Reaffirms discipline amid competition
Q&A largely reaffirmed prepared remarks' confident tone amid moderating rates, with management insisting pricing stays attractive via strict discipline. They targeted a 35% expense ratio run-rate, expecting ~0.5-point annual cuts alongside 10% growth. Reinsurance faces competition but they'll prune unprofitable treaties; umbrella profitability pressured by large losses and social inflation, prompting rate filings and reserve strengthening. Discipline trumps softening markets. Investors will watch expense leverage and pricing power into 2026.

Premium growth stemmed from core commercial lines and rate hikes. Reserves remain estimates, prone to short-settlement shortfalls.
