Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts or explicitly stated as an opinion are specifically identified as forward-looking statements. These statements are based upon our estimates and anticipation of future events and are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from the expected results described in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as, but not limited to, "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "hope," "hopeful," "intend," "likely," "may," "optimistic," "possible," "potential," "preliminary," "project," "should," "will" and other analogous expressions. There are numerous factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Thus, sentences and phrases that we use to convey our view of future events and trends are expressly designated as forward-looking statements as are sections of this Form 10-Q that are identified as giving our outlook on future business.

Forward-looking statements relating to our business include among other things: statements concerning future liquidity and capital requirements, investment valuation and performance, return on equity, financial ratios, net income, premiums, losses and loss reserve, premium rates and retention of current business, competition and market conditions, the expansion of product lines, the development or acquisition of business in new geographical areas, the pricing or availability of acceptable reinsurance, actions by regulators and rating agencies, court actions, legislative actions, payment or performance of obligations under indebtedness, payment of dividends and other matters.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, among other things, the following factors that could affect the actual outcome of future events:


l			changes in general economic conditions, including the impact of inflation, including medical and social inflation, and unemployment;

l			regulatory, legislative and judicial actions or decisions that could affect our business plans or operations;
l			the enactment or repeal of tort reforms;
l			formation or dissolution of state-sponsored insurance entities providing coverages now offered by ProAssurance which could remove or add sizable numbers of insureds from or to the private insurance market;

l			resolution of uncertain tax matters and changes in tax laws;
l			changes in laws or government regulations regarding financial markets or market activity that may affect our business;
l			changes in the ability, or perception thereof, of the U.S. government to meet its obligations that may affect the U.S. economy and our business;
l			performance of financial markets affecting the fair value of our investments or making it difficult to determine the value of our investments;
l			changes in requirements or accounting policies and practices that may be adopted by our regulatory agencies, the governments of states in which we are domiciled, the FASB, the SEC, the PCAOB or the NYSE that may affect our business;
l			changes in laws or government regulations affecting the financial services industry, the property and casualty insurance industry, the workers' compensation insurance industry or particular insurance lines underwritten by our subsidiaries;
l			the effect on our insureds, particularly the insurance needs of our insureds, and our loss costs, of changes in the healthcare delivery system and/or changes in the U.S. political climate that may affect healthcare policy or our business;
l			consolidation of our insureds into or under larger entities which may be insured by competitors, or may not have a risk profile that meets our underwriting criteria or which may not use external providers for insuring or otherwise managing substantial portions of their liability risk;
l			the effect of cyclical insurance industry trends on our underwriting, including demand and pricing in the insurance and reinsurance markets in which we operate;
l			uncertainties inherent in the estimate of our loss and loss adjustment expense reserve and reinsurance recoverable;
l			changes in the availability, cost, quality or collectability of insurance/reinsurance;
l			the results of litigation, including pre- or post-trial motions, trials and/or appeals we undertake;
l			effects on our claims costs from mass tort litigation that are different from that anticipated by us;

l			taxing authorities can take exception to our tax positions and cause us to incur significant amounts of legal and accounting costs and, if our defense is not successful, additional tax costs, including interest and penalties.

Our results may differ materially from those we expect and discuss in any forward-looking statements. The principal risk factors that may cause these material differences are described in "Item 1A, Risk Factors" in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the SEC, such as our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which are based upon conditions existing only as of the date made, and advise readers that these factors could affect our financial performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. Except as required by law or regulations, we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

ProAssurance Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2024

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of ProAssurance Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs in which ProAssurance is the primary beneficiary (ProAssurance, PRA or the Company). See Note 10 for more information on ProAssurance's VIE interests. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. ProAssurance’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, ProAssurance operates in four reportable segments as follows: Specialty P&C, Workers' Compensation Insurance, Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance and Corporate. For more information on the Company's segment reporting, including the nature of products and services provided and financial information by segment, refer to Note 12.

Reclassifications

As a result of the third quarter 2023 segment reorganization, prior period segment information in Note 12 has been recast to conform to the Company's current segment reporting.

Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures related to these amounts at the date of the financial statements. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on current and historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company can make no assurance that actual results will conform to its estimates and assumptions; reported results of operations may be materially affected by changes in these estimates and assumptions.

The significant accounting policies followed by ProAssurance in making estimates that materially affect financial reporting are summarized in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

Accounting Changes Adopted

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Accounting Changes Not Yet Adopted

Disclosure Improvements (ASU 2023-06)

In October 2023, the FASB amended guidance to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. ProAssurance is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

2. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy has been established for valuing assets and liabilities based on how transparent (observable) the inputs are that are used to determine fair value, with the inputs considered most observable categorized as Level 1 and those that are the least observable categorized as Level 3. Hierarchy levels are defined as follows:


			Level 1:			quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For ProAssurance, Level 1 inputs are generally quotes for securities actively traded in exchange or over-the-counter markets.


			Level 2:			market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs). For ProAssurance, Level 2 inputs generally include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, and results from pricing models that use observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are generally available at commonly quoted intervals.


			Level 3:			the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances (non-observable inputs). For ProAssurance, Level 3 inputs are used in situations where little or no Level 1 or 2 inputs are available or are inappropriate given the particular circumstances. Level 3 inputs include results from pricing models for which some or all of the inputs are not observable, discounted cash flow methodologies, single non-binding broker quotes and adjustments to externally quoted prices that are based on management judgment or estimation.

Fair values of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are shown in the following tables. Where applicable, the tables also indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine those fair values. For some assets, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When this is the case, the asset is categorized based on the level of the most significant input to the fair value measurement. Assessments of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement require judgment and consideration of factors specific to the assets being valued. For more information on the valuation methodologies used regarding securities in the Level 2 and Level 3 categories, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

Transfers

Transfers shown in the preceding Level 3 tables were as of the end of the period in which the transfer occurred. All transfers were to or from Level 2.

All transfers in and out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 related to securities held for which the level of market activity for identical or nearly identical securities varies from period to period. The securities were valued using multiple observable inputs when those inputs were available; otherwise the securities were valued using limited observable inputs.

Fair Values Not Categorized

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, certain LPs/LLCs and investment funds measure fund assets at fair value on a recurring basis and provide a NAV for ProAssurance's interest. The carrying value of these interests is based on the NAV provided and was considered to approximate the fair value of the interests. For investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, ProAssurance recognizes any changes in the NAV of its interests in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries during the period of change. In accordance with GAAP, the fair value of these investments was not classified within the fair value hierarchy. The amount of ProAssurance's unfunded contractual commitments related to these investments as of March 31, 2024 and fair values of these investments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:


	Unfunded Contractual Commitments	Fair Value
(In thousands)	March 31, 2024	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023


Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries:
Private debt funds (1)	$4,565	$	16,768	$	19,886

Long/short equity funds (2)	None	4,243		4,497

Total investments carried at NAV		$	246,143	$	245,455

Below is additional information regarding each of the investments listed in the table above as of March 31, 2024.

(1)This investment is comprised of interests in two unrelated LP funds that are structured to provide interest distributions primarily through diversified portfolios of private debt instruments. One LP allows redemption by special consent, while the other does not permit redemption. Income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LPs over an anticipated time frame that spans from three to eight years.

(2)This investment is comprised of one LP fund, which holds long and short publicly traded securities that will passively generate income. Redemptions are permitted with 30 days written notice if outside of a lock-up period.

(3)This investment is comprised of interests in multiple unrelated LP funds, each structured to provide capital appreciation through diversified investments in private equity, which can include investments in buyout, venture capital, debt including senior, second lien and mezzanine, distressed debt, collateralized loan obligations and other private equity-oriented LPs. Two of the LPs allow redemption by terms set forth in the LP agreements; the others do not permit redemption. Income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LP over time frames that are anticipated to span up to ten years.

(4)This investment is comprised of multiple unrelated LP funds. Two funds seek to obtain superior risk-adjusted absolute returns through a diversified portfolio of debt securities, including bonds, loans and other asset-backed instruments. The remaining funds focus on private middle market company mezzanine and senior secured loans, opportunities across the credit spectrum, mortgage backed-loans, as well as various types of loan-backed investments. One fund allows redemptions at any quarter-end with prior notice requirements of 180 days, while two other funds allow for redemptions with consent of the General Partner. The remaining funds do not allow redemptions. For the funds that do not allow redemptions, income and capital are to be periodically distributed at the discretion of the LP over time frames throughout the remaining life of the funds.

(5)This investment is comprised of multiple unrelated LPs/LLCs funds. One fund is an LLC focused on investing in North American consumer products companies, comprised of equity and equity-related securities, as well as debt instruments. A second fund is focused on aircraft investments, along with components and assets related to aircrafts. A

March 31, 2024

third fund is an LLC focused on acquiring ownership stakes in insurance agencies. For all three funds, redemptions are not permitted. The remaining funds are real estate focused LPs, two of which allow for redemption with prior notice.

ProAssurance may not sell, transfer or assign its interest in any of the above LPs/LLCs without special consent from the LPs/LLCs.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurement

ProAssurance did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Financial Instruments - Methodologies Other Than Fair Value

The following table provides the estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments that, in accordance with GAAP for the type of investment, are measured using a methodology other than fair value. Fair values provided primarily fall within the Level 3 fair value category.


	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
(In thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Financial assets:
BOLI	$	78,657	$	78,657	$	78,205	$	78,205
Other investments	$	4,064	$	4,064	$	3,215	$	3,215
Other assets	$	34,824	$	34,824	$	33,231	$	33,221
Financial liabilities:

Revolving Credit Agreement*	$	125,000	$	125,000	$	125,000	$	125,000
Term Loan*	$	125,000	$	125,000	$	125,000	$	125,000
Contribution Certificates	$	179,865	$	147,328	$	179,387	$	149,782

Other liabilities	$	33,548	$	33,548	$	32,043	$	32,043
* Carrying value excludes unamortized debt issuance costs.

The fair value of the BOLI was equal to the cash surrender value associated with the policies on the valuation date.

Other investments listed in the table above include FHLB common stock carried at cost and an annuity investment carried at amortized cost. Three of ProAssurance's insurance subsidiaries are members of an FHLB. The estimated fair value of the FHLB common stock was based on the amount the subsidiaries would receive if their memberships were canceled, as the memberships cannot be sold. The fair value of the annuity represents the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted using a rate available in active markets for similarly structured instruments.

Other assets and other liabilities primarily consisted of related investment assets and liabilities associated with funded deferred compensation agreements. The fair value of the funded deferred compensation assets was based upon quoted market prices, which is categorized as a Level 1 valuation, and had a fair value of $33.8 million and $32.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Other assets also included an unsecured note receivable. The fair value of the note receivable was based on the present value of expected cash flows from the note receivable, discounted at market rates on the valuation date for receivables with similar credit standings and similar payment structures. Other liabilities primarily consisted of liabilities associated with funded deferred compensation agreements. The reported balance is determined based on the amount of elective deferrals and employer contributions adjusted for periodic changes in the fair value of the participant balances based on the performance of the funds selected by the participants and had a fair value of $33.5 million and $32.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The fair value of the debt, excluding the Contribution Certificates, was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash outflows, discounted at rates available on the valuation date for similar debt issued by entities with a similar credit standing to ProAssurance.

The fair value of the Contribution Certificates was estimated based on a binomial option pricing model. The Contribution Certificates were a portion of the purchase consideration for the NORCAL acquisition and were issued to certain NORCAL policyholders in the conversion, and those instruments are an obligation of NORCAL Insurance Company, the successor of NORCAL Mutual Insurance Company (see Note 6 for further discussion of the terms of the Contribution Certificates).

The securities were evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, excluding U.S. Government or U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise obligations, there were 2,531 debt securities (65.6% of all available-for-sale fixed maturity securities held) in an unrealized loss position representing 1,319 issuers. The greatest and second greatest unrealized loss positions among those securities were approximately $5.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The securities were evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2023.

March 31, 2024

Each quarter, ProAssurance performs a detailed analysis for the purpose of assessing whether any of the securities it holds in an unrealized loss position has suffered an impairment due to credit or non-credit factors. A detailed discussion of the factors considered in the assessment is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

Fixed maturity securities held in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2024, excluding asset-backed securities, have paid all scheduled contractual payments and are expected to continue. Expected future cash flows of asset-backed securities, excluding those issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC, held in an unrealized loss position were estimated as part of the March 31, 2024 impairment evaluation using the most recently available six-month historical performance data for the collateral (loans) underlying the security or, if historical data was not available, sector based assumptions, and equaled or exceeded the current amortized cost basis of the security.

The following tables present a roll forward of the allowance for expected credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

ProAssurance's investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries were as follows:


	March 31, 2024	Carrying Value
(In thousands)	Percentage Ownership	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships	See below	$	562	$	666

All other investments, primarily investment fund LPs/LLCs	See below	278,369		276,090
		$	278,931	$	276,756

Qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnership interests held by ProAssurance generate investment returns by providing tax benefits to fund investors in the form of tax credits and project operating losses. The carrying value of these investments reflects ProAssurance's total commitments (both funded and unfunded) to the partnerships, less any amortization. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ProAssurance did not have an ownership percentage greater than 20% in any tax credit partnership interests. Since ProAssurance has the ability to exert influence over the partnerships but does not control them, all are accounted for using the equity method. See further discussion of the entities in which ProAssurance holds passive interests in Note 10.

ProAssurance holds interests in investment fund LPs/LLCs and other equity method investments and LPs/LLCs which are not considered to be investment funds. ProAssurance's ownership percentage relative to four of the LPs/LLCs is greater than 25% at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 which is likely to be reduced as the funds mature and other investors participate in the funds; these investments had a carrying value of $24.0 million at March 31, 2024 and $23.0 million at December 31, 2023. ProAssurance's ownership percentage relative to the remaining investments and LPs/LLCs is less than 25%; these interests had a carrying value of $254.4 million at March 31, 2024 and $253.1 million at December 31, 2023. ProAssurance does not have the ability to exert control over any of these funds.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries included losses from qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships and a historic tax credit partnership. Investment results recorded reflect ProAssurance's allocable portion of partnership operating results. Tax credits reduce income tax expense in the period they are utilized. The results recorded and tax credits recognized related to ProAssurance's tax credit partnership investments were as follows:

ProAssurance accounts for its tax credit partnership investments under the equity method of accounting and records its allocable portion of the operating losses of the underlying properties based on estimates provided by the partnerships. For the Company's qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships, it adjusts its estimates of their allocable portion of operating losses periodically as actual operating results of the underlying properties become available. The primary benefits of tax credits and tax-deductible operating losses from the historic tax credit partnerships are earned in a short period with potential for additional cash flows extending over several years. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated a nominal amount of tax credits from its tax credit partnership investments, which were deferred and are expected to be utilized in future periods. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $52.7 million of available tax credit carryforwards generated from its investments in tax credit partnerships which they expect to utilize in future periods.

Tax credits provided by the underlying projects of the Company's historic tax credit partnership are typically available in the tax year in which the project is put into active service, whereas the tax credits provided by qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships are provided over approximately a ten-year period.

Net Investment Gains (Losses)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, ProAssurance recognized $0.9 million of credit-related impairment losses in earnings related to a corporate bond in the consumer sector as well as an asset-backed security. The Company recognized non-credit impairment losses in OCI of $0.6 million related to a corporate bond during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, ProAssurance recognized credit-related impairment losses in earnings of $2.9 million related to two corporate bonds in the financial sector. The Company did not recognize any non-credit impairment losses in OCI during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

4. Income Taxes

For interim periods, ProAssurance generally utilizes the estimated annual effective tax rate method under which the Company determines its provision (benefit) for income taxes based on the current estimate of its annual effective tax rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we utilized the estimated annual effective tax rate method. Under this method, items which are unusual, infrequent, or that cannot be reliably estimated are considered in the effective tax rate in the period in which the item is included in income, and are referred to as discrete items. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the provision for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the estimated tax rate differential between the Company's actual effective tax rate and its projected annual effective tax rate as calculated under the estimated annual effective tax rate method and, to a lesser extent, the effects of tax-favored income. In addition, the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was impacted by the $2.0 million decrease in the contingent consideration liability related to the NORCAL acquisition, all of which was non-taxable. See further discussion on the Company's contingent consideration in Note 2 and Note 6.

