences between these statutory financial accounting practices and GAAP are summarized in Note 1(a)1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Old Republic's 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The insurance business is distinguished from most others in that the prices (premiums) charged for various insurancemost products are set without certainty ofknowing what the ultimate benefit and claim costs that will emerge, oftenbe. We also can't know exactly when claims will be paid, which may be many years after issuance and expiration of a policy.policy was issued or expired. This basic fact casts Old Republic as a risk-taking enterprise managed for the long run. ManagementOld Republic therefore conducts the business with a primary focus on achieving favorable underwriting results over cycles, and on the maintenance ofmaintaining a sound financial soundness incondition to support of the insuranceour subsidiaries' long-term obligations to policyholders and their beneficiaries. To achieve these objectives, adherence to insurance risk management principles is stressed, and asset diversification and quality are emphasized. In addition, management engages in an ongoing assessment of operating risks, such as cybersecurity risks, that could adversely affect the Company's business and reputation.

In addition to income arising from Old Republic's basic underwriting and related services functions, significant investment income is earned from invested funds generated by those functions and from capital resources. Investment management aims for stability of income from interest and dividends, protection of capital, and for sufficiency of liquidity to meet insurance underwriting and other obligations as they become payable in the future. Securities trading and the realization of capital gains are not primary objectives. The investment philosophy is therefore best characterized as emphasizing value, credit quality, and relatively long-term holding periods. The Company's ability to hold both fixed maturityincome and equity securities for long periods of time is in turn enabled by the scheduling of maturities in contemplation of an appropriate matching of assets and liabilities, and by investments in large capitalization, highly liquid equity securities.

In light of the above factors, the Company's affairs areCompany is managed for the long run and without significantwith little regard to the arbitrary strictures offor quarterly or even annual reporting periods that American industry must observe. In Old Republic's view, such short reportingperiods. These time frames do not comport well with the long-term nature of much of its business.are too short. Management therefore believes that the Company's operating results and financial condition canare best be evaluated by observinglooking at underwriting and overall operating performance trends over succeeding five-10-year intervals.

Old Republic International Corporation reported pretax income, excluding investment gains, of $237.5 for the quarter. The decline compared to the 2021 period, is within our expectations as increasing mortgage interest rates began to affect Title Insurance results. Both General Insurance and Title Insurance produced solid underwriting results that drove a consolidated combined ratio of 91.9% for the quarter.

Consolidated net premiums and fees earned was $1.9 billion for the quarter representing growth of 4.4% compared to the 2021 period. General Insurance net earned premiums grew by 6.0%, while Title Insurance growth in premium and fees was tempered by lower revenues within their direct operations. Net investment income increased slightly for the quarter, reflecting growth in the invested asset base, offset by lower investment yields earned.

Book value per share was $22.23 as of March 31, 2022, reflecting interest rate driven unrealized losses in the fixed income portfolio, offset by operating earnings. With the addition of dividends declared during the quarter, this was a decrease of 1.3% over year-end 2021.


This year’s first quarter consolidated pretax income, excluding investment gains or losses continued to show strong growth in profitability in the General Insurance and Title Insurance businesses. Solid underwriting results produced a consolidated combined ratio of 90.9%, compared to 95.1% in the first quarter of 2020. Total and per share net income reflect significant changes in the fair value of equity securities, particularly by comparison to 2020’s first quarter when equity markets were disrupted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
19


In the first quarter the economy began to recover from the effects of the pandemic as the widespread distribution of effective vaccines commenced. General Insurance earned premiums increased slightly compared to the first quarter of 2020 when the impact of the pandemic was not yet reflected. Title Insurance continued to experience robust growth in premium and fee revenues as low interest rates and a favorable real estate market persisted. The RFIG Run-off business produced a small underwriting profit as delinquencies continued to decline from the elevated levels at the height of the pandemic.

Net investment income decreased for the quarter as moderate growth in the invested asset base was more than offset by lower investment yields. As the equity market performance continued to improve, the Company’s common stock portfolio appreciated, however was partially offset by declines in the fixed maturity portfolio. This overall favorable investment valuation, along with higher retained earnings contributed to an increased book value per share of $21.59 as of March 31, 2021 from $20.75 at December 31, 2020.

As the economy emerges from the impacts of the pandemic, premium and fee revenues in General Insurance could continue growing, especially compared to the 2020 periods where exposure levels were lower due to the effects of the pandemic on economic activity and employment levels. Title Insurance premium and fee revenues could remain strong as long as low interest rates and a favorable real estate market continue. In the RFIG Run-off business, future claims experience could depend upon the continued, mitigating effects of loan forbearance programs mandated by the Federal government, and the rate at which employment levels recover. Management believes that the Company’s strong financial condition will enable it to thrive as the economy recovers.

Old Republic's business is managed for the long run. In this context management's key objectives are to achieve highly profitable operating results over the long term, and to ensure balance sheet strength for the primary needs of the insurance subsidiaries' underwriting and related services business. In this view, the evaluation of periodic and long-term results excludes consideration of all investment gains and (losses). Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), however, net income, (loss), which includes all specifically defined realized and unrealizedinclusive of investment gains and (losses), is the measure of total profitability.

In management's opinion, the focus on income (loss) excluding all investment gains and losses(losses), also described herein as segment pretax operating income (loss), provides a better way to realistically analyze, evaluate, and establish accountability for the results and benefits that arise from the basic operations of the business.insurance operations. The inclusion of realized investment gains and (losses) in net income (loss) can mask the reality and trends in the fundamental operating results, of the insurance business. That is because their realization is, moresuch realizations are often than not, highly discretionary. It is usually affected by the timing of individual securities sales, tax-planning considerations, and modifications of investment management judgments about the direction of securities markets or the prospects of individual investees or industry sectors. Moreover,Similarly, the inclusion of unrealized investment gains and

(losses) in equity securities can further distort such operating results and trends therein and thus lead to even greaterwith significant period-to-period fluctuations in reported net income (loss). The impact of the continuous volatility in stock market valuations is most evident in its net of tax effect on net income (loss) for the periods reported upon.fluctuations.

(a) Certain reclassification adjustments were made to increase net premiums and fees earned with a corresponding increase to sales and general expenses of $62.5 in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. These adjustments were made to conform the prior period to the current presentation to reflect such revenues gross of applicable commission expense and had no impact on segmented pretax operating income (loss).

