~~Forward-Looking~~Forward-looking Statements

Certain of the statements contained herein are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” and similar references to future periods.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions regarding future economic, competitive, legislative and other developments and their potential effect upon The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "The Hartford"). Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from expectations, depending on the evolution of various factors, including the risks and uncertainties identified below, as well as factors described in such forward-looking ~~statements~~statements; or in Part II, Item 1A of The Hartford’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019, Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in The Hartford’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report; and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Risks Relating to Economic, Political and Global Market Conditions:


◦	challenges related to the Company’s current operating environment, including global political, economic and market conditions, and the effect of financial market disruptions, economic downturns, changes in trade regulation including tariffs and other barriers or other potentially adverse macroeconomic developments on the demand for our products and returns in our investment portfolios;


◦	market risks associated with our business, including changes in credit spreads, equity prices, interest rates, inflation rate, and market volatility;


◦	the impact on our investment portfolio if our investment portfolio is concentrated in any particular segment of the economy;


◦	the impacts of changing climate and weather patterns on our businesses, operations and investment portfolio including on claims, demand and pricing of our products, the availability and cost of reinsurance, our modeling data used to evaluate and manage risks of catastrophes and severe weather events, the value of our investment portfolios and credit risk with reinsurers and other counterparties;


◦	the risks associated with the change in or replacement of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") on the securities we hold or may have issued, other financial instruments and any other assets and liabilities whose value is tied to LIBOR;


◦	the impacts associated with the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) from the European Union (“E.U.”) on our international operations in the U.K. and E.U.

Insurance Industry and Product-Related Risks:


◦	the possibility of unfavorable loss development, including with respect to long-tailed exposures;


◦	the significant uncertainties that limit our ability to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for asbestos and environmental claims;


◦	the possibility of a pandemic, earthquake, or other natural or man-made disaster that may adversely affect our businesses;


◦	weather and other natural physical events, including the intensity and frequency of storms, hail, wildfires, flooding, winter storms, hurricanes and tropical storms, as well as climate change and its potential impact on weather patterns;


◦	the possible occurrence of terrorist attacks and the Company’s inability to contain its exposure as a result of, among other factors, the inability to exclude coverage for terrorist attacks from workers' compensation policies and limitations on reinsurance coverage from the federal government under applicable laws;


◦	the Company’s ability to effectively price its property and casualty policies, including its ability to obtain regulatory consents to pricing actions or to non-renewal or withdrawal of certain product lines;


◦	actions by competitors that may be larger or have greater financial resources than we do;


◦	technological changes, such as usage-based methods of determining premiums, advancements in automotive safety features, the development of autonomous vehicles, and platforms that facilitate ride sharing, which may alter demand for the Company's products, impact the frequency or severity of losses, and/or impact the way the Company markets, distributes and underwrites its products;


◦	the Company's ability to market, distribute and provide insurance products and investment advisory services through current and future distribution channels and advisory firms;


◦	the uncertain effects of emerging claim and coverage issues;

Financial Strength, Credit and Counterparty Risks:


◦	risks to our business, financial position, prospects and results associated with negative rating actions or downgrades in the Company’s financial strength and credit ratings or negative rating actions or downgrades relating to our investments;

◦

~~the impact on our statutory~~ capital ~~of various~~requirements which are subject to many factors, including many that are outside the Company’s control, such as NAIC risk based capital formulas, Funds at Lloyd's and Solvency Capital Requirement, which can in turn affect our credit and financial strength ratings, cost of capital, regulatory compliance and other aspects of our business and results;


◦	losses due to nonperformance or defaults by others, including credit risk with counterparties associated with investments, derivatives, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverables and indemnifications provided by third parties in connection with previous dispositions;


◦	the potential for losses due to our reinsurers' unwillingness or inability to meet their obligations under reinsurance contracts and the availability, pricing and adequacy of reinsurance to protect the Company against losses;


◦	state and international regulatory limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends;

Risks Relating to Estimates, Assumptions and Valuations:


◦	risk associated with the use of analytical models in making decisions in key areas such as underwriting, pricing, capital management, reserving, investments, reinsurance and catastrophe risk management;


◦	the potential for differing interpretations of the methodologies, estimations and assumptions that underlie the Company’s fair value estimates for its investments and the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities;


◦	the potential for further impairments of our goodwill or the potential for changes in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets;

Strategic and Operational Risks:


◦	the Company’s ability to maintain the availability of its systems and safeguard the security of its data in the event of a disaster, cyber or other information security incident or other unanticipated event;


◦	the potential for difficulties arising from outsourcing and similar third-party relationships;


◦	the risks, challenges and uncertainties associated with capital management plans, expense reduction initiatives and other actions, which may include acquisitions, divestitures or restructurings;


◦	~~failure to complete our proposed acquisition of The Navigators Group, Inc. may cause volatility in our securities;~~


◦	risks associated with acquisitions and divestitures, including the challenges of integrating acquired companies or businesses or separating from our divested businesses, which may result in our inability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies and may result in unintended consequences;


◦	difficulty in attracting and retaining talented and qualified personnel, including key employees, such as executives, managers and employees with strong technological, analytical and other specialized skills;


◦	the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property and defend against claims of infringement;

Regulatory and Legal Risks:


◦	the cost and other potential effects of increased federal, state and international regulatory and legislative developments, including those that could adversely impact the demand for the Company’s products, operating costs and required capital levels;


◦	unfavorable judicial or legislative developments;


◦	the impact of changes in federal or state tax laws;


◦	regulatory requirements that could delay, deter or prevent a takeover attempt that stockholders might consider in their best interests; and


◦	the impact of potential changes in accounting principles and related financial reporting requirements.

Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this document speaks only as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

Hartford, Connecticut

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and changes in stockholders' equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the ~~three-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 22, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. is a holding company for insurance and financial services subsidiaries that provide property and casualty insurance, group life and disability products and mutual funds and exchange-traded products to individual and business customers (collectively, “The Hartford”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”).

On ~~August 22, 2018,~~May 23, 2019, the Company completed the previously announced ~~it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding common shares~~acquisition of The Navigators Group, Inc. ("Navigators Group"), a global specialty underwriter, for $70 a share, or ~~$2.2~~$2.137 billion in cash, including transaction expenses. ~~The~~For further discussion of this transaction, ~~is expected~~see Note 2 - Business Acquisition of Notes to close in the second quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The Company signed an agreement with National Indemnity Company ("NICO"), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which, subject to regulatory approval and upon closing of the acquisition, will have Navigators Group subsidiaries enter into an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement with NICO to cover unfavorable reserve development to Navigators Group reserves subject to the agreement, with limited exclusions. The reinsurance agreement will cover accident year 2018 and prior year reserves. The reinsurance agreement provides up to $300 of coverage for potential unfavorable net loss reserve development in excess of $1.916 billion which is $100 above Navigators Group recorded reserves subject to the agreement of $1.816 billion as of December 31, 2018.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On May 31, 2018, Hartford Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the sale of the issued and outstanding equity of Hartford Life, Inc. (“HLI”), a holding company, for its life and annuity operating subsidiaries. For further discussion of this transaction, see Note 1617 - Business Disposition and Discontinued Operations of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are unaudited. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (generally consisting only of normal accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to

Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., and entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. Entities in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financing decisions but does not control are reported using the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances between The Hartford

and its subsidiaries and affiliates that are not held for sale have been eliminated.

Discontinued Operations

The results of operations of a component of the Company are reported in discontinued operations when certain criteria are met as of the date of disposal, or earlier if classified as held-for-sale. When a component is identified for discontinued operations reporting, amounts for prior periods are retrospectively reclassified as discontinued operations. Components are identified as discontinued operations if they are a major part of an entity's operations and financial results such as a separate major line of business or a separate major geographical area of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates include those used in determining property and casualty and group long-term disability insurance product reserves, net of reinsurance; evaluation of goodwill for impairment; valuation of investments and derivative instruments; valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and contingencies relating to corporate litigation and regulatory matters.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation. In particular, restricted cash has been reclassified out of cash to a separate line on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restrictions on cash primarily relate to funds that are held to support regulatory and contractual obligations.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Hedging Activities

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") updated guidance for hedge accounting through a cumulative effect adjustment of less than $1 to reclassify cumulative ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges from retained earnings to ~~AOCI.~~accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The updates allow hedge accounting for new types of interest rate hedges of financial instruments and simplify documentation requirements to qualify for hedge accounting. In addition, any gain or loss from hedge

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

ineffectiveness is reported in the same income statement line with the effective hedge results and the hedged transaction. For cash flow hedges, the ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings only when the hedged transaction affects earnings; otherwise, the ineffectiveness gains or losses remain in AOCI. Under previous accounting, total hedge ineffectiveness was reported separately in realized capital gains and losses apart from the hedged transaction. The adoption did not affect the Company’s financial position or cash flows or have a material effect on net income.

Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the FASB’s updated lease guidance. Under the updated guidance, lessees with operating leases are required to recognize a liability for the present value of future minimum lease payments with a corresponding asset for the right of use of the property. Prior to the new guidance, future minimum lease payments on operating leases were commitments that were not recognized as liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases are classified as financing or operating leases. Where the lease is economically similar to a purchase because The Hartford obtains control of the underlying

asset, the lease is classified as a financing lease and the Company recognizes amortization of the right of use asset and interest expense on the liability. Where the lease provides The Hartford with only the right to control the use of the underlying asset over the lease term and the lease term is greater than one year, the lease is an operating lease and the lease cost is recognized as rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Leases with a term of one year or less are also expensed over the lease term but not recognized on the balance sheet. On adoption, The Hartford recorded a lease payment obligation of $160 for outstanding leases and a right of use asset of $150, which is net of $10 in lease incentives received, with no change to comparative periods. As permitted by the new guidance, as of the

implementation date, the Company did not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are leases or contain leases, did not change the classification of expired or existing operating leases, and did not reassess initial direct costs for existing leases to determine if deferred costs should be written-off or recorded on adoption. The adoption did not impact net income or cash flows.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

The FASB issued updated guidance for recognition and measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report for more information on the future adoption of the new financial instruments credit losses accounting standard. The Company will adopt the updated guidance January 1, 2020, as required, although earlier adoption is permitted. While the ultimate impact of the adoption will depend on the size and composition of the financial instruments and market conditions at the adoption date, the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or net income. The Company’s implementation activities are ongoing and include review and validation of methodologies, data and assumptions used to estimate expected credit losses on financial instruments carried at other than fair value as well as testing updates to our investment accounting system to establish and adjust valuation allowances for fixed maturities, available for sale (“AFS”), subject to a fair value floor.

Navigators Group

On May 23, 2019, The Hartford acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Navigators Group for $70 a share, or $2.121 billion in cash, comprised of cash of $2.098 billion and a liability for cash awards to replace share-based awards of $23. The acquisition of the specialty underwriter expands product offerings and geographic reach, and adds underwriting and industry talent to strengthen the Company’s value proposition to agents and customers.

The value of in-force contracts represents the estimated profits relating to the unexpired contracts in force net of related prepaid reinsurance at the acquisition date through expiry of the contracts. The value of distribution relationships was estimated using net cash flows expected to come from the renewals of in-force contracts and new business sold through existing distribution partners less costs to service the related policies. The value of the trade name was estimated using an assumed cost of a market-based royalty fee applied to net cash flows expected to come from business marketed as Navigators, a brand of The Hartford. Lloyd's of London is an insurance market-place operating worldwide ("Lloyd's"). Lloyd's does not underwrite risks. Corporate members accept underwriting risks through the

syndicates that they form. The Company accepts risks as the sole corporate member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate"). The value of the capacity of Lloyd’s Syndicate was estimated using net cash flows attributable to Navigators Group's right to underwrite business up to an approved level of premium in the Lloyd’s market. The values for in-force contracts, the distribution relationships, trade name and the capacity of the Lloyd's Syndicate were estimated using a discounted cash flow method. Significant inputs to the valuation models include estimates of expected new business, premium retention rates, investment returns, claim costs, expenses and discount rates based on a weighted average cost of capital. The value of licenses to write insurance in over 50 U.S. jurisdictions was estimated based on recent transactions for shell companies.

[1] In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the amortization of value of in-force contracts is reported in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and the amortization of other intangible assets is reported in amortization of other intangible assets.

Property and equipment includes real estate owned and right of use assets under leases that were valued based on current values and market rental rates, software that was valued based on estimated replacement cost and furniture and equipment. These will be amortized over periods consistent with the Company’s policy.

The fair value of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses net of related reinsurance recoverables was estimated based on the present value of expected future net unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense payments discounted using a risk-free interest rate as of the acquisition date plus a risk margin. The discount and risk margin amounts substantially offset.

Debt assumed in the transaction was valued based on the principal and interest payments discounted at the current market yield. This debt was paid off in August 2019. For further discussion of this transaction, see Note 10 - Debt of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The $623 of goodwill recognized is largely attributable to the acquired employee workforce and underwriting talent, leverageable operating platform, improved investment yield and economies of scale. Goodwill is allocated to the Company's Commercial Lines reporting segment.

Immediately after closing on the acquisition of Navigators Group, effective May 23, 2019, the Company purchased an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement covering adverse reserve development (“Navigators ADC”) from National Indemnity Company ("NICO") on behalf of Navigators Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Navigators Insurers”). Under the Navigators ADC, the Navigators Insurers paid NICO a

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

reinsurance premium of $91 in exchange for reinsurance coverage of $300 of adverse net loss reserve development that attaches $100 above the Navigators Insurers' existing net loss and allocated loss adjustment reserves as of December 31, 2018 subject to the treaty of $1.816 billion for accidents and losses prior to December 31, 2018. In addition to recognizing a $91 before tax charge to earnings in the second quarter of 2019 for the Navigators ADC reinsurance premium, the Company recognized a charge against earnings of $97 before tax in the second quarter of 2019 as a result of a review of Navigators Insurers’ net acquired reserves upon acquisition of the business. Navigators Insurers had previously recognized $52 before tax of adverse reserve development in the first quarter of 2019, including $32 of adverse development subject to the Navigators ADC. As such, reserve development of $97 before tax in the second quarter of 2019 included $68 remaining of the $100 Navigators ADC retention for 2018 and prior accident years and $29 of adverse reserve development related to the 2019 accident year which is not covered by the ADC. The $68 of reserve development for the 2018 and prior accident years recorded in the second quarter of 2019 was net of a $91 reinsurance recoverable recognized under the Navigators ADC with the Company having ceded $91 of the $300 available limit, leaving $209 of remaining limit. There was no additional net adverse development subject to the Navigators ADC in the third quarter as reserve increases in commercial auto were offset by decreases in general liability, marine, commercial property and professional liability. The Navigators ADC will be accounted for as retroactive reinsurance and future adverse reserve development, if any, would result in recognizing a deferred gain.

Since the acquisition date of May 23, 2019, the revenues and net losses of the business acquired have been included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations in the

Commercial Lines reporting segment and were $616 and $140, respectively, during the period from the acquisition date to September 30, 2019, including the $91 before tax ($72 net of tax) of premium paid for the Navigators ADC and the charge of $97 before tax ($77 net of tax) for the increase in acquired reserves following the acquisition.

The Company recognized $16 of acquisition related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These costs are included in insurance operating costs and other expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities, including insurance reserves and intangible assets, as well as the related estimated useful lives of intangibles, are provisional and are subject to revision within one year of the acquisition date.

The following table presents supplemental unaudited pro forma amounts of revenue and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 for the Company as though the business was acquired on January 1, 2018. Pro forma adjustments include the revenue and earnings of Navigators Group for each period as well as amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired.

4.5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. Our fair value framework includes a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to the use of quoted prices in active markets, followed by the use of market observable inputs, followed by the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:


Level 1	Fair values based primarily on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities, in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.


Level 2	Fair values primarily based on observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, or based on prices for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3

Fair values derived when one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). With little or no observable market, the determination of fair values uses considerable judgment and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability. Also included are securities that are traded within illiquid markets and/or priced by independent brokers.

The Company will classify the financial asset or liability by level based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. In most cases, both observable inputs (e.g., changes in interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in risk assumptions) are used to determine fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.

Fixed Maturities, Equity Securities, Short-term Investments, and Derivatives

Valuation Techniques

The Company generally determines fair values using valuation techniques that use prices, rates, and other relevant information

evident from market transactions involving identical or similar instruments. Valuation techniques also include, where appropriate, estimates of future cash flows that are converted into a single discounted amount using current market expectations. The Company uses a "waterfall" approach

comprised of the following pricing sources and techniques, which are listed in priority order:

Quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are classified as Level 1.

Prices from third-party pricing services, which primarily utilize a combination of techniques. These services utilize recently reported trades of identical, similar, or benchmark securities making adjustments for market observable inputs available through the reporting date. If there are no recently

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

reported trades, they may use a discounted cash flow technique to develop a price using expected cash flows based upon the anticipated future performance of the underlying collateral discounted at an estimated market rate. Both techniques develop prices that consider the time value of

~~THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

future cash flows and provide a margin for risk, including liquidity and credit risk. Most prices provided by third-party pricing services are classified as Level 2 because the inputs used in pricing the securities are observable. However, some securities that are less liquid or trade less actively are classified as Level 3. Additionally, certain long-dated securities, such as municipal securities and bank loans, include benchmark interest rate or credit spread assumptions that are not observable in the marketplace and are thus classified as Level 3.

Internal matrix pricing, which is a valuation process internally developed for private placement securities for which the Company is unable to obtain a price from a third-party pricing service. Internal pricing matrices determine credit spreads that, when combined with risk-free rates, are applied to contractual cash flows to develop a price. The Company develops credit spreads using market based data for public securities adjusted for credit spread differentials between public and private securities, which are obtained from a survey of multiple private placement brokers. The market-based reference credit spread considers the issuer’s financial strength and term to maturity, using an independent public security index and trade information, while the credit spread differential considers the non-public nature of the security. Securities priced using internal matrix pricing are classified as Level 2 because the inputs are observable or can be corroborated with observable data.

Independent broker quotes, which are typically non-binding, use inputs that can be difficult to corroborate with observable market based data. Brokers may use present value techniques using assumptions specific to the security types, or they may use recent transactions of similar securities. Due to the lack of transparency in the process that brokers use to develop prices, valuations that are based on independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model or option model technique and ~~incorporate~~incorporates counterparty credit risk. In some cases, quoted market prices for exchange-traded and ~~OTC-cleared~~over-the-counter ("OTC") cleared derivatives may be used and in other cases independent broker quotes may be used. The pricing valuation models primarily use inputs that are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data. The valuation of certain derivatives may include significant inputs that are unobservable, such as volatility levels, and reflect the Company’s view of what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments.

Valuation Controls

The fair value process for investments is monitored by the Valuation Committee, which is a cross-functional group of senior management within the Company that meets at least quarterly. The purpose of the committee is to oversee the pricing policy and procedures, as well as to approve changes to valuation methodologies and pricing sources. Controls and procedures used to assess third-party pricing services are reviewed by the

Valuation Committee, including the results of annual due-diligence reviews.

There are also two working groups under the Valuation Committee: a Securities Fair Value Working Group (“Securities Working Group”) and a Derivatives Fair Value Working Group

(" ("Derivatives Working Group"). The working groups, which include various investment, operations, accounting and risk management professionals, meet monthly to review market data trends, pricing and trading statistics and results, and any proposed pricing methodology changes.

The Securities Working Group reviews prices received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. The group considers trading volume, new issuance activity, market trends, new regulatory rulings and other factors to determine whether the market activity is significantly different than normal activity in an active market. A dedicated pricing unit follows up with trading and investment sector professionals and challenges prices of third-party pricing services when the estimated assumptions used differ from what the unit believes a market participant would use. If the available evidence indicates that pricing from third-party pricing services or broker quotes is based upon transactions that are stale or not from trades made in an orderly market, the Company places little, if any, weight on the third party service’s transaction price and will estimate fair value using an internal process, such as a pricing matrix.