ProAssurance had a liability for U.S. federal and U.K. income taxes carried as a part of other liabilities of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and $4.0 million as of December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which is included in the total liability for U.S. federal and U.K. income taxes, was $5.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, which included an accrued liability for interest of approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

5. Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The reserve for losses is established based on estimates of individual claims and actuarially determined estimates of future losses based on ProAssurance’s past loss experience, available industry data and projections as to future claims frequency, severity, inflationary trends and settlement patterns. Estimating the reserve, particularly the reserve appropriate for liability exposures, is a complex process. For a high proportion of the risks insured or reinsured by ProAssurance, claims may be resolved over an extended period of time, often five years or more, and may be subject to litigation. Estimating losses requires ProAssurance to make and revise judgments and assessments regarding multiple uncertainties over an extended period of time. As a result, the reserve estimate may vary considerably from the eventual outcome. The assumptions used in establishing ProAssurance’s reserve are regularly reviewed and updated by management as new data becomes available. Changes to estimates of previously established reserves are included in earnings in the period in which the estimate is changed. For additional information regarding ProAssurance's reserve for losses, see Note 1 and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

Activity in the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses is summarized as follows:


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2024		Three Months Ended March 31, 2023		Year Ended December 31, 2023
Balance, beginning of year	$	3,401,281	$	3,471,147	$	3,471,147

(Favorable) unfavorable development of reserves established in prior years, net(1)	(416)		7,056		5,646
Total	194,694		205,296		800,494
Paid related to:
Current year	(12,867)		(11,052)		(101,996)
Prior years	(202,180)		(211,916)		(782,048)
Total paid	(215,047)		(222,968)		(884,044)
Net balance, end of period	2,935,355		3,021,586		2,955,708
Plus reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses	447,157		447,693		445,573
Balance, end of period	$	3,382,512	$	3,469,279	$	3,401,281

(1) Net prior year reserve development recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 as well as the year ended December 31, 2023 included $1.7 million, $2.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of amortization of the purchase accounting fair value adjustment on NORCAL's assumed net reserve and amortization of the negative VOBA associated with NORCAL's DDR reserve which is recorded as a reduction to prior accident year net losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Estimating liability reserves is complex and requires the use of many assumptions. As time passes and ultimate losses for prior years are either known or become subject to a more precise estimation, ProAssurance increases or decreases the reserve estimates established in prior periods.

The consolidated net favorable prior year reserve development recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily reflected:

•Net favorable development recognized in the Specialty P&C segment of $1.7 million related to the amortization of the purchase accounting fair value adjustment on NORCAL's assumed net reserve and amortization of the negative VOBA associated with NORCAL's DDR reserve which is recorded as a reduction to prior accident year net losses and loss adjustment expenses.

•Consolidated net favorable loss development recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was partially offset by net unfavorable reserve development of $0.9 million recognized in the Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment and unfavorable reserve development of $0.4 million attributable to the Company's Lloyd’s Syndicates operations in the Specialty P&C segment. The unfavorable development in the Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance

March 31, 2024

segment includes net favorable development in the workers' compensation business of $0.5 million that was more than offset by net unfavorable development of $1.4 million in the medical professional liability business related to higher than expected claim frequency in on program in which the Company does not participate in the underwriting results.

For additional information regarding ProAssurance's prior year reserve development recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2023, see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's March 31, 2023 report on Form 10-Q and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K, respectively.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

ProAssurance is involved in various legal actions related to insurance policies and claims handling including, but not limited to, claims asserted by policyholders. These types of legal actions arise in the Company's ordinary course of business and, in accordance with GAAP for insurance entities, are considered as a part of the Company's loss reserving process, which is described in detail under the heading "Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses" in the Accounting Policies section in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. ProAssurance also has other direct actions against the Company unrelated to its claims activity which are evaluated and accounted for as a part of other liabilities. For these corporate legal actions, the Company evaluates each case separately and establishes what it believes is an appropriate reserve based on GAAP guidance related to contingent liabilities. As of March 31, 2024, there were no material reserves established for corporate legal actions.

As a member of Lloyd's, ProAssurance has obligations to Syndicate 1729 including FAL requirements. ProAssurance provides FAL to support its previous participation in underwriting years that remain open at Syndicate 1729, which is comprised of investment securities, primarily short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents deposited with Lloyd's with a total fair value of approximately $20.2 million at March 31, 2024 (see Note 3).

ProAssurance has entered into financial instrument transactions that may present off-balance sheet credit risk or market risk. These transactions include a short-term loan commitment and commitments to provide funding to non-public investment entities. Under the short-term loan commitment, ProAssurance has agreed to advance funds on a 30 day basis to a counterparty provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. As of March 31, 2024, ProAssurance had total funding commitments related to non-public investment entities as well as the short-term loan commitment of approximately $161.9 million which included the amount at risk if the full short-term loan is extended and the counterparties default. However, the credit risk associated with the short-term loan commitment is minimal as the counterparties to the contract are highly rated commercial institutions and to-date have been performing in accordance with their contractual obligations. As such, ProAssurance’s expected credit losses associated with this short-term loan commitment were nominal in amount as of March 31, 2024.

ProAssurance entered into a services agreement with a company to provide data analytics services for certain product lines within the Company's MPL book of business. Under the services agreement, the Company has committed to an annual fee of approximately $3.5 million for three years. In addition, the services agreement contains an annual one-year auto-extension feature, in November, unless either party elects to non-renew the services agreement by providing notice at least six-months prior to the end of the contract. In April 2024, ProAssurance provided such notice of termination of the services agreement. As a result, the services agreement will expire on November 30, 2024. ProAssurance incurred operating expenses associated with this services agreement of $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the remaining commitment under this agreement was estimated to be approximately $2.2 million.

The purchase consideration in the NORCAL acquisition included contingent consideration. NORCAL policyholders who elected to receive NORCAL stock and tender it to ProAssurance are eligible for a share of contingent consideration in an amount of up to approximately $84 million. As defined in the purchase agreement, the contingent consideration is dependent upon the after-tax development of NORCAL's ultimate net losses for accident years ended on or before December 31, 2020 determined as of December 31, 2023 by a mutually agreed upon independent actuarial consultant. This independent actuarial consultant has until June 30, 2024 to complete their estimate. As of May 1, 2024, the independent actuarial consultant had not completed their estimate. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration liability was $6.5 million carried at fair value utilizing a stochastic model. This estimate of fair value does not guarantee nor suggest that contingent consideration will ultimately be paid, and any amounts ultimately paid by the Company may be greater than or less than the $6.5 million current fair value estimate. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's analysis of NORCAL's reserves related to accident years 2020 and prior suggests that no contingent consideration will be due; however, the actual amount due to be paid, if any, will be determined based on analysis to be performed by an independent actuary, as previously discussed. This remaining uncertainty is a significant component in the determination of the fair value of the liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See further discussion around the contingent consideration in Note 2.

Additional Information

For additional information regarding ProAssurance's debt, see Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

8. Derivatives

ProAssurance is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business and investment activities. ProAssurance utilizes derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy to reduce the market risk related to fluctuations in future interest rates associated with a portion of its variable-rate debt. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K for the Company's accounting policy regarding derivative instruments.

To manage the Company's exposure to variability in cash flows of forecasted interest payments attributable to variability in the selected base rates on borrowings under both the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan, ProAssurance entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements ("Interest Rate Swaps") on May 2, 2023, each with an effective date of December 29, 2023 and a maturity date of March 31, 2028. As ProAssurance's Interest Rate Swaps are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps are recorded in AOCI, net of tax, and are reclassified into earnings when the hedged cash flows impact earnings. The Interest Rate Swap hedging the variability in cash flows associated with interest payments on the Revolving Credit Agreement will have a constant $125 million notional amount throughout the term of the swap, while the Interest Rate Swap hedging the variability in cash flows associated with interest payments on the Term Loan will have an amortizing $125 million notional amount, which is designed to match the outstanding principal on the Term Loan throughout the term of the swap. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan will accrue interest at a selected base rate, adjusted by a margin. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the base rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan to 3.187% and 3.207%, respectively. The margin component of the interest rate, which can vary from 0% to 2.375%, will remain variable and is based on ProAssurance’s debt to capitalization ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the margin component of the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan was 2.23% and 2.35%, respectively, based on ProAssurance's debt to capitalization ratio as of December 31, 2023 resulting in a total interest rate of 5.42% and 5.56%, respectively, including the effect of the Interest Rate Swaps on the base rate. Additional information regarding the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan is provided in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

ProAssurance received cash collateral from the counterparty to secure the net present value of future cash flows associated with the Interest Rate Swaps which is reflected as a component of other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Those cash collateral balances were $9.1 million and $4.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of the volume and fair value position of the Interest Rate Swaps as well as the reporting location in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments	Location in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income	2024		2023
Interest Rate Swaps	Interest Expense	$	1,073	$	—

At March 31, 2024, management estimates that it will reclassify approximately $4.3 million of pre-tax net gains on the Interest Rate Swaps from AOCI to earnings over the next twelve months, which will be recorded to interest expense. See additional information on gains or losses related to the Interest Rate Swaps reported as a component of AOCI in Note 9.

As a result of the Interest Rate Swaps, ProAssurance is exposed to risk that the counterparty will fail to meet its contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, ProAssurance only enters into derivative contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and monitors their creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2024, the counterparty had an investment grade rating of A and has performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

9. Shareholders’ Equity

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ProAssurance had 100 million shares of authorized common stock and 50 million shares of authorized preferred stock. The Board has the authority to determine provisions for the issuance of preferred shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares.

ProAssurance declared cash dividends of $0.05 per share during the first quarter of 2023 totaling $2.7 million. In light of the price range in which the Company's stock traded in the second quarter of 2023, the Board decided to suspend payment of a quarterly cash dividend. Instead, the Company used available capital to repurchase shares pursuant to the existing share repurchase authorization. Any decision to pay future cash dividends is subject to the Board’s final determination after a comprehensive review of financial performance, future expectations and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance's December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K for additional information.

At March 31, 2024, Board authorizations for the repurchase of common shares or the retirement of outstanding debt of $55.9 million remained available for use. ProAssurance did not repurchase any common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following tables provide a detailed breakout of the components of AOCI and the amounts reclassified from AOCI to net income (loss). The tax effects of all amounts in the tables below, except for an immaterial amount of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities held at the Company's U.K. subsidiary, were computed using the enacted U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21%. OCI included a nominal deferred tax benefit and deferred tax expense of $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The changes in the balance of each component of AOCI for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

(1) ProAssurance entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements ("Interest Rate Swaps") on May 2, 2023, which are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges. See Note 8 for additional information on the Interest Rate Swaps.

10. Variable Interest Entities

ProAssurance holds passive interests in a number of entities that are considered to be VIEs under GAAP guidance. ProAssurance's VIE interests principally consist of interests in LPs/LLCs formed for the purpose of achieving diversified equity and debt returns. ProAssurance's VIE interests, carried as a part of investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, totaled $252.9 million at March 31, 2024 and $250.4 million at December 31, 2023. ProAssurance does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs and thus is not the primary beneficiary. Investments in entities where ProAssurance holds a greater than minor interest but does not hold a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method. Therefore, ProAssurance has not consolidated these VIEs. ProAssurance’s involvement with each of these VIEs is limited to its direct ownership interest in the VIE. Except for the funding commitments disclosed in Note 6, ProAssurance has no arrangements with any of these VIEs to provide other financial support to or on behalf of the VIE. At March 31, 2024, ProAssurance’s maximum loss exposure relative to these investments was limited to the carrying value of ProAssurance’s investment in the VIE.

ProAssurance is the primary beneficiary of PPM RRG. While there is no direct ownership of PPM RRG by ProAssurance, it manages the business operations of PPM RRG through its management services agreement and has effective control of the PPM RRG's Board of Directors through an irrevocable voting proxy. The management services agreement allows ProAssurance to provide management and oversight services to PPM RRG, which includes the ability to make business decisions impacting the operations of PPM RRG. PPM RRG has a $5 million surplus note to NORCAL which is its only source of capital. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $135 million and $142 million of ProAssurance's assets, respectively, and approximately $135 million and $142 million of its liabilities, respectively, included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were related to PPM RRG.

11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Diluted weighted average shares is calculated as basic weighted average shares plus the effect, calculated using the treasury stock method, of assuming that restricted share units and performance share units have vested. The following table provides a reconciliation between the Company's basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding to its diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:


(In thousands, except per share data)	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, basic		51,013		53,987
Dilutive effect of securities:
Restricted Share Units		112		103
Performance Share Units		24		27


Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, diluted		51,149		54,117
Effect of dilutive shares on earnings (loss) per share		$	—	$	—

The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excluded approximately 251,000 of common share equivalents issuable under the Company's stock compensation plans as their effect would have been antidilutive. There were no antidilutive common share equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Dilutive common share equivalents are reflected in the earnings (loss) per share calculation while antidilutive common share equivalents are not reflected in the earnings (loss) per share calculation. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, all incremental common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.

12. Segment Information

ProAssurance's segments are based on the Company's internal management reporting structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company's CODM to determine resource allocation and assess operating performance. The Company continually assesses its internal management reporting structure and information evaluated by its CODM to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its segment reporting structure.

Segment Reorganization

Effective September 2023, ProAssurance elected to discontinue its participation in the results of Syndicate 1729 beginning with the 2024 underwriting year. The results from the Company's participation in Syndicate 1729 from open underwriting years prior to 2024 will continue to earn out pro rata over the entire policy period of the underlying business. Due to the quarter lag, the Company's ceased participation in Syndicate 1729 will begin to be reflected in its results in the second quarter of 2024.

During the third quarter of 2023, ProAssurance reorganized the financial results evaluated by its CODM; therefore, ProAssurance changed its operating and reportable segments to align with how the CODM currently oversees the business, allocates resources and evaluates operating performance. As a result, ProAssurance now reports the underwriting results from its participation in Lloyd’s Syndicates in the Specialty P&C segment and the investment results of assets solely allocated to its Lloyd's Syndicate operations and U.K. income taxes in the Corporate segment. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The segment reorganization had no impact on previously reported consolidated financial results.

The Company operates in four segments that are organized around the nature of the products and services provided: Specialty P&C, Workers' Compensation Insurance, Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance and Corporate. Additional information regarding ProAssurance's segments is included in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. A description of each of ProAssurance's four operating and reportable segments follows.

•Specialty P&C primarily includes medical professional liability insurance and medical technology liability insurance. The Specialty P&C segment also includes the underwriting results from ProAssurance's participation in Lloyd's of London Syndicate 1729 and Syndicate 6131.

•Workers' Compensation Insurance includes workers' compensation insurance products which are provided primarily to employers with 1,000 or fewer employees.

•Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance includes the results (underwriting profit or loss, plus investment results, net of U.S. federal income taxes) of SPCs at Inova Re and Eastern Re, the Company's Cayman Islands SPC operations.

•Corporate includes ProAssurance's investment operations excluding those reported in the Company's Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment. In addition, this segment includes corporate expenses, interest expense, U.S. and U.K. income taxes and non-premium revenues generated outside of the Company's insurance entities.