Title Insurance net premiums and fees earned increasedgrew by approximately 40%3.2% in the quarter. Agency revenues continued to increase over the first quarter of 2020, with strong results generatedprior period although at a lower rate than in recent quarters. Revenue from both agency and direct production channels. This performance was drivenchannels declined in the quarter, and we expect both directly produced and agency produced revenues to be lower throughout the year when compared to prior year periods. Increases in mortgage interest rates significantly reduced refinance activity in the quarter and likely will for the remainder of the year. Purchase order levels were in line with the prior period and continue to benefit from strong housing prices. Ongoing increases in mortgage interest rates may affect purchase activity through the remainder of the year. Net investment income increased slightly in the quarter, reflecting growth in the invested asset base, offset by a continued low interest rate environment and a robust real estate market, resulting in an increase in both purchase transactions and refinance activity.lower investment yields earned.

The Title Insurance reportedInsurance's claim ratio trended slightly lowerratios were relatively flat for the quarter. The first quarter influenced by favorable reserve development from prior periods. The expense ratio improved overwas elevated compared to the prior year’s firstsame quarter fromlast year, generally reflecting the combination of lower directly produced revenues that carry higher fixed expenses, along with a greater leverageproportion of agency produced revenues that have a higher overall expense ratio.

Pretax operating results of RFIG Run-off reflect the expected continuing drop in net earned premiums fromin line with the declining risk in force, and significantly lower claim costs affected bycompared to the economic impacts of2021 period. Net investment income decreased in the pandemic. Whereas delinquency trends continued to improve in 2021’s first quarter, they remain elevated by comparison to pre-pandemic levels. Investment income declined asreflecting a result ofdeclining invested asset base, and lower investment yields earned. Extraordinary dividends of $35.0 million were paid to the parent company during the quarter. Claim costs reflect significantly fewer newly reported delinquencies along with improving trends in cure rates, influenced by a relatively strong economy and to a lesser extent a lower invested asset base.real estate market.

Prior toTogether, these factors produced significantly greater pretax operating income for the onset of the pandemic, as indicated in the far right column of the following table, the RFIG Run-off claim ratios had experienced a decline in recent periods largely due to a combination of declining new loan defaults and stable-to-improving cure rates for outstanding delinquent loans.period reported.

Old Republic's invested assets portfolio is directed in consideration of enterprise-wide risk management objectives. Most importantly, these are intended to ensure solid funding of the insurance subsidiaries' long-term claim payment obligations to customers, policyholders and their beneficiaries, as well as the long-term stability of the subsidiaries’ capital accounts.base. For these reasons, the investment portfolio contains no significant insurance risk-correlateddoes not contain high risk or illiquid asset exposuresclasses and has zero or extremely limited exposure to, real estate, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations (CDO's), derivatives,credit default and interest rate swaps, hybrid securities, asset-backed securities (ABS), guaranteed investment contracts (GIC), structured investment vehicles (SIV), auction rate variable short-term securities, limited partnerships, derivatives, hedge funds or illiquid private equity and hedge fund investments. Moreover, the Company does not engage in hedging or securities lending transactions, nor does it invest in securities whose values are predicated on non-regulated financial instruments exhibiting amorphous or unfunded counter-party risk attributes.

As of March 31, 2021,2022, the consolidated investment portfolio reflected an allocation of approximately 72%70% to fixed-maturityfixed income (bonds and notes) and short-term investments, and 28%30% to equity securities (common stock). During the quarter, we modestly reduced our equity holdings. The fixed-maturityfixed income portfolio continues to be the anchor for the insurance underwriting subsidiaries' obligations. The maturities of our fixed income assets are stratified and conservatively matched to the expected timing of paying thoseliabilities for claim payment obligations in the future.to policyholders and their beneficiaries. The quality of the investment portfolio has remainedremains at high levels.

In recent years, a significant portion of our investable funds have been directed toward high-quality common stocks of U.S. companies (currently limited to fewer than 100 issues). We favor those with long-term records of reasonable earnings growth and steadily increasing dividends. Pursuant to enterprise risk management guidelines and controls, we perform regular stress tests of the equities portfolio to gain reasonable assurance that periodic downdrafts in market prices would not seriously undermine our financial strength and the long-term continuity and prospects of our insurance underwriting business.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income is affected by trends in interest and dividend yields for the types of securities in which the Company's funds are invested during each reporting period. The following tables reflect the segmented and consolidated invested asset bases as of the indicated dates, and the investment income earned and resulting yields on such assets. Since the Company can exercise little control over fair values, yields are evaluated on the basis of investment income earned in relation to the cost of the underlying invested assets, though yields based on the fair values of such assets are also shown in the statistics below.

The Company's annualreserve for loss and interim financial statements incorporate a large number and typesloss adjustment expenses represents the accumulation of estimates relative to matters which are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made. The estimation process required of an insurance enterprise such as Old Republic is by its very nature highly dynamic inasmuch as it necessitates a continuous evaluation, analysis, and quantification of factual data as it becomes known to the Company. As a result, actual experienced outcomes can differ from the estimates made at any point in time and thus affect future periods'ultimate losses payable, including incurred but not reported revenues, expenses, net income or loss, and financial condition.

Old Republic believes that its most critical accounting estimates relate to: a) the determination of impairments in the value of investments; b) the recoverability of reinsured outstanding losses; and c) the establishment of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses. The major assumptionsestablishment of claim reserves by the Company's insurance subsidiaries is a reasonably complex and methods useddynamic process influenced by a large variety of factors. Consequently, reserves established are a reflection of the opinions of a large number of persons, of the application and interpretation of historical precedent and trends, of expectations as to future developments, and of management's judgment in setting theseinterpreting all such factors. At any point in time, the Company is exposed to the possibility of higher or lower than anticipated claim costs and the resulting changes in estimates are discussedrecorded in operations of the periods during which they are made. Increases to prior reserve estimates are often referred to as unfavorable development whereas any changes that decrease previous estimates of the Company's ultimate liability are referred to as favorable development.

