Major Rating Factors: Poor long-term capitalization index (2.5 on a scale of 0 to 10) based on weak current risk adjusted capital (severe loss scenarios), although results have slipped from the excellent range over the last two years. Fair reserve development (3.9) as reserves have generally been sufficient to cover claims. In 2024 the two year reserve development was 20.5% deficient. Fair profitability index (3.1) with operating losses during 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Average return on equity over the last five years has been poor at -6.9%.
Other Rating Factors: Fair overall results on stability tests (3.8) including weak risk adjusted capital in prior years and weak results on operational trends. Good liquidity (6.9) with sufficient resources (cash flows and marketable investments) to handle a spike in claims.