The accounting policies of the segments are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in ProAssurance’s December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. ProAssurance evaluates the performance of its Specialty P&C and Workers' Compensation Insurance segments based on before tax underwriting profit or loss. ProAssurance evaluates the performance of its Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment based on operating profit or loss, which includes investment results of investment assets solely allocated to SPC operations, net of U.S. federal income taxes. Performance of the Corporate segment is evaluated based on the contribution made to consolidated after-tax results. ProAssurance accounts for inter-segment transactions as if the transactions were to third parties at current market prices. Assets are not allocated to segments because investments, other than the investments discussed above that are solely allocated to the Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment, and other assets are not managed at the segment level. The tabular information that follows shows the financial results of the Company's reportable segments reconciled to results reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. ProAssurance does not consider goodwill or intangible asset impairments, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration or transaction-related costs for completed business combinations, including any related tax impacts, in assessing the financial performance of its operating and reportable segments, and thus are included in the reconciliation of segment results to consolidated results.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to those statements which accompany this report. Throughout the discussion we use certain terms and abbreviations, which can be found in the Glossary of Terms and Acronyms at the beginning of this report. In addition, a glossary of insurance terms and phrases is available on the investor section of our website. Throughout the discussion, references to "ProAssurance," "PRA," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to ProAssurance Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The discussion contains certain forward-looking information that involves significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties. As discussed under the heading "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," our actual financial condition and results of operations could differ significantly from these forward-looking statements.

ProAssurance Overview

ProAssurance Corporation is a holding company for property and casualty insurance companies. Our insurance subsidiaries provide medical professional liability insurance, liability insurance for medical technology and life sciences risks and workers' compensation insurance.

We have also provided capital to Syndicate 1729 at Lloyd's of London to support our previous participation in underwriting years that remain open. Effective September 2023, we elected to discontinue our participation in the results of Syndicate 1729 beginning with the 2024 underwriting year. The results from our participation in Syndicate 1729 from open underwriting years prior to 2024 will continue to earn out pro rata over the entire policy period of the underlying business. Due to the quarter lag, our ceased participation in Syndicate 1729 will begin to be reflected in our results in the second quarter of 2024.

Our operating segments are based on our internal management reporting structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by our CODM to determine resource allocation and assess operating performance. As a result of our decision to no longer participate in the results of Syndicate 1729 beginning with the 2024 underwriting year, we reorganized our segment reporting during the third quarter of 2023 to align with how our CODM currently oversees the business, allocates resources and evaluates operating performance and, as a result, the number of our operating and reportable segments decreased from five to four: Specialty P&C, Workers' Compensation Insurance, Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance and Corporate. As a result of the segment reorganization, we now report the underwriting results from our participation in Lloyd’s Syndicates in the Specialty P&C segment and the investment results of assets solely allocated to our Lloyd's Syndicate operations and U.K. income taxes in our Corporate segment. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation and the segment reorganization had no impact on previously reported consolidated financial results.

Additional information on ProAssurance's four operating and reportable segments is included in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K and in the Segment Results sections herein that follow.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts we report on those statements. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on current and historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We can make no assurance that actual results will conform to our estimates and assumptions; reported results of operations may be materially affected by changes in these estimates and assumptions. A detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our Critical Accounting Estimates section in Item 7 of our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

Management considers the following accounting estimates to be critical because they involve significant judgment by management and those judgments could result in a material effect on our financial statements:

•Reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses

•Reinsurance

•Valuation of investments and impairment of securities

•Income taxes

Table of Contents

Estimation of Taxes

For interim periods, we generally utilize the estimated annual effective tax rate method under which we determine our provision (benefit) for income taxes based on the current estimate of our annual effective tax rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we utilized the estimated annual effective tax rate method. Under this method, items which are unusual, infrequent, or that cannot be reliably estimated are considered in the effective tax rate in the period in which the item is included in income and are referred to as discrete items. See further discussion on this method in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Overview

ProAssurance Corporation is a holding company and is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. As a holding company, our principal source of external revenue is our investment revenues. In addition, dividends from our operating subsidiaries represent another source of funds for our obligations, including debt service and shareholder dividends, if declared. We also charge our core domestic operating subsidiaries within our Specialty P&C and Workers' Compensation Insurance segments a management fee based on the extent to which services are provided to the subsidiary and the amount of gross premium written by the subsidiary. At March 31, 2024, we held cash and liquid investments of approximately $52 million outside our insurance subsidiaries that were available for use without regulatory approval or other restriction. As of May 1, 2024, we also have an additional $125 million in permitted borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Agreement as well as the possibility of a $50 million accordion feature, if successfully subscribed, as discussed in this section under the heading "Debt."

Our operating subsidiaries have not paid us any dividends during 2024. Our insurance subsidiaries, in the aggregate, are permitted to pay dividends of approximately $145 million over the remainder of 2024 without prior approval of state insurance regulators. However, the payment of any dividend requires prior notice to the insurance regulator in the state of domicile, and the regulator may reduce or prevent the dividend if, in its judgment, payment of the dividend would have an adverse effect on the surplus of the insurance subsidiary. We make the decision to pay dividends from an insurance subsidiary based on the capital needs of that subsidiary and may pay less than the permitted dividend or may also request permission to pay an additional amount (an extraordinary dividend).

Cash Flows

Cash flows between periods compare as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
(In thousands)	2024		2023		Change
Net cash provided (used) by:
Operating activities	$	(11,649)	$	(29,843)	$	18,194
Investing activities	12,120		59,663		(47,543)
Financing activities	(969)		(3,345)		2,376
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(498)	$	26,475	$	(26,973)

The principal components of our operating cash flows are the excess of premiums collected and net investment income over losses paid and operating costs, including income taxes. Timing delays exist between the collection of premiums and the payment of losses associated with the premiums. Premiums are generally collected within the twelve-month period after the policy is written, while our claim payments are generally paid over a more extended period of time. Likewise, timing delays exist between the payment of claims and the collection of any associated reinsurance recoveries.

The increase in operating cash flows of $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to:

•A decrease in paid losses of $23.9 million driven by our Specialty P&C segment due to the timing of loss payments driven by a lower number of claims resolved with large indemnity payments as compared to the prior year period. Claim costs in our MPL line of business continue to be pressured by social inflation and higher than anticipated loss severity trends.

•A decrease in cash paid for operating expenses of $5.7 million driven by a decrease in compensation-related costs primarily as a result of a decrease in paid bonuses and timing differences related to a decrease in agency commissions in our Specialty P&C segment, partially offset by an increase in paid interest due to an increase in the

borrowings on our Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan to refinance our Senior Notes that matured in November 2023.

•An increase in cash received from investment income of $3.4 million driven by higher average book yields as we continue to reinvest at higher rates as our portfolio matures.

The increase in operating cash flows was partially offset by:

•The effect of a tax refund of approximately $11.7 million which we received in February 2023 (see additional discussion within this section under the heading "Taxes" that follows).

•A decrease in net premium receipts of $2.4 million primarily driven by our Specialty P&C and Workers' Compensation Insurance segments due to the competitive market conditions on terms and pricing, partially offset by a decrease in cash paid to reinsurers primarily associated with our excess of loss reinsurance arrangements.

The remaining variance in operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 was composed of individually insignificant components.

We manage our investing cash flows to ensure that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations, taking into consideration the timing of cash flows from our investments, including interest payments, dividends and principal payments, as well as the expected cash flows to be generated by our operations as discussed in this section under the heading "Investing Activities and Related Cash Flows."

Our financing cash flows are primarily comprised of dividend payments in the prior year period (see additional discussion on the Board's decision to suspend payment of a quarterly cash dividend of in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Reinsurance

Within our Specialty P&C segment, we use insurance and reinsurance (collectively, “reinsurance”) to provide capacity to write larger limits of liability, to provide reimbursement for losses incurred under the higher limit coverages we offer and to provide protection against losses in excess of policy limits. Within our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment, we use reinsurance to reduce our net liability on individual risks, to mitigate the effect of significant loss occurrences (including catastrophic events), to stabilize underwriting results and to increase underwriting capacity by decreasing leverage. In both our Specialty P&C and Workers' Compensation Insurance segments, we use reinsurance in risk sharing arrangements to align our objectives with those of our strategic business partners and to provide custom insurance solutions for large customer groups. The discussion in our Liquidity section under the same heading in Item 7 of our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K includes additional information regarding our reinsurance agreements.

Our healthcare professional liability and Medical Technology Liability treaties renew annually on October 1 and our Workers' Compensation treaty renews annually on May 1. The significant coverages provided by our current excess of loss reinsurance agreements are depicted in the following table.

Excess of Loss Reinsurance Agreements

Healthcare Professional Liability

Medical Technology & Life Sciences Products

Workers' Compensation - Traditional

(1) Effective October 1, 2020, one prepaid limit reinstatement of $21M and a second limit reinstatement of up to $21M for the second layer, subject to reinstatement premium, which attaches after the first reinstatement has been completely exhausted. All limit reinstatements thereafter require no additional premium. Effective October 1, 2021, limits can be reinstated a maximum of four times.

(2) Prior to October 1, 2020, retention was $1M.

(3) Historically, retention has ranged from 0% to 32.5%.

(4) Historically, retention has ranged from $1M to $2M.

(5) Subject to a limit of $20M per individual claimant. If an individual loss were to exceed this level the Company would retain this excess exposure.

(6) Subject to an AAD where retention is 3.5% of subject earned premium in annual losses otherwise recoverable in excess of the $500K retention per loss occurrence.

Taxes

We are subject to the tax laws and regulations of the U.S., Cayman Islands and U.K. We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return that includes the parent company and its U.S. subsidiaries, except for ProAssurance American Mutual, A Risk Retention Group. Our filing obligations include a requirement to make quarterly payments of estimated taxes to the IRS using the corporate tax rate effective for the tax year. We did not make any quarterly estimated tax payments during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023 as we expect NOL carryforwards to offset any income taxes due.

As a result of the CARES Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020, we were permitted to carryback NOLs generated in tax years 2019 and 2020 for up to five years. We generated an NOL of approximately $33.3 million from the 2020 tax year that was carried back to the 2015 tax year that resulted in a tax refund of approximately $11.7 million which was received in February 2023. In addition, the CARES Act included the initial version of the ERC which was extended and expanded in December 2020 and March 2021. See further discussion of the ERC in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. As an eligible employer under the provisions of the CARES Act, NORCAL filed a claim for a payroll tax refund of approximately $3.8 million during the second quarter of 2023, based on eligible wages paid during 2020.

As a result of the NORCAL acquisition, we have U.S. federal NOL carryforwards, which were approximately $32.3 million as of March 31, 2024. These NOL carryforwards are subject to limitation by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and will begin to expire in 2035.

A detailed listing of our investment holdings as of March 31, 2024 is located under the Financial Information heading on the Investor Relations page of our website which can be reached directly at https://investor.proassurance.com/financial-information/quarterly-investment-supplements/default.aspx or through links from the Investor Relations section of our website, investor.proassurance.com.

We manage our investments to ensure that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations, taking into consideration the timing of cash flows from our investments, including interest payments, dividends and principal payments, as well as the expected cash flows to be generated or used by our operations. In addition to the interest and dividends we will receive from our investments, we anticipate that between $80 million and $160 million of our portfolio will mature (or be paid down) each quarter over the next twelve months and become available, if needed, to meet our cash flow requirements. In response to higher severity trends and an increase in paid losses in our MPL line of business and our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment, we reduced the rate of reinvestment of these cash flows to allow for additional cash availability. The primary outflow of cash at our insurance subsidiaries is related to paid losses and operating costs, including income taxes. The payment of individual claims cannot be predicted with certainty; therefore, we rely upon the history of paid claims in estimating the timing of future claims payments with consideration given to current and anticipated industry trends and macroeconomic conditions. To the extent that we may have an unanticipated shortfall in cash, we may either liquidate securities or borrow funds under existing borrowing arrangements through our Revolving Credit Agreement and the FHLB system. As of May 1, 2024, $175 million could be made available for use through our Revolving Credit Agreement, as discussed in this section under the heading "Debt." Given the duration of our investments, we do not foresee a shortfall that would require us to meet operating cash needs through additional borrowings. Additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Agreement is detailed in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

At March 31, 2024, our FAL was comprised of investment securities, primarily short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents deposited with Lloyd's which had a fair value of $20 million. Given that we decided to no longer participate in the results of Syndicate 1729 beginning with the 2024 underwriting year, we expect to receive a return of FAL in the future; however, the amount of which cannot be estimated at this time. Additional information regarding our FAL is detailed in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our investment portfolio continues to be primarily composed of high quality fixed income securities with approximately 92% of our fixed maturities being investment grade securities as determined by national rating agencies. The weighted average effective duration of our fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2024 was 3.21 years; the weighted average effective duration of our fixed maturity securities combined with our short-term securities was 3.05 years.

The carrying value and unfunded commitments for certain of our investments were as follows:


	Carrying Value				March 31, 2024
($ in thousands, except expected funding period)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023		Unfunded Commitment		Expected funding period in years
Qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships (1)	$	562	$	666	$	118	3

All other investments, primarily investment fund LPs/LLCs	278,369		276,090		138,385		4
Total	$	278,931	$	276,756	$	138,503
(1) The carrying value reflects our total commitments (both funded and unfunded) to the partnerships, less any amortization, since our initial investment. We fund these investments based on funding schedules maintained by the partnerships.

Investment fund LPs/LLCs are by nature less liquid and may involve more risk than other investments. We manage our risk through diversification of asset class and geographic location. At March 31, 2024, we had investments in 34 separate investment funds with a total carrying value of $278.4 million which represented approximately 6% of our total investments. Our investment fund LPs/LLCs generate earnings from trading portfolios, secured debt, debt securities, multi-strategy funds and private equity investments, and the performance of these LPs/LLCs is affected by the volatility of equity and credit markets. For our investments in LPs/LLCs, we record our allocable portion of the partnership operating income or loss as the results of the LPs/LLCs become available, typically following the end of a reporting period.

Financing Activities and Related Cash Flows

Debt

Our outstanding debt consisted of the following:


($ in thousands)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023

Contribution Certificates	$	179,865	$	179,387
Revolving Credit Agreement	125,000		125,000

NORCAL Insurance Company, successor to NORCAL Mutual Insurance Company, issued Contribution Certificates, which bear interest at 3.0% annually and are due in 2031, to certain NORCAL policyholders in the conversion. The Contribution Certificates have a principal amount of $191 million and were recorded at their fair value of $175 million at the date of the NORCAL acquisition on May 5, 2021. The difference of $16 million between the recorded acquisition date fair value and the principal balance of the Contribution Certificates will be accreted utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the certificates of ten years as an increase to interest expense. Furthermore, interest payments are subject to deferral if we do not receive permission from the California Department of Insurance prior to payment. We received permission from the California Department of Insurance to pay the annual interest payment, which was paid in April 2024. There are no financial covenants associated with these certificates.

On April 28, 2023, we amended our Revolving Credit Agreement, which expires in April 2028 and includes a $125 million delayed draw Term Loan. The Term Loan is available to be drawn during a five year period after closing, subject to customary borrowing conditions. We drew on the Revolving Credit Agreement and funded the Term Loan to refinance our Senior Notes in November 2023. The Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, short-term working capital, share repurchases as authorized by the Board and support for other activities. Our Revolving Credit Agreement permits borrowings of up to $250 million as well as the possibility of a $50 million accordion feature, if successfully subscribed. We are in compliance with the financial covenants of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Additional information regarding our debt is provided in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

To manage our exposure to interest rate risk due to variability in the base rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan, we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements ("Interest Rate Swaps"). Additional information regarding our Interest Rate Swaps is provided in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three of our insurance subsidiaries are members of an FHLB. Through membership, those subsidiaries have access to secured cash advances which can be used for liquidity purposes or other operational needs. In order for us to use FHLB proceeds, regulatory approvals may be required depending on the nature of the transaction. To date, those subsidiaries have not materially utilized their membership for borrowing purposes.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration is measured at fair value on the date of acquisition and remeasured at fair value each subsequent reporting period. Fair value of a liability represents the price that would be paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date considering characteristics specific to the liability. The purchase consideration in the NORCAL acquisition included contingent consideration. NORCAL policyholders who elected to receive NORCAL stock and tender it to ProAssurance are eligible for a share of contingent consideration in an amount of up to approximately $84 million. As defined in the purchase agreement, the contingent consideration is dependent upon the after-tax development of NORCAL's ultimate net losses for accident years ended on or before December 31, 2020 determined as of December 31, 2023 by a mutually agreed upon independent actuarial consultant. This independent actuarial consultant has until June 30, 2024 to complete their estimate. As of May 1, 2024, the independent actuarial consultant had not completed their estimate.