The Derivatives Working Group reviews the inputs, assumptions and methodologies used to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. A dedicated pricing team works directly with investment sector professionals to investigate the impacts of changes in the market environment on prices or valuations of derivatives. New models and any changes to current models are required to have detailed documentation and are validated to a second source. The model validation documentation and results of validation are presented to the Valuation Committee for approval.

The Company conducts other monitoring controls around securities and derivatives pricing including, but not limited to, the following:

Review of daily price changes over specific thresholds and new trade comparison to third-party pricing services.

Daily comparison of OTC derivative market valuations to counterparty valuations.

Review of weekly price changes compared to published bond prices of a corporate bond index.

Monthly reviews of price changes over thresholds, stale prices, missing prices, and zero prices.

Monthly validation of prices to a second source for securities in most sectors and for certain derivatives.

In addition, the Company’s enterprise-wide Operational Risk Management function, led by the Chief Risk Officer, is responsible for model risk management and provides an independent review of the suitability and reliability of model inputs, as well as an analysis of significant changes to current models.

[2]	Conversely, the impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact to the fair value as that presented in the table. Changes are based on long positions, unless otherwise noted. Changes in fair value will be inversely impacted for short positions.


[3]	The swaptions presented are purchased options that have the right to enter into a pay-fixed swap.

The tables above exclude ~~ABS and~~ certain ~~corporate~~ securities for which fair values are predominately based on independent broker quotes. While the Company does not have access to the significant unobservable inputs that independent brokers may use in their pricing process, the Company believes brokers likely

use inputs similar to those used by the Company and third-party pricing

services to price similar instruments. As such, in their pricing models, brokers likely use estimated loss severity rates, prepayment rates, constant default rates and credit spreads. Therefore, similar to non-broker priced securities, increases in these inputs would generally cause fair values to decrease. As of

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

~~these inputs would generally cause fair values to decrease. As of~~ ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, no0 significant adjustments were made by the Company to broker prices received.

Contingent Consideration

The acquisition of Lattice Strategies LLC ("Lattice") on July 29, 2016 requires the Company to make payments to former owners of Lattice of up to $60 contingent upon growth in exchange-traded products ("ETP") assets under management ("AUM") over a period of four years beginning on the date of acquisition. The contingent consideration is measured at fair value on a quarterly basis by projecting future eligible ETP AUM over the contingency period to estimate the amount of expected payout. The future expected payout is discounted back to the valuation date using a risk-adjusted discount rate of ~~12.7%~~11.4%. The risk-adjusted discount rate is an internally generated and significant unobservable input to fair value.

The contingency period for ETP AUM growth ends July 29, 2020 and management adjusts the fair value of the contingent consideration when it revises its projection of ETP AUM for the acquired business. Before discounting to fair value, the Company estimates a total contingent consideration payout of ~~$41,~~$43, of which ~~$10~~$20 was paid in ~~January~~the first nine months of 2019 ~~and another $10 will be paid~~with ETP AUM of $2.6 billion as of September 30, 2019. Accordingly, as of

~~in May 2019 given that ETP AUM reached $2 billion during the first quarter of 2019. Accordingly, as of March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the fair value of ~~$29~~$21 reflects remaining consideration payable of ~~$31,~~$23, assuming ETP AUM for the acquired business grows to approximately $4.1 billion over the contingency period.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instrument may not be classified with the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated asset or liability. Therefore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives reported in the Level 3 rollforward may be offset by realized and unrealized gains and losses of the associated assets and liabilities in other line items of the financial statements.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

The Company will record an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) for fixed maturities if the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before a recovery in value. A corresponding charge is recorded in net realized capital losses equal to the difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security.

The Company will also record an OTTI for those fixed maturities for which the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For these securities, the excess of the amortized cost basis over its fair value is separated into the portion representing a credit OTTI, which is recorded in net realized capital losses, and the remaining non-credit amount, which is recorded in OCI. The credit OTTI amount is the excess of its amortized cost basis over the Company’s best estimate of discounted expected future cash flows. The non-credit amount is the excess of the best estimate of the discounted expected future cash flows over the fair value. The Company’s best estimate of discounted expected future cash flows becomes the new cost

basis and accretes prospectively into net investment income over the estimated remaining life of the security.

Developing the Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with certain internal assumptions regarding the future performance. The Company's considerations include, but are not limited to, (a) changes in the financial condition of the issuer and the underlying collateral, (b) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (c) credit ratings, (d)

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

payment structure of the security and (e) the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security.

For non-structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to, economic and industry-specific trends and fundamentals, security-specific developments, industry earnings multiples and the issuer’s ability to restructure and execute asset sales.

For structured securities, assumptions include, but are not limited to, various performance indicators such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current and projected delinquency rates, loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios, average cumulative collateral loss rates that vary by vintage year, prepayment speeds, and property value declines. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, AFS securities in an unrealized loss position consisted of ~~1,682~~781 securities, primarily in the corporate ~~and commercial real estate sectors,~~sector, which were depressed primarily due to ~~an increase in interest rates and/or~~ widening of credit spreads since the securities were purchased. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, ~~98%~~95% of these securities were depressed less than 20% of cost or amortized cost. The decrease in unrealized losses during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to lower interest rates and tighter credit ~~spreads and lower interest rates.~~spreads.

Most of the securities depressed for twelve months or more relate to corporate securities ~~and structured securities with exposure to commercial real estate. Corporate securities and commercial real estate securities~~which were primarily depressed because current market spreads are wider ~~and interest rates are higher~~ than at the securities' respective purchase dates. The Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the securities outlined in the preceding discussion.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage Loan Valuation Allowances

Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when management estimates that, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company reviews mortgage loans on a quarterly basis to identify potential credit losses. Among other factors, management reviews current and projected macroeconomic trends, such as unemployment rates and property-specific factors such as rental rates, occupancy levels, LTV ratios and debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”). In addition, the Company considers historical, current and projected delinquency rates and property values. Estimates of collectibility require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability and timing of borrower default and loss severity estimates. In addition, cash flow projections may change based upon new information about the borrower's ability to pay and/or the value of underlying collateral such as changes in projected property value estimates.

~~THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

For mortgage loans that are deemed impaired, a valuation allowance is established for the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value. The mortgage loan's estimated fair value is most frequently the Company's share of the fair value of the collateral but may also be the Company’s share of either (a) the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or (b) the loan’s observable market price. A valuation allowance may be recorded for an individual loan or for a group of loans that have an LTV ratio of 90% or greater, a low DSCR or have other lower credit quality characteristics. Changes in valuation allowances are recorded in net realized capital gains and losses. Interest income on impaired loans is accrued to the extent it is deemed collectible and the borrowers continue to make payments under the original or restructured loan terms. The Company stops accruing interest income on loans when it is probable that the Company will not receive interest and principal payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company resumes accruing interest income when it determines that sufficient collateral exists to satisfy the full amount of the loan principal and interest payments and when it is probable cash will be received in the foreseeable future. Interest income on defaulted loans is recognized when received.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, mortgage loans had an amortized cost of ~~$3.6~~$3.7 billion and carrying value of ~~$3.6~~$3.7 billion, with a0 valuation ~~allowance of $1.~~allowance. As of December 31, 2018, mortgage loans had an

amortized cost of $3.7 billion and carrying value of $3.7 billion, with a valuation allowance of $1.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, ~~and~~there were 0 mortgage loans that had a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying value of mortgage loans that had a valuation allowance was $23. There were no0 mortgage loans held-for-sale as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company had no0 mortgage loans that have had extensions or restructurings other than what is allowable under the original terms of the contract.

The weighted-average LTV ratio of the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio was 52% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, while the weighted-average LTV ratio at origination of these loans was 61%. LTV ratios compare the loan amount to the value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan. The loan collateral values are updated no less than annually through reviews of the underlying properties. Factors considered in estimating property values include, among other things, actual and expected property cash flows, geographic market data and the ratio of the property's net operating income to its value. DSCR compares a property’s net operating income to the borrower’s principal and interest payments. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held no0 delinquent commercial mortgage loans past due by 90 days or more.

Mortgage Servicing

The Company originates, sells and services commercial mortgage loans on behalf of third parties and recognizes servicing ~~fees~~fee income over the period that services are performed. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, under this program, the Company serviced mortgage loans with a total outstanding principal of ~~$5.9~~$6.6 billion, of which ~~$3.5~~$4.1 billion was serviced on behalf of third parties and ~~$2.4~~$2.5 billion was retained and reported in total investments on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . As of

~~THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

December 31, 2018, the Company serviced mortgage loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $6.0 billion, of which $3.6 billion was serviced on behalf of third parties and $2.4 billion was retained and reported in total investments on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and were ~~zero~~0 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, because servicing fees were market-level fees at origination and remain adequate to compensate the Company for servicing the loans.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company is engaged with various special purpose entities and other entities that are deemed to be VIEs primarily as an

investor through normal investment activities but also as an investment manager.

A VIE is an entity that either has investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as simple majority kick-out rights, or lacks sufficient funds to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIEs to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and therefore is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Based on the Company’s assessment, if it determines it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consolidated VIEs

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not hold any securities for which it is the primary beneficiary.

Non-consolidated VIEs

The Company, through normal investment activities, makes passive investments in limited partnerships and other alternative investments. For these non-consolidated VIEs, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary as it has no ability to direct activities that could significantly affect the economic performance of the investments. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was limited to the total carrying value of $1$1.1 billion ~~at each date,~~and $1.0 billion, respectively, which are included in limited partnerships and other alternative investments in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling ~~$767~~$808 and $718, respectively, whereby the Company is committed to fund these investments and may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. These investments are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in management. For further discussion of these investments, see Equity Method Investments within Note 6 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

In addition, the Company also makes passive investments in structured securities issued by VIEs for which the Company is not the manager. These investments ~~are included in~~include ABS, CLOs,

CMBS and RMBS and are reported in ~~the Available-for-Sale Securities table~~fixed maturities, available-for-sale, and fixed maturities, FVO, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its original investment. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the relative size of the Company’s investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIEs, the level of credit subordination which reduces the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits and the Company’s inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company’s

maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of the Company’s investment.

Securities Lending, Repurchase Agreements, and Other Collateral Transactions and Restricted Investments

The Company enters into securities financing transactions as a way to earn additional income or manage liquidity, primarily through securities lending and repurchase agreements.

[2]	Collateral pledged is included within fixed maturities, AFS and short-term investments in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Securities Lending

Under a securities lending program, the Company lends certain fixed maturities within the corporate, foreign government/government agencies, and municipal sectors as well as equity securities to qualifying third-party borrowers in return for

~~THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

collateral in the form of cash or securities. For domestic and non-domestic loaned securities, respectively, borrowers provide collateral of 102% and 105% of the fair value of the securities lent at the time of the loan. Borrowers will return the securities to the Company for cash or securities collateral at maturity dates generally of 90 days or less. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection with securities lending transactions may not be sold or re-pledged, except in the event of default by the counterparty, and is not reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional collateral is obtained if the fair value of the collateral falls below 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities. The agreements are continuous and do not have stated maturity dates and provide the counterparty the right to sell or re-pledge the securities loaned. If cash, rather than securities, is received as collateral, the cash is typically invested in short-term investments or fixed maturities and is reported as an asset on the Company's Condensed

Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income associated with securities lending transactions is reported as a component of net investment income in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Repurchase Agreements

From time to time, the Company enters into repurchase agreements to manage liquidity or to earn incremental income. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which one party (transferor) agrees to sell securities to another party (transferee) in return for cash (or securities), with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same securities at a specified price at a later date. The maturity of these transactions is generally ninety days or less. Repurchase agreements include master netting provisions that provide both counterparties the right to offset claims and apply securities held by them with respect to their obligations in the event of a default. Although the Company has the contractual right to offset claims, the Company's current positions do not meet the specific conditions for net presentation.

Under repurchase agreements, the Company transfers collateral of U.S. government and government agency securities and receives cash. For repurchase agreements, the Company obtains cash in an amount equal to at least 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred. The agreements require additional collateral to be transferred when necessary and provide the counterparty the right to sell or re-pledge the securities transferred. The cash received from the repurchase program is typically invested in short-term investments or fixed maturities and is reported as an asset on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accounts for the repurchase agreements as collateralized borrowings. The securities transferred under repurchase agreements are included in fixed maturities, AFS with the obligation to repurchase those securities recorded in other liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

From time to time, the Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements where the Company purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same or substantially the same securities. The maturity of these transactions is generally within one year. The agreements require additional collateral to be transferred to the Company when necessary and the Company has the right to sell or re-pledge the securities received. The Company accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing. The receivable for reverse repurchase agreements is included within short-term investments in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

~~Federal Home Loan Bank Advance Agreements~~

The Company’s subsidiaries are members of the FHLBB which provides access to collateralized advance agreements. These agreements may be short or long-term with fixed or variable rates and can be used to earn incremental investment income. Contractual maturities of the FHLBB agreements are generally of 90 days or less. The amount of advances that can be taken is limited to a percentage of the fair value of the assets pledged as collateral which ranges from a high of 97% for U.S. government-backed fixed maturities maturing within 3 years to a low of 40% for A-rated commercial mortgage-backed fixed maturities maturing in 5 years or more. Membership to the FHLBB requires a minimum purchase of FHLBB common stock and is included within equity securities, at fair value in the~~Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, theCompany held $9 and $10, respectively, of required investment in FHLBB common stock.~~

Other Collateral Transactions

~~The Company is required by law to deposit securities with government agencies in certain states in which it conducts business.~~ As of ~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of securities on deposit was $2.3 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.~~

~~As of March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company pledged collateral of ~~$35~~$37 and $47, respectively, of U.S. government securities and municipal securities or cash primarily related to certain bank loan participations committed to through a limited partnership agreement. These amounts also include collateral related to letters of credit.

For disclosure of collateral in support of derivative transactions, refer to the Derivative Collateral Arrangements section in Note 67 - Derivatives of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For disclosure of collateral in support of credit facilities, refer to Note 10 - Debt of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Other Restricted Investments

The Company is required by law to deposit securities with government agencies in certain states in which it conducts business. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of securities on deposit was $2.4 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.

In addition, as of September 30, 2019, the Company held fixed maturities and short-term investments of $548 and $0, respectively in trust for the benefit of syndicate policyholders and other investments of $55 primarily consisting of overseas deposits in various countries with Lloyd's to support underwriting activities in those countries.

6.7. DERIVATIVES

The Company utilizes a variety of OTC, OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivative instruments as a part of its overall risk management strategy as well as to enter into replication transactions. Derivative instruments are used to manage risk associated with interest rate, equity market, credit spread, issuer default, price, and currency exchange rate risk or volatility.

Replication transactions are used as an economical means to synthetically replicate the characteristics and performance of assets that are permissible investments under the Company’s investment policies.

Strategies that Qualify for Hedge Accounting

Some of the Company's derivatives satisfy hedge accounting requirements as outlined in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in The Hartford’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report. Typically, these hedging instruments include interest rate swaps and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency swaps where the terms or expected cash flows of the hedged item closely match the terms of the swap. The interest rate swaps are typically used to manage interest rate duration of certain fixed maturity securities. The hedge strategies by hedge accounting designation include:

Cash Flow Hedges

Interest rate swaps are predominantly used to manage portfolio duration and better match cash receipts from assets with cash disbursements required to fund liabilities. These derivatives primarily convert interest receipts on floating-rate fixed maturity securities to fixed rates. The Company has also entered into interest rate swaps to convert the variable interest payments on the 3 month Libor + 2.125% junior subordinated debt to fixed interest payments. For further information, see the Junior Subordinated Debentures section within Note 13 - Debt of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in The Hartford's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

Foreign currency swaps are used to convert ~~foreign currency-denominated~~non-U.S. denominated cash flows related to certain investment receipts to U.S. dollars in order to reduce cash flow fluctuations due to changes in currency rates.

The Company also previously entered into forward starting swap agreements to hedge the interest rate exposure related to the future purchase of fixed-rate securities, primarily to hedge interest rate risk inherent in the assumptions used to price certain group benefits liabilities.

Non-qualifying Strategies

Derivative relationships that do not qualify for hedge accounting (“non-qualifying strategies”) primarily include hedging and replication strategies that utilize credit default swaps. In addition, hedges of interest rate, foreign currency and equity risk of certain fixed maturities and equities do not qualify for hedge accounting. The non-qualifying strategies include:

Credit Contracts

Credit default swaps are used to purchase credit protection on an individual entity or referenced index to economically hedge against default risk and credit-related changes in the value of fixed maturity securities. Credit default swaps are also used to assume credit risk related to an individual entity or referenced index as a part of replication transactions. These contracts

require the Company to pay or receive a periodic fee in exchange for compensation from the counterparty should the referenced security issuers experience a credit event, as defined in the contract. The Company also enters into credit default swaps to terminate existing credit default swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap going forward.

Interest Rate Swaps, Swaptions and Futures

The Company uses interest rate swaps, swaptions and futures to manage interest rate duration between assets and ~~liabilities in certain investment portfolios.~~liabilities. In addition, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to terminate existing swaps, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap going forward. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the notional amount of interest rate swaps in offsetting relationships was $7.6 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively.

Foreign Currency Swaps and Forwards

The Company enters into foreign currency swaps to convert the foreign currency exposures of certain ~~foreign currency-denominated~~non-U.S. dollar denominated fixed maturity investments to U.S. dollars. The Company may at times enter into foreign currency forwards to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated cash ~~and, previously,~~or equity securities.

Equity Index Options

The Company enters into equity index options to hedge the impact of a decline in the equity markets on the investment portfolio. The Company also enters into call options on equity securities to generate additional return.

Derivative Balance Sheet Classification

For reporting purposes, the Company has elected to offset within assets or liabilities based upon the net of the fair value amounts, income accruals, and related cash collateral receivables and payables of OTC derivative instruments executed in a legal entity and with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, which provides the Company with the legal right of offset. The following fair value amounts do not include income

accruals or related cash collateral receivables and payables, which are netted with derivative fair value amounts to determine balance sheet presentation. The Company’s derivative instruments are held for risk management purposes, unless otherwise noted in the following table. The notional amount of derivative contracts represents the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and is presented in the table to quantify the volume of the Company’s derivative activity. Notional amounts are not necessarily reflective of credit risk.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same

period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $20 of before tax deferred net gains on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve ~~months are~~ $7.months. This expectation is based on the anticipated interest payments on hedged investments in fixed maturity securities that will occur over the next twelve months, at which time the Company will recognize the deferred net gains (losses) as an adjustment to net investment income over the term of the investment cash flows.

During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no0 net reclassifications from AOCI to

earnings resulting from the discontinuance of cash-flow hedges due to forecasted transactions that were no longer probable of occurring.

Non-qualifying Strategies

For non-qualifying strategies, including embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated from their host contracts and accounted for as derivatives, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings within net realized capital gains (losses).

Credit Risk Assumed through Credit Derivatives

The Company enters into credit default swaps that assume credit risk of a single entity or referenced index in order to synthetically replicate investment transactions that are permissible under the Company's investment policies. The Company will receive periodic payments based on an agreed upon rate and notional amount and will only make a payment if there is a credit event. A credit event payment will typically be equal to the notional value of the swap contract less the value of the referenced security

issuer’s debt obligation after the occurrence of the credit event. A credit event is generally defined as a default on contractually obligated interest or principal payments or bankruptcy of the referenced entity. The credit default swaps in which the Company assumes credit risk primarily reference investment grade single corporate issuers and baskets, which include standard diversified portfolios of corporate and CMBS issuers. The diversified portfolios of corporate issuers are established within sector concentration limits and may be divided into tranches that possess different credit ratings.

