NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The words "Company," "we," "us," or "our" refer to Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries, except as expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise. We have prepared our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements ("Financial Statements") in conformity with (i) United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and (ii) the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. These require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial statement balances and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Our Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that, in our opinion, are normal, recurring, and necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial condition. Our Financial Statements cover the first quarters ended March 31, 2025 ("First Quarter 2025") and March 31, 2024 ("First Quarter 2024"). Our Financial Statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP and the SEC for audited annual financial statements. Because interim period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of full-year results, our Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Annual Report") filed with the SEC.

NOTE 2. Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted no accounting pronouncements in First Quarter 2025.

Pronouncements to be effective in the future

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 amends disclosure requirements to provide greater transparency on income taxes. The following additional disclosures are required annually: (i) specific required categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (iii) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, and (iv) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Amendments can be applied prospectively. Retrospective application and early adoption are permitted. As it only requires additional disclosure, ASU 2023-09 will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU

2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. This ASU does not change the expense captions on the income statement; rather it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. This ASU can be applied prospectively. Retrospective application and early adoption are permitted. As ASU 2024-03 only requires additional disclosure, it will not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

During First Quarter 2025 and First Quarter 2024, we had no write-offs or recoveries of our AFS fixed income securities.

For information on our methodology and significant inputs used to measure expected credit losses, our accounting policy for recognizing write-offs of uncollectible amounts, and our treatment of accrued interest, refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2024 Annual Report. Accrued interest on AFS securities was $74.6 million as of March 31, 2025, and $74.3 million as of December 31, 2024. We did not record any material write-offs of accrued interest in First Quarter 2025 and First Quarter 2024.

We currently do not intend to sell any of the securities summarized in the tables above, nor do we believe we will be required to sell any of them. Considering these factors and our review of these securities under our credit loss policy as described in Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2024 Annual Report, we have concluded that no additional allowance for credit loss is required on these balances beyond the allowance for credit loss recorded as of March 31, 2025. This conclusion reflects our current judgment about the financial position and future prospects of the entities that issued the investment security and underlying collateral.

(c) AFS and held-to-maturity ("HTM") fixed income securities at March 31, 2025, by contractual maturity are shown below. The maturities of RMBS, CMBS, CLO and other ABS securities were calculated using each security's expected maturities. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

We are contractually committed to make additional investments up to the remaining commitments stated above. We did not provide any non-contractual financial support during 2025 or 2024.

The following table shows gross summarized financial information for our alternative investments portfolio, including the portion we do not own. As the majority of these investments report results to us on a one-quarter lag, the summarized financial statement information is for the three-month period ended December 31:


Income Statement Information	Quarter ended March 31,
($ in millions)	2025		2024
Net investment income (loss)	$	400.7	(346.0)
Realized gains	612.0		1,830.8

(e) We have pledged certain AFS fixed income securities as collateral related to our borrowing relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY"). In addition, we had certain securities on deposit with various state and regulatory agencies at March 31, 2025, to comply with insurance laws. We retain all rights regarding all securities pledged as collateral.

The following table summarizes the market value of these securities at March 31, 2025:

Net investment income earned	$	120,691	107,849

The increase in net investment income earned in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 was primarily driven by active portfolio management, operating cash flow deployment, and net proceeds from the issuance of our 5.90% Senior Notes in First Quarter 2025. For additional information regarding our 5.90% Senior Notes issuance, see Note 12. "Indebtedness" in Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

The quantitative details of these unobservable inputs are neither provided to us, nor reasonably available to us, and therefore are not included in the tables above.

For the securities in the tables above valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, we apply an illiquidity spread in determining fair value. An increase in this assumption would result in a lower fair value measurement.

Prior year reserve development in First Quarter 2025 was favorable by $13.7 million, consisting of $18.7 million of favorable property reserve development, partially offset by $5.0 million of unfavorable casualty reserve development. The unfavorable casualty reserve development related to our Standard Personal Lines segment and was driven by $5.0 million in unfavorable development, primarily related to increased severities in accident year 2024 in the personal automobile line of business.

Prior year reserve development in First Quarter 2024 was unfavorable by $15.8 million, consisting of $35.0 million of unfavorable casualty reserve development, partially offset by $19.2 million of favorable property reserve development. Our Standard Commercial Lines segment drove the unfavorable casualty reserve development consisting of $50.0 million in our general liability line of business, primarily driven by increased severities in accident years 2020 through 2023, partially offset by $15.0 million of favorable casualty reserve development in our workers compensation line of business.