Given the contingent consideration associated with the NORCAL acquisition is dependent upon the after-tax development of NORCAL's ultimate net losses between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2023, we bifurcated changes in the contingent consideration for periods prior to 2024 between fair value changes and, if applicable, changes in estimates of NORCAL's ultimate net losses for accident years 2020 and prior. See further discussion regarding our estimates of ultimate net losses in this

Table of Contents

section under the heading "Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses" in the Critical Accounting Estimates section in Item 7 of our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Changes in the contingent consideration related to fair value are recognized in earnings as a component of net investment gains (losses) and changes in the contingent consideration related to changes in estimates of NORCAL's ultimate net losses for accident years 2020 and prior are recognized in earnings as component of operating expenses.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration liability was $6.5 million carried at fair value utilizing a stochastic model (see Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). This estimate of fair value does not guarantee nor suggest that contingent consideration will ultimately be paid, and any amounts ultimately paid by the Company may be greater than or less than the $6.5 million current fair value estimate. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our analysis of NORCAL's reserves related to accident years 2020 and prior suggests that no contingent consideration will be due; however, the actual amount due to be paid, if any, will be determined based on an analysis to be performed by an independent actuary, as previously discussed. This remaining uncertainty is a significant component in the determination of the fair value of the liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See further discussion around the contingent consideration and the NORCAL acquisition in Note 2 and Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a $2.0 million decrease to the contingent consideration liability comprised of $1.0 million related to the remeasurement of the liability to fair value and $1.0 million related to the impact of unfavorable development recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 on NORCAL's reserves related to accident years 2020 and prior. See further discussion that follows under the heading "Results of Operations."

Executive Summary of Operations

The following sections provide an overview of our consolidated and segment results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. See the Segment Results sections that follow for additional information regarding each segment's results.

As previously discussed under the heading "ProAssurance Overview," we reorganized our segment reporting in the third quarter of 2023. As a result, we now report the underwriting results from our participation in Lloyd’s Syndicates in our Specialty P&C segment and the investment results of assets solely allocated to our Lloyd's Syndicate operations and U.K. income taxes in our Corporate segment. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The segment reorganization had no impact on previously reported consolidated financial results. See further information regarding the segment reorganization in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues

The following table shows our consolidated and segment net premiums earned:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Net premiums earned
Specialty P&C			$	188,888	$	183,684	$	5,204	2.8	%
Workers' Compensation Insurance			41,094		40,803		291		0.7	%
Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance			14,168		15,300		(1,132)		(7.4	%)

Consolidated total			$	244,150	$	239,787	$	4,363	1.8	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our consolidated net premiums earned increased $4.4 million as compared to the same period of 2023.

•For our Specialty P&C segment, net premiums earned increased during the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by the pro rata effect of an increase in the volume of premium written during the preceding twelve months, primarily in our MPL line of business.

•For our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment, net premiums earned remained relatively unchanged for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023.

•Net premiums earned in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment decreased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same respective periods of 2023 due to the continuation of competitive market conditions and the non-renewal of two programs; however, the business written in one of those programs is expected to be renewed as traditional business in our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment. The other program, in which we do not participate in the underwriting results, assumed both workers' compensation insurance and medical professional liability insurance.

The following table shows our consolidated net investment result:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Net investment income			$	33,897	$	30,310	$	3,587	11.8	%
Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries*			2,963		(1,121)		4,084		364.3	%
Net investment result			$	36,860	$	29,189	$	7,671	26.3	%
*Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries includes our share of the operating results of interests we hold in certain LPs/LLCs as well as a nominal amount of operating losses associated with our tax credit partnership investments, which are designed to generate returns in the form of tax credits and tax-deductible project operating losses. We record our allocable portion of the partnership operating income or loss as the results of the LPs/LLCs become available, typically following the end of a reporting period.

Our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by the performance of two LPs/LLCs, which reflected a higher market valuation during the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in our consolidated net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 reflected higher average book yields as we continue to reinvest at higher rates as our portfolio matures.

(1) Consolidated other net investment gains (losses) in the three months ended March 31, 2023 include a gain of $1.0 million reflecting the change in the fair value of contingent consideration issued in connection with the NORCAL acquisition (see Note 2 and Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We do not consider this adjustment in assessing the financial performance of any of our segments and therefore, we have excluded it from the Segment Results sections that follow. See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of our segment results to our consolidated results.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $0.9 million of credit-related impairment losses in earnings related to a corporate bond in the consumer sector as well as an asset-backed security. We recognized non-credit impairment losses in OCI of $0.6 million related to a corporate bond during the 2024 three-month period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized $2.9 million of credit-related impairment losses in earnings related to two corporate bonds in the financial sector. We did not recognize any non-credit impairment losses in OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Additional information regarding investment impairment losses is provided in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We recognized $0.7 million of other net investment gains for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily driven by realized gains from the sale of certain other investments, partially offset by unrealized holding losses resulting from changes in the fair value of our convertible securities. We recognized $5.8 million of other net investment gains for the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven by unrealized holding gains resulting from changes in the fair value of our equity investments and convertible securities.

Consolidated other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 was comprised as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses)			$	1,929	$	(827)	$	2,756	333.3	%
Other			2,026		1,614		412		25.5	%
Other income			$	3,955	$	787	$	3,168	402.5	%

Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses), other income increased for the 2024 three-month period compared to the same period of 2023 driven by the timing of income from claims processing services under a shared risk arrangement in our Specialty P&C segment.

Foreign currency exchange rate changes are primarily related to foreign currency denominated loss reserves associated with premium assumed from an international medical professional liability insured in our Specialty P&C segment. Our participation in this program has grown in recent years which has led to greater volatility in our results of operations even with nominal movements in exchange rates given the size of the reserve. We mitigate foreign exchange exposure by generally matching the currency and duration of associated investments to the corresponding loss reserves. In accordance with GAAP, the impact on the market value of available-for-sale fixed maturities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is reflected as part of OCI. Conversely, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on loss reserves is reflected through net income (loss) as a component of other income. The effect of exchange rate changes on foreign currency denominated loss reserves are reported in our Corporate segment to be consistent with the reporting of the foreign currency denominated invested assets and associated investment income.

Each segment's contribution to the change in our consolidated current accident year net loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 is as follows:


									Increase (Decrease) 2024 versus 2023
(In percentage points)									Comparative three-month periods
Estimated ratio increase (decrease) attributable to:

Specialty P&C									(3.6 pts)
Workers' Compensation Insurance									0.7 pts
Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance									0.1 pts

Decrease in the consolidated current accident year net loss ratio									(2.8 pts)

•The improvement in the current accident year net loss ratio in our Specialty P&C segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven our continued underwriting actions as well as our focus on achieving appropriate pricing leading to a decrease to certain expected loss ratios in our MPL line of business during the first quarter of 2024 and, to a lesser extent, changes in the mix of business.

•The current accident year net loss ratio in our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased as compared to the same period of 2023; however, the current accident year net loss ratio improved 4.3 points from the current accident year net loss ratio for the year ended December 31, 2023 of 81.3% reflecting underwriting actions taken during 2023 and a slight improvement in loss trends. While we continue to reflect higher loss trends that we began to observe in our average cost per claim during the second half of 2023, these trends have improved slightly during the first quarter of 2024, while reported claim frequency trends continue to be lower compared to historical results.The current accident year net loss ratio also reflects the impact of compounded premium rate decreases over the past several years related to the continuation of state loss cost reductions and the competitive workers' compensation market.

•Our current accident year net loss ratio in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023.

In the 2024 three-month period, our consolidated calendar year net loss ratio was lower than our consolidated current accident year net loss ratio due to the recognition of net favorable prior year reserve development, as shown in the previous table. For the 2023 three-month period, our consolidated calendar year net loss ratio was higher than our consolidated current

accident year net loss ratio due to the recognition of net unfavorable prior year reserve development, as shown in the previous table. The following table shows the components of our consolidated net prior accident year reserve development:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Net favorable (unfavorable) reserve development			$	(1,240)	$	(9,566)	$	8,326	(87.0	%)
NORCAL Acquisition - Purchase Accounting Amortization			1,656		2,510		(854)		(34.0	%)
Total net favorable (unfavorable) reserve development			$	416	$	(7,056)	$	7,472	(105.9	%)

•2024: Excluding purchase accounting amortization, net unfavorable reserve development recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to $0.9 million of unfavorable development in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment and $0.4 million of unfavorable development attributable to our Lloyd’s Syndicates operations in our Specialty P&C segment driven by higher than expected losses and development on certain large claims, primarily catastrophe related losses. The net unfavorable development in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment includes favorable development of $0.5 million related to the workers' compensation business which was more than offset by unfavorable development of $1.4 million in the medical professional liability business related to higher than expected claim frequency in one program in which we do not participate in the underwriting results. We elected to non-renew this program effective January 1, 2024.

•2023: Excluding purchase accounting amortization, the net unfavorable reserve development during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was driven by our strengthening of case reserves related to four large claims in our Specialty P&C segment resulting in net unfavorable development of $10.1 million, $7.5 million of which related to NORCAL's accident years 2016 and 2020. The contingent consideration associated with the NORCAL acquisition is dependent upon the after-tax development of NORCAL’s 2020 and prior accident year reserves from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2023. This adjustment to NORCAL's reserves contributed to a decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability of $1.0 million which was recorded as an offset to operating expenses in the Specialty P&C segment (see additional discussion on the Contingent Consideration in the Financing Activities and Related Cash Flows section under the heading "Contingent Consideration"). The net unfavorable development also reflected unfavorable development of $1.2 million in our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment attributable to one large claim from the 1997 accident year, partially offset by net favorable development recognized in the Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment and Lloyd's Syndicate operations in our Specialty P&C segment of $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Our consolidated and segment underwriting expense ratios were as follows:

Table of Contents

The change in our consolidated underwriting expense ratio for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily attributable to the following:


									Increase (Decrease) 2024 versus 2023
(In percentage points)									Comparative three-month periods
Estimated ratio increase (decrease) attributable to:
Change in Net Premiums Earned and DPAC amortization									0.2 pts
Employee Retention Credit									1.6 pts
Contingent Consideration Remeasurement Adjustment									0.4 pts



All other, net									1.4 pts
Increase in the underwriting expense ratio									3.6 pts

•Excluding the impact of the items specifically identified in the table above, our consolidated underwriting expense ratio increased by 1.4 percentage points for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by an increase in operating expenses in our Specialty P&C and Workers' Compensation segments driven by an increase in compensation-related costs.

•As shown in the previous table, our consolidated underwriting expense ratio for the 2024 three-month period reflected the impact of the change in DPAC amortization which was relatively in line with the corresponding change in net premiums earned as compared to the same period of 2023.

•As shown in the previous table, the change in our consolidated underwriting expense ratio for the 2024 three-month period also reflected the prior year impact of a payroll tax refund of $3.8 million recognized in the first quarter of 2023. This refund was recorded as a reduction to operating expenses in our Specialty P&C segment and related to the employee retention credit available to us under the CARES Act, which resulted in a 1.6 percentage point increase in the current period ratio as compared to the prior year period ratio. See additional discussion on the ERC in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K and previous discussion in the Liquidity section under the heading "Taxes."

•As shown in the previous table, the change in our consolidated underwriting expense ratio for the 2024 three-month period reflected the prior year impact of the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability associated with the NORCAL acquisition, which resulted in a 0.4 percentage point increase in our current period ratio as compared to the prior year period ratio. As previously discussed, we recorded a reduction to operating expenses of $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2023 related to the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability associated with the NORCAL acquisition due to unfavorable development recognized on NORCAL's 2020 and prior accident year reserves in our Specialty P&C segment. See additional discussion on the Contingent Consideration in the Financing Activities and Related Cash Flows section under the heading "Contingent Consideration."

Taxes

Our consolidated provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:


($ in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31
	2024		2023		Change
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	5,318	$	(8,346)	$	13,664	163.7	%
Income tax expense (benefit)	692		(2,172)		2,864		131.9	%
Net income (loss)	$	4,626	$	(6,174)	$	10,800	174.9	%
Effective tax rate	13.0%		26.0%		(13.0 pts)

	2024		2023
Projected annual effective tax rate	17.3	%	19.9	%
Tax effect of discrete items	(4.3	%)	6.1	%
Total effective tax rate	13.0	%	26.0	%

Table of Contents

We recognized income tax expense of $0.7 million and an income tax benefit of $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively; however, the comparability of our effective tax rates is impacted by the consolidated pre-tax income recognized during the 2024 three-month period as compared to the consolidated pre-tax loss recognized during the 2023 three-month period. See discussion of notable items impacting our effective tax rate in the Segment Results - Corporate section that follows under the heading "Taxes."

Our projected annual effective tax rates were 17.3% and 19.9% as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, before discrete items were considered. As shown in the table above, these discrete items decreased our effective tax rate by 4.3% for the 2024 three-month period and increased our effective tax rate by 6.1% for the 2023 three-month period and were comprised of individually insignificant components.

Operating Ratio

Our operating ratio is our combined ratio, less our investment income ratio. This ratio provides the combined effect of underwriting profitability and investment income. Our operating ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
Combined ratio		111.6	%	113.9	%	(2.3	pts)
Less: investment income ratio		13.9	%	12.6	%	1.3	pts
Operating ratio		97.7	%	101.3	%	(3.6	pts)

The primary drivers of the change in our operating ratio were as follows:


									Increase (Decrease) 2024 versus 2023
(In percentage points)									Comparative three-month periods
Estimated ratio increase (decrease) attributable to:
Change in Net Premiums Earned and DPAC amortization									0.2 pts
NORCAL Acquisition - Purchase Accounting Amortization									0.3 pts
Contingent Consideration Remeasurement Adjustment									0.4 pts
Employee Retention Credit									1.6 pts
Investment Income									(1.3 pts)
Change in Prior Accident Year Reserve Development (1)									(3.4 pts)


All other, net									(1.4 pts)
Decrease in the operating ratio									(3.6 pts)
(1) Excludes the impact of purchase accounting amortization on prior accident year reserve development.

Excluding the impact of the items specifically identified in the table above, our operating ratio for the 2024 three-month period improved 1.4 percentage points as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by an improvement in the current accident year net loss ratio in our Specialty P&C segment, partially offset by an increase in the consolidated expense ratio. See previous discussion in this section under the heading "Expenses" and further discussion in our Segment Results sections that follow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss)

Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is a financial measure that is widely used to evaluate performance within the insurance sector. In calculating Non-GAAP operating income (loss), we have excluded the effects of the items listed in the following table that do not reflect normal results. We believe Non-GAAP operating income (loss) presents a useful view of the performance of our insurance operations; however, it should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP.

