Liberty Mutual Hints At Significant Hurricane-Related Losses in Q3-2024

October 28, 2024 by AC Editor


Combine Hurricane Losses From Helene and Milton Could Reach Nearly $900 Million, Pre-Tax

Liberty Mutual Holding Company, Inc., the parent company of the Liberty Mutual Insurance group, released preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2024, including an early estimate of losses from recent hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Q3 Premium Growth and Consistent Profitability

Overall, the insurer announced Net Written Premiums of approximately $12 billion for the third quarter, with a year-to-date total of $34 billion as of September 30, 2024. These figures demonstrate consistent revenue growth as the company maintains its strong market presence.

The insurer also reported preliminary Net Income of $900 million for the third quarter and approximately $3 billion for the first nine months of 2024. This steady profit level reflects disciplined underwriting practices and effective risk management that have kept Liberty Mutual on solid financial footing despite significant catastrophe exposures.

Combined Ratio Indicates Profitable Operations

The company’s estimated Combined Ratio was around 97% for both Q3 and the year-to-date period, indicating a profitable balance between premium income and claims plus expenses. A Combined Ratio below 100% is typically viewed as a positive indicator of underwriting health, showing that Liberty Mutual has maintained profitability through controlled risk exposure.

Capital Strength Reinforced

As of the end of Q3, Liberty Mutual reported total equity of approximately $30 billion, alongside adjusted equity of about $33 billion when excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. This solid capital base provides the company with a strong financial cushion to absorb potential fluctuations in claim payouts and is a positive sign for investors monitoring its stability in the face of disaster-driven claims.

Catastrophe Losses from Hurricanes Helene and Milton

Liberty Mutual estimates that Hurricane Helene will account for approximately $550 million in pre-tax losses, already factored into the third-quarter financials. Hurricane Milton’s impact is still developing, with early projections suggesting pre-tax losses between $250 million and $350 million, expected to affect Q4 results.

These estimates, based on both reported claims and modeled data, reflect the unpredictable nature of catastrophic losses. Given the recency of these events, Liberty Mutual has indicated that actual losses may vary from these preliminary figures.