Our Standard Personal Lines Segment also had unfavorable casualty reserve development of $5.0 million in our personal automobile line of business, offset by favorable development of $5.0 million in our homeowners line of business in First Quarter 2024.

NOTE 9. Segment Information

We evaluate the results of our four reportable segments as follows:

•Our Standard Commercial Lines, Standard Personal Lines, and E&S Lines are evaluated on (i) before and after-tax underwriting results (net premiums earned, incurred loss and loss expense, policyholder dividends, policy acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses), (ii) their return on equity ("ROE") contribution, and (iii) their combined ratios.

•Our Investments segment is primarily evaluated on after-tax net investment income and its ROE contribution. After-tax net realized and unrealized gains and losses are also included in our Investments segment results.

In computing each segment's results, we do not make adjustments for interest expense or corporate expenses. No segment has a separate investment portfolio or allocated assets.

On December 2, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program, with no set expiration or termination date. Our repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. Management has the discretion under the authorization to determine the timing and amount of any share repurchases based on market conditions and other considerations. In First Quarter 2025, we repurchased 233,611 shares of our common stock under the program. The total cost of repurchases, including commissions, was $19.4 million in First Quarter 2025. Authorized repurchases reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity also include estimated excise taxes of $0.1 million in First Quarter 2025. We had $56.1 million of remaining capacity under our share repurchase program as of March 31, 2025.

NOTE 15. Litigation

As of March 31, 2025, we do not believe we are involved in any legal action that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of conducting business, we are parties in various legal actions. Most are claims litigation involving our ten insurance subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Insurance Subsidiaries") as (i) liability insurers defending or providing indemnity for third-party claims brought against our customers, (ii) insurers defending first-party coverage claims brought against them, or (iii) liability insurers seeking declaratory judgment on our insurance coverage obligations. We account for such activity by establishing unpaid loss and loss expense reserves. Considering potential losses and defense costs reserves, we expect that any potential ultimate liability for ordinary course claims litigation will not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

From time to time, our Insurance Subsidiaries are named as defendants in other legal actions, some asserting claims for substantial amounts. Plaintiffs may style these actions as class actions and seek judicial certification of a state or national class for allegations involving our business practices, such as improper medical provider reimbursement under workers compensation and personal and commercial automobile insurance policies or improper reimbursement for automobile parts. Similarly, our Insurance Subsidiaries can be named defendants in individual actions seeking extra-contractual damages, punitive damages, or penalties, often alleging bad faith in handling insurance claims. We believe we have valid defenses to these allegations and account for such activity by establishing unpaid loss and loss expense reserves. Considering estimated losses and defense costs reserves, we expect that any potential ultimate liability for these other legal actions will not be material to our consolidated financial condition. Litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable and the amounts sought in certain actions are large or indeterminate. Adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the quarterly or annual period in which they occur.

Forward-Looking Statements

The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries, except as expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires. Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"). The PSLRA provides a forward-looking statement safe harbor under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements discuss our intentions, beliefs, projections, estimations, or forecasts of future events and financial performance. They involve uncertainties and known and unknown risks and other factors that may cause actual results, activity levels, or performance to materially differ from those in or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements include the words "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "attribute," "confident," "strong," "target," "project," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "pro forma," "seek," "likely," "continue," or comparable terms. Our forward-looking statements are only predictions; we cannot guarantee or assure that such expectations will prove correct. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason except as may be required by law.

We discuss the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our projections, forecasts, or estimates in forward-looking statements in Item 1A. "Risk Factors." in Part II. "Other Information" of this Form 10-Q. These risk factors

may not be exhaustive. We operate in a constantly changing business environment, and new risk factors may emerge at any time. We cannot predict these new risk factors, their impact on our businesses, or the extent to which one or any combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements. Given these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events we discuss might not occur.

Introduction

We classify our business into four reportable segments:

•Standard Commercial Lines;

•Standard Personal Lines;

•Excess and Surplus Lines ("E&S Lines"); and

•Investments.

For more details about these segments, refer to Note 9. "Segment Information" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and Note 12. "Segment Information" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Annual Report").

We write our Standard Commercial and Standard Personal Lines products and services through nine of our insurance subsidiaries, some of which participate in the federal government's National Flood Insurance Program's ("NFIP") Write Your Own Program. We write our E&S products through another subsidiary, Mesa Underwriters Specialty Insurance Company, a nationally-authorized non-admitted platform for customers who generally cannot obtain coverage in the standard marketplace. Collectively, we refer to our ten insurance subsidiaries as the "Insurance Subsidiaries."