The following table is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Non-GAAP operating income (loss):


	Three Months Ended March 31
(In thousands, except per share data)		2024		2023
Net income (loss)		$	4,626	$	(6,174)
Items excluded in the calculation of Non-GAAP operating income (loss):
Net investment (gains) losses (1)		268		(2,912)
Net investment gains (losses) attributable to SPCs which no profit/loss is retained (2)		1,151		913


Foreign currency exchange rate (gains) losses (3)		(1,929)		827

Guaranty fund assessments (recoupments)		87		(74)


Pre-tax effect of exclusions		(423)		(1,246)

Tax effect, at 21% (4)		(26)		2
After-tax effect of exclusions		(449)		(1,244)
Non-GAAP operating income (loss)		$	4,177	$	(7,418)




Per diluted common share:
Net income (loss)		$	0.09	$	(0.11)
Effect of exclusions		(0.01)		(0.03)
Non-GAAP operating income (loss) per diluted common share		$	0.08	$	(0.14)
(1) Net investment gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 include a gain of $1.0 million related to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration issued in connection with the NORCAL acquisition. We have excluded this adjustment as it does not reflect normal operating results. See further discussion around the contingent consideration in Notes 2 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) Net investment gains (losses) on investments related to SPCs are recognized in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment. SPC results, including any net investment gain or loss, that are attributable to external cell participants are reflected in the SPC dividend expense (income). To be consistent with our exclusion of net investment gains (losses) recognized in earnings, we are excluding the portion of net investment gains (losses) that is included in the SPC dividend expense (income) which is attributable to the external cell participants.

(3) Foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses) relate to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on foreign currency denominated loss reserves predominately associated with premium assumed from an international medical professional liability insured in our Specialty P&C segment. Our participation in this program has grown in recent years which has led to greater volatility in our results of operations even with nominal movements in exchange rates given the size of the reserve. We mitigate foreign exchange rate exposure on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet by generally matching the currency and duration of associated investments to the corresponding loss reserves. In accordance with GAAP, the impact on the market value of available-for-sale fixed maturities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is reflected as a part of OCI. Conversely, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on loss reserves is reflected through net income (loss) as a component of other income. Therefore, we believe foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in isolation are not indicative of our operating performance.
(4) The 21% rate is the annual expected statutory tax rate associated with the taxable or tax deductible items listed above. We utilized the estimated annual effective tax rate method for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. See further discussion on this method in the Critical Accounting Estimates section under the heading "Estimation of Taxes" and in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the 2024 and 2023 periods, our effective tax rate was applied to these items in calculating net income (loss), excluding net investment gains (losses) and related adjustments which were treated as discrete items and were tax effected at the annual expected statutory tax rate (21%) in the period they were included in our consolidated tax provision and net income (loss). The 2023 gain related to the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration was non-taxable and therefore had no associated income tax impact. The taxes associated with the net investment gains (losses) related to SPCs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment are paid by the individual SPCs and are not included in our consolidated tax provision or net income (loss); therefore, both the net investment gains (losses) from our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment and the adjustment to exclude the portion of net investment gains (losses) included in the SPC dividend expense (income) in the table above are not tax effected.

Non-GAAP Operating ROE

Non-GAAP operating ROE is a financial measure that is calculated as annualized Non-GAAP operating income (loss) for the period divided by the average of beginning and ending total GAAP shareholders’ equity. As previously discussed, in calculating Non-GAAP operating income (loss), we have excluded the effects of certain items that do not reflect normal results. Non-GAAP operating ROE measures the overall after-tax profitability of our insurance operations and shows how efficiently capital is being used; however, it should be considered in conjunction with ROE computed in accordance with GAAP. The following table is a reconciliation of ROE to Non-GAAP operating ROE for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
ROE(1)		1.7	%	(2.5	%)	4.2	pts
Pre-tax effect of items excluded in the calculation of Non-GAAP operating ROE		(0.2	%)	(0.1	%)	(0.1	pts)
Tax effect, at 21%(2)		—	%	—	%	—	pts
Non-GAAP operating ROE		1.5	%	(2.6	%)	4.1	pts
(1) The change in the fair value of contingent consideration issued in connection with the NORCAL acquisition was not annualized in our quarterly calculation of ROE for the 2023 three-month period as this item is considered non-recurring in nature.
(2) The 21% rate is the annual expected statutory tax rate associated with the taxable or tax deductible items. See further discussion in footnote 4 in this section under the heading "Non-GAAP Operating Income."

Non-GAAP operating ROE for the 2024 three-month period increased by 4.1 percentage points as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by the prior year effect of unfavorable prior accident year reserve development in our Specialty P&C and Workers' Compensation Insurance segments, an increase in our net investment result and, to a lesser extent, an improvement in the current accident year net loss ratio in our Specialty P&C segment. See previous discussions in this section under the headings "Executive Summary of Operations" and further discussion in our Segment Results sections that follow.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Book Value per Share

Book value per share is calculated as total GAAP shareholders’ equity divided by the total number of common shares outstanding at the balance sheet date. This ratio measures the net worth of the Company to shareholders on a per share basis.

Non-GAAP adjusted book value per share is a Non-GAAP measure widely used within the insurance sector and is calculated as shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding at the balance sheet date. This Non-GAAP calculation measures the net worth of the Company to shareholders on a per share basis excluding AOCI to eliminate the temporary and potentially significant effects of fluctuations in interest rates on our fixed income portfolio; however, it should be considered in conjunction with book value per share computed in accordance with GAAP. Higher interest rates have led to significant unrealized holding losses on our available-for-sale fixed maturity investments resulting in volatility in AOCI in 2023 and 2024. See Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The following table is a reconciliation of our book value per share to Non-GAAP adjusted book value per share at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024:


	Book Value Per Share
Book Value Per Share at December 31, 2023	$	21.82
Less: AOCI Per Share(1)	(4.01)
Non-GAAP Adjusted Book Value Per Share at December 31, 2023	25.83
Increase (decrease) to Non-GAAP Adjusted Book Value Per Share during the three months ended March 31, 2024 attributable to:



Net income (loss)	0.09

Other(2)	(0.04)
Non-GAAP Adjusted Book Value Per Share at March 31, 2024	25.88
Add: AOCI Per Share(1)	(4.06)
Book Value Per Share at March 31, 2024	$	21.82
(1) Primarily the impact of accumulated unrealized investment gains (losses) on our available-for-sale fixed maturity investments. See Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.


(2) Includes the impact of share-based compensation.

Segment Results - Specialty Property & Casualty

Our Specialty P&C segment primarily focuses on medical professional liability insurance and medical technology liability insurance as discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. As previously discussed under the heading "ProAssurance Overview," we reorganized our segment reporting in the third quarter of 2023. As a result, the underwriting results from our participation in the results of Syndicate 1729 and Syndicate 6131 at Lloyd's of London which were previously reported in our Lloyd’s Syndicates segment are now reported in our Specialty P&C segment. We normally report results from our involvement in Lloyd's Syndicates on a quarter lag, except when information is available that is material to the current period. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation and the segment reorganization had no impact on previously reported consolidated financial results. See further information regarding the segment reorganization in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment results reflected pre-tax underwriting profit or loss from these insurance lines and included the amortization of certain purchase accounting adjustments. Segment results included the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024			2023			Change
Net premiums written			$	218,699		$	217,390		$	1,309	0.6	%

Net loss ratio			81.0%			90.4%			(9.4 pts)
Underwriting expense ratio			27.0%			23.2%			3.8 pts

Premiums Written

Changes in our premium volume within our Specialty P&C segment are generally driven by three primary factors: (1) the amount of new business written, (2) our retention of existing business and (3) the premium charged for business that is renewed, which is affected by rates charged and by the amount and type of coverage an insured chooses to purchase. In addition, premium volume may periodically be affected by shifts in the timing of renewals between periods.

The medical professional liability market, which accounts for a majority of the revenues in this segment, remains challenging as physicians continue joining hospitals or larger group practices and, therefore, are no longer purchasing individual or group policies in the standard market. In addition, some competitors have chosen to compete primarily on price. Both factors may impact our ability to write new business and retain existing business. Furthermore, the insurance and reinsurance markets have historically been cyclical, characterized by extended periods of intense price competition and other periods of reduced capacity. The medical professional liability market has been particularly affected by these cycles. Underwriting cycles are driven, among other reasons, by excess capacity available to compete for the business. Changes in the frequency and severity of losses may also affect the cycles of the insurance and reinsurance markets significantly.

Gross, ceded and net premiums written were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Gross premiums written			$	238,718	$	242,363	$	(3,645)	(1.5	%)
Less: Ceded premiums written			20,019		24,973		(4,954)		(19.8	%)
Net premiums written			$	218,699	$	217,390	$	1,309	0.6	%

Gross Premiums Written

During the first quarter of 2024, we restructured the Small Business Unit line of business within our Specialty P&C segment. As a result, we moved the podiatric, chiropractic and dental coverages from the Small Business Unit into HCPL, renaming the unit Medical Professional Liability. By combining these resources, we will have a single unit dedicated to all of our healthcare insurance specialty areas and be able to meet customer needs more efficiently and effectively in order to better serve this market. As a result, we reorganized our presentation of gross premiums written by component and related metrics below to better align with the current internal management reporting structure within the segment. All prior period information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Gross premiums written by component were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Medical Professional Liability (1)(2)			$	218,966	$	221,831	$	(2,865)	(1.3	%)
Medical Technology Liability (3)			9,419		9,070		349		3.8	%
Lloyd's Syndicates (4)			3,710		3,489		221		6.3	%
Other (5)			6,623		7,973		(1,350)		(16.9	%)
Total Gross Premiums Written			$	238,718	$	242,363	$	(3,645)	(1.5	%)

(1) Medical Professional Liability premium was our greatest source of premium revenues in 2024 and 2023. We target the full spectrum of the medical professional liability market, covering multiple categories of healthcare professionals, institutions (which includes hospitals, surgery centers and miscellaneous medical facilities) and, to a lesser extent, facilities specializing in long term residential care. While a majority of our business is written in the standard market, we also offer professional liability insurance on an excess and surplus lines basis through our specialty business. The decrease in MPL premium for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 was driven by retention losses, partially offset by an increase in renewal pricing and, to a lesser extent, new business written. Retention losses during the 2024 three-month period generally reflect our pursuit of rate adequacy in a competitive market where other carriers may not have the same profitability objectives, appreciate the rate need, or are attempting to gain market share despite near term underwriting losses. Renewal pricing increases during the 2024 three-month period reflect the rising loss cost environment and new business written reflects the competitive market conditions.

(2) We offer alternative risk and self-insurance products on a customized basis. Our custom alternative risk solutions include a turnkey captive solution whereby we cede either all or a portion of the alternative market premium, net of reinsurance, to two SPCs of our wholly owned Cayman Islands reinsurance subsidiary, Inova Re, which is reported in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment (see further discussion in the Ceded Premiums Written section that follows). For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our MPL line of business included $2.9 million of alternative market gross premium written. Effective January 1, 2024, we elected to non-renew one program, in which we do not participate in the underwriting results. Written premium related to this program totaled $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

(3) Our Medical Technology Liability business is marketed throughout the U.S.; coverage is typically offered on a primary basis, within specified limits, to manufacturers and distributors of medical technology and life sciences products including entities conducting human clinical trials. In addition to the previously listed factors that affect our premium volume, our Medical Technology Liability premium is also impacted by the sales volume of insureds. Our Medical Technology Liability premium increased during the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by new business written and, to a lesser extent, an increase in renewal pricing, partially offset by retention losses. Renewal pricing increases during the 2024 three-month period are primarily due to changes in the sales volume and changes in exposure of certain insureds. Retention losses during the 2024 three-month period are primarily attributable to insureds no longer needing coverage, an increase in competition on terms and pricing, as well as merger activity within the industry.

(4) Our Lloyd's Syndicates business includes the results from our participation in Syndicate 1729 at Lloyd's of London. Effective September 2023, we elected to discontinue our participation in the results of Syndicate 1729 beginning with the 2024 underwriting year. Due to the quarter reporting lag, our ceased participation in Syndicate 1729 will begin to be reflected in our results in the second quarter of 2024. For the 2023 underwriting year our participation in the results of Syndicate 1729 was approximately 5%. Our Lloyd’s Syndicates premium increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by volume increases on renewal business and renewal pricing increases, primarily on casualty and property insurance coverages.

(5) This component of gross premiums written includes all other product lines within our Specialty P&C segment, primarily professional liability coverage to attorneys and their firms in select areas of practice.

We are committed to a rate structure that will allow us to fulfill our obligations to our insureds while generating competitive long-term returns for our shareholders. Our pricing continues to be based on expected losses as indicated by our historical loss data and available industry loss data. In recent years, this practice has resulted in rate increases and we anticipate further rate increases due to indications of increasing projected loss severity. Additionally, the pricing of our business includes the effects of filed rates, surcharges and discounts. Renewal pricing reflects changes in our exposure base, deductibles, self-insurance retention limits and other policy terms and conditions. See further explanation of changes in renewal pricing above under the heading "Gross Premiums Written".

The change in renewal pricing for our Specialty P&C segment, including by major component, was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
	2024
Specialty P&C segment*	7	%
MPL	8	%
Medical Technology Liability	1	%
Other	2	%
* Excludes Lloyd's Syndicates premium.

New business written by major component on a direct basis was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)		2024		2023
MPL		$	9.3	$	9.4
Medical Technology Liability		0.9		1.1
Other		0.2		0.3
Total		$	10.4	$	10.8

For our Specialty P&C segment, we calculate retention as annualized renewed premium divided by all annualized premium subject to renewal. Retention is affected by a number of factors. We may lose insureds to competitors or to alternative insurance mechanisms such as risk retention groups, captive arrangements or self-insurance entities (often when physicians join hospitals or large group practices) or due to pricing or other issues. We may choose not to renew an insured as a result of our underwriting evaluation. Insureds may also terminate coverage because they have left the practice of medicine for various reasons, principally for retirement, death or disability, but also for personal reasons. See further explanation of changes in retention above under the heading "Gross Premiums Written".

Retention for our Specialty P&C segment, including by major component, was as follows:

Ceded Premiums Written

Ceded premiums represent the amounts owed to our reinsurers for their assumption of a portion of our losses. Our healthcare professional liability and Medical Technology Liability excess of loss reinsurance arrangements renew annually on October 1. For the October 1, 2023 renewal, both our healthcare professional liability and Medical Technology Liability treaties renewed at a higher rate than the previous treaties and we continue to generally retain the first $2 million in risk insured by us and cede coverages in excess of this amount. For our healthcare professional liability coverages in excess of $2 million, we generally retain from 9% to 9.5% of the next $24 million of risk, which increased from a retention of 0% to 5% in the expiring treaty. For our Medical Technology Liability treaty, we do not retain any of the next $8 million of risk for coverages in excess of $2 million. All other material terms were consistent with the expiring treaties.

We pay our reinsurers a ceding premium in exchange for their accepting the risk, and in certain of our excess of loss arrangements, the ultimate amount of which is determined by the loss experience of the business ceded, subject to certain minimum and maximum amounts. Given the length of time that it takes to resolve our claims, many years may elapse before all losses recoverable under a reinsurance arrangement are known. As a part of the process of estimating our loss reserve we also make estimates regarding the amounts recoverable under our reinsurance arrangements. As a result, we may have an adjustment to our estimate of expected losses and associated recoveries for prior year ceded losses under certain loss sensitive reinsurance agreements. Any changes to estimates of premiums ceded related to prior accident years are fully earned in the period the changes in estimates occur.

Ceded premiums written were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Excess of loss reinsurance arrangements (1)			$	11,783	$	11,224	$	559	5.0	%

Premium ceded to SPCs (2)			(63)		2,889		(2,952)		(102.2	%)

Other ceded premiums written (3)			8,299		8,660		(361)		(4.2	%)
Adjustment to premiums owed under reinsurance agreements, prior accident years, net (4)			—		2,200		(2,200)		nm
Total ceded premiums written			$	20,019	$	24,973	$	(4,954)	(19.8	%)

(1) We generally reinsure risks under our excess of loss reinsurance arrangements pursuant to which the reinsurers agree to assume all or a portion of all risks that we insure above our individual risk retention levels. Premium due to reinsurers is based on a rate factor applied to gross premiums written subject to cession under the arrangement.