Management believes that its overall reserving practices have been consistently applied over many years, and that its aggregate net reserves have generally resulting in reasonable approximations of the ultimate net costs of claims incurred. However, no representation is made nor is any guaranty given that ultimate net claim and related costs will not develop in future years to be significantly greater or lower than currently established reserve estimates. In management's opinion, such changes in net claims and related costs are not likely to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, although it could affect materially its consolidated results of operations for

any one annual or interim reporting period. See further discussion in the Company's 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K under Item 1A - Risk Factors.

Variations in the Company's consolidated expense ratios reflect a continually changing mix of coverages sold and costs of producing business in the Company's three largest business segments. To a significant degree, expense ratios for both the General and Title Insurance segments are mostly reflective of variable costs, such as commissions or similar charges, that rise or decline along with corresponding changes in premium and fee income. Moreover, general operating expenses can contract or expand in differing proportions due to varying levels of operating efficiencies and expense management opportunities in the face of changing market conditions.

Net Investment Gains (Losses)
The Company's investment policies are not designed to maximize or emphasize the realization of investment gains. Rather, these policies aim for a stable source of income from interest and dividends, protection of capital, and providing sufficient liquidity to meet insurance underwriting and other obligations as they become payable in the future. Dispositions of fixed income securities from scheduled maturities and early calls were 65.1% and 68.2% of total dispositions occurring in the first three months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company rebalanced the investment portfolio by modestly reducing equity security holdings and increasing fixed income holdings as reinvestment rates began to materially improve.

Income Taxes
The effective consolidated income tax rates were 20.0% in the first quarter 2022, compared to 20.4% in the first quarter of 2021. The rates for each period reflect primarily the varying proportions of pretax operating income (loss) derived from partially tax preferred investment income (principally tax-exempt interest and dividend income), the combination of fully taxable investment income, investment gains or losses, underwriting and service income and adjustments regarding the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

The reported claim ratio for General Insurance improved in the quarter, inclusive of favorable reserve development from prior periods and a lower current period claim provision, attributable to several years of premium rate increases, underwriting actions, and a shift in the line of coverage mix.

Sales and General Expenses
The first quarter expense ratio was elevated compared to the same quarter last year, generally reflecting the shift in line of coverage mix, and an increase in employee costs, including the timing of certain benefit accruals. Investments in new products and geographies in recent years have diversified the General Insurance business, resulting in shifts in the lines of coverage mix toward lines with higher expense ratios and lower current period claim ratios. The combination of recent year's growth in lines such as financial indemnity and property, and a decline in workers' compensation has contributed to a overall lower current period claim ratio and higher expense ratio.

Title Insurance

In the first quarter of 2021, the economy began to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated governmental responses (“COVID-19” or “the pandemic”) as the widespread distribution of effective vaccines commenced. General Insurance earned premiums increased slightly compared to the first quarter of 2020 when the impact of the pandemic was not yet reflected. Title Insurance continued to experience robust growth in premium and fee revenues as low interest rates and a favorable real estate market persisted. The RFIG Run-off business produced a small underwriting profit as delinquencies continued to decline from the elevated levels at the height of the pandemic.

Premiums & Fees
The following table shows the equity market performance continued to improve, the Company’s common stock portfolio appreciated, however was partially offset by declines in the fixed maturity portfolio. This overall favorable investment valuation, along with higher retained earnings contributed to an increased book value per sharepercentage distribution of $21.59 as of March 31, 2021 from $20.75 at December 31, 2020.

As the economy emerges from the impacts of the pandemic, premium and fee revenues in General Insurance could continue growing, especially compared to the 2020 periods where exposure levels were lower due to the effects of the pandemic on economic activity and employment levels. Title Insurance premium and fee revenues could remain strong as long as low interest rates and a favorable real estate market continue. In the RFIG Run-off business, future claims experience could depend upon the continued, mitigating effects of loan forbearance programs mandated by the Federal government, and the rate at which employment levels recover. Management believes that the Company’s strong financial condition will enable it to thrive as the economy recovers.production sources:

Title Insurance net premiums and fees earned grew by 3.2% in the quarter. Agency revenues continued to increase over the prior period although at a lower rate than in recent quarters. Revenue from direct production channels declined in the quarter, and we expect both directly produced and agency produced revenues to be lower throughout the year when compared to prior year periods. Increases in mortgage interest rates significantly reduced refinance activity in the quarter and likely will for the remainder of the year. Purchase order levels were in line with the prior period and continue to benefit from strong housing prices. Ongoing increases in mortgage interest rates may affect purchase activity through the remainder of the year.

Benefits and Claims
Title Insurance claim ratios have remained in the single digits for a number of years due to a continuation of favorable trends in claims frequency and severity and were relatively flat for the quarter.

Sales and General Expenses
The first quarter Title Insurance expense ratio was elevated compared to the same quarter last year, generally reflecting the combination of lower directly produced revenues that carry higher fixed expenses, along with a greater proportion of agency produced revenues that have a higher overall expense ratio.

Impact on business operations
. Old Republic’s concern for the health of its associates continues to result in the reduction in activity at many of the Company’s offices. Relaxed governmental restrictions meant that several of Old Republic’s business operations were permitting more associates to return to the office. Even so, most of Old Republic’s associates are working remotely. Old Republic continues to experience no meaningful interruption in its ability to service the needs of customers.

Cash and Invested Assets
. Old Republic’s investment portfolio is managed in consideration of its enterprise-wide risk management objectives. The portfolio emphasis has been on selecting high quality issuers and to ensure the reliable funding of the insurance subsidiaries’ obligations to policyholders and the long-term stability of the subsidiaries’ capital accounts. Old Republic does not have any material investments in illiquid alternative or real estate investments.
RFIG Run-off

Influenced by concerns around COVID-19, U.S. equity markets experienced significant volatility and reductions in market values in the last several weeks of March 2020. Since then, financial markets have rebounded. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the equity portfolio recognized a $367.5 unrealized gain offset by a decline in the fair value of the fixed maturity securities portfolio of $241.1. No impairments were identified as of March 31, 2021.