The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of our financial condition and consolidated results of operations, including an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows from operations and outside sources, trends, and uncertainties that may have a material impact in future periods. Investors should read the MD&A in conjunction with Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report filed with the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the MD&A, we will discuss and analyze the following:

•Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates;

•Financial Highlights of Results for the first quarters ended March 31, 2025 ("First Quarter 2025") and March 31, 2024 ("First Quarter 2024");

•Results of Operations and Related Information by Segment;

•Federal Income Taxes;

•Liquidity and Capital Resources; and

•Ratings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include amounts for which we have made informed estimates and judgments for transactions not yet completed. Such estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. As outlined in our 2024 Annual Report, those estimates and judgments most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements involved the following: (i) reserve for loss and loss expense; (ii) investment valuation and the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") fixed income securities; and (iii) reinsurance. These estimates and judgments require our use of assumptions about highly uncertain matters that make them subject to change as facts and circumstances develop. If we applied different estimates and judgments, the financial statements might have reported materially different amounts. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to pages 38 through 45 of our 2024 Annual Report.

2Non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss) per diluted common share, and non-GAAP operating ROE are comparable to net income (loss) available to common stockholders, net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share, and ROE, respectively, but exclude after-tax net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments included in net income (loss). Adjusted book value per common share is comparable to book value per common share, but excludes total after-tax unrealized gains and losses on investments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These non-GAAP measures are important financial measures used by us, analysts, and investors because the timing of realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on securities in any given period is largely discretionary. In addition, net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on investments could distort the analysis of trends.

In First Quarter 2025, we generated an ROE of 14.4%, compared to 11.5% in First Quarter 2024. Non-GAAP operating ROE of 14.4% was above our First Quarter 2024 non-GAAP operating ROE of 11.7%, exceeding our 12% target. The increase in our non-GAAP operating ROE in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 was driven by improved underwriting profitability in our Commercial and Personal Lines segments and increased net investment income. Net investment income increased 12% from a year ago, to $95.6 million after-tax in First Quarter 2025, compared to $85.6 million after-tax in First Quarter 2024, and contributed 12.8 points to annualized ROE.

Outlook

Our differentiated operating model and empowered decision-makers deliver our products and value-added services to our customers. Open and dynamic discussions with our distribution partners about customer expectations, insurance market dynamics, talent, and technology confirm our belief that significant market opportunities exist for us and our partners.

Nonetheless, the insurance industry faces significant uncertainty around the macroeconomic environment, including financial market performance, international trade, and a possible recession. We believe we will be able to face these challenges by focusing on our long-term value proposition and executing our strategy, which includes prudent underwriting, pricing discipline, strong relationships with our distribution partners, and leveraging sophisticated analytical tools. Our significant investments in recent years to support scalable and profitable growth provide us with many opportunities to increase our market share, while aiming to meet or exceed our profitability targets.

We remain disciplined underwriters by prioritizing profitability over growth. New business has moderated as rate increases accelerated. However, policy retention has remained strong as we execute our pricing strategy in a granular fashion. As we position ourselves for the future, we have several strategies to profitably grow market share:

•In our existing footprint, we are focused on growing with existing partners and strategically appointing new agency locations. In First Quarter 2025, we added thirty agency locations. In full-year 2024, we had a net increase of two hundred agency locations.

•Careful and deliberate geographic expansion continues to provide growth opportunities. Since 2017, we have added thirteen states to our Standard Commercial Lines footprint, with five last year. In 2024 these thirteen states produced $350 million in premium, which represented approximately 10% of Standard Commercial Lines NPW and

Table of Contents

approximately 2% marginal premium growth. We expect to write new business in Kansas, Montana, and Wyoming by the end of 2026.

•Technology investments are critical to ensure efficiency and scale. We are actively developing and executing artificial intelligence use cases focused on underwriting scalability and improving claims outcomes. We have also made considerable progress modernizing our policy acquisition and claims systems. For example, system enhancements in our E&S Lines segment have created significant operational efficiency, with the segment’s premium production up significantly with limited headcount growth.

We continue to price new and renewal business incorporating our latest view of loss trends and profitability relative to our 95% combined ratio target. In First Quarter 2025, overall renewal pure pricing across our three insurance segments was 10.3%, up 2.2 points from a year ago. We believe our actions in 2024 and the continued execution of our strategy in 2025 position us well despite elevated uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment.