[1] Included a prior accident year reserve increase of $68 related to the Navigators Group acquisition for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisting of $34 for general liability, $25 for professional liability, $10 for marine, $3 for assumed reinsurance and $2 for commercial auto liability, partially offset by a reserve decrease of $6 for commercial property.

Re-estimates of prior accident year reserves for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019

Workers’ compensation reserves were reduced, principally in small commercial driven by lower than previously estimated claim severity for the 2014 through 2017 accident years and, ~~2015~~to a lesser extent, in national accounts due to lower estimated claim severity, primarily for accident ~~years.~~years 2013 and prior.

General liability reserves were increased, primarily due to reserve increases in small commercial for accident years 2017 and 2018 due to higher frequency of high-severity bodily injury claims, reserve increases in middle and large commercial for accident years 2015 to 2018 due to higher estimated severity, as well as increased estimated severity on the acquired Navigators book of business related to U.S. construction, premises liability, products liability and excess casualty, mostly related to accident years 2014 to 2018. In addition, an increase in reserves for mass torts was offset by a decrease in reserves for extra contractual liability claims.

Marine reserveswere increased, principally related to pollution exposure from the 1980s and 1990s related to the Navigators Group book of business.

Package business reserveswere decreased, primarily due to favorable emergence on property claims related to accident years 2016 through 2018 and due to favorable development of allocated loss adjustment expenses on general liability claims for 2017 and prior accident years.

Commercial property reserveswere decreased, principally due to favorable emergence of reported losses, including on the acquired Navigators Group book of business related to offshore energy in accident years 2017 to 2018 and construction engineering across accident years 2015 to 2018.

Professional liability reserves were increased, primarily due to large loss activity, including wrongful termination and discrimination claims, in accident years 2017 and 2018 and increased estimated frequency and severity of directors’ and officers’ reserves on the Navigators Group book of business, principally for the 2014 to 2018 accident ~~year property claims.~~years.

Automobile liability reserves were ~~reduced, primarily driven by~~decreased in Personal Lines due to the emergence of lower estimated severity in ~~personal~~ automobile liability for accident year ~~2017.~~2017 and were increased in Commercial Lines due to higher estimated severity on national accounts, principally in accident years 2017 and 2018.

~~Catastrophes~~Catastrophe reserves were reduced, primarily as a result of lower estimated net losses from 2017 hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

In September, 2019, PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (together, “PG&E”) agreed in principle to an $11 billion settlement with insurers representing approximately 85 percent of insurance subrogation claims to resolve all such claims arising from the 2017 Northern California wildfires and 2018 Camp wildfire. The settlement is subject to approval of the bankruptcy court overseeing PG&E's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The settlement is also subject to the confirmation by the bankruptcy court of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization (a "Plan") which implements the terms of the settlement. If a Plan is approved, certain of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries would be entitled to settlement payments. Based on reserve estimates submitted with the subrogation request, the amount our subsidiaries could collect from PG&E, if any, would be approximately $325 but could be more or less than that amount depending on how the Company’s ultimate paid claims subject to subrogation compare to other insurers’ ultimate paid claims subject to subrogation. Approval of the Plan and amount of the Company’s ultimate subrogation recoveries from PG&E are subject to uncertainty. This includes, among other things, uncertainty regarding liabilities for current or future wildfires caused or allegedly caused by PG&E, the value of recoveries by other creditors and PG&E’s ability to secure funds to pay its creditors.

Given the uncertainty, the Company has not recognized a benefit from potential subrogation from PG&E and will evaluate in future periods when more information becomes known. The first $116 of subrogation recoveries would be offset by a $116 reduction in reinsurance recoverables resulting in no net benefit to income. No changes have been made in 2019 to estimated incurred losses from the 2017 or 2018 wildfires.

Re-estimates of prior accident year reserves for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

In addition, reserve increases for claims with lead paint exposure were offset by reserve decreases for other mass torts and extra-contractual liability claims.

Commercial property reserves were reduced, driven by an increase in estimated reinsurance ~~recoverable~~recoverables on ~~marine~~middle market property losses from the 2017 accident year.

Professional liability reserves were reduced, principally for accident years 2014 and prior, for directors and officers liability claims principally due to a number of older claims closing with limited or no payment.

Automobile liability reserveswere reduced, primarily driven by reduced estimates of loss adjustment expenses in small commercial for recent accident years and favorable development in personal automobile liability for accident years 2014 to 2017, principally due to lower severity, including with uninsured and underinsured motorist claims.

Homeowners reserves were reduced, primarily in accident years 2013 to 2017, driven by lower than expected severity across multiple perils.

Catastrophe reserves were reduced, primarily as a result of lower estimated net losses from 2017 catastrophes, principally related to hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Before reinsurance, estimated losses for 2017 catastrophe events decreased by $133 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, resulting in a decrease in reinsurance recoverables of $90 as the Company no longer expects to recover under the 2017 Property Aggregate reinsurance treaty as aggregate ultimate losses for 2017 catastrophe events are now projected to be less than $850.

Uncollectible reinsurance reserves were increased due to lower anticipated recoveries related to older accident years.

9.10. DEBT

Shelf Registrations

On May 17, 2019, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an automatic shelf registration statement (Registration No. 333-231592) for the potential offering and sale of debt and equity securities. The registration statement allows for the following types of securities to be offered: debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities, guarantees, preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares,

warrants, stock purchase contracts, and stock purchase units. In that The Hartford is a well-known seasoned issuer, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, the registration statement went effective immediately upon filing and The Hartford may offer and sell an unlimited amount of securities under the registration statement during the three -year life of the registration statement.

Senior Notes

On January 15, 2019, The Hartford repaid at maturity the $413 principal amount of its 6.0% senior notes.

In the Navigators Group acquisition, the Company assumed $265 par value 5.75% Senior notes due on October 15, 2023 with a fair value of $284 as of the acquisition date.

On August 19, 2019, The Hartford issued $600 of 2.8% senior notes (“2.8% Notes”) due August 19, 2029 and $800 of 3.6% senior notes (“3.6% Notes”) due August 19, 2049 for net proceeds of approximately $1.38 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses. Under both senior note issuances interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on August 19 and February 19, commencing February 19, 2020. The Hartford, at its option, can redeem the 2.8% Notes and the 3.6% Notes at any time, in whole or part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount being redeemed or a make-whole amount based on a comparable maturity US Treasury plus a basis point spread, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, except the make-whole amount is not applicable within the final three months of maturity for the 2.8% Notes and the final six months of maturity for the 3.6% Notes. The spread over the comparable maturity US Treasury for determining the make-whole amount is 20 and 25 basis points for the 2.8% Notes and 3.6% Notes, respectively.

After receiving proceeds from the issuance of the 2.8% Notes and 3.6% Notes, in third quarter 2019, The Hartford repaid $265 of

5.75% senior notes due 2023 that had been assumed in the Navigators Group acquisition, and its $800 of 5.125% senior notes due 2022 of the Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $90.

Other Tax Matters

In July 2019, the Company received a $421 refund of alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 the Company had ~~alternative minimum tax (AMT)~~remaining AMT credit carryovers of ~~$839~~$413 which are reflected as a current income tax receivable within other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance

Sheets. AMT credits may be used to offset a regular tax liability for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and are refundable at an amount equal to 50 percent of the excess of the minimum tax credit for the taxable year over the amount of credit allowable for the year against regular tax liability. Any remaining credits not used against regular tax liability are refundable in the 2021 tax year to be realized in 2022. For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company offset $2 and $8 of regular tax liability with AMT credits. ~~Included within~~

The Company had net ~~deferred income taxes~~operating loss (NOL) carryforwards in the ~~accompanying~~United States and the United Kingdom for which future tax benefits of $225 and $1 have been recognized and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet ~~are $459~~as a component of ~~future~~the net deferred tax ~~benefits associated with the Company's U.S. net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers.~~asset. The Company also has NOLs in other foreign jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance has been established. Although the Company projects there will be sufficient future taxable income to fully recover the remainder of the NOL carryover for which benefits have been recognized, the Company's estimate of the likely realization may change over time. The U.S. NOL carryovers, if unused, would expire between 2026 and 2036. The foreign NOLs do not expire.

The federal audits for the Company have been completed through 2013, and the Company is not currently under federal examination for any open years. Navigators Group is currently under federal audit for the 2016 year and has completed examinations through 2015. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any potential adjustments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.

The Company classifies interest and penalties (if applicable) as income tax expense or benefit in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized nonet interest ~~expense~~income of $1 for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 related to the AMT refund and $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company had no0 interest payable as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company does not believe it would be subject to any penalties in any open tax years and, therefore, has not recorded any accrual for penalties.

~~11.~~12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Management evaluates each contingent matter separately. A loss is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. Management establishes liabilities for these contingencies at its “best estimate,” or, if no one number within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated liability at the low end of the range of losses.

Litigation

under the caption ~~“Asbestos~~“Run-off Asbestos and Environmental Claims,” management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of The Hartford.

The Hartford is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert claims for substantial amounts. These actions include ~~among others, and in addition to the matters in the following discussion, putative state and federal class actions~~lawsuits seeking certification of a state or national ~~class. Such putative~~ class ~~actions have alleged,~~alleging improper business practices, including, for example, underpayment of claims or improper underwriting practices, ~~in connection with various kinds of insurance policies, such~~ as ~~personal and commercial automobile, property, disability, life and inland marine. The~~

~~THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

~~Hartford also is involved in~~well as individual ~~actions~~lawsuits in which punitive damages are sought, such as claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims or other allegedly unfair or improper business practices. Like many other insurers, The Hartford also has been joined in actions by asbestos plaintiffs asserting, among other things, that insurers had a duty to protect the public from the dangers of asbestos and that insurers committed unfair trade practices by asserting defenses on behalf of their policyholders in the underlying asbestos cases.may be sought. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of The Hartford. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, the outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a

material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

Run-off Asbestos and Environmental Claims –The Company continues to receive asbestos and environmental ("A&E") claims. Asbestos claims relate primarily to bodily injuries asserted by people who came in contact with asbestos or products containing asbestos. Environmental claims relate primarily to pollution and related clean-up costs.

The vast majority of the Company's exposure to A&E relates to policy coverages provided prior to 1986, reported within the P&C Other Operations segment (“Runoff A&E”). In addition, since 1986, the Company has written asbestos and environmental exposures under general liability policies and pollution liability under homeowners policies, which are reported in the Commercial Lines and Personal Lines segments.

Prior to 1986, the Company wrote several different categories of insurance contracts that may cover A&E claims. First, the Company wrote primary policies providing the first layer of coverage in an insured’s liability program. Second, the Company wrote excess and umbrella policies providing higher layers of coverage for losses that exhaust the limits of underlying coverage. Third, the Company acted as a reinsurer assuming a portion of those risks assumed by other insurers writing primary, excess, umbrella and reinsurance coverages. ~~Fourth, subsidiaries of the Company participated in the London Market, writing both direct insurance and assumed reinsurance business.~~

Significant uncertainty limits the ability of insurers and reinsurers to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid gross losses and expenses related to environmental and particularly asbestos claims. The degree of variability of gross reserve estimates for these exposures is significantly greater than for other more traditional exposures.

In the case of the reserves for asbestos exposures, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty include inadequate loss development patterns, plaintiffs’ expanding theories of liability, the risks inherent in major litigation, and inconsistent

THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

emerging legal doctrines. Furthermore, over time, insurers, including the Company, have experienced significant changes in the rate at which asbestos claims are brought, the claims experience of particular insureds, and the value of claims, making predictions of future exposure from past experience uncertain. Plaintiffs and insureds also have sought to use bankruptcy proceedings, including “pre-packaged” bankruptcies, to accelerate and increase loss payments by insurers. In addition, some policyholders have asserted new classes of claims for coverages to which an aggregate limit of liability may not apply. Further uncertainties include insolvencies of other carriers and unanticipated developments pertaining to the Company’s ability to recover reinsurance for A&E claims. Management believes these issues are not likely to be resolved in the near future.

In the case of the reserves for environmental exposures, factors contributing to the high degree of uncertainty include expanding

theories of liability and damages, the risks inherent in major litigation, inconsistent decisions concerning the existence and scope of coverage for environmental claims, and uncertainty as to the monetary amount being sought by the claimant from the insured.

The reporting pattern for assumed reinsurance claims, including those related to A&E claims, is much longer than for direct claims. In many instances, it takes months or years to determine that the policyholder’s own obligations have been met and how the reinsurance in question may apply to such claims. The delay in reporting reinsurance claims and exposures adds to the uncertainty of estimating the related reserves.

It is also not possible to predict changes in the legal and legislative environment and their effect on the future development of A&E claims.

Given the factors described above, the Company believes the actuarial tools and other techniques it employs to estimate the ultimate cost of claims for more traditional kinds of insurance exposure are less precise in estimating reserves for A&E exposures. For this reason, the Company principally relies on exposure-based analysis to estimate the ultimate costs of these claims, both gross and net of reinsurance, and regularly evaluates new account information in assessing its potential A&E exposures. The Company supplements this exposure-based analysis with evaluations of the Company’s historical direct net loss and expense paid and reported experience, and net loss and expense paid and reported experience by calendar and/or report year, to assess any emerging trends, fluctuations or characteristics suggested by the aggregate paid and reported activity.

While the Company believes that its current A&E reserves are appropriate, significant uncertainties limit the ability of insurers and reinsurers to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid losses and related expenses. The ultimate liabilities, thus, could exceed the currently recorded reserves, and any such additional liability, while not estimable now, could be material to The Hartford’s consolidated operating results and liquidity.

AsFor its Run-off A&E, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company reported ~~$1.0 billion~~$910 of net asbestos reserves and ~~$196~~$133 of net environmental ~~reserves.~~ reserves. While the Company believes that its current Run-off A&E reserves are appropriate, significant uncertainties limit our ability to estimate the ultimate reserves necessary for unpaid losses and related expenses. The ultimate liabilities, thus, could exceed the currently recorded reserves, and

any such additional liability, while not reasonably estimable now, could be material to The Hartford's consolidated operating results and liquidity.

Effective December 31, 2016, the Company entered into an A&E adverse development cover ("ADC") reinsurance agreement with NICO to reduce uncertainty about potential adverse development of A&E reserves. Under the ADC, the Company paid a reinsurance premium of $650 for NICO to assume adverse net loss and allocated loss adjustment expense reserve development up to $1.5 billion above the Company’s existing net A&E reserves as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion. The $650 reinsurance premium was placed in a collateral trust account as security for NICO’s claim payment obligations to the Company. Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, net adverse A&E reserve development after December 31, 2016 will result in an offsetting reinsurance recoverable up to the $1.5 billion limit. Cumulative ceded losses up to the $650 reinsurance premium

~~THE HARTFORD FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

paid are recognized as a dollar-for-dollar offset to ~~direct~~gross losses incurred. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding the $650 reinsurance premium paid would result in a deferred gain. The deferred gain would be recognized over the claim settlement period in the proportion of the amount of cumulative ceded losses collected from the reinsurer to the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries. Consequently, until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings, cumulative adverse development of A&E claims after December 31, 2016 in excess of $650 may result in significant charges against earnings. Furthermore, cumulative adverse development of A&E claims could ultimately exceed the $1.5 billion treaty limit in which case any adverse development in excess of the treaty limit would be absorbed as a charge to earnings by the Company. In these scenarios, the effect of these charges could be material to the Company’s consolidated operating results and liquidity. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company has incurred $523 in cumulative adverse development on A&E reserves that have been ceded under the ADC treaty with NICO, leaving approximately $977 of coverage available for future adverse net reserve development, if any.

Derivative Commitments

counterparties to the derivative agreements could demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization and in certain instances enable the counterparties to terminate the agreements and demand immediate settlement of all outstanding derivative positions traded under each impacted bilateral agreement. The settlement amount is determined by netting the derivative positions transacted under each agreement. If the termination rights were to be exercised by the counterparties, it could impact the legal entity’s ability to conduct hedging activities by increasing the associated costs and decreasing the willingness of counterparties to transact with the legal entity. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 was $6881. For this $6881, the legal entities have posted collateral of $6180 in the normal course of business. Based on derivative market values as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, a downgrade of one level below the current financial strength

Based on derivative market values as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, a downgrade of two levels below the current financial strength ratings by either Moody's or S&P would require an additional $8 of assets to be posted as collateral. These collateral amounts could change as derivative

market values change, as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated. The nature of the additional collateral that we would post, if required, iswould be primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes and government agency securities.

~~12.~~13. EQUITY

Capital Purchase Program ("CPP") Warrants

~~As of~~ ~~March 31, 2019~~ ~~and December 31, 2018, respectively, the Company has 1.0 million and 1.9 million of CPP warrants outstanding and exercisable. The~~ CPP warrants were issued in 2009 as part of a program established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The CPP warrants ~~expire in~~expired on June 26, 2019.

CPP warrant exercises were ~~0.9 million and~~ 0.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. CPP warrant exercises were 1.9 million and 0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The declaration of common stock dividends by the Company in excess of a threshold triggers a provision in the Company's warrant agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon resulting in adjustments to the CPP warrant exercise price and the number of shares deliverable for each warrant exercised (the “Warrant Share Number”). Accordingly, the declaration of a common stock dividend during the three months ended ~~March 31, 2019~~ ~~resulted in an adjustment to the CPP warrant exercise price. The CPP warrant exercise price was $8.791 as of~~ ~~March 31, 2019~~ ~~and~~

~~$8.836 as~~ As of December 31, 2018, ~~and the Warrant Share Number was 1.1 as of~~ ~~March 31, 2019~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2018.

Equity Repurchase Program

In February, 2019, the Company announced a $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization by the Board of Directors which is effective through December 31, 2020. Based on projected holding company resources, the Company ~~expects to use a portion of the authorization~~has begun share repurchases in 2019 but anticipates using the majority of the program in 2020. Any repurchase of shares under the equity repurchase program is dependent on market conditions and other factors.

~~16.~~17. BUSINESS DISPOSITION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Sale of life and annuity business

On May 31, 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Hartford Holdings, Inc., completed the sale of its life and annuity business to a group of investors led by Cornell Capital LLC, Atlas Merchant Capital LLC, TRB Advisors LP, Global Atlantic Financial Group, Pine Brook and J. Safra Group. Under the terms of the sale agreement signed December 3, 2017, the investor group formed a limited partnership, Hopmeadow Holdings LP, that acquired HLI, and its life and annuity operating subsidiaries. The Hartford received a 9.7% ownership interest in the limited partnership. The life and annuity operations met the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations and are reported in the Corporate category through the date of sale.

The Hartford reported its 9.7% ownership interest in Hopmeadow Holdings LP, which is accounted for under the equity

method, in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Hartford recognizes its share of income in other revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on a three month delay, when financial information from the investee becomes available. The Company recognized ~~$28,~~$14 and $45, before tax, of income for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, respectively. Cash inflows for dividends received from Hopmeadow Holdings LP were $67 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Other cash inflows and outflows from and to the life and annuity business after closing were immaterial to the overall inflows and outflows of the Company.