While these investments remain consistent with the Company’s investment philosophy, they are subject to regular and on-going review.mode.

portfolio’s performance through the pandemic has been largely in-line with the results of these stress tests, and surplus levels remain strong. Old Republic has made no changes to its investment strategy as a result of COVID-19 and expects the composition of its investment portfolio to remain consistent with the long-term needs of the business.
Benefits and Claims

Capital and Liquidity. Old Republic believes that its current liquidity position is sufficient to meet its obligations, including claim payments, operating expenses, interest and scheduled repayments on outstanding indebtedness and expected cash dividend payments. The Company’s ability to meet ongoing obligations is supported not only by premium revenue, but also by the expected interest and dividend income associated with Old Republic’s fixed maturity and equity investments. The Company’s nearest debt maturity is $400.0 of senior notes maturing in October 2024. Old Republic believes that it could access debt capital markets in the present environment on reasonable terms, given the Company’s current debt to total capitalization ratio of 12.8% and expected levels of operating income.Certain mortgage guaranty average claims related trends are listed below:

While certain updates have been made to reflect a primarily remote work environment, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting have not materially changed.whole dollars.

General Insurance

Operating environmentClaim costs reflect significantly fewer newly reported delinquencies along with improving trends in cure rates, influenced by a relatively strong economy and product demand. The primary coverages in the General Insurance segment, as measured on first quarter 2021 net premiums earned, are commercial auto (40.3%), workers’ compensation (22.8%), inland marine and property (9.3%), financial indemnity (9.3%) and general liability (5.2%).

Demand for each of these coverages is related to overall economic conditions and this macroeconomic effect can be compounded (or mitigated) by exposure to sectors that are more (or less) affected by the particular economic environment. For example, premiums associated with workers' compensation coverage typically fall with reductions in payroll. However, the Company’s exposure to many of the most significantly affected sectors, such as small business, hospitality, restaurants and travel, is limited, which reduces to a degree Old Republic’s COVID-19 exposure. The impact of COVID-19 on demand for General Insurance products continued to be relatively modest. However, the full impact of the pandemic will not be known until all policy premiums are audited in connection with the annual policy term expiration.

Claims. Claims experience reflects changes in pricing and risk selection together with variability in loss severity and frequency trends. The overall impact of COVID-19 on claims experience was not significant as increased workers’ compensation claims were largely offset by reduced frequency and severity of non-COVID related claims.

Claims activity for certain coverages is correlated with U.S. economic activity, therefore it is possible that claims frequency and severity for these coverages could both be affected by COVID-19. However, as noted below, Old Republic’s risk sharing arrangements should mitigate the negative effects of increases in frequency and severity.

Reserves. Establishing claims reserves for the General Insurance business is a complex and dynamic process that requires a significant amount of judgment in an ordinary operating environment. That process and the judgment involved are made more complicated by the disruptions caused by COVID-19. Old Republic has not made significant changes to reserves or reserving practices during the period.

Reinsurance and Retention Limits. Old Republic uses external reinsurance and other risk-sharing arrangements to limit the maximum losses for which it may be liable under its policies. Old Republic has risk-sharing arrangements in place for many of the coverages that have been impacted by COVID-19. In addition, Old Republic’s reinsurance arrangements may limit the negative impact of the pandemic for certain other coverages.

Consistent with its existing practices, Old Republic monitors on an on-going basis the financial condition of its assuming reinsurers and assureds who purchase its retrospectively rated or self-insured deductible policies and obtains sufficient collateral in the form of letters of credit, securities and other financial instruments. Old Republic continuously monitors the sufficiency of this collateral and the credit risk of its counterparties.

Regulation. Old Republic’s insurance company subsidiaries are subject to on-going regulation by state insurance departments. In response to COVID-19, insurance departments have been active in publishing additional guidance and other regulatory actions that impact the business. This regulatory guidance primarily relates to the collection of premium, the cancellation or non-renewal of policies, presumption of coverage and notice periods relating to claims. These regulatory initiatives have not had a significant impact on Old Republic.

Title Insurance

Operating environment and product demand. In the first quarter of 2021, net premium and fees earned in the Title segment reached all-time first quarter highs. Notwithstanding the impact on the U.S. economy caused by COVID-19, the demand for title insurance coverage remains strong.

The demand for title insurance products is correlated with the strength of the residential and commercial real estate markets. While COVID-19 and the resulting restrictions on in-person gatherings and reduction in business activity had a negative impact on the broader U.S. economy, the residential real estate markets, and thus the demand for title insurance, remains robust. The impact continues to be felt however in the commercial real estate markets with COVID-19 uncertainties creating a reduction in business activity and a reduction in Title insurance premium and fee
30


revenue associated with commercial transactions. Many of the key indicators used to evaluate the Title business, such as open orders, were at elevated levels at March 31, 2021.

Regulation. The housing market and the real estate lending industry are heavily regulated and there have been regulatory responses to the pandemic. These regulatory initiatives include those targeted at aiding consumers, which may ultimately have a significant impact on mortgage lenders and investors in pooled mortgage products. This could decrease the availability of mortgage funding, negatively impacting the housing market and thus the demand for Title insurance. These initiatives have not had a significant effect on the Title business.

Claims. The effects of COVID-19 on the U.S. real estate market did not materially affect claims experience for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

RFIG Run-Off Business

Operating environment and product demand. As noted elsewhere, Old Republic’s RFIG run-off business, led by its principal insurance carriers Republic Mortgage Insurance Company ("RMIC") and Republic Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation ("RMGIC"), ceased writing new mortgage guaranty insurance in 2011. The operating results for all periods presented reflect the expected, continuing drop in net earned premiums from declining risk in force.

Regulation. The North Carolina Department of Insurance ("NCDOI") performs regulatory oversight of RMIC and RMGIC. During the first quarter, RMIC and RMGIC sought and received approval from the NCDOI to resume payment of extraordinary dividends amounting to $25.0 to ORI, following 2020's temporary suspension of capital returns.

Capital. As of March 31, 2021, total statutory capital for the group, inclusive of a contingency reserve, totaled $426.6. Old Republic continually monitors its capital position based on financial estimates of operating results over the remaining run-off period. The payment of future extraordinary dividends will require regulatory approval from the NCDOI.

Claims. The economic impact of COVID-19 led to an increase in the number of reported delinquencies resulting in higher claim reserves and incurred losses during 2020. Although such trends have improved since their peak in second quarter of 2020, the number of outstanding delinquencies remains elevated relative to pre-pandemic levels. Changes in U.S. employment levels and in the residential real estate markets could affect mortgage insurance claims. Future claim experience will depend on factors such as, among others, the mitigating effects of extensive loan forbearance programs mandated by the Federal government under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, future governmental stimulus and regulatory initiatives, and the rate at which the overall economy, and in particular employment levels, recover once mandates intended to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 are lifted.market.