After contemplating First Quarter 2025 results, we are reaffirming our full-year 2025 guidance as follows:

•A GAAP combined ratio between 96% and 97%, including net catastrophe losses of 6 points. Consistent with our longstanding practice, our combined ratio estimate assumes no additional prior year casualty reserve development;

•Net investment income of $405 million after tax. A higher asset base due to proceeds from our senior notes issuance should benefit net investment income. However, alternative investments could face valuation headwinds in the coming months. Depending on the ultimate outcome and timing of tariffs, economic uncertainty and financial market volatility, there is heightened risk that alternative investment income, reported on a one-quarter lag, could be under pressure when we report second quarter earnings. We remain comfortable with the long-term performance expectations of the asset class and our 4% allocation; and

•Weighted average shares of 61.5 million on a fully diluted basis, including the common shares repurchased in First Quarter 2025 and assuming no additional repurchases under our existing share repurchase authorization.

The reduction in unfavorable prior year reserve development was partially offset by higher current year casualty loss costs. The increase in current year loss costs in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 was primarily due to increased severities related to social inflation on our general liability and E&S casualty lines of business.

For additional qualitative discussion on prior year casualty reserve development and current year casualty loss costs, refer to the insurance segment sections below.

Property Losses

Net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses reduced the loss and loss expense ratio by 2.5 points in the aggregate in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024. The net catastrophe loss and loss expense ratio was 1.6 points lower in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, as fewer and less severe storms impacted our footprint. The non-catastrophe property loss and loss expense ratio was 0.9 points lower in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, reflecting (i) the earned impact of higher renewal pure price increases in 2025, (ii) lower claim frequencies, and (iii) normal variability from period to period of non-catastrophe weather.

For additional qualitative discussion on non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses, refer to the insurance segment sections below.

Underwriting Expenses

The underwriting expense ratio increased 0.7 points in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, primarily due to higher profit-based compensation to our distribution partners. In First Quarter 2024, the underwriting expense ratio also included the benefit of a state plan assessment reimbursement.

Table of Contents

Refer to the line of business sections below for qualitative discussion on the significant drivers of unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development and current year casualty loss costs.

Property Losses

Net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses reduced the loss and loss expense ratio by 2.1 points in the aggregate in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024. Net catastrophe losses were 2.4 points lower than last year, driven by lower frequency and severity of wind and winter storm events.

Underwriting Expenses

The underwriting expense ratio increased 0.8 points in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, primarily due to higher profit-based compensation to our distribution partners. In First Quarter 2024, the underwriting expense ratio also included the benefit of a state plan assessment reimbursement.

We did not record any prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2025. The unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2024 was primarily due to social inflation, which resulted in higher severities in accident years 2023 and prior. The general liability line of business has experienced a long-term historical trend of meaningful severity increases, partially offset by claim frequency decreases. Prior-year severities developed adversely, which extended into more recent accident years in 2024 after previously impacting the pre-pandemic period. We attribute the increased severities to elevated social inflation, which we view as an industry dynamic characterized by higher claimant propensity for attorney representation and litigation, longer settlement times, and higher settlement values. Certain jurisdictions with expanded liability theories and higher damage awards pose increased challenges. We are closely monitoring these jurisdictions and the broader trends across our business.

Partially offsetting the decrease in unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development was an increase in current year casualty loss costs of 12.0 points in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, primarily driven by higher severities due to social inflation in the more recent accident years that was observed and responded to during the course of 2024. These actions produced full-year 2024 casualty loss costs of 67.0%, compared with 60.5% in First Quarter 2024. The 2025 ratio reflects the

increase recognized in the 2024 accident year, as well as elevated loss trend expectations for the line.

We believe that social inflation and elevated loss trends are an industry dynamic, which we expect to continue to support an elevated near-term pricing environment. Given the consistency in our underwriting appetite and risk profile over time, we have focused primarily on prudent underwriting and appropriate pricing. Our renewal pure price increase in this line of business accelerated to 12.0% in First Quarter 2025, up from 10.6% last quarter, and 8.6% for full-year 2024.

The underwriting expense ratio increased 1.2 points in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, as discussed in the "Total Standard Commercial Lines" section above.

There was no prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2025. The favorable prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2024 was primarily due to improved loss severities in accident years 2021 and prior.

Table of Contents

In First Quarter 2025, the combined ratio was adversely impacted by an increase in current year casualty loss costs of 8.5 points, primarily driven by loss trend outpacing rate level reductions. These rate level reductions are driven by continued decreases in workers compensation rating bureau loss costs, which we use to supplement our data in determining premium rates for this line of business.

NPW decreased 12% in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024. The decrease in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 was primarily due to direct new business and retention reductions, partially offset by renewal pure price increases and higher average policy sizes from our mass affluent market strategy. New business decreased 58% and new policy counts decreased 68% in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 as we focused on growth in states where our rate levels are adequate, and where we anticipate profitable growth. We have also significantly curtailed production, including restricting new business in certain states, like New Jersey, our biggest market, where filed rates do not support a path to profitability. The following table depicts our reductions in direct new business and retention:

Retention	75		%	83

1Excludes our Flood direct premiums written, which are 100% ceded to the NFIP and do not impact NPW.

