Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026

• For example, legislative, judicial and regulatory actions may expand coverage definitions, retroactively mandate coverage or otherwise require our insurance subsidiaries to pay losses for damages that their policies explicitly excluded or did not intend to cover.
• Our insurance subsidiaries base their estimates of liabilities for losses and loss expenses on assumptions as to future loss trends, expected claims severity, judicial theories of liability and other factors.
• Differences between our GAAP loss ratio and our statutory loss ratio result from anticipating salvage and subrogation recoveries for our GAAP loss ratio but not for our statutory loss ratio.
• The income tax expense for the third quarter of 2026 and 2025 represented estimates based on our projected annual taxable income and effective tax rates.
• Our insurance subsidiaries experienced favorable development primarily in the commercial automobile, personal automobile, workers’ compensation and homeowners lines of business for the first nine months of 2026, offset partially by unfavorable development in the commercial multi-peril and other commercial lines of business that we attribute to higher-than-anticipated case reserve development.
• The income tax expense for the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 represented estimates based on our projected annual taxable income and effective tax rates.
• We structure our fixed-maturity investment portfolio following a “laddering” approach, so that projected cash flows from investment income and principal maturities are evenly distributed from a timing perspective.
• Although Donegal Mutual and we do not anticipate any changes in the pool participation levels in the foreseeable future, any such change would be prospective in nature and therefore would not impact the timing of expected payments by Atlantic States for its percentage share of pooled losses occurring in periods prior to the effective date of such change.
• Based upon our analysis of general market conditions and underlying factors impacting these fixed maturities, we have determined that no additional allowance for expected credit loss is required beyond the allowance for expected credit loss we recorded at September 30, 2026.