Investment Portfolio
Investments
-
During the first three months of 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company committed the majority of investable funds to short to intermediate-term fixed maturityincome securities and higher yielding publicly traded large capitalization equity securities. Old Republic continues to adhere to its long-term policy of investing primarily in investment grade, marketable securities. At both March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, nearly all of the Company's investments consisted of marketable securities. The investment portfolio contains no significant insurance risk-correlateddoes not contain high risk or illiquid asset exposuresclasses and has zero or extremely limited exposure to, real estate, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations ("CDO's")(CDO's), derivatives,credit default and interest rate swaps, hybrid securities, asset-backed securities (ABS), guaranteed investment contracts (GIC), structured investment vehicles (SIV), auction rate variable short-term securities, limited partnerships, derivatives, hedge funds or illiquid private equity and hedge fund investments. Moreover, the Company does not engage in hedging or securities lending transactions, nor does it invest in securities whose values are predicated on non-regulated financial instruments exhibiting amorphous or unfunded counter-party risk attributes. At March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had no fixed maturityincome investments in default as to principal and/or interest.

Short-term investment positions reflect a large variety of seasonal and intermediate-term factors including current operating needs, expected operating cash flows, seasonality of quarterly cash flow, debt maturities, and investment strategy considerations. Accordingly, the future level of short-term investments will vary and respond to the interplay of these factors and may, as a result, increase or decrease from current levels.

The Company does not own or utilize derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging, enhancing the overall return of its investment portfolio, or reducing the cost of its debt obligations. With regard to its equity portfolio, the Company does not own any options nor does it engage in any type of option writing. Traditional investment management tools and techniques are employed to address the yield and valuation exposures of the invested assets base. The long-term fixed maturityincome investment portfolio is managed so as to limit various risks inherent in the bond market. Credit risk is addressed through asset diversification and the purchase of investment grade securities. Reinvestment rate risk is reduced by concentrating on non-callable issues, and by taking asset-liability matching considerations into account. Purchases of mortgage and asset backed securities, which have variable principal prepayment options, are generally avoided. Market value risk is limited through the purchase of bonds of intermediate
31


maturity. The combination of these investment management practices is expected to produce a more stable long-term fixed maturityincome investment portfolio that is not subject to extreme interest rate sensitivity and principal deterioration.

The fair value of the Company's long-term fixed maturityincome investment portfolio is sensitive, however, to fluctuations in the level of interest rates, but not materially affected by changes in anticipated cash flows caused by any prepayments. The impact of interest rate movements on the long-term fixed maturityincome investment portfolio generally affects net unrealized gains or losses. As a general rule, rising interest rates enhance currently available yields but typically lead to a reduction in the fair value of existing fixed maturityincome investments. By contrast, a decline in such rates reduces currently available yields but usually serves to increase the fair value of the existing fixed maturityincome investment portfolio. All such changes in fair
35


value of available for sale securities are reflected, net of deferred income taxes, directly in the shareholders' equity account, and as a separate component of the statement of comprehensive income. Given the Company's inability to forecast or control the movement of interest rates, Old Republic sets the maturity spectrum of its fixed maturityincome securities portfolio within parameters of estimated liability payouts, and focuses the overall portfolio on high quality investments. By so doing, Old Republic believes it is reasonably assured of its ability to hold securities to maturity as it may deem necessary in changing environments, and of ultimately recovering their aggregate cost.

Possible future declines in fair values for Old Republic's available for sale fixed maturityincome portfolio would negatively affect the common shareholders' equity account at any point in time, but would not necessarily result in the recognition of realized investment losses. The status and fair value changes of each of the fixed maturity investments are reviewed at least once per quarter during the year, and estimates of impairments and allowances for credit losses in the portfolio's value are evaluated and established at each quarterly balance sheet date. In reviewing investments for impairment, the Company, in addition to a security's market price history, considers the totality of such factors as the issuer's operating results, financial condition and liquidity, its ability to access capital markets, credit rating trends, most current audited financial statements, industry and securities markets conditions, and analyst expectations to reach its conclusions. Sudden fair value declines caused by such adverse developments as newly emerged or imminent bankruptcy filings, issuer default on significant obligations, or reports of financial accounting developments that bring into question the validity of the issuer's previously reported earnings or financial condition, are recognized as realized losses as soon as credible publicly available information emerges to confirm such developments.

The following tables show certain information relating to the Company's fixed maturityincome and equity portfolios as of the dates shown.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Other Assets - Among other major assets, substantially all of the Company's receivables are not past due. Reinsurance recoverable balances on paid or estimated unpaid losses are deemed recoverable from solvent reinsurers or have otherwise been reduced by allowances for estimated credit losses. Deferred policy acquisition costs are estimated by taking into account the direct costs relating to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts and evaluating their recoverability on the basis of recent trends in claims costs. The Company's deferred policy acquisition cost balances have not fluctuated substantially from period-to-period, and do not represent significant percentages of assets or shareholders' equity.

Liquidity - The parent holding company meets its liquidity and capital needs principally through dividends and interest on intercompany financing arrangements paid by its subsidiaries. The insurance subsidiaries' ability to pay cash dividends to the parent company is generally restricted by law or subject to approval of the insurance regulatory authorities. Based on December 31, 20202021 statutory balances, the Company can receive up to $699.3$982.0 in ordinary dividends from its subsidiaries in 20212022 without the prior approval of regulatory authorities. The liquidity achievable through such permitted dividend payments is considered sufficient to cover the parent holding company's currently expected cash outflows represented mostly by interest, and scheduled repayments on outstanding debt, reasonably anticipated cash dividend payments to shareholders, modest operating expenses, and the near-term capital needs of its operating company subsidiaries.

Capitalization - Old Republic's total capitalization of $7,399.0$8,344.3 at March 31, 20212022 consisted of debt of $947.2$1,594.2 and common shareholders' equity of $6,451.8.$6,750.1. Changes in the common shareholders' equity account reflect primarily net income excluding net investment gains (losses), realized and unrealized gains (losses), and dividend payments to shareholders for the period then ended. At March 31, 2021,2022, the Company's consolidated debt to equity ratio was 14.7%23.6%.