We are taking actions to improve the profitability of this business, refine our pricing factors, and prioritize rate filings to mitigate inflationary impacts. Our more significant rate increases began to take effect early in 2023 and increased in number and magnitude through 2024. We expect 2025 rate changes to remain above loss trends but moderate compared to our rate increases in 2024. Directly related to our actions, we achieved a renewal pure price increase of 24.1% in First Quarter 2025. We also are continuing to seek improved homeowners profitability by expanding the use of new policy terms and conditions, including (i) coverage for older roofs based on a schedule of factors rather than replacement cost and (ii) where allowed by law, mandatory wind/hail deductibles in states exposed to severe convective storms.

The change in NPE in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 resulted from the same impacts to NPW described above.

Prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2025 included $5.0 million in personal automobile, primarily driven by increased severities in accident year 2024. Our homeowners line of business experienced $5.0 million of favorable prior year casualty reserve development in First Quarter 2024, primarily due to lower loss severities in accident years 2021 and prior. This favorable development was offset by $5.0 million of unfavorable prior year casualty reserve development on our personal automobile line of business in First Quarter 2024, primarily driven by increased loss severities in accident years 2021 through 2023.

Current year casualty loss costs decreased 2.5 points in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, primarily due to the earned impact of significant rate increases.

Property Losses

Net catastrophe and non-catastrophe property losses reduced the loss and loss expense ratio by 9.6 points in the aggregate in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024. Non-catastrophe property loss and loss expense ratios were lower in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 due to (i) the earned impact of higher renewal pure price increases in 2025 and (ii) variability from period to period of catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses. Net catastrophe losses were lower in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024 due to lower frequency and severity of events this year compared to the same prior-year period.

The loss and loss expense ratio increased 4.9 points in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, primarily driven by a 4.0-point aggregate increase in property losses in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024. Our First Quarter 2025 catastrophe losses were impacted by (i) the January 2025 California Palisades Fire, which added 2.9 points to our loss and loss expense ratio and (ii) severe wind and thunderstorm events impacting our footprint in March 2025.

We experienced lower non-catastrophe property loss and loss expenses in First Quarter 2025 compared to First Quarter 2024, reflecting the continued period to period variability normally associated with property lines of business.

Current year casualty loss cost increased 0.9 points in First Quarter 2025, negatively affecting the loss and loss expense ratio compared to First Quarter 2024, primarily driven by increased severities due to social inflation.

Investments

Our Investments segment's objectives are to maximize the economic value of our investment portfolio by achieving stable, risk-adjusted after-tax net investment income and generate long-term growth in book value per share, considering prevailing market conditions, our enterprise risk tolerances, and other risk implications. We aim to accomplish this by:

•Maximizing the portfolio's overall total return by investing (i) the premiums from our insurance operations, (ii) amounts generated through our capital management strategies, including debt and equity security issuances, and (iii) profits of our business, and

•Maintaining (i) a well-diversified portfolio across issuers, sectors, and asset classes and (ii) a high credit quality fixed income securities portfolio with a duration and maturity profile at an acceptable risk level that provides ample liquidity.

The effective duration of our fixed income and short-term investments was 4.1 years as of March 31, 2025. We monitor and manage the effective duration to maximize yield while managing interest rate risk at an acceptable level. We buy and sell investments with the intent of maximizing investment returns in the current market environment, while balancing capital preservation and ensuring adequate liquidity to support our insurance business.

Our fixed income and short-term investments represented 92% of invested assets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. These investments had (i) a weighted average credit rating of "A+" as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and (ii) investment grade holdings representing 97% of the total fixed income and short-term investment portfolio at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

For further details on the composition, credit quality, and various risks to which our portfolio is subject, see Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." of our 2024 Annual Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital resources and liquidity reflect our ability to generate cash flows from business operations, borrow funds at competitive rates, and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.

Table of Contents

Liquidity

We manage liquidity by generating sufficient cash flows to meet our business operations' short-term and long-term cash requirements. We adjust our liquidity requirements based on economic conditions, market conditions, and future cash flow commitments, as discussed further below.

Sources of Liquidity

The Parent's sources of cash historically have consisted of dividends from the Insurance Subsidiaries, the Parent's investment portfolio, borrowings under third-party lines of credit, intercompany revolving demand loan agreements with certain Insurance Subsidiaries, and the issuance of equity (common or preferred) and debt securities. We continue to monitor these sources, considering our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital preservation strategies.

