The third quarter 2021 was impacted by severe weather events in the Midwest and Texas. Approximately 60% of the third quarter 2021 catastrophe losses occurred within homeowners. The current accident year non-catastrophe loss and ALAE ratio accounted for 60.5 points of the total loss ratio points, or $231.1 million, versus 55.0 points of the total loss ratio points, or $194.3 million, for the same 2020 period. The third quarter 2021 was impacted by elevated claim frequency and severity in personal auto and commercial auto. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE during the third quarter 2021 included 1.3 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $5.0 million, versus 5.5 points of favorable development, or $19.3 million, for the same period in 2020. Underwriting expenses during the third quarter 2021 accounted for 28.4 points of the total combined ratio points, or $118.6 million, versus 33.8 points of the total combined ratio points, or $127.9 million for the same 2020 period. The third quarter 2021 was impacted by decreases in estimated variable agent compensation and IT development costs when compared to the same 2020 period.

STFC's SAP combined ratio for the first nine months of 2021 was 107.8 compared to 108.6 for the same 2020 period. Catastrophe losses and ALAE during the first nine months of 2021 accounted for 17.2 points of the 78.2 total loss ratio points, or $191.0 million, versus 18.6 points of the 74.5 total loss ratio points, or $191.0 million, for the same period in 2020. The first nine months of 2021 were impacted by winter storms Uri and Viola in Texas, which added 5.6 points to the loss and ALAE ratio. Approximately 70% of the year to date 2021 catastrophe losses occurred within homeowners. The current accident year non-catastrophe loss and ALAE ratio accounted for 59.3 points of the total loss ratio points, or $656.8 million, versus 53.0 points of the total loss ratio points, or $542.4 million, for the same 2020 period. In addition to the factors discussed above, the first nine months of 2021 were impacted by elevated frequency and severity of property losses in homeowners. Non-catastrophe losses and ALAE during the third quarter 2021 included 4.1 points of favorable development relating to prior years, or $45.5 million, versus 3.1 points of favorable development, or $31.8 million, for the same period in 2020. Underwriting expenses during the first nine months of 2021 accounted for 29.6 points of the total combined ratio points, or $352.4 million, versus 34.1 points of the total combined ratio points, or $377.1 million for the same 2020 period. In addition to the factors discussed above, the first nine months of 2021 were impacted by a decrease in associate benefit costs when compared to the same 2020 period.

Net written premium for the third quarter 2021 increased 10.2% compared to the same period in 2020. By insurance segment, net written premium for the commercial insurance segment increased 17.1% and the personal insurance segment increased 5.7%. The increase in the commercial segment was primarily driven by (i) new business growth and rate increases in commercial auto and farm & ranch, (ii) rate increases in middle market commercial, and (iii) new business growth in workers' compensation driven by its launch on State Auto Connect. The increase in the personal segment was primarily due to increased rates in homeowners and other personal and new business growth in other personal. The net written premium growth was partially offset by a decline in new business in personal auto.

Net written premium for the first nine months of 2021 increased 7.4% compared to the same period in 2020. By insurance segment, net written premium for the commercial insurance segment increased 16.1% and the personal insurance segment increased 1.5%. Net written premiums for the first nine months of 2021 were impacted by the same factors discussed above for the third quarter.

The third quarter and first nine months of 2021 were also impacted by the following expenses incurred as a result of the pending Liberty Mutual merger: (i) a $9.3 million increase in the valuation of the Director RSU awards as a result of the increase in our stock price; and (ii) $2.9 million of legal and investment banking fees and expenses. These expenses were included in "other expenses" on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Book Value and Return on Equity

STFC’s book value decreased to $21.49 per share as of September 30, 2021, compared to $22.18 on June 30, 2021. The decrease in book value was primarily driven by a decrease in the fair market value of fixed income investments attributable to higher interest rates.

Return on stockholders’ equity for the 12 months ended September 30, 2021, was 7.5% compared to (3.8)% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2020.

STFC’s Chairman, President and CEO Mike LaRocco commented on the quarter as follows:

"The third quarter statutory combined ratio of 103.5 was impacted by higher claim frequency and severity in both personal and commercial auto and wind and hail events in the Midwest and Texas.

"Overall net written premium growth of 10.2% included a 17.1% increase in commercial lines with a 99.7% statutory combined ratio in the segment. In personal lines, net written premium increased 5.7% with a 106.6% statutory combined ratio. Expense ratio improvement continued, with a 28.4% result compared to 33.8% for third quarter 2020.

"We remain focused on continuing our progress toward consistent profitable growth. At the same time, efforts continue toward our planned acquisition by Liberty Mutual, which remains on track to close in 2022, pending appropriate member and regulatory approvals. This transaction furthers our commitment to independent agents and will contribute to the collective success of our agents, policyholders and associates."

For STFC, this amounted to a loss of $0.14 per diluted share and income of $1.02 per diluted share for the third quarter and year to date 2021, respectively, versus income of $0.36 per diluted share and a loss of $0.71 per diluted share for the third quarter and year to date 2020, respectively.