Old Republic has paid a cash dividend without interruption since 1942 (80(81 years), and it has raised the annual cash dividend payout for each of the past 4041 years. The dividend rate is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis each year. In establishing each year's cash dividend rate the Company does not follow a strict formulaic approach. Rather, it favors a gradual rise in the annual dividend rate that is largely reflective of long-term consolidated operating earnings trends. Accordingly, each year's dividend rate is set judgmentally in consideration of such key factors as the dividend paying capacity of the Company's insurance subsidiaries, the trends in average annual statutory and GAAP earnings for the five to ten most recent calendar years, and management's long-term expectations for the Company's consolidated business and its individual operating subsidiaries.

Under state insurance regulations, the Company's three mortgage guaranty insurance subsidiaries are required to hold minimum amounts of capital based on specified formulas. Since the Company's mortgage insurance subsidiaries have discontinued writing new business the risk-to-capital ratio considerations are therefore no longer of consequence.

The Company's principal mortgage insurance subsidiaries sought and received approval from the North Carolina Department of Insurance to pay extraordinary dividends amounting to $35.0 in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues: Premiums & FeesOther Assets

Pursuant to GAAP applicableSubstantially all of the Company's receivables are current. Reinsurance recoverable balances on paid or estimated unpaid losses are deemed recoverable from solvent reinsurers or have otherwise been reduced by allowances for estimated credit losses. Deferred policy acquisition costs are estimated by taking into account the direct costs relating to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance industry, revenues are recognized as follows:

Substantially all general insurance premiums pertain to annual policiescontracts and are reflected in income on a pro-rata basis in association with the related benefits, claims and expenses. Earned but unbilled premiums are generally taken into income on the billing date, while adjustments for retrospective premiums, commissions and similar charges or credits are accruedevaluating their recoverability on the basis of periodic evaluations of current underwriting experience and contractual obligations.

Title premium and fee revenues stemming from the Company's direct operations (which include branch offices of its title insurers and wholly owned agency subsidiaries) represent approximately 23% of 2021 consolidated title business revenues. Such premiums are generally recognized as income at the escrow closing date which approximates the policy effective date. Fee income related to escrow and other closing services is recognized when the related services have been performed and completed. The remaining 77% of consolidated title premium and fee revenues is produced by independent title agents and underwritten title companies. Rather than making estimates that could be subject to significant variance from actual premium and fee production, the Company recognizes revenues from those sources upon receipt. Such receipts can reflect a three to four month lag relative to the effective date of the underlying title policy, and are offset concurrently by production expenses and claim reserve provisions.

The Company's mortgage guaranty premiums primarily stem from monthly installments paid on long-duration, guaranteed renewable insurance policies. Such premiums are written and earnedrecent trends in the month coverage is effective. With respect to relatively few annual or single premium policies, earned premiums are largely recognized on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the policies.

Net investment income is affected by trends in interest and dividend yields for the types of securities in which the Company's funds are invested during each reporting period. The following tables reflect the segmented and consolidated invested asset bases as of the indicated dates, and the investment income earned and resulting yields on such assets. Since the Company can exercise little control over fair values, yields are evaluated on the basis of investment income earned in relationIn order to the cost of the underlying invested assets, though yields based on the fair values of such assets are also shown in the statistics below.

Revenues: Net Investment Gains (Losses)

The Company's investment policies are not designed to maximize or emphasize the realization of investment gains. Rather, these policies aim for a stable source of income from interest and dividends, protection of capital, and the providing of sufficient liquidity to meet insurance underwriting and other obligations as they become payable in the future. Dispositions of fixed maturity securities from scheduled maturities and early calls were 68.2% and 77.0% of total dispositions occurring in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Expenses: Benefits and Claims

The Company records the benefits, claims and related settlement costs that have been incurred during each accounting period. Total claim costs are affected by the amount of paid claims and the adequacy of reserve estimates established for current and prior years' claim occurrences at each balance sheet date.

The following table shows a breakdown of gross and net of reinsurance claim reserve estimates for major types of insurance coverages as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The Company's reserve for loss and loss adjustment expenses represents the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses payable, including incurred but not reported losses and loss adjustment expenses. The establishment of claim reserves by the Company's insurance subsidiaries is a reasonably complex and dynamic process influenced by a large variety of factors as further discussed below. Consequently, reserves established are a reflection of the opinions of a large number of persons, of the application and interpretation of historical precedent and trends, of expectations as to future developments, and of management's judgment in interpreting all such factors. At any point in time, the Company is exposed to the possibility of higher or lower than anticipated claim costs and the resulting changes in estimates are recorded in operations of the periods during which they are made. Increases to prior reserve estimates are often referred to as unfavorable development whereas any changes that decrease previous estimates of the Company's ultimate liability are referred to as favorable development.

Overview of Loss Reserving Process

The Company's reserve setting process reflects the nature of its insurance business and the operationally decentralized basis upon which it is conducted. Old Republic's general insurance operations encompasses a large variety of coverages or classes of commercial insurance; it has negligible exposure to personal insurance coverages such as homeowners or private passenger automobile insurance that exhibit wide diversification of risks, significant frequency of claim occurrences, and high degrees of statistical credibility. Additionally, the Company's insurance subsidiaries do not provide significant amounts of insurance protection for premises; most of its property insurance exposures relate to cargo, incidental property, and insureds' inland marine assets. Consequently, the wide variety of policies issued and commercial insurance customers served require that loss reserves be analyzed and established in the context of the unique or different attributes of each block or class of business produced by the Company. For example, accident liability claims emanating from insured trucking companies or from general aviation customers become known relatively quickly, whereas claims of a general liability nature arising from the building activities of a construction company may emerge over extended periods of time. Similarly, claims filed pursuant to errors and omissions or directors and officers liability coverages are usually not prone to immediate evaluation or quantification inasmuch as many such claims may be litigated over several years and their ultimate costs may be affected by the vagaries of judged or jury verdicts. Approximately 91% of the general insurance group's claim reserves stem from liability insurance coverages for commercial customers which typically require more extended periods of investigation and at times protracted litigation before they are finally settled. As a consequence of these and other factors, Old Republic does not utilize a single, overarching loss reserving approach.