The Parent's cash and components of its investment portfolio were as follows:


($ in thousands)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Fixed income securities	$	304,186	268,486
Equity securities	57,443		53,248
Short-term investments	179,854		62,223
Alternative investments	18,481		18,443
Cash	124		91
Total investments and cash	$	560,088	402,491

Short-term investments have historically been maintained in "AAA" rated money market funds and fixed income securities are comprised of high-quality, liquid government and corporate securities.

The amount and composition of the Parent's investment portfolio may change over time based on various factors, including the amount and availability of dividends from our Insurance Subsidiaries, investment income, expenses, other Parent cash needs, such as dividends payable to stockholders, asset allocation investment decisions, inorganic growth opportunities, debt retirement, and share repurchases. Our target is for the Parent to maintain liquid investments of at least twice its expected annual net cash outflow needs.

Insurance Subsidiary Dividends

The Insurance Subsidiaries generate liquidity through insurance float, created by collecting premiums and earning investment income before paying claims. Given the long payment patterns of certain claims, the period of float can extend over many years. Our investment portfolio consists of securities with maturity dates that continually provide a source of cash flow for claims payments in the ordinary course of business. To protect our Insurance Subsidiaries' capital, we purchase reinsurance coverage for significantly large claims or catastrophes that may occur.

From time to time, our Insurance Subsidiaries pay dividends to the Parent company. The Insurance Subsidiaries did not declare or pay cash dividends to the Parent in First Quarter 2025. As of December 31, 2024, our allowable ordinary maximum dividend is $290 million for 2025. All Insurance Subsidiary dividends to the Parent are (i) subject to the approval and/or review of its domiciliary state insurance regulator and (ii) generally payable only from earned statutory surplus reported in its annual statements as of the preceding December 31. Although domiciliary state insurance regulators have historically approved dividends, there is no assurance they will approve future Insurance Subsidiary dividends.

New Jersey corporate law also limits the maximum amount of dividends the Parent can pay our stockholders if either (i) the Parent would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or (ii) the Parent’s total assets would be less than its total liabilities. The Parent’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders is also impacted by (i) covenants in its credit agreement that obligate it, among other things, to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to total capitalization and (ii) the terms of our preferred stock that prohibit dividends from being declared or paid on our common stock if dividends are not declared and paid, or made payable, on all outstanding preferred stock for the latest completed dividend period.

For additional information regarding dividend restrictions and financial covenants, where applicable, see Note 11. "Indebtedness," Note 17. "Equity," and Note 22. "Statutory Financial Information, Capital Requirements, and Restrictions on Dividends and Transfers of Funds" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2024 Annual Report.

Line of Credit

On November 7, 2022, the Parent entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein (the "Lenders") and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent ("Line of Credit"). Under the Line of Credit, the Lenders have

Table of Contents

agreed to provide the Parent with a $50 million revolving credit facility that can be increased to $125 million with the Lenders' consent. No borrowings were made under the Line of Credit in First Quarter 2025. The Line of Credit will mature on November 7, 2025, and has a variable interest rate based on the Parent’s debt ratings. We expect to continue to maintain a credit facility for liquidity purposes. For additional information regarding the Line of Credit and corresponding representations, warranties, and covenants, refer to Note 11. "Indebtedness" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2024 Annual Report. We met all covenants under our Line of Credit as of March 31, 2025.

Four Insurance Subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") branches, as shown in the following table. Membership requires the ownership of branch stock and includes the right to access liquidity. All Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") borrowings are required to be secured by investments pledged as collateral. For additional information regarding collateral outstanding, refer to Note 4. "Investments" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q.


Branch			Insurance Subsidiary Member
FHLBI			Selective Insurance Company of South Carolina1 Selective Insurance Company of the Southeast1
FHLBNY			Selective Insurance Company of America Selective Insurance Company of New York ("SICNY")

1These subsidiaries are jointly referred to as the "Indiana Subsidiaries" because they are domiciled in Indiana.

The Line of Credit permits aggregate borrowings from the FHLBI and the FHLBNY up to 10% of the respective member company’s admitted assets for the previous year. SICNY is domiciled in New York, which limits its FHLBNY borrowings to the lesser of 5% of admitted assets for the most recently completed fiscal quarter or 10% of the previous year-end's admitted assets. As of March 31, 2025, we had remaining capacity of $607.7 million for FHLB borrowings, with a $24.9 million additional stock purchase requirement to allow the member companies to borrow their remaining capacity amounts.