(2) As previously discussed, as a part of our alternative market solutions, all or a portion of certain medical professional liability premium written is ceded to SPCs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment under either excess of loss or quota share reinsurance agreements, depending on the structure of the individual program. The premiums ceded to SPCs during the first quarter of 2024 reflect policy endorsements. See the Segment Results - Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance section for further discussion on the cession to the SPCs from our Specialty P&C segment.

(3) Our other ceded premiums written is primarily comprised of various shared risk arrangements and cyber liability coverages.

(4) Given the length of time that it takes to resolve our claims, many years may elapse before all losses recoverable under a reinsurance arrangement are known. As a part of the process of estimating our loss reserve we also make estimates regarding the amounts recoverable under our reinsurance arrangements. As previously discussed, the premiums ultimately ceded under certain of our swing rated excess of loss reinsurance arrangements are subject to the losses ceded under the arrangements. As part of the review of our reserves during the 2024 three-month period, we concluded that our estimate of expected losses and associated recoveries for prior year ceded losses was reasonable; therefore, we did not adjust our estimate of ceded premiums owed to reinsurers. As part of our review of our reserves for the 2023 three-month period, we recorded an increase in our estimate of ceded premiums owed to reinsurers due to an increase in our estimate of expected losses and associated recoveries for prior year ceded losses. Changes to estimates of premiums ceded related to prior accident years are fully earned in the period the changes in estimates occur.

Ceded Premiums Ratio

As shown in the table below, our ceded premiums ratio was affected during the 2023 three-month period by a revision to our estimate of premiums owed to reinsurers related to coverages provided in prior accident years. The ceded premiums ratio was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
Ceded premiums ratio		8.4	%	10.3	%	(1.9	pts)
Less the effect of adjustments in premiums owed under reinsurance agreements, prior accident years (as previously discussed)		—	%	0.9	%	(0.9	pts)
Ratio, current accident year		8.4	%	9.4	%	(1.0	pts)

The above table reflects ceded premiums written, excluding the effect of prior year ceded premium adjustments, as previously discussed, as a percent of gross premiums written. Our current accident year ceded premiums ratio decreased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily due to a decrease in premium ceded to SPCs driven by our non-renewal of one program in the first quarter of 2024 (see previous discussion in footnote 2 under the heading "Gross Premiums Written").

Net Premiums Earned

Net premiums earned consist of gross premiums earned less the portion of earned premiums that we cede to our reinsurers for their assumption of a portion of our losses. Because premiums are generally earned pro rata over the entire policy period, fluctuations in premiums earned tend to lag those of premiums written. The majority of our policies carry a term of one year; however, some of our Medical Technology Liability policies have a multi-year term. Tail coverage premiums are generally 100% earned in the period written because the policies insure only incidents that occurred in prior periods and are not cancellable. Retroactive coverage premiums are 100% earned at the inception of the contract, as all of the associated underlying loss events occurred in the past. Additionally, any ceded premium changes due to changes to estimates of premiums owed under reinsurance agreements for prior accident years are fully earned in the period of change.

Net premiums earned were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Gross premiums earned			$	206,627	$	204,053	$	2,574	1.3	%
Less: Ceded premiums earned			17,739		20,369		(2,630)		(12.9	%)
Net premiums earned			$	188,888	$	183,684	$	5,204	2.8	%

Gross premiums earned increased during the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by the pro rata effect of an increase in the volume of written premium during the preceding twelve months, primarily in our MPL line of business.

Ceded premiums earned decreased during the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily driven by an adjustment of $2.2 million made during the first quarter of 2023 which increased ceded premiums owed under our swing rated reinsurance arrangements related to prior accident year losses (see previous discussion in footnote 4 under the heading "Ceded Premiums Written").

Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The determination of calendar year losses involves the actuarial evaluation of incurred losses for the current accident year and the actuarial re-evaluation of incurred losses for prior accident years.

Accident year refers to the accounting period in which the insured event becomes a liability of the insurer. For claims-made policies, which represent the majority of the premiums written in our Specialty P&C segment, the insured event generally becomes a liability when the event is first reported to us and the policy that is in effect at that time covers the claim. For occurrence policies, the insured event becomes a liability when the event takes place even though the claim may be reported to us at a later date. For retroactive coverages, the insured event becomes a liability at inception of the underlying contract. We believe that measuring losses on an accident year basis is the best measure of the underlying profitability of the premiums earned in that period, since it associates policy premiums earned with the estimate of the losses incurred related to those policy premiums.

The following table summarizes calendar year net loss ratios for our Specialty P&C segment by separating losses between the current accident year and all prior accident years. The net loss ratios for our Specialty P&C segment were as follows:


		Net Loss Ratios (1)
	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change

Calendar year net loss ratio		81.0	%	90.4	%	(9.4	pts)
Less impact of prior accident years on the net loss ratio		(0.7	%)	4.0	%	(4.7	pts)
Current accident year net loss ratio(2)		81.7	%	86.4	%	(4.7	pts)

(1)Net losses, as specified, divided by net premiums earned.

(2)For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our current accident year net loss ratio (as shown in the table above), improved 4.7 percentage points as compared to the same period of 2023. The change in our current accident year net loss ratio was primarily attributable to the following:

•Excluding the impact of the items specifically identified in the table above, our current accident year net loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 improved 3.3 percentage points driven by our continued underwriting actions as well as our focus on achieving appropriate pricing leading to a decrease to certain expected loss ratios in our MPL line of business during the first quarter of 2024 and, to a lesser extent, changes in the mix of business.

•During the 2023 three-month period, we increased our estimate of premiums owed under swing rated reinsurance agreements related to prior accident years which decreased net premium earned (the denominator of the current accident year net loss ratio) in the first quarter of 2023 and accounted for a 1.2 percentage point decrease in our 2024 three-month period ratio as compared to the prior year period. No such adjustment was made during the 2024 three-month period. See the previous discussion under the heading "Ceded Premiums Written" for additional information.

We re-evaluate our previously established reserve each quarter based upon the most recently completed actuarial analysis supplemented by any new analysis, information or trends that have emerged since the date of that study. We also take into account currently available industry trend information.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the components of our net prior accident year reserve development:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change

Net favorable (unfavorable) reserve development			$	—	$	(10,110)	$	10,110	(100.0	%)
Lloyd's Syndicates net favorable (unfavorable) reserve development			(405)		249		(654)		(262.7	%)
NORCAL Acquisition - Purchase Accounting Amortization			1,656		2,510		(854)		(34.0	%)
Total net favorable (unfavorable) reserve development			$	1,251	$	(7,351)	$	8,602	(117.0	%)

•2024: Net unfavorable reserve development recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024, excluding purchase accounting amortization, is entirely attributable to our Lloyd’s Syndicates operations driven by higher than expected losses and development on certain large claims, primarily catastrophe related losses. The loss environment in our MPL line of business continues to be challenging in many jurisdictions, as claim costs are pressured by social inflation and higher than anticipated loss severity trends. Following a period of benign loss development trends due to the pandemic, higher severity trends started to reemerge in the fourth quarter of 2022, mostly returning to pre-pandemic levels but higher than pre-pandemic levels in certain jurisdictions. We are monitoring the impact that these trends have on our open case reserves and prior year development.

•2023: Net unfavorable reserve development, excluding purchase accounting amortization, was driven by the strengthening of case reserves related to four large claims in our MPL line of business, resulting in $10.1 million of unfavorable development, primarily related to NORCAL's accident years 2016 and 2020, partially offset by $0.2 million of favorable development associated with our Lloyd’s Syndicates operations.

The contingent consideration associated with the NORCAL acquisition is dependent upon the after-tax development of NORCAL’s 2020 and prior accident year reserves from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, we recognized unfavorable development in NORCAL’s 2020 and prior accident year reserves. This adjustment to NORCAL's reserves contributed to a decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability of $1.0 million which was recorded as an offset to operating expenses in the segment. See further discussion that follows under the heading “Underwriting, Policy Acquisition and Operating Expenses.”

A detailed discussion of factors influencing our recognition of loss development is included in our Critical Accounting Estimates section under the heading "Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses" in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Assumptions used in establishing our reserve are regularly reviewed and updated by management as new data becomes available. Any adjustments necessary are reflected in the then current operations. Due to the size of our reserve, even a small percentage adjustment to the assumptions can have a material effect on our results of operations for the period in which the change is made, as was the case in both 2024 and 2023.

Underwriting, Policy Acquisition and Operating Expenses

Our Specialty P&C segment underwriting, policy acquisition and operating expenses were comprised as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)	2024		2023		Change
DPAC amortization	$	25,843	$	24,806	$	1,037	4.2	%
Management fees	1,145		1,164		(19)		(1.6	%)
Other underwriting and operating expenses	24,061		16,711		7,350		44.0	%
Total	$	51,049	$	42,681	$	8,368	19.6	%

DPAC amortization increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by an increase in compensation-related costs due to higher underwriting salaries.

Management fees are charged pursuant to a management agreement by the Corporate segment to the core domestic operating subsidiaries within our Specialty P&C segment for services provided based on the extent to which services are provided to the subsidiary and the amount of premium written by the subsidiary. While the terms of the management agreement were generally consistent between 2024 and 2023, fluctuations in the amount of premium written by each subsidiary can result in corresponding variations in the management fee charged to each subsidiary during a particular period.

Table of Contents

Other underwriting and operating expenses increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily attributable to the following:

•A claim for a payroll tax refund of $3.8 million recognized in the first quarter of 2023 as a reduction to operating expenses related to the employee retention credit available to us under the CARES Act. See additional discussion on the ERC in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K and previous discussion in the Operating Activities and Related Cash Flows section under the heading "Taxes."

•A reduction to operating expenses of $1 million in the first quarter of 2023 related to the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability associated with the NORCAL acquisition due to unfavorable development recognized on NORCAL's 2020 and prior accident year reserves during the first quarter of 2023. See additional discussion on the contingent consideration in the previous section under the heading "Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses" and in the Financing Activities and Related Cash Flows section under the heading "Contingent Consideration."

•An increase in compensation-related expenses and, to a lesser extent, the timing of certain software and equipment costs. The increase in compensation-related costs in the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 were primarily due to higher amounts accrued for performance-related incentive plans due to the improvement in the related performance metrics and, to a lesser extent, an increase in salaries due to annual merit adjustments. The remaining variance in other underwriting and operating expenses for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 was comprised of individually insignificant components.

Underwriting Expense Ratio (the Expense Ratio)

Our expense ratio for the Specialty P&C segment was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
Underwriting expense ratio		27.0	%	23.2	%	3.8	pts

The change in our expense ratio for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily attributable to the following:


									Increase (Decrease) 2024 versus 2023
(In percentage points)									Comparative three-month periods
Estimated ratio increase (decrease) attributable to:


Change in Net Premiums Earned and DPAC amortization									0.2 pts



Employee Retention Credit									2.1 pts
Contingent Consideration Remeasurement Adjustment									0.5 pts


All other, net									1.0 pts
Increase in the underwriting expense ratio									3.8 pts

Excluding the impact of the items specifically identified in the table above, our expense ratio increased for the 2024 three-month period by 1.0 percentage point as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily driven by an increase in compensation-related costs and, to a lesser extent, the timing of certain software and equipment costs, partially offset by the impact of higher net premiums earned.

Segment Results - Workers' Compensation Insurance

Our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment includes workers' compensation products provided to employers generally with 1,000 or fewer employees, as discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. Workers' compensation products offered include guaranteed cost policies, policyholder dividend policies, retrospectively-rated policies, deductible policies and alternative market programs. Alternative market programs include services related to program design, fronting, claims administration, risk management, SPC rental, asset management and SPC management services. Alternative market program premiums are 100% ceded to either the SPCs within our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment or captive insurers unaffiliated with ProAssurance for two programs. Our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment results reflect pre-tax underwriting profit or loss from these workers' compensation products, exclusive of investment results, which are included in our Corporate segment. Segment results included the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Net premiums written			$	50,353	$	47,572	$	2,781	5.8	%

Net loss ratio			77.0%		75.6%		1.4 pts
Underwriting expense ratio			35.3%		31.8%		3.5 pts

Premiums Written

Our workers’ compensation premium volume is driven by five primary factors: (1) the amount of new business written, (2) retention of our existing book of business, (3) premium rates charged on our renewal book of business, (4) changes in payroll exposure and (5) audit premium.

Gross, ceded and net premiums written were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Gross premiums written			$	72,615	$	73,431	$	(816)	(1.1	%)

Total			$	72,615	$	73,431	$	(816)	(1.1	%)

(1) For the 2024 three-month period the increase in gross premiums written was driven by higher reported insured payrolls at renewal, selective new business, positive mid-term policy endorsements and the renewal of certain policies as traditional business that were previously written in one of the alternative market programs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment, partially offset by lower audit premium and renewal rate decreases. Premium related to policies that renewed as traditional business that were previously written in one the programs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment totaled $1.1 million. New business writings for the 2024 three-month period increased to $8.2 million as compared to $6.6 million during the same period of 2023. Policy audits processed during the 2024 three-month period resulted in audit premium billed to policyholders totaling $1.9 million as compared to $2.5 million for the same period of 2023. We increased our carried EBUB estimate $1.0 million during the 2023 three-month period; there was no such adjustment during the 2024 three-month period. Gross premiums written in our traditional business also reflect the continuation of competitive workers' compensation market conditions, including the impact of compounded state loss cost reductions in our core operating territories. Renewal premium results for the 2024 three-month period reflected premium retention of 87% and rate decreases 5%, partially offset by an increase in payroll exposure.

(2) A majority of alternative market premiums are ceded to SPCs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment. See further discussion on alternative market gross premiums written in our Segment Results - Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance section under the heading "Gross Premiums Written" that follows. We retained seven of the nine workers’ compensation alternative market programs that were up for renewal during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Effective January 1, 2024, two programs were non-renewed and placed into run-off; however, the majority of business written in one of those programs is expected to be renewed as traditional business in our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment, as previously discussed. The other program, in which we do not participate in the underwriting results, assumed both workers' compensation insurance and medical professional liability insurance and we elected to non-renew this program.

New business, audit premium, renewal retention and renewal price changes for our traditional business and the alternative market business are shown in the table below:

(1) We calculate our workers' compensation retention rate as annualized expiring renewed premium divided by all annualized expiring premium subject to renewal. Our retention rate can be impacted by various factors, including price or other competitive issues, insureds being acquired, or a decision not to renew based on our underwriting evaluation.
(2) The pricing of our business includes an assessment of the underlying policy exposure and market conditions. We continue to base our pricing on expected losses, as indicated by our historical loss data.

(1) Represents alternative market business that is ceded under 100% quota share reinsurance agreements to the SPCs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment. Premiums ceded to unaffiliated captive insurers represent alternative market business for two programs that are ceded under 100% quota share reinsurance agreements. See further discussion on alternative market gross premiums written in our Segment Results - Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance section under the heading "Gross Premiums Written" that follows.
(2) Under our external reinsurance treaty for traditional business, we retain the first $0.5 million in risk insured by us and cede losses in excess of this amount on each loss occurrence, subject to an AAD, equal to 3.5% of subject earned premium for the treaty years effective May 1, 2023 and 2022. Premiums ceded under our traditional reinsurance treaty are based on premiums earned during the treaty period. Our ceded premium increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023, reflecting higher reinsurance rates at our May 1, 2023 renewal.
(3) Changes in the return premium estimate reflect adjustments to our estimate of expected future recovery of ceded premium based on the underlying loss experience of our reinsurance treaties that include a provision for return premium. Increases in reinsured losses reduce the return premium estimate, while decreases in reinsured losses increase the return premium estimate.
(4) We are party to a revenue sharing agreement with our reinsurance broker under which we participate in the broker's revenue earned under our reinsurance treaties based on the volume of premium ceded. We estimate the amount of revenue we expect to receive under this agreement as premiums are recognized and ceded to the reinsurers.