The Company prepares periodic analyses of its loss reserve estimates for its significant insurance coverages. It establishes point estimates for most losses on an insurance coverage line-by-line basis for individual subsidiaries, sub-classes, individual accounts, blocks of business or other unique concentrations of insurance risks such as directors and officers liability, that have similar attributes. Actuarially or otherwise derived ranges of reserve levels are not utilized as such in setting these reserves. Instead the reported reserves encompass the Company's best point estimates at each reporting date and the overall reserve level at any point in time therefore represents the compilation of a very large number of reported reserve estimates and the results of a variety of formula calculations largely driven by analysis of historical data. Favorable or unfavorable developments of prior year reserves are implicitly covered by the point estimates incorporated in total reserves at each balance sheet date. The Company does not project future variability or make an explicit provision for uncertainty when determining its best estimate of loss reserves. Over the most recent decade actual incurred losses have developed within a reasonable range of their original estimates.

Aggregate loss reserves consist of liability estimates for claims that have been reported ("case") to the Company's insurance subsidiaries and reserves for claims that have been incurred but not yet reported ("IBNR") or whose ultimate costs may not become fully apparent until a future time. Additionally, the Company establishes unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves for loss settlement costs that are not directly related to individual claims. Such reserves are based on prior years' cost experience and trends, and are intended to cover the unallocated costs of claim departments' administration of case and IBNR claims over time. Long-term, disability-type workers' compensation reserves are discounted to present value based on interest rates that generally range from 3.0% to 4.0%.

A large variety of statistical analyses and formula calculations are utilized to provide for IBNR claim costs as well as additional costs that can arise from such factors as monetary and social inflation, changes in claims administration processes, changes in reinsurance ceded and recoverability levels, and expected trends in claim costs and related ratios. Typically, such formulas take into account so-called link ratios that represent prior years' patterns of incurred or paid loss trends between succeeding years, or past experience relative to progressions of the number of claims reported over time and ultimate average costs per claim.

Overall, reserves pertaining to several hundred large individual commercial insurance accounts that exhibit sufficient statistical credibility, and at times may be subject to retrospective premium rating plans or the utilization of varying levels or types of self-insured retentions through captive insurers and similar risk management mechanisms are established on an account by account basis using case reserves and applicable formula-driven methods. Large account reserves are usually set and analyzed for groups of coverages such as workers' compensation, commercial automobile (trucking) and general liability that are typically underwritten jointly for many customers. For certain so-called long-tail categories of insurance such as retained or assumed excess liability or excess workers' compensation, officers and directors' liability, and commercial umbrella liability relative to which claim development patterns are particularly long, more volatile, and immature in their early stages of development, the Company judgmentally establishes the most current accident years' loss reserves on the basis of expected claim ratios. Such expected claim ratios typically reflect currently estimated claim ratios from prior accident years, adjusted for the effect of actual and anticipated rate changes, actual and anticipated changes in coverage, reinsurance, mix of business, and other anticipated changes in external factors such as trends in loss costs or the legal and claims environment. Expected claim ratios are generally used for the two to five most recent accident years depending on the individual class or category of business. As actual claims data emerges in succeeding interim and annual periods, the original accident year claim ratio assumptions are validated or otherwise adjusted sequentially through the application of statistical projection techniques such as the Bornhuetter/Ferguson method which utilizes data from the more mature experience of prior years to arrive at a likely indication of more recent years' loss trends and costs.

Title insuranceand related escrow services loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are established as point estimates to cover the projected settlement costs of known as well as IBNR losses related to premium and escrow service revenues of each reporting period. Reserves for known claims are based on an assessment of the facts available to the Company during the settlement process. The point estimates covering all claim reserves take into account IBNR claims based on past experience and evaluations of such variables as changing trends in the types of
40


policies issued, changes in real estate markets and interest rate environments, and changing levels of loan refinancing, all of which can have a bearing on the emergence, number, and ultimate costs of claims.

RFIG Run-offmortgage guaranty insurancereserves for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses are recognized only upon an instance of default, defined as an insured mortgage loan for which two or more consecutive monthly payments have been missed. Loss reserves are based on statistical calculations that take into account the number of reported insured mortgage loan defaults as of each balance sheet date, as well as experience-based estimates of loan defaults that have occurred but have not as yet been reported. Further, the loss reserve estimating process takes into account a large number of variables including trends in claim severity, potential salvage recoveries, expected cure rates for reported loan delinquencies at various stages of default, the level of coverage rescissions and claims denials due to material misrepresentation in key underwriting information or non-compliance with prescribed underwriting guidelines, and management judgments relative to future employment levels, housing market activity, and mortgage loan interest costs, demand, and extensions.

The Company has the legal right to rescind mortgage insurance coverage unilaterally as expressly stated in its policy. Moreover, two federal courts that have considered that policy wording have each affirmed that right. According to the policy, if any representations are materially false or misleading with respect to a loan, the Company has the right to cancel or rescind coverage for that loan retroactively to commencement of the coverage. In the case of mortgage guaranty insurance, rescissions have occurred regularly over the years but have been generally immaterial. During the period of the great recession the Company experienced a much greater incidence of rescissions due to increased levels of observed fraud and misrepresentations in insurance applications pertaining to business underwritten between 2004 and the first half of 2008 in particular. In recent years, the incidence of rescissions has returned to immaterial levels.

Incurred Loss Experience

Management believes that the Company's overall reserving practices have been consistently applied over many years. For at least the past ten years, previously established aggregate reserves have produced reasonable estimates of the cumulative ultimate net costs of claims incurred. However, there are no guarantees that such outcomes will continue, and, accordingly, no representation is made that ultimate net claim and related costs will not develop in future years to be greater or lower than currently established reserve estimates. In management's opinion, however, such potential development is not likely to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, although it could affect materially its consolidated results of operations for any one annual or interim reporting period. See further discussion in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1A - Risk Factors.