For further information on the sale, including ongoing transactions with the life and annuity business sold, see Note 20 - Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in The Hartford's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollar amounts in millions except for per share data, unless otherwise stated)

The Hartford provides projections and other forward-looking information in the following discussions, which contain many forward-looking statements, particularly relating to the Company’s future financial performance. These forward-looking statements are estimates based on information currently available to the Company, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the cautionary statements set forth on pages 34 and 45 of this Form 10-Q. Actual results are likely to differ, and in the past have differed, materially from those forecast by the Company, depending on the outcome of various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the following discussion; Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in The Hartford’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report; and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Hartford undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

On ~~August 22, 2018,~~May 23, 2019, the Company completed the previously announced ~~it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding common shares~~acquisition of The Navigators Group, Inc. ("Navigators Group"), a global specialty underwriter, for $70 a share, or ~~$2.2~~$2.137 billion in cash, including transaction expenses. ~~The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019, subject to customary~~Immediately after closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The Company signed an agreement with National Indemnity Company ("NICO"), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which, subject to regulatory approval and upon closing ofon the acquisition ~~will have~~of Navigators Group, ~~subsidiaries enter into~~effective May 23, 2019, the Company purchased an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement ~~with NICO~~covering adverse development (“Navigators ADC”) from National Indemnity Company ("NICO") on behalf of Navigators Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Navigators Insurers”). For further information regarding the Navigators ADC, refer to cover unfavorable reserve development to Navigators Group reserves subject to the agreement, with limited exclusions. The reinsurance agreement will cover accident year 2018 and prior year reserves. The reinsurance agreement, provides up to $300 of coverage for potential unfavorable net loss reserve development in excess of $1.916 billion which is $100 above Navigators Group recorded reserves subject to the agreement of $1.816 billion as of December 31, 2018. The reinsurance premium for this agreement is approximately $91, before tax, or $72, after tax, which will be recorded as a charge to net incomeInsurance Risk in the ~~period the transaction closes.~~Enterprise Risk Management section.

On May 31, 2018, Hartford Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the sale of the issued and outstanding equity of Hartford Life, Inc. (“HLI”), a holding company, and its life and annuity operating subsidiaries.

KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND RATIOS

The Company considers the measures and ratios in the following discussion to be key performance indicators for its businesses. Management believes that these ratios and measures are useful in understanding the underlying trends in The Hartford’s businesses. However, these key performance indicators should only be used in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the results presented in the segment discussions that follow in this MD&A. These ratios and measures may not be comparable to other performance measures used by the Company’s competitors.

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

Definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Measures and Ratios

Assets Under Management ("AUM")- include mutual fund and exchange-traded products ("ETP") assets. AUM is a measure used by the Company's Hartford Funds segment because a significant portion of the Company’s mutual fund and ETP revenues are based upon asset values. These revenues

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

increase or decrease with a rise or fall in AUM whether caused by changes in the market or through net flows.

Book Value per Diluted Share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI")- is calculated based upon a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing (a) common stockholders' equity, excluding AOCI, ~~after~~net of tax, by (b) common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. Book value per diluted share is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") measure. The Company provides this measure to enable investors to analyze the amount of the Company's net worth that is primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company believes it is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items in AOCI that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates.

~~Current Accident Year Catastrophe~~Combined Ratio-a component of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, represents the ratio of catastrophe losses incurred in the current accident year (net of reinsurance) to earned premiums. A catastrophe is an event that causes $25 or more in industry insured property losses and affects a significant number of property and casualty policyholders and insurers, as defined by the Property Claim Service office of Verisk. The current accident year catastrophe ratio includes the effect of catastrophe losses, but does not include the effect of reinstatement premiums.

~~Combined Ratio-~~the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, the expense ratio and the policyholder dividend ratio. This ratio is a relative measurement that describes the related cost of losses and expenses for every $100 of earned premiums. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100 demonstrates underwriting losses.

Core Earnings- a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that core earnings provides investors with a valuable measure of the underlying performance of the Company’s businesses because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services businesses that may be obscured by including the net effect of certain realized capital gains and losses, ~~certain loss on extinguishment of debt,~~any deferred gain resulting from retroactive reinsurance and subsequent changes in the deferred gain, integration and transaction costs in connection with an acquired business, loss on extinguishment of debt, gains and losses on reinsurance transactions, change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a

business, income tax benefit from a reduction in deferred income tax valuation allowance, and results of discontinued operations. Some realized capital gains and losses are primarily driven by investment decisions and external economic developments, the nature and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance and underwriting aspects of our business. Accordingly, core earnings excludes the effect of all realized gains and losses that tend to be variable from period to period based on capital market conditions. The Company believes, however, that some realized capital gains and losses are integrally related to our insurance operations, so core earnings includes net realized gains and losses such as net periodic settlements on credit derivatives. These net realized gains and losses are directly related to an offsetting item included in the income statement such as net investment income. Deferred gain resulting from retroactive reinsurance and subsequent changes in the deferred gain are excluded from core earnings given that these reinsurance agreements economically transfer risk to the reinsurers and including the benefit from retroactive reinsurance in core earnings provides greater insight into the economics of the business.Core earnings are net of preferred stock dividends declared since they are a cost of financing more akin to interest expense on debt and are expected to be a recurring expense as long as the preferred stock is outstanding. Net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders and income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to core earnings. Core earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders or income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business. Therefore, the Company believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss), net income (loss) available to common stockholders, income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common stockholders and core earnings when reviewing the Company’s performance.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Core Earnings Margin- a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate, and believes is an important measure of, the Group Benefits segment’s operating performance. Core earnings margin is calculated by dividing (a) core earnings by (b) revenues excluding buyouts and realized gains (losses). Net income margin is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that core earnings margin provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of Group Benefits because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the effect of buyouts and realized gains (losses) on revenues or obscured by the effect on net income of realized capital gains (losses), integration costs, and the impact of Tax Reform on net deferred tax assets. Core earnings margin should not be considered as a substitute for net income margin and does not reflect the overall profitability of Group Benefits. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both net income margin and core earnings margin when reviewing performance. A reconciliation of net income margin to core earnings margin is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Group Benefits.

Current Accident Year Catastrophe Ratio-a component of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, represents the ratio of catastrophe losses incurred in the current accident year (net of reinsurance) to earned premiums. For U.S. events, a catastrophe is an event that causes $25 or more in industry insured property losses and affects a significant number of property and casualty policyholders and insurers, as defined by the Property Claim Service office of Verisk. For international events, the Company's approach is similar, informed, in part, by how Lloyd's of London defines catastrophes. Lloyd's of London is an insurance market-place operating worldwide ("Lloyd's"). Lloyd's does not underwrite risks. The Company accepts risks as the sole member of Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 ("Lloyd's Syndicate"). The current accident year catastrophe ratio includes the effect of catastrophe losses, but does not include the effect of reinstatement premiums.

Expense Ratio- for the underwriting segments of Commercial Lines and Personal Lines is the ratio of underwriting expenses less fee income, to earned premiums. Underwriting expenses include the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and insurance operating costs and expenses, including certain centralized services costs and bad debt expense. DAC include commissions, taxes, licenses and fees and other incremental direct underwriting expenses and are amortized over the policy term.

The expense ratio for Group Benefits is expressed as the ratio of insurance operating costs and other expenses including amortization of intangibles and amortization of DAC, to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums.

The expense ratio for Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and Group Benefits does not include integration and other transaction costs associated with an acquired business.

Fee Income- is largely driven from amounts earned as a result of contractually defined percentages of assets under management in our Hartford Funds business. These fees are generally earned on a daily basis. Therefore, the growth in assets under management either through positive net flows or favorable market performance will have a favorable impact on fee income.

Conversely, either negative net flows or unfavorable market performance will reduce fee income.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio- a measure of the cost of claims incurred in the calendar year divided by earned premium and includes losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred for both the current and prior accident years. Among other factors, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio needed for the Company to achieve its targeted return on equity fluctuates from year to year based on changes in the expected investment yield over the claim settlement period, the timing of expected claim settlements and the targeted returns set by management based on the competitive environment.

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is affected by claim frequency and claim severity, particularly for shorter-tail property lines of business, where the emergence of claim frequency and severity is credible and likely indicative of ultimate losses. Claim frequency represents the percentage change in the

average number of reported claims per unit of exposure in the current accident year compared to that of the previous accident year. Claim severity represents the percentage change in the estimated average cost per claim in the current accident year compared to that of the previous accident year. As one of the factors used to determine pricing, the Company’s practice is to first make an overall assumption about claim frequency and severity for a given line of business and then, as part of the rate-making process, adjust the assumption as appropriate for the particular state, product or coverage.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio before Catastrophes and Prior Accident Year Development- a measure of the cost of non-catastrophe loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred in the current accident year divided by earned premiums. Management believes that the current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio before catastrophes is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year development.

Loss Ratio, excluding Buyouts- utilized for the Group Benefits segment and is expressed as a ratio of benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses to premiums and other considerations, excluding buyout premiums. Since Group Benefits occasionally buys a block of claims for a stated premium amount, the Company excludes this buyout from the loss ratio used for evaluating the profitability of the business as buyouts may distort the loss ratio. Buyout premiums represent takeover of open claim liabilities and other non-recurring premium amounts.

Mutual Fund and Exchange-Traded Product Assets- are owned by the shareholders of those products and not by the Company and, therefore, are not reflected in the Company’s ~~consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements except in instances where the Company seeds new investment products and holds an investment in the fund for a period of time. Mutual fund and ETP assets are a measure used by the Company primarily because a significant portion of the Company’s Hartford Funds segment revenues are based upon asset values. These revenues increase or decrease with a rise or fall in AUM whether caused by changes in the market or through net flows.

New Business Written Premium- represents the amount of premiums charged for policies issued to customers

who were not insured with the Company in the previous policy term. New business written premium plus renewal policy written premium equals total written premium.

Policies in Force- represents the number of policies with coverage in effect as of the end of the period. The number of policies in force is a growth measure used for Personal Lines and standard commercial lines (small commercial and middle market lines within middle & large commercial) within Commercial Lines and is affected by both new business growth and policy count retention.

Policy Count Retention- represents the ratio of the number of policies renewed during the period divided by the number of policies available to renew. The number of policies available to renew represents the number of policies, net of any cancellations, written in the previous policy term. Policy count retention is affected by a number of factors, including the percentage of renewal policy quotes accepted and decisions by the Company to non-renew policies because of specific policy underwriting concerns or because of a decision to reduce

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

premium writings in certain classes of business or states. Policy count retention is also affected by advertising and rate actions taken by competitors.

Policyholder Dividend Ratio- the ratio of policyholder dividends to earned premium.

Prior Accident Year Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio- represents the increase (decrease) in the estimated cost of settling catastrophe and non-catastrophe claims incurred in prior accident years as recorded in the current calendar year divided by earned premiums.

Reinstatement Premiums- represents additional ceded premium paid for the reinstatement of the amount of reinsurance coverage that was reduced as a result of the Company ceding losses to reinsurers.

Renewal Earned Price Increase (Decrease)- Written premiums are earned over the policy term, which is six months for certain Personal Lines automobile business and twelve months for substantially all of the remainder of the Company’s Property and Casualty business. Since the Company earns premiums over the six to twelve month term of the policies, renewal earned price increases (decreases) lag renewal written price increases (decreases) by six to twelve months.

Renewal Written Price Increase (Decrease)- for Commercial Lines, represents the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and individual risk pricing decisions per unit of exposure on standard commercial lines policies that renewed. For Personal Lines, renewal written price increases represent the total change in premium per policy since the prior year on those policies that renewed and includes the combined effect of rate changes, amount of insurance and other changes in exposure. For Personal Lines, other changes in exposure include, but are not limited to, the effect of changes in number of drivers, vehicles and incidents, as well as changes in customer policy elections, such as deductibles and limits. The rate component represents the change in rate filed with and approved by state regulators during the period and the amount of insurance represents the change in the value of the rating base, such as model year/vehicle symbol for automobiles, building replacement

costs for property and wage inflation for workers’ compensation. A number of factors affect renewal written price increases (decreases) including expected loss costs as projected by the Company’s pricing actuaries, rate filings approved by state regulators, risk selection decisions made by the Company’s underwriters and marketplace competition. Renewal written price changes reflect the property and casualty insurance market cycle. Prices tend to increase for a particular line of business when insurance carriers have incurred significant losses in that line of business in the recent past or the industry as a whole commits less of its capital to writing exposures in that line of business. Prices tend to decrease when recent loss experience has been favorable or when competition among insurance carriers increases. Renewal written price statistics are subject to change from period to period, based on a number of factors, including changes in actuarial estimates and the effect of subsequent cancellations and non-renewals, and modifications made to better reflect ultimate pricing achieved.

Return on Assets (“ROA”), Core Earnings- a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate, and believes is an important measure of the Hartford Funds segment’s

operating performance. ROA, core earnings is calculated by dividing core earnings by a daily average AUM. ROA is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes that ROA, core earnings, provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Hartford Funds segment because it reveals trends in our business that may be obscured by the effect of realized gains (losses). ROA, core earnings, should not be considered as a substitute for ROA and does not reflect the overall profitability of our Hartford Funds business. Therefore, the Company believes it is important for investors to evaluate both ROA, and ROA, core earnings when reviewing the Hartford Funds segment performance. A reconciliation of ROA to ROA, core earnings is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Hartford Funds.

Underlying Combined Ratio- a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the combined ratio before catastrophes, ~~and~~ prior accident year ~~development.~~development and change in current accident year loss reserves recorded upon acquisition of a business. Combined ratio is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The Company believes the underlying combined ratio is an important measure of the trend in profitability since it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense reserve ~~development.~~development and current accident year change in loss reserves upon acquisition of a business. A reconciliation of combined ratio to underlying combined ratio is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Commercial Lines and Personal Lines.

Underwriting Gain (Loss)- The Company's management evaluates profitability of the P&C businesses primarily on the basis of underwriting gain (loss). Underwriting gain (loss) is a before tax measure that represents earned premiums less incurred losses, loss adjustment expenses, amortization of DAC, underwriting expenses, amortization of other intangible assets and dividends to policyholders. Underwriting gain (loss) is influenced significantly by earned premium growth and the adequacy of the Company's pricing. Underwriting profitability over time is also greatly influenced by the Company's pricing and underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

diversification, its management of claims, its use of reinsurance and its ability to manage its expense ratio, which it accomplishes through economies of scale and its management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Company believes that underwriting gain (loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of before tax profitability derived from underwriting activities, which are managed separately from the Company's investing activities. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to underwriting gain (loss) is set forth in the Results of Operations section within MD&A - Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and Property & Casualty Other Operations.

Written and Earned Premiums- Written premium ~~is a statutory accounting financial measure which~~ represents the amount of premiums charged for policies issued, net of reinsurance, during a fiscal period. ~~Earned premium is a U.S. GAAP and statutory measure.~~ Premiums are considered earned and are included in the financial results on a pro rata basis over the policy period. Management believes that written premium is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it reflects current trends in the Company’s sale of property and casualty insurance products. Written and earned premium are recorded net of ceded reinsurance premium.

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

Traditional life and disability insurance type products, such as those sold by Group Benefits, collect premiums from policyholders in exchange for financial protection for the policyholder from a specified insurable loss, such as death or disability. These premiums together with net investment income earned are used to pay the contractual obligations under these insurance contracts. Two major factors, new sales and persistency, impact premium growth. Sales can increase or decrease in a given year based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, customer demand for the Company’s product offerings, pricing competition, distribution channels and the Company’s reputation and ratings. Persistency refers to the percentage of premium remaining in-force from year-to-year.

THE HARTFORD’S OPERATIONS

Overview

The Hartford conducts business principally in five reporting segments including Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Property & Casualty Other Operations, Group Benefits and Hartford Funds, as well as a Corporate category. The Company includes in the Corporate category discontinued operations related to the life and annuity business sold in May 2018, reserves for run-off structured settlement and terminal funding agreement liabilities, capital raising activities (including debt financing and related interest expense), purchase accounting adjustments related to goodwill and other expenses not allocated to the reporting segments. Corporate also includes investment management fees and expenses related to managing third party business, including management of the invested assets of Talcott Resolution Life, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Talcott Resolution"). Talcott Resolution is the new holding company of the life and annuity business that we sold in May 2018. In addition, Corporate includes a 9.7% ownership interest in the legal entity that acquired the life and annuity business sold.

The Company derives its revenues principally from: (a) premiums earned for insurance coverage provided to insureds; (b)

management fees on mutual fund and ETP assets; (c) net investment income; (d) fees earned for services provided to third parties; and (e) net realized capital gains and losses. Premiums charged for insurance coverage are earned principally on a pro rata basis over the terms of the related policies in-force.

The profitability of the Company's property and casualty insurance businesses over time is greatly influenced by the Company’s underwriting discipline, which seeks to manage exposure to loss through favorable risk selection and diversification, its management of claims, its use of reinsurance, the size of its in force block, actual mortality and morbidity experience, and its ability to manage its expense ratio which it accomplishes through economies of scale and its management of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. Pricing adequacy depends on a number of factors, including the ability to obtain regulatory approval for rate changes, proper evaluation of underwriting risks, the ability to project future loss cost frequency and severity based on historical loss experience adjusted for known trends, the Company’s response to rate actions taken by competitors, its expense levels and expectations about regulatory and legal developments. The Company seeks to price its insurance policies such that insurance premiums and

future net investment income earned on premiums received will cover underwriting expenses and the ultimate cost of paying claims reported on the policies and provide for a profit margin. For many of its insurance products, the Company is required to obtain approval for its premium rates from state insurance ~~departments.~~departments and the Lloyd's Syndicate's ability to write business is subject to Lloyd's approval for its premium capacity each year.

Similar to Property & Casualty, profitability of the Group Benefits business depends, in large part, on the ability to evaluate and price risks appropriately and make reliable estimates of mortality, morbidity, disability and longevity. To manage the pricing risk, Group Benefits generally offers term insurance policies, allowing for the adjustment of rates or policy terms in order to minimize the adverse effect of market trends, loss costs, declining interest rates and other factors. However, as policies are typically sold with rate guarantees of up to three years, pricing for the Company’s products could prove to be inadequate if loss and expense trends emerge adversely during the rate guarantee period. For some of its products, the Company is required to obtain approval for its premium rates from state insurance departments. New and renewal business for group benefits business, particularly for long-term disability, are priced using an assumption about expected investment yields over time. While the Company employs asset-liability duration matching strategies to mitigate risk and may use interest-rate sensitive derivatives to hedge its exposure in the Group Benefits investment portfolio, cash flow patterns related to the payment of benefits and claims are uncertain and actual investment yields could differ significantly from expected investment yields, affecting profitability of the business. In addition to appropriately evaluating and pricing risks, the profitability of the Group Benefits business depends on other factors, including the Company’s response to pricing decisions and other actions taken by competitors, its ability to offer voluntary products and self-service capabilities, the persistency of its sold business and its ability to manage its expenses which it seeks to achieve through economies of scale and operating efficiencies.

The financial results of the Company’s mutual fund and ETP businesses depend largely on the amount of assets under

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

management and the level of fees charged based, in part, on asset share class and product type. Changes in assets under management are driven by two main factors, net flows, and the market return of the funds, which are heavily influenced by the return realized in the equity and bond markets. Net flows are comprised of new sales less redemptions by mutual fund and ETP shareholders. Financial results are highly correlated to the growth in assets under management since these products generally earn fee income on a daily basis.

The investment return, or yield, on invested assets is an important element of the Company’s earnings since insurance products are priced with the assumption that premiums received can be invested for a period of time before benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid. Due to the need to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy claim obligations, the majority of the Company’s invested assets have been held in available-for-sale

securities, including, among other asset classes, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government debt, short-term debt, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations.

The primary investment objective for the Company is to maximize economic value, consistent with acceptable risk parameters, including the management of credit risk and interest rate

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

sensitivity of invested assets, while generating sufficient ~~after~~net of tax income to meet policyholder and corporate obligations. Investment strategies are developed based on a variety of factors including business needs, regulatory requirements and tax considerations.

Financial Highlights



Net Income Available to Common Stockholders	Net Income Available to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share	Book Value per Diluted Share

Net income available to common stockholders increased from ~~first~~third quarter 2018 primarily due to lower current accident year catastrophes, a lower group disability loss ratio, an increase in net realized capital gains, and higher ~~earnings from continuing operations,~~net investment income, partially offset by a decrease in income from discontinued operations. The higher income from continuing operations was primarily driven by a change to net realized capital gains from net capitalized losses in 2018, and a lower disability loss ~~ratio and lower expenses in Group Benefits. Also contributing were higher net investment income and lower interest expense as well as earnings from the Company's retained equity interest~~on extinguishment of debt in the ~~former life~~2019 period and ~~annuity operations, partially offset by a decrease in Property & Casualty current accident year underwriting results and lower net favorable prior accident year development.~~higher integration costs.