Ceded Premiums Ratio

Ceded premiums ratio was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
Ceded premiums ratio, as reported		33.2	%	33.3	%	(0.1	pts)
Less the effect of:
Premiums ceded to SPCs (100%)		23.2	%	24.2	%	(1.0	pts)

Premiums ceded to unaffiliated captive insurers (100%)		2.6	%	2.7	%	(0.1	pts)

Estimated revenue share		(1.6	%)	(1.7	%)	0.1	pts
Assumed premiums earned (not ceded to external reinsurers)		(0.3	%)	(0.3	%)	—	pts

Ceded premiums ratio (related to external reinsurance), less the effects of above		9.3	%	8.4	%	0.9	pts

The above table reflects traditional ceded premiums earned as a percent of traditional gross premiums earned. As discussed above, premiums ceded under our traditional reinsurance treaty are based on premiums earned during the treaty period. The increase in the ceded premiums ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily reflected the higher reinsurance rates.

Net Premiums Earned

Net premiums earned consist of gross premiums earned less the portion of earned premiums that we cede to SPCs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment, external reinsurers (including changes related to the return premium and revenue share estimates) and the unaffiliated captive insurers. Because premiums are generally earned pro rata over the entire policy period, fluctuations in premiums earned tend to lag those of premiums written. Our workers’ compensation policies are twelve month term policies, and premiums are earned on a pro rata basis over the policy period. Net premiums earned also include premium adjustments related to the audit of our insureds' payrolls, changes in our estimates related to EBUB and premium adjustments related to retrospectively-rated policies. Payroll audits are conducted subsequent to the end of the policy period and any related premium adjustments are recorded as fully earned in the current period. We evaluate our estimates

Table of Contents

related to EBUB and retrospectively-rated premium adjustments on a quarterly basis with any adjustments being included in written and earned premium in the current period.

Net premiums earned were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Gross premiums earned			$	61,539	$	61,166	$	373	0.6	%
Less: Ceded premiums earned			20,445		20,363		82		0.4	%
Net premiums earned			$	41,094	$	40,803	$	291	0.7	%

Net premiums earned remained relatively unchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 as lower audit premium and the prior year impact of an increase in our carried EBUB estimate during the first quarter of 2023 was more than offset by an increase in new business writings and the renewal of certain policies as traditional business that were previously written in one of the alternative market programs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment.

Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

We estimate our current accident year loss and loss adjustment expenses by developing actual reported losses using historical loss development factors, adjusted to reflect current and expected trends based on various internal analyses and supplemental information. The following table summarizes calendar year net loss ratios by separating losses between the current accident year and all prior accident years. Calendar year and current accident year net loss ratios by component were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
Calendar year net loss ratio		77.0	%	75.6	%	1.4	pts
Less impact of prior accident years on the net loss ratio		—	%	3.0	%	(3.0	pts)
Current accident year net loss ratio		77.0	%	72.6	%	4.4	pts
Less estimated ratio increase (decrease) attributable to:
ULAE		6.5	%	7.3	%	(0.8	pts)
Change in the AAD (1)		3.7	%	3.4	%	0.3	pts
Current accident year net loss ratio, excluding the effect of items above		66.8	%	61.9	%	4.9	pts
(1) See previous discussion of the AAD under the heading "Ceded Premiums Written."

The current accident year net loss ratio for the 2024 three-month period increased as compared to the same period of 2023; however, the current accident year net loss ratio improved 4.3 points from the current accident year net loss ratio for the year ended December 31, 2023 of 81.3%, reflecting underwriting actions taken during 2023 and a slight improvement in loss trends. While we continue to reflect higher loss trends that we began to observe in our average cost per claim during the second half of 2023, these trends have improved slightly during the first quarter of 2024, while reported claim frequency trends continue to be lower compared to historical results. Excluding the effects of ULAE and the change in the AAD as shown in the table above, the increase in the current accident year net loss ratio for the 2024 three-month period reflects the higher average cost per claim as well as the impact of compounded premium rate decreases related to the continuation of state loss cost reductions and the competitive workers' compensation market.

Calendar year incurred losses (excluding IBNR) in excess of our per occurrence reinsurance retention, before consideration of the AAD, decreased $1.6 million for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023, which reflected net favorable reserve development on reinsured claims. We recognized losses within the AAD totaling $1.5 million for the 2024 three-month period as compared to $1.4 million in the same period of 2023. We continue to recognize losses within the AAD at the maximum exposure, based on historical reinsured loss trends; however, actual results within the AAD layer may ultimately be lower once all claims have been settled.

We did not recognize any prior year reserve development for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $1.2 million of net unfavorable prior year reserve development recognized for the same period of 2023. The net unfavorable prior year reserve development for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was driven primarily by a large claim from the 1997 accident year.

Underwriting, Policy Acquisition and Operating Expenses

Underwriting, policy acquisition and operating expenses include the amortization of commissions, premium taxes and underwriting salaries, which are capitalized and deferred over the related workers’ compensation policy period, net of ceding commissions earned. The capitalization of underwriting salaries can vary as they are subject to the success rate of our contract acquisition efforts. These expenses also include a management fee charged by our Corporate segment, which represents intercompany charges pursuant to a management agreement. The management fee is based on the extent to which services are provided to the subsidiary and the amount of premium written by the subsidiary.

Our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment underwriting, policy acquisition and operating expenses were comprised as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
DPAC amortization			$	7,380	$	7,010	$	370	5.3	%
Management fees			545		550		(5)		(0.9	%)
Other underwriting and operating expenses			10,051		8,986		1,065		11.9	%

SPC ceding commission offset			(3,486)		(3,566)		80		(2.2	%)
Total			$	14,490	$	12,980	$	1,510	11.6	%

DPAC amortization increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023, which reflected an increase in acquisition related costs due to higher agent commissions and premium taxes.

Other underwriting and operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023, primarily reflecting an increase in compensation-related costs and a decrease in ULAE allocated to net losses and loss adjustment expenses. The increase in compensation-related costs during the 2024 three-month period primarily reflected higher amounts accrued for performance-related incentive plans due to an improvement in the related performance metrics. See additional discussion on ULAE in the previous section under the heading "Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses."

As previously discussed, alternative market premiums written by our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment are 100% ceded, less a ceding commission, to either the SPCs in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment or unaffiliated captive insurers. The ceding commission charged to the SPCs consists of an amount for fronting fees, cell rental fees, commissions, premium taxes, claims administration fees and risk management fees. The fronting fees, commissions, premium taxes and risk management fees are recorded as an offset to underwriting, policy acquisition and operating expenses. Cell rental fees are recorded as a component of other income and claims administration fees are recorded as ceded ULAE. SPC ceding commissions earned were relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023.

Underwriting Expense Ratio (the Expense Ratio)

The underwriting expense ratio included the impact of the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
Underwriting expense ratio, as reported		35.3	%	31.8	%	3.5	pts
Less estimated ratio increase (decrease) attributable to:
Impact of ceding commissions received from SPCs		4.4	%	3.5	%	0.9	pts

Impact of audit premium		(1.0	%)	(1.8	%)	0.8	pts



Underwriting expense ratio, less listed effects		31.9	%	30.1	%	1.8	pts

Excluding the items noted in the table above, the expense ratio increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily reflecting the increase in other underwriting and operating expenses, as discussed above.

Segment Results - Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance

The Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment includes the results (underwriting profit or loss, plus investment results, net of U.S. federal income taxes) of SPCs at Inova Re and Eastern Re, our Cayman Islands SPC operations, as discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. SPCs are segregated pools of assets and liabilities that provide an insurance facility for a defined set of risks. Assets of each SPC are solely for the benefit of that individual cell and each SPC is solely responsible for the liabilities of that individual cell. Assets of one SPC are statutorily protected from the creditors of the others. Each SPC is owned, fully or in part, by an individual company, agency, group or association and the results of the SPCs are attributable to the participants of that cell. We participate to a varying degree in the results of selected SPCs and, for the SPCs in which we participate, our participation interest ranges from a low of 15% to a high of 85%. SPC results attributable to external cell participants are reported as an SPC dividend (expense) income in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment. In addition, our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment includes the investment results of the SPCs as the investments are solely for the benefit of the cell participants and investment results attributable to external cell participants are reflected in the SPC dividend (expense) income. As of March 31, 2024, there were twenty-six (five inactive) SPCs. Effective January 1, 2024, two SPCs were non-renewed and placed into run-off. As the underlying policies expire that were previously written in one of the programs, we expect a majority of those policies to be renewed as traditional business in our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment. For the year ended December 31, 2023, these SPCs had workers' compensation and medical professional liability premiums written totaling $6.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The SPCs assume workers' compensation insurance, medical professional liability insurance or a combination of the two from our Workers' Compensation Insurance and Specialty P&C segments. As of March 31, 2024, there was one SPC that assumed both workers' compensation insurance and medical professional liability insurance and one SPC that assumed only medical professional liability insurance.

Segment results reflects our share of the underwriting and investment results of the SPCs in which we participate, and included the following:

Premiums Written

Premiums in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment are assumed from either our Workers' Compensation Insurance or Specialty P&C segments. Premium volume is driven by five primary factors: (1) the amount of new business written, (2) retention of the existing book of business, (3) premium rates charged on the renewal book of business and, for workers' compensation business, (4) changes in payroll exposure and (5) audit premium.

Gross, ceded and net premiums written were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Gross premiums written			$	15,934	$	22,881	$	(6,947)	(30.4	%)
Less: Ceded premiums written			2,313		2,934		(621)		(21.2	%)
Net premiums written			$	13,621	$	19,947	$	(6,326)	(31.7	%)

Gross Premiums Written

Gross premiums written reflected reinsurance premiums assumed by component as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Workers' compensation			$	15,997	$	19,992	$	(3,995)	(20.0	%)
Medical professional liability			(63)		2,889		(2,952)		(102.2	%)

Gross Premiums Written			$	15,934	$	22,881	$	(6,947)	(30.4	%)

Gross premiums written for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were primarily comprised of workers' compensation coverages assumed from our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment. Workers' compensation gross premiums written decreased during the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 due to the non-renewal of two programs effective January 1, 2024. The business written in one of those programs is expected to be renewed as traditional business in our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment. The other program, in which we do not participate in the underwriting results, assumed both workers' compensation insurance and medical professional liability insurance and we elected to non-renew this program.

The decrease in medical professional liability gross premiums written for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period 2023 primarily reflected our non-renewal of the SPC that assumed both workers' compensation insurance and medical professional liability insurance, as described above. See further discussion on the cession to the SPCs from our Specialty P&C segment in our Segment Results - Specialty Property & Casualty section under the heading "Premiums Written."

Renewal premium for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflected retention of 76% and rate decreases of 2%, partially offset by an increase in payroll exposure. Retention for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily reflected the non-renewal of the SPC that assumed both workers' compensation and medical professional liability insurance. We retained six of the eight workers' compensation programs and non-renewed the one medical professional liability program up for renewal during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

New business, audit premium, retention and renewal price changes for the assumed workers' compensation premium is shown in the table below:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in millions)		2024			2023
New business		$	1.3		$	1.2
Audit premium		$	1.4		$	1.2
Retention rate (1)		76		%	90		%
Change in renewal pricing (2)		(2		%)	(5		%)
(1) We calculate our workers' compensation retention rate as annualized expiring renewed premium divided by all annualized expiring premium subject to renewal. Our retention rate can be impacted by various factors, including price or other competitive issues, insureds being acquired, or a decision not to renew based on our underwriting evaluation.
(2) The pricing of our business includes an assessment of the underlying policy exposure and market conditions. We continue to base our pricing on expected losses, as indicated by our historical loss data.

Ceded Premiums Written

Ceded premiums written were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Ceded premiums written			$	2,313	$	2,934	$	(621)	(21.2	%)

For the workers' compensation business, each SPC has in place its own external reinsurance coverage. The medical professional liability business is assumed net of reinsurance from our Specialty P&C segment; therefore, there are no ceded premiums related to the medical professional liability business reflected in the table above. The risk retention for each loss occurrence for the workers' compensation business ranges from $0.3 million to $0.4 million based on the program, with limits up to $119.7 million. In addition, each program has aggregate reinsurance coverage between $1.1 million and $2.1 million on a program year basis. Premiums ceded under our SPC reinsurance treaty are based on premiums written during the treaty period. The change in ceded premiums written during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily reflected the decrease in workers' compensation gross premiums written and the impact of rate changes under the external reinsurance treaty. External reinsurance rates vary based on the alternative market program.

Ceded Premiums Ratio

Ceded premiums ratio was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024	2023	Change
Ceded premiums ratio		14.5%	14.7%	(0.2 pts)

The above table reflects ceded premiums as a percent of gross premiums written for the workers' compensation business only; medical professional liability business is assumed net of reinsurance, as discussed above. The ceded premiums ratio reflects the weighted average reinsurance rates of all SPC programs.

Net Premiums Earned

Net premiums earned consist of gross premiums earned less the portion of earned premiums that the SPCs cede to external reinsurers. Because premiums are generally earned pro rata over the entire policy period, fluctuations in premiums earned tend to lag those of premiums written. Policies ceded to the SPCs are twelve month term policies and premiums are earned on a pro rata basis over the policy period. Net premiums earned also include premium adjustments related to the audit of workers' compensation insureds' payrolls. Payroll audits are conducted subsequent to the end of the policy period and any related adjustments are recorded as fully earned in the current period.

Gross, ceded and net premiums earned were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Gross premiums earned			$	16,410	$	17,603	$	(1,193)	(6.8	%)
Less: Ceded premiums earned			2,242		2,303		(61)		(2.6	%)
Net premiums earned			$	14,168	$	15,300	$	(1,132)	(7.4	%)

The decrease in net premiums earned during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily reflected the non-renewal of two SPCs effective January 1, 2024, as previously discussed.

Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The following table summarizes the calendar year net loss ratios by separating losses between the current accident year and all prior accident years. The current accident year net loss ratio reflects the aggregate loss ratio for all programs. Loss reserves and associated reinsurance are estimated for each program on a quarterly basis. Each SPC has in place its own reinsurance agreement, and the attachment point of aggregate reinsurance coverage varies by program. Due to the size of some of the programs, quarterly loss results, including changes in estimated aggregate reinsurance, can create volatility in the current accident year net loss ratio from period to period.

Calendar year and current accident year net loss ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024		2023		Change
Calendar year net loss ratio		71.0	%	55.1	%	15.9	pts
Less impact of prior accident years on the net loss ratio		5.9	%	(9.8	%)	15.7	pts
Current accident year net loss ratio		65.1	%	64.9	%	0.2	pts
Less estimated ratio increase (decrease) attributable to:
Change in estimated aggregate reinsurance (1)		0.5	%	(0.1	%)	0.6	pts
Current accident year net loss ratio, excluding the effect of the change in estimated aggregate reinsurance		64.6	%	65.0	%	(0.4	pts)
(1) See additional information regarding the SPC's aggregate reinsurance agreements in our Liquidity and Capital Resources and Financial Condition section under the heading "Operating Activities and Related Cash Flows."

The current accident year net loss ratio, excluding the effect of changes in estimated aggregate reinsurance, improved for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily reflecting the non-renewal of the SPC that assumed both workers' compensation and medical professional liability insurance which was recorded with a higher loss ratio than the segment's average initial loss ratio. The workers' compensation current accident year net loss ratio for the 2024 three-month period was relatively unchanged as compared to the same period of 2023.

Calendar year incurred losses (excluding IBNR) ceded to our external reinsurers decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023. There were no current accident year ceded incurred losses (excluding IBNR) during the 2024 or 2023 three-month periods.

