(1) Based on Insurance Expense Exhibit (IEE) data. Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. did not file an IEE in 2012. Several companies in 2013 reduced loss reserves as a result of strains from the financial crisis, creating a negative combined ratio.
(2) After reinsurance transactions, excludes state funds.
(3) After dividends to policyholders. A drop in the combined ratio represents an improvement; an increase represents a deterioration.
(4) Calculated from unrounded data.