Book value per diluted share increased from December 31, 2018, as a result of a ~~10%~~23% increase in common stockholders' equity resulting primarily from an increase in AOCI ~~over the three month period,~~ as well as net income in excess of ~~stockholder~~ dividends.



~~Net Investment Income~~	~~Annualized Investment Yield, After tax~~

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

~~Net investment income~~ increased 4% compared with first quarter 2018 primarily due to greater invested asset levels, average reinvestment rates higher than the sales/maturity yield, and higher short-term interest rates, partially offset by lower income from limited partnerships and other alternative investments.

~~Net realized capital gains~~improved from a net loss in first quarter 2018, with gains in 2019 primarily driven by appreciation in value of equity securities due to higher equity market levels and net gains on sales in 2019 of fixed maturity securities driven by duration and credit management.

~~Annualized investment yield, after tax,~~ decreased from first quarter 2018 primarily due to lower returns on limited partnerships and other alternative investments and a higher level of liquidity, partially offset by the impact of average reinvestment rates higher than the sales/maturity yield during the past year and higher short-term interest rates.

~~Net unrealized gains, after tax, for fixed maturities in the investment portfolio increased by $679 in first quarter 2019 primarily due to the effect of tighter credit spreads and lower interest rates.~~



~~P&C Written Premiums~~	~~P&C Combined Ratio~~

~~Written premiums~~ ~~for Property & Casualty increased 2% compared with first quarter 2018 reflecting an increase in Commercial Lines, partially offset by a decrease in Personal Lines.~~

~~Combined ratio~~ ~~for~~Property & Casualty increased 2.2 points compared with first quarter 2018, largely due to a higher workers' compensation loss ratio, higher property loss ratio driven by elevated non-catastrophe related property losses, a higher expense ratio, and lower net favorable prior accident year development ratio, partially offset by a lower personal auto liability loss ratio.

~~Catastrophe losses~~ ~~of $104, before tax, were relatively flat compared with catastrophe losses of $103, before tax, in first quarter 2018, with both periods driven by losses from winter storms.~~

~~Prior accident year development~~was a net favorable $11, before tax, in first quarter 2019, primarily due to a decrease in reserves for workers' compensation, catastrophes, and auto liability, partially offset by an increase in reserves for general liability and package business. Reserve development was a net favorable $32, before tax, in first quarter 2018, primarily due to a decrease in workers' compensation, commercial property and homeowners reserves.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Net Investment Income	Annualized Investment Yield, Net of tax

Net investment income increased 10% compared with third quarter 2018 primarily due to higher asset levels, largely driven by the acquisition of Navigators Group, and higher returns on limited partnerships and other alternative investments, partially offset by the impact of lower reinvestment rates.

Net realized capital gainsimproved from the third quarter 2018, with gains in 2019 primarily driven by net gains on sales of fixed maturity securities driven by duration and credit management trades as well as appreciation in value of equity securities due to higher equity market levels.

Annualized investment yield, net of tax, was consistent with third quarter 2018 as a higher yield on limited partnerships and other alternative investments was offset by the impact of lower reinvestment rates.

Net unrealized gains, net of tax, for fixed maturities in the investment portfolio increased by $401 in third quarter 2019 primarily due to the effect of lower interest rates.



P&C Written Premiums	P&C Combined Ratio

Written premiums for Property & Casualty increased 17% compared with third quarter 2018 reflecting an increase in Commercial Lines, including the effect of the Navigators Group acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in Personal Lines.

Combined ratio forProperty & Casualty decreased 1.8 points compared with third quarter 2018, largely due to lower current accident year catastrophes and lower non-catastrophe property losses, partially offset by less favorable prior year reserve development and a higher expense ratio.

Catastrophe losses of $106, before tax, were lower compared with catastrophe losses of $169, before tax, in third quarter 2018, driven by lower losses from hurricanes and tropical storms in the 2019 period and losses from wildfires in the 2018 period.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Prior accident year developmentwas favorable $47, before tax, in the third quarter 2019, primarily due to a decrease in reserves for workers' compensation, personal auto liability and package business, partially offset by an increase in reserves for commercial auto and general liability. Reserve development was a net favorable $60, before tax, in third quarter 2018, primarily due to a decrease in reserves for workers' compensation, professional liability, auto liability and 2017 catastrophes.

Net Income Margin - Group Benefits

Net income margin for Group Benefits increased compared with ~~first~~third quarter 2018 primarily due to a lower group disability ratio, a change ~~from net realized capital losses~~ to net realized capital gains, aand additional tax expense in the 2018 period that was primarily driven by the effect of the lower ~~group disability loss ratio, lower insurance operating costs~~rate on deferred tax assets due to the filing of the Company's 2017 Federal income tax return and ~~lower amortization~~finalization of ~~other intangible assets,~~the opening balance sheet for the Aetna Group Benefits acquisition. This was partially offset by a ~~slightly~~ higher group life loss ~~ratio.~~ratio, higher commission rates on voluntary products and investments in technology and claims operations. Contributing to the net income margin in both the 2019 and 2018 periods was favorable prior incurral year development.

Three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018

Net income available to common stockholdersincreased by $92 from third quarter 2018 primarily due to lower current accident year catastrophes, a lower group disability loss ratio, an increase in net realized capital gains, and higher net investment income, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt in the 2019 period and higher integration costs. In addition, lower non-catastrophe property losses and an increase in earnings from the Company's retained equity interest in the former life and annuity operations were largely offset by the effect of lower Personal Lines earned premium and less favorable P&C prior accident year development.

Earned premiumsincreased by $407 before tax, reflecting a 26% increase in Commercial Lines, including the effect of the Navigators Group acquisition, partially offset by a 5% decrease in Personal Lines and a 1% decrease in Group Benefits. For a discussion of the Company's operating results by segment, see MD&A - Segment Operating Summaries.

Fee income was down 4% reflecting reduced fee income in Hartford Funds resulting primarily from fee reductions and a shift to lower fee funds.

Net investment incomeincreased by 10%, primarily due to higher asset levels, largely driven by the acquisition of

Navigators Group, and higher returns on limited partnerships and other alternative investments, partially offset by the impact of lower reinvestment rates. For further discussion of investment results, see MD&A - Investment Results, Net Investment Income.

Net realized capital gains of $89 in third quarter 2019 increased from third quarter 2018, with gains in 2019 primarily driven by net gains on sales of fixed maturity securities driven by duration and credit management trades and appreciation in value of equity securities due to higher equity market levels. For further discussion of investment results, see MD&A - Investment Results, Net Realized Capital Gains.

Other revenues for the three month period in 2019 included $14 of before tax income recognized on the 9.7% ownership interest in the legal entity that acquired the life and annuity business sold in May 2018.

Benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses increased primarily due to an increase in Commercial Lines, partially offset by a decrease in Personal Lines and Group Benefits. The increase in Commercial Lines was driven by the effect of losses on earned premium from the acquired Navigators Group business and less favorable prior accident reserve development, partially offset by lower current accident year catastrophes. The decrease in Personal Lines was primarily due to lower current accident year catastrophes and the effect of lower earned premium. Benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses for Group Benefits decreased, primarily due to a lower group disability loss ratio from lower claim incidence and higher claim terminations.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

~~Three~~Current accident year losses and loss adjustment expenses before catastrophes in Property & Casualty increased due to the effect of earned premium from the Navigators Group acquisition, partially offset by lower non-catastrophe property losses and the effect of lower earned premium in Personal Lines.

Current accident year catastrophe losses of $106, before tax, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, compared to $169, before tax, for the prior year period. Catastrophe losses in 2019 were primarily from tornado, wind and hail events in various areas of the Midwest and Mountain West as well as losses from hurricanes and tropical storms in the Southeast. Catastrophe losses in 2018 were primarily from hurricane Florence, wind and hail events in Colorado and wildfires in California and Colorado. For additional information, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance.

Net prior accident year reserve development in Property & Casualty was favorable by $47, before tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to favorable net reserve development of $60, before tax, for the prior year period. Prior accident year development in 2019 primarily included a decrease of reserves for workers' compensation, personal auto liability and package business, partially offset by an increase in reserves for commercial auto and general liability. Prior accident year development in 2018 primarily included reserve decreases in reserves for workers’ compensation, professional liability, auto liability and catastrophe reserves. For additional information, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costswas up from the prior year due to an increase in Commercial Lines, which was driven by the impact of the Navigators Group acquisition.

Insurance operating costs and other expenses increased due to operating costs incurred related to the Navigators Group acquisition, higher information technology costs across Commercial Lines, Personal Lines and Group Benefits, and higher commissions in Commercial Lines and Group Benefits. These increases were partially offset by lower incentive compensation and a decrease in Hartford Funds due to lower variable costs.

Loss on extinguishment of debtin the 2019 period arose from repayment before maturity of the Company’s $265 of 5.75% senior notes due 2023 that had been assumed in the Navigators Group acquisition, and its $800 of 5.125% senior notes due 2022 of the Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

Income tax expenseincreased due to an increase in income from continuing operations before tax. Differences between the Company's effective income tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% are due primarily to tax-exempt interest earned on invested assets, stock-based compensation and non-deductible executive compensation. For further discussion of income taxes, see Note 11 - Income Taxes of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Benefits, losses and loss adjustment expenses ~~decreased~~increased in Property & Casualty, partially offset by a decrease in Group ~~Benefits, partially offset~~Benefits. The increase for Property & Casualty was driven by an increase in ~~Property & Casualty.~~Commercial Lines, partially offset by a decrease in Personal Lines. The increase in Commercial Lines was principally due to the effect of losses on earned premium from the acquired Navigators Group business, an increase in Navigators Group reserves upon acquisition of the business, a higher current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio before catastrophes and less favorable prior accident year reserve development. The decrease in Personal Lines was primarily due to lower current accident year catastrophes, the effect of lower earned premium and, to a lesser extent, a lower current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio before catastrophes. The decrease in Group Benefits was largely due to a lower group disability loss ratio, including favorable prior incurral year ~~development and lower group life premium. The increase in incurred losses for Property & Casualty was driven by lower net favorable prior accident year reserve~~ development.

Current accident year losses and loss adjustment expenses before catastrophes in Property & Casualty ~~were flat, primarily resulting from~~increased due to the effect of higher earned premium in Commercial Lines, including the impact of the Navigators Group acquisition, and higher non-catastrophe property losses, partially offset by a lower personal auto liability and homeowners loss ratio and the effect of lower earned premium in Personal ~~Lines, offset by a higher workers' compensation loss ratio and the effect of higher earned premium in Commercial~~ Lines.

Current accident year catastrophe losses of ~~$104,~~$348, before tax, for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, compared to ~~$103,~~$460, before tax, for the prior year period. Catastrophe losses in 2019 were primarily from tornado, wind and hail events in the South, Midwest and Mountain West and winter storms across the country as well as from hurricanes and ~~to a lessor extent, tornado and hail events~~tropical storms in the ~~South.~~Southeast. Catastrophe losses in 2018 were primarily from multiple wind and hail events in Colorado, the Midwest, South and Mid-Atlantic, winter storms on the East Coast, ~~winter storms.~~hurricane Florence, and wildfires in California and Colorado. For additional information, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance.

Net prior accident year reserve development in Property & Casualty was a net favorable ~~$11,~~$23, before tax, for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, compared to favorable net reserve development of ~~$32,~~$139, before tax, for the prior year period. Prior accident year development in 2019 primarily included reserve decreases for workers’ compensation, catastrophes, and ~~auto liability,~~package business, partially offset by ~~reserve~~ increases in general liability and ~~package~~professional liability, including increases in Navigators Group reserves upon acquisition of the business. Prior accident year

development in 2018 primarily included a decrease in reserves for ~~workers'~~workers’ compensation and ~~homeowners claims.~~a decrease in catastrophe reserves for the 2017 hurricanes. For additional information, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs was up from the prior year period asprimarily due to an increase in Commercial Lines, ~~was~~including the impact from the Navigators Group acquisition, and to a lesser extent an increase in Group Benefits, partially offset by a decrease in Personal Lines.

Insurance operating costs and other expenses increased due to higher information technology and operations costs ~~in both~~across Commercial Lines, ~~and~~ Personal Lines and Group Benefits, an increase in direct marketing expenses in Personal Lines to generate new business growth and higher commissions in Commercial Lines ~~partially offset by a reduction in state taxes~~ and ~~assessments.~~Group Benefits as well as transaction costs and operating costs incurred related to the Navigators Group acquisition. The increase in Property & Casualty and Group Benefits was partially offset by ~~a decrease in Group Benefits, largely driven~~lower incentive compensation and by ~~a reduction in state taxes and assessments and~~ a decrease in Hartford Funds due to lower variable costs.

Interest expensedecreased due to a reduction in outstanding debt.

Amortization of other intangible assets decreased due to lower amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Aetna's U.S. group life and disability ~~business, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of intangibles arising from the renewal rights agreement for Foremost-branded small commercial~~ business.

Income tax expense increased primarily due to an increase in income from continuing operations before ~~tax income.~~tax. Differences between the Company's effective income tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% are due primarily to tax-exempt interest earned on invested assets, stock-based compensation and non-deductible executive compensation.

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

Total net investment income for the three month period in 2019 compared to 2018 increased primarily due to higher ~~invested~~ asset levels, ~~average reinvestment rates higher than~~largely driven by the ~~sales/maturity yield during the past year,~~acquisition of Navigators Group, and higher ~~short-term interest rates, partially offset by lower income from~~returns on limited partnerships and other alternative investments, partially offset by lower reinvestment

rates. Total net investment income for the nine month period in 2019 compared to 2018 increased primarily due to higher asset levels, largely driven by the acquisition of Navigators Group, higher returns on limited partnerships and other alternative investments, higher average short-term interest rates and higher returns on equity investments.

Annualized net investment income yield, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, ~~and non-routine items, which primarily include prepayment penalties on mortgage loans and prepayment speed adjustments~~

~~on fixed maturities,~~ was ~~3.7%~~3.6% for the three month period in 2019, updown from ~~3.6%~~3.7% for the same period ~~for 2018.~~

~~Average reinvestment rate~~ ~~for the 2019 three month period, excluding certain U.S. Treasury securities and cash equivalent securities, was approximately 4.1% which was~~ in ~~line with the average yield of sales and maturities of 4.1% for the same period. For the 2019 three month period, the average reinvestment rate of 4.1% increased from 3.8% for the~~ 2018 ~~three month period,~~ due to ~~wider credit spreads and the impact of higher short-term interest rates on variable rate securities.~~

~~We expect the annualized~~lower reinvestment rates. Annualized net investment income yield, ~~for the 2019 calendar year,~~ excluding limited ~~partnerships and other alternative investments, to approximate the portfolio yield~~

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

partnerships and other alternative investments, was 3.7% for the nine month period in 2019, consistent with the same period in 2018.

Average reinvestment rates on fixed maturities and mortgage loans, excluding certain U.S. Treasury securities and cash equivalent securities, for the 2019 three and nine month periods were 3.1% and 3.5%, respectively, which were below the average yield of sales and maturities of 4.1% and 4.0%, respectively, due to lower interest rates and maturities of higher yielding tax-exempt municipals. Average reinvestment rate for

the 2018 three and nine month periods was 4.0% which was higher than the average yield of sales and maturities of 3.8% and 3.6%, respectively, due to higher interest rates.

Despite the decline in reinvestment rates in 2019, we expect the annualized net investment income yield for the 2019 calendar year, excluding limited partnerships and other alternative investments, to approximate the portfolio yield earned in 2018. The estimated impact on net investment income yield is subject to change as the composition of the portfolio changes through portfolio management and changes in market conditions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and

expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ, and in the past have differed, from those estimates.

The Company has identified the following estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:

property and casualty insurance product reserves, net of reinsurance;

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

group benefit long-term disability (LTD) reserves, net of reinsurance;

evaluation of goodwill for impairment;

valuation of investments and derivative instruments including evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities and valuation allowances on mortgage loans;

valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; and

contingencies relating to corporate litigation and regulatory matters.

Certain of these estimates are particularly sensitive to market conditions, and deterioration and/or volatility in the worldwide debt or equity markets could have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In developing these estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change as facts and circumstances develop. Although variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are appropriate based upon the facts available upon compilation of the financial statements.

The Company’s critical accounting estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7 MD&A in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report. In addition, Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this section to assist with obtaining an understanding of the underlying accounting

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

policies related to these estimates. The following discussion updates certain of the Company’s critical accounting estimates as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance

P&C Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense ("LAE") Reserves of ~~$20,402,~~$22,814, Net of Reinsurance, by Segment as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019

Based on the results of the quarterly reserve review process, the Company determines the appropriate reserve adjustments, if any, to record. Recorded reserve estimates are adjusted after consideration of numerous factors, including but not limited to, the magnitude of the difference between the actuarial indication and the recorded reserves, improvement or deterioration of actuarial indications in the period, the maturity of the accident year, trends observed over the recent past and the level of volatility within a particular line of business. In general, adjustments are made more quickly to more mature accident years and less volatile lines of business. Such adjustments of reserves are referred to as “prior accident year development”. Increases in previous estimates of ultimate loss costs are referred to as either an increase in prior accident year reserves or as unfavorable reserve development. Decreases in previous estimates of ultimate loss costs are referred to as either a decrease in prior accident year reserves or as favorable reserve development. Reserve development can influence the comparability of year over year underwriting results and is set forth in the paragraphs and tables that follow.

be entitled to settlement payments. Based on reserve estimates submitted with the subrogation request, the amount our subsidiaries could collect from PG&E, if any, would be approximately $325 but could be more or less than that amount depending on how the Company’s ultimate paid claims subject to subrogation compare to other insurers’ ultimate paid claims subject to subrogation. Approval of the Plan and amount of the Company’s ultimate subrogation recoveries from PG&E are subject to uncertainty. This includes, among other things, uncertainty regarding liabilities for current or future wildfires caused or allegedly caused by PG&E, the value of recoveries by

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

other creditors and PG&E’s ability to secure funds to pay its creditors.

Given the uncertainty, the Company has not recognized a benefit from potential subrogation from PG&E and will evaluate in future periods when more information becomes known. In connection with the 2018 Camp wildfire, the Company has recognized a $32 reinsurance recoverable for losses incurred in excess of a $350 per occurrence retention. Under its 2018 property aggregate catastrophe treaty, the Company has recognized a reinsurance

recoverable for aggregate catastrophe losses in excess of an $825 retention, with the recoverable currently estimated at $84. As such, the first $116 of subrogation recoveries would be offset by a $116 reduction in these reinsurance recoverables resulting in no net benefit to income. No changes have been made in 2019 to estimated incurred losses from the 2017 or 2018 wildfires.

Marine reserveswere increased, principally related to pollution exposure from the 1980s and 1990s related to the Navigators Group book of business.

Package business reserves were decreased, primarily due to favorable emergence on property claims related to accident years 2016 through 2018 and due to favorable

development of allocated loss adjustment expenses on general liability claims for 2017 and prior accident years.

Professional liability reserveswere increased, primarily due to large loss activity, including wrongful termination and discrimination claims, in accident years 2017 and 2018 and increased estimated frequency and severity of directors’ and officers’ reserves on the Navigators Group book of business, principally for the 2014 to 2018 accident ~~year property claims.~~years.

Catastrophes reserves were reduced, primarily as a result of lower estimated net losses from 2017 hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

~~The Company classifies its A&E reserves into two categories: Direct and Assumed Reinsurance.~~


•	~~Direct Insurance-~~ ~~includes primary and excess coverage. Of the two categories of claims, direct policies tend to have the greatest factual development from which to estimate the Company’s exposures.~~

•

~~Assumed Reinsurance-~~ includes both “treaty” reinsurance (covering broad categories of claims or blocks of business) and “facultative” reinsurance (covering specific risks or individual policies of primary or excess insurance companies). Assumed reinsurance exposures are less predictable than direct insurance exposures because the Company does not generally receive notice of a reinsurance claim until the underlying direct insurance claim is mature. This causes a delay in the receipt of information at the reinsurer level and adds to the uncertainty of estimating related reserves.