We recognized net unfavorable prior year reserve development of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to favorable prior year reserve development $1.5 million for the same period of 2023. The development for the 2024 three-month period includes net favorable development in the workers' compensation business of $0.5 million which was more than offset by net unfavorable development of $1.4 million in the medical professional liability business. The net favorable development related to the workers' compensation business reflected overall favorable trends in claim closing patterns primarily in accident years 2020 through 2022. The net unfavorable development in the medical professional liability business primarily reflected higher than expected claim frequency in the program that assumed both workers' compensation and medical professional liability insurance, which was non-renewed effective January 1, 2024. We do not participate in the underwriting results of this program. The development for the 2023 three-month period entirely related to the workers' compensation business and reflected overall favorable trends in claim closing patterns primarily in accident years 2016 through 2021.

Underwriting, Policy Acquisition and Operating Expenses

Our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment underwriting, policy acquisition and operating expenses were comprised as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
DPAC amortization			$	4,304	$	4,576	$	(272)	(5.9	%)

Other underwriting and operating expenses			409		459		(50)		(10.9	%)
Total			$	4,713	$	5,035	$	(322)	(6.4	%)

DPAC amortization primarily represents ceding commissions, which vary by program and are paid to our Workers' Compensation Insurance and Specialty P&C segments for premiums assumed. Ceding commissions include an amount for fronting fees, commissions, premium taxes and risk management fees, which are reported as an offset to underwriting, policy acquisition and operating expenses within our Workers' Compensation Insurance and Specialty P&C segments. In addition, ceding commissions paid to our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment include cell rental fees which are recorded as other income and claims administration fees which are recorded as ceded ULAE within our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment. The decrease in DPAC amortization in the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily reflected the decrease in earned premium, as discussed above under the heading "Net Premiums Earned."

Other underwriting and operating expenses primarily include bank fees, professional fees, changes in the allowance for expected credit losses and policyholder dividend expense. Other underwriting and operating expenses remained relatively unchanged for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023.

Underwriting Expense Ratio (the Expense Ratio)

The underwriting expense ratio included the impact of the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024	2023	Change
Underwriting expense ratio, as reported		33.3%	32.9%	0.4 pts
Less: impact of audit premium on expense ratio		(3.5%)	(2.6%)	0.9 pts


Underwriting expense ratio, excluding the effect of audit premium		36.8%	35.5%	1.3 pts

Excluding the effect of audit premium, the underwriting expense ratio increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared the same period of 2023 driven by the non-renewal of the SPC that assumed both workers' compensation and medical professional liability insurance, which had a lower ceding commission.

Segment Results - Corporate

Our Corporate segment includes our investment operations excluding those reported in our Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance segment as discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K. In addition, this segment includes corporate expenses, interest expense, U.S. and U.K. income taxes and non-premium revenues generated outside of our insurance entities. As previously discussed under the heading "ProAssurance Overview," we reorganized our segment reporting in the third quarter of 2023. As a result, the investment results of assets solely allocated to our Lloyd's Syndicate operations and U.K. income taxes which were previously reported in our Lloyd’s Syndicates segment are now reported in our Corporate segment. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. See further information regarding our segments in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 exclude the change in fair value of contingent consideration associated with the NORCAL acquisition as we do not consider this item in assessing the financial performance of the segment. Segment results for our Corporate segment were net earnings of $22.5 million and $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and included the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31

Net Investment Income

Net investment income is primarily derived from the income earned by our fixed maturity securities and also includes dividend income from equity securities, income from our short-term and cash equivalent investments, earnings from other investments and changes in the cash surrender value of BOLI contracts, net of investment fees and expenses.

Net investment income (loss) by investment category was as follows:

Net investment income			$	33,204	$	29,890	$	3,314	11.1	%

Fixed Maturities

Income from our fixed maturities increased during the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by higher average book yields as we continue to reinvest at higher rates as our portfolio matures. However, average investment balances were approximately 0.8% lower for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 as we reduced the rate of reinvestment to allow for additional cash availability, primarily related to operating costs and the repurchase of common shares during the second and third quarters of 2023 pursuant to the existing share repurchase authorization. See additional information on our operating cash flows in the Liquidity section under the heading "Cash Flows."

Average yields for our fixed maturity portfolio were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
		2024	2023
Average income yield		3.3%	2.9%
Average tax equivalent income yield		3.3%	2.9%

Table of Contents

BOLI

We hold BOLI policies that are carried at the current cash surrender value of the policies. All insured individuals were members of management at the time the policies were acquired. Income from our BOLI policies decreased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily attributable to a decrease in the cash surrender value.

Investment Fees and Expenses

Investment fees and expenses increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 primarily due to the renegotiation of our contracts in 2023.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries was comprised as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
All other investments, primarily investment fund LPs/LLCs			$	3,066	$	(767)	$	3,833	499.7	%
Tax credit partnerships			(103)		(354)		251		(70.9	%)
Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries			$	2,963	$	(1,121)	$	4,084	364.3	%

We hold interests in certain LPs/LLCs that generate earnings from trading portfolios, secured debt, debt securities, multi-strategy funds and private equity investments. The performance of the LPs/LLCs is affected by the volatility of equity and credit markets. For our investments in LPs/LLCs, we record our allocable portion of the partnership operating income or loss as the results of the LPs/LLCs become available, typically following the end of a reporting period. Our investment results from our portfolio of investments in LPs/LLCs for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 increased primarily due to the performance of two LPs/LLCs which reflected higher market valuations during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Our tax credit partnership investments are designed to generate returns in the form of tax credits and tax-deductible project operating losses and are comprised of qualified affordable housing project tax credit partnerships and a historic tax credit partnership. These tax credit partnership investments are reaching the end of their lifecycle, therefore partnership operating losses and tax benefits associated with these investments were nominal in amount for the 2024 and 2023 three-month periods. See additional information on our tax credit partnership investments in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $0.9 million of credit-related impairment losses in earnings related to a corporate bond in the consumer sector as well as an asset-backed security. We recognized non-credit impairment losses in OCI of $0.6 million related to a corporate bond during the 2024 three-month period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized credit-related impairment losses in earnings of $2.9 million related to two corporate bonds in the financial sector. We did not recognize any non-credit impairment losses in OCI during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

During the 2024 three-month period, we recognized $1.7 million of net investment losses driven primarily by realized losses from the sale of certain available-for-sale fixed maturities and, to a lesser extent, unrealized holding losses resulting from changes in the fair value of our convertible securities. During the 2023 three-month period, we recognized $0.8 million of net investment gains driven by unrealized holding gains resulting from changes in the fair value of our equity investments and convertible securities.

Other Income

Corporate other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 was comprised of the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023			Change
Foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses)(1)				$	1,929		$	(824)	$	2,753	334.1	%

(1) See further information on foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses) in the Executive Summary of Operations section under the heading "Revenues."

Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses), other income was relatively unchanged for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023.

Operating Expenses

Corporate segment operating expenses were comprised as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Operating expenses			$	10,378	$	9,918	$	460	4.6	%
Management fee offset			(1,690)		(1,714)		24		(1.4	%)
Total			$	8,688	$	8,204	$	484	5.9	%

Operating expenses increased for the 2024 three-month period as compared to the same period of 2023 driven by an increase in compensation-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in share-based compensation expenses. The increase in compensation-related costs during the 2024 three-month period primarily reflected higher amounts accrued for performance-related incentive plans due to an improvement in the related performance metrics, an increase in salaries due to annual merit adjustments and, to a lesser extent, an increase in employee headcount as we have filled open positions. The decrease in professional fees for the 2024 three-month period primarily reflected a decrease in consulting and temporary personnel fees. The decrease in share-based compensation expenses for the 2024 three-month period was due to the timing of grants of current year share-based awards.

Core domestic operating subsidiaries within our Specialty P&C segment and our Workers' Compensation Insurance segment are charged a management fee by the Corporate segment for services provided to these subsidiaries. The management fee is based on the extent to which services are provided to the subsidiary and the amount of premium written by the subsidiary. Under the arrangement, the expenses associated with such services are reported as expenses of the Corporate segment, and the management fees charged are reported as an offset to Corporate operating expenses. While the terms of the arrangement were generally consistent between 2024 and 2023, fluctuations in the amount of premium written by each subsidiary can result in corresponding variations in the management fee charged to each subsidiary during a particular period.

Interest Expense

Consolidated interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was comprised as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
($ in thousands)		2024	2023		Change
Senior Notes due 2023			$	—	$	3,357	$	(3,357)	nm
Contribution Certificates (including accretion)(1)			1,898		1,859		39		2.1	%
Revolving Credit Agreement (including fees and amortization)			2,640		247		2,393		968.8	%
Term Loan (including fees and amortization)			2,477		—		2,477		nm

Interest expense			$	5,657	$	5,463	$	194	3.6	%
(1) Includes accretion of approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is recorded as an increase to interest expense as a result of the difference between the recorded acquisition date fair value and the principal balance of the Contribution Certificates associated with our acquisition of NORCAL.

Consolidated interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 due to an increase in the borrowings on our Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan to refinance our Senior Notes that matured in November 2023, partially offset by the change in the fair value of our Interest Rate Swaps. The Interest Rate Swaps are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to interest rate risk due to variability in the base rates on the borrowings under both the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan. Interest expense on our Revolving Credit Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily reflected unused commitment fees as there were no outstanding borrowings during the period. See further discussion on our outstanding debt in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and additional information regarding our Interest Rate Swaps is provided in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Taxes

Tax expense allocated to our Corporate segment includes U.S. and U.K. tax expense including U.S. tax expense incurred from our corporate membership in Lloyd's of London, if any. The SPCs at Inova Re, one of our Cayman Islands reinsurance subsidiaries, have each made a 953(d) election under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and are subject to U.S. federal income tax; therefore, tax expense allocated to our Corporate segment also includes tax expense incurred from any SPC at Inova Re in which we have a participation interest of 80% or greater as those SPCs are required to be included in our consolidated tax return. Consolidated tax expense (benefit) reflects the tax expense (benefit) of both segments and the tax impact of items excluded from segment reporting, as shown in the table below:


	Three Months Ended March 31
(In thousands)		2024		2023



Consolidated income tax expense (benefit)		$	692	$	(2,172)

Listed below are the primary factors affecting our consolidated effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The comparability of each factor's impact on our effective tax rate is affected by the consolidated pre-tax income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the consolidated pre-tax loss recognized during the same period of 2023. Factors that have the same directional impact on income tax expense in each period have an opposite impact on our effective tax rate due to the effective tax rate being calculated based upon the pre-tax income during the three months ended March 31, 2024 versus a pre-tax loss during the same period of 2023. These factors include the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31

(1) Includes tax-exempt interest, dividends received deduction and change in cash surrender value of BOLI.

(2) Represents the tax impact of a decrease in the contingent consideration liability issued in connection with the NORCAL acquisition of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, all of which is non-taxable. See further discussion on the contingent consideration in Notes 2 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3) Represents the tax rate differential between our actual effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and our projected annual effective tax rate as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 as calculated under the estimated annual effective tax rate method.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 the provision (benefit) for income taxes and the effective tax rate were determined utilizing the estimated annual effective tax rate method which is based upon our current estimate of our annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly reporting period (the projected annual effective tax rate) plus the impact of certain discrete items that are not included in the projected annual effective tax rate. See further discussion on these methods utilized to compute interim taxes in the Critical Accounting Estimates section under the heading "Estimation of Taxes" and in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our effective tax rates for the 2024 and 2023 three-month periods were different from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the estimated tax rate differential between our actual effective tax rate in each period and our projected annual effective tax rate as calculated under the estimated annual effective tax rate method and, to a lesser extent, the effects of tax-favored income. Further, our effective tax rate for the 2023 three-month period was impacted by the $2.0 million decrease in the contingent consideration liability related to the NORCAL acquisition, all of which was non-taxable. See further discussion on our contingent consideration in Note 2 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no other individually significant items impacting our effective tax rates for the 2024 and 2023 three-month period.

Table of Contents

Our effective tax rate for the 2024 and 2023 three-month periods, as shown in the table above, differed from our projected annual effective tax rate of 17.3% and 19.9%, respectively, due to certain discrete items. When we utilize the estimated annual effective tax rate method, certain items are treated as discrete items and are reflected in the effective tax rate in the period in which they are included in net income (loss). These discrete items decreased our effective tax rate by 4.3% for the 2024 three-month period and increased our effective tax rate by 6.1% for the 2023 three-month period and were comprised of individually insignificant components.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We believe that we are principally exposed to two types of market risk: interest rate risk and credit risk. We have limited exposure to foreign currency risk as we issue few insurance contracts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and we have few monetary or non-monetary assets or obligations denominated in foreign currencies.

Interest Rate Risk

Investments

Our fixed maturities portfolio is exposed to interest rate risk. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the market valuation of these securities. As interest rates rise, market values of fixed income portfolios fall and vice versa. Certain of the securities are held in an unrealized loss position; we do not intend to sell and believe we will not be required to sell any debt security held in an unrealized loss position before its anticipated recovery. If recovery is not anticipated, we will record an impairment loss through earnings either by establishing a credit allowance or by directly reducing the security's amortized cost basis if there is an intent to sell.

The following tables summarize estimated changes in the fair value of our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities for specific hypothetical changes in interest rates by asset class at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. There are principally two factors that determine interest rates on a given security: changes in the level of yield curves and credit spreads. As different asset classes can be affected in different ways by movements in those two factors, we have separated our portfolio by asset class in the following tables.

Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including the maintenance of the existing level and composition of fixed income security assets, and should not be relied on as indicative of future results.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of the fair value of fixed rate instruments. Actual values may differ from the projections presented should market conditions vary from assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value of individual securities, including non-parallel shifts in the term structure of interest rates and changing individual issuer credit spreads.

At March 31, 2024, our fixed maturities portfolio includes fixed maturities classified as trading securities which do not have a significant amount of exposure to market interest rates or credit spreads.

Our cash and short-term investments at March 31, 2024 were carried at fair value which approximates their cost basis due to their short-term nature. Our cash and short-term investments lack significant interest rate sensitivity due to their short duration.

Debt

We are exposed to interest rate risk due to variability in the base rate on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan. Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan accrue interest at a selected SOFR base rate, adjusted by a margin. To manage our exposure to interest rate risk on any borrowings under these agreements, we entered into two Interest Rate Swaps which effectively fix the base rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan to 3.187% and 3.207%, respectively. See further information regarding the Interest Rate Swaps in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2024, the Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan each have $125 million in outstanding borrowings. Additional information regarding our debt is provided in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We are exposed to certain economic risks related to the costs of our defined benefit pension plan, including changes in discount rates for high quality corporate bonds and changes in the expected return on plan assets.

Table of Contents

Credit Risk

We have exposure to credit risk primarily as a holder of fixed income securities. We control this exposure by emphasizing investment grade credit quality in the fixed income securities we purchase.

As of March 31, 2024, 92% of our fixed maturity securities were rated investment grade as determined by NRSROs, such as Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. We believe that this concentration in investment grade securities reduces our exposure to credit risk on our fixed income investments to an acceptable level. However, investment grade securities, in spite of their rating, can rapidly deteriorate and result in significant losses. Ratings published by the NRSROs are one of the tools used to evaluate the creditworthiness of our securities. The ratings reflect the subjective opinion of the rating agencies as to the creditworthiness of the securities; therefore, we may be subject to additional credit exposure should the ratings prove to be unreliable.

We also have exposure to credit risk related to our premiums receivable and receivables from reinsurers; however, to-date we have not experienced any significant amount of credit losses. At March 31, 2024, our premiums receivable was approximately $262 million, net of an allowance for expected credit losses of approximately $8 million. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our December 31, 2023 report on Form 10-K for further information on our allowance for expected credit losses related to our premiums receivable. Our receivables from reinsurers (with regard to both paid and unpaid losses) approximated $457 million at March 31, 2024 and $467 million at December 31, 2023. We monitor the credit risk associated with our reinsurers using publicly available financial and rating agency data. We have not historically experienced material credit losses due to the financial condition of a reinsurer, and as of March 31, 2024 our expected credit losses associated with our receivables from reinsurers were nominal in amount.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company participated in management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 31, 2024. ProAssurance’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls during the quarter.