Short-term Borrowings

We made no short-term borrowings from FHLB branches during First Quarter 2025.

The Parent has lending agreements with the Indiana Subsidiaries, approved by the Indiana Department of Insurance, that provide the Parent with additional intercompany liquidity. Like the Line of Credit, these lending agreements limit the Parent’s borrowings from the Indiana Subsidiaries to 10% of the admitted assets of the respective Indiana Subsidiary. The outstanding balance on these intercompany loans was $35.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The remaining capacity under these intercompany loan agreements was $171.8 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We have other insurance regulator-approved intercompany agreements that facilitate liquidity management between the Parent and the Insurance Subsidiaries to enhance flexibility.

Capital Market Activities

In First Quarter 2025, the Parent issued $400 million of 5.90% Senior Notes due 2035, resulting in net proceeds of $395.9 million after a $0.1 million discount and debt issuance costs of approximately $4.1 million. The proceeds from this debt issuance are being used for general corporate purposes, including supporting organic growth with a $200 million capital contribution to the Insurance Subsidiaries in March 2025. The Parent had no private or public stock issuances during First Quarter 2025.

During First Quarter 2025, we repurchased 233,611 shares of our common stock under our existing share repurchase program for $19.4 million, an $82.87 average price per share, excluding commissions paid. We had $56.1 million of remaining capacity under our share repurchase program as of March 31, 2025. For additional information on the share repurchase program, refer to Note 17. "Equity" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2024 Annual Report.

Uses of Liquidity

The Parent uses the liquidity generated from the sources discussed above to pay dividends to our stockholders, among other things. Dividends on shares of the Parent's common and preferred stock are declared and paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors ("Board") based on our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, and other relevant factors. Our Board declared:

• A quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.38 per common share that is payable June 2, 2025, to holders of record on May 15, 2025; and

Table of Contents

• A quarterly cash dividend of $287.50 per share on our 4.60% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B (equivalent to $0.28750 per depositary share) payable on June 16, 2025, to holders of record as of May 30, 2025.

Our ability to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations on our debt and our ability to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders is dependent on (i) liquidity at the Parent, (ii) the ability of the Insurance Subsidiaries to pay dividends, if necessary, and/or (iii) the availability of other sources of liquidity to the Parent. Our next borrowing principal repayment is $60 million to FHLBI due on December 16, 2026.

Restrictions on the ability of the Insurance Subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends without alternative liquidity options could materially affect our ability to service debt and pay dividends on common and preferred stock.

Capital Resources

Capital resources ensure we can pay policyholder claims, furnish the financial strength to support the business of underwriting insurance risks, and facilitate continued business growth. At March 31, 2025, we had GAAP stockholders' equity of $3.3 billion and statutory surplus of $3.2 billion. With total debt of $903.2 million at March 31, 2025, our debt-to-capital ratio was 21.7%. For additional information on our statutory surplus, see Note 22. "Statutory Financial Information, Capital Requirements, and Restrictions on Dividends and Transfers of Funds" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2024 Annual Report.

The following table summarizes certain contractual obligations we had at March 31, 2025, that may require us to invest additional amounts into our investment portfolio, which we would fund primarily with operating cash flows.



($ in millions)	Amount of Obligation
Alternative and other investments	$	329.9
Non-publicly traded collateralized loan obligations in our fixed income securities portfolio	153.5
Non-publicly traded common stock within our equity portfolio	21.1
CMLs	23.6
Privately-placed corporate securities	55.6
Total	$	583.7

There is no certainty (i) these additional investments will be required or (ii) about the timing of funding. We expect to have the capacity to fund these commitments through our normal operating and investing activities as they come due.

The following table provides future cash payments on our notes payable as of March 31, 2025, including our 5.9% Senior Notes, details about which are included in the "Capital Markets" discussion above and Note 12. "Indebtedness" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." in this Form 10-Q:


	Payment Due by Period
			Less than 1 year		1-3 years	3-5 years	More than 5 years
($ in millions)	Total
Notes payable	$	910.0	—		60.0	—	850.0
Interest on debt obligation	739.4		43.4		101.4	100.1	494.5
Total	$	1,649.4	$	43.4	161.4	100.1	1,344.5

Our current and long-term material cash requirements associated with (i) loss and loss expense reserves and (ii) contractual obligations under operating and financing leases for office space and equipment have not materially changed since December 31, 2024. The Insurance Subsidiaries' net loss and loss expense reserves duration was 3.0 years at December 31, 2024.

Our other cash requirements include, without limitation, dividends to stockholders, capital expenditures, and other operating expenses, including commissions to our distribution partners, labor costs, premium taxes, general and administrative expenses, and income taxes.