~~Adverse Development Cover~~

Effective December 31, 2016, the Company entered into an A&E ADC reinsurance agreement with NICO, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., to reduce uncertainty about potential adverse development. Under the ADC, the Company paid a reinsurance premium of $650 for NICO to assume adverse net loss and allocated loss adjustment expense reserve development up to $1.5 billion above the Company’s existing net A&E reserves as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion. The $650 reinsurance premium was placed resulting in a ~~collateral trust account as security for NICO’s claim payment obligations to the Company. The Company has retained the risk~~decrease in reinsurance recoverables of collection on amounts due from other third-party reinsurers and continues to be responsible for claims handling and other administrative services, subject to certain conditions. The ADC covers substantially all the Company’s A&E reserve development up to the reinsurance limit.

Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, net adverse A&E reserve development after December 31, 2016, will result in an offsetting reinsurance recoverable up to the $1.5 billion limit. Cumulative ceded losses up to the $650 reinsurance premium paid are recognized as a dollar-for-dollar offset to net losses incurred before ceding to the ADC. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding the $650 reinsurance premium paid would result in a deferred gain. The deferred gain would be recognized over the claim settlement period in the proportion of the amount of cumulative ceded losses collected from the reinsurer to the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries. ~~Consequently, until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings, cumulative adverse development of A&E claims after December 31, 2016 in excess of~~ ~~$650~~ ~~may result in significant charges against earnings.~~

~~As of~~ ~~March 31, 2019, the Company has incurred a cumulative $523 in adverse development on A&E reserves that have been ceded under the ADC treaty with NICO,~~ ~~leaving approximately $977 of coverage available for future adverse net reserve development, if any.~~

~~Net and Gross Survival Ratios~~

Net and gross survival ratios are a measure of the quotient of the carried reserves divided by average annual payments (net of reinsurance and on a gross basis) and is an indication of the number of years that carried reserves would last (i.e. survive) if

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

~~future annual payments were consistent with the calculated historical average.~~

The survival ratios shown below are calculated for the one and three year periods ended March 31, 2019. The net basis survival ratio has been materially affected by the ADC entered into between the Company and NICO~~. The Company cedes adverse A&E development in excess of its December 31, 2016 net carried reserves of~~ ~~$1.7 billion~~ ~~to NICO up to a limit of~~ ~~$1.5 billion. Since December 31, 2016, net reserves for A&E have been declining~~$90 as the Company ~~has had~~ no ~~net incurred~~longer expects to recover under the 2017 Property Aggregate reinsurance treaty as aggregate ultimate losses ~~but continues~~for 2017 catastrophe events are now projected to ~~pay down net loss reserves. This has the effect of reducing the one- and three-year net survival ratios shown in the table below.~~ For asbestos, the table also presents the three-year net survival ratios excluding the effect of the PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG") settlement in 2016. For further discussion of the PPG settlement, see Part II, Item 7 MD&A, Critical Accounting Estimates, Annual Reserves Reviews section in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.be less than $850.

~~Annual Reserve Reviews~~

~~Review of Asbestos Reserves~~

~~In 2019, the Company expects~~ were increased due to ~~perform its regular comprehensive annual review of asbestos reserves in the fourth quarter.~~

~~As part of its evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company reviewed all of its open direct domestic insurance accounts exposed~~lower anticipated recoveries related to asbestos liability, as well as assumed reinsurance accounts. Based on this evaluation, the Company increased its net asbestos reserves for prior year development by $167 in the fourth quarter of 2018 which was offset by $167 of ceded losses under the ADC agreement.

~~Review of Environmental Reserves~~

~~In 2019, the Company expects to perform its regular comprehensive annual review of environmental reserves in the fourth quarter.~~

As part of its evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company reviewed all of its open direct domestic insurance accounts exposed to environmental liability, as well as assumed reinsurance accounts. Based on this evaluation, the Company increased its net environmental reserves for prior year development by $71 in the fourth quarter 2018 which was offset by $71 of ceded losses under the ADC agreement.

~~2018 Reserve Reviews~~

For a discussion of the Company's 2018 comprehensive annual review of A&E reserves, see Part II, Item 7 MD&A, Critical Accounting Estimates, Annual Reserves Reviews section in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

older accident years.~~Uncertainties Regarding Adequacy of Asbestos and Environmental Reserves~~

A number of factors affect the variability of estimates for A&E reserves before considering the effect of the reinsurance agreement with NICO, including assumptions with respect to the frequency of claims, the average severity of those claims settled with payment, the dismissal rate of claims with no payment, resolution of coverage disputes with our policyholders and the expense to indemnity ratio. The uncertainty with respect to the underlying reserve assumptions for A&E adds a greater degree of variability to these reserve estimates than reserve estimates for more traditional exposures.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company reported $1.0 billion of net asbestos reserves and $196 of net environmental reserves. The Company believes that its current A&E reserves are appropriate. However, analyses of future developments could cause The Hartford to change its estimates of its A&E reserves. As discussed above, the effect of these changes could be material to the Company's liquidity and, if cumulative adverse development subsequent to December 31, 2016 exceeded $650, the effect of the changes could be material to the Company's consolidated operating results. The process of estimating A&E reserves remains subject to a wide variety of uncertainties, which are detailed in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

Consistent with the Company's long-standing reserve practices, the Company will continue to review and monitor its reserves in Property & Casualty Other Operations regularly, including its annual reviews of asbestos liabilities, reinsurance recoverables and the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, and environmental liabilities, and where future developments indicate, make appropriate adjustments to the reserves. For a discussion of the Company's reserving practices, see MD&A - Critical Accounting Estimates, Property & Casualty Insurance Product Reserves, Net of Reinsurance in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

Net income increased infor the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to ~~a shift from~~higher net ~~realized capital losses in 2018 to~~investment income, higher net realized capital gains and a higher underwriting gain.

Net incomedecreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to$91 before tax of ADC ceded premium and a lower underwriting gain, primarily due to $97 before tax of reserve increases upon the acquisition of Navigators Group and a decrease in ~~2019,~~net favorable prior accident year development for other reserves, partially offset by ~~a lower underwriting gain.~~higher net investment income and higher net realized capital gains.

Contributing to the increase in net investment income for both the three and nine month periods was income on invested assets acquired from Navigators Group and higher income from limited

Underwriting Gain

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

Underwriting gain increased in the three month period due to lower current accident year catastrophes, a lower current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio before catastrophes, excluding Navigators Group, and the effect of higher earned premium, excluding Navigators Group, partially offset by less favorable prior accident year development.

Underwriting gaindecreased in ~~2019~~the nine month period, primarily due to $97 before tax of increases to Navigators reserves upon acquisition of the business, less favorable prior accident year reserve development unrelated to the Navigators Group acquisition, a higher current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio before catastrophes, and higher ~~underwriting~~ expenses, ~~including higher amortization of DAC, and less favorable prior accident year reserve development in 2019 compared to 2018,~~ partially offset by the effect of higher earned ~~premium. The~~premium, excluding Navigators Group. Higher commissions contributed to the increase in amortization of DAC. Contributing to the increase in underwriting expenses ~~included~~was the effect of higher information technology and operations costs in middle market as well as higher operations and other costs ~~and costs~~in small commercial associated with the ~~business acquired under a~~2018 renewal rights agreement with Farmers Group to acquire its Foremost-branded small commercial business, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.

For both the three and nine month periods, the acquisition of Navigators Group contributed to the increase in earned premiums with a ~~reduction~~corresponding increase to losses and loss adjustment expenses, amortization of DAC and underwriting expenses. Apart from the effect of the Navigators Group acquisition, earned premiums increased in ~~state taxes~~small commercial and ~~assessments.~~in middle and large commercial.

Earned Premiums

Earned premiumsincreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflecting written premium growth over the preceding twelve months.

Written premiumsincreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 with growth in middle & large commercial, and global specialty, including growth from the acquisition of Navigators Group and, for the nine month period only, growth in small commercial. In standard commercial lines, renewal written price increases declined slightly for the nine month period in 2019, mostly attributable to larger rate decreases in small commercial workers' compensation, partially offset by higher written pricing in property and general liability, and improved for the three month period due to higher written pricing increases in property and general liability and lower written pricing decreases in workers' compensation. New business premium in small commercial and middle market

~~Three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018~~

~~Earned premiumsincreased in 2019 reflecting written premium growth over the preceding twelve months.~~

~~Written premiums~~increased in 2019 with growth across small commercial, middle market, and specialty commercial. In standard commercial lines, renewal written price increases declined in 2019, mostly attributable to larger rate decreases in small commercial workers' compensation. New business premium increased over the prior year ~~period, primarily~~ in ~~small commercial.~~

~~Small commercial written premium increased in 2019, primarily driven by~~both the ~~business acquired under a renewal rights agreement~~three and nine month periods, with ~~Farmers Group to acquire its Foremost-branded small commercial business and higher policy count retention partially offset by a decline~~increases in workers' ~~compensation premium, mainly driven by renewal written price decreases compared to the prior year quarter.~~

~~Middle market written premium growth in 2019 was primarily due to higher renewal premium in all core lines, as well as~~

~~Specialty commercial written premium increased in 2019 driven by growth in bond and financial products.~~


•	Small commercial written premium was flat for the three month period and increased for the nine month period. The increase for the nine month period was primarily driven by the business acquired under a 2018 renewal rights agreement with Farmers Group to acquire its Foremost-branded small commercial business.

•

Middle & large commercial written premium growth for both the three and nine month periods was primarily due to new business growth and higher renewal premium in core middle market lines, as well as growth in certain industry verticals, including construction, energy, large property and specialty programs. The increase in renewal premium was due to renewal written price increases and higher audit premium.


•	Global specialty written premium increased for both the three and nine month periods driven by the acquisition of Navigators as well as growth in financial products and bond.

Loss and LAE Ratio before Catastrophes and Prior Accident Year Development

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

Loss and LAE ratio before catastrophes and prior accident year development increased infor the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a higher loss and loss adjustment expense ratio ~~in workers' compensation as well as~~on the acquired Navigators Group business, partially offset by lower non-catastrophe property losses.

Loss and LAE ratio before catastrophes and prior accident year developmentincreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a higher loss and loss adjustment expense ratio on the acquired Navigators Group business and higher non-catastrophe property losses in middle market ~~marine~~inland marine.

Included in current accident year loss and ~~property.~~loss adjustment expenses before catastrophes for the nine month period was a $29 increase in current accident year Navigators reserves upon acquisition of the business in May 2019, which was driven primarily by increased loss estimates for general liability, international professional liability and assumed reinsurance accident and health business.

Current Accident Year Catastrophes and Unfavorable (Favorable) Prior Accident Year Development

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018

Current accident year catastrophe lossestotaled $74, before tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $95, before tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Current accident year catastrophe losses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily related to wind and hail events in various areas of the Midwest and Mountain West as well as from hurricane Dorian and tropical storm Imelda. Current accident year catastrophe losses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were primarily due to wind and hail events in Colorado and hurricane Florence.

Current accident year catastrophe lossestotaled $234, before tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $238 before tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Current accident year catastrophe losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily from winter storms in the northern plains, Midwest and Northeast as well as tornado, wind and hail events in various areas of the Midwest, Mountain West and South. Current accident year catastrophe losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were primarily due to multiple wind and hail events in Colorado, the Midwest, South and Mid-Atlantic and hurricane Florence as well as winter storms on the east coast.

Prior accident year developmentwas a net favorable $19 for the three month period in 2019, compared with $53 of net favorable prior accident year development for the three month period in 2018 and was a net favorable $7 for the

~~Current accident year catastrophe lossestotaled $70, before tax,~~September 30, 2018. Net reserve decreases for the three month period in 2019 compared to $69, before tax, for the three month period in 2018. Current accident year catastrophe losses for 2019 were primarily from winter storms in the northern plains, midwest and northeast. Current accident year catastrophe losses for 2018 were primarily from winter storms on the east coast.

~~Prior accident year developmentwas a net favorable $10 for the three month period in 2019, compared with $19 of net favorable prior accident year development for the three month period in 2018. Net reserve decreases for~~ 2019 were primarily related to lower loss reserve estimates for workers' compensation claims and ~~catastrophes,~~package business reserves, partially offset by ~~reserve~~ increases in reserves for ~~general~~auto liability and ~~package business.~~general liability. Net reserve decreases for ~~2018~~the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily related to lower loss reserve estimates for workers' ~~compensation.~~compensation claims, catastrophes and package business reserves, largely offset by a $68 before tax increase to Navigators reserves upon acquisition of the business and increases in reserves for auto liability and general liability. The increase in Navigators reserves upon acquisition of the business principally

related to higher reserve estimates for general liability, professional liability and marine.

Net reserve decreases for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were primarily related to decreases in reserves for workers' compensation, professional liability and the 2017 hurricanes. Net reserve decreases for the nine month 2018 period were primarily related to decreases for workers' compensation and catastrophe reserves. Estimated losses for 2017 catastrophe events in Commercial Lines decreased by $93 in the nine month 2018 period resulting in a decrease in reinsurance recoverables of $43 as the Company no longer expects to recover under the 2017 Property Aggregate reinsurance treaty.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

in 2019 primarily due to lower current accident year catastrophes and lower current accident year loss ratios before catastrophes in both auto and homeowners partially offset by the effect of lower earned premium and an increase in underwriting expenses. For the nine month period, the increase in underwriting expenses was largely driven by investments in information technology, and an increase in direct marketing spending, selling expenses, and operational costs to generate new business, partially offset by a reduction in state taxes and ~~assessments.~~assessments and lower incentive compensation. The decrease in amortization of DAC for both the three and nine month periods was commensurate with the reduction in earned premium.

Earned Premiums

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

Earned premiums decreased in 2019, reflecting a decline in written premium over the prior six to twelve months in both Agency channels and ~~to a lesser extent,~~ in AARP Direct.

Written premiums decreased in 2019 in AARP Direct and both Agency channels. Despite an increase in new business and higher policy count retention in both auto and homeowners, written premium declined, primarily due to not generating enough new business to offset the loss of non-renewed premium.

Renewal written pricing increases in 2019 were lower in both auto and homeowners in response to moderating loss cost trends.

Policy count retention increased in both automobile and homeowners, in part driven by moderating renewal written price increases.

Policies in-force decreased in 2019 in both automobile and homeowners, driven by not generating enough new business to offset the loss of non-renewed policies.

Loss and LAE Ratio before Catastrophes and Prior Accident Year Development

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

Loss and LAE ratio before catastrophes and prior accident year development decreased in both the ~~2019, primarily~~three and nine month periods. For auto in the three month period, a modest increase in loss costs was offset by the effect of earned pricing increases. For auto in the nine month period, a decrease in the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was due to the effect of earned pricing increases and a slight decrease in average claim frequency, partially offset by a modest increase in average claim severity. For home in both ~~automobile~~the three and ~~homeowners and~~nine month periods, the primary drivers were the effect of earned pricing increases as well as lower non-catastrophe ~~homeowners~~ loss costs.

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

Current accident year catastrophe losses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily from wind and hail events in the Midwest and Mountain West and losses from hurricane Dorian and tropical storm Imelda. Catastrophe losses for three months ended September 30, 2018 were from catastrophe events across the country, principally wildfires in California and Colorado, wind and hail storms in Colorado and wind storms in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Catastrophe losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily included winter storms across the country and ~~to a lesser extent,~~ tornado, ~~and hail events in the South.

Net Income

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018

Net Income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in net unfavorable prior accident year development and, for the nine month period, an increase in net realized capital gains.

Underwriting lossdecreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in unfavorable prior accident year development. Net unfavorable prior accident year reserve development in the 2019 nine month period included reserve increases for product liability and construction defects claims. Net unfavorable prior accident year reserve development in the 2018 nine month period included reserve increases for certain mass torts and the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance.

Net Income

Three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2018

Net incomeincreased for the three and nine-month periods primarily due to a lower loss ratio, a change from net realized capital losses to net realized capital gains and $14 of additional tax expense in the 2018 period that was primarily driven by the effect of the lower rate on deferred tax assets due to the filing of the Company's 2017 Federal income tax return and finalization of the opening balance sheet for the Aetna Group Benefits acquisition. Also contributing to the increase for the nine month period was lower amortization of other intangible assets. Partially offsetting the increase in both the three and nine-month periods was higher insurance operating costs and expenses.

Insurance operating costs and other expensesfor the three month and nine month period increased due to higher commissions on our voluntary product offerings and investments in technology and claims operations, partially offset by achievements of expense synergies, and, for the nine month period, lower state taxes and assessments.

Fully Insured Ongoing Premiums

[1] Other of $60 and $64 is included in the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2019, respectively, and $179 and $187 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2018, and 2019, respectively is included in the total.

Three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2018

Fully insured ongoing premiums decreased slightly for the three month period reflecting a decrease in group life partially offset by an increase in group disability. For the nine month period, premium was relatively flat as the increase in group disability and the higher premium from Voluntary products was largely offset by a decrease in group life.

Fully insured ongoing sales, excluding buyouts for the three month period decreased 29% driven primarily by a decrease in both group disability and group life sales. For the nine month period, sales decreased 10% as the prior year included first year sales from the new New York Paid Family Leave product and group life sales decreased.

Ratios

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018

Total lossratio decreased 4.4 points for the three month

period and 2.7 points for the nine month period reflecting a lower disability loss ratio partially offset by a higher group life loss ratio.

The group disability loss ratio decreased 11.5 points and 6.0 points for the three and nine month period, respectively, due to continued favorable incidence trends and strong claim recoveries on prior incurral year reserves. In addition, included in the disability loss ratio for the three and nine month periods were favorable changes in long term disability reserve assumptions of 2.7 points and 0.9 points, respectively, largely driven from updating our claim recovery probabilities due to more recent experience, and an experience refund from prior year related to the New York Paid Family Leave product of 1.1 points and 0.4 points, respectively.

The group life loss ratio increased 4.2 points and 1.7 points in the three and nine month periods, respectively, due to increased life losses largely due to higher severity.

Expense ratio increased 1.0 point for the three month period and 0.2 points in the nine month period due to higher commissions on our voluntary product offerings, and investments in technology and claims, and higher amortization of DAC in both periods, partially offset by achievements of expense synergies, lower variable incentive compensation, and in the nine month period, lower state taxes and assessments.

Net Income (Loss)

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

Net ~~income~~Loss ~~declined~~for the three month period increased primarily due to a ~~decrease in~~$90 loss on extinguishment of debt related to the third quarter 2019 repayment of senior notes before their maturity date. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as the 2018 nine month period included income from discontinued operations ~~as a result of the sale of~~related to the life and annuity business sold in May ~~2018. The~~2018 and the 2019 nine month period included the $90 loss on extinguishment of debt.

Excluding the loss on extinguishment of debt, the loss from continuing operations, net of tax, decreased ~~primarily~~for both the three month and nine month periods. The three month period improved largely due to ~~$28 included in 2019~~ other revenues of $14 from earnings on the Company's retained equity interest in the former life and annuity operations, ~~as well as higher~~partially offset by a decrease in net investment income driven by lower average invested assets due to the ~~reinvestment~~acquisition of the ~~proceeds~~Navigators Group in May 2019. The nine month period improved due, in part, to other revenues of $45 from earnings on the ~~sale of the life and annuity business and an increase in short-term~~Company's retained equity interest, ~~rates,~~ lower interest expense and ~~an increase in~~higher net realized capital ~~gains.~~gains, partially

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

offset by transaction costs related to the Navigators Group acquisition. Net investment income increased for the nine month period due to an increase in short term interest rates as well as the reinvestment of the proceeds from the sale of the life and annuity business sold in May 2018 until the acquisition of the Navigators Group in May 2019.

