Travelers: EPS up 31% in Q4
(CercleFinance.com) - Travelers reports Q4 2024 'core' EPS of $9.
15, up 31% year-on-year, representing a return on equity (RoE) of 27.7% versus 24% a year earlier.
The insurer explains that a higher underlying underwriting gain, increased net investment income and favorable prior-year net reserve development more than offset an increase in catastrophe losses.
Net written premiums increased by 9% to $10.9bn, and the combined ratio improved by 2.6 points to 83.2%, thanks to very good underlying profitability and an increase in favorable prior-year net reserve development.
