Net income increased by 30% to $3.79 billiona, or $16.45 per diluted share, compared to the same period in 2024.

Total revenues grew to $36.4 billion, up from $34.4 billion in the prior year period, fueled by a 5% increase in earned premiums across all segments.
The company demonstrated solid operational performance with a consolidated combined ratio of 93.2% for the nine months, an improvement from 95.7% in the prior year. This improvement was primarily due to better underlying underwriting margins and a significant increase in net favorable prior year reserve development, despite higher catastrophe losses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What was the primary driver of the increase in net income?
The primary driver of the increase in net income was higher underwriting margins across all business segments, improved net investment income, and significant net favorable prior year reserve development. These factors more than offset increased catastrophe losses and net realized investment losses compared to the prior year period.
How did the company's underwriting performance change?
The company's underwriting performance improved, as reflected in the lower consolidated combined ratio of 93.2% for the first nine months of 2025, down from 95.7% in the same period of 2024. This improvement was driven by higher underlying underwriting margins, better loss experience in Personal Insurance, and substantial net favorable prior year reserve development, which more than offset higher catastrophe losses.
What is the outlook for investment income?
Travelers expects after-tax net investment income from its fixed income portfolio to be approximately $810 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $810 million in the first quarter of 2026, growing to approximately $885 million by the fourth quarter of 2026. This outlook is based on expectations of higher reinvestment yields and increased levels of fixed income investments, but is subject to changes in interest rates and financial market conditions.
How is the company managing its capital and returning it to shareholders?
The company maintains a strong capital position and expects to continue returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. They anticipate repurchasing approximately $2.9 billion of common shares in aggregate over the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, partially funded by the proceeds from the sale of its Canadian insurance business. The timing and amount of future returns will depend on various factors including financial performance, capital needs, and market conditions.