Interest Expense

Three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the Company's $320 of 6.3% notes at maturity. On June 15, 2018, The Hartford redeemed $500 aggregate principal amount of its 8.125% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2068.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility for risk oversight, as described more fully in our Proxy Statement, while management is tasked with the day-to-day management of the Company’s risks.

The Company manages and monitors risk through risk policies, controls and limits. At the senior management level, an Enterprise Risk and Capital Committee (“ERCC”) oversees the risk profile and risk management practices of the Company.

The Company's enterprise risk management ("ERM") function supports the ERCC and functional committees, and is tasked with, among other things:

risk identification and assessment;

the development of risk appetites, tolerances, and limits;

risk monitoring; and

internal and external risk reporting.

The Company categorizes its main risks as insurance risk, operational risk and financial risk. Insurance risk and financial risk are described in more detail below. Operational risk and specific risk tolerances for natural catastrophes and pandemic risk are described in the ERM section of the MD&A in The Hartford’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

Insurance Risk

The Company categorizes its insurance risks across ~~property-~~

~~casualty~~property-casualty and group benefits products. Non-catastrophe insurance risk arises from a number of exposures including property, liability, mortality, morbidity, disability and longevity.

Catastrophe risk primarily arises in the property, automobile, workers' compensation, casualty, group life, and group disability ~~and workers' compensation product lines.~~lines of business. The Company establishes risk limits to control potential loss and actively monitors the risk exposures as a percent of statutory surplus. The Company also uses reinsurance to transfer insurance risk to well-established and financially secure reinsurers.

Reinsurance as a Risk Management Strategy

The Company uses reinsurance to transfer certain risks to reinsurance companies based on specific geographic or risk concentrations. A variety of traditional reinsurance products are used as part of the Company's risk management strategy, including excess of loss occurrence-based products that reinsure property and workers' compensation exposures, and individual risk (including facultative reinsurance) or quota share arrangements, that reinsure losses from specific classes or lines of business. The Company has no significant finite risk contracts in place and the statutory surplus benefit from all such prior year contracts is immaterial. The Hartford also participates in governmentally administered reinsurance facilities such as the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (“TRIPRA”) and other reinsurance programs relating to particular risks or specific lines of business.

Reinsurance for Catastrophes- The Company ~~has catastrophe~~utilizes various reinsurance programs to mitigate catastrophe losses including ~~reinsurance~~excess of loss occurrence-based treaties ~~that cover~~covering property and ~~workers'~~workers’ compensation, aggregate property catastrophe treaty providing protection for the aggregate of all catastrophe events designated by Property Claims Services and individual risk (including facultative reinsurance) that reinsure losses ~~aggregating~~ from ~~single~~specific classes or lines of business.

[1]	Navigators Group catastrophe exposures are not covered by these treaties. For 2019, Navigators Group treaties in-force at the time of the acquisition remain in-force. For additional information on business acquisitions see Note 2 - Business Acquisition in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

[2]

In addition to the Property Occurrence Treaty and Additional Property Occurrence Treaty for Florida events, The Hartford has purchased the mandatory FHCF reinsurance for the period from 6/1/~~2018~~2019 to 5/30/~~2019.~~2020. Retention and coverage varies by writing company. The writing company with the largest coverage under FHCF is Hartford Insurance Company of the Midwest, with coverage for approximately $84 of per event losses in excess of a $29 retention.


[2]3]	Portions of this layer of coverage extend beyond the traditional one year term.

[3]4]

The aggregate treaty is not limited to a single event; rather, it is designed to provide reinsurance protection for the aggregate of all events designated as catastrophes by PCS (Property Claims Services/Verisk) with a $350 limit on any one event. All catastrophe losses apply toward satisfying the $775 attachment point under the aggregate treaty regardless of whether a portion of per event losses up to $350 are recovered under the Additional Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty.


[4]5]	In addition to the limits shown, the workers' compensation reinsurance includes a non-catastrophe, industrial accident layer, providing coverage for 80% of $30 in per event losses in excess of a $20 retention.


[5]6]	The Additional Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty covers losses from catastrophe events other than from named hurricanes, tropical storms and earthquakes.

In addition to the property catastrophe reinsurance coverage described in the above table, the Company has other reinsurance agreements that cover property catastrophe losses. The Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty, Additional Per Occurrence Property Catastrophe Treaty and Workers' Compensation Catastrophe Treaty include a provision to reinstate limits in the event that a catastrophe loss exhausts limits on one or more layers under the treaties.

Reinsurance for Terrorism- For the risk of terrorism, private sector catastrophe reinsurance capacity is generally limited and largely unavailable for terrorism losses caused by nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attacks. As such, the Company's principal reinsurance protection against large-scale terrorist attacks is the coverage currently provided through TRIPRA to the end of 2020.

TRIPRA provides a backstop for insurance-related losses resulting from any “act of terrorism”, which is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General, for losses that exceed a threshold of industry losses of $180 billion in 2019, with the threshold increasing to $200 billion by 2020. Under the program, in any one calendar year, the federal government would pay a percentage of losses incurred from a certified act of terrorism after an insurer's losses exceed 20% of the Company's

eligible direct commercial earned premiums of the prior calendar year up to a combined annual aggregate limit for the federal government

and all insurers of $100 billion. The percentage of losses paid by the federal government is 81% in 2019, decreasing to 80% in 2020. The Company's estimated deductible under the program is $1.3 billion for 2019. If an act of terrorism or acts of terrorism result in covered losses exceeding the $100 billion annual industry aggregate limit, Congress would be responsible for determining how additional losses in excess of $100 billion will be paid.

Reinsurance for A&E Reserve Development- Under an ADC reinsurance agreement, NICO assumes adverse net loss and allocated loss adjustment expense reserve development up to $1.5 billion above the Company’s net A&E reserves recorded as of December 31, ~~2016.~~2016, including reserves for A&E exposure for accident years prior to 1986 that are reported in Property & Casualty Other Operations ("Run-off A&E") and reserves for A&E exposure for accident years 1986 and subsequent from policies underwritten prior to 2016 that are reported in ongoing Commercial Lines and Personal Lines. Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, net adverse A&E reserve development after December 31, 2016 results in an offsetting reinsurance recoverable up to the $1.5 billion limit. Cumulative ceded losses up to the $650 reinsurance premium paid for the ADC are recognized as a dollar-for-dollar offset to direct losses incurred.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, ~~$523~~$523 of incurred A&E losses had been ceded to NICO, leaving approximately $977 of coverage available for future adverse net reserve development, if any. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding the $650 reinsurance premium paid would result in a deferred gain. The deferred gain would be recognized over the claim settlement period in the proportion of the amount of cumulative ceded losses collected from the reinsurer to the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries. Consequently, until periods

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings, cumulative adverse development of A&E claims after December 31, 2016 in excess of $650 may result in significant charges against earnings. Furthermore, there is a risk that cumulative adverse development of A&E claims could ultimately exceed the $1.5 billion treaty limit in which case all adverse development in excess of the treaty limit would be absorbed as a charge to earnings by the Company. In these scenarios, the effect of these charges could be material to the Company’s consolidated operating results and liquidity.

Reinsurance for Navigators Reserve Development- Immediately after closing on the acquisition of Navigators Group, effective May 23, 2019, the Company purchased an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement covering adverse reserve development (“Navigators ADC”) from NICO on behalf of Navigators Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Navigators Insurers”). Under the Navigators ADC, the Navigators Insurers paid NICO a reinsurance premium of $91 in exchange for reinsurance coverage of $300 of adverse net loss reserve development that attaches $100 above the Navigators Insurers' existing net loss and allocated loss adjustment reserves as of December 31, 2018 subject to the

treaty of $1.816 billion for accidents and losses prior to December 31, 2018. In addition to recognizing a $91 before tax charge to earnings in the second quarter of 2019 for the Navigators ADC reinsurance premium, the Company recognized a charge against earnings of $97 before tax in the second quarter of 2019 as a result of a review of Navigators Insurers’ net acquired reserves upon acquisition of the business. Navigators Insurers had previously recognized $52 before tax of adverse reserve development in the first quarter of 2019, including $32 of adverse development subject to the Navigators ADC. As such, reserve development of $97 before tax in the second quarter of 2019 included $68 remaining of the $100 Navigators ADC retention for 2018 and prior accident years and $29 of adverse reserve development related to the 2019 accident year which is not covered by the ADC. The $68 of reserve development for the 2018 and prior accident years recorded in the second quarter of 2019 was net of a $91 reinsurance recoverable recognized under the Navigators ADC with the Company having ceded $91 of the $300 available limit, leaving $209 of remaining limit. There was no additional net adverse development subject to the Navigators ADC in the third quarter. The Navigators ADC will be accounted for as retroactive reinsurance and future adverse reserve development, if any, would result in recognizing a deferred gain.

Financial Risk

Financial risks include direct and indirect risks to the Company's financial objectives ~~coming~~ from events that impact financial market conditions ~~or prices.~~and the value of financial assets. Some events may

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

cause correlated movement in multiple risk factors. The primary sources of financial risks are the Company's invested assets.

Consistent with its risk appetite, the Company establishes financial risk limits to control potential loss on a U.S. GAAP, statutory, and economic basis. Exposures are actively monitored and managed, with risks mitigated where appropriate. The Company uses various risk management strategies, including ~~reinsurance~~limiting aggregation of risk, portfolio re-balancing and hedging with over-the-counter ~~("OTC")~~ and ~~exchange traded~~exchange-traded derivatives with counterparties meeting the appropriate regulatory and due diligence requirements. Derivatives are utilized to achieve one of four Company-approved objectives: hedging risk arising from interest rate, equity market, commodity market, credit spread and issuer default, price or currency exchange rate risk or volatility; managing liquidity; controlling transaction costs; or entering into synthetic replication transactions. Derivative activities are monitored and evaluated by the Company’s compliance and risk management teams and reviewed by senior management.

The Company identifies different categories of financial risk, including liquidity, credit, interest rate, equity and foreign currency exchange.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk to current or prospective earnings or capital arising from the Company's inability or perceived inability to meet its contractual funding obligations as they come due. Stressed market conditions may impact the ability to sell assets or otherwise transact business and may result in a significant loss in value.

The Company measures and manages liquidity risk exposures and funding needs within prescribed limits across legal entities, taking into account legal, regulatory and operational limitations to the transferability ~~of liquid assets.~~liquidity. The Company also monitors internal and external conditions, and identifies material risk changes and emerging risks that may impact ~~liquidity.~~operating cash flows or liquid assets.

For further discussion on liquidity see the section on Capital Resources and Liquidity.

Credit Risk and Counterparty Risk

Credit risk is the risk to earnings or capital due to uncertainty of an obligor’s or counterparty’s ability or willingness to meet its obligations in accordance with contractually agreed upon terms.

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

Credit risk is comprised of three major factors: the risk of change in credit quality, or credit migration risk; the risk of default; and the risk of a change in value due to changes in credit spreads.

Sources of Credit Risk The majority of the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in its investment holdings and use of derivatives, but it is also present in the Company’s ceded reinsurance activities and various insurance ~~portfolios.~~products.

Impact A decline in creditworthiness is typically ~~associated with~~reflected as an increase in an investment’s credit spread and associated decline in value, potentially resulting in an increase in other-than-temporary impairment and an increased probability of a realized loss upon sale. In certain instances, counterparties may default on their obligations and the Company may realize a loss on default. Premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable and ~~reinsurance recoverables~~deductible losses recoverable are also subject to credit risk based on the counterparty’s unwillingness or inability to pay.

Management The objective of the Company’s enterprise credit risk management strategy is to identify, quantify and manage credit risk ~~on an~~in aggregate ~~portfolio basis~~ and to limit potential losses in accordance with ~~an established~~the Company's credit risk management policy. The Company ~~primarily~~ manages its credit risk by managing aggregations of risk, holding a diversified mix of ~~investment grade~~ issuers and counterparties across its investment, reinsurance and insurance ~~portfolios.~~portfolios and limiting exposure to any specific reinsurer or counterparty. Potential credit losses ~~are also limited within portfolios by diversifying across~~can be mitigated through diversification (e.g., geographic regions, asset types, industry sectors), hedging and ~~sectors.~~the use of collateral to reduce net credit exposure.

The Company manages credit risk on an ~~on-going~~ongoing basis through the use of various ~~processes~~analyses and ~~analyses.~~governance processes. Both the investment and reinsurance areas have ~~formulated~~formal policies and procedures for counterparty approvals and authorizations, which establish minimum levels of creditworthiness and financial stability. Credits considered for investment are ~~subjected~~subject to underwriting ~~reviews. Within the investment portfolio,~~reviews and private securities are subject to management approval. Mitigation strategies vary across the three sources of credit risk, but may include:

Investing in a portfolio of high-quality and diverse securities;

Selling investments subject to credit risk;

Hedging through use of credit default swaps;

Clearing transactions through central clearing houses that require daily variation margin;

Entering into contracts only with strong creditworthy institutions;

Requiring collateral; and

Non-renewing policies/contracts or reinsurance treaties.

The Company has developed credit exposure thresholds which are based upon counterparty ratings. Aggregate counterparty credit quality and exposure are monitored on a daily basis utilizing an enterprise-wide credit exposure information system that contains data on issuers, ratings, exposures, and credit limits. Exposures are tracked on a current and potential basis and aggregated by ultimate parent of the counterparty across investments, reinsurance receivables, insurance products with credit risk, and derivatives.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company had no investment exposure to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer or counterparty greater than 10% of the Company’s stockholders' equity, other than the U.S. government and certain U.S. government agencies. For further discussion of concentration of credit risk in the investment portfolio, see the Concentration of Credit Risk section in Note 56 - Investments of Notes to Condensed

Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Risk of Derivatives

The Company uses various derivative counterparties in executing its derivative transactions. The use of counterparties creates credit risk that the counterparty may not perform in accordance with the terms of the derivative transaction.

Downgrades to the credit ratings of the Company’s insurance operating companies may have adverse implications for its use of derivatives. In some cases, downgrades may give derivative counterparties for OTC derivatives and clearing brokers for OTC-cleared derivatives the right to cancel and settle outstanding

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

derivative trades or require additional collateral to be posted. In addition, downgrades may result in counterparties and clearing brokers becoming unwilling to engage in or clear additional derivatives or may require additional collateralization before entering into any new trades.

The Company also has derivative counterparty exposure policies which limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures are generally quantified based on the prior business day’s net fair value, including income accruals, of all derivative positions transacted with a single counterparty for each separate legal entity. The Company enters into collateral arrangements in connection with its derivatives positions and collateral is pledged to or held by, or on behalf of, the Company to the extent the exposure is greater than zero, subject to minimum transfer thresholds. For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company incurred no losses on derivative instruments due to counterparty default. For further discussion, see the Derivative Commitments section of Note 1112 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Credit Derivatives

The Company may also use credit default swaps to manage credit exposure or to assume credit risk to enhance yield.

Credit Risk Reduced Through Credit Derivatives

The Company uses credit derivatives to purchase credit protection with respect to a single entity or referenced index. The Company purchases credit protection through credit default swaps to economically hedge and manage credit risk of certain fixed maturity investments across multiple sectors of the investment portfolio.

Credit Risk Assumed Through Credit Derivatives

The Company also enters into credit default swaps that assume credit risk as part of replication transactions. Replication transactions are used as an economical means to synthetically replicate the characteristics and performance of assets that are permissible investments under the Company’s investment policies. These swaps reference investment grade single corporate issuers and indexes.

For further information on credit derivatives, see Note 67 - Derivatives of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of financial loss due to adverse changes in the value of assets and liabilities arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk encompasses exposures with respect to changes in the level of interest rates,

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

the shape of the term structure of rates and the volatility of interest rates. Interest rate risk does not include exposure to changes in credit spreads.

Sources of Interest Rate Risk The Company has exposure to interest ~~rates~~rate risk arising from its fixed maturity investments, commercial mortgage loans, capital securities ~~long-term debt obligations, short and long-term disability claim reserves,~~issued by the Company and discount rate assumptions associated with the Company’s claim reserves and pension and other ~~post retirement~~post-retirement benefit ~~obligations.~~obligations as well as from assets that support the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Impact Changes in interest rates from current levels can have both favorable and unfavorable effects for the Company.

Management The Company ~~primarily~~ manages its exposure to interest rate risk by constructing investment portfolios that seek to protect the firm from the economic impact associated with changes in interest rates by setting portfolio duration targets that are aligned with the duration of the liabilities that they support. The Company analyzes interest rate risk using various models including parametric models and cash flow simulation under various market scenarios of the liabilities and their supporting investment portfolios. Key metrics that the Company uses to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk inherent in its invested assets and the associated liabilities include duration, convexity and key rate duration.

The Company ~~may also utilize~~utilizes a variety of derivative instruments to mitigate interest rate risk associated with its investment portfolio or to hedge liabilities. Interest rate caps, floors, swaps, swaptions, and futures may be used to manage portfolio duration.

Equity Risk

Equity risk is the risk of financial loss due to changes in the value of global equities or equity indices.

Sources of Equity Risk The Company has exposure to equity risk from invested assets, assets that support the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, and fee income derived from Hartford Funds assets under management. In addition, the Company has equity exposure through its 9.7% ownership interest in the limited partnership, Hopmeadow Holdings LP, that owns the life and annuity business sold in 2018. For further information, see Note 20 - Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

Impact The investment portfolio is exposed to losses from market declines affecting equity securities, alternative assets and

limited partnerships which could negatively impact the Company's reported earnings. For assets supporting pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, the Company may be required to make additional plan contributions if equity investments in the plan portfolios decline in value. Hartford Funds earnings are also significantly influenced by the U.S. and other equity markets. Generally, declines in equity markets will reduce the value of assets under management and the amount of fee income generated from those assets. Increases in equity markets will generally have the inverse impact.

Management The Company uses various approaches in managing its equity exposure, including limits on the proportion of assets invested in equities, diversification of the equity portfolio, and hedging of changes in equity indices. For assets supporting pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, the asset allocation mix is reviewed on a periodic basis. In order to minimize risk, the pension plans maintain a listing of permissible and prohibited investments and impose concentration limits and investment quality requirements on permissible investment options.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Sources of Currency RiskForeign currency exchange risk is the risk of financial loss due to changes in the relative value between currencies.

The functional currency of The Company's principal insurance subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The Company has foreign currency exchange risk inby holding non-U.S. dollar denominated investments, which primarily consist of fixed maturity and equity investments and foreign denominated cash.

ImpactChanges in relative values between currencies can create variability in cash flows and realized or unrealized gains and losses on changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities.

ManagementThe open foreign currency exposure of non-U.S. dollar denominated investments will most commonly be reduced through the sale of the assets or through hedges using currency futures/forwards/swaps.

In ~~order~~addition, as a global company, we transact business in multiple currencies. Many of our non-U.S. subsidiaries maintain assets and liabilities in local currencies that differ from their functional currency. We manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily through asset-liability matching. In addition to ~~manage the currency risk related to any~~holding non-U.S. dollar denominated ~~liability contracts, the Company holds~~assets to support non-U.S. dollar denominated ~~investments which match~~liabilities, legal entity required capital is invested in non-U.S. dollar currencies in order to satisfy regulatory requirements and to support local insurance operations exposing the ~~underlying currency exposure~~Company to the fluctuation of the ~~liabilities.~~U.S. dollar.

The following table presents the Company’s fixed maturities, AFS, by credit quality. The credit ratings referenced throughout this section are based on availability and are generally the midpoint of the available ratings among Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.

[1]	Pre-Refunded bonds are bonds for which an irrevocable trust containing sufficient U.S. treasury, agency, or other securities has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest.