As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had no (i) material guarantees on behalf of others and trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts accounted for at fair value, (ii) material transactions with related parties other than those disclosed in Note 18. "Related Party Transactions" in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." of our 2024 Annual Report, and (iii) material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or

limited purposes. Consequently, we are not exposed to any material financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk related to off-balance sheet arrangements.

We continually monitor our cash requirements and the capital resources we maintain at the holding company and Insurance Subsidiary levels. As part of our long-term capital strategy, we strive to maintain capital metrics that support our targeted financial strength relative to the macroeconomic environment. Based on our analysis and market conditions, we may take a variety of actions, including, without limitation, contributing capital to the Insurance Subsidiaries, issuing additional debt and/or equity securities, repurchasing existing debt, repurchasing shares of the Parent’s common stock, and adjusting common stockholders’ dividends.

Our capital management strategy is intended to protect the interests of the policyholders of the Insurance Subsidiaries and our stockholders and enhance our financial strength and underwriting capacity. We have a solid capital base and high-quality underwriting portfolio, positioning us well to leverage potential market opportunities.

Book value per common share increased 5% to $50.33 as of March 31, 2025, from $47.99 as of December 31, 2024, driven by a $1.06 decrease in net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities portfolio and $1.76 in net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted common share, partially offset by $0.38 in dividends to our common stockholders. A decline in benchmark U.S. Treasury rates primarily drove the decrease in net unrealized losses on our fixed income securities. Our adjusted book value per share, which is book value per share excluding total after-tax unrealized gains or losses on investments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), increased to $53.39 as of March 31, 2025, from $52.10 as of December 31, 2024.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $284.0 million in First Quarter 2025, compared to $114.2 million in First Quarter 2024, primarily driven by higher levels of cash received for premiums. For more information on our underwriting results, refer to "Insurance Operations" above in this MD&A.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $584.9 million in First Quarter 2025, compared to $86.0 million in First Quarter 2024, as a result of investing proceeds from our 5.9% Senior Note issuance in First Quarter 2025. These proceeds also drove the $346.2 million in net cash provided by financing activities in First Quarter 2025, compared to $29.6 million in First Quarter 2024. Partially offsetting cash proceeds from the 5.9% Senior Notes issuance was cash used for share repurchases.

Ratings

Our ratings remain the same as reported in our "Overview" section of Item 1. "Business." of our 2024 Annual Report and are as follows:


Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations	Financial Strength Rating	Outlook

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes in the information about market risk set forth in our 2024 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this report. In performing this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework ("COSO Framework") in 2013. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of such period are (i) effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information on a timely basis that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, and (ii) effective in ensuring that information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is appropriately accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to

Table of Contents

allow timely decisions about required disclosure. No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during First Quarter 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Incidental to our insurance operations, we are routinely engaged in legal proceedings with inherently unpredictable outcomes that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. For additional information regarding our legal risks, refer to Note 15. "Litigation" in Item 1. "Financial Statements." of this Form 10-Q and Item 1A. "Risk Factors." below in Part II. "Other Information." As of March 31, 2025, we have no material pending legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Certain risk factors can significantly impact our business, liquidity, capital resources, results of operations, financial condition, and debt ratings. These risk factors might affect, alter, or change our actions in executing our long-term capital strategy. Examples include, without limitation, contributing capital to any or all of the Insurance Subsidiaries, issuing additional debt and/or equity securities, repurchasing our existing debt and/or equity securities, or increasing or decreasing common stockholders' dividends. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors that we cannot predict or assess may emerge at any time. Consequently, we can neither predict such new risk factors nor assess the potential future impact on our business. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. "Risk Factors." in our 2024 Annual Report.

Changes in international trade policy could adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth.

Changes in international trade policies and tariffs by the United States and other countries, particularly large trading partners like Canada, China, and Mexico, could (i) impact our claims severity across multiple lines of business and cause adverse reserve development by increasing costs for materials and parts used in claims involving real property and personal property, including commercial and personal automobiles and (ii) negatively affect our investments' fair value and/or our level of investment income.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

The following table provides information regarding our purchases of our common stock in First Quarter 2025:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased1	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Programs2	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Announced Programs (in millions)2

1Total number of shares purchased includes 68,360 shares purchased from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of their restricted stock units.

2On December 2, 2020, we announced our Board authorized a $100 million share repurchase program with no set expiration or termination date. Our repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. Management will determine the timing and amount of any share repurchases under the authorization at its discretion based on market conditions and other considerations.