A summary of changes in aggregate reserves for claims and related costs is included in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The percentage of net claims, benefits and related settlement expenses incurred as a percentage of premiums and related fee revenues of the Company's three major operating segments and for consolidated operations were as follows:

The General Insurance reported claim ratio improved in the first quarter 2021, driven by favorable reserve development from prior periods, and from lower current period claim provisions in workers' compensation and commercial auto coverages. The group experienced favorable development of prior years' reserves of 2.7 and .7 percentage points for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Unfavorable asbestos and environmental ("A&E") claim developments, although not material in any of the periods presented, are typically attributable to A&E claim reserves due to periodic re-evaluations of such reserves as well as subsequent reclassifications of other coverages' reserves, most often workers' compensation, deemed assignable to A&E category of losses. Except for a small portion that emanates from ongoing primary insurance operations, a large majority of the A&E claim reserves posted by Old Republic stem mainly from its participations in assumed reinsurance treaties and insurance pools which were discontinued during the 1980's and have since been in run-off status. With respect to the primary portion of gross A&E reserves, Old Republic administers the related claims through its claims personnel as well as outside attorneys, and posted reserves reflect its best estimates of ultimate claim costs. Claims administration for the assumed portion of the Company's A&E exposures is handled by the claims departments of unrelated primary or ceding reinsurance companies. While the Company performs periodic reviews of certain claim files managed by third parties, the overall A&E reserves it establishes respond to the paid claim and case reserve activity reported to the Company as well as available industry statistical data such as so-called survival ratios. Such ratios represent the number of years' average paid losses for the three or five most recent calendar years that are encompassed by an insurer's A&E reserve level at any point in time. According to this simplistic appraisal of an insurer's A&E loss reserve level, Old Republic's average five year survival ratios stood at 7.6 years (gross) and 8.3 years (net of reinsurance) as of March 31, 2021 and 6.3 years (gross) and 7.1 years (net of reinsurance) as of December 31, 2020. Fluctuations in this ratio between years can be caused by the inconsistent pay out patterns associated with these types of claims. Incurred net losses for A&E claims have averaged .3% of general insurance group net incurred losses for the five years ended December 31, 2020.

Title insuranceclaim ratios have remained in the single digits for a number of years due to a continuation of favorable trends in claims frequency and severity. The reported claim ratio trended slightly lower for the first quarter 2021, influenced by favorable reserve development from prior periods. This favorable development of reserves established in prior years reduced the claim ratio by .6 and .5 percentage points in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

First quarter 2021 RFIG Run-off claim costs were affected by the economic impacts of the pandemic. Whereas delinquency trends continued to improve in 2021's first quarter, they remain elevated by comparison to pre-pandemic levels. Incurred claim ratios reflect favorable development of 13.5 and 14.6 percentage points in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Reinsurance Programs

To maintain premium production within its capacity and limit maximum losses and risks for which it might become liable under its policies, Old Republic, as is common practice in the insurance industry, may cede a portion or all of its premiums and related liabilities on certain classes of insurance, individual policies, or blocks of business to other insurers and reinsurers. Further discussion of the Company's reinsurance programs can be found in Part 1 of the Company's 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Expenses: Underwriting Acquisition and Other ExpensesCRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The following table sets forthCompany's annual and interim financial statements incorporate a large number and types of estimates relative to matters which are highly uncertain at the expense ratios registeredtime the estimates are made. The estimation process required of an insurance enterprise such as Old Republic is by each major business segmentits very nature highly dynamic inasmuch as it necessitates a continuous evaluation, analysis, and quantification of factual data as it becomes known to the Company. As a result, actual experienced outcomes can differ from the estimates made at any point in consolidation for the periods shown:

The major assumptions and methods used in setting these estimates are summarized in the Company's consolidated expense ratios reflect a continually changing mix of coverages sold and attendant costs of producing business in the Company's three largest business segments. To a significant degree, expense ratios for both the general and title insurance segments are mostly reflective of variable costs, such as commissions or similar charges, that rise or decline along with corresponding changes in premium and fee income. Moreover, general operating expenses can contract or expand in differing proportions due to varying levels of operating efficiencies and expense management opportunities in the face of changing market conditions.2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OTHER INFORMATION

Reference is here made to "Information About Segments of Business" appearing elsewhere herein.

Historical data pertaining to the operating results, liquidity, and other performance indicators applicable to an insurance enterprise such as Old Republic are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved in succeeding years. In addition to the factors cited below, the long-term nature of the insurance business, seasonal and annual patterns in premium production and incidence of claims, changes in yields obtained on invested assets, changes in government policies and free markets affecting inflation rates and general economic conditions, and changes in legal precedents or the application of law affecting the settlement of disputed and other claims can have a bearing on period-to-period comparisons and future operating results. It is possible that Old Republic's operating results, business and financial condition could be adversely affected in subsequent periods by future economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated governmental responses.

Some of the oral or written statements made in the Company's reports, press releases, and conference calls following earnings releases, can constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Of necessity, anyAny such forward-looking statements involve assumptions, uncertainties, and risks that may affect the Company's future performance. With regard to Old Republic's General Insurance segment, its results can be particularly affected by the level of market competition, which is typically a function of available capital and expected returns on such capital among competitors, the levels of investment yields and inflation rates, and periodic changes in claim frequency and severity patterns caused by natural disasters, weather conditions, accidents, illnesses, work-related injuries, and unanticipated external events. Title Insurance and RFIG Run-off results can be affected by similar factors, and by changes in national and regional housing demand and values, the availability and cost of mortgage loans, employment trends, and default rates on mortgage loans. Life and accident insurance earnings can be affected by the levels of employment and consumer spending, changes in mortality and health trends, and alterations in policy lapsation rates. At the parent holding company level, operating earnings or losses are generally reflective of the amount of debt outstanding and its cost, interest income on temporary holdings of short-term investments, and period-to-period variations in the costs of administering the Company's widespread operations.

The General Insurance, Title Insurance, Corporate and& Other, Segments, and the RFIG Run-off business maintain customer information and rely upon technology platforms to conduct their business. As a result, each of them and the Company are exposed to cyber risk. Many of the Company's operating subsidiaries maintain separate IT systems which are deemed to reduce enterprise-wide risks of potential cybersecurity incidents. However, given the potential magnitude of a significant breach, the Company continually evaluates on an enterprise-wide basis its IT hardware, security infrastructure and business practices to respond to these risks and to detect and remediate in a timely manner significant cybersecurity incidents or business process interruptions.

A more detailed listing and discussion of the risks and other factors which affect the Company's risk-taking insurance business are included in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, of the Company's 20202021 Form 10-K Annual Report filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is specifically incorporated herein by reference.

Any forward-looking statements or commentaries speak only as of their dates. Old Republic undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any and all such comments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and accordingly they may not be unduly relied upon.