[2]

Leasing revenue bonds are generally the obligations of a financing authority established by the municipality that leases facilities back to a municipality. The notes are typically secured by lease payments made by the municipality that is leasing the facilities financed by the issue. Lease payments may be subject to annual appropriation by the municipality or the municipality may be obligated to appropriate general tax revenues to make lease payments.

As of both ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the largest issuer concentrations were the New York Dormitory Authority, the ~~Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the~~ New York City Transitional Finance Authority, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which each comprised less than 3% of the municipal bond portfolio and were primarily comprised of general obligation and revenue bonds. In total, municipal bonds make up ~~22%~~19% of the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio. In light of changes in corporate income tax rates that began in 2018, the Company has reduced its exposure to municipal bonds through maturities, asset sales and principal repayments.

Available-for-sale Securities — Unrealized Loss Aging

The total gross unrealized losses were $~~209~~54 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and have decreased $~~445~~600, from December 31, 2018, primarily due to ~~tightening of credit spreads and~~ lower interest ~~rates.~~rates and tighter credit spreads. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, $~~204~~39 of the gross unrealized losses were associated with securities depressed less than 20% of cost or amortized cost. The remaining $515 of gross unrealized losses were associated with securities depressed greater than 20%. The securities depressed more than 20% are primarily ~~securities with exposure~~related to one corporate security experiencing issuer specific difficulties, and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate securities which are depressed primarily due to wider spreads since the securities were purchased.

As part of the Company’s ongoing security monitoring process, the Company has reviewed its AFS securities in an unrealized loss position and concluded that these securities are temporarily depressed and are expected to recover in value as the securities approach maturity or as market spreads tighten. For these securities in an unrealized loss position where a credit impairment has not been recorded, the Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows are sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the security. Furthermore, the Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell these securities. For further information regarding the Company’s impairment analysis, see Other-Than-Temporary Impairments in the Investment Portfolio Risks and Risk Management section of this MD&A.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company does not have a 2019 required minimum funding contribution for the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and the funding requirements for all pension plans are expected

to be immaterial. The Company ~~has not determined whether, and~~contributed $70 in September 2019 to ~~what extent, contributions may be made to the~~its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension ~~plan in 2019. The Company will monitor the funded status of the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan during 2019 to make this determination.~~plan.

Dividends from ~~Insurance~~ Subsidiaries

Dividends to the HFSG Holding Company from its insurance subsidiaries are restricted by insurance regulation. Upon the acquisition of Navigators Group, the Company’s principal insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in the United States, the United Kingdom and Belgium.

The payment of dividends by Connecticut-domiciled insurers is limited under the insurance holding company laws of Connecticut. These laws require notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner for the declaration or payment of any dividend, which, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the insurer’s statutory policyholder surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) net income (or net gain from operations, if such company is a life insurance company) for the twelve-month period ending on the thirty-first day of December last preceding, in each case determined under statutory insurance accounting principles. In addition, if any dividend of a Connecticut-domiciled insurer exceeds the insurer’s earned surplus, it requires the prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner.

Property casualty insurers domiciled in New York, including Navigators Insurance Company ("NIC") and Navigators Specialty Insurance Company ("NSIC"), generally may not, without notice to and approval by the state insurance commissioner, pay dividends out of earned surplus in any twelve‑month period that exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of the insurer’s statutory policyholders’ surplus as of the most recent financial statement on file, or (ii) 100% of its adjusted net investment income, as defined, for the same twelve month period. As part of the New York state insurance commissioner's approval of the Navigators Group acquisition, and as is common practice, any dividend from NIC and NSIC before May 2021 will require prior approval from the state insurance commissioner.

The insurance holding company laws of the other jurisdictions in which The Hartford’s insurance subsidiaries are incorporated (or deemed commercially domiciled) generally contain similar (although in certain instances more restrictive) limitations on the payment of dividends. In addition to statutory limitations on paying dividends, the Company also takes other items into consideration when determining dividends from subsidiaries. These considerations include, but are not limited to, expected earnings and capitalization of the subsidiaries, regulatory capital requirements and liquidity requirements of the individual operating company.

Corporate members of Lloyd's Syndicates may pay dividends to its parent to the extent of available profits that have been distributed from the syndicate in excess of the Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL") capital requirement. The FAL is determined based on the syndicate’s solvency capital requirement of the syndicate under

the E.U.'s Solvency II capital adequacy model, plus a Lloyd’s specific economic capital assessment.

Insurers domiciled in the United Kingdom may pay dividends to its parent out of its statutory profits subject to restrictions imposed under U.K. Company law and European Insurance regulation (Solvency II). Belgium domiciled insurers may only pay dividends if, at the end of its previous fiscal year, the total amount of its assets, as reduced by its provisions and debts, are in excess of certain minimum capital thresholds calculated under Belgian law.

As of December 31, 2018, under the ~~formula~~formulas described above, the Company’s property and casualty insurance subsidiaries in the United States and overseas are permitted to pay up to a maximum of approximately ~~$1.2~~$1.3 billion in dividends to HFSG Holding Company in 2019, ~~without prior approval from the applicable insurance commissioner,~~ though only approximately ~~$200~~$250 of this dividend capacity ~~can be~~could have been paid before the fourth quarter of 2019. Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA") has $380 of dividend capacity for 2019.

~~During~~Through the first ~~three~~nine months of 2019, HFSG Holding Company received ~~$107~~$312 of dividends, including ~~$75~~$225 from ~~Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("HLA") , $29~~HLA, $84 from Hartford Funds and $3 from a run-off HFSG subsidiary. There were no dividends received from P&C subsidiaries induring the first nine months of 2019.

Over the remainder of 2019, the Company anticipates receiving approximately ~~$175 to $225~~$75 of dividends from HLA and ~~$75 to $100~~$32 of dividends from Hartford Funds, and does not anticipate receiving ~~any additional~~net dividends from its P&C subsidiaries.

Other Sources of Capital for the HFSG Holding Company

The Hartford endeavors to maintain a capital structure that provides financial and operational flexibility to its insurance subsidiaries, ratings that support its competitive position in the financial services marketplace (see the "Ratings" section below for further discussion), and stockholder returns. As a result, the

~~Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

Company may from time to time raise capital from the issuance of debt, common equity, preferred stock, equity-related debt or other capital securities and is continuously evaluating strategic opportunities. The issuance of debt, common equity, equity-related debt or other capital securities could result in the dilution of stockholder interests or reduced net income due to additional interest expense.

Shelf Registrations

The Hartford filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the SEC") on ~~July 29, 2016~~May 17, 2019 that permits it to offer and sell debt and equity securities during the three-year life of the registration statement.

Revolving Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper

Revolving Credit Facilities

The Company has a senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that provides up to $750 ~~million~~ of unsecured credit through March 29, ~~2024.~~2023. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, no borrowings were outstanding and $3$4 in letters of credit were issued under the Credit Facility and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Commercial Paper

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, The Hartford's maximum borrowings available under its commercial paper program is $750 and there was no commercial paper outstanding.

Intercompany Liquidity Agreements

The Company has $2.0 billion available under an intercompany liquidity agreement that allows for short-term advances of funds among the HFSG Holding Company and certain affiliates of up to $2$2.0 billion for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. The Connecticut Department of Insurance ("CTDOI") granted approval for certain affiliated insurance companies that are parties to the agreement to treat receivables from a parent, including the HFSG Holding Company, as admitted assets for statutory accounting purposes.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 there were no amounts outstanding at the HFSG Holding Company.

Collateralized Advances with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston

The Company’s subsidiaries, Hartford Fire Insurance Company (“Hartford Fire”) and Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (“HLA”), are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”). Membership allows these subsidiaries access to collateralized advances, which may be short- or long-term with fixed or variable rates. Advances may be used to support general corporate purposes, which would be presented as short- or long-term debt, or to earn incremental investment income, which would be presented in other liabilities consistent with other collateralized financing transactions. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, there were no advances outstanding used to support general corporate purposes and $50 in advances outstanding used to earn incremental investment income under the Hartford Fire FHLBB facility. This advance was repaid on April 22, 2019.outstanding.

For further information regarding collateralized advances with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, see Note ~~5 – Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note~~

13 - Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

Lloyd's Letter of Credit Facilities

As a result of the acquisition of Navigators Group, The Hartford assumed three existing letter of credit facility agreements: the Club Facility, the Bilateral Facility, and the Australian Dollar Facility. Letters of credit under the Club and Bilateral Facilities are used to provide a portion of the capital requirements at Lloyd's. As of September 30, 2019, uncollateralized letters of credit with an aggregate face amount of $165 and £60 million were outstanding under the Club Facility and $8 was outstanding under the Bilateral Facility. As of September 30, 2019, the Bilateral Facility has unused capacity of $17 for issuance of additional letters of credit. Among other covenants, the Club Facility and Bilateral Facility contain financial covenants regarding tangible net worth and Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL"). As of September 30, 2019, Navigators Group was in compliance with all financial covenants. It is expected that in November of 2019, the Company will use $15 of the available $17 of capacity as of September 30, 2019 under the Bilateral Facility to issue letters of credit. It is expected that the amount of letters of credit permitted to support Lloyd's capital requirements will be reduced by the end of 2020, which may require the Company to seek alternative means of supporting its obligations at Lloyd's, including utilizing holding company resources.

As of September 30, 2019, letters of credit in the amount of 24 million Australian Dollars were outstanding with 26 million

Australian Dollars of unused capacity. Effective November 7, 2019 we expect letters of credit in the amount of 50 million Australian Dollars will be outstanding.

Derivative Commitments

Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements contain provisions that are tied to the financial strength ratings, as set by nationally recognized statistical agencies, of the individual legal entity that entered into the derivative agreement. If the legal entity’s financial strength were to fall below certain ratings, the counterparties to the derivative agreements could demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization and in certain instances enable the counterparties to terminate the agreements and demand immediate settlement of all outstanding derivative positions traded under each impacted bilateral agreement. The settlement amount is determined by netting the derivative positions transacted under each agreement. If the termination rights were to be exercised by the counterparties, it could impact the legal entity’s ability to conduct hedging activities by increasing the associated costs and decreasing the willingness of counterparties to transact with the legal entity. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 was $6881. For this $6881, the legal entities have posted collateral of $6180 in the normal course of business. Based on derivative market values as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, a downgrade of one level below the current financial strength ratings by either Moody's or S&P would not require additional assets to be posted as collateral. Based on derivative market values as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, a downgrade of two levels below the current financial strength ratings by either Moody’s or S&P would require an additional $8 of assets to be posted as collateral. These collateral amounts could change as derivative market values change, as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated. The nature of the additional collateral that we would post, if required, would be primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes and government agency securities.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, no derivative positions would be subject to immediate termination in the event of a downgrade of one level below the current financial strength ratings. This could change as a result of changes in our hedging activities or to the extent changes in contractual terms are negotiated.

Insurance Operations

While subject to variability period to period, underwriting and investment cash flows continue to be within historical norms and, therefore, the Company’s insurance operations’ current liquidity position is considered to be sufficient to meet anticipated demands over the next twelve months. For a discussion and tabular presentation of the Company’s current contractual obligations by period, refer to Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations within the Capital Resources and Liquidity section of the MD&A included in The Hartford’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report.

The principal sources of operating funds are premiums, fees earned from assets under management and investment income, while investing cash flows primarily originate from maturities and sales of invested assets. The primary uses of funds are to pay claims, claim adjustment expenses, commissions and other underwriting and insurance operating costs, to pay taxes, to ~~purchase new~~

Part I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

purchase new investments and to make dividend payments to the HFSG Holding Company.

The Company’s insurance operations consist of property and casualty insurance products (collectively referred to as “Property & Casualty Operations”) and Group Benefits.

The Company's insurance operations hold fixed maturity securities including a significant short-term investment position (securities with maturities of one year or less at the time of purchase) to meet liquidity needs. Liquidity requirements that are unable to be funded by the Company's insurance operations' short-term investments would be satisfied with current operating funds, including premiums or investing cash flows, which includes proceeds received through the sale of invested assets. A sale of invested assets could result in significant realized capital losses.

The following tables represent the fixed maturity holdings, including the aforementioned cash and short-term investments ~~necessary~~available to meet liquidity needs, for each of the Company’s insurance operations.

[1] Cash activities in 2018 include cash flows from Discontinued Operations; see Note 1617 - Business Disposition and Discontinued Operations of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on cash flows from Discontinued Operations.

Cash provided by operating activities ~~decreased~~increased in 2019 as compared to the prior year period, ~~primarily driven by~~despite the inclusion of operations from the life and annuity business sold in May 2018 in the prior year ~~period.~~period, primarily due to an AMT refund of $421 in 2019 as well as an increase in premiums received in excess of losses and expenses paid.

Cash ~~provided by (used for) investing activities~~ ~~changed from cash~~ used for investing activities ~~in 2018 to cash provided by investing activities in 2019,~~ increased, primarily due to ~~an increase in~~a change from net proceeds ~~from short-term investments and derivatives, partially offset by an increase in~~to net payments for fixed maturities .in the 2019 period, as well as cash paid for the acquisition of Navigators Group of $1.9 billion (net of cash acquired), partially offset by net proceeds from short term investments in 2019 as opposed to net payments in the 2018 period.

Cash used for financing activities decreased from the 2018 period primarily due to a ~~change to an increase~~lower net decrease in cash used for net securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase, an increase in proceeds from ~~a decrease~~issuance of debt, and the sale of the life and annuity business in May 2018 which contributed significant cash outflows in the ~~prior year period, as well as proceeds in 2019 from FHLBB collateral advances,~~2018 period. These items were partially offset by an increase in repayments of debt ~~repayments and a decline~~ in proceeds from issuance of debt. Additionally, a substantial amount of cash use in the 2018 period consisted of net payments for deposits, transfers and withdrawals for investments and universal life products associated with the life and annuity business sold in May 2018.2019.

Operating cash flow for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 have been adequate to meet liquidity requirements.

Ratings

Ratings are an important factor in establishing a competitive position in the insurance marketplace and impact the Company's ability to access financing and its cost of borrowing. There can be no assurance that the Company’s ratings will continue for any given period of time, or that they will not be changed. In the event

the Company’s ratings are downgraded, the Company’s competitive position, ability to access financing, and its cost of borrowing, may be adversely impacted.

On April 15, 2019, Standards & Poor's ("S&P") raised its issuer credit and financial strength ratings on Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Co. ("HLA") to A+ from A. The upgrade of HLA's ratings reflects S&P's improved view of the Company's group benefits business which they consider core to the Company under their group rating methodology criteria.

On August 30, 2019, AM Best raised its financial strength rating on Navigators Insurance Company ("NIC") to A+ from A. The upgrade reflects the support provided by The Hartford, as well as the importance it will play within the overall Hartford organization, following its acquisition in May 2019.



Insurance Financial Strength Ratings as of ~~April 29,~~November 1, 2019
	A.M. Best	Standard & Poor’s	Moody’s
Hartford Fire Insurance Company	A+	A+	A1
Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company	A	A+	A2
Navigators Insurance Company	A+	A	Not Rated

Other Ratings:
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.:
Senior debt	a-	BBB+	Baa1
Commercial paper	AMB-1	A-2	P-2

These ratings are not a recommendation to buy or hold any of The Hartford’s securities and they may be revised or revoked at any time at the sole discretion of the rating organization.

The agencies consider many factors in determining the final rating of an insurance company. One consideration is the relative level of statutory capital and surplus (referred to collectively as "statutory capital") necessary to support the business written and is reported in accordance with accounting practices prescribed by the applicable state insurance department.

Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

For a discussion regarding contingencies related to The Hartford’s legal proceedings, please see the information contained under “Litigation” and "Asbestos and Environmental Claims" in Note 1112 - Commitments and Contingencies Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the "Affordable Care Act")

It is unclear whether the Administration, Congress or the courts will seek to reverse, amend or alter the ongoing operation of the Affordable Care Act ("ACA"). If such actions were to occur, they may have an impact on various aspects of our business, including our insurance businesses. It is unclear what an amended ACA would entail, and to what extent there may be a transition period for the phase out of the ACA. The impact to The Hartford as an employer would be consistent with other large employers. The Hartford’s core business does not involve the issuance of health insurance, and we have not observed any material impacts on the Company’s workers’ compensation business or group benefits business from the enactment of the ACA. We will continue to monitor the impact of the ACA and any reforms on consumer, broker and medical provider behavior for leading indicators of changes in medical costs or loss payments primarily on the Company's workers' compensation and disability liabilities.

Tax Reform

At the end of 2017, Congress passed and the president signed, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Reform"), which enacted significant reforms to the U.S. tax code. The major areas of interest to the company include the reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and the repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and the refunding of AMT credits. We continue to analyze Tax Reform for other potential impacts. The U.S. Treasury and IRS are developing guidance on implementing Tax Reform, and Congress may

consider additional technical corrections to the legislation. Tax

proposals and regulatory initiatives which have been or are being considered by Congress and/or the U.S. Treasury Department could have a material effect on the ~~company~~Company and its insurance businesses. The nature and timing of any Congressional or regulatory action with respect to any such efforts is unclear. For additional information on risks to the Company related to Tax Reform, please see the risk factor entitled "Changes in federal or state tax laws could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity" under "Risk Factors" in Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For a discussion of accounting standards, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in The Hartford’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report and Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Part I - Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purposes set forth in the definition thereof in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

On May 23, 2019 we acquired Navigators Group. SEC guidance permits management to omit an assessment of an acquired business from management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition. Accordingly, we have not yet included Navigators Group in our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, Navigators Group accounted for 8.2% of our total net revenue, and as of September 30, 2019 represented 10.3% of total assets.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's current fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

As described above, our management excluded an assessment of the internal controls over financial reporting of Navigators Group from its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019. The Company has begun integrating Navigators Group into its existing control procedures, which may lead us to modify certain internal controls in future periods.

Part II - Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation

The Hartford is involved in claims litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, both as a liability insurer defending or providing indemnity for third-party claims brought against insureds and as an insurer defending coverage claims brought against ~~it.~~it, including claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims or other allegedly unfair or improper claims practices. The Hartford accounts for such activity through the establishment of unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Subject to the uncertainties related to The Hartford's A&E claims discussed in Note 1112 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of The Hartford.

The Hartford is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert claims for substantial amounts. ~~In addition, these~~These actions include ~~among others, putative state and federal class actions~~lawsuits seeking certification of a state or national ~~class. Such putative~~ class ~~actions have alleged,~~alleging improper business practices, including, for example, underpayment of claims or improper underwriting practices, ~~in connection with various kinds of insurance policies, such~~ as ~~personal and commercial automobile, property, disability, and inland marine. The Hartford also is involved in~~well as individual ~~actions~~lawsuits in which punitive damages are sought, such as claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims or other allegedly unfair or improper business practices. Like many other insurers, The Hartford also has been joined in actions by asbestos plaintiffs asserting, among other things, that insurers had a duty to protect the public from the dangers of asbestos and that insurers committed unfair trade practices by asserting defenses on behalf of their policyholders in the underlying asbestos cases.

may be sought. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of The Hartford. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, the outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investing in The Hartford involves risk. In deciding whether to invest in The Hartford, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, ~~(collectively~~as updated by Item 1A of Part II of the ~~“Company’s Risk Factors” or individually,~~Company's Form 10-Q for the ~~“Company’s Risk Factor”),~~period ended June 30, 2019, any of which could have a significant or material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity of The Hartford. This information should be considered carefully together with the other information contained in this report and the other reports and materials filed by The Hartford with the SEC.

Part II - Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

In February, 2019, the Company announced a $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization by the Board of Directors which is

effective through December 31, 2020. ~~Based on projected holding company resources,~~While the Company ~~expects to use a portion of the authorization~~has repurchased shares in 2019, ~~but~~it anticipates using the majority of the program in 2020. Any repurchase of shares under the equity repurchase program is dependent on market conditions and other factors.
